Bab 1157: 1359
**Chapter 1359: Mutual Vigilance, Each with Their Own Agenda**
Suppressing his inner dislike for the Buddha Tribe, Lin Moyu maintained a calm expression, appearing to listen attentively to Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva's words.
Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva smiled slightly and began to share his thoughts.
"We are four people in total, so we will split into two groups."
"One group will be responsible for searching for the passage, while the other group will distract the leader monster, buying time for the search group."
"Each search session will last one hour. If we don't find anything within an hour, we will return to the shore to rest for an hour before diving again."
"The second time we dive, the groups will switch roles, with the other group distracting the leader monster."
"We will divide the lake into designated areas, with each group responsible for different areas to avoid overlap."
As he spoke, Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva projected a map.
The projection showed the layout of the central lake, with the lake divided into 99 areas.
Lin Moyu glanced at the map and noticed a large empty area in the center of the lake.
He looked at Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva, waiting for an explanation.
Not only he, but the Black Sand God King and the Erosion Earth God King also looked at Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva.
Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva explained, "The central area is the core of the lake and the most likely place to find the passage. However, I have never been able to enter it. Every time I tried, I was blocked by the leader monster."
Lin Moyu asked, "Can you describe the characteristics of the leader monster?"
"Of course!" Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva did not refuse. He changed the projection again, showing a ferocious monster.
It had a fish body, but the dog head was replaced by a lion's head.
The head was covered with hideous lumps, looking terrifying.
In the center of its head, there was a single horn, resembling a dragon's horn.
Just looking at the monster was chilling.
The monster also had a pair of large hands, holding a weapon, a long spear.
Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva said, "This leader monster resembles the Yaksha from our Buddha Tribe's teachings, so I named it Yellow Sand Yaksha."
"The Yellow Sand Yaksha frequently appears in the core area. It has very keen senses and can detect any intruder from any direction."
"Moreover, it is very fast, much faster than us in the water, making it difficult to deal with."
"Even if we are just distracting it, we need to be extremely careful and cooperate well."
Lin Moyu memorized the appearance of the leader monster. From Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva's tone, it was clear that the monster was formidable.
If it could also summon other monsters, it would be nearly impossible to deal with.
For now, distracting the leader monster and searching for the passage seemed the best approach.
Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva looked at the others and, after a few seconds of silence, asked, "Do any of you have a better suggestion?"
The Black Sand God King and the Erosion Earth God King remained silent. Lin Moyu said, "Little Buddha's method is good, but how should we form the groups?"
Lin Moyu knew that Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva had already thought this through. His question was just a prompt for Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva to explain his plan.
Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva chanted a Buddha's name and said, "I think I should team up with the Erosion Earth God King, and Lin Daoist should team up with the Black Sand God King."
Lin Moyu's eyes flickered slightly, thinking, "As expected."
He had anticipated that Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva would suggest this grouping.
Among the four present, there were no racial grudges.
However, the Black Sand God King and the Erosion Earth God King were allies and had a close relationship.
If they were grouped together and found the passage, they might enter it themselves, leaving Lin Moyu and Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva at a disadvantage.
So, it was necessary to separate them, which was understandable.
However, Lin Moyu also had some concerns about this arrangement.
Among the four, only he and the Erosion Earth God King were not Minor God Sovereigns, and on the surface, Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva was the strongest.
If Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva and the Erosion Earth God King found the passage, there was a possibility that Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva might kill the Erosion Earth God King and enter alone.
This was not impossible.
But if Lin Moyu opposed this arrangement and insisted on teaming up with the Erosion Earth God King, Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva might not agree, as he didn't know Lin Moyu's true strength. He only knew that Lin Moyu had killed Jin Hui and considered him a strong opponent.
After much thought, Lin Moyu realized that no matter how they grouped, there would be issues.
The best solution was not how to form the groups but how to set restrictions.
The Erosion Earth God King seemed dissatisfied with the grouping but remained silent, as the Black Sand God King signaled him not to speak.
The Black Sand God King, though not known for his intelligence, understood the reasoning. After a moment, he spoke for both himself and the Erosion Earth God King, "I have no objections."
Lin Moyu smiled slightly, "I have no objections either, but I think we should make a vow to the Great World."
Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva seemed to have anticipated this and said, "Of course."
He immediately made a vow, "I swear that in the central lake, I will not harm the Black Sand God King of the Sand Tribe, the Erosion Earth God King of the Earth Monster Tribe, or Lin Moyu of the Human Tribe. If I break this vow, my Dao heart will collapse, and I will die."
After his vow, Lin Moyu, the Black Sand God King, and the Erosion Earth God King also made their vows.
Each of them then took out a drop of their essence blood and let it float into the air. The four drops of essence blood merged in the air, and a thunderclap sounded, with lightning striking the essence blood. The essence blood dissipated in the lightning, and the Great World vow was established.
The higher the realm, the greater the commotion when making a Great World vow.
It is said that when the highest beings make a Great World vow, the lightning can sweep across the starry sky, easily destroying galaxies.
With the Great World vow in place, the four of them felt more at ease.
However, Lin Moyu remained vigilant, as Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva had agreed too readily.
Although the Great World vow had strong binding power, it was not foolproof.
Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva might have some means to circumvent the vow.
So, Lin Moyu had to stay cautious to survive.
Not only him, but the Black Sand God King and the Erosion Earth God King were likely just as wary.
Although they were cooperating temporarily, each had their own agenda and remained vigilant.
After some more discussion, it was decided that in the first round, Lin Moyu and the Black Sand God King would search for the passage in Area 1.
According to Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva's numbering, the higher the number, the closer it was to the center.
This numbering method was similar to that used by the Human Tribe in the Vermilion Bird Battlefield, and many races in the Great World adopted this method.
"Let's go."
Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva and the Erosion Earth God King were the first to leap into the lake.
Holding the branches of the Tree of Death, the branches emitted a bright glow like a beacon as they entered the water.
Wherever the light reached, the lake water became calm.
The two of them quickly dived deeper, and soon, their light was no longer visible from the surface.
After about five minutes, Lin Moyu and the Black Sand God King exchanged glances and then leaped into the lake simultaneously.
