He felt it must be related to Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang, and he was all the more wary of the disposition of this Bodhisattva, who had already reached the realm of a Lesser Buddha.

This Bodhisattva seemed even more terrifying than he had imagined.

And the secret technique of the Buddhist Clan also struck him as unusual.

The fact that the Buddhist Clan could teach without discrimination and carve out their own niche within the cruel Great World was far from ordinary.

After stepping into Area 8, Lin Moyu quickly released a large number of Death Knights.

Riding their warhorses across the yellow sand, the Death Knights quickly scattered in all directions to locate the Demon Race stronghold for Lin Moyu.

Here, the advantages of the Death Knights were once again put to use.

Although they were unable to detect the Flying Ants, the Flying Ants, in turn, would not attack them.

The Flying Ants were only interested in life; they had absolutely no interest in undead creatures like the Death Knights, which were filled with death aura.

The Death Knights moved as if they were in an empty land, completely unobstructed.

In just two days, the Death Knights had located the Demon Race stronghold.

It was a massive fortress, square-shaped with sides ten thousand meters long, and it looked quite imposing.

Yet, in Lin Moyu's eyes, it was a chaotic mess.

In terms of architecture, the Human Race was countless times superior to the Demon Race.

Even the fortresses built by the military, which prioritized nothing but practicality, were far more aesthetically pleasing than those of the Demon Race.

Not to mention that Stone Demons were the type within the Demon Race known for not being particularly bright; it was already impressive enough that they could build a fortress at all.

Lin Moyu had the Death Knights observe from all directions, and they soon had a clear picture of the situation inside the fortress.

Through Undead Vision, he could clearly see that there were a total of thirty God King Rank 9 Stone Demons in the fortress, with no Lesser God Venerable among them.

This was already a significant number; after all, becoming a God Venerable was exceptionally difficult.

Even with the Human Race's massive population base, the number of God Venerables was not particularly high.

The Stone Demons were merely a minor branch of the Hell lineage within the Demon Race; for them to produce even two or three God Venerables was already the absolute limit.

It was unlikely that even one God Venerable would emerge from these thirty God King Rank 9 Stone Demons, even after hundreds of years.

Lin Moyu felt that his trip to the Yellow Earth Desert would nearly wipe out the entire Stone Demon lineage.

If he killed all these Stone Demons, there would be a massive generation gap in the Stone Demon ranks, from God King Rank 4 all the way to God King Rank 9.

They likely wouldn't be able to recover for thousands of years.

"Thirty God King Rank 9s, and it seems there's no barrier."

"They should have a Demon Eye, it just isn't activated right now."

"A sneak attack won't be effective. If I launch a full-frontal assault, I might be able to kill them with my full combat power, but if they decide to flee, there's nothing I can do to stop them."

The Starlight Lich could not possibly trap so many God King Rank 9 Stone Demons.

Without the Support of the Starlight Lich, the effectiveness of the Flame Lich would also be significantly reduced.

There was also only one Skeleton King.

Only Lin Moyu could forcibly raise his realm to that of a Lesser God Venerable, but his laws could not be elevated, so his true combat power was actually inferior to a real Lesser God Venerable.

Furthermore, if the opponents wanted to flee, he truly couldn't stop them.

Moreover, God King Rank 9 Stone Demons possessed a chance at resurrection, meaning each of them effectively had two lives.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Moyu came up with an idea.

Drive the wolf to devour the tiger.

He would lure the Flying Ants over and use them to exhaust the Stone Demons' strength first, then step in to finish them off himself.

This way, although he still might not be able to keep all the Stone Demons, he could at least secure a few more of them.

With his plan set, the Death Knights began to move.

They were organized into teams of one thousand, forming a total of one thousand squads.

Within a radius of one hundred thousand kilometers, centered on the Demon Race stronghold, they began to frantically strike the sand.

Whenever they spotted a sand dune, they would blast it a few times.

If there was a Flying Ant nest within the dune, the Flying Ants inside would emerge to hunt down the Death Knights.

The Death Knights would lead the Flying Ants in circles, waiting for other squads to join in.

Standing beside Lin Moyu was a Lich glowing all over: the Light-Speed Lich.

Its presence granted the Death Knights the fastest speed in the Yellow Earth Desert, sufficient to lead the Flying Ants on a leisurely stroll.

Chapter 1348: Driving the Wolf to Devour the Tiger, Flying Ants Destroy the Enemy

Tens of thousands of squads carved out paths across the vast yellow sand, leveling sand dunes one after another.

Within the one-hundred-thousand-kilometer radius, there were countless sand dunes, and the number of Flying Ants hidden within them was truly staggering.

The yellow sand from the dunes was blasted into the sky, swirling in the gale.

The yellow sand turned into a sandstorm, blotting out the sky and sun, causing even the fireball in the sky to grow dim.

The entire world grew hazy, with more and more yellow sand filling the air like fog.

The yellow sand filling the sky began to merge, growing increasingly dense, truly resembling a massive sandstorm that enveloped the entire hundred-thousand-kilometer radius.

Inside the Demon Race stronghold, the Stone Demons noticed this.

A thought popped into their not-so-bright minds simultaneously: "What a massive sandstorm!"

Some of them had been there for a century, others for several, yet they had rarely seen a sandstorm of this magnitude.

However, sandstorms were not uncommon in the deeper regions, so they simply sighed about how massive this one was and took no other action.

They didn't even bother to activate the Demon Eye.

The sandstorm grew increasingly violent, reaching the point where one could barely see their own hand in front of their face.

Yet the Stone Demons didn't care; they remained quietly within the sandstorm, actually enjoying the laws contained within it.

A buzzing sound drifted from the sandstorm, and a Stone Demon wondered aloud, "Why are there sounds of Flying Ants?"

"What's so strange about that? Isn't it perfectly normal for there to be Flying Ants in a sandstorm?"

They had dealt with Flying Ants countless times and were all too familiar with their sound.

Because they were so familiar with them, they didn't pay them any mind.

But soon, the buzzing grew more intense, shifting from a whisper in their ears to a deafening roar.

The sound of Flying Ant wings vibrating came from all directions; unable to see through the sandstorm, they could not determine how many Flying Ants there were.

They could only judge from the sound that Flying Ants were everywhere—a terrifyingly large number of them.

Lin Moyu stood in the distance, his Undead Vision activated.

In the gray-white world, clusters of Soul Fire were incredibly distinct.

The vast majority belonged to the Flying Ants, while others, which were exceptionally bright, belonged to the Stone Demons.

Although the Soul Fire of the Flying Ants was not as bright as that of the Stone Demons, their numbers were overwhelming, reaching over a million.

The tens of thousands of squads composed of Death Knights continuously bombarded the sand dunes, triggering a thousand ant nests.

Each ant nest contained thousands of Flying Ants; combined, the total number of Flying Ants reached over a million.

The Death Knights then led these Flying Ants, swarming toward the Stone Demons from all directions.

Taking advantage of the sandstorm that blotted out the sky and made it impossible to see, the Death Knights and the Flying Ants charged into the stronghold together.

By the time the Stone Demons realized what was happening and tried to activate their barrier, it was already too late.

After Lin Moyu saw the very last Flying Ant charge into the stronghold, he triggered a thought, and all the Death Knights vanished instantly.

The Flying Ants suddenly lost their target, becoming like headless flies.

The four-winged Flying Ants circled in the air, awaiting orders from the six-winged Flying Ants.

Whether to return to their nests or take other actions.

The next second, the ice-winged Flying Ants issued a new command: they identified the Stone Demons within the stronghold as their new target.

The entire process unfolded much as Lin Moyu had anticipated.

The Stone Demons were dull and slow to react.

The Flying Ants, on the other hand, acted entirely on instinct.

Their instinct was to eliminate all life forms within their detection range, and they would also destroy anything that attacked them.

If the Death Knights did not actively attack them, they wouldn't pay the Death Knights any mind at all.

The Stone Demons, however, were living creatures with vigorous Soul Fire and immensely powerful life auras.

Once the Flying Ants lost their original target, they naturally shifted their focus to the Stone Demons.

Amidst the yellow sand where visibility was nearly zero, the Flying Ants' vision remained unaffected, giving them a tremendous advantage.

From the very start of the battle, the Stone Demons were in an absolutely passive position.

The thirty Stone Demons, all at the God King Rank 9 realm, possessed immense combat power.

They would not be afraid even if facing thirty, fifty, or even one hundred groups of monsters simultaneously.

But now, they were surrounded by a full thousand groups of monsters.

Not to mention the thousands of six-winged Flying Ants, which were also at God King Rank 9, there were also a million four-winged Flying Ants at God King Rank 8.

In terms of sheer power, they completely crushed the Stone Demons.

The sounds of battle roared as the fortress was beaten until it collapsed from the inside.

Under the fierce and dense attacks of the Flying Ants, the Stone Demons' defenses crumbled, and their bodies were torn apart.

Lin Moyu watched quietly from afar; everything happening within the sandstorm was actually impossible to see.

Through his Undead Vision, he watched the fluctuations of the Soul Fire within the sandstorm, thereby deducing the progress of the battle.

The thirty clusters of Soul Fire belonging to the Stone Demons were easy to distinguish; once a cluster of Soul Fire extinguished, it meant that Stone Demon had died.

Soon, the first Stone Demon fell, its Soul Fire extinguished completely.

However, although even more Flying Ants' Soul Fire was being extinguished, the number of remaining Flying Ants remained staggering, showing no visible reduction.

Lin Moyu knew very well that the Stone Demons were finished.

They simply could not survive under the relentless bombardment of the Flying Ants.

Because of the sandstorm, they wouldn't even have a chance to escape.

This was a battle with no suspense.

To ensure the Stone Demons could not escape, Lin Moyu had a backup plan.

The Starlight Lich and Flame Lich were poised and ready; as soon as they saw anyone attempting to flee, they would strike.

The Skeleton King was also standing by, and Lin Moyu himself was ready to act at any moment.

At the same time, the Death Knights were still active on the periphery of the sandstorm, continuing to strike the yellow sand and send massive amounts into the storm to increase its density.

"In truth, the monsters are the masters of the Yellow Earth Desert, not you."

Lin Moyu murmured.

It might seem like the demons occupied a region, but when the monsters united and acted together, the demons could not resist at all.

They didn't even need many monsters; just a fraction would suffice.

A region with a radius of one hundred thousand kilometers was merely a negligible speck in the vast Yellow Earth Desert.

At this moment, Lin Moyu thought of Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang.

Although the two had not formally met, Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang left Lin Moyu with a different impression.
