Catastrophic necromancer

**Chapter 1306: Do Monsters Drop Magic Treasures When Killed?**

In the eighth star fortress, a heavy pressure permeated the air.

A True God realm cultivator arriving here would feel as if their body was weighed down by ten thousand pounds, making even basic movements difficult, and flying would be impossible.

This was intentional, as from the seventh fortress onwards, the areas faced were those of the Divine King realm.

If a True God realm cultivator recklessly came here, they could lose their life at any moment.

The seventh fortress was still manageable, but the eighth fortress was even more dangerous.

This setup served as a warning to those True Gods who did not know their limits, making them retreat in the face of difficulty.

Lin Moryu emerged from the teleportation array, immediately attracting the attention of many.

There were quite a few Divine Kings in front of the teleportation array, at least a dozen.

The sudden appearance of a True God was very eye-catching.

In the eyes of the Divine Kings, Lin Moryu’s True God aura was unmistakable.

As for Zhu Qiwu, his aura was deep and concealed, so the Divine Kings ignored him.

“A True God coming here, is he seeking death?”

“The eighth war zone is not a place for True Gods; they could lose their life at any moment.”

“He sure is bold, standing there motionless. Is he unable to move?”

“Being able to stand is already impressive. The pressure here is so heavy that even a first-level Divine King would feel uncomfortable. How can a True God bear it?”

The discussions of the Divine Kings reached Lin Moryu’s ears, but he showed no reaction.

He quietly waited for Zhu Qiwu, who was performing some operations on the teleportation array.

They were heading to area 101, a hidden area that couldn’t be reached by ordinary means.

Zhu Qiwu needed to use his authority to open the teleportation to that place.

After about a minute, Zhu Qiwu said in a deep voice, “It’s done.”

Lin Moryu re-entered the teleportation array, and the two quickly left.

The Divine Kings present thought Lin Moryu had returned, considering it the normal course of action.

A mere True God should not be active in the eighth war zone; it was pure suicide.

But suddenly, someone noticed something unusual because the teleportation array remained active.

Under normal circumstances, after they left, the teleportation array should enter standby mode, waiting for the next use.

But this time, the teleportation array stayed active.

Among the ten teleportation arrays, the other nine were in standby mode, only this one remained active.

“What’s going on?”

“No idea, never seen this before.”

An elderly Divine King suddenly spoke in a low voice, “I’ve heard of something similar. It’s said that many fortresses have hidden areas. Whenever someone goes to a hidden area, the teleportation array stays active until they return.”

“What are hidden areas? I’ve never heard of them.”

Immediately, someone questioned, as few had heard of hidden areas, and there was no information about them in the Human Emperor Network.

The elderly Divine King explained, “Since they are hidden areas, naturally not many people know about them. I only learned about them by chance.”

“Hidden areas are said to be very dangerous, with a high chance of death and little reward, making them not worth the risk. That’s why the military keeps them hidden, to prevent people from going there to die.”

The crowd listened to the elderly Divine King, each showing surprise.

There were too many secrets on the battlefield. Even as Divine Kings, they didn’t understand many things, let alone the Divine Sovereigns.

A teleportation array hidden in the void suddenly lit up with a faint light.

The light illuminated an area of ten thousand meters, like a fireball slowly burning.

Lin Moryu and Zhu Qiwu appeared in the teleportation array.

Zhu Qiwu set coordinates in the teleportation array, which could sense his battleship and serve as a starry sky beacon.

There were no outposts here, and nothing was shown on the star map, just an endless void.

Without setting a marker, it would be easy to get lost.

Although not afraid of getting lost on the battlefield, losing direction and accidentally entering enemy territory would be troublesome.

After setting the marker, Zhu Qiwu closed the teleportation array, and the void returned to darkness and silence.

If the teleportation array continued to emit light, it could serve as a beacon but would be too conspicuous and easily destroyed by enemies.

A Divine Sovereign-level battleship continuously jumped through the void, each jump covering tens of millions of kilometers.

Surrounded by endless void, with no reference points, Lin Moryu had no idea how Zhu Qiwu was navigating.

Hidden areas were very mysterious, fundamentally different from other areas.

This was originally a nameless void, but people came because of the chaotic rules.

Zhu Qiwu said in a deep voice, “Our human race defines this as a hidden area, but other races do not.”

“When you enter the Yellow Earth Desert, besides the inherent dangers, you may encounter other races, so be careful.”

Lin Moryu asked, “Isn’t it said that there are no benefits in that area? Why would other races go there?”

Zhu Qiwu laughed, “No benefits only apply to our human race. For some special races, that area is beneficial.”

“The Yellow Earth Desert contains earth and stone laws. For races proficient in these laws, it’s a good place to cultivate.”

“Moreover, the desert continuously spawns monsters. Killing them yields their crystal cores, which can enhance these laws.”

“There are also leader-level monsters in the desert. Killing them drops special materials, though these materials are useless to our human race.”

Lin Moryu was stunned, feeling something strange.

He muttered to himself, “Why does this sound more and more like a dungeon in a small world, just missing equipment drops.”

Thinking of this, Lin Moryu suddenly asked, “Do the leaders inside drop… magic treasures?”

He originally wanted to say equipment but changed it to magic treasures, as that was the term used in the larger world.

Zhu Qiwu looked at Lin Moryu strangely, “Why do you have such a peculiar idea?”

It seemed they didn’t. Lin Moryu smiled slightly, “I just thought that dropping materials was less straightforward than dropping magic treasures.”

Lin Moryu then changed the topic, “Since other races are active inside, haven’t they reached the deepest part of the desert over the years?”

He originally wanted to ask if those races had reached the Nether Swamp and if Xu Qingyang’s soul was still alive.

If Xu Qingyang was already dead, there would be no need to rescue him.

Zhu Qiwu said, “Maybe they have, maybe they haven’t. But Xu Qingyang is still alive, that’s for sure.”

Seeing Zhu Qiwu’s certainty, Lin Moryu asked no more.

Zhu Qiwu said, “Just do your best. If you really can’t save him, it’s okay. Your life is the priority.”

Seeing Zhu Qiwu’s solemn and serious expression, Lin Moryu felt the unusual nature of this mission again.

The danger was certain, but the specifics of the danger might be unknown even to Zhu Qiwu.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have kept it from Lin Moryu.

With the battleship’s final jump, they exited subspace and came to a complete stop.

A vast yellow area appeared in their view.

“It’s really big!” Lin Moryu couldn’t help but exclaim.
