Catastrophic necromancer

**Chapter 1207: Cages Hanging in the Starry Sky**

The bismuth gold essence danced like a beautiful dancer, carrying a purple glow as it floated in the small cave. Lin

The records only mentioned the bismuth gold essence’s miraculous effect on enhancing soul defense, but they did not describe its specific appearance.

Now Lin Moyu knew that the bismuth gold essence existed in the form of fine threads.

Unfortunately, there wasn’t much bismuth gold essence left here, only less than a hundred strands. Most of it had probably been eaten by the Gold-Eating Beasts.

Lin Moyu thought of the palm-sized Gold-Eating Beast soul and felt that it must have eaten a lot of the bismuth gold essence.

“Could the Gold-Eating Beasts’ intelligence be related to the bismuth gold essence?”

In the great world, although there are countless treasures, those that can directly affect the soul are not many. Bismuth gold essence is one of them, but it only enhances soul defense.

Lin Moyu thought of a possibility and muttered to himself, “What if the records are incomplete? What if the bismuth gold essence can help unlock intelligence?”

“For cultivators like us, who already possess intelligence, even if the bismuth gold essence has the ability to unlock intelligence, it wouldn’t be noticed.”

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.

With a wave of his hand, all the less than a hundred strands of bismuth gold essence in the cave were absorbed into his palm.

Even a small amount is still valuable, and Lin Moyu wouldn’t waste it.

He turned and left the cave, leaping onto the back of the Golden Eagle God King, and continued flying towards the central area.

At the speed of the Golden Eagle God King, it would take a few more days to reach the true center.

It was said that there was an enormous bismuth gold star there, but the records did not describe its exact size. Some people had seen it from a distance, and the enormous bismuth gold star was accompanied by terrifying poison.

Even the Zhenjin Pill couldn’t neutralize the poison, and a third-rank God King couldn’t last long near it.

The strongest beings here were only third-rank God Kings.

So it became a mysterious area.

Half a day later, at the periphery of the bismuth gold area, where the poison explosion occurred, a human warship arrived from afar and stopped in the starry sky.

After a few minutes, the warship bypassed the area covered by the poison explosion and flew in from the other side.

Half a day later, the demon warships also arrived.

They too bypassed the area covered by the poison explosion, choosing a different direction from the humans to enter.

Two days later, a bright light appeared in their sight.

The light shone like a star, emitting a blue glow.

When Lin Moyu first saw it, he almost mistook it for the blue flame star he had seen before.

“It’s the central bismuth gold star, as big as a star, called the Bismuth Gold Source Star.”

The Bismuth Gold Source Star was named by the humans. Some speculated that the bismuth gold in this area came from it. Even from tens of billions of kilometers away, its presence was obvious, visible to the naked eye. The scale of the Bismuth Gold Source Star was likely unimaginably large.

As they saw the Bismuth Gold Source Star, the search array plate, which had been inactive for days, suddenly burst into brilliant light. Arrows appeared one after another, and in an instant, the number of arrows exceeded a hundred.

More arrows appeared, densely packed, layered upon each other. The number of arrows reached over a thousand, all pointing in almost the same direction.

Each arrow represented a survivor, and over a thousand arrows meant over a thousand survivors.

“I didn’t expect so many people to be alive.”

“Are they resisting or captured?”

“Based on the order of the arrows’ appearance, they are not together but scattered, with some distance between them.”

“Separated and imprisoned? What’s the purpose?”

Lin Moyu analyzed the frequency of the arrows’ appearance.

The speed of the Golden Eagle God King was too fast, nearly 100,000 kilometers per second.

Even if the appearance interval was only 0.01 seconds, it still represented a significant distance.

From the first to the last arrow, it took less than 2 seconds.

This meant that the closest and farthest arrows were about 200,000 kilometers apart.

The situation seemed to be getting strange.

They were now approaching the true center of Area 6-99, where the poison from the gold-silver stones was even more intense. Without the Zhenjin Pill or similar protective measures, even a God King couldn’t survive long.

The Golden Eagle God King’s body began to emit green smoke again, and the golden glow covering its body was rapidly fading.

The Golden Eagle God King took out another feather to activate, reapplying the golden glow to resist the poison.

Lin Moyu felt his skin heating up, as if being roasted by fire. Even he felt this way, indicating that the poison here was indeed far more intense than before.

“Given the poison here, the human cultivators shouldn’t be able to survive long.”

“But they were captured by the Gold-Eating Beasts and have been alive for a while.”

“Things are getting stranger.”

“What exactly are the Gold-Eating Beasts trying to do?”

Various questions arose in his mind. In less than two minutes, Lin Moyu finally saw the people indicated by the search array plate.

In the starry sky, clusters of deep blue light, like cages, imprisoned cultivators of various races.

These cultivators were still alive but had clearly lost consciousness.

The starry sky was filled with cages, numbering in the tens of thousands.

The cages were made of bismuth gold, and the blue light not only trapped the cultivators but also blocked the poison, preventing them from being poisoned to death.

“Bismuth gold itself can block poison?”

Lin Moyu was slightly surprised. Gold-silver stone is the accompanying mineral of bismuth gold, but he had never heard that bismuth gold could block the poison of gold-silver stone.

But the situation in front of him told Lin Moyu that it was indeed possible.

Clearly, the Gold-Eating Beasts’ understanding of bismuth gold far exceeded that of humans.

Lin Moyu’s gaze shifted, and he suddenly noticed something unusual.

These bismuth gold cages were not purely made of bismuth gold.

Inside them, there was a purple light flowing, which was the light of the bismuth gold essence.

He immediately understood that the bismuth gold essence was likely responsible for blocking the poison.

The starry sky was filled with tens of thousands of bismuth gold cages, large and small, imprisoning cultivators of various races.

These cultivators had lost consciousness and were in a coma.

Lin Moyu did not approach rashly but observed from a distance for a while.

The Gold-Eating Beasts must have a purpose for imprisoning them.

Visually, there seemed to be no problem, so Lin Moyu switched to the undead vision to observe.

In the undead vision, the world turned gray and white, with colors becoming dull and lifeless. Only the soul flames continued to flicker steadily.

“Soul flames…”

Lin Moyu saw that within the soul flames, there was a purple light.

That was the light of the bismuth gold essence.

The bismuth gold essence had been integrated into their souls. All the souls had this purple light.

It was clear that the bismuth gold essence was not absorbed by them voluntarily but was forcibly inserted by the Gold-Eating Beasts.

Some souls had mostly turned purple, while others had only a small part that was purple.

“What are the Gold-Eating Beasts trying to do?”

As Lin Moyu pondered, he suddenly saw one of the soul flames completely turn purple.

Then he saw the soul flame transform into the shape of a Gold-Eating Beast, and a palm-sized Gold-Eating Beast soul jumped out of the original owner’s body.
