**Chapter 1191: Military Rank Promotion Task**

Upon seeing the message, Lin Moyu was slightly taken aback. It wasn't an ordinary message; it required his consciousness to fully enter the Human Emperor Network.

Lin Moyu left the task counter, making way for those who came after him. He found a slightly secluded spot, leaned against the wall, and then connected his consciousness to the Human Emperor Network.

The scene before his eyes gradually became illusory, with the task center rippling like water waves before finally disappearing. It was replaced by a starry sky. His consciousness entered the Human Emperor Network, and he saw the scene constructed by it.

A middle-aged man in military uniform, with a stern expression, walked out from the starry sky. After a few steps, he arrived in front of Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu saw the man and slowly saluted, "Lin Moyu greets the Corps Commander."

Ke Yuanjun maintained his usual seriousness, "I am here to issue your promotion task."

Lin Moyu was slightly surprised, "Does the promotion task require your personal issuance?"

Ke Yuanjun shook his head, "Others don't need it, but you are different."

Different? How so?

Lin Moyu couldn't figure it out for a moment. However, Ke Yuanjun had already started talking about the task content, and Lin Moyu immediately perked up his ears to listen.

"Fortress No. 6, Area No. 99, produces bismuth gold stones, and many of our cultivators are active there."

"Recently, we received news that a group of Gold-Eating Beasts has emerged there, killing many of our cultivators."

"Your task is to lead a small team to rescue the human cultivators in that area."

"The team, including you, consists of five people. The personnel have already been arranged, and you are the captain."

After Ke Yuanjun finished explaining the task, he said in a deep voice, "That's the task content. If you have any questions, you can ask now."

The task seemed simple, just a rescue mission. But since it required Ke Yuanjun to personally announce it, it couldn't be that simple.

Lin Moyu asked, "What is the number and level of the Gold-Eating Beasts, and do you have their specific locations?"

Based on his understanding of the battlefield, each fortress-controlled starry sky is called a war zone. Each war zone is divided into 100 areas. As Ke Yuanjun mentioned, it was Fortress No. 6, Area No. 99, which is actually War Zone 6, Area 99, numbered 6-99.

The 6-99 area is much smaller than the 5-38 area Lin Moyu had been to. It is a spherical area with a diameter of only 0.01 light-years, roughly 100 billion kilometers. The bismuth gold mining area has a diameter of only about 60 billion kilometers, with the rest being vast starry sky.

Although the diameter is only 0.01 light-years, it is still a huge area for True God realm cultivators. Searching such a large area with just a five-person team is less reliable than finding a needle in a haystack.

However, since the task was issued, Lin Moyu believed there must be a method; otherwise, the task would be pointless.

Ke Yuanjun said in a deep voice, "The number of Gold-Eating Beasts is unknown, but they are group starry sky beasts, usually numbering between 5 and 10."

"Based on our understanding of the Gold-Eating Beasts, their ordinary strength ranges from True God Eighth Rank to True God Peak. Among them, elite members can reach God King First Rank. For every 1,000 Gold-Eating Beasts, there will be a captain with strength between God King Second Rank and Third Rank."

"If the number of Gold-Eating Beasts reaches ten thousand, a Beast King will emerge with strength around God King Fourth Rank."

Lin Moyu estimated that Fortress No. 6 also belonged to the True God realm activity area. Even if there were God King realm cultivators, they wouldn't be many, and their strength would generally be around God King First Rank. Such strength would almost have no chance of survival if they encountered a group of Gold-Eating Beasts.

Lin Moyu pondered for a moment and then said, "Please continue."

Ke Yuanjun nodded slightly, "The 6-99 area is somewhat special. Although it is also a spherical area, it has entrances and exits."

At this moment, a sphere appeared before Lin Moyu's eyes. The sphere had hundreds of sharp protrusions, making it look like a curled-up hedgehog.

The Human Emperor Network presented the appearance of the 6-99 area.

Ke Yuanjun said, "These spikes are the passages in and out of Area 99. These passages open and close periodically, and you can only pass through when they are open."

"These passages do not have fixed positions; they constantly change along the boundary of the area."

"Sometimes, even if a passage appears, it may not be passable."

"Moreover, the passages have level restrictions. If your cultivation exceeds God King Third Rank, the passage will collapse, leading to endless void."

Then, six passages lit up, two of which were golden, and the other four were crimson.

Ke Yuanjun continued, "These two golden passages are the ones we frequently use. Through years of exploration, we have found that some passages are relatively stable."

"The other four crimson passages are frequently used by other races."

"Now that the Gold-Eating Beasts have appeared, they have guarded these two passages and are hunting the people in the area."

Ke Yuanjun said a lot, but it wasn't enough. Lin Moyu still had many questions, "The number of Gold-Eating Beasts is not large, and the area is so vast. How are they conducting the hunt?"

Ke Yuanjun said, "Gold-Eating Beasts are metal-type starry sky beasts. They can resonate with the bismuth gold in that starry sky. Through resonance, they can find the living beings hidden within."

"Of course, they are not only hunting our human race; other races are also their targets."

Lin Moyu continued to ask, "What are the reactions of other races?"

Ke Yuanjun was not impatient and truthfully told Lin Moyu the current situation, "Other races have already sent corresponding teams, so this time you will not only face the Gold-Eating Beasts but also the enemy teams."

"As expected. So how do I find people in such a vast starry sky? I can't just rely on my eyes, can I?"

Lin Moyu smiled, as if he had already guessed part of Ke Yuanjun's words.

Indeed, Lin Moyu had already analyzed a lot of information from the previous conversation.

Gold-Eating Beasts are starry sky beasts and won't only target humans. It can be said that all living beings other than themselves are their targets.

Ke Yuanjun said, "Later, go find Meng Gang. He will tell you how to find people."

"Alright, I have more questions."

"Go ahead."

"Am I only responsible for rescuing people? Can I kill the Gold-Eating Beasts? Also, for such a big matter, there should be more than one team going, right? Or have teams already gone but failed, and why isn't the army moving?"

Ke Yuanjun raised an eyebrow, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, "It's good that you can think of these things. You can kill the Gold-Eating Beasts if you can. For other specific information, ask Meng Gang; he will tell you."

After leaving the Human Emperor Network, Lin Moyu did not immediately go to find Meng Gang. Based on his analysis, the matter with the Gold-Eating Beasts didn't just happen, so there was no rush.

He waited for a while until a task counter became available, then started operating at the task counter.

Among the tasks he had selected earlier, one was in Area 6-99.

Area 6-99 is used for mining bismuth gold. Bismuth gold is a special metal containing metal-type laws. It is an excellent material for making weapons and armor.

At the center of this area, there is a star entirely composed of bismuth gold, with bismuth gold essence growing at its core.
