Chapter 1113
"At your command!"
As a Revenant, the Golden Eagle God King would never disobey Lin Moyu's orders and immediately revealed all the information he knew.
Through his account, Lin Moyu roughly understood the sequence of events.
He had originally been collecting shuo gold in the deeper regions and had even attempted to collect some shuojin essence to strengthen his soul.
As everyone knows, shuojin essence is only born at the core of a Shuo Gold Star.
And Shuo Gold Stars only exist in the deepest parts.
He had collected enough shuo gold and was just preparing to go deeper when he saw with his own eyes a large number of Gold-eating Beasts—numbering in the tens of thousands—flying out from a Shuo Gold Star.
There were quite a few cultivators nearby at the time, and once those Gold-eating Beasts appeared, they began hunting down the nearby cultivators.
They had no specific target; any living being was a target for their hunt.
The Golden Eagle God King was one of them.
Gold-eating Beasts are very fast, but the Golden Eagle Race is also a race adept at speed, so his speed was not slow either.
Thus, he fled for his life frantically, relying on his racial talent to escape wave after wave of pursuit.
Over days of fleeing, he witnessed even more scenes of despair.
There was more than one Shuo Gold Star; almost every Shuo Gold Star had swarms of Gold-eating Beasts flying out, with each swarm numbering in the tens of thousands.
He counted roughly and realized that at least fifty thousand Gold-eating Beasts had mobilized; this was an unprecedented event.
He realized something was wrong and began to look for his clansmen to flee together.
The Gold-eating Beasts also hunted them down frantically, and they suffered casualties along the way, with clansmen dying in battle one after another.
From the initial hundred or so people, only twenty-two remained now.
Originally, there were five Second-Tier God Kings in the team, but now only one remained.
After listening to his words, Lin Moyu gained a deeper understanding of this Gold-eating Beast incident.
This was an unprecedented Gold-eating Beast frenzy; not only was the scale astonishing, but at least over fifty thousand Gold-eating Beasts had mobilized.
This was only the part the Golden Eagle God King had seen; there were others he hadn't seen.
Lin Moyu guessed that the number might double again, and the total amount of Gold-eating Beasts mobilized might exceed one hundred thousand.
For every ten thousand Gold-eating Beasts, a Gold-eating Beast King would be born.
The combat power of a Gold-eating Beast King is approximately at the Fourth-Tier God King level.
But if there were one hundred thousand Gold-eating Beasts, would an even stronger Gold-eating Beast King be born, and what level would its combat power reach?
Besides that, there was an even more serious problem.
That was that members with intelligence had been born among the Gold-eating Beasts.
Once they possess intelligence, it can increase the combat power of the Gold-eating Beasts several times over.
Coupled with the special environment here, if the army were to enter, a moment of carelessness would result in heavy casualties.
Unfortunately, the Golden Eagle God King was only concerned with fleeing for his life at the time and did not notice whether those people had all been killed or captured by the Gold-eating Beasts.
However, with these days having passed, even if they were captured, it was likely that their prospects were grim.
Lin Moyu put that question aside for now and ordered, "You are to search in the outer regions for human survivors. Do not harm the humans, and let me know if you find any information."
"As for you…" Lin Moyu looked at the Golden Eagle God King, "Take me to the Core Area."
The talent of the Golden Eagle Race is speed; they are very fast, comparable to flying magical treasures.
A Golden Eagle Race member who has reached the Second-Tier God King level can reach a speed of at least 80,000 kilometers per second, or even faster.
Moreover, while possessing speed, they also have flexibility, making them the best mounts.
Having him as a mount could save half the time.
Revenants do not disobey Lin Moyu's orders, so he immediately flew under Lin Moyu's feet.
The remaining Golden Eagle Race members quickly dispersed and flew toward the outer regions.
A golden light flew toward the Core Area like lightning; the Golden Eagle God King, who had just escaped from inside a few days ago, was now returning.
"The Golden Eagle Race was able to rely on their speed talent to have a portion escape."
"The human race is not weaker than the Golden Eagle Race. Although they are not adept at speed, they have magical treasures and other means, so perhaps there are still survivors."
"I don't know what the purpose of this Gold-eating Beast tide is; it is truly strange."
Lin Moyu had a vague feeling that this Gold-eating Beast tide was different from the past and was not simple.
Could there be a deeper reason behind it?
Chapter 1205: You Just Speak, Whether I Listen Is Up To Me
Golden light streaked across the azure starry sky; the blue gradually deepened, becoming darker and darker, and visibility became increasingly poor.
The Golden Eagle God King transformed into a mount, carrying Lin Moyu as they rushed into the Core Area of the shuo gold.
It was like a pebble falling into the ocean, stirring up insignificant ripples.
Until a deeper blue light shone from afar, radiating onto their bodies like the light of a star, and they faintly felt a trace of warmth.
Within their line of sight, a deep blue star appeared.
It was not as bright and scorching as the Blue Mars; it had its own unique color.
At this moment, light smoke rose from the Golden Eagle God King's body; it was as if it were bathing in flames, and its feathers crackled.
"Poison?"
Lin Moyu was slightly taken aback. The toxicity of the gold-silver stones here was more intense, only slightly better than a poison explosion.
This also indicated that the Shuo Gold Star in their sight contained gold-silver stones of equally astonishing purity and quantity within.
This type of toxin could make Lin Moyu's skin feel it; it was very intense, and even a God King could not endure it for too long.
Lin Moyu narrowed his eyes. If the Shuo Gold Star exploded, bursting open like a poison explosion.
It was estimated that even a God King would be poisoned to death in an instant.
Pills like the gold-vibrating pill would be useless.
Moreover, the explosion range could cover at least hundreds of millions of kilometers; no matter how many troops came, it would mean death.
After all, the highest level that could enter was only the Third-Tier God King level.
Taken all together, it was simply an unsolvable dead end.
The Golden Eagle God King took out a golden feather, which exploded and turned into a streak of golden light, covering its entire body like flowing water.
His body became brighter, blocking the toxins.
Each race had its own methods, and the human race's gold-vibrating pill was just one of them.
The Golden Eagle God King said, "This is where this one encountered the Gold-eating Beast swarm at that time."
Lin Moyu nodded and looked down at the people-locating array disc.
The people-locating array disc did not react at all.
Lin Moyu tapped his finger lightly, and a million-meter-wide Eye of the Undead appeared in the starry sky.
Through the vision of the Eye of the Undead, there was likewise no discovery.
There were no Gold-eating Beasts here, nor any living beings.
But it was not that there were no discoveries at all; through the Eye of the Undead, Lin Moyu saw that there were countless holes on the surface of the Shuo Gold Star.
Under Lin Moyu's command, the Golden Eagle God King landed on the nearest Shuo Gold Star.
There were many holes, covering the entire Shuo Gold Star.
Lin Moyu could imagine that the Gold-eating Beasts had rushed out from these holes.
The holes not only exuded the aura of shuo gold but also contained the toxins of the gold-silver stones, and the deeper one went, the more concentrated the toxins became.
Looking into the interior of the hole, an unusual color appeared in his gaze.
"shuojin essence?"
The data said that shuojin essence would be produced at the core of a Shuo Gold Star.
shuojin essence is not a material but a medicinal substance; it can strengthen the soul's defense and has great benefits for the safety of the soul.
Lin Moyu had originally intended to go and retrieve the shuojin essence after finishing the mission.
"You wait here."
Lin Moyu gave an order and flew directly into the hole, heading toward the interior of the star.
At the edge of Area 6-99, Meng Gang and the other three were waiting quietly.
Around them were 200 Skeleton Divine Generals, protecting them firmly.
With their protection, they didn't need to worry too much even if they encountered a swarm of Gold-eating Beasts.
Yuzhu's expression was slightly serious; she stood straight, gazing in the direction Lin Moyu had left, as if she wanted to see through billions of miles of space to see Lin Moyu.
She mused, "I wonder if Lin… if the Captain has encountered a swarm of Gold-eating Beasts."
She had originally wanted to call Lin Moyu by his name, but when the words reached her lips, she changed it to Captain.
After all, they were still on a mission, and some rules could not be broken.
After the mission ended, she could call him whatever she wanted.
Meng Gang said in a low voice, "The Captain should be fine; after all, the skeletons are still here."
Yuzhu's eyes darted, "Officer Meng, have you ever heard of any puppets that die along with their master after the master dies?"
Meng Gang pondered for a few seconds and then shook his head, "I have never heard of such a thing."
Meng Gang's answer did not exceed Yuzhu's expectations.
Yuzhu had grown up in her family since she was a child; her family had a long history and extremely rich archives.
She had read those materials since she was young; if such puppets really existed, it was unlikely she would have never even heard of them.
If they weren't puppets, Yuzhu suddenly thought of a possibility.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she thought to herself, "If they aren't puppets, could it be a spell?"
"A summoning spell? But is there such a powerful summoning spell?"
"Our human race does not seem to be adept at summoning spells; even the Spirit Race, who are adept at summoning spells, do not seem to be this strong."
Just as Yuzhu was struggling to understand, the space in the distance suddenly fluctuated violently.
The spatial fluctuation immediately caught their attention, and they saw a passage appear several thousand kilometers away.
Subsequently, a team rushed out from the passage.
After the team charged out, they immediately formed a square formation in the starry sky, maintaining tight security on all sides.
From this point alone, it could be seen that this team was strictly disciplined.
A look of joy appeared on Meng Gang's face, "It is our human army."
A square formation is a ten-thousand-man unit.
Based on Meng Gang's understanding of the military, this ten-thousand-man formation consisted of ten squads.
Each squad had a captain and a vice-captain, and both the captain and vice-captain were at the God King level.
And the squad members were at least at the Eighth-Tier True God level.
Each ten-thousand-man formation would also have a commander, who was the strongest in the formation.
To become a military commander, cultivation realm is not the most important thing; combat power is the most important.
Such people are genius-level; they can fight above their level, and even if they are only Second-Tier God Kings, their combat power will not be weaker than a Fourth-Tier God King.
