Lin Wu knew that while the other beasts were scared of the depths of the Dark Bloom caverns, he could still go there. He had the support of the system who could scan out the entire Dark Bloom Caverns and even make a map for it so that he could navigate.

Plus the system would even be able to spot dangers and other beasts in there which would help him avoid them. And just as Lin Wu thought of this, he heard the notification.

"Great, that seals the deal then. The only obstacle that exists now is Shirong himself. I won't be able to get away from him long enough without it becoming an obstacle. Though I still need to be prepared for it. Even if the system can scan out for danger, there are definitely things in there that I cannot deal with at my current strength.

If even an Adult stage Nascent soul realm beast that is over six hundred years old, fears it, then there is definitely something terrifying in there. I best be at the Infant stage Nascent soul realm at the very least, or I'll be courting death." Lin Wu said to himself.

Lin Wu also realized that this was another one of the disadvantages that came with leeching off Shirong. Even if he could obtain a lot of spirit qi, he couldn't be far from Shirong for long and would have to sneak back as soon as it was possible.

'Hmm… having an additional bloodline should help increase my strength, so getting the Sample from the Twin Light Liger would be another thing to do before I go to the Dark Bloom Caverns.' Lin Wu thought.

He then looked at the second beast in his list and activated the communication link with the mole beast.

"Oh, master! I was just about to contact you." The mole beast said with a bit of anxiety in his voice.

"Did you find out something?" Lin Wu questioned.

"Yes, yes, I did. The Twin Light Liger king has sent out his subordinates to capture more territories and I think of the groups is coming towards your way." The Mole beast informed.

"Oh them? Yeah, they're dead." Lin Wu replied in an almost nonchalant manner.

"WHAT! How… don't tell me… you killed them?" The Mole beast said.

"Yup, I did. They were much easier to deal with than I had originally thought." Lin Wu replied.

"You need to leave that area immediately, master! They are expert trackers and hunters and can easily find you through the blood traces if they were left behind." The mole beast suggested.

"I'll be fine with it. As long as more of them don't come together and stay at the number they attacked in, I'll be able to kill them myself. More nutrition for me, Hehe." Lin Wu replied.

The mole beast shuddered a bit as he had not thought of his new master to be so strong. He knew that all of the Lamp Light Ligers in that group were core condensation realm beasts, that he would not even come close to.

'Master's strength is even more profound than I thought. It's good that chose to submit or my corpse would have definitely been pecked raw by the birds… that is if master himself hadn't eaten me till then.' The mole beast thought.

"Did you have more orders, master?" The mole beast questioned.

"Actually yes, I do. I want you to inform me when the Twin Light Liger gets into his next fight and gets injured. And if possible, I want you to obtain some of his freshly shed blood. If you cannot take it yourself and it hasn't claimed or deteriorated by then, you are to inform me and I'll head there." Lin Wu answered in a calm tone.

"Umm… this is even more difficult… but I'll still try my best." The mole beast replied.

"Alright, contact me if a problem arrives." Lin Wu said before stopping the link, 'it's not like I won't know before you die.' Lin Wu internally said.

With all that done over the night, the time passed by. When it was finally morning, the sound of beasts reduced by a bit. Still, there were sounds of roars and growls heard from some of the areas, which meant that it hadn't completely died down.

Shirong opened his eyes and looked at the Immortal Crystal Armament before taking a breath of relief. Even if he knew and was assured that the Immortal weapon would stay there, he couldn't help but think that the weapon was going to run away on its own someday.

He then spread his spirit sense and checked his surroundings.

"Hmm… a lot of the areas show signs of conflict. Looks like a beast frenzy, but with the amount of them that's killing other beasts, I doubt it will turn into a beast wave." Shirong muttered to himself.

He held the Immortal Crystal Armament in his hand and stood up. Thankfully, his aim was to just hunt more condensation realm beasts and the conflict among the beasts was only going to help him more. He took out the spirit sword and jumped onto it, flying towards the depths of the fifth ring.

Shirong knew that he was quite close to reaching his peak at this realm and only needed a bit more of a push to directly enter the pseudo Nascent soul realm. He could even break through to the Nascent Soul realm if needed, but would prefer to do it at a Tribulation platform.

Besides, he had also made a promise with the clan head of Lu clan along with nearly all of the clans of the Deer Wood city.

"Let's make this a bit quick for him, shall we." Lin Wu muttered to himself.

"System, Scan the area for all spirit beasts and evaluate the best route of attack." Lin Wu ordered.
