The so-called Sanctum was the nest of a demigod that had yet to be apotheosized. It was common knowledge that gods would leave the material plane with their God Kingdom after apotheosizing, but there was no God Kingdom before apotheosizing, or rather, the God Kingdom had yet to be built. Such an unbuilt God Kingdom was the Sanctum, the last nest of a demigod, and also the safest place.
Although it was not a God Kingdom, it already had some of the power of a God Kingdom.
In the Sanctum, a demigod would have the home field advantage and weaken the enemy.
There were also petitioners in the Sanctum, but because it was not a God Realm, the rules were not perfect, and the number of petitioners it could hold was limited. The Naga demigod had turned the most elite batch of believers who had died over the years into petitioners and set them all as Sanctum guards.
In other words, if Lin Xiao wanted to attack the Sanctum, he would have to kill all the Sanctum guards first.
Of course, at this time, he had not even attacked the Holy Mountain, let alone the Sanctum that was hidden somewhere in the Holy Mountain. Even this Giant Toad could not do anything to it.
This big guy's skin was thick, and its vitality was very strong. Its vitality was even more terrifying than the giant sea serpent that they had killed earlier. Moreover, its regeneration ability was equally terrifying. The wounds caused by the grey mist murlocs could be healed in less than ten seconds. Even the big wounds caused by the Nagas were slowly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This guy guarded the entrance of the Holy Mountain and jumped back and forth, its long tongue sticking out and swallowing a target.
No matter how they fought, as soon as the murlocs reached the entrance of the Holy Mountain, this Giant Toad would jump over like crazy and smash a bunch of them to death. With this unreasonable body size, it defended the entrance of the Holy Mountain under the siege of seventy to eighty thousand murlocs and Naga.
Even if the Naga's normal attacks could break through the Giant Toad's defense, the damage was not enough to affect the Giant Toad too much, and it would heal in less than ten seconds.
Although Salted Fish Stab was powerful, the cooldown of ten minutes was too long, and it could not be killed in one wave. After ten minutes, the damage from the previous wave would be almost done.
During this time, Naga kept being killed by the Giant Toad, and the loss made Lin Xiao's heart ache.
The current situation was in a stalemate. The merman army lacked the ability to deal fatal damage to the giant toad, so they could only continue like this.
Fortunately, regeneration also required physical strength and nutrition. No matter how strong the giant toad's vitality was, there was a limit to it. It couldn't keep jumping around like this forever. There was bound to be a time when it would be exhausted.
However, Lin Xiao felt that he could not wait that long. Furthermore, he could not really waste time like this. According to his estimation, if he wanted to exhaust this giant beast to death, he would not be able to kill Naga, even if there were tens of thousands of murlocs. By then, what would he use to attack the Sanctum?
Therefore, he was prepared to descend with his true body!
Yes, he had to take the risk of descending with his true body to kill this giant toad and open up the path to the Naga Demigod Sanctuary. He had to break through the Sanctuary in one fell swoop before the Naga Demigod Sanctuary could recover.
This was his best chance. If he delayed any longer, once the Naga Demigod recovered, he would be sending himself to his death.
If he delayed for too long, he was afraid that the Sea God would rush over. Furthermore, there were other Demigods in this world. He was afraid that the battle would cause too much of a commotion and attract the other Demigods. That would be like drawing water with a bamboo basket, and all his efforts would be in vain.
While Lin Xiao was thinking, on the divine artifact platform outside the plane's crystal wall, the ten head teachers, Class 2's head teacher, Zheng Yifan, had been paying attention to this battle. When he saw that the merman army had already besieged the Sacred Mountain and the Naga Demigod Sanctuary had yet to appear, he suddenly turned his gaze and said to the vice-principal:
"Your Excellency Vice-Principal Xu, I suddenly have an idea."
The vice-principal glanced at him and said:
"Go ahead."
Zheng Yifan then looked at the other teachers, especially at Wu Hai, and said, "I'm sorry.
"From the looks of it, it's really difficult for Lin Xiao to break through the Sanctuary of the Naga Demigod. However, it's already very difficult for him to reach this stage. This is also an excellent opportunity. It would be a pity if he failed. Therefore, I have an idea. Can we summon Yan Renjie from Class 2 and Wan Ying from Class 1? The three of them are the three most outstanding students of this year, and the gap between them and the other students is very obvious. I suggest that the three of them work together to complete this mission and bear the pressure together."
All the head teachers looked at him in surprise at the same time. Zheng Yifan smiled at Wu Hai and continued:
"With Lin Xiao's current strength, there's a high chance that he will fail. I think it would be a pity to fail after coming this far. Instead of having nothing, why don't the three of them work together to take down this seriously injured Naga Demigod and share the benefits together?"
Everyone pondered for a moment. Vice-Principal Xu said to Wu Hai:
"Lin Xiao is your student. What do you think?"
Vice-Principal Xu obviously agreed with this suggestion. However, this was a student of Class 3 after all. He had to ask for the opinion of the head teacher of Class 3.
Wu Hai pinched the space between his eyebrows and looked up:
"In principle, I agree, but I can't make the decision for him. I need to contact Lin Xiao first and ask for his opinion."
"That's how it should be!"
Vice-Principal Xu nodded, and the other head teachers agreed.
In the Divine Territory, Lin Xiao, who had already made up his mind and was preparing to descend with his real body, suddenly received a message from his head teacher, Wu Hai. He tapped with his finger, and Wu Hai's projection appeared in front of him.
"Just now, the head teacher of Class 2 suggested to Vice-Principal Xu that Yan Renjie from Class 2 and Wan Ying from Class 1 come over to help you attack the Sanctuary of the Naga Demigod. What do you think?"
"This …"
Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment. His mind quickly turned to the news brought by his teacher. If Yan Renjie's clan tribe and Wan Ying's clan tribe were combined, how would this operation be affected?
He did not refuse. It was a good thing to have someone to share the pressure. Why should he refuse?
It was too much for him to do alone. It was already so difficult to deal with a gatekeeper. When he entered the Sanctuary and faced a Demigod, even a seriously injured one, the pressure would be quite great. To be honest, he did not have much confidence at all.
He had already thought about it. When his real body descended, he would only kill the giant toad. The attack on the Sanctuary would be left to his subordinates. His real body would not enter the Sanctuary of the Naga Demigod easily. Unless the battle went smoothly, he would not easily take the risk.
However, although he would not refuse, there were some things that he had to clarify before agreeing.
Lin Xiao asked his teacher without hesitation:
"If we cooperate and succeed in the end, how should the spoils be distributed?"
This was the most important thing. He had to say it in advance. Otherwise, it would be annoying in the end.
Wu Hai paused for a moment, turned around, and conveyed Lin Xiao's message to the head teacher of Class 1 and Class 2.
He spread his hands and said, "My students were the ones who completed the first part of this cooperation. My students were also the ones who severely injured the Naga Demigod. Now, only the last step is left. Therefore, my students have to take the biggest share of the spoils."
"This is a must."
Vice-Principal Xu immediately confirmed it. Class 1's head teacher, Qiao Liang, and Class 2's head teacher, Zheng Yifan, who were about to speak, opened their mouths but could not say anything for a long time.
