Chapter 231: He Is A Dragon In Sheep's Clothing
Chapter 231: He Is A Dragon In Sheep's Clothing
Being able to kill level 50 Abyssal Demons, Lin Moyu was naturally qualified to walk the Immemorial Battlefield.
In the upper layer of the Immemorial Battlefield, the monsters ranged between level 35 and level 65, and there were also monsters above level 65, albeit all bosses.
As long as they didn't recklessly provoke high-level monsters and exercised caution, level 50 Abyssal Demons, humans, and Dragonkind class users could survive in the upper layer.
However, being alone wasn't very safe, especially for humans. Level 50 humans couldn't fly yet. Unlike Abyssal Demons and Dragonkind, who could escape through the air if things turned sour.
Lin Moyu found another spot and lit a bonfire to grill meat again. His stomach was still empty and needed to be filled.
Ling Yizhan and company didn't get close, maintaining a distance of 1,000 meters as they followed him. The Primordial Rune was extremely precious and rare; they couldn't give up that easily.
This time Lin Moyu enjoyed a peaceful meal without any interruptions. Glancing at the dry rations in the storage space, he knew that he might not have another opportunity to leisurely grill meat anytime soon.
Just as he rose to his feet, the ground began to shake.
Standing atop a small hill, Lin Moyu saw a group of monsters charging toward him. The monsters were of all kinds of shapes and sizes.
Lin Moyu unleashed Detection a series of times—the monsters ranged from level 37 to level 45. There were hundreds of monsters, and they were clearly targeting him."Weird. Could the monsters in the Immemorial Battlefield be also interested in the Primordial Rune?" Lin Moyu frowned.
Bai Yiyuan hadn't mentioned such a thing.
As the crowd of monsters drew closer, Lin Moyu spotted an Abyssal Demon among them. This Abyssal Demon was somewhat peculiar.
Unlike the grotesque and ugly Abyssal Demons he had seen so far, this Abyssal Demon was beautiful, with exquisite facial features. In the Human World, she would be considered a rare beauty.
Her ears were slightly pointed, her skin was of a slightly darker tone, her figure was graceful and voluptuous, and she had a long tail swaying behind her, adding a touch of exotic charm to her.
When Lin Moyu saw her, she saw him too and released a coquettish laugh. The melodious and enchanting sound traveled far, stirring the hearts of all who heard it.
At this moment, the Bone Armor flickered. The coquettish laugh unexpectedly carried a hint of aggression.
Lin Moyu released Detection.
[Abyssal Succubus]
[Level: 50]
[Strength: 20,000]
[Agility: 20,000]
[Spirit: 50,000]
[Physique: 20,000]
[Skills: Charm, Spirit Blast]
[Traits: Dominate Creature—effective against creatures that are at least five levels below the host; ineffective against leaders and bosses]
Lin Moyu felt a chill in his heart. It was actually an Abyssal Succubus.
Just like when Councilor Xu Wei of the Shenxia Empire had fallen under the control of the Succubus Queen, these monsters seemed to be under her influence.
No wonder the highest level of the monsters was only level 45. After all, the Succubus could only control creatures that were at least five levels below her.
The coquettish laugh echoed again, closer this time, and more powerful. The laugh was targeted specifically at him.
The Succubus posed seductively in the air, facing Lin Moyu, while the Bone Armor gleamed brightly, blocking all attacks.
Lin Moyu remained calm and collected. He pointed with his finger, and while light burst forth.
Skill: Bone Fangs!
1,200 pale-white fangs hissed through the air. The power of Bone Fangs, like that of Soul Blaze, depended heavily on Lin Moyu's spirit force.
Lin Moyu's spirit force had skyrocketed from 7,000 to 22,000, which was a full three-fold increase. Consequently, the skill's power had surged significantly, greatly enhancing its speed and penetrating power.
In an instant, the fangs traversed 100 meters and reached the Abyssal Succubus. The Succubus let out a panicked scream and dodged swiftly.
Although she flew nimbly in the air, but the fangs were too fast and too many for her to evade them all. In the end, she was hit by three fangs, and thick, black blood spilled from her wounds.
Frightened, she flew high into the air, not daring to go down.
"I'll kill you!"
White light shone once more as Lin Moyu pointed at the Succubus. As if shooting at a bird, he unleashed Bone Fangs repeatedly, forcing the Succubus to fly erratically in the air.
Ling Yizhan and company, located 1,000 meters away, were stunned.
"Is that an Abyssal Succubus up there in the sky?"
"It is indeed a Succubus. But why does it look like he's just shooting at a bird?"
"What skill is that? It looks awesome."
"I've never seen it before. To scare a Succubus like this, it must be amazing."
"Succubi themselves aren't that strong. What makes them tricky to deal with are their charm as well as the large number of monsters they bring along."
The ground trembled beneath their feet, and their expressions changed drastically.
"Monsters are coming, and there are a lot of them."
"He's in big trouble now."
Monsters were indeed coming, charging up the hill where Lin Moyu was located.
At this time, a Lich General appeared beside him. One was more than enough.
Lin Moyu didn't intend to show his hand just yet. With more than nine days remaining, he decided to pace himself.
An undead legion appeared alongside the Lich General, and Skeletal Warriors rushed down the hill to meet the oncoming monsters, while the Skeletal Mages unleashed a barrage of concentrated fire.
At the same time, a red glow filled the sky.
Skill: Damage Curse!
A blood-red sword pattern appeared above each monster's head.
For Lin Moyu, their numbers were meaningless. After casting the curse, he continued to fire Bone Fangs at the Succubus.
The Abyssal Succubus unleashed a roar of frustration, helpless against Lin Moyu's attacks. Her offensive abilities were limited. Besides the Spirit Blast skill, her strongest asset was Charm.
However, Charm was ineffective against Lin Moyu, and Spirit Blast couldn't reach him from this distance. Fortunately, the minions under her control had arrived.
"Drop dead!"
The Abyssal Succubus cried out in anger, though her voice sounded like a tender and almost coquettish plea. Upon hearing it, one couldn't help but have a pang of sympathy.
Unfortunately for the Succubus, Lin Moyu had a heart of stone and remained unaffected.
The Skeletal Warriors clashed with the monsters at the very front. The Lich General struck the ground with its stave, and all the skeletons received status buffs.
The Skeletal Warriors unleashed their skill, while simultaneously, the Skeletal Mages cast their skill. The monsters at the very front were killed before they could even react.
Boom!
A blare erupted, and the ground shook violently.
The Abyssal Succubus, flying in the air, was startled. She looked down and was horrified.
Most of the monsters under her control were dead, with only a few left standing.
Then, two more explosions followed, killing the remaining monsters.
The Abyssal Succubus looked at Lin Moyu in horror, "Who on earth are you...?"
Lin Moyu smiled faintly, "A human class user."
Bone Fangs packed quite the punch, and after Lin Moyu's spirit force skyrocketed, the skill's power nearly doubled.
Lin Moyu had enough of "shooting birds." It was time to try out Soul Blaze.
When she saw Lin Moyu's expression, the Abyssal Succubus sensed something was wrong. She screamed and turned to flee.
"You're not getting away!"
Lin Moyu raised his hand, and a flame ignited in his palm. Subsequently, a tiny spark landed on the Abyssal Succubus's head, causing unbearable pain that reached her soul.
The Succubus screamed and nearly fell from the sky. Enduring the agonizing pain, she flew away at her fastest speed without looking back.
Lin Moyu's eyes revealed a shade of satisfaction. The effect was excellent.
He unleashed Soul Blaze once more, and the Abyssal Succubus screamed in pain again, visibly trembling. But she didn't dare to stop, aware that to stop would mean death, not just pain.
After flying for 1,000 meters, the Succubus left the range of Lin Moyu's skill and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"That guy is too scary!" The Succubus thought to herself, imprinting Lin Moyu's image in her mind.
He was clearly only level 30, yet he could kill her as easily as if she were a chicken. And the dozens of monsters she drummed up painstakingly were dealt with swiftly.
Those hundreds of skeletons, that terrifying group attack skill...
"I must report this to the Demon Queen."
"This human is too dangerous; we must exercise caution!"
The Succubus fled further and further away, eventually disappearing into the horizon.
Lin Moyu sighed. If the Succubus didn't come down, there wasn't much he could do about her. If only he could fly.
After retrieving his undead legion, Lin Moyu continued toward the center of the Immemorial Battlefield, accompanied by two skeletons.
He wasn't sure where the Primordial Space was located, but after 10 days, he would find out. At that time, the Primordial Rune would guide him.
His current objective was the Divine Selection Secret Realm in the central area, where he could attain divinity. As Bai Yiyuan had mentioned, obtaining divinity earlier would yield better results.
By this time, Lin Moyu's EXP had already reached 45%. If things continued in the same vein, he might level up by the time he reached the central area.
Additionally, he needed to search for the Divine Selection Secret Realm's location within the central area. He wasn't sure how much time this would take.
In just a few days on the Immemorial Battlefield, many changes had occurred. Initially, his objective was the Divine Selection Secret Realm and Demonic Dragon Hall dungeon. Now he had a new goal: the Primordial Space.
Under the scarlet light, Lin Moyu marched forward fearlessly.
Following behind Lin Moyu, Ling Yizhan and company arrived at the small hill where Lin Moyu had been previously. They saw the many monster corpses scattered at the foot of the hill.
"How did he do it?"
"I have no clue"
"Neither have I."
"This fight lasted five minutes at most."
"Party Leader, if it were us instead, do you think we could manage it?"
Ling Yizhan's lips twitched. "Not a chance."
Even if they could kill those monsters, it would require major effort, especially with the Succubus in the air. It would take at least half an hour.
Ling Yizhan was confident in his party's combat power, but he tempered his confidence with caution. On the Immemorial Battlefield, overconfidence was a death sentence.
Then someone asked, "Party Leader, we didn't see the Soul Devour Insect King in its territory earlier. Do you think..."
Ling Yizhan was suddenly taken aback, his expression changing rapidly. Now that he thought about it, it was indeed a possibility. If Lin Moyu really killed the Soul Devour Insect King, then his real strength...
"He is a dragon in sheep's clothing."
One could very well imagine what fate awaited those who chased after the Primordial Rune.
