BXBX NOVEL Chapter 179 - Interference Field?
Lin Wu could feel the area seemed inhospitable to most and looked around. Even on the map, the area had a very clear demarcation.
"System scan this area again? Why is it missing the inner area?" Lin Wu ordered.
~DING~
——
SCANNER ACTIVATED: Scanning…
ERROR!: Interference detected
SCAN FAILED: Higher level interference field detected

"Huh? What?" Lin Wu said to himself in a stunned voice.
He had not expected that something like this would really happen. The system had been successful in every scan that it had done and was able to scan even nascent soul realm cultivators. It was able to go past the limits of formation arrays and even manipulate them by making virtual interfaces.
"System, is there a solution to it?" Lin Wu questioned, feeling lost.
He didn\'t know if he should proceed further or not now. If this tomb could block the Scan of the system and it was well known for killing creatures, then it was a clear warning sign.
~ding~
——
ANSWER: The system can perform a scan if the border of the area is crossed. Only the border is blocking the system\'s scan, it is still permissible for the living creatures to cross it.

\'Ah, I see. So the sparrow beast\'s method to go in should help here…\' Lin Wu thought.
He looked at the sparrow beast and saw the fear in its eyes.
"Well, what is the method to get in there?" Lin Wu questioned.
The sparrow beast seemed a bit hesitant in answering but under the persistent gaze of Lin Wu, it had no choice but to.
"Umm… you have to fly over it and then there is an opening there. It is small though, I got in there by accident when I was younger and smaller." The sparrow beast answered.
Lin Wu felt like slamming his head on the wall upon hearing its words. The system told him that they could cross the border, but looking at the dead beasts\' skeletons it was obvious to be a choice. Flying over it would be impossible for Lin Wu right now, and there did not seem to be another way.
The tomb itself was like a hill and was grey in color. It was quite tall and the trees only reached a quarter of its height even after being nearly a hundred meters tall. Lin Wu knew that getting up would not be possible, even if he climbed the trees.
"Wait Nascent soul realm! Should I… just upgrade to it?" Lin Wu wondered.
But he quickly decided against it. He did not know what kind of effects it would have, not to mention the heavenly tribulation that would descend as well. Even with the system, Lin Wu was doubtful if he was ready to withstand it.
He then looked back to the two beasts and then at their sizes.
\'Hmm… if Shirong can lift me then…\' Lin Wu planned.
"You two, pick me up and carry me to the opening." Lin Wu ordered.
"Us? But master… you are too big…" The sparrow beast said.
"I\'ll take care of that…" Lin Wu said before starting to shrink.
The two bird beasts watched as his size started reducing at a rapid pace and he became only two meters long.
"You should be able to carry me now," Lin Wu said, as he watched their shocked gazes.
"Okay, we can do it now, I guess." The swan beast said and went towards Lin Wu.
The sparrow beast did the same and clasped its claws around Lin Wu\'s body. The two of them started to flap their wings and only then did they realize how heavy Lin Wu really was.
"Huu~ this is too heavy!" The swan beast said, but was then shut down by the gaze of the sparrow beast.
They strengthened their wings with spirit qi and flapped even harder before being able to finally lift him up by a little.
~sigh~
"This will be difficult…" Lin Wu muttered.
He then channeled some spirit qi into the bodies of the two bird beasts and they instantly felt rejuvenated.
"THIS! WHOA!" The sparrow beast exclaimed as it felt a power it had never sensed in himself. The swan beast felt similar and their cores started thrumming with power.
For Lin Wu who had put his imprint on them, it was easy for him to accomplish something like this. Not to mention the rhombus gem was technically a part of his own body that had been modified and thus could channel the spirit qi without much problem.
It was the rhombus gem that had made the spirit qi of Lin Wu compatible with the two bird beasts. He wasn\'t even using the spirit qi in the storage but was simply using his own spirit qi for it.
The two bird beasts flapped their wings faster and faster, until they rose to the height of the trees. At this point they were having a hard time again and thus Lin Wu gave them more spirit qi which empowered them again.
Just like this, a cycle was created and Lin Wu kept on giving them spirit qi, until they reached the top of the tomb\'s hill. From there, Lin Wu soon spotted the opening that the sparrow beast was talking about. It was rather apparent, as that was the only part that looked differently colored than the rest of the area.
Lin Wu could finally tell that the grey color of the hill wasn\'t actually natural and was due to the border that surrounded it. From the opening, Lin Wu could tell that the hill was actually normal and had brown colored soil like the rest of the forest.
The only difference was that the plants on the hill were either dead or they had mutated to become grey colored as well.
~phew~
\'Well… this looks a bit better. But I\'ll only know more once I enter there.\' Lin Wu thought to himself.
The opening was rather small, only about thirty centimeters wide, and Lin Wu had to perfectly fit through that.
