Chapter 1364: The Monk Will Do His Best to Kill It
The method to obtain the crystal core is very straightforward: kill the dog-headed fish-bodied monsters. There is no other way. The main focus of Lin Moyu's discussion was on how to kill and how many to kill.
In this regard, Lin Moyu had the most say, as he was the only one who had seen the power of the formation's whip and knew how much damage it could inflict on the Yellow Sand Night Demon.
From his observations, the formation's whip was unavoidable, possessing a soul-locking ability. As long as the formation was activated and the whip formed, the Yellow Sand Night Demon would inevitably be attacked.
The whip was powerful enough to break the Yellow Sand Night Demon's defenses, causing its skin to split open.
It seemed quite powerful, but Lin Moyu also knew that it was only superficial damage.
To truly harm the Yellow Sand Night Demon fundamentally with the whip, it would take tens of thousands of lashes.
However, hunting tens of thousands of dog-headed fish-bodied monsters in the lake was unrealistic.
These monsters were not weak ants; each one was a ninth-rank God King.
If Xiao Ming Buddha went all out, killing a few in a short time would already be impressive, and then he would still have to deal with the Yellow Sand Night Demon that could appear at any moment.
Although they had found a method, it seemed difficult to implement.
Everyone's faces showed signs of difficulty.
Lin Moyu glanced at everyone, "I think, although the formation can injure the Yellow Sand Night Demon, we cannot rely entirely on the formation."
"We should treat the formation as an auxiliary tool, using it to break the Yellow Sand Night Demon's defenses and disrupt its attack rhythm, creating opportunities for us to kill it."
Lin Moyu's words made everyone's eyes light up, realizing they had fallen into a thinking trap.
Xiao Ming Buddha immediately said loudly, "Daoist Lin is right, we should not rely entirely on the formation."
"The formation's whip is just an aid; we need to rely more on our own strength."
Lin Moyu continued, "I want to know if any of the God Kings have a trump card that can inflict fatal damage on the Yellow Sand Night Demon in a short time."
Lin Moyu considered the Yellow Sand Night Demon's defense and recovery abilities.
From the previous encounters with the Yellow Sand Night Demon and the formation's attacks, it was clear that the Yellow Sand Night Demon's defense was extremely strong.
To kill it, they first had to break its defense.
Secondly, the Yellow Sand Night Demon's recovery ability was also astonishing. Continuous damage was ineffective; it needed to be killed in a short time.
Everyone understood the meaning behind Lin Moyu's words.
After a few seconds, the Erosion God King, who had been silent, spoke first, "I have a treasure that can suppress the Yellow Sand Night Demon's recovery ability, but this treasure itself has no offensive power and needs to be activated inside the Yellow Sand Night Demon's body."
Saying this, the Erosion God King took out a bead, "As long as this Corrosion Bead is inserted into the Yellow Sand Night Demon's body, it can suppress its recovery ability and weaken its defense."
The bead was black, with faint flowing light on its surface, emitting a decaying aura.
Xiao Ming Buddha glanced at the Erosion God King, "If I'm not mistaken, the law contained in this treasure is one of the rarest in the earth and stone laws, the Corrosion Law."
The Erosion God King grunted in acknowledgment.
Lin Moyu thought of the information on earth and stone laws. Earth and stone laws belonged to the third tier of laws.
These laws were heavy on defense and light on offense, with many branches.
One of the branches was the Corrosion Law, which was very rare and almost no one practiced it.
The Corrosion Law itself was not strong in attack but was very troublesome.
The Corrosion Law had the ability to corrode and decay, combined with the recovery power of earth and stone laws. Once entangled, it was hard to get rid of, and it could ruin the physical body.
Its troublesome nature surpassed many second-tier laws.
Lin Moyu thought of the Erosion God King's name. Erosion was both a name and a title, representing the law he specialized in.
He realized that the Erosion God King specialized in such a niche and insidious law.
Xiao Ming Buddha's voice interrupted Lin Moyu's thoughts, "The Corrosion Bead can indeed suppress the Yellow Sand Night Demon's recovery ability, but the Yellow Sand Night Demon also specializes in earth and stone laws, so the Corrosion Bead's effect will be greatly reduced."
"I also have a treasure here, which is strong in attack, slightly weaker than a minor deity. But it has an advantage: it is extremely sharp."
"As long as we can break the Yellow Sand Night Demon's defense, this treasure can cut its body apart." Xiao Ming Buddha took out his treasure, a pair of golden scissors.
The scissors were filled with the laws of gold, one of the characteristics of which was sharpness.
Then the Black Sand God King also took out his treasure, a sand timer-like object, "I can use it to trap the Yellow Sand Night Demon, preventing it from escaping, and in the sand timer, the damage it takes will be doubled."
The three of them took out their treasures and then looked at Lin Moyu.
Lin Moyu smiled slightly, "I have a spell that can unleash an attack surpassing the ninth rank of a God King, slightly weaker than a minor deity. The spell can only be used three times with my current ability."
The spell Lin Moyu mentioned was naturally Corpse Explosion.
Using the corpse of a ninth-rank God King stone demon as material, it could unleash an attack surpassing the ninth rank of a God King, but still slightly weaker than a minor deity.
None of their treasures or spells could inflict fatal damage on the Yellow Sand Night Demon, but they could significantly weaken it in a short time.
Xiao Ming Buddha chanted a Buddhist mantra, "Then the rest is up to me. As long as it is heavily injured, I will do my best to find a way to kill it."
Lin Moyu smiled slightly, "Then we will rely on you, little Buddha."
"Of course." Xiao Ming Buddha did not hesitate, as if killing the Yellow Sand Night Demon was his duty.
Lin Moyu said, "Let's discuss how many crystal cores we need to obtain..."
In fact, Lin Moyu had long anticipated that Xiao Ming Buddha would go all out to kill the Yellow Sand Night Demon.
Among the four of them, besides himself, the one who most wanted to enter the Nether Swamp was Xiao Ming Buddha.
Even if they couldn't provide any treasures, he would find a way to deal with the Yellow Sand Night Demon.
So Lin Moyu didn't need to exert too much effort, just pretend to and then watch the show.
The discussion quickly ended, and they decided to limit it to one hour. Whatever they could obtain in one hour would be enough.
The Yellow Sand Night Demon wouldn't endlessly devour crystal cores; there was a limit. Killing too many might not be useful.
Next, the four of them swapped roles.
Lin Moyu and the Erosion God King would first enter the lake to attract the Yellow Sand Night Demon's attention.
Xiao Ming Buddha and the Black Sand God King would then enter the lake from the other side to kill the dog-headed fish-bodied monsters and obtain crystal cores.
Among the four, the Erosion God King was the weakest, only at the ninth rank of a God King, even weaker than Lin Moyu.
Lin Moyu's displayed strength was slightly higher than the Erosion God King's but not as strong as a minor deity.
So the task of attracting the Yellow Sand Night Demon fell to them, while Xiao Ming Buddha and the Black Sand God King, being minor deities, could quickly obtain enough crystal cores.
