It had to be said that Liu Buli's way of thinking was indeed very strange. Logically, after being tricked by the Heavenly Dao just now, he should have been furious and hated the other party.
However, Liu Buli did not have such thoughts.
Instead, he continued to ponder how to utilize the Heavenly Dao as usual.
After all, if he didn't use such a useful tool, he would feel like he was letting himself down.
Liu Buli had always been like this, extremely dangerous yet inexplicably charming.
The few people present were already accustomed to his state, so they just smiled slightly upon hearing Liu Buli's words. Shen Muzhi took the initiative to say, "Let's proceed with the plan for now, but shouldn't we leave this underground cave and see what's outside first? Perhaps the situation outside is a bit different from what we planned. It's also possible that the Ghost King couldn't resist sending people into the dead land to capture us."
Liu Buli nodded.
Although in his opinion, the Ghost King would not give such an order. Because he had absolute advantage within the Ghost City, and they had to return to the Ghost City to reach the cultivation world.
Since that was the case, the Ghost King had no reason to take such a risk.
After all, if they entered the dead land, his most effective advantage would disappear.
And the reality was indeed as he thought, the Ghost King was a creature with some brains. It was precisely because of this that he could judge what could be done and what should not be done. kanδん
The dead land was still populated only by those monsters. Let alone the Ghost King, they didn't even see a single ordinary ghost.
As they neared the Ghost City, Liu Buli hesitated for a moment, then took out all the materials he had collected earlier.
After staring at the materials and struggling for a while, Liu Buli directly pushed all of them into Shen Muzhi's arms. Seeing his action, Shen Muzhi was stunned and asked with some confusion, "What is this for? I don't know how to refine pills, especially yours. If you asked me to start the furnace, I wouldn't dare."
"Of course I know, and I don't intend for you to start the furnace," Liu Buli smiled and said, "I just feel that it might not be easy for us to get out this time. It's safer to have the items on you because your target was never me from the beginning, so your probability of getting out safely is higher than mine. Please keep these for me, and I'll come to you after I get out. Is that okay?"
His words sounded light and breezy, but anyone could tell that he definitely had a bad premonition, which led him to say such strange things.
However, since he entrusted the items to Shen Muzhi, it meant that Liu Buli had not completely given up. Therefore, Shen Muzhi hesitated for a moment and did not refuse his request. He just nodded, put all the materials into his Qiankun Bag, and said, "Then even if the plan goes wrong and we are forced to separate, I won't wait for you. After all, it's not convenient to move with Si Qi. If the two of us can run, we'll run first."
"That's exactly what I mean. If unexpected situations arise, you don't need to worry about us, and you absolutely must not worry about us," Liu Buli patted Shen Muzhi's shoulder, his smile unchanged, and said, "After all, the materials I gave you are very important. You must protect them well. Otherwise, even if I escape from here, that sword above my head will still be hanging there, ready to fall at any moment."
He was referring to the situation of having one body with two souls, which Shen Muzhi naturally understood. A rather helpless smile appeared on his face, and he nodded, replying, "Don't worry, I will protect these treasures you gave me."
With all the necessary arrangements made, Liu Buli took a deep breath. He gestured towards the distant Ghost City with his chin and said, "If we're ready, shall we begin?"
Shen Muzhi smiled and nodded.
Actually, if he could, Lu Wuming really wanted to take Liu Buli's place and participate in his plan. However, the spiritual energy and ghost energy within Lu Wuming were too turbulent to suppress and conceal. Therefore, whether it was delicate tasks like controlling puppets or sending another puppet out of the Ghost Realm, even if he wanted to do it, he was powerless and truly unable to.
Liu Buli naturally understood this and could see how wronged their big dog was. He reached out and stroked the other's head, showing a smile full of comfort, and said, "Alright, Wuming, don't be sad. There are many things that require your help. After all, when the ghosts in the city realize they killed a puppet, they will probably get angry and attack outside the city. At that time, when Shen Yishi and I are controlling the puppets, the responsibility of protecting us will all fall on you." kΑnshu伍.ξà
Upon hearing this, Lu Wuming's eyes immediately lit up. He was very willing to take on this kind of responsibility.
As the few people approached the Ghost City, Liu Buli estimated the approximate distance. Once he confirmed that he could send the puppet in his hand to the boundary point, he nodded towards Shen Muzhi.
The agreed-upon plan had been reviewed countless times in their minds.
Therefore, Shen Muzhi did not hesitate and directly tossed the puppet in his hand, using his spiritual energy to send it over the Ghost City gate.
The puppet's eyes looked down at everything below, so the few people could see clearly. Just as they had initially guessed, not only the entrance of the Ghost City but also the sides of the surrounding city walls were filled with ghosts. They were clearly prepared for everything, quietly waiting for Liu Buli and the others to walk into their trap.
It was precisely because of this that at the first moment they discovered the puppet's appearance, almost all the ghosts simultaneously launched attacks in that direction.
Shen Muzhi had prepared himself mentally in advance, and since he could see the situation over there through the puppet's eyes, dodging, although somewhat difficult, was not entirely impossible.
At this moment, Liu Buli chose a place with the weakest defense and secretly transported the puppet in his hand into the Ghost City.
Everything was proceeding according to plan.
Just as the puppet controlled by Liu Buli was about to reach the boundary point, Shen Muzhi, who was standing beside him, suddenly froze, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
At the same time, everyone clearly saw that the puppet he had just sent in had been cut to pieces and was completely out of control.
