Yun Bai brought Lin Wu to the entrance of the grotto and the two of them stopped there.
The old fox made a few hand seals before runes appeared in front of him that went and merged into the hidden formation array.
~shua~
Once that happened, the formation array responded appropriately and a hole opened up. But the hole was only big enough for Yun Bai to pass through.
"Hang on, the default is set to just this much. I've never actually had to open it all the way through before." Yun Bai said, as he made a few more runes and changed the settings of the formation array.
~flicker~
The formations lightly flickered like electrical static before finally starting to move. The hole started to expand until finally it was big enough to let Lin Wu pass through it.
"Enter." Yun Bai said and Lin Wu obliged.
Tim followed behind Lin Wu, his head looking at everything.
~shua~
Lin Wu could feel the very air changing as he appeared in the new area. New things materialized in front of him, though he knew that it was not them materializing but instead the illusion that was hiding them disappearing.
"Welcome to the Frost Fox Grotto!" Yun Bai introduced as Lin Wu finally got to see everything.
And he had to admit, the place was certainly enchanting.
There were hundreds upon thousands of icicles hanging on the roof that flowed in a place blue light, making it feel like it was daytime inside the grotto. Then there was the moss and grass that grew on the ground along with the many flowers and herbs.
Lin Wu could even see some huge mushrooms that grew from the sides that were over a feet tall. The spirit Qi in the air was higher than normal as well, and was almost at the same level as that of the Frozen Cloud sect.
~Chirp~
Then Lin Wu heard the sounds of the grotto.
"Huh? There are other beasts here?" Lin Wu asked, feeling surprised.
"Yes, there are a lot of beasts that live here. Some of them are reared by my clan as food. We also farm other spirit herbs, plants and fruits, too." Yun Bai replied.
Lin Wu was intrigued and quickly looked at Tim.
"Don't you dare run!" Lin Wu warned before the beast could act.
~Crackle~
Lin Wu quickly created a small crystal and threw it to Tim.
"Just eat this and nothing else here." Lin Wu ordered.
Tim didn't speak anything and simply munched on the crystal while nodding his head.
Yun Bai watched it all and silently chuckled to himself before continuing onward.
~whoosh~
But just as they stepped a few meters ahead, a few people arrived there.
"Huh? Patriarch you're back? Didn't you just leave a couple of hours ago?" The man who had appeared asked.
Lin Wu gazed at him and could tell that he was at the Nascent soul realm right away. He too had white hair on his head and face in the form of eyebrows and eyelashes. The man had no beard and seemed to be clean shaven.
Along with him was a younger man who seemed to be barely out of his teens and was at the Core Condensation realm. Then at the side was a stunning woman with rather voluptuous curves.
'Damn… all of them are hot.' Lin Wu couldn't help but admit.
He had to say that they were certainly a lot more beautiful than most humans that he had seen till now.
And while Lin Wu was gazing at the Frost Foxes, they too were doing the same.
"Ancestors whiskers! What is this beast!?" The younger man exclaimed in shock.
The older man and woman were shocked as well as they watched Lin Wu's crimson eyes staring at them. There was a pressure exuding from him that made their bones tremble and their fine hair at the back of their necks stand on the end.
Lin Wu's sharp fangs and massive body towered over them and were easily a hundred times bigger than all three of them combined. Tim and Yun Bai looked minuscule, standing next to him.
"This is Lin Wu, the Crimson Eyed Emerald Worm and the King of the Millennium forest." Yun Bai introduced.
"Greetings," Lin Wu too spoke, making sure his voice was 'normal' and more genial.
Talking with pretty people makes everyone feel a bit more respectful and Lin Wu was no different, even if he had become a beast. Some aspects of his humanity had yet to leave him and were still intact.
"Dao Shell realm?" The woman finally sensed Lin Wu's cultivation base and became even more stunned.
"Ah, you got that right." Lin Wu spoke in agreement.
~gulp~
The three of them couldn't help but swallow their saliva. They knew that their patriarch, who was the strongest member of their clan, was at the Dao Shell realm and the beast that had appeared was at that level too.
While they couldn't estimate what stage Lin Wu was at, the oppressive aura coming from him alarmed their bloodlines and warned them that he was probably not any weaker than their patriarch.
"G-greetings… Elder Lin Wu." The three frost foxes respectfully said while bowing their heads.
To them, if their patriarch had deemed someone worthy enough to bring to their clan, it meant that they were to be respected. Plus Lin Wu's cultivation base itself was enough to demand such respect, whether it be from humans, beasts or demon beasts alike.
"Umm... why did you come back so soon, patriarch? I thought you had work at the sect?" The older man questioned.
"I did… but the work that I with was none other than Lin Wu and he met me here. So it just made it easier and saved time." Yun Bai answered.
"I see… I'll get the others to prepare for elder Lin Wu's welcome feast." The older man replied.
"Hmm… alright. Do that." Yun Bai agreed.
"Ah! Finally, time to eat some good stuff…" Lin Wu said happily.
