**Chapter 1360: Kite Tactics, Extreme Pulling**
In the yellowish lake water, a halo of light appeared. Lin Moyu and the Black Sand God King each held a branch of the Tree of Death, which emitted a faint glow.
A large number of fish-bodied, dog-headed monsters in the lake retreated upon seeing the glow.
Soon, the two reached the lake bottom and began searching for the passage.
Lin Moyu and the Black Sand God King maintained a distance of a thousand meters, a distance that ensured thorough searching while expanding their search range, improving efficiency.
They continuously advanced along the lake bottom, with Lin Moyu carefully searching along the lake's edge.
The passage could be in the peripheral area or somewhere at the lake bottom; anything was possible until it was found.
The lake bottom was not mud but composed of grains of sand.
The sand was filled with laws and would not dissolve into mud in the lake water.
The Black Sand God King, being from the Sand Tribe, had a natural affinity for earth and stone laws. As he searched, the sand in the lake automatically scattered around him.
Using his racial advantage, his search speed was much faster than Lin Moyu's.
Soon, he moved ahead of Lin Moyu.
Time passed, and an hour quickly went by.
In just one hour, they couldn't complete the search of Area 1, only covering most of it.
But time was up, and the two quickly surfaced, returning to the shore.
Half a minute after they returned, Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva and the Erosion Earth God King also emerged from the lake, shooting out like cannonballs and soaring into the sky.
Immediately after, a massive figure also burst out of the lake.
It was a hundred meters tall, with a lion's head and a fish's body, covered in dense fish scales.
The lumps on its head were extremely hideous, and a single horn looked sharp and pointed. Long arms grew from the sides of its fish body, holding a hundred-meter-long spear.
The Yellow Sand Yaksha looked exactly like the projection of Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva, even more hideous in reality.
The Yellow Sand Yaksha chased out of the lake, suspended in mid-air, and fiercely thrust its spear at Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva and the Erosion Earth God King.
A massive spear shadow appeared in the void, carrying a terrifying momentum, aiming to pierce the two.
Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva turned first, chanting a Buddha's name, and a string of prayer beads appeared in his hand.
The prayer beads activated and flew out, rapidly enlarging in the air, transforming into a round shield.
The round shield was engraved with Buddha Tribe runes, and for a moment, Buddha voices echoed, as if countless Buddhas were chanting scriptures.
The spear shadow struck the round shield with a loud bang.
The spear shadow disappeared, and the Yellow Sand Yaksha fell back into the lake.
Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva and the Erosion Earth God King simultaneously landed back on the shore.
Lin Moyu could see that the Erosion Earth God King still had a look of panic in his eyes.
His clothes were somewhat tattered, and his aura was unstable, indicating he had suffered some minor injuries.
His strength was not as great as Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva's and was much weaker compared to the Yellow Sand Yaksha.
The Erosion Earth God King didn't speak, just slightly bowed to Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva and silently sat aside, with laws surging around him, seemingly healing his injuries.
Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva sighed, "The Yellow Sand Yaksha is too powerful. I was just testing it, and we almost got into trouble, causing the Erosion Earth God King to get slightly injured."
Lin Moyu knew this was just a polite remark and responded, "With Little Buddha here, the Erosion Earth God King will be safe. His panic is greater than his injuries, so it's not a big deal."
Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva asked, "Did you find anything during the search?"
Lin Moyu and the Black Sand God King shook their heads.
Not finding anything was normal, as it was only the first search, and they hadn't even completed Area 1. Finding the passage wouldn't be easy and would require a lot of time.
Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva also sat down, "Next round, you two will distract the Yellow Sand Yaksha. Please be very careful."
Lin Moyu nodded and stopped speaking.
The surroundings fell silent, with only the branches of the Tree of Death continuously emitting a faint glow.
Lin Moyu closed his eyes, seemingly meditating, but his mind was already connected to the Skeleton God Warriors.
Earlier, his search speed was slower than the Black Sand God King's. In a position where the Black Sand God King couldn't see, he released a hundred Skeleton God Warriors.
The Skeleton God Warriors buried themselves in the sand at the lake bottom and began to move now. They quickly moved along the lake bottom edge to the other side.
In an hour, Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva would enter the lake to search, and the Skeleton God Warriors needed to avoid him. The Skeleton God Warriors moved quickly at the lake bottom, silently, without disturbing any monsters. The monsters in the lake completely ignored the Skeleton God Warriors, which had no life force.
After reaching their destination, the hundred Skeleton God Warriors began searching, forming a terrain map in Lin Moyu's mind.
An hour later, Lin Moyu and the Black Sand God King opened their eyes simultaneously.
They exchanged a glance and then leaped high, diving into the lake.
As soon as they entered the lake, they swam towards the lake center.
Their goal was to attract the Yellow Sand Yaksha's attention, so they headed straight for the core area.
The branches of the Tree of Death continuously emitted a faint glow, repelling ordinary monsters, allowing them to move quickly.
Soon, a massive figure came into view.
Lin Moyu and the Black Sand God King spotted the Yellow Sand Yaksha, and the Yellow Sand Yaksha also noticed them.
Lin Moyu felt himself being locked onto by a powerful, violent soul.
It was beyond the ninth rank of the God King but weaker than a God Sovereign, a true Minor God Sovereign soul.
The branches of the Tree of Death lost their effect, and the Yellow Sand Yaksha, holding its spear, charged at them.
A strong sense of danger surged in Lin Moyu's heart. Being targeted by the Yellow Sand Yaksha posed a life-threatening risk.
"Retreat!"
Without thinking, Lin Moyu quickly retreated.
The Black Sand God King reacted just as quickly, retreating in a different direction from Lin Moyu, creating distance between them.
According to their prior agreement, they adopted a kite strategy.
The two maintained a distance of 1,000 kilometers, taking turns attracting the Yellow Sand Yaksha's attention.
They quickly distanced themselves, with Lin Moyu moving fast, but the Yellow Sand Yaksha was even faster in the water. The distance between them was rapidly closing.
Seeing that it was about to catch up, Lin Moyu prepared to endure the Yellow Sand Yaksha's attack.
Even though the Yellow Sand Yaksha had the combat power of a Minor God Sovereign, it couldn't kill him instantly.
So far, Lin Moyu remained calm.
Suddenly, a golden arrow broke through the water, striking the Yellow Sand Yaksha.
The Yellow Sand Yaksha turned sharply, looking at the Black Sand God King a thousand kilometers away.
The Black Sand God King had already taken his position and launched an attack without hesitation.
His attack drew the Yellow Sand Yaksha's attention, and it charged at him.
After the attack, the Black Sand God King quickly retreated.
Lin Moyu pointed his finger, following closely, maintaining a distance of a thousand kilometers from the Black Sand God King.
The Black Sand God King's timely attack diverted the Yellow Sand Yaksha's attention just as it was about to strike.
The Black Sand God King wasn't fast, even slower than Lin Moyu.
In just a few seconds, the Yellow Sand Yaksha caught up with the Black Sand God King.
Lin Moyu could see the Black Sand God King was very tense, his whole body taut, ready to act.
At this moment, Lin Moyu lightly pointed his finger, and a red light suddenly appeared in the yellowish lake world.
Star-level spell: Soul Burn!
Lin Moyu didn't use the Time Curse, as its power was too great, and he feared the Yellow Sand Yaksha would hold a grudge against him afterward. Just attracting attention, Soul Burn was enough.
