Chapter 1228
The branch emitted a yellow light, and ripples of laws spread out, instantly calming the lake surface.
It was as if an invisible giant hand had smoothed the surface of the lake.
The three stood by the lake, forming a triangle, each nearly ten thousand kilometers apart.
Lin Moyu said, "Lin Moyu of the Human Race, greets the three of you."
Chapter 1358: The Buddhist Clan is still the same Buddhist Clan
In the sky, a projection of Lin Moyu appeared.
This method was not very sophisticated; it was merely gathering laws. Not to mention the True God Realm, even the Super God Realm could easily do it.
This kind of projection, apart from being able to speak, was useless.
It was completely different from the projections of God Venerables that could harbor power to fight; they were not the same thing.
The four were separated by ten thousand miles, and their projections stood facing each other in the void.
Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang acted as if he were the leader of this meeting, saying in a low voice, "This humble monk has gathered the three fellow Daoists this time because I wish to explore the Core Area lake with the three of you and find the path to the Nether Swamp."
Lin Moyu's heart skipped a beat, "As expected, it is because of this."
"Judging from his words, he should not have been to the bottom of the lake in the Core Area and does not know the situation inside."
"However, he knows that the path to the Nether Swamp is at the bottom of the lake."
Lin Moyu quickly had many guesses in his heart, but he did not speak, intending to continue listening to what Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang would say, hoping to get more information.
Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang continued, "The three fellow Daoists should be aware that there are countless monsters under the lake in the Core Area. We don't need to worry about ordinary monsters; with the Tree of Death, ordinary monsters will give us a wide berth. The only one that is difficult to deal with is the leader."
"The path to the Nether Swamp is at the bottom of the lake, but we need to search for its exact location."
"Moreover, we also need to discuss how to avoid that leader, as the Tree of Death has no effect on it."
After saying these words, Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang swept his gaze over everyone, waiting for them to speak.
His meaning was very clear: he wanted the four of them to join forces and try to see if they could kill that leader.
At present, there was no enmity between the Human Race, the Buddhist Clan, the Water Tribe, and the Earth Monster Race, so there was indeed a possibility of joining forces.
Lin Moyu looked at Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang and spoke first, "Little Buddha, I am new here, and I don't know much about the matters inside the lake in the Core Area, so I have some questions."
Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang chanted a Buddhist name, "Amitabha, please ask, Fellow Daoist Lin."
Lin Moyu was straightforward, "The first question, what is the realm of that leader monster, and have you fought against it?"
Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang answered immediately, "That leader monster is at the Lesser God Venerable realm. This humble monk has fought with it before and was not its match."
Lin Moyu's expression did not change, and he continued to ask the second question, "The second question, you just said that with the Tree of Death in hand, ordinary monsters won't trouble us. If, during the battle, the leader monster summons those ordinary monsters to deal with us, will the ordinary monsters still care about the Tree of Death in our hands?"
This question stumped Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang, "This, this humble monk is not too clear. I only fought with it for a few breaths and did not risk my life; admitting I was not its match, I retreated."
Afterward, he added, "However, what Fellow Daoist Lin said is not without reason. If it summons ordinary monsters to deal with us, this humble monk also does not know if the Tree of Death will still be useful."
Lin Moyu had cleared many Dungeons, and some BOSSes would summon their minions during the battle.
Therefore, when fighting a BOSS, one would usually clear out its minions so that it would have nothing to summon.
If, at the bottom of the lake in the Core Area, that leader suddenly summoned ordinary monsters to attack them, it was really hard to say whether the Tree of Death would be useful.
Lin Moyu continued to ask, "The third question, can Little Buddha describe the situation you saw at the bottom of the lake, as well as the specific conditions inside the lake?"
Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang nodded, "Naturally. In the lake, there are many dog-headed, fish-bodied monsters. These monsters will actively attack those who approach. For example, as we are standing on the shore now, if we were not holding the Tree of Death, the monsters inside would attack us."
"However, these monsters have a characteristic: they cannot go ashore. Once they go ashore, they turn into sand and die instantly."
"The combat power of the monsters in the lake is not as good as the mountain monsters, but their numbers far exceed them. It is very difficult to clear them all out."
What Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang meant by "very difficult" was that it was basically impossible to do.
The lake in the Core Area was very large, and even with Lin Moyu's eyesight, he could not see the edge at a glance.
The three of them were separated by ten thousand miles from each other, but they actually occupied only an insignificant corner of the lake in the Core Area.
Lin Moyu felt that stuffing a few stars into the lake in the Core Area would not be a problem.
Such a huge lake's existence was inherently somewhat unreasonable, and the number of monsters inside was probably countless.
Since that was the case, clearing out the monsters inside was an impossible method and a wrong approach.
But if they did not clear out the monsters inside, when dealing with the leader monster, it would nine times out of ten summon its minions.
With just the few of them, they simply could not win.
It seemed to have become an unsolvable problem.
After Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang finished explaining what he knew, Lin Moyu roughly understood the situation he was facing; it was very tricky.
Lin Moyu then raised a fourth question, "Little Buddha, you said you had gone down to look for the path to the Nether Swamp, but didn't find it. Could there be a possibility that this passage only appears after killing the leader monster?"
This conjecture of Lin Moyu was not without reason; he thought of the situation at the bottom of the yellow sand lake before, where there were indeed passages.
However, those passages could not be entered.
Based on this inference, even if there was a passage at the bottom of the lake in the Core Area, it was probably inaccessible before killing the leader monster.
Perhaps the leader monster would also drop something like a key.
Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang said in a deep voice, "This humble monk has also thought about this question; it is not impossible. It's just that wanting to kill that leader is too difficult, so this humble monk thinks it is better to search for the passage first."
"If the passage is found, and it is really as Fellow Daoist Lin said, then we can come back and find a way to kill the leader monster."
Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang still insisted on his own idea; he still wanted to avoid the leader monster and prioritize the passage.
Only if he couldn't find it would he think about killing the leader monster.
But Lin Moyu heard a different meaning in his calm tone.
He seemed to have some confidence in killing the leader monster, but he also said he was not the leader monster's match.
This meant he had a trump card, or that he had lied before.
But regardless of which it was, wanting to kill the leader monster would probably require paying a corresponding price.
Unless it was a last resort, he obviously did not want to pay that price.
Some of Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang's little schemes were almost all guessed by Lin Moyu.
Lin Moyu stopped asking extra questions and began to point to the core, "Little Buddha, what do you intend to do?"
He knew that everything said before was just a prelude.
Since Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang had taken the initiative to gather them, saying it was for discussion, he actually already had an idea.
Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang did not answer directly but looked at God King Heisha and God King Shitu, "Two fellow Daoists, do you have any high opinions?"
God King Heisha shook his head, "No, I have also been down before and have seen that leader, but I did not fight it. It is very strong, and I cannot beat it."
God King Shitu was sparing with his words, "Haven't been down."
Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang said, "Since that is the case, this humble monk has an idea. The three fellow Daoists can listen and see if it is feasible."
Lin Moyu couldn't help but sneer in his heart; he was indeed prepared.
He had long guessed what God King Heisha and God King Shitu would answer.
Whether it was the Sand Tribe or the Earth Monster Race, neither was a race good at using their brains; how could they escape Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang's schemes?
"The Buddhist Clan is still the same Buddhist Clan, hypocritical guys."
Chapter 1359: Guarding against each other, each with their own ulterior motives
Suppressing the dislike for the Buddhist Clan in his heart, Lin Moyu's expression remained unchanged on the surface, revealing an appearance of listening to Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang.
Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang smiled slightly and spoke about his idea.
"There are four of us, and we will be divided into two groups."
"One group will be responsible for searching for the passage, and the other group will be responsible for attracting the attention of the leader monster to buy time for the other group."
"The search time for each session is set for one hour. If nothing is found within one hour, we will return to the shore, rest for one hour, and then go down to search again."
"The second time we go down, the roles of the two groups will be swapped, and the other group will be responsible for attracting the attention of the leader monster."
"We will designate areas, with each group responsible for different areas to avoid duplication."
While speaking, Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang released another projection.
In the projection was a topographical map of the lake in the Core Area. He had already delineated areas in the lake in the Core Area, dividing it into a total of 99 areas.
Lin Moyu glanced at it and found that in the center of the lake's projection, a large area was left empty.
He looked at Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang, waiting for his explanation.
Not only him, but God King Heisha and God King Shitu also looked at Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang together.
Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang immediately explained, "This middle area belongs to the Core Area of the lake, and it is also the area most likely to contain the passage. But this humble monk has never been able to enter; every time I wanted to go in, I was blocked by the leader monster."
Lin Moyu asked, "Little Buddha, can you describe some of the characteristics of the leader monster in detail?"
"Very well!" Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang did not refuse. He changed the projection again, and a ferocious monster appeared in the projection.
It also had a fish body, but the dog head was gone, replaced by a lion head.
The fleshy balls growing on top of its head looked very ferocious and terrifying.
In the very center of the top of its head, there was also a single horn, which looked like a dragon's horn.
Such a monster was chilling just to look at.
The monster also had a pair of large hands, holding a weapon in its hands, which was a long spear.
Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang said, "This leader monster is somewhat similar to the Yaksha in our Buddhist Clan's doctrine, so this humble monk named it the Yellow Sand Yaksha."
"The area where the Yellow Sand Yaksha most frequently appears is the Core Area. Its senses are extremely sharp, and no matter from which direction one enters, it will be sensed by it."
"Moreover, its speed is very fast. In the lake water, its speed is far superior to ours, so it is very difficult to deal with."
"Even if we are just attracting its attention, we need to be extremely careful and cooperate with each other."
Lin Moyu kept the appearance of the leader monster in his mind. From Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang's tone, he could indeed feel that it was not easy to deal with.
If it could still summon other monsters, then it would be somewhat unsolvable.
As of now, attracting the attention of the leader monster and taking the opportunity to search for the passage was the best method.
Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang looked at the few people, and after a few seconds of silence, he spoke again, "Regarding this humble monk's proposal, do the three fellow Daoists have any better methods?"
God King Heisha and God King Shitu did not speak.
Lin Moyu said, "Little Buddha's method is not bad, but how should we group up?"
Lin Moyu knew that Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang must have already thought it through, and his words were just a lead to let Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang say it out.
Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang chanted a Buddhist name again, "This humble monk thinks that this humble monk and God King Shitu should be in one group, and Fellow Daoist Lin and God King Heisha should be in another."
Lin Moyu's eyes turned slightly, and he thought to himself, "As I expected."
He had previously thought that Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang would use this combination method.
The four people present had no enmity at the racial level.
However, God King Heisha and God King Shitu had an alliance, and their relationship was quite close.
If they were allowed to be in the same group, in case they found the passage, they might go in by themselves, and then he and Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang would fall into a passive position.
Therefore, it was understandable to separate them.
But at the same time, Lin Moyu also had a slight concern about this distribution.
Because among the four, only he and God King Shitu were not Lesser God Venerables, and on the surface, Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang was the strongest.
If Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang and God King Shitu were in a group, and they found the passage, would Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang suddenly kill God King Shitu and go in by himself?
This was not impossible.
But if he were to raise an objection now and ask to be in a group with God King Shitu, Bodhisattva Xiao Ming Wang would probably not agree.
Because he did not know the depth of Lin Moyu's strength, and since Lin Moyu could kill God King, he regarded him as a powerhouse of the same realm.
After thinking a lot, Lin Moyu found that no matter how they were grouped, there would be problems.
