Chapter 1193

According to the Sand Tribe, boss-level monsters appeared randomly, with intervals ranging from several years to several decades.

But Lin Moyu felt that this was not the case.

There had to be a pattern to the appearance of boss-level monsters; it was just that the Sand Tribe had not discovered it.

Or rather, these few Sand Tribe members did not know it.

Furthermore, it was highly likely that crossing through the Deep Region was also related to the boss-level monsters.

"I need to find a chance to figure out this pattern."

Thinking to himself, Lin Moyu suddenly looked into the distance.

A powerful aura surged from hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.

Chapter 1311: Restrictions of Boss-Level Monsters

This aura had almost reached the peak of the True God 7th Rank.

Its realm was not particularly high, but its aura exuded a majestic grandeur, like a king looking down upon the world, standing proudly between heaven and earth.

Under the impact of this aura, anyone's cultivation realm would be forcibly suppressed, making it difficult to unleash their original strength.

Even from hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, Lin Moyu could see tens of thousands of yellow light bands in the sky, flying toward the distance and merging into it.

This was the boss-level monster.

The birth of a boss-level monster was incredibly grand, its presence spreading across at least a million kilometers.

The Sand Tribe clearly knew this, which was why they had sent people out to set up defenses within a million-kilometer perimeter.

But Lin Moyu felt it was useless; other races would inevitably come.

Especially the Demon Race; they would definitely want to obtain the key to the Middle Region.

Even if they couldn't get it themselves, they wouldn't want the Sand Tribe to get it either.

According to the information he had just obtained, there was also competition among the various races in the Middle Region.

If more of your people entered, it was equivalent to my side being weakened.

Furthermore, besides dropping keys, boss-level monsters would also drop some excellent materials.

These materials were also top-grade treasures for comprehending laws.

Out of those who came to the Yellow Earth Desert, how many were not here to comprehend laws?

Otherwise, why risk their lives coming here when they could just cultivate in the safety of their own homes?

A phantom image appeared in the distant sky, outlining the silhouette of a monster.

It was a giant scorpion. While scorpions were a common sight in the desert, this was the first time seeing one of this scale.

From its outlined shape, its length from head to tail was at least several thousand kilometers.

Just its high-arched tail alone was over a thousand kilometers long.

It was not inferior to many massive Starry Sky Behemoths in size.

It gradually took shape in the air, with a total of four pairs of scorpion legs, each one like a sharp blade with clearly visible serrations.

Then, dense barbs appeared all over its body, looking absolutely hair-raising.

Finally, there was the thousand-kilometer-long tail, with a slender needle at its tip that looked incredibly sharp at a glance.

"Incredibly powerful!" Lin Moyu observed. This boss-level monster had definitely reached the peak of God King Rank 7, and was probably not much weaker than some at God King Rank 8.

Moreover, it exuded a heavy and majestic aura that suppressed the strength of others under its coverage.

Coupled with its massive size, its vitality must also be incredibly terrifying.

No wonder the Sand Tribe, even with the combined power of 500 God Kings, was not confident in crushing it.

Even if a God King Rank 8 came, they wouldn't dare claim they could crush it.

Watching the scorpion gradually take shape in the void, Lin Moyu felt slightly puzzled. "Why not have God King Rank 8 or God King Rank 9 powerhouses do it?"

The Sand Tribe Revenant answered truthfully, "Most God King Rank 8 or Rank 9 powerhouses have already entered the middle or Deep Regions. Even God King Rank 7s rarely active in the Outer Region."

"Furthermore, although they can still return after obtaining a key and entering the middle or Deep Regions, they cannot attack the boss monsters in the Outer Region."

"Once they attack, the boss-level monster won't drop any keys, nor will it drop any materials."

"Moreover, even for those powerhouses above God King Rank 8 who have never obtained a key, their participation would greatly reduce the drop rate of the keys."

Lin Moyu frowned. This setting sounded very familiar.

Wasn't this just a penalty to the drop rate when over-leveled characters fought lower-level monsters?

Wasn't it just like this in the Dungeons of the Small World? If one exceeded the monster's level by too much, the monster would no longer drop anything.

It was just that the rules here were even stricter. Exceeding by one rank would affect the drop rate, and exceeding by two ranks meant virtually nothing would drop.

Thus, the strongest powerhouses who could make a move were only God King Rank 7s, who were on par with the monster.

To think there were such restrictions. Lin Moyu thought of another question. "Aside from the realm restriction, what other restrictions are there? Explain them all clearly."

The Sand Tribe Revenant mentioned a few more restrictions.

"In addition to the level restriction, there is also a limit on the number of people."

"The number cannot exceed 500. Once it exceeds 500, the boss-level monster's strength will increase accordingly, making it even harder to defeat."

"Furthermore, there is a time limit. They only have one hour. If they cannot kill the boss-level monster within an hour, it will disappear, and there's no telling when it will appear next."

It was precisely because of these two reasons that the Sand Tribe was afraid of others coming to cause trouble.

The scorpion in the void became clearer and clearer, its body's silhouette fully formed. A large mouth appeared in sight, lined with a dense row of teeth.

In ten minutes at most, it would be completely formed.

By this time, Lin Moyu could already sense the auras of many God Kings; the Sand Tribe God Kings were already poised and ready.

Lin Moyu did not delay any longer and quickly rushed over.

The four Sand Tribe members continued to guard this spot, not following him.

One Sand Tribe member had escaped earlier, so if these few went back, it would definitely arouse suspicion.

At the same time, Lin Moyu knew that his presence must have been discovered by the Sand Tribe, and there would likely be Sand Tribe members waiting for him along his path forward.

Originally, Lin Moyu didn't care about the boss-level monsters in the Yellow Earth Desert.

Or rather, he didn't care about any of the monsters in the Yellow Earth Desert because he had no need for the crystal cores they dropped.

But now, things were different. He needed the key dropped by the boss-level monster; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to enter the next region.

Although he was confident, he was not arrogant.

He did not have the ability to go against the rules of the Yellow Earth Desert.

The Yellow Earth Desert originated from chaotic rules. Although there was no evidence yet to prove that the Yellow Earth Desert was related to the Ancient Era, even if it wasn't a product of the Ancient Era, it was at least from the Near-Ancient Era.

The power contained within it was something even Zhu Qiwu was helpless against.

What did a small fry like him amount to?

Now, he had to play by the rules: kill the boss-level monster and obtain the key.

Then, he had to figure out the pattern of the boss-level monster's appearance. He couldn't afford to waste time waiting here for years or even decades.

Lin Moyu did his best to restrain his aura, put away the Legion Ruler, and silently approached.

At the same time, he recalled the Death Knights he had sent out, then released a large number of Death Knights to help with the perimeter defense, quickly forming a new defensive line.

He didn't want anyone else to disturb them either—at least, not until he killed that giant scorpion.

This giant scorpion was not easy to deal with, especially since he couldn't use power exceeding its own realm, so Lin Moyu had to take it seriously.

The Death Knights silently set up defenses. Lacking any life aura, they wouldn't alert the monsters in the Yellow Earth Desert.

As long as they avoided the eyes and ears of the Sand Tribe, there wouldn't be any problems.

Furthermore, under Undead Vision, the souls of the Sand Tribe were so clear that the entire process was not difficult for Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu stopped a thousand kilometers away from the scorpion. This distance was close enough for him, almost reachable in an instant.

Before making a move, he wanted to see how the Sand Tribe fought.

Knowing his enemy and himself would make his own fight easier.

Accompanied by a sharp screech, the scorpion finally took shape. A vast expanse of yellow sand soared into the sky, wrapping around the scorpion to form a layer of yellow sand armor.

Following the rules of the Yellow Earth Desert, the scorpion fell from the sky, crashing heavily onto the yellow sand.

Chapter 1312: The Familiar Scratching Tactics

The yellow sand once again blotted out the sky, even blocking the scorching heat of the fireballs in the sky.

For a moment, the yellow sand was like a thick fog, making it difficult to see anything, and the scorpion's figure was lost within it.

"Attack!"

Before visibility could return, a sharp shout suddenly rang out, and the Sand Tribe members who had been lying in ambush sprang into action.

Leading the Charge were five Sand Tribe members with God King Rank 7 cultivations. Holding glittering Golden Broadswords, they were the first to Charge forward.

The Sand Tribe members rushed into the yellow sand. While others couldn't see clearly in this situation, they could.

Born in the desert and spending their lives with sand, the yellow sand was their best set of eyes.

Brilliant blade light tore through the yellow sand filling the sky, reflecting the silhouette of the scorpion.

The blade light landed on the scorpion's body, legs, tail, and head.

The five fierce attacks each targeted a different spot, all of them full-strength strikes that had been prepared beforehand.

Lin Moyu had already switched to Undead Vision, so he saw it very clearly.

The blade light slashed through the scorpion's armor and broke some of its outer skin, causing several hundred-meter-long superficial wounds.

Given the scorpion's size of several thousand kilometers, a wound only a hundred meters wide was indeed just a superficial injury.

It was barely even breaking the skin; even its carapace hadn't been fully cleaved.

However, the five attacks still enraged the scorpion. It quickly locked onto the five of them and launched a fierce counterattack.

Its tail turned into an afterimage, viciously stabbing toward one of the Sand Tribe God Kings.

A shield appeared in the Sand Tribe God King's hand, and heavy armor simultaneously materialized on his body.

The shield was extremely large, carved with complex runes and radiating an orange-yellow glow.

The light transformed into a hundred-meter-tall wall that connected heaven and earth, firmly protecting him behind it.

He was well-prepared for the scorpion's attack.

The scorpion's tail stabbed into the tall wall, causing it to burst like a bubble.

The Sand Tribe God King let out a muffled groan and was sent flying by the immense force.

However, he was not injured, and even the shield in his hand remained undamaged.

At this moment, the scorpion's tail attacked again, shifting its target to another Sand Tribe God King.

This Sand Tribe God King was also clad in armor and holding a shield, looking exactly like the previous one.

The shield conjured a tall wall to block the scorpion's attack, and he was also sent flying but remained completely unharmed.

Then, the other three received the same treatment.

Their defensive methods were identical.

The scorpion's round of attacks was swift and rapid, taking less than half a second from start to finish.

By the time the last Sand Tribe God King was sent flying, the first four had already flown back.

The four of them happened to stand at the four corners of the scorpion, faintly forming a posture of surrounding it.

They held their shields high, which once again radiated an orange-yellow light, even stronger than before.

The light from the four shields linked heaven and earth, connecting with each other to form a halo of light, building a wall of light that completely enclosed the scorpion.

The scorpion began to attack the wall of light, but this time, the wall of light did not shatter, having become extremely solid.
