**Chapter 1198: Start Looking for People, Whether Dead or Alive**

The attacks of the Gold-Eating Beasts contained extremely strong impact force. Lin

Within the blue attack beams, there were also mottled light spots.

Previously, in the twisted space of the passage, they couldn't see clearly.

Now, it was clear that the blue color was the color of refined gold, and the mottled light spots were the color of the associated mineral of refined gold.

A color that was neither gold nor silver, neither metal nor non-metal.

The associated mineral of refined gold is called gold-silver stone, which contains toxins and continuously releases them.

Gold-Eating Beasts are not afraid of this toxin. When they eat refined gold, they also consume the gold-silver stone. Consequently, their attacks also contain this toxin, which is even more potent than the gold-silver stone itself. Before the advent of the Zhenjin Pill, the attacks of the Gold-Eating Beasts were deadly. Even if one could block the attack, the pervasive toxin was a headache for cultivators.

After the Zhenjin Pill appeared, the threat of the toxin almost disappeared, and one only needed to deal with the attacks of the Gold-Eating Beasts.

Meng Gang lightly shouted, and his law domain expanded, enveloping Yuzhu and the other two.

Within the law domain, countless law swords appeared, forming a sword array.

His soul leaped out from above his head, holding a shield in its hand. The shield turned into a stream of light and merged into the law domain, causing a shield to appear within the law domain.

The combination of sword and shield greatly enhanced the defense of the law domain.

Lin Moyu immediately saw that the shield in Meng Gang's soul's hand came from the military.

He was already a God King, and his soul manifestation had long surpassed the True God realm, beginning to merge with the law domain.

No longer simply using laws as armor, the soul could now fight within the law domain.

If he didn't have to protect Yuzhu and the others, Meng Gang would probably have already charged into battle with his law domain.

In the blue light, the Gold-Eating Beasts were faintly visible.

Their figures were everywhere, and their attacks were dense.

The Skeleton God Generals protecting Meng Gang and the others simultaneously acted, ignoring the attacks of the Gold-Eating Beasts and swinging their swords.

The Gold-Eating Beasts could hide in the blue light, making it difficult to detect them with the naked eye or the soul.

But to the undead eyes of the Skeleton God Generals, the Gold-Eating Beasts were too obvious, with nowhere to hide.

Sword energy tore through the starry sky, and one Gold-Eating Beast after another was devoured by the sword energy.

Lin Moyu's heart moved, and more Skeleton God Generals appeared around him.

The attacks falling on him shattered the skeletal armor.

The skeletal armor triggered spell linkage, continuously counterattacking.

The attacking Gold-Eating Beasts were not elite members or captains; their levels were between True God Eighth Rank and Ninth Rank.

For Meng Gang, although the number was large, the pressure was much less than the previous round.

The sword and shield-enhanced law domain easily blocked the attacks.

White light exploded and flickered in the starry sky, with skeletal spears and fangs flashing.

The Gold-Eating Beasts at the Eighth Rank were instantly killed by the spell linkage counterattacks.

The Ninth Rank Gold-Eating Beasts were also severely injured on the spot.

After the Gold-Eating Beasts died, their bodies would dissipate, turning into highly pure refined gold.

They had no blood, and once severely injured, they only needed to eat some refined gold to recover.

Similarly, eating the refined gold formed from the death of their companions could also restore them.

Lin Moyu saw a Gold-Eating Beast eat the refined gold formed from the death of its companion and quickly recover.

Lin Moyu released a total of a hundred Skeleton God Generals. The Skeleton God Generals moved swiftly, killing the Gold-Eating Beasts with no resistance.

In the blink of an eye, more than five hundred Gold-Eating Beasts were slain.

At this moment, the Gold-Eating Beasts suddenly seemed to receive some command and retreated like a tide.

The Gold-Eating Beasts moved very quickly and disappeared in an instant.

Meng Gang said in a low voice, "The Gold-Eating Beasts can resonate with refined gold and gold-silver stone. Here, their speed is very fast, making them hard to chase."

Lin Moyu nodded, "According to your knowledge, do the Gold-Eating Beasts have a habit of fleeing when they can't win?" Meng Gang thought for a moment and shook his head slightly.

Yuzhu also shook her head, "According to the records in the family archives, encountering Gold-Eating Beasts usually results in two outcomes: either killing them or being killed by them."

Running away is not an option; the Gold-Eating Beasts are too fast.

Either kill or be killed.

This also indicates that the Gold-Eating Beasts do not flee. After all, they are mindless beasts, unaware of fear, so they wouldn't be afraid.

Without fear, there is no possibility of fleeing.

This scene further confirmed Lin Moyu's previous suspicion that an intelligent member had indeed emerged within the Gold-Eating Beasts.

Moreover, it could command the entire group, likely a Gold-Eating Beast King.

The Gold-Eating Beasts have existed for countless years, so why has intelligence emerged now?

Yuzhu also seemed to think of this, frowning.

If there was a commander, the combat power of the Gold-Eating Beasts would increase by several levels, greatly increasing their danger.

However, Lin Moyu suddenly realized another possibility, "Could it be that this intelligent Gold-Eating Beast has always existed?"

"It just hadn't awakened before. After all, most people who encountered the Gold-Eating Beasts were killed."

"Those who escaped by chance or killed the Gold-Eating Beasts probably didn't notice this."

This possibility is not out of the question, but thinking too much now is useless; they can only continue forward.

Lin Moyu looked at Meng Gang, "Activate the search array plate."

Meng Gang nodded, took out the search array plate, and activated it.

The search array plate immediately emitted a bright light, and after a few seconds, several arrows appeared outside the array plate.

The arrows looked familiar, similar to the ones on the shell given by Yu Qingrou, indicating the direction of the flashing star fire.

There were a total of four arrows, some long and some short.

The search array plate can detect battlefield tokens within tens of millions of kilometers, and battlefield tokens correspond to human cultivators. Meng Gang explained, "The longer arrows indicate a greater distance." Lin Moyu nodded, "Let's start with the closest one." The group immediately flew towards the nearest direction.

Human cultivators, as long as they are active in the battlefield area, will carry battlefield tokens.

Once they die, the battlefield tokens will simultaneously become invalid and cannot be found by ordinary search array plates.

So they don't have to worry about finding battlefield tokens but not finding people.

As long as the search array plate points in a direction, there must be a cultivator, and they must be alive.

After flying a million kilometers, they saw a shadow, floating in the blue light like waves.

"Found it!"

Yuzhu's face showed a look of joy.

Lin Moyu frowned slightly, sensing the life force on the figure.

It looked like he was already dead, but the search array plate pointed to him, indicating he should be alive.

Meng Gang also frowned, "He seems to be dead."

However, Meng Gang was not very sure.

Lin Moyu switched to the undead perspective and finally saw that the other party seemed dead, but his soul still existed.

As long as the soul is still there, it doesn't mean death.

But this soul was also in a dormant state, and its aura was somewhat strange.

Suddenly, Lin Moyu shouted, "Defense!"

Meng Gang instinctively activated his law domain, and his soul leaped out simultaneously.

At this moment, a dark blue attack shot like an arrow, easily piercing his law domain and directly targeting his soul.

It was as if the attacker had been waiting for Meng Gang's soul to appear. Meng Gang's face changed dramatically, and it was too late to dodge!
