Chapter 915: The Heartbeat Sound from the Star
The God-Slaying Fortress transformed into lightning and flew into the star system at an astonishing speed. Lin
It stopped immediately after entering the star system, without going further.
Lin Moyu left the God-Slaying Fortress and sensed the situation in the star system.
Each star system has its own characteristics.
Especially non-life star systems, their characteristics are more pronounced.
If every life star system has commonalities, differing only in resource abundance and location, then each non-life star system has its own story.
For example, the Vermilion Bird 000066 non-life star system where Lin Moyu currently was, might have been a prosperous life star system long ago.
But for some reason, it became what it is today.
"The temperature is very high!"
"Even though we are far from the star, the temperature shouldn’t be this high."
"It seems the star is indeed abnormal."
From a distance, the star looked like a small fireball, smaller than a fist, revealing nothing unusual.
Only by getting closer could one see some clues.
Lin Moyu re-entered the God-Slaying Fortress and flew towards the star.
This non-life star system was much better than the Vermilion Bird 000128 non-life star system, at least the stars were not shattered.
Large stars floated in the star system, continuously orbiting the star.
Except for the absence of life, everything else seemed normal.
As Lin Moyu approached the star, he suddenly saw darkness ahead, and a monster flew towards him.
The monster was extremely fast and crashed heavily into the God-Slaying Fortress.
The immense force actually stopped the God-Slaying Fortress.
Lin Moyu reacted quickly, and with a thought, a God-Slaying Thunder was launched.
Although the God-Slaying Fortress had not fully recovered, it could still injure a true god.
As for anything below the sixth tier of super god, being hit by the God-Slaying Fortress would mean losing at least half their life if not dying.
The monster that pounced was close at hand.
The God-Slaying Thunder struck it, and intense flames erupted from its body. The flames included blue fire, indicating extremely high temperatures.
The monster screamed in pain, its expression twisted in agony.
But it did not give up, continuing to frantically attack the God-Slaying Fortress.
The monster possessed the laws of fire, and each strike caused a burst of flames.
The God-Slaying Fortress was extremely sturdy, unaffected by the monster’s attacks.
After several attacks from the God-Slaying Fortress, the monster fell with reluctance.
Lin Moyu observed that these monsters had combat power around the fourth tier of super god.
With slightly stronger defense, they could reach the sixth tier of super god.
The God-Slaying Fortress needed three hits to kill one.
The monster was about 200 meters long, not very large in the starry sky.
Lin Moyu’s data did not include information about this star system.
So he didn’t know if these monsters originally lived in the star system or came from outside.
Nor did he know if these monsters were the cause of the star’s anomalies.
As he got closer to the star, Lin Moyu saw many black spots on the star.
"Could the star’s anomalies be caused by these black spots?"
Getting closer, Lin Moyu finally saw that these black spots were actually the monsters that had attacked him. They seemed to have noticed Lin Moyu and charged at him frantically.
Now only tens of thousands of kilometers from the star, Lin Moyu put away the God-Slaying Fortress.
He used a detection spell to check the monsters’ information.
**[Fire-Eating Beast]**
**[Level: Super God]**
**[Characteristics: Fond of fire, highly immune to fire element laws, unafraid of high temperatures. Can devour star flames to enhance itself.]**
After reading the information, Lin Moyu pointed a finger, and the originally scorching temperature dropped significantly. Above Lin Moyu, the Undying World descended, filled with countless phantoms.
Then a giant eye over 100,000 meters wide slowly opened.
Silver flames burned in the eye, intertwined with gray and white energy.
The laws carried by the Undead Gaze greatly enhanced its attack power.
Wherever it looked, the Fire-Eating Beasts screamed in agony.
Lin Moyu pointed again, using the fusion spell: Time Curse!
The triple curse, enhanced by the laws of time, exploded instantly.
The monsters’ defense was indeed strong, but their soul power was limited.
Under the dual attack of the Undead Gaze and Time Curse, they were instantly killed.
Lin Moyu acted as if it was a trivial matter, flying alone towards the star.
After Lin Moyu left, a figure that had been following him revealed itself.
He stared at the place where the Fire-Eating Beasts had died, muttering, "What kind of law is this? I’ve never seen it before." He thought for a moment and collected two Fire-Eating Beast corpses.
As he got closer to the star, Lin Moyu felt the flames on the star’s surface pulsating violently. Each pulse released immense heat.
The star seemed very unstable, as if it could explode at any moment.
When he was only a thousand kilometers from the star, Lin Moyu saw more Fire-Eating Beasts.
There were many more of them.
At least 100,000, burrowing into the star, their bodies writhing frantically as if digging for something.
Lin Moyu noticed that they had no interest in his presence.
Unlike the Fire-Eating Beasts on the star’s surface.
These Fire-Eating Beasts seemed deeply attracted to something, digging with intense focus.
As they dug, the entire star rumbled, and unusual heat was emitted, causing the temperature of the entire star system to rise sharply.
"What is attracting them?"
Lin Moyu knew he had completed Task 1, observing from within 1000 kilometers of the star’s surface.
For Task 2, finding the cause of the star’s anomalies, Lin Moyu believed he had figured it out. It was likely caused by these Fire-Eating Beasts.
But why they were doing this remained unknown.
Lin Moyu approached further, getting very close to the star.
The rolling flames were within reach.
Boom!
The moment he touched the flames, he heard a loud heartbeat.
A heartbeat...
Lin Moyu was shocked. How could there be a heartbeat?
He even wondered if he had misheard.
But when he touched the flames again, the heartbeat sounded again, very clearly.
Lin Moyu tried reaching into the flames.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The heartbeat was strong and rhythmic.
With each heartbeat, Lin Moyu had a thought.
"Go in, get it."
The Nine-Colored Dragon Soul Crystal suddenly roared, and Lin Moyu’s thought was instantly dispelled.
Lin Moyu felt a lingering fear. He had just had the urge to rush in recklessly.
It felt like he was being bewitched.
He finally understood why the Fire-Eating Beasts were frantically digging into the star.
They were likely attracted by the heartbeat.
Lin Moyu now understood what was happening.
