After the plan was set, the two then shared their thoughts with Shen Muzhi and You Siqi.
Their plan was indeed a bit risky, but it had to be said, it was also the best plan they could think of at the moment.
Shen Muzhi's condition was too poor. If he were to participate in the battle, he would definitely not be able to help much. Lu Wuming and Liu Buli could see this clearly without him saying it. Therefore, they naturally didn't make things too difficult for Shen Muzhi. Liu Buli thought for a moment, looking at his kitten-like appearance, and asked hesitantly, "Entrusting You Siqi to you, you should be able to protect him, right?"
When this question came from Liu Buli's mouth, and the person being asked was Shen Muzhi, it made the question a bit strange. The two looked at each other and fell silent for a moment. It was Shen Muzhi who replied, "It is indeed a bit difficult right now, but I also know when I need to push myself. So, not only can I protect Siqi, but I can also protect you. According to your plan, you need to use that artifact far away from Lu Wuming, right? When using the artifact, you will definitely need to focus all your attention on it. Since that's the case, leave all the surrounding monsters to me. I can handle them all."
As he finished speaking, Shen Muzhi also jumped out of You Siqi's embrace.
The moment he landed, he had already reverted to his human form. Although his expression still looked a bit weak, the spiritual energy he was mobilizing around him could be felt. He was indeed determined to fight with his back against the wall and face the situation properly.
With his state, Liu Buli was also relieved.
After all, if he had to help Lu Wuming with the transfer alone while constantly dealing with the monsters around him, he would indeed be overwhelmed. Although he knew Shen Muzhi was pushing himself a bit, everyone was pushing themselves at the moment. So, as long as they could win, it was fine to endure for now.
Quickly reaching a conclusion in his mind, Liu Buli let out a long sigh. He said, "Based on my understanding of this artifact, if you want to move people, you need a cooperating object. It doesn't matter if the object has life or not; it's equivalent to a conversion. As for how many conversions there are, it seems to be related to the spiritual energy injected into the artifact."
Just like what he did earlier.
He only transferred Lu Wuming and Shen Muzhi, but he transferred many monsters. Although he didn't think those monsters would pose a great threat to the divine sword, at least for them, those monsters could be used as materials for conversion.
"I roughly understand the theory, but how do we perform the first conversion?" Shen Muzhi raised his hand with some confusion and said, "Do we have to ask Brother Lu to approach that ghost race again? Honestly, that's too dangerous. If we get too close to that guy, we can't guarantee how badly we'll be injured."
"I know that, of course, so I would never let Wuming approach rashly again," Liu Buli nodded and said, "As for how to perform the first conversion, don't we have a lot of ready materials here?"
As he spoke, he gestured towards the surrounding monsters.
Shen Muzhi's eyes widened slightly, "You plan to use these monsters to get close to that ghost race?"
Liu Buli nodded slowly.
Taking a few deep breaths, he said, "Look now, these monsters are not actively attacking us. That's because Wuming's berserk state earlier shocked them, so they've temporarily quieted down. As long as they find a suitable opportunity, they will attack us again. Because for them, devouring and killing is the meaning of their existence. So, do you think, when that ghost race chases after us and reaches the area where monsters are dense, will these monsters attack him?"
As soon as he said this, the eyes of everyone present regained their luster.
However, You Siqi frowned slightly and said, "Are you sure he will chase us? According to the Ghost King's orders, he shouldn't be allowed to chase too far. After all, the deeper they get into the death zone, the fewer advantages they have. That Ghost King seems to be a thinking being, so I don't think he would agree to such a mindless pursuit."
"The Ghost King would indeed not agree, and you are right, the Ghost King is a thinking being," Liu Buli nodded, his smile filled with mockery, "But didn't you hear our Wuming say, that ghost race doesn't seem to be a thinking being? A general in the field does not have to obey orders. Moreover, he is alone, and there is no one to stop him. If he feels he has a high chance of winning, do you really think he won't come after us?"
This question hit the nail on the head.
The crowd exchanged glances, all feeling that Liu Buli's words made a lot of sense. And according to their considerations, the monsters that could get close to that ghost race would probably need to be a bit stronger. So, the pressure was all on Shen Muzhi. Liu Buli patted his shoulder and said earnestly, "You have to believe in yourself. You are the male protagonist of this world! Even if the situation is a little difficult, I believe that with your strength, you will definitely be able to overcome this difficulty. What do you think?"
Shen Muzhi felt he was joking.
But now, this was the only way.
If Liu Buli and Lu Wuming went to deal with that ghost race together, it meant that the two of them would bear the most difficult task. The task left to him, dealing with the monsters, was relatively simpler. If he couldn't do it well, then it would be his fault.
Having made up his mind, Liu Buli once again drew out his long sword, brought everyone onto the sword, and then moved towards the deeper part of the death zone.
After walking for about five minutes, Liu Buli gestured towards Lu Wuming. The latter, understanding, released a burst of ghost energy into the sky. The ghost energy was like a towering red light, clearly revealing their position.
After doing this, Liu Buli directly took out the artifact for shifting and changing again.
Shen Muzhi took his place, helping him control the flying sword, and flew away from this location with great speed.
At the same time, they also felt an extremely domineering aura rapidly approaching. Liu Buli narrowed his eyes and murmured, "The fish has taken the bait."
