Chapter 232: Level 58 World BOSS, Earth Dragon God!
Ling Yizhan continued to follow behind Lin Moyu.
By now their mindset had completely changed.
They were no longer thinking about being opportunistic, or doing anything unrealistic.
They just wanted to see how Lin Moyu was pushing through everything.
Ling Yizhan had a feeling.
Lin Moyu was deliberately pretending to be weak, acting like he was only level 30.
He was just waiting for those who didn't know better to come to him.
"I hope there won't be any problems with our human race."
Another thought was hoping no humans would come to kill Lin Moyu.
Given Lin Moyu's personality and methods shown so far, he wouldn't go easy on them.
Ling Yizhan had already forgotten that he himself had murderous thoughts for a moment.
Thinking about it now, it was fortunate he didn't act.
Otherwise, his whole team probably wouldn't exist anymore.
Just as he was thinking this, they turned a corner and he suddenly stopped.
Lin Moyu was standing right in front of him, as if waiting specifically for him.
Ling Yizhan swallowed and said, "Junior, what a coincidence..."
His teammates looked at their captain strangely, not expecting him to have this side.
Lin Moyu asked, "Senior, how do I get to the central area of the upper space?"
Lin Moyu knew Ling Yizhan and the others had been following him the whole time.
His vast spiritual power made his senses very keen.
Unless they had invisibility skills, it wasn't easy to escape his detection.
As for Ling Yizhan and the others' thoughts, they were just a few typical ones.
Lin Moyu didn't mind, as long as they didn't provoke him, he wouldn't bother with them.
Faced with Lin Moyu's question, Ling Yizhan pointed in a direction and said, "That way."
"Thank you, senior!"
Lin Moyu was very polite. After saying this, he turned and left.
The two skeletons following him made clattering sounds as they walked. For some reason, this made Ling Yizhan feel a bit uneasy when he heard it.
After Lin Moyu left, Ling Yizhan couldn't help but ask himself, "Why am I afraid of him?"
He thought and thought, but couldn't find an answer.
Perhaps Lin Moyu's actions had subtly influenced him.
"Captain, if we don't want to take the Origin Rune, why are we still following him?"
A teammate didn't quite understand Ling Yizhan's actions.
Ling Yizhan thought for a moment and said, "I want to witness a piece of history!"
...
Lin Moyu continued advancing.
The light of the Origin Rune was like a beacon.
It attracted a lot of attention.
As he kept moving forward, this range kept expanding, attracting more and more gazes.
A team of dragon race career holders came over.
It was just a six-person team.
When they saw Lin Moyu was only level 30, bloodthirsty light appeared in their eyes.
The human race was their enemy, they would kill on sight normally.
Let alone now that Lin Moyu had the Origin Rune, they had even more reason to kill him.
They swooped down from the sky, not taking the mere level 30 Lin Moyu seriously at all.
When the curse descended, rows of bone spikes pierced through their bodies.
The skeleton warriors cut off their wings, and the skeleton mages' spells engulfed them.
In less than two minutes, the dragon team was completely wiped out.
The two minutes was the duration of the dragon knight's protection skill.
When the defense was broken, it meant death.
The skeletons efficiently stripped off their equipment.
Their movements were so practiced it was heartbreaking, showing Lin Moyu was clearly a habitual offender.
Moreover, Lin Moyu only summoned one undead army.
He didn't really exert himself.
For three consecutive days, team after team of dragon race, batch after batch of Abyss demons.
They all came quickly like flies smelling meat, and quickly came to die.
Without realizing it, Lin Moyu's military badge turned gold.
He had finally gone from lieutenant to colonel.
100,000 military merits was colonel rank.
Though a colonel, he had no stars yet.
To get the first star required 1 million military merits.
Military ranks went from soldier to star general.
At the colonel level, it took 1 million merits to raise one star.
Calculating based on high-level demons between levels 40-50,
It would take killing 1,000 to raise one star.
If killing lower level ones...
Accumulating like this repeatedly to reach divine general...
For ordinary career holders, it was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
So in the Divine Summer Empire, divine generals were extremely rare.
Forget divine generals, even high-star colonels were uncommon.
Now Lin Moyu's military merits had reached 103,000.
There was still a long way to go to one-star colonel.
Though he had no stars yet, the gold colonel rank already meant he was qualified to enter Fortresses 6, 7 and 8.
On the battlefields outside Fortresses 6, 7 and 8, there were more demons and it was easier to gain military merits.
Lin Moyu was getting closer and closer to the central area.
The number of monsters along the way kept increasing, and their levels were rapidly rising.
By the fourth day, the monsters' levels along the way had generally exceeded 45.
Level 50 monsters even started appearing.
According to Bai Yiyuan, in the central area, monsters above level 55 were everywhere.
These monsters were powerful and dangerous. Back then even Bai Yiyuan suffered quite a bit.
Lin Moyu kept this in mind and didn't let his guard down.
Ling Yizhan had followed Lin Moyu for three days, witnessing firsthand how Lin Moyu steamrolled through everything.
Whether Abyss demons or dragon race career teams, none lasted more than 5 minutes against Lin Moyu.
In those three days, some human career teams also came.
But upon seeing Lin Moyu was also human, they quickly retreated without any intention of competing.
The vast majority of humans were very united.
Otherwise they wouldn't have been able to hold out against the Abyss demons' attacks until now.
"Strange, why is no one coming today?"
For three consecutive days, people had been constantly coming.
But on the fourth day, no one came.
It was very strange.
Not only did Lin Moyu find it strange, Ling Yizhan and the others following behind also found it odd.
Half a day had passed, but no Abyss demons or dragon race career teams had come.
"Something's not right!"
Not only were there no people, there weren't even any monsters.
In the past two hours, not a single monster had been seen.
Things that deviate from the norm!
Lin Moyu immediately became alert.
Ling Yizhan was following from afar. When Lin Moyu became alert, he also realized something was off.
They were veterans of the Eternal Battlefield, having been here for nearly two years.
They knew many secrets of the Eternal Battlefield.
The Eternal Battlefield seemed to be constantly changing, with many changes occurring in recent decades.
People like Bai Yiyuan who hadn't come to the Eternal Battlefield in a long time wouldn't know.
The current situation reminded Ling Yizhan of a possibility.
"Retreat quickly!"
Ling Yizhan shouted loudly, leaping backwards.
His teammates also flew back with him, not daring to linger for a moment.
Someone seemed to have thought of something and said, "Captain, are you saying this is its territory?"
Ling Yizhan nodded, "Yes, that's the only possibility. Look at that tall mountain in the distance, doesn't it look like...!"
About a thousand meters away was a hundred-meter tall mountain.
Straight and towering.
But looking carefully, it seemed a bit abnormal.
The mountain was too smooth, unnaturally smooth.
"What about him?"
Ling Yizhan shouted loudly at Lin Moyu, "It's dangerous here, leave quickly!"
He had already run far, but saw Lin Moyu hadn't reacted.
Struggle flashed in Ling Yizhan's eyes. "You guys retreat first, I'll go tell him."
After saying this, he turned and ran back.
He quickly ran to Lin Moyu's side and said, "It's dangerous here, leave quickly!"
Dangerous?
Lin Moyu had already sensed something was off.
A rumbling sound arose, and the ground began shaking violently like an earthquake.
Ling Yizhan's face changed drastically, turning ashen. "Damn, it's too late!"
Footsteps sounded as Ling Yizhan's teammates all ran back.
Ling Yizhan said anxiously, "Why did you come back?"
They laughed and said, "Captain, we can't leave you alone!"
"That's right, we came out together so we should go back together."
"We're from the same academy, classmates and comrades. Of course we can't separate."
They spoke lightly, but you could see their gazes were solemn.
They were prepared for a fight to the death.
The hundred-meter tall mountain suddenly collapsed.
The huge boulders that broke off flew over like bullets and meteors.
Not only were they fast, but extremely powerful.
Two skeleton warriors were simultaneously sent flying. Lin Moyu instantly recalled them with a thought.
The boulders crashed into him but were blocked by the Bone Armor.
The Bone Armor creaked and groaned. The boulders' force was too great, abnormally powerful.
It didn't seem like the normal force carried by a collapsing mountain.
"Defend!"
Ling Yizhan suddenly shouted.
Skill: Group Protection!
The knight in the team released his skill, forming a barrier to resist the flying boulders.
The barrier was deformed by the boulders' impacts, seeming like it could collapse at any moment.
He gritted his teeth, forcefully maintaining the skill.
As the mountain crumbled, a huge monster appeared in Lin Moyu's vision.
Half of the monster's body was hidden underground, with half above ground.
Just the half above ground was 70-80 meters tall.
Its shape was like a centipede, with over a dozen pairs of legs waving in the air.
Earlier it had been hiding inside the mountain, which crumbled when it moved.
"Earth Dragon God!"
Ling Yizhan's face turned pale, his hand holding the sword trembling slightly.
