**Chapter 1344: Group Monsters in the Deeper Regions**
The area radiated by the 8th fireball is the territory of the Demon Tribe. Lin...
A thirty-meter-tall Stone Demon sat in the yellow sand, different from other Stone Demons. The bodies of other Stone Demons were pitch black, and the higher their cultivation, the deeper the black. Lin...
A ninth-rank God King Stone Demon had a body as black as ink. Wen...
But his body, besides being black, also had a golden glow. The golden glow was like stars in the great world, adorning his body, making him look like a deity. Not only did his body have a golden glow, but even his name was Jin Hui (Golden Glow). He asked in a deep voice, "Any news?"
Beside him was another Stone Demon.
A twenty-meter-tall Stone Demon, exuding the aura of a ninth-rank God King, but in front of Jin Hui, he seemed so small.
"No news. According to your instructions, we also set up traps at the farthest oasis in the 9th region but found no trace of Lin Moyu."
Jin Hui's voice was hoarse and unpleasant, "Could it be that he didn't go there?"
They had set up several traps.
From the 5th, 6th, and 7th middle regions to the deeper regions, there were a total of six oases and six passages.
One passage belonged to the Sand Tribe and Earth Monsters, which they couldn't interfere with.
Another had Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva overseeing it, which they also couldn't touch.
They had set up traps in the remaining four passages.
No matter where Lin Moyu entered, they could teleport there immediately to intercept him.
In the eyes of many Stone Demons, this setup was flawless.
But Jin Hui knew that although he was smart, smarter than most Stone Demons, his intelligence was only average.
This setup might work against ordinary people, but not necessarily against Lin Moyu.
Jin Hui muttered to himself, "The Sand Tribe and Earth Monsters' passage shouldn't allow him through. These two tribes are very xenophobic and hard to negotiate with."
"At Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva's place, there are many scattered cultivators from various races, some of whom have grudges against the Human Tribe."
"If he goes through that passage, he might be hunted by other races and may not survive."
"Where did he go?"
After thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure it out and said in a deep voice, "Keep guarding here and watch the traps. I'll go see Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva."
Jin Hui decided to visit Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva.
In the sandstorm, clusters of soul fire lit up.
Unlike the previous two cross-region encounters, the fireball in the sky did not drop flaming meteors.
Perhaps it thought that those who could come here would no longer fear flaming meteors.
Through Undead Vision, Lin Moyu clearly saw these soul fires.
The soul fires were very powerful, seemingly beyond the eighth rank of the God King but not quite at the ninth rank.
The only problem was the sheer number of soul fires.
There were thousands of soul fires in the sandstorm.
Each soul fire represented a monster.
Thousands of soul fires meant thousands of monsters.
Each one was stronger than an eighth-rank God King, infinitely close to the ninth rank.
Moreover, among the many soul fires, one had reached the ninth rank of the God King, likely the leader of these monsters.
"Group monsters?"
"But this number is a bit too much."
Lin Moyu thought of the group monsters commonly seen in his small world.
A group monster is a leader with a bunch of minions forming a monster group.
Normally, a leader has 5 or 6 minions, at most dozens.
He had never seen one with a thousand minions.
These monsters quickly approached Lin Moyu after appearing.
A buzzing sound came to his ears, like countless wing cases vibrating.
The sandstorm was too intense. Although Undead Vision could clearly see the soul fires and know the monsters' positions, he couldn't see their true forms.
The monsters got closer, surrounding him.
Lin Moyu's heart moved, and five Legion Commanders appeared beside him.
Along with the five Legion Commanders, the Bone Dragon Legion also appeared.
With Lin Moyu's advancement to the ninth rank of the True God realm, the Bone Dragons, enhanced by commanding spells, had individual combat power reaching the fourth rank of the God King realm.
Although far inferior to the monsters in the sandstorm, the Bone Dragons' massive bodies could at least form a meat shield to block the monsters.
Lin Moyu wanted to use the Bone Dragons to see what kind of monsters they were before deciding on a battle strategy.
He felt that with such a large number of monsters, an ordinary ninth-rank God King would only face death.
The Bone Dragons roared and charged out, colliding with the monsters.
Lin Moyu connected to the Bone Dragons' vision and finally saw the monsters' true forms at the moment of collision.
They were giant flying ants.
Each flying ant was over five meters long, with sharp mandibles and two pairs of thin wing cases on their backs, vibrating violently.
Their combat power was strong, easily biting through the Bone Dragons' bones. Their legs were extremely sharp, almost instantly shattering the Bone Dragons upon contact.
What shocked Lin Moyu the most was that they could fly.
Not very high, but they were indeed flying.
It was the first time he had seen flying monsters in the Yellow Earth Desert.
The no-fly rule here seemed to give these flying ants an exception, granting them special privileges.
At this moment, the Bone Dragons' massive bodies showed their advantage. Although their bodies were torn apart, they didn't die immediately.
This gave Lin Moyu enough time to observe the monsters.
Lin Moyu controlled the Bone Dragons to charge at the flying ants' leader.
The leader was twice the size of an ordinary flying ant, over ten meters long.
It had three pairs of wing cases instead of two, a total of six wings.
As the Bone Dragon was about to collide with it, it sprayed a pale yellow gas.
The gas merged with the yellow sand, causing the sand to roll back, turning each grain of sand into a deadly weapon, shredding the Bone Dragon to pieces.
"Indeed very powerful."
"It would take at least five ninth-rank God Kings to get through here."
Everyone must face such a scene when entering the deeper regions for the first time.
A single person definitely couldn't get through, but a group could.
Lin Moyu now knew the monsters' specifics and had a strategy in mind.
These flying ants were yellow and blended with the sandstorm.
The sandstorm affected him but not the flying ants.
The best way was to break through quickly and leave the sandstorm.
Perhaps other God Kings did just that. Once out of the sandstorm, the flying ants, despite their numbers, wouldn't be a big deal.
But Lin Moyu didn't want to choose that way. His previous actions were just to identify the monsters and their laws.
The flying ants had strong earth laws, giving them powerful defense.
But they had no fire laws.
Without fire laws, it meant fire laws could harm them.
Two Liches appeared simultaneously.
Two Law Star River projections shone brightly in the sandstorm.
The Starlight Lich merged into the Law Star River, which descended to envelop the flying ants' leader.
The leader froze, and in the next second, all the flying ants flew in another direction, ignoring Lin Moyu.
The illusion made the leader lose the ability to locate the enemy. In the illusion, the enemy was in another place.
It summoned all its minions to fly to another location.
Thousands of giant flying ants vibrated their wing cases, buzzing as they followed the leader's orders, surrounding the nonexistent enemy.
They formed a huge encirclement.
Then the Fire Lich merged into the Law Star River, and countless flames poured down.
