 Chapter 1363: What I Say, You May Not Understand

Xiao Ming Buddha displayed his formidable combat strength, making seven entries and exits in the lake, killing six monsters in just over five minutes and obtaining six crystal cores. 

If it weren't for the appearance of the Yellow Sand Night Demon at the end, he could have killed even more.

Xiao Ming Buddha clashed with the Yellow Sand Night Demon once and used the force to return to the shore.

The Yellow Sand Night Demon floated in the lake, letting out a piercing roar before finally sinking back into the water.

At this moment, Xiao Ming Buddha's breath was fluctuating. In those short five minutes, he had exerted all his strength and now looked somewhat exhausted.

Lin Moyu glanced at him, feeling that Xiao Ming Buddha had indeed used his full strength, but it wasn't to the point of desperation. Half of his current appearance was an act.

A dignified minor deity, even if he fought desperately, couldn't possibly exhaust his strength in just five minutes.

If you said fighting for a day or two, that would be more believable.

"Even if you're acting, you should act more convincingly," Lin Moyu thought with some disdain. The Buddhist clan was really bad at acting.

Their hypocrisy could be seen through at a glance, truly pathetic.

Xiao Ming Buddha regulated his breath and asked, "Is it enough?"

Lin Moyu nodded, "It should be enough, let me try."

Saying this, he picked up a crystal core and threw it forcefully.

The crystal core flew out like a meteor, instantly disappearing from sight.

Xiao Ming Buddha watched Lin Moyu's actions without saying a word.

He didn't doubt Lin Moyu's intentions, just couldn't understand what Lin Moyu was doing.

However, Lin Moyu clearly had no intention of explaining, and the scene fell into an eerie silence.

The crystal core flew thousands of kilometers before falling into the lake, very close to the core area.

The skeletal god warrior was already waiting there. As soon as the crystal core entered the water, it was caught and quickly headed towards the nearest formation.

The skeletal god warrior rushed towards the formation at the fastest speed.

Soon, the formation came into view, and at this moment, the water on one side began to surge as the Yellow Sand Night Demon approached.

It seemed that the entire central lake was its territory, and no movement could escape its notice.

The Yellow Sand Night Demon, like a cat smelling fish, rushed over at an astonishing speed.

It was too fast, and the skeletal god warrior couldn't get close to the formation in time.

At this moment, the skeletal god warrior used all its strength to throw the crystal core towards the formation.

The Yellow Sand Night Demon immediately changed direction, completely ignoring the skeletal god warrior, focusing only on the crystal core.

When Lin Moyu saw the Yellow Sand Night Demon rushing towards the crystal core, he knew his judgment was correct.

The crystal core had an irresistible attraction to the Yellow Sand Night Demon, making it willing to pay any price.

For some reason, the Yellow Sand Night Demon couldn't directly obtain the crystal core by eating those dog-headed fish-bodied monsters. It could only get it when the formation had just gathered it into a crystal core.

Once the crystal core continued to form and became a monster, it was useless.

But if the dog-headed fish-bodied monster was killed by someone else and turned back into a crystal core, it could devour it again.

The next step was to test the next judgment. If successful, they would truly find a way to deal with the Yellow Sand Night Demon.

The crystal core quickly sank, approaching the formation.

When it was still ten thousand meters away from the formation, the Yellow Sand Night Demon finally arrived and swallowed the crystal core in one gulp.

At this moment, the formation suddenly lit up, and a phantom whip lashed out, striking the Yellow Sand Night Demon hard, tearing its skin and flesh.

The Yellow Sand Night Demon didn't care at all, looking satisfied, and quickly swam away, ignoring the skeletal god warrior.

Seeing this, Lin Moyu felt a sense of relief and finally exhaled a long breath.

Xiao Ming Buddha immediately asked, "How is it?"

His tone was urgent, as if entering the Nether Swamp was very important to him.

The next moment, Xiao Ming Buddha realized he might have lost his composure and asked again in a deep voice, "Is it useful?"

Lin Moyu pretended not to notice his abnormality and nodded, "It's useful, just as I thought."

Xiao Ming Buddha asked, "What's going on?"

Lin Moyu explained, "When I entered the lake bottom before, I saw a formation. I had seen a similar formation in the human clan's records and could roughly judge its function..."

Lin Moyu attributed all the information he obtained through the skeletal god warrior to the human clan's records.

The human clan had a long heritage in the great world, longer than the Buddhist and Sand clans.

Saying he had seen a similar formation in the human clan's records was perfectly reasonable.

Even if they didn't believe it, they couldn't verify it.

Lin Moyu then briefly explained the crystal core and the whip.

Xiao Ming Buddha said, "So, we just need to get enough crystal cores and then attract the Yellow Sand Night Demon near the formation."

"When the Yellow Sand Night Demon devours the crystal core, the formation will attack it. When it's heavily injured, we can kill it."

Lin Moyu nodded, "That's right. If the human clan's records are correct, these formations are a set."

"In the center of the lake bottom, there should be another formation. That formation needs a crystal core to activate, and it should be the Yellow Sand Night Demon's crystal core."

Lin Moyu's words were half true and half false. At least in Xiao Ming Buddha's ears, there was nothing wrong with them.

The only problem now was that Lin Moyu's speculation that the formation in the center of the lake bottom needed the Yellow Sand Night Demon's crystal core to activate was not entirely certain.

Lin Moyu was actually already certain but couldn't say it directly.

Xiao Ming Buddha pondered for a few moments, "Daoist Lin, Daoist Black Sand, please hold off the Yellow Sand Night Demon for a moment. I want to see for myself."

He decided to see it with his own eyes; otherwise, he couldn't be sure.

Lin Moyu nodded, "I have no problem. What about Daoist Black Sand?"

Black Sand God King also said in a low voice, "I can do it."

The two of them jumped into the lake together, separated by a thousand miles, waiting for the Yellow Sand Night Demon to come.

Xiao Ming Buddha's reaction was actually within Lin Moyu's calculations. When he mentioned the formation at the lake bottom, Xiao Ming Buddha showed no surprise.

But Black Sand God King and Erosion God King were somewhat shocked.

This indicated that Xiao Ming Buddha already knew about the formation but had never mentioned it.

Whether he saw the formation at the bottom of another Yellow Sand Lake or at the center of this lake, it showed he was hiding something.

Perhaps he was hiding more than just this.

Lin Moyu deeply suspected that Xiao Ming Buddha had an unspeakable secret for wanting to enter the Nether Swamp so urgently.

What exactly was in the Nether Swamp that was so important to him?

The Yellow Sand Night Demon rushed over, and the two cooperated seamlessly to kite it again.

With previous experience, their cooperation was now almost perfect.

After attracting the Yellow Sand Night Demon's attention, Xiao Ming Buddha also jumped into the lake, swimming rapidly towards the center.

Nearly an hour later, Xiao Ming Buddha returned, and Lin Moyu and Black Sand God King, reaching their limits, quickly left the lake and returned to the shore.

Xiao Ming Buddha's eyes showed a hint of excitement, "Daoist Lin was right. There is indeed a formation in the center area. I observed the core of the formation, and it indeed needs a crystal core to activate."

His words implied that the crystal core needed to activate the formation was none other than the Yellow Sand Night Demon's crystal core.

This was the effect Lin Moyu wanted. Xiao Ming Buddha seeing the result of his speculation with his own eyes was much more convincing than Lin Moyu saying it.

Next, they began to discuss how to obtain enough crystal cores.
