Wu Meng's Substitute Puppet was buried deep beneath the earth under the stove in this kitchen.
It was so hidden simply because he felt that such a place was inconspicuous and safer.
Even if his enemies infiltrated this place and searched the entire house, they would hardly dig three feet into the ground, break through the stove, and unearth the wooden figure, would they?
With this Substitute Puppet, when Wu Meng suffered a fatal wound, he would instantly switch places with it, transferring the injuries from his body onto the puppet.
The biggest disadvantage, if one could call it that, of having the Substitute Puppet buried beneath the stove, was that Wu Meng would emerge covered in soot and ash.
However, for someone like Wu Meng, who went to great lengths to survive, this minor flaw was hardly an issue.
After all, when Man Li led the elite forces of the Demon Palace in a surprise attack on the Enemy-breaking Camp, Wu Meng had hidden himself in a latrine for a whole hour.
