Swallowing the Stars: Eternal Glory

Chapter 28 The Mastermind Behind the Beast Tide

"I don't know. Judging from his physique, he doesn't match any known invincible war god or spirit master in the world."

A staff officer said.

Because he is not yet a minor and is under seventeen years old, Lu Jin's height has not yet reached its peak.

He is currently only 1.75 meters tall, which is relatively thin compared to other martial artists.

In addition, given the scarcity of invincible war god mentalists worldwide, this advisor immediately recognized Lu Jin as none of the known powerhouses he had in mind.

Suddenly, Qin Heng realized something important and quickly ordered, "Order the satellite reconnaissance team to locate the Silver Moon King as soon as possible."

Silver Moon King is one of the two king-level monsters that reside in the Changbai Mountains, and also one of the old rivals of the Northeast Military Region.

This beast tide was orchestrated behind the scenes by the Silver Moon King.

When the beast tide first appeared, the military's reconnaissance satellites lost track of the Silver Moon King.

Given the laser cannons deployed at the war base, the Silver Moon King is unlikely to personally join the beast tide to attack the war base.

At most, they would stay in the rear to oversee the battle, ensuring that the lord-level monsters would attack the war base instead of running away when they encountered a tough challenge.

But right now, this unfamiliar, invincible war god mentalist is running rampant amidst the beast tide, and he might just be targeted by the Silver Moon King in the shadows.

Although the invincible war god and mental master are not necessarily afraid of the Silver Moon King, who has not made much progress after becoming a king-level monster, this is still something that must be guarded against.

"Yes, Chief!"

The communications soldier responded and quickly contacted the satellite reconnaissance team.

More than two hours later.

"Oh!"

Another mid-level lord-level 'Wild Wolf' monster was blown in the head by the Nine-Element Throwing Knife. A dazzling golden light flashed, and a pure golden ball of light fell out.

Lu Jin's expression froze for a moment as he shoved a portion of his consciousness into the external space to investigate, before a broad smile spread across his face.

[Dropped Item: Apprentice-level Life Elixir * 100]

[Drop Source: Mid-level Boss - Wild Wolf]

[Drop Tier: Critical Hit Drop]

[Item Description: A spiritual liquid containing pure life energy. After being consumed by an apprentice-level martial artist/spiritual master, it can increase punching power/spiritual power by 1000kg.]

"Holy crap, 100?!"

At that moment, Lu Jin felt surrounded by happiness.

A full 100 vials of Apprentice-level Life Elixir are enough to increase punching power or mental power by 10 kg.

After taking it, not only will one's mental strength reach the peak level of a high-level war god, but one's physical fitness will also be improved to a level exceeding 22 kilograms of basic punching power.

With his gaze sweeping across the entire battlefield, and seeing that there were no more lord monsters among the beast tide, Lu Jin did not linger any longer and rode his hexagonal shield away from the battlefield.

The most important thing right now is to find a safe place, consume the Elixir of Life, and become a high-level War God peak mental master.

Then, through the planetary-level life essence, one can become a planetary-level mentalist and join the ranks of the world's top powerhouses.

As for the numerous beast generals and lord monster materials hunted?

Money is nothing compared to the urgency of becoming a planetary-level powerhouse.

Moreover, if the military is willing, they will naturally keep it for him.

On the other side, far from the war base, in a desolate mountain forest.

Looking into the distance, Lu Jin was riding a hexagonal shield away from the battlefield in mid-air.

A wolf-like monster, tens of meters long, covered in silver fur, and exuding a terrifying aura, flashed a fierce light in its eyes, transformed into a silver streak, and followed it through the dense forest.

As the mastermind behind this beast tide, the Silver Moon King already hated Lu Jin to the core. However, the terrain of the beast tide battlefield was quite open, and even as a king-level monster, it dared not show itself to tear Lu Jin apart.

Otherwise, if a King-level monster appears in the beast tide, the evil humans will definitely use a laser cannon with immense power that is difficult to dodge once it is targeted.

But now that this evil human psychic has left alone, it has an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

As long as you're not a member of parliament, what does it matter if you're a spiritualist?
I am the great Beast King! I am not to be trifled with.

"Whoosh-"

In mid-air, Lu Jin's flying figure, piloting a hexagonal shield, whistled past and landed on a natural stone platform extending from a cliff.

With a thought, several bottles of apprentice-level life essence materialized in his hand. The battle armor covering his mouth retracted, and Lu Jin directly unscrewed the caps and poured them all into his mouth.

As the life essence enters the body, pure life energy surges forth, and every cell in the body begins to evolve.

Meanwhile, within the sea of ​​consciousness.

The moment Lu Jin's physical attributes reached the intermediate-level War God standard, the platinum-gold globe symbolizing innate mental power suddenly expanded.

Immediately afterwards, a series of 'crackling' sounds rang out, and the entire platinum-gold sphere shattered, turning into white mist that filled the sea of ​​consciousness.

At this moment, Lu Jin finally fully realized the peak ninth-level innate mental power he had obtained from the 'Mental Power Talent Crystal'.

From now on, if Lu Jin wants to further improve his mental power level, he will need to cultivate on his own or use resources to build it up.

Soon, the pure life energy surging from its belly was exhausted, and the brief evolutionary frenzy came to a halt.

Just as Lu Jin was about to take out the planetary-level life essence that he had treasured for a long time from his external storage space, his radiating spiritual power sensed something was wrong.

As his expression changed drastically, Lu Jin quickly shifted his body to the side to dodge.

"call out!"

The next moment, a beam of cyan energy shot out and hit the natural stone platform where Lu Jin had been standing.

"Boom——"

A violent roar resounded, and under the bombardment of the cyan beam of light, the entire stone platform was reduced to a large number of large and small fragments.

Standing in mid-air on a hexagonal shield, with seven triangular light cones materializing beside him, Lu Jin saw a giant silver wolf, tens of meters long and covered in steel needle-like hair, flying from the distance.

The moment Lu Jin saw the newcomer, he guessed who it was.

Needless to say, it must be one of the king-level monsters that resides in the Changbai Mountains, the mastermind behind this beast tide, the Silver Moon King.

"You wretched creature! Instead of capturing you, you've walked right into my trap?"

Lu Jin shouted sternly.

According to intelligence released by the military and the HR Alliance, the Silver Moon King of Changbai Mountain has been a King-level monster for quite some time.

However, his strength is only so-so, probably still at the first-tier planetary level.

However, planetary-level warriors can awaken special abilities, such as Luo Feng's 'Diamond Body', and king-level monsters naturally have them as well.

The name of the Silver Moon King's awakened planetary-level special ability is unknown, but its effect has already been announced: it can greatly increase speed.

In terms of speed alone, aside from avian king-level monsters, the Silver Moon King is not slower than king-level monsters that have reached planetary level three.

Ultimately, however, the Silver Moon King's level is only Planetary Tier 1, at most it's just that it's faster.

A mentalist can fly much faster than a martial artist of the same level.

With the peak ninth-tier mental power of an apprentice amplified sevenfold, plus the advantage of the Radiant Cone, it wasn't impossible for him to fight against the Silver Moon King.

Even as an apprentice, one can still hunt down king-level monsters!
