 **Chapter 1358: The Buddha Tribe is Still the Same Buddha Tribe**

In the sky, a projection of Lin Moyu's figure appeared. This method was not particularly sophisticated; it merely gathered laws. Not only could a True God easily achieve this, but even a Super God could do it without any problem.

This projection could only speak and had no other function. It was completely different from the projections of God Sovereigns that could carry power for combat.

The four of them were separated by thousands of miles, and the projections stood in the void, facing each other.

Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva clearly considered himself the leader of this meeting. He spoke in a low voice, "This monk has gathered the three of you today to explore the central lake and find the path to the Nether Swamp."

Lin Moyu's heart skipped a beat, "So it is indeed about this matter."

"From his words, it seems he hasn't been to the bottom of the central lake and doesn't know what's inside."

"But he knows that the path to the Nether Swamp is at the bottom of the lake."

Lin Moyu quickly made many guesses in his mind but did not speak, intending to listen to what else Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva had to say, hoping to gather more information.

Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva continued, "The three of you should be aware that beneath the central lake, there are countless monsters. Ordinary monsters are not a concern for us; with the branches of the Tree of Death, they will avoid us. However, the leader monster is difficult to deal with."

"The path to the Nether Swamp is at the bottom of the lake, but its exact location needs to be found."

"Moreover, we need to discuss how to avoid the leader monster, as the branches of the Tree of Death have no effect on it."

After saying this, Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva looked at the others, waiting for their input. His intention was clear: he wanted the four of them to join forces to try to eliminate the leader monster. Currently, there was no enmity between the Human Tribe, Buddha Tribe, Water Tribe, and Earth Monster Tribe, so there was indeed a possibility of cooperation.

Lin Moyu looked at Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva and was the first to speak, "Little Buddha, I am new here and do not understand the situation in the central lake. I have some questions."

Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva chanted a Buddha's name, "Amitabha, Lin Daoist, please ask."

Lin Moyu asked directly, "First question, what is the realm of the leader monster, and have you fought it?"

Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva immediately replied, "The leader monster is at the Minor God Sovereign realm. This monk has fought it but was not its match."

Lin Moyu's expression remained unchanged as he asked the second question, "Second question, you mentioned that with the branches of the Tree of Death, ordinary monsters will not trouble us. If during the battle, the leader monster summons those ordinary monsters to attack us, will the ordinary monsters still care about the branches of the Tree of Death?"

This question stumped Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva. "This monk is not sure. I only fought it for a few moments and retreated when I realized I was no match."

He then added, "However, what Lin Daoist said is not without reason. If the leader monster summons ordinary monsters to attack us, this monk is not sure if the branches of the Tree of Death will still be effective."

Lin Moyu had fought many dungeons, and some bosses would summon their minions during the battle. Therefore, when fighting a boss, it was common practice to clear out its minions first, leaving it with nothing to summon.

If the leader monster in the central lake suddenly summoned ordinary monsters to attack them, it was uncertain whether the branches of the Tree of Death would still be effective.

Lin Moyu continued to ask, "Third question, Little Buddha, can you describe the situation you saw at the bottom of the lake and the specifics of the lake?"

Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva nodded, "Of course. There are many fish-bodied, dog-headed monsters in the lake. These monsters will actively attack anyone who gets close. For example, if we stand on the shore without holding the branches of the Tree of Death, the monsters inside will attack us."

"However, these monsters have a characteristic: they cannot come ashore. Once they do, they turn into sand and die instantly."

"The monsters in the lake are not as powerful as the mountain monsters, but they are far more numerous. Clearing them all out would be very difficult."

By "very difficult," Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva meant it was practically impossible.

The central lake was enormous, and even with Lin Moyu's eyesight, he couldn't see its end.

The three of them, separated by thousands of miles, occupied only a tiny corner of the central lake.

Lin Moyu thought that even if they threw a few stars into the lake, it wouldn't be a problem.

Such a vast lake was inherently unreasonable, and the number of monsters inside was likely countless.

Given this, clearing out the monsters inside was an impossible task and the wrong approach.

But if they didn't clear out the monsters, the leader monster would likely summon its minions during the fight.

With just the few of them, they wouldn't stand a chance.

It seemed like an unsolvable problem.

After Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva finished explaining what he knew, Lin Moyu roughly understood the situation he was facing. It was very tricky.

Lin Moyu then asked the fourth question, "Little Buddha, you mentioned that you went down to find the path to the Nether Swamp but couldn't find it. Is it possible that the passage will only appear after the leader monster is killed?"

This guess was not without reason. Lin Moyu thought of the situation at the bottom of Yellow Sand Lake, where there were indeed passages, but they were inaccessible.

Following this logic, even if there was a passage at the bottom of the central lake, it might not be accessible until the leader monster was killed. Perhaps the leader monster would drop a key or something similar.

Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva said solemnly, "This monk has considered this possibility. However, killing the leader monster is too difficult, so this monk believes it is better to search for the passage first."

"If we find the passage and it is as Lin Daoist said, we can then think of a way to kill the leader monster."

Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva still insisted on his idea of avoiding the leader monster and prioritizing finding the passage.

Unless they couldn't find it, they would then consider killing the leader monster.

But from his calm tone, Lin Moyu sensed a different meaning.

It seemed that Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva had some confidence in killing the leader monster but claimed he wasn't its match.

This indicated that he had a trump card or had lied earlier.

Regardless, killing the leader monster would likely come at a cost.

Unless absolutely necessary, he clearly didn't want to pay that price.

Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva's little schemes were almost all guessed by Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu didn't ask any more unnecessary questions and went straight to the point, "Little Buddha, what do you plan to do?"

He knew that all the previous talk was just a prelude.

Since Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva had taken the initiative to gather them, he must have already had a plan.

Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva didn't answer directly but looked at the Black Sand God King and the Erosion Earth God King, "Do you two have any suggestions?"

The Black Sand God King shook his head, "No, I have been down there and seen the leader monster but haven't fought it. It's very strong, and I can't defeat it."

The Erosion Earth God King, who was sparing with words, said, "I haven't been down there."

Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva said, "In that case, this monk has an idea. Please listen and see if it is feasible."

Lin Moyu couldn't help but smile inwardly. As expected, he had come prepared.

He had already guessed what the Black Sand God King and the Erosion Earth God King would say.

Neither the Sand Tribe nor the Earth Monster Tribe were known for their intelligence, making them easy targets for Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva's schemes.

"The Buddha Tribe is still the same Buddha Tribe, full of hypocrites," Lin Moyu thought.
