Chapter 2469
"If I haven't guessed wrong, this mission should be about helping him recover the bones from his military disintegration."
The method to trigger it was very simple; he picked up the severed arm bone with both hands and took out the seal to touch the severed arm bone.
The seal immediately radiated light, and the severed arm bone began to glow faintly along with it.
A stream of information was transmitted from the severed arm.
[Search within the 10,000-mile area for the remaining bones, restore the complete corpse of the soldier whose military disintegration failed, and cause it to temporarily resurrect from the passage of time. Upon completion, you will receive a reward.]
[The fallen soldier has waited too long; please find the remaining bones as soon as possible.]
The mission was revealed; this time, there was no need to fight, only to search for items.
However, Lin Moyu knew that this was the hardest part, far more difficult than fighting and killing.
A 10,000-mile area and endless years; even though the Ancient Battlefield was minimally affected by the terrain changes of the Origin Continent, it had still undergone significant changes.
He had discovered this earlier when he compared the map from the seal with the map he had obtained from his own exploration.
The 10,000-mile area was neither large nor small. Lin Moyu did not know what it was like in the past, but now, the area was covered in dense, ancient forests.
And it was very likely that the corpse was inside the trunks of the ancient trees.
The corpse had fused with the ancient trees, so even if his spiritual sense was sharp, it would be difficult to find.
To search for it, he would have to corrode all the ancient trees, and during the corrosion process, he had to control his power well so as not to damage the bones.
This meant that he could not let the Undead Legion do this; after all, the Undead Legion was still lacking when it came to fine control.
If he accidentally damaged the bones, this mission would definitely fail.
The mission stated very clearly to ensure the bones remained intact.
Consequently, efficiency would be greatly reduced, wasting too much time.
If someone like Su Fengze were to do it, they could spend one opportunity to enter the Ancient Battlefield to complete one mission.
Then they would wait another thousand years to come back in and do other missions.
Lin Moyu did not want to do that; a thousand years was too long, and he could not afford to wait.
The mission also had a clear reminder that the fallen soldier had waited too long and that he needed to complete it as soon as possible.
In other words, as long as he completed it quickly enough, he could obtain extra rewards.
However, with a 10,000-mile area, countless ancient trees, and the need for extreme caution, how could he complete it fast enough?
This mission was not impossible to complete, but it was impossible to complete quickly.
Lin Moyu pondered the mission information; the information was not complex, it was very simple.
Suddenly, he grasped a problem within the mission information.
Making the soldier who underwent military disintegration resurrect was the most important purpose of this mission, while restoring the complete bones was just a process; if the complete bones could not be restored, it would naturally be impossible to resurrect from the military disintegration.
Countless years had passed, and countless years had passed since the failed military disintegration; it was absolutely impossible to truly resurrect.
The mission only stated, "temporarily resurrect."
After thinking about it, Lin Moyu understood the focus of this mission.
The ultimate goal of this mission was to make the fallen soldier resurrect; this was the true purpose of the mission.
If he had a way to make him resurrect without relying on the bones…
"If my idea is feasible, then the mission will be completely over-completed, and I will definitely be able to obtain a substantial reward."
"If my idea is not feasible, at most, this mission will just fail."
"If the mission fails, there is no reward, but there will also be no punishment."
"Since that's the case, I'll take a gamble."
For a mission with no punishment, it was equivalent to a bet that couldn't be lost; only a fool wouldn't take it.
Lin Moyu waved his hand, causing the remains to float into mid-air, and a ball of Undying Flame flew out and landed on the remains.
Origin-level spell: Resurrection of the Dead.
He had suffered losses before; the Undying Flame could not touch the ground, otherwise, there would be trouble.
Even this time, Lin Moyu had made full preparations and would stop immediately if anything went wrong.
Fortunately, this time did not disappoint Lin Moyu, and Resurrection of the Dead worked smoothly.
This piece of bone, which had been dead for who knew how many years, began to grow again under some kind of miraculous power.
However, because so much time had passed, the speed of regeneration was somewhat slow.
Even at Lin Moyu's current realm, he was still unable to understand what kind of power was contained within Resurrection of the Dead.
Just like how he couldn't understand Corpse Explosion, his few spells were all too peculiar.
Watching the bones slowly regenerate, other parts of the skeleton began to grow.
First, the upper body, then the lower body began to regenerate, followed by the other arm, and finally the head.
The skeleton of this corpse was very large, standing over four meters tall. Looking at the bone frame, it was indeed somewhat different from the human race and seemed to carry some characteristics of the demon race.
Just by looking at the bones, it was impossible to tell exactly which demon race it belonged to.
Moreover, the demon race of the prehistoric era would not be the same as the demon race of today.
A moment later, the skull also finished regenerating, and by this time, the entire skeleton was complete.
Through the skeleton, it could be seen that the individual's eyes and mouth were very large, and it had a pointed nose.
As the skeleton finished regenerating, the flesh and blood also began to regenerate.
While the flesh and blood were regenerating, spiritual fluctuations appeared as well.
Lin Moyu watched this scene and thought to himself, "Perhaps I can obtain some information about the prehistoric era from his mouth."
As long as Resurrection of the Dead was completed, the individual would be his Revenant, and whatever he wanted to ask, the other party would answer.
At that time, he would definitely be able to obtain a large amount of information.
The spiritual fluctuations became stronger and stronger, and the speed of flesh and blood regeneration seemed to be accelerating. It looked like this prehistoric expert was about to complete their resurrection and return to the world.
Suddenly, a ray of rosy light fell from the sky.
The prehistoric expert who was in the process of resurrecting turned into countless specks of light within the rosy light and dissipated into nothingness.
The speed was so fast that by the time Lin Moyu reacted, everything about the other party had already vanished.
"As expected, does the rule not allow it?"
"It seems that one really cannot take shortcuts."
The prehistoric expert vanished into smoke within the rosy light, and Lin Moyu gave a wry smile; this mission could be considered a failure.
Resurrection of the Dead had not been truly completed; it was still lacking a little bit and likely did not meet the mission requirements.
Just as Lin Moyu was feeling disappointed, suddenly the rosy light fell upon him as if it had teleported.
The seal flew out automatically, sparkling in the rosy light and rotating slowly.
Lin Moyu saw that the characters on the seal had changed.
The previous "Ten" had changed into "Hundred."
When the character "Hundred" finished forming, a suit of armor naturally appeared on Lin Moyu's body.
He had promoted from the armor of a Ten-Man Commander to the armor of a Hundred-Man Commander.
The armor became more exquisite, and the amplification of power was also increased by about thirty percent.
Lin Moyu was very surprised, "I actually completed the mission."
He had thought the mission failed just a moment ago, but he hadn't expected it to be completed.
And it wasn't just a normal completion; it was an over-completion. With just one mission, he had promoted from a Ten-Man Commander to a Hundred-Man Commander.
Su Fengze had previously needed to enter the Ancient Battlefield Secret Treasury once to promote one rank, and he had to complete several missions each time.
That he could promote with just one mission meant it was truly an over-completion.
Standing in the rosy light, Lin Moyu pondered for a while and finally understood why this was the case.
The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, "I seem to understand the rules of the Ancient Battlefield a little bit now!"
Chapter 3118: My Choice Was Correct
A spiritual light flickered in Lin Moyu's eyes, and the rules of the battlefield became increasingly clear to him.
In the Ancient Battlefield Secret Treasury, wanting to promote rank could be said to be very difficult, but it could also be said to be not difficult.
Completing missions one after another, obtaining rewards, and after several missions, one could promote a rank; this method was very slow, but it was suitable for most people.
If one wanted to rapidly promote rank, then they had to over-complete missions and obtain extra rewards.
Like himself, after joining the Divine Talisman Army, he had gone directly from a soldier to a Ten-Man Commander with just one mission.
And with another mission, he had gone from a Ten-Man Commander to a Hundred-Man Commander.
Compared to others, he didn't know how much faster this was.
But this method was only suitable for himself and could not be replicated.
Wanting to over-complete missions was very difficult and would also be very dangerous.
And executing missions smoothly one by one was relatively safe, but it would waste a large amount of time; perhaps one could only complete one or two missions during the time the Ancient Battlefield Secret Treasury was open.
This was basically the case for Su Fengze; it wasn't just him, the others were the same.
Lin Moyu muttered to himself, "The rules in the Secret Realm are actually about selecting the excellent; the more excellent one is, the more benefits one receives."
"Just as various races need top experts, the Divine Talisman Army is the same; they are also selecting the most excellent ones."
"For the Divine Talisman Army, there are many geniuses, but only top geniuses can stand out."
Lin Moyu's gaze became increasingly clear; he had already understood the meaning of the Secret Realm's rules.
As long as one performed well enough, the rewards would not be few.
Moreover, the essence of the mission was to demand results, while the process was actually not that rigorous.
Although he had failed to successfully make the prehistoric expert become a Revenant just now, the soul had already been generated, and the flesh and blood were in the process of regenerating.
In a certain sense, the other party had already resurrected, at least it was a temporary resurrection.
The word "temporary" was very magical; sometimes, even if it was only for an instant, that was still temporary.
Therefore, he had obtained a reward, and because the time was short enough, there was also an extra reward.
The creator of the Secret Realm's rules seemed to have some kind of restriction and did not want those things from the prehistoric era to be known by others, at least not by ordinary people.
If one wanted to know, one had to continuously promote their rank and demonstrate sufficient qualifications.
This situation was so similar to reality.
Those without ability could only know very little information.
The rosy light converged, and the seal slowly descended, returning to Lin Moyu's hand.
Besides the armor becoming stronger, a Hundred-Man Commander could summon one hundred Divine Talisman Army soldiers.
The realm of the summoned Divine Talisman Army soldiers was still the same as Lin Moyu's, just the number had increased tenfold, which was of no use to Lin Moyu.
A much wider map appeared, with five light points marked on it, representing five missions.
"The map has expanded by almost double, and there are three new missions."
"Even if I don't over-complete the missions, as long as I complete three of them, I will definitely be able to promote my rank to a Thousand-Man Commander."
"However, for ordinary cultivators to complete three missions, one opening of the Ancient Battlefield Secret Treasury is definitely not enough."
"And for me, if my luck isn't bad, I only need one."
The Great Dao of Luck emerged; Lin Moyu enhanced his own luck and then randomly chose a mission.
The Skeleton Divine General had already explored a large area when he was completing the previous mission, and this mission point was also within it.
Comparing the two maps, Lin Moyu clearly knew the specific location.
In the distance, Su Fengze suddenly turned his head to look in the direction where Lin Moyu was.
"That is where Fellow Daoist Lin is. Fellow Daoist Lin's luck is even stronger than before."
