When he heard this familiar solution, Lu Wuming's expression turned somewhat grim.
After fully accepting the experiences of his past life, Liu Buli had told him quite a bit about his past life's story as depicted in the novel.
For example, the protagonist in the novel, unable to find a way to completely kill him, had chopped him into pieces and burned them to ashes.
This was indeed something Lu Wuming had experienced in his previous life.
However, recalling that scene now, he couldn't even articulate whether Shen Muzhi, whom he had encountered in his past life, had succeeded in killing him with all those methods.
If his consciousness hadn't been reborn, would he have truly died then?
For Lu Wuming, this remained an unsolved mystery.
Moreover, judging by the trajectory of this life, with the most doting master in the world, his master would never allow him to be so severely injured, nor would he permit anyone to bully him in such a manner. Therefore, he would likely never unravel this mystery.
Despite this, upon hearing Liu Buli's answer, Lu Wuming couldn't help but frown. He asked earnestly, "Master, is it that You Siqi simply couldn't think of any other way to deal with it? Why is it that whenever he encounters a difficult opponent, his solution is always the same?"
Hearing this question, Liu Buli felt a bit embarrassed for You Siqi. After a moment's thought, he replied, "I think you can empathize with him. A book with millions, nearly tens of millions of words, it's quite normal for the author to run out of ideas. Besides, Shen Muzhi in the novel already had experience when dealing with you. Encountering another monster he couldn't handle, using the same method to resolve it seems reasonable, don't you think?"
After all, they were fellow townsmen and friends. Facing Lu Wuming's contemptuous question, Liu Buli tried his best to make excuses for You Siqi.
However, the effect was almost negligible.
Lu Wuming pouted, showing a particularly displeased expression. He muttered softly, "He's just useless, Master, you don't need to speak for him."
Liu Buli's mouth twitched.
Even You Siqi himself was quite accustomed to this appellation. So, after a moment's thought, Liu Buli didn't argue further. He simply coughed lightly and gestured towards the monster in front of them, saying, "Let's deal with this thing first. You can talk to them directly about other matters when you see them."
Lu Wuming's brow furrowed.
He actually wanted to tell Liu Buli that he had no desire whatsoever to see Shen Muzhi and the others again.
However, realizing that things wouldn't necessarily go according to his wishes, he simply gave up. Lu Wuming raised his claw again and attacked the monster in front of him once more.
Originally, Lu Wuming had thought that although the monster was quite large, it must have some fatal weakness. He didn't need to be as brutal as the protagonist in the novel; after all, once the weakness was found, a single decisive blow would be easy.
But halfway through the attack, Lu Wuming realized his naivete. They severed the monster's tentacles, and the monster would howl and attack them with other tentacles. And when the new tentacles were severed, the ones that were cut off earlier would regrow, endlessly, as if they could never be truly defeated.
Even Liu Buli, who had a good temper, couldn't help but frown when he realized the situation. A hint of annoyance emanated from him, and he knitted his brows, calling out to Lu Wuming, "Wuming, if it keeps regenerating like this, our efforts are completely meaningless. Why don't we find some help? If we all attack it together, perhaps it won't have time to recover."
This idea of his was entirely based on the novel.
After all, the plot in the novel was like this: Shen Muzhi led a large group of cultivators into this place, and they simultaneously attacked the monster. The monster's regenerative ability couldn't keep up with their attacks, and it was eventually chopped into pieces.
Although their current cultivation was much higher than Shen Muzhi's in the novel, with only the two of them, they couldn't achieve simultaneous attacks from all directions. Therefore, from Liu Buli's perspective, his suggestion was quite sound.
However, he didn't expect that upon hearing his suggestion, Lu Wuming would turn to look at him. The light in his eyes was intensely red, even carrying a hint of bloodthirsty excitement. He said, "Master, I think you're overthinking it. Just like those other ghost clans, even if it has the ability to recover, that ability has its limits. As long as I fight until its recovery ability is completely exhausted, it will become no different from an ordinary monster."
Saying this, he paused, then smiled even more brilliantly and said, "It just so happens that the fiery energy within me hasn't been fully unleashed, and this is an excellent target. Master, don't worry about it so much. I'll handle it, and you can have some leisure. It's a good thing."
