Because the beast was now at a disadvantage, it realized that relying solely on its current abilities to defeat both Uchiha Hikaru and Shui Lingboyang was nearly impossible. The beast was clever enough to decide to hide in its own lair.
If that was all, it would not have mattered much. But if it kept hiding inside, Uchiha Hikaru and Shui Lingboyang would have to figure out how to lure it out before launching an attack.
Their ultimate goal was to eliminate it, not let the beast hide away. Simply forcing it into hiding would not solve the problem. Even after Uchiha Hikaru left, Shui Lingboyang would still have to face the same issue.
So Uchiha Hikaru thought they still needed to use some spiritual power to draw the beast out, but he did not know of any good method. Seeing the bright look in Shui Lingboyang's eyes, he felt that she might have come up with a good idea.
"Do you have a good idea? Tell me, and we can see whether it's feasible. But it must be based on ensuring your safety."
Looking at Shui Lingboyang's expression, Uchiha Hikaru felt that she must have had something in mind, which was why he asked. Otherwise, he would not have questioned her so rashly.
"I do have a good idea. I can use my abilities to grow some lingzhi around here. This beast loves lingzhi, so once it smells it, it will definitely come out."
"And there is a reason I am taking the risk of using my abilities here to grow lingzhi. The beast's power will greatly increase after it eats lingzhi, but I cannot put my poison into the lingzhi."
"Because if I did, it would notice while eating. If it discovered it, it would become even angrier.
