**Chapter 1199: Gold-Eating Beasts That Can Set Traps**

Meng Gang reacted immediately, but it was too late. Lin

His soul had just leaped out when the attack arrived, perfectly timed.

At the God King realm, the soul manifestation is fully integrated into the law domain, protected by it, ensuring the soul’s safety.

To attack the soul, one must first break through the law domain.

This is much more difficult than at the True God realm.

However, the soul’s fragility remains unchanged.

Once the soul is damaged, it can lead to severe injuries or even death.

This attack was unstoppable, easily piercing through Meng Gang’s law domain, heading straight for his soul.

If it hit, Meng Gang’s life would be in grave danger.

Meng Gang’s soul turned pale, feeling locked on, with no way to avoid it.

The attack came too fast and too suddenly, leaving Yuzhu and the others no time to react.

Their realms were insufficient, and they couldn’t react in time.

Just as Meng Gang was in despair, a white shadow appeared in front of his soul, between his soul and the attack.

A Skeleton God General, holding a shield, blocked the attack for Meng Gang.

The Skeleton God General kept retreating under the attack, but more Skeleton God Generals rushed over, tightly protecting Meng Gang.

Meng Gang felt like he had narrowly escaped death. He looked at Lin Moyu, who wasn’t even looking at him but was focused ahead.

The attack had come from the seemingly dead human cultivator.

Through the undead perspective of the skeletons, Lin Moyu saw a Gold-Eating Beast jump out of the human cultivator’s body. This Gold-Eating Beast was small, only the size of a palm, emitting a blue glow.

"A soul, the soul of a Gold-Eating Beast!"

Lin Moyu immediately recognized it as the soul of a Gold-Eating Beast.

After it left the human cultivator’s body, the human cultivator’s aura completely disappeared.

Even the arrow on the search array plate vanished.

He was truly dead.

The soul of the Gold-Eating Beast glanced at Meng Gang, then gradually faded and disappeared.

The starry sky was cold, with no starlight to bring warmth.

The atmosphere around them became inexplicably eerie.

Yuzhu swallowed, "It’s a trap, it really is a trap."

She now fully believed that Lin Moyu’s earlier judgment was correct.

The Gold-Eating Beast group had indeed developed intelligence, and it was not low, even using corpses to set traps.

Lin Moyu had the Skeleton God General examine the corpse and asked, "Do other races have similar search array plates?"

Meng Gang, still shaken from his near-death experience, hadn’t fully recovered.

But as a soldier, he instinctively replied, "Yes, all races have similar methods."

Lin Moyu nodded, "Be careful from now on."

Meng Gang took a deep breath and saluted Lin Moyu, "Thank you."

If it weren’t for Lin Moyu, he would have died.

Lin Moyu shook his head, "You’re my team member; saving you is my duty."

Meng Gang acknowledged and said no more.

The Skeleton God General carefully examined the corpse, confirming it was safe.

Lin Moyu ordered the Skeleton God General to bring the corpse back. He found several wounds on the corpse, one of which pierced through the forehead, a fatal injury.

Looking at the wound, Lin Moyu felt it was strange.

The wound was too small, only the width of a finger.

It didn’t look like a bite from a Gold-Eating Beast, nor did it resemble an attack from a Gold-Eating Beast.

It looked more like a wound caused by an arrow-like magical treasure from another race, making it difficult to determine.

Lin Moyu originally wanted to use the Resurrection of the Dead spell but decided against it.

The spell was too mysterious, beyond many people’s understanding.

Moreover, he didn’t want to easily expose his secret.

Besides, he believed the corpse wouldn’t have much useful information, other than how it died.

Lin Moyu handed the corpse to Meng Gang, "Keep it and bring it back."

With the battlefield token, they could find the original owner’s information, ensuring the body would return home and not be left in the starry sky.

Meng Gang used a new storage ring to store the corpse.

"Let’s continue."

Lin Moyu called out, and the group moved towards the next target.

The second target was about three million kilometers away, not very far, taking less than three minutes to fly there.

But halfway there, the target suddenly disappeared.

Meng Gang said in a low voice, "Dead."

The target disappearing could only mean one thing: death.

"Let’s go check it out." Lin Moyu’s face darkened, but he continued in the same direction.

His face darkened, thinking, "How could it be so coincidental that the target died just as we were about to reach it?" He felt something was off.

From his upbringing in the small world, Lin Moyu remained vigilant about everything.

Especially on the battlefield, lack of vigilance meant death.

Soon, they saw the corpse.

There were signs of a recent battle around the corpse, with residual law energy.

It was clear that the corpse’s owner had resisted before dying.

The aura hadn’t completely dissipated, but the Gold-Eating Beasts were already gone.

Lin Moyu suddenly stopped, "Something’s wrong."

Yuzhu, Wang Zhenghao, and Rong Jie, being here for the first time, couldn’t tell what was wrong.

Meng Gang also said, "Indeed, something’s wrong. Why would the Gold-Eating Beasts leave a corpse?"

Gold-Eating Beasts usually devour all other life forms, leaving no trace.

How could they leave a corpse?

The previous corpse was like this, and now this one too.

Lin Moyu connected to the undead perspective and saw the small soul of the Gold-Eating Beast again.

It was standing on the corpse’s head, clearly aware of Lin Moyu and the others, with a wary look in its small eyes.

In the next second, it leaped into the void, disappearing under the blue light.

Lin Moyu thought, "Could it have killed them?"

There was no one else around, so it seemed likely that the small soul of the Gold-Eating Beast was the killer.

But it was very alert, fleeing as soon as it saw Lin Moyu and the others.

Lin Moyu didn’t chase it, letting it go.

Meng Gang also saw it and asked in a low voice, "Did it kill them?"

Lin Moyu replied, "Probably. It seems this group of Gold-Eating Beasts is more troublesome than we thought. There might be more than one intelligent Gold-Eating Beast."

Meng Gang’s expression grew serious, realizing the situation was becoming more complicated.

This task felt like a death mission.

If it weren’t for Lin Moyu, any other God King might have been wiped out in the passage.

Lin Moyu had the Skeleton God General bring back the corpse, which also had a wound on the forehead.

But it was still unclear if the small soul of the Gold-Eating Beast was the killer.

They continued to the next target.

A few minutes later, they found the third target.

This time, it was a living person, but he was severely injured and unconscious.

Not only was he unconscious, but his soul was also in a coma.

The toxin from the gold-silver stone had entered his body, destroying his vitality.

Lin Moyu used the power of life to heal him. The power of life could heal, but it needed time.

Currently, there was no time, so he just maintained his condition and had Rong Jie carry him as they continued.
