After the Battlefield Giant Eagle died, its corpse instantly turned into ten thousand specks of starlight, flew into the sky, and vanished.
No corpse… Corpse Explosion could not be used. One of the most important methods in Lin Moyu's skill set was restricted here.
"I wonder if it's just this monster, or if all monsters in the Core Area are like this." Lin Moyu muttered to himself. His whole body was glowing; he had leveled up again.
This was his second level-up in fifteen days. In fifteen days, he had swept through monsters, leveling up from 31 to 33.
Although the efficiency couldn't compare to repeatedly farming a Dungeon, it was acceptable.
Except for Poison Star Ring, Corpse Explosion, and the Strong Soldier skill brought by the Primordial Rune, all other skills had been raised to level 33.
This included Divine Power, which had also been raised to level 33.
Every time he leveled up, the [shenzhou cauldron] would release enough Divine Power energy, just enough to upgrade Divine Power.
The Undead Legion had expanded to 13 divisions. Each Undead Legion division could carry 330 skeletons, consisting of 200 Skeleton Warriors and 130 Skeleton Mages.
When all 13 Undead Legion divisions appeared simultaneously, the momentum was immense, sufficient to support a war of considerable scale.
His Spirit attribute had risen to 20,965, and with equipment, it was close to 24,000 points. His other basic attributes had reached 1,393 points.
It looked messy, but there was no helping it; that was just the nature of Divine Power.
With the next level-up, Divine Power would provide an additional 33% attribute bonus. Accumulated level by level, the final attributes obtained would be beyond imagination.
The Core Area was vast, and Lin Moyu advanced in the direction the light originated from.
After killing several monsters in a row, he finally confirmed that all monsters killed in the Core Area would turn into starlight and leave no corpses.
That wasn't all. He also encountered a level 61 Abyssal Demon in the Core Area.
This Abyssal Demon excelled at ranged attacks and could unleash elemental attacks similar to spells. Lin Moyu sparred with it for quite a while before managing to kill it.
However, after it died, its corpse also instantly turned into starlight and vanished. Corpse Explosion was indeed strictly restricted here and could not be used.
The number of monsters in the Core Area was extremely high, and they were close together. Each monster possessed extreme aggression, just like the first [Battlefield Giant Eagle] he had encountered.
Often, before Lin Moyu even discovered them, they had already charged over.
During battles, they would often pull in nearby monsters. Overall, the danger of the Core Area far exceeded that of the Central Area. It felt like the difference between Nightmare difficulty and Hell difficulty.
Every monster was superior to the skeletons in terms of individual strength. Lin Moyu could only win by relying on numbers.
The danger went far beyond that. From time to time, starlight would fall from the sky. Some would explode in mid-air, turning into massive monsters that soared away with piercing screeches.
Others would fall to the ground before exploding. Lin Moyu encountered starlight that landed just a hundred meters away from him.
The starlight exploded violently upon hitting the ground, blindingly bright. Without any warning, dozens of monsters charged toward him.
The pack of wolves that charged at him was led by a Wolf Leader that was level 63. Its total attributes reached 220,000, comparable to some level 55 normal BOSSes.
The wolves following behind were all level 61, with attributes also as high as 180,000.
Under the command of the Wolf Leader, the pack's combat power was astonishing. The Undead Legion suffered damage against normal monsters for the first time.
Although less than ten skeletons had died, it was enough to shock Lin Moyu. The Core Area was very dangerous!
Lin Moyu's speed began to slow down. There were simply too many monsters in the Core Area, and starlight kept falling constantly. At the same time, he also had to watch out for monsters attacking him from the air.
Lin Moyu had once seen a large group of flying monsters pass by with his own eyes. There were at least a hundred, arranged in formation. Even from several kilometers away, Lin Moyu could still feel their aura.
This group of flying monsters was at least level 64.
If they clashed with his Undead Legion, he would definitely be the one to win in the end. However, the damage would likely not be small; losing several hundred skeletons would be normal.
Originally, Lin Moyu had intended to take a look at the Core Area and see what that BOSS, which no one had ever managed to kill, was like. Now it seemed he wouldn't be able to make it there at all.
He had only just entered the Core Area, and after five days of traveling, he hadn't even covered 1,000 kilometers. The Core Area was even larger than the previous two regions.
At his current speed, it would take at least a month, if not more, to reach the very center of the Core Area.
Within five days, Lin Moyu had encountered two more groups of monsters. One group consisted of monsters that looked similar to mountain goats, numbering around 30. Their name was very fitting: Battlefield Goat.
Each Battlefield Goat was three meters tall, and their hooves were larger than a human head. When they activated their skills, they were all area-of-effect attacks.
When 10 Battlefield Goats activated their skills simultaneously, they instantly killed over 20 Skeleton Warriors. He had won the battle, but he lost over 70 Skeleton Warriors. It broke Lin Moyu's heart.
Ever since that time, Lin Moyu had become cautious and avoided provoking monster groups. There were quite a few monster groups like the Battlefield Goats in the Core Area.
Moreover, the further in he went, the more monster groups there were, and their numbers were increasing. It was precisely because of this that his speed of advancement was getting slower and slower.
Even if Lin Moyu was careful, even if he didn't seek out monsters, they would come to him. A speck of starlight exploded right above his head.
In an instant, a group of flying monsters targeted Lin Moyu. After a great battle, he lost over 80 more Skeleton Warriors. This time, even 10 Skeleton Mages were lost. Adding in the previous losses, he had lost nearly half of an Undead Legion division.
Lin Moyu had to stop and begin meditating to replenish his Undead Legion.
"There are too many monsters, and they are too strong. Especially their skills; although they don't have control effects, they are almost all powerful area-of-effect attacks."
"The skeletons are not high enough level, and their vitality is insufficient, making them easily killed in one hit."
"Continuing to fight like this is not a solution."
The progress was too slow; he had only advanced 1,000 kilometers in 5 days. Especially in the last 2 days, he had basically only covered 200 kilometers.
Without Corpse Explosion, every major battle consumed a large amount of time.
After finally managing to replenish his Undead Legion, Lin Moyu had just stood up and was preparing to continue forward when his expression suddenly changed.
The smooth ground was vibrating slightly, and a group of monsters was charging toward him in his line of sight, heading directly in his direction.
"Damn it!" Lin Moyu used a slang expression from his past life. It was too late to dodge, so he had to fight. Fortunately, it looked like there weren't many of them, only 10.
[Battlefield Armored Beast] [Level: 62] [Strength: 80,000] [Agility: 40,000] [Spirit: 20,000] [Constitution: 60,000] [Skill: Charge] [Trait: Physical damage reduction 50%, Elemental damage reduction 50%]
Lin Moyu saw the information returned by the Detection Spell and felt slightly relieved. "Fortunately, they aren't very strong."
Looking at the attributes, it felt alright, but Lin Moyu still did not let his guard down. In the Core Area, what truly made monsters above level 60 powerful were their various skills. This was the key to the damage the skeletons were taking.
The Battlefield Armored Beast looked a bit like a guard dog he had seen in his past life. It was just that its body was covered with a layer of skin resembling iron armor, with some spikes, and it looked like it had high defensive capabilities.
The Skeleton Warriors lined up to meet them. Because the Armored Beasts' Agility attribute was very ordinary, Lin Moyu directly chose Damage Curse, thinking to end the battle quickly.
The moment the two sides made contact, a dazzling light erupted from the bodies of this group of Battlefield Armored Beasts. They frantically activated their skills, charging forward recklessly. At this moment, the skeletons were knocked aside one after another.
