Especially in the No. 9 area where he was located, there was a peculiar feeling.

That feeling gave Lin Moyu a sense of unease, which was one of the reasons he did not go to find Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang.

The battle lasted for more than half a day, and the Stone Demons finally all died under the siege of the Flying Ants.

Until their deaths, they did not understand why these Flying Ants would attack them.

With their simple brains, they could not imagine that the Flying Ants had been lured by someone.

In this great battle, thirty Stone Demons at God King Rank 9 died completely, and even more Flying Ants died.

Nearly a hundred six-winged Flying Ants died, and more than one hundred thousand four-winged Flying Ants died.

Each Stone Demon had one chance to resurrect, so their endurance was far stronger than it appeared on the surface.

Unfortunately, they still died.

The Flying Ants rushed out of the sandstorm and returned to their nests one after another.

After waiting for another half day, the sandstorm gradually subsided, and everything returned to calm.

Only then did Lin Moyu enter the fortress.

The fortress had been mostly destroyed in the battle; it was filled with rubble and broken walls everywhere.

However, the fortress was not exquisite to begin with, and after being damaged, it was just more of the same.

Some of the rubble was real stone, while some were the corpses of Stone Demons.

They were mixed together and difficult to distinguish.

Lin Moyu entered the fortress, stepped on the rubble, and waved a ball of Undying Flame.

Chapter 1349: You Are Not the Only One Who Can Use Traps

The flames covered an area that contained both the fragmented corpses of Stone Demons and real stones.

A Stone Demon quickly completed its physical regeneration and soul reorganization within the Undying Flame.

In the blink of an eye, a tall Stone Demon appeared before Lin Moyu, prostrating on the ground.

Lin Moyu asked, "Tell me about the situation here."

The Stone Demon answered honestly in a dull, unpleasant voice, "About nine hundred years ago, we cleared out all the Flying Ants in the vicinity and established a stronghold here."

"This stronghold is only one million kilometers away from the nearest Yellow Sand Lake; it can easily reach the Yellow Sand Lake without being affected by it…"

Lin Moyu frowned and stopped him from continuing, "Stop."

He realized he had asked the wrong question again.

He had asked the Stone Demon to explain the situation here, intending for it to tell him how many people they had in the deep zone, whether they were all here, or if there were any fish that slipped through the net.

Or rather, how many strongholds they had, and if this was just one of them.

He did not want it to introduce the past and present of this fortress, or why it was built here.

Of course, he wanted to know this too, but now was not the time.

Lin Moyu thought for a moment and changed the question, "How many strongholds do you have in the deep zone?"

The Stone Demon answered honestly, "One."

There was only one stronghold, which was this one.

Lin Moyu felt slightly relieved; this way, even if there were any fish that slipped through the net, there wouldn't be too many.

Continuing to the second question, "How many people do you have in the deep zone in total?"

The Stone Demon answered honestly, "31."

31, and 30 were killed by the Flying Ants, which meant there was still 1 fish that had slipped through the net.

Lin Moyu immediately asked, "Who is the person who wasn't killed by the Flying Ants?"

The Stone Demon said in a low voice, "His name is God King, and he is our leader."

Lin Moyu's heart skipped a beat.

The opponent had a name!

Based on Lin Moyu's understanding of the Demon Race, ordinary demons were not worthy of having names.

They usually only had nicknames or a simpler designation.

Even those who reached the God King Realm did not have names.

Just like the God King Realm bat demon that had chased Lin Moyu before, it could be called the Bat God King, but it did not have a specific name.

This was also a characteristic of the Demon Race.

In the Demon Race, only true experts, or those whose realm had reached God Venerable, would possess names.

Any demon with a name was very powerful.

Being invincible in the same realm went without saying; nine times out of ten, they could also fight across levels, or even across realms.

Otherwise, how could they be worthy of having a name?

Lin Moyu grew vigilant; God King was the leader of the Stone Demons here, so why would he easily leave?

Lin Moyu asked, "Tell me about God King in detail."

Knowing oneself and the enemy was very important.

Lin Moyu needed to know all the information about God King in order to make corresponding arrangements.

Through the Stone Demon's narration, he began to understand God King and also learned about the special reproduction method of the Stone Demon race.

Besides naturally born Stone Demons, there was another special way for Stone Demons to be born, which was for an extremely powerful existence to split itself to give birth to offspring.

There could be several clones, but only one offspring.

The meaning of an offspring was the same as a biological child among humans, and furthermore, it was an only child.

God King was the offspring of Lord Gold Stone, and Lord Gold Stone was one of the ancestors of the Stone Demon race.

The Stone Demon before him did not know what kind of strength Gold Stone possessed.

He only knew that a long time ago, Gold Stone was already a God Venerable Rank 9.

God King inherited a part of Gold Stone's characteristics and possessed a secret technique inherited through bloodline; although he was only a God Venerable Rank 9 himself, he was not inferior to a Lesser God Venerable.

Moreover, God King was very smart, far smarter than ordinary Stone Demons.

This also explained the origin of this fortress.

Furthermore, the trap originally aimed at Lin Moyu was also designed by God King.

There was more than one trap; they were also in the peripheral zones.

Fortunately, Lin Moyu did not choose to enter the deep zone from the peripheral zones, otherwise, they would have known the moment he entered.

At that time, Lin Moyu would have been forcibly teleported here and subjected to their combined siege.

This time, God King left to see Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang.

Because Lin Moyu did not enter the trap, God King hoped to find out Lin Moyu's whereabouts.

And Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang might know.

After listening, Lin Moyu slowly analyzed and pondered.

He organized what the Stone Demon had said into a clear cause and effect, inferring the previous events, as well as what God King would most likely do after returning.

God King had combat power comparable to a Lesser God Venerable.

If he fought him with all his might, without the replenishment of soul power, his Origin Technique would not last long.

The illusion of the Starlight Lich would likely not be able to trap him.

The Flame Lich and the Skeleton King would also find it difficult to cause him damage.

The Undead Legion would be even worse.

His existence seemed to touch the limit of his own combat power.

The best way now was to avoid him.

But Lin Moyu did not want to let him go just like that.

Killing one God King was equivalent to cutting off Gold Stone's inheritance; it would be extremely difficult for him to split off another offspring.

For the Stone Demon race, this was a heavy blow, even greater than killing 30 God King Rank 9s.

If he ignored God King, he would inevitably become a God Venerable, and by then, there would be another powerful enemy for the human race.

Therefore, from the bottom of his heart, Lin Moyu did not want to let God King go.

The problem now was how to kill him without letting him escape.

After thinking for a moment, a plan took shape in his mind.

Immediately after, Lin Moyu flicked his finger, and balls of Undying Flame shot into the sky, exploding in mid-air and creating a sky full of fire rain that covered half of the fortress.

Within the Undying Flame, the Stone Demons began to resurrect, becoming Revenants.

Lin Moyu resurrected fifteen Stone Demons and then ordered them to collect the fragmented corpses of the other Stone Demons and pile them together.

He also had them collect the crystal cores left behind after the Flying Ants died.

As for the fortress, he let it remain as it was.

The fortress was dilapidated, and one could tell at a glance that it had experienced a great battle.

After doing all this, Lin Moyu gathered these Stone Demons who had become Revenants and instructed them on what to do next.

At the same time, Lin Moyu also asked some questions about leader-level monsters.

Regarding this matter, these Stone Demons knew nothing at all.

They had come here, some for hundreds of years, others for nearly a hundred years, but none of them knew that there were other places beyond the deep zone.

However, Lin Moyu had heard them mention the Yellow Sand Lake many times.

Vaguely, Lin Moyu felt that the Nether Swamp might be related to the Yellow Sand Lake.

It was also possible that God King would know more information.

Half a day later, Lin Moyu had everything arranged, and the only thing left was to wait for God King to return.

You can use traps to kill me, and I will pay you back in kind.

He withdrew from the fortress and quickly moved away.

The Death Knights galloped out again, heading towards various sand dunes.

Within the one-hundred-thousand-kilometer area centered on the fortress, where the Flying Ants were located had already been fully explored in the previous operation.

The Death Knights arrived one after another at the sand dunes where Flying Ants existed, waiting quietly.

Lin Moyu waited for another day, and suddenly, a faint light shone from somewhere in the fortress.

Dark green abyss flames burned fiercely, spreading outwards like ripples.

A tall figure appeared in the firelight.

God King returned, and as soon as he returned to the fortress, his eyes contracted sharply, and his expression changed instantly.

Chapter 1350: The Fortress Is Your Graveyard

The moment God King returned, the Death Knights Lin Moyu had arranged in the distance sent back information.

In the gray-white Undead Vision, a brilliant and vigorous Soul Fire suddenly appeared.

A Soul Fire more powerful than a God King Rank 9, needless to say, it was God King.

Lin Moyu's heart stirred, and the Death Knights he had arranged immediately took action, razing the sand dunes to the ground.

A large number of sand dunes were destroyed, kicking up a sky full of yellow sand, revealing the ant nests inside.

One by one, the Flying Ants vibrated their wings and began to chase the Death Knights.

Inside the fortress, God King knew nothing about what was happening outside; his attention had been drawn by the severely damaged fortress.

Rubble was everywhere, and the fortress, which was originally passable, had now completely collapsed.
