 **Chapter 1356: Powerful Mountain Monster, Familiar Routine**

The illusion of the Starlight Lich had no effect on the mountain monster. Lin Moyu knew that the effectiveness of the Fire Lich would be greatly reduced as a result.

The Lich's attacks were very strong, among the top in the same realm. However, the Lich's defense was very weak, among the lowest in the same realm. This was a characteristic of the Lich, with clear advantages and disadvantages, depending on how you use it. Lin Moyu knew the strengths and weaknesses of the Lich clearly after summoning it.

Therefore, he always had the Starlight Lich assist, maximizing the advantages of the Fire Lich. But when facing the mountain monster, the illusion of the Starlight Lich failed, and the weakness of the Fire Lich was exposed.

The mountain monster began to charge towards Lin Moyu. It had no legs, but its speed was very fast, moving smoothly without any bumps, dragging a huge trench in the sand. This way of moving was very strange, as if someone was pushing the small mountain forward.

Lin Moyu pointed to the sky, and undead flames appeared out of thin air, burning fiercely. Lin Moyu's star-level spell: Summon Skeleton King!

A huge Skeleton Throne appeared in the sky, covering the sky and the sun. The Skeleton King stood up from the throne, its scarlet cloak fluttering in the strong wind.

The sword light burst out, and the Skeleton King slashed at the mountain monster with a fierce strike. The sword light exploded on the mountain monster, causing a landslide and flying rocks. The mountain monster's charge was immediately halted. A huge wound appeared on the mountain monster, with countless stones on its body shattered by the sword light.

A huge hole appeared on the mountain monster's waist, and the Skeleton King's strike caused significant damage. However, the mountain monster felt no pain. After being attacked, it became even more furious.

It let out a strange cry, and the laws on its body surged. The wound caused by the Skeleton King began to heal rapidly. Countless yellow sands flew in, filling the wound. The yellow sands then turned into stones, quickly merging with the mountain monster. In the blink of an eye, the wound was completely healed.

The fully healed mountain monster charged at Lin Moyu again, its momentum undiminished. The ten-thousand-meter-tall Skeleton King looked down at the mountain monster, its eyes glowing red. It raised its huge bone sword and slashed down like swatting a fly.

The bone sword left a trail in the air, shattering countless flying yellow sands. With a bang, the bone sword slashed the mountain monster again, creating another huge gash.

The mountain monster stopped again, shaking violently like a tumbler. The Skeleton King's bone sword received a huge counterforce, causing the Skeleton King to retreat continuously, leaving huge footprints on the yellow sand ground.

The Skeleton King was huge, but its size didn't mean it had great strength. In terms of strength, the mountain monster was not inferior to the Skeleton King. This strike made the mountain monster shift its attention to the Skeleton King. It ignored Lin Moyu and began to charge at the Skeleton King.

Yellow sands continuously filled the mountain monster's wound, healing it again. The Skeleton King stopped retreating and swung its long sword to fight the mountain monster. Although the mountain monster was not as big as the Skeleton King, its defense was too strong, and its recovery ability was astonishing. The damage caused by the Skeleton King was healed in an instant.

This was because the Skeleton King's attacks contained the Undying Law, which slowed the mountain monster's self-healing speed. Otherwise, the recovery speed would be even more astonishing, making it impossible to kill.

The mountain monster completely ignored its defense, swinging its fists to exchange blows with the Skeleton King, showing a desperate stance. The powerful earth and stone laws gave its fists extremely terrifying destructive power. Each punch could raise a sky full of yellow sand. Each exchange forced the Skeleton King to retreat uncontrollably.

Fortunately, the Legion Commanders were present, allowing the Skeleton King to recover quickly from the damage. In this regard, the two were not much different. Both sides' attacks were simple and brutal. Despite the huge difference in size, they fought evenly. Lin Moyu frowned slightly. At first glance, the Skeleton King didn't seem weaker than the mountain monster. But he knew that the Skeleton King was actually weaker.

The mountain monster's self-healing ability was too strong. The Skeleton King relied on the Legion Commanders to fight evenly. Without the Legion Commanders, the Skeleton King wouldn't last a few minutes. However, there was only one Skeleton King, while there were countless mountain monsters.

After watching for a while, Lin Moyu realized that without the power of a Minor God Sovereign, it was impossible to get through this area. Even if Jin Hui came here and used his trump card, it would be difficult to get through.

Lin Moyu pondered how to get through this area with the least cost. "Maybe I can use my speed advantage to force my way through."

As soon as this thought arose, he realized he had made a mistake. The existence of the central lake was known from the Stone Demons. Ordinary ninth-rank God King Stone Demons couldn't reach the central lake, so how did they know about it? It was obviously Jin Hui who told them, meaning Jin Hui had been there. Jin Hui had gotten through this area. The key question was how Jin Hui did it.

It couldn't have been by force. Even if the Stone Demons rolled themselves into balls, they would be blocked by the mountain monsters. The mountain monsters were different from the flying ants; they couldn't be rolled over.

"Either Jin Hui had a special method, or he found a road to the central lake."

"But the Death Knights have run far along the mountain monsters and haven't found a corresponding road."

"How did Jin Hui do it?"

The Human Tribe had left the Yellow Sand Desert for too long and knew too little about it. Lin Moyu was sure there was a way to get through this area, but he didn't know how. Without any clues, Lin Moyu extinguished his thought.

The time was too short to find the right way. Now, there were only two options: either elevate his strength to the Minor God Sovereign realm and force his way through, or lure the mountain monsters away and create a path.

He was very skilled at luring monsters, so it wasn't a problem. Now that he was at the ninth rank of the True God realm, one step further would be the God King realm. If he used his original spells to elevate his realm and force his way through, he would absorb a lot of soul power. It might even push him directly to the God King realm.

This wasn't what he wanted. He hadn't fully comprehended the laws of the True God realm and needed time to fill in the gaps and solidify his foundation. After weighing the pros and cons, Lin Moyu decided to use the second method.

He continued to use the Death Knights. In the Yellow Sand Desert, the Death Knights were the fastest and could maximize their advantage. A team of hundreds of Death Knights charged at the mountain monsters. The mountain monsters had no interest in undead creatures without life force and ignored them.

But the Death Knights wouldn't ignore them. The Death Knights drew their long swords and launched attacks filled with the power of death. The Death Knights' attacks weren't strong, only leaving slight marks on the mountain monsters, not even scratches. But the attacks contained the power of death from the Undying Law.

The power of death corroded the mountain monsters' bodies, triggering their counterattacks. The mountain monsters awakened, their laws surging, and giant fists grew from their waists, punching at the Death Knights. The Death Knights had already moved away after attacking, dodging the mountain monsters' attacks.

The mountain monsters began to move, chasing the Death Knights. Their speed was very fast, and the Death Knights had to go all out to keep up.
