Background / History

A year before its death, the centipede burst from the ground and attacked Zhang Weier while she and her three brothers were hunting for her first spirit ring. Its mouthparts pierced her chest, and she died from blood loss 27.

Lin Jing later found the centipede in its territory in the Soul Hunting Forest, feeding on a wolf-type spirit beast as it approached the thousand-year threshold. He waited for it to shed its shell, then trapped it with Gravity Quagmire and stabbed it through the head. He absorbed the thousand-year spirit ring left by its corpse as his second ring 25 26 27.
