Catastrophic necromancer

**Chapter 1355: The Secret at the Bottom of Yellow Sand Lake**

The lake was very deep, and as the descent continued, the number of monsters in sight increased, creating a spectacular scene. Lin Moyu felt that this Yellow Sand Lake was like a massive arsenal. The monsters inside were like weapons, capable of attacking autonomously and possessing formidable combat power. They could also be used as puppets for the Human Tribe. If deployed on the battlefield, the effect would be terrifying.

“Besides me, no one else should have entered the lake bottom.”

With so many monsters present, Lin Moyu believed that even Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva couldn’t come down here. Therefore, if there were any secrets in Yellow Sand Lake, even Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva wouldn’t know.

As he continued to descend, the lake gradually became murky, with more yellow sand appearing in the water, and the presence of laws became more intense. Each grain of yellow sand contained extremely strong laws, much more concentrated than those on the surface. Without needing monster crystal cores, just these grains of yellow sand were the best materials for comprehending earth and stone laws.

Finally, he reached the lake bottom, where the presence of laws became even more intense and strong, and the density of monsters increased significantly. Lin Moyu controlled the Skeleton God Warrior to move towards the center of the lake bottom. He had to carefully avoid these fish-bodied, dog-headed monsters, which slowed his progress considerably. After cautiously moving for over an hour, he finally reached the center of the lake bottom. What he saw there was astonishing.

At the center of the lake bottom, a formation was slowly operating. Streams of water carrying yellow sand converged at the center of the formation. The formation continuously refined the yellow sand, gradually merging it together, eventually forming a crystal core of a ninth-rank God King.

More yellow sand automatically gathered, and the laws within the sand coalesced, gradually forming a dog head. After the dog head, the fish body slowly appeared, eventually becoming a fish-bodied, dog-headed monster. The monster opened its eyes, silently left, and joined the group of monsters in the lake, resuming its slumber.

After creating a monster, the formation also fell into slumber, seemingly accumulating power for the next creation. Lin Moyu watched the entire process, momentarily at a loss for words. After thinking for a long time, he could only describe it as “astonishing.”

The scene before him was too magical; these monsters were created in such a manner. The entire process required no human intervention, and within an hour, a ninth-rank God King monster was created. Lin Moyu felt as if he had discovered an incredible secret, learning the origin of the monsters in the Yellow Sand Desert. Perhaps there were many similar formations in various corners of the Yellow Sand Desert, continuously creating monsters. However, what puzzled Lin Moyu was the purpose behind creating so many monsters in the Yellow Sand Desert.

Controlling the Skeleton God Warrior, he explored the lake bottom and discovered a passage. This passage seemed to be one-way, as the Skeleton God Warrior couldn’t enter despite several attempts. Lin Moyu speculated that this passage might be the waterway of the lake, possibly connecting to other Yellow Sand Lakes, including the central lake.

After retrieving the Skeleton God Warrior, Lin Moyu calculated the time and found that a day had passed, leaving four days until the agreed meeting with Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva. “It’s time to set off.”

Lin Moyu didn’t waste any more time and headed towards the central lake. Transforming into light, he moved at the fastest speed the Yellow Sand Desert could accommodate. Along the way, he occasionally encountered attacks from flying ants, but even so, he covered most of the distance within a day. At this moment, he was still 400 million kilometers away from the central lake.

As he got closer to the central lake, Lin Moyu sensed changes in the laws. The laws of the earth were decreasing, while the laws of earth and stone were increasing. These two types of laws constituted the main body of the Yellow Sand Desert, and changes in their proportions would trigger other reactions. There were no earth laws in Yellow Sand Lake, only earth and stone laws. The monsters inside were fish-bodied, dog-headed creatures, in stark contrast to the flying ants in the Yellow Sand Desert.

The changes in the laws made Lin Moyu realize that he might encounter new monsters, likely ninth-rank God King monsters, which wouldn’t be easy to bypass. Otherwise, Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva wouldn’t have set a five-day timeframe. The Death Knights went ahead, using Undead Vision to scout. As long as the monsters weren’t like the flying ants, Undead Vision could detect them early.

After advancing another ten million kilometers, the earth laws became increasingly weak, with 90% of the laws now being earth and stone laws. Finally, a bright and powerful soul fire appeared in Undead Vision. Soon after, more soul fires appeared, densely packed, stretching into the distance. Small hills, each a hundred meters high, dotted the landscape, forming a mountain range. At the center of each small hill, a soul fire burned brightly.

These hundred-meter-tall hills were monsters, blocking Lin Moyu’s path. The Death Knights, advancing from different directions, continuously sent back information. No matter which direction they took, they couldn’t bypass these mountain monsters to reach the central lake. In the Yellow Sand Desert, flying was impossible; the only option was to fight through.

Lin Moyu finally understood why Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva had set a five-day timeframe, likely because of these mountain monsters. Judging by the strength of their soul fires, these mountain monsters were all ninth-rank God King monsters. Covered in earth and stone laws, their defense wouldn’t be inferior to Stone Demons of the same level. Due to their size, their strength might even surpass Stone Demons of the same level. High defense and strong attacks made them difficult to deal with.

“Let’s test them first.”

With a thought, the Starlight Lich and Fire Lich appeared beside him. The Starlight Lich summoned the projection of the Law Star River, merging into it and enveloping a mountain monster. Strangely, the mountain monster remained motionless, as if the illusion had no effect on it. The next second, the Fire Lich summoned the Fire Law Star River, pouring flames down and igniting the mountain monster.

This time, the mountain monster reacted, trembling all over. A giant eye appeared in the middle of the mountain, covered in earth and stone laws, emitting a hazy light. Then, a pair of giant hands made entirely of earth and stone grew from its sides. The giant hands waved in the air, emitting powerful earth and stone laws. The earth and stone laws swept over its body like a storm, extinguishing the flames. Then, the earth and stone laws formed a giant hand, slamming down on the projection of the Law Star River.

Both the Fire Law Star River and the Starlight Law Star River projections were shaken by the impact. Lin Moyu summoned a large number of Legion Commanders to start healing. Flames poured down again, and starlight flickered, continuing to create illusions. The mountain monster waved its giant hands, slamming them down on the Law Star River projections. Despite its massive size, its movements were extremely fast. It struck dozens of times in a second, shattering the two Law Star River projections.

The Fire Lich and Starlight Lich fell from the shattered Law Star River projections and quickly returned. They were injured, but with the Legion Commanders present, they would soon recover. Lin Moyu frowned slightly; this mountain monster was not easy to deal with.
