Chapter 249

Plus, with the succubi in the air, it would take at least half an hour.

Ling Yizhan was confident in his team's combat strength, but he was not blindly confident.

In the Ancient Battlefield, blind confidence was synonymous with suicide.

At this moment, someone asked, "Captain, we didn't see the Soul-Eater Insect King when we were in the Soul-Eater Bug territory. Do you think it might…"

Ling Yizhan was suddenly shocked, his expression shifting unpredictably. Now that he thought about it, that was indeed a possibility.

If even the Soul-Eater Insect King could be killed, then Lin Moyu's true strength…

"This is a dragon in sheep's clothing."

One could imagine what fate awaited those who chased after the Primordial Rune.

Chapter 232: Level 58 World BOSS, Earth Touch Dragon God!

Ling Yizhan continued to follow behind Lin Moyu.

By this time, their mindset had already changed.

They no longer thought about acting as the oriole waiting behind, nor would they do anything unrealistic.

They just wanted to see how Lin Moyu was pushing through everything along the way.

Ling Yizhan had a feeling.

Lin Moyu was intentionally pretending to be weak, acting as if he were only level 30.

He was just waiting for those who were blind to come knocking on his door.

"I hope there won't be any issues within our human race."

Another thought occurred to him: he hoped no one from the human race would come to kill Lin Moyu.

Given the personality and methods Lin Moyu had displayed so far, he would not show mercy.

Ling Yizhan had already forgotten that he, too, had harbored murderous intent for a split second.

Thinking about it now, it was fortunate that he hadn't made a move.

Otherwise, his team probably wouldn't exist anymore.

Just as he was thinking this, he turned a corner and stopped abruptly.

Lin Moyu was standing right in front of him, as if he had been waiting specifically for him.

Ling Yizhan swallowed hard, "Junior, what a coincidence…"

Several people looked at their captain strangely, not expecting him to have such a side.

Lin Moyu asked, "Senior, how do I get to the central area of the upper level?"

Lin Moyu knew that Ling Yizhan and his team had been following him all along.

His immense mental power made his senses extremely sharp.

Unless one possessed a stealth skill, it was not easy to evade his senses.

As for the intentions of Ling Yizhan and the other 28 people, they were nothing more than a few possibilities.

Lin Moyu didn't mind; as long as they didn't provoke him, he wouldn't bother with them.

Facing Lin Moyu's question, Ling Yizhan pointed in a direction, "That way."

"Thank you, Senior!"

Lin Moyu was very polite; after saying that, he turned and left.

The clicking sounds made by the two skeletons walking beside him fell upon Ling Yizhan's ears, and for some reason, it made him feel a trace of panic.

After Lin Moyu left, Ling Yizhan couldn't help but ask himself, "Why am I afraid of him?"

He thought and thought, but Ling Yizhan could not find the answer.

Perhaps it was the things Lin Moyu had done that had subconsciously influenced him.

"Captain, since we don't want to seize the Primordial Rune, why are we following him?"

Some teammates didn't quite understand Ling Yizhan's actions.

Ling Yizhan thought for a moment, "I want to witness a piece of history!"

…

Lin Moyu continued to advance.

The light of the Primordial Rune was like a beacon.

It attracted a great deal of attention.

As he continued to move forward, this range kept expanding, and more and more attention was drawn to him.

A team of Professionals from the Dragon race arrived.

It was just a six-person team.

When they saw that Lin Moyu was only level 30, they revealed bloodthirsty gazes.

The human race was an enemy; they were meant to be killed upon meeting.

Furthermore, Lin Moyu was currently carrying the Primordial Rune, giving them even more reason to kill him.

They swooped down from the air, not taking the level 30 Lin Moyu seriously at all.

When the Curse descended, rows of Bone Fangs pierced through their bodies.

The Skeleton Warriors severed their wings, and the Skeleton Mages' spells engulfed them.

In less than two minutes, the Dragon race team was completely wiped out.

Two minutes—that was the duration of the Dragon Knight's defensive skill.

When the defense was broken, it meant death.

The skeletons neatly and efficiently stripped them of their equipment.

The movements were so practiced that it was heartbreaking; it was clear that Lin Moyu was already a repeat offender.

Moreover, Lin Moyu had only summoned one Undead Legion.

He hadn't truly exerted himself.

For three consecutive days, team after team of the Dragon race and batch after batch of Abyssal Demons…

came rushing over like flies smelling rotting meat, rushing over to deliver themselves to death.

Without realizing it, Lin Moyu's military badge had turned gold.

He had finally gone from a second lieutenant to a colonel.

100,000 military merit points made one a colonel.

Although he was a colonel, he had no stars.

To obtain the first star, one needed 1,000,000 military merit points.

Military rank progression went from 100 merit points per star for a soldier, to 10,000 merit points per star for a second lieutenant.

Once at the colonel rank, it required 1,000,000 merit points to upgrade by one star.

Calculating based on High-level Demons between level 40 and 50…

one needed to kill 1,000 of them to upgrade by one star.

If killing demons above level 50, which were worth 2,000 merit points each, one needed to kill 500 of them.

Accumulating like this repeatedly, and then rising to the rank of God General…

was as difficult as ascending to heaven for ordinary Professionals.

In the Shenxia Empire, God Generals were few and far between.

Let alone God Generals, even high-star colonels were rarely seen.

Currently, Lin Moyu's military merit had reached 103,000.

There was still a long way to go before becoming a one-star colonel.

Although he didn't have any stars yet, the golden colonel rank already signified that he was qualified to set foot in the No. 6, No. 7, and No. 8 Fortress.

On the battlefields outside the No. 6, No. 7, and No. 8 Fortresses, there were more demons, and obtaining military merit was easier.

Lin Moyu was getting closer and closer to the central area.

The number of monsters along the way was constantly increasing, and their levels were rising rapidly.

By the fourth day, the level of the monsters along the way generally exceeded level 45.

Level 50 monsters had even started to appear.

According to what Bai Yiyuan had said, in the central area, monsters above level 55 were everywhere.

These monsters were powerful and dangerous; Bai Yiyuan himself had suffered quite a few losses back in his day.

Lin Moyu kept this firmly in mind and did not let his guard down.

Ling Yizhan had followed Lin Moyu for three days and witnessed firsthand how Lin Moyu had swept through everything along the way.

Whether it was Abyssal Demons or Dragon race Professional teams, none could last more than five minutes in Lin Moyu's hands.

During the three days, some human Professional teams had also come by.

But upon seeing that Lin Moyu was also human, they all quickly retreated and had no intention of competing.

The vast majority of humans were very united.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to persist until now under the attacks of the Abyssal Demons.

"Strange, why is there no one today?"

For three consecutive days, people had constantly been coming.

But on the fourth day, no one came.

It was very strange.

It wasn't just Lin Moyu who felt it was strange; Ling Yizhan and the others following behind also felt it was strange.

Half a day had already passed, and neither Abyssal Demons nor Dragon race Professional teams had come.

"Something's not right!"

It wasn't just that there were no people; there weren't even any monsters.

For the last two hours, not a single monster had been seen.

Something was abnormal!

Lin Moyu immediately became vigilant.

Ling Yizhan was following from a distance, and when Lin Moyu became vigilant, he also realized something was wrong.

They were veterans of the Ancient Battlefield, having stayed here for nearly two years.

They knew many secrets of the Ancient Battlefield.

The Ancient Battlefield seemed to be changing at every moment, and many changes had occurred within the last few decades.

People like Bai Yiyuan, who hadn't come to the Ancient Battlefield for a long time, would not know about them.

The situation before them made Ling Yizhan think of a possibility.

"Retreat quickly!"

Ling Yizhan roared and retreated rapidly.

His team members also retreated with him, not daring to stay for even a second.

Someone seemed to have realized something, "Captain, are you saying this is its territory?"

Ling Yizhan nodded, "Yes, that is the only possibility. Look at that high mountain in the distance, doesn't it look like it?"

About a thousand meters away, there was a hundred-meter-high mountain.

Standing straight and tall.
