Chapter 116 Understand the situation and start hunting
After Fang Che eliminated the Thinker, he waited for a long time but did not receive an attack from the summoned Thinker.
This confused Fang Che.
Before coming, Li Xing had said that after the Iron Hand Group eliminated the Thinker summoned by the Historian, it wouldn't be long before the Historian would resummon the Thinker and launch a new round of attacks on the Iron Hand Group.
However, Fang Che did not wait for the Thinker this time.
Fang Che pondered for a moment and murmured, "Did the Historian change his attack direction?"
Thinking of this, Fang Che no longer waited for the Thinker to attack. Instead, he wrote down the Thinker's information, took out the Nailhead Seven Arrows Book, and began to bow.
After the bowing was complete, the Nailhead Seven Arrows Book had no reaction, which meant that the Thinker had not been summoned.
Fang Che was puzzled and murmured, "That's strange, why hasn't he been summoned yet? Did he give up attacking the Iron Hand Group?"
As Fang Che was pondering, the Third-Order Professional who had led the way earlier appeared outside the door.
Fang Che immediately got up, put away the items at the door, and asked, "What do you need me for?"
The Third-Order Professional replied with a worried expression, "We sent people to hunt down that summoned Thinker, but he mysteriously disappeared. This is an ability he had never shown before, so you need to be careful."
Fang Che was slightly stunned. Hadn't he just eliminated him?
Could it be that the way he eliminated the Thinker was different from how the Iron Hand Group eliminated the Thinker?
Fang Che decided to confirm and asked, "When did he disappear?"
The Third-Order Professional replied, "It should have been not long after you moved into this room."
Now Fang Che could be certain that the disappearance of the Thinker that this person was talking about meant that the Thinker had been eliminated by Fang Che.
It seemed that Fang Che's method of eliminating the Thinker was something the Iron Hand Group had never seen.
At the same time, Fang Che also understood that he came to tell him these things to exaggerate the Thinker's power to the Plane Will outside.
However, the Plane Will would definitely know about the Thinker being eliminated by Fang Che. This act of exaggerating the Thinker's strength would not be recognized by the Plane Will.
If he continued to use this excuse, he might be disliked by the Plane Will.
Therefore, Fang Che reminded him, "The mysterious disappearance of the Thinker might be because the Historian who summoned him encountered trouble, or perhaps this summoned Thinker encountered a natural enemy;
This Historian and Thinker may not necessarily possess powerful abilities. It's better to fight back hard and find a way to complete the mission."
Upon hearing this, the Third-Order Professional was surprised and uncertain.
Fang Che had been cooperating well with him before, so why did he suddenly stop cooperating now?
Does the Plane Will not want to keep hearing the Iron Hand Group complain?
It seems that he needs to restrain himself in the future and not overact.
So, the Third-Order Professional said, "We have already organized our forces and are preparing to launch a counterattack. We might not be able to look after you, so you must be careful!"
Fang Che smiled slightly and said, "I won't wander around. I hope the Iron Hand Group can achieve immediate success!"
The Third-Order Professional smiled and said, "I'll take your good wishes. I'll be leaving now."
"Take care."
After the Third-Order Professional left, Fang Che rearranged all the items, pondered for a moment, and murmured,
"Why doesn't this Historian summon the Thinker? Is it because my method of killing the Thinker is unique?"
Fang Che couldn't figure it out for a while, so he stopped thinking about it and controlled the Voodoo Doll to move quickly underground.
Through the Voodoo Doll, Fang Che gradually understood this Plane.
This Plane has many rare materials suitable for defensive Professionals and is in an undeveloped state.
The Professionals of the Iron Hand Group are stationed in these resource mining areas.
This Plane is inhabited by a group of winged humanoids who are skilled in attack. They are fearless of death and frantically attack the resource mining areas.
The Iron Hand Group is understaffed and cannot withstand too many attacks, often abandoning resource mining areas and then reorganizing forces to reoccupy them.
Fang Che did not intervene in the battle but tried to find places where Third-Order humanoids gathered.
After half an hour passed like this, Fang Che suddenly discovered that a spatial rift opened above the soil, and a group of winged humanoids went through it, heading to a nearby resource point.
Seeing this, Fang Che was somewhat worried about the situation of the Iron Hand Group.
When a Plane is invaded, the Plane Will will teleport Professionals to various locations to fight against the Intruders.
And the Intruders will seal off space to prevent enemies from teleporting.
The Iron Hand Group should seal off the spatial power near the resource minerals to prevent enemies from teleporting.
But now these winged humanoids can freely teleport into the areas occupied by the Iron Hand Group, which means that the Iron Hand Group has insufficient control over the surrounding space.
This is definitely not the destructive power that a Third-Order Historian can cause; other groups must have put in a lot of effort.
This situation cannot be blamed on other groups; it can only be blamed on the Iron Hand Group's incompetence.
Fang Che was too lazy to bother with these matters and continued to control the Voodoo Doll to search for enemies.
After a little less than half an hour passed like this, Fang Che saw that the number of Iron Hand Group Professionals had increased, and he could easily see some Fourth-Order Professionals.
This should be the frontline area where the Iron Hand Group is fighting the enemy.
As soon as he arrived here, Fang Che controlled the Voodoo Doll to emerge from underground and wrote a line of information on the ground:
"This Junior is a Temporary Plane Son. I want to go ahead and see. Can you provide a relatively safe passage for this Junior's Curse Tool?"
Not long after writing the message, a Fourth-Order Professional appeared out of thin air next to the Voodoo Doll.
The Fourth-Order Professional conjured a map out of thin air, pointed to a path, and explained:
"Recently, the enemy's patrol intensity in this area has been relatively low, so you can go through this place;
In addition, other groups, together with us, have jointly sealed off the Professionals of this Plane in other directions;
Now the mission difficulty has increased, and other groups are targeting us. You must not go to the places occupied by other groups, otherwise, this item will definitely be destroyed."
Upon seeing this information, Fang Che controlled the Voodoo Doll to bow in thanks, then drilled back into the ground and quickly left.
The Voodoo Doll moved cautiously all the way and soon passed through the areas with fewer patrolling enemies.
Next, the Voodoo Doll saw more winged humanoids patrolling.
The further he went, the more patrolling personnel there were, but the strength of the patrolling personnel gradually decreased.
Once there was no one around who could threaten the Voodoo Doll, Fang Che confidently controlled the Voodoo Doll to move, looking for those solitary Third-Order Professionals, and using the Nailhead Seven Arrows Book to hunt them down!
Now this Plane is experiencing war, and the Professionals here are under immense pressure, often having conflicts, and people frequently die.
Fang Che's hunting did not attract too much attention, but for safety's sake, Fang Che would change his location after hunting a certain number of Professionals.
+++
Chapter 117: The Historian Appears and Leaves
As Fang Che hunted down Third-Order Professionals, their souls automatically entered the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, causing gusts of Cold Wind (yin wind) to blow around him, attracting a lot of attention.
However, after Fang Che displayed the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, no one paid attention to his situation anymore.
After eliminating some more people, Fang Che looked through the barrier at the entrance and saw more than a dozen Fire Manipulators rushing out.
...
At this moment, in the area where the Thinker projection was eliminated, a spatial crack (rift) quietly opened.
The Historian quickly emerged from the spatial rift and activated a special item to reduce his presence.
Subsequently, the Historian took out a book for summoning historical figure projections and began exploring the surrounding situation.
The Historian believed that the fact his summoned Thinker could be eliminated so quietly meant that the enemy possessed powerful methods, and he might not be an opponent.
Moreover, this was an area occupied by the Iron Hand Group; even if the Iron Hand Group was unable to seal space, they still had the ability to eliminate a Third-Order Historian.
For the sake of his life, it would be best to give up on finding the truth behind the Thinker's elimination.
However, the Historian was unwilling.
That historical projection of the Thinker was the Historian's trump card and the foundation of his livelihood.
It was by relying on the Thinker's historical projection that the Historian was able to be hired by powerful organizations.
Without the Thinker's historical projection, the Historian's future development would be hindered.
If he didn't figure out what happened to the Thinker's historical projection, the Historian would not be reconciled!
As the Historian quietly made an Observe of the surroundings, a sparrow on a tree tilted its head, staring intently at the Historian's position.
Not long after, more than a dozen animals condensed from flames shot out from all directions, covering the area where the Historian was located.
In an instant, flames soared into the sky, rapidly incinerating the surrounding vegetation.
However, the flames did not spread too far outward, continuously burning within a fixed range, with no signs of combustion on the surrounding dry grass.
Within the flames, the Historian's figure quietly appeared.
The Historian waved the book in his hand, instantly summoning more than a dozen Third-Order historical figure projections.
Among them, two defensive Professionals immediately released two protective shields, enveloping the Historian.
The Historian glanced around with reluctance, crushed an item, and instantly vanished from his original spot.
As soon as the Historian left, the summoned Professionals quickly rushed in all directions.
The next second, the surrounding flames distorted, rapidly condensing into fiery tongues that wrapped around these historical figure projections.
"Boom ~ Boom ~"
A series of explosions rang out, and all the fiery snakes burst apart.
Some of the historical figure projections' bodies were impacted by the explosions, developing cracks that then shattered like porcelain, eventually dissipating into energy.
The remaining historical figure projections also developed tiny cracks, but their bodies did not shatter; instead, they continued to run in all directions.
Fiery snakes flew out from the dense forest again, coiling around the historical figure projections.
"Boom ~ Boom ~"
The fiery snakes exploded, and more historical figure projections died.
Finally, only one historical figure projection, skilled in evasion, avoided all the fiery snake attacks and ran in one direction, conjuring an illusory drill in his hand, stirring the surrounding energy.
Ahead of him, a Fire Manipulator quickly retreated, but his speed was relatively slow.
Just as the historical figure projection was about to catch up to the Fire Manipulator, a sparrow on a tree flew towards the historical figure projection's neck, transforming into a ferret in mid-air.
The next second, the ferret made contact with the historical figure projection and bit off its neck with an open mouth.
The historical figure projection's body shattered like porcelain, finally disappearing as energy.
And the ferret transformed into a Third-Order Professional.
Immediately after, the surrounding Fire Manipulators walked out and smiled and nodded at the Third-Order Professional, saying, "Thank you."
The Third-Order Professional shook his head and said, "I am a Beast King Professional who chose a transformation development path, which is more effective against Wind Manipulator Professionals. This is nothing;
However, we failed to keep the Historian. Since the Historian escaped this time, he certainly won't come back, which is quite troublesome now."
The Fire Manipulator saved by the Beast King calmly said, "The Historian's item broke through our spatial blockade, so we can't be blamed for this. Just report it as it is."
The Beast King Professional nodded gently and said, "Alright, then you all go back and report. I'll stay here and continue monitoring."
Subsequently, the Beast King Professional transformed into a woodpecker, flew to a tree, and diligently pecked at the trunk.
The Fire Manipulators also left the area one after another.
Inside the cave, after Fang Che eliminated some more people, the Third-Order Professional responsible for receiving Fang Che came to him again.
Fang Che opened the barrier at the entrance, invited him in, and then curiously asked, "Is there something wrong?"
The Third-Order Professional glanced at the Ten Thousand Soul Banner in the room and sighed:
"Just now, the Historian who summoned the Thinker personally came to the place where the Thinker disappeared. We tried to eliminate him, but he escaped!"
"What a pity." Fang Che showed a disappointed expression on his face, but he was very happy inside.
If the Historian was pursued, he would definitely retaliate. At that time, the Historian would surely summon more historical figure projections.
After eliminating these historical figure projections, although their souls could not be collected, the Nailhead Seven Arrows Book could collect exclusive energy.
The professions in history are myriad and strange, and many professions are not easily encountered in reality. Fang Che could take this opportunity to collect more, which would give him more means to deal with enemies in the future.
The Third-Order Professional continued, "The Historian is not good at direct combat and often sends others out. His sudden arrival this time confirms that your previous guess was correct;
The disappearance of that Thinker's historical projection before was definitely not a hidden ability of the Historian; it was that the Historian encountered trouble!"
Fang Che was very clear about this, after all, he was the one who eliminated the Thinker's historical projection.
Now that the Iron Hand Group confirmed this, Fang Che reminded, "Since the Thinker's historical projection encountered trouble, then the Historian is not so formidable. The Iron Hand Group should strive to complete the task!"
The Third-Order Professional smiled slightly and said, "Without the Thinker continuously deepening the damage, those brothers whose thoughts turned into animals are gradually recovering;
Now we don't need to specifically hire a Thinker to help; we can treat everyone with medicinal pills;
It won't be long before the Iron Hand Group's combat power can recover, and then they can rebuild their defensive system;
However, with the Historian still alive, there is still a huge variable. I came this time to ask for your help!"
At this point, the Third-Order Professional's gaze once again fell upon the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.
Currently, the Iron Hand Group did not understand the Historian's situation, only having some guesses.
To complete the mission, it was best to eliminate the Historian.
But the Historian was elusive, and coupled with the Plane Will paying attention to the Iron Hand Group through Fang Che, the Iron Hand Group could not possibly bully the weak and send a Fourth-Order Professional to assassinate him.
Now they could only ask Fang Che for help, asking him to contact a Soul Master to see what methods the Soul Master might have.
+++
Chapter 118 The Desperate Historian
Fang Che immediately understood the Third-Order Professional's intentions when he saw him staring at the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.
Fang Che would not kill the Historian now, but he could take this opportunity to eliminate the summoned historical figure projections.
So, Fang Che smiled and said, "You can tell me the Historian's information and the information of the historical figure projections summoned by the Historian. I'll figure out a way to deal with them!"
The Third-Order Professional grinned and quickly handed a storage ring to Fang Che, introducing, "This contains all the information you need, as well as some other resources. If the Historian summons new historical figure projections in the future, I'll inform you promptly."
Fang Che took the storage ring and readily promised, "I will handle this matter as soon as possible, please rest assured."
"Then I'll take my leave." The Third-Order Professional saw Fang Che's confident demeanor, nodded reassuringly, and turned to depart.
After the Third-Order Professional left, Fang Che set up defensive items and then opened the storage ring.
The storage ring contained almost all exclusive resources that a Soul Master could use.
And as the core Professional of the Emperor Plane, the Soul Master was revered by countless people.
Anything related to a Soul Master could be sold at a high price.
In the future, when Fang Che met Gu Ning, he could exchange for some items he needed.
After a quick check of the resources, Fang Che took out a notebook from the storage ring and carefully flipped through it.
The notebook recorded information on all historical figures summoned by the Historian. Although it didn't have names, it did record their professions and appearances, allowing Fang Che to eliminate them at any time.
These historical figures mastered many powerful professions, such as the Wind Gatherer Professional, who could control external breezes to condense various invisible weapons or defensive gear.
Wind Gatherers left no traces after killing, so most Wind Gatherers chose to develop along an offensive path, making them excellent assassins.
Fang Che had never seen a Wind Gatherer in his cultivation until now.
Besides Wind Gatherers, there were many other unusual professions Fang Che had never encountered.
Flipping to the end, Fang Che found the Historian's information, with the recording time being today.
After reading all this information, Fang Che took out paper and pen, wrote down the information of all the professions, and then bowed to the Nailhead Seven Arrows Book!
However, Fang Che found that many historical figure projections had not been summoned, and after bowing, the Nailhead Seven Arrows Book showed no reaction.
Fang Che experimented in turns for a while, and when he started to get impatient, the words of the Nailhead Seven Arrows Book transformed into long nails, piercing the white paper recording the profession information.
Fang Che happily tore the white paper, and then the Nailhead Seven Arrows Book quickly absorbed the Professional energy.
The Ten Thousand Soul Banner still showed no reaction and could not absorb the souls of these summoned targets.
Next, Fang Che continued to bow, continuing to eliminate the summoned historical figures.
At the same time, in an underground space, the Historian, with red eyes, continuously summoned historical figure projections, muttering, "Revenge! Revenge! I must have revenge!"
And just as the Historian bowed his head to summon historical figure projections, in a corner, the figure of a historical figure slowly dimmed until it completely vanished into nothingness!
The Historian did not notice this problem and continued to summon.
After a long time, the Historian, having exhausted his energy, slowly looked up and observed the summoned historical figure projections. Just as he was about to issue a revenge command, he realized that there were too few historical figure projections summoned!
In the past, when the Historian exhausted his energy, he would definitely summon more historical figures than this.
A hint of confusion flashed in the Historian's eyes, and he lowered his head to flip through the summoning book.
A moment later, the Historian discovered a blank page. The Historian instantly thought of the previously disappeared Thinker contract, and his expression became very grim.
Flipping through a few more pages quickly, the Historian suddenly noticed that the text on a certain page was being eroded by the power of time, slowly fading.
The Historian quickly looked up at a certain summoned target and saw that the summoned target's figure was slowly becoming illusory.
The Historian took two steps back in alarm, saying in disbelief, "How can this be? What kind of death is this?"
A moment later, the summoned historical figure projection disappeared. The Historian quickly lowered his head and found that the faded text had completely vanished, leaving only a blank page.
The Historian felt even more terrified. Immediately after, the Historian saw another historical figure projection slowly becoming ethereal and disappearing.
The Historian hurriedly shouted, "Retrieve!"
The ethereal historical figure projection transformed into a ray of light and drilled into the summoning book.
The Historian flipped to the page of the contract where he had just retrieved the historical figure, but found that the text content had disappeared!
The Historian shouted in alarm, "Everyone come back!"
The next second, all the summoned historical figure projections transformed into light and drilled into the book.
The Historian nervously looked at the contracts of those historical figure projections and soon found contracts corroded by the power of time again.
The Historian quickly collected the summoning book into his Niwan Palace to prevent it from contacting the outside world, but the contracts recorded inside the book were still slowly disappearing.
Next, the Historian continuously used other methods to try and prevent the contracts in the book from disappearing, but all failed!
After all the historical figure contracts that had just been summoned disappeared, the Historian nervously flipped through the remaining contracts.
Upon confirming that the remaining contracts had not disappeared, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately after, a smile uglier than a cry appeared on the Historian's face.
Now, as long as he summoned a historical figure, the contract would disappear. To prevent the contract from disappearing, he could not summon.
But if he couldn't summon historical figures, how much strength could he exert?
The Historian felt a bit of despair. If he had known this, he wouldn't have accepted the mission here.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
The Historian quickly adjusted his emotions, opened the door, looked at the man outside, and asked, "What is it?"
A man answered with a serious expression, "The Iron Hand Group has dispatched many low-level Professionals to occupy the resource mining area. You need to summon Thinkers to continue dealing with them."
The Historian replied worriedly, "I've already sent a batch of historical figure projections over there, but their defensive strength has suddenly increased significantly, and I can't cause more damage."
Upon hearing this, the man's expression became even more serious. After a moment, the man sighed, "The Iron Hand Group is similar in strength to us. If we can hire you, they naturally can also hire Professionals with special talents. Just do your best."
The Historian nodded gently, "Okay."
After that, the man turned and left.
After closing the door, the Historian immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Currently, the Historian had no ability to deal with the Iron Hand Group, but he couldn't show it, otherwise this group would definitely deal with the Historian.
Therefore, the Historian needed to pretend to be calm, deceive others, then muddle through this mission and escape this place.
Afterward, the Historian took out an item that could tear space, connected it to the Iron Hand Group's area, and then threw some useless items over, pretending to transmit historical figure projections.
+++
Chapter 119 The Historian Leaves
After Fang Che eliminated some historical figure projections with the Nailhead Seven Arrows Book, he quickly returned to the state where he couldn't lock onto targets.
After Fang Che bowed dozens more times and still couldn't lock onto a target, he gave up on eliminating the summoned historical figures and instead began eliminating the Third-Order Professionals of this Plane.
In the time that followed, Fang Che either cultivated or used the Nailhead Seven Arrows Book to eliminate enemies.
However, Fang Che only eliminated the Third-Order Professionals of this Plane; as for the historical figure projections summoned by the Historian, he couldn't lock onto them at all.
Fang Che guessed that the Historian had likely left this Plane, or it was possible that the method the Nailhead Seven Arrows Book used to eliminate historical figure projections was unique, leading to an unexpected situation on the Historian's side.
Regardless of the reason, Fang Che decided to keep this Historian alive.
Only after Fang Che eliminated those historical figures with rare professions would he go to eliminate this Historian.
Time flew by, and soon more than ten days had passed.
On this day, the Third-Order Professional who had received Fang Che came to his room again and said with a smile, "Fang Che, your cultivation time for next month is almost here. We'd like to discuss something with you: please stay on this Plane to cultivate for a month to fulfill your contract with the Iron Hand Group. What do you think?"
Fang Che did not agree with this.
Before he came, this Third-Order Professional had said that as long as he stayed on this Plane, Fang Che could cultivate freely, and it would not count towards his cultivation time.
If he were to change his cultivation location to here now, Fang Che would be at a disadvantage.
Fang Che was about to refuse when he suddenly realized that the Iron Hand Group couldn't have thought of such a problem, and the sudden mention of this matter might have another reason.
So, Fang Che immediately asked, "Is it that I'm no longer needed here?"
The Third-Order Professional did not answer directly but spoke in a roundabout way:
"The Iron Hand Group's low-level Professionals have mostly recovered their strength, and the historical figures summoned by the Historian have not appeared; we have also just established a defensive blockade system, so enemies can no longer teleport over to cause destruction as before; even if the mission is not successful now, the mission progress will be similar to that of other groups."
Upon hearing these words, Fang Che understood that the Iron Hand Group no longer needed him to stay here.
In most cases, when multiple groups perform missions in the same location, if all missions fail, none of them will be disliked by the Plane Will.
The Third-Order Professional's statement that the mission progress of each group was similar meant that the Iron Hand Group was preparing to fight other groups to a mutual defeat.
If they were lucky, they might even complete the mission. In short, Fang Che was no longer needed here.
Fang Che pondered for a moment, recalling a contract he had signed when he went to cultivate on Other Planes last time, which mentioned a conquered Plane.
Li Xing had promised Fang Che that he would allow Fang Che to go to that conquered Plane to cultivate, and also permitted Fang Che to freely kill the Professionals of that Plane.
If Fang Che did not stay here to cultivate, he would be dispatched to that Plane.
However, Fang Che was not sure if there were still Professionals worth hunting on that Plane, so he asked, "The Vice Leader previously promised me to go to a certain Plane to cultivate and allowed me to kill the Professionals of that Plane. I want to ask, how does the number of Professionals on that Plane compare to here?"
The Third-Order Professional replied, "When I communicated with the Vice Leader, I learned that three days ago, there were no living beings left on that Plane."
Upon hearing this, Fang Che immediately replied, "I am willing to stay here to cultivate for one month."
The Third-Order Professional instantly understood that Fang Che, in addition to cultivating, also wanted to stay here to kill.
Just as he was about to remind Fang Che of the difficulty of killing, the corner of his eye suddenly caught sight of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.
The Ten Thousand Soul Banner had absorbed many souls recently, so Fang Che must have a special killing method that didn't require going out.
Thus, the Third-Order Professional swallowed his reminder, took out a contract, and said, "The cultivation time will start from midnight on the first day of next month and end at midnight on the first day of the month after next. You will be teleported away then. Let's sign a contract."
"Alright." Fang Che nodded gently, released a burst of energy, and infused it into the contract, instantly completing the signing.
The Third-Order Professional took back the contract and said with a smile, "Fang Che, you are free to move within the Iron Hand Group's blockade area. I'll take my leave."
"See you."
Afterward, Fang Che rearranged his items and continued to kill and cultivate.
...
In the underground space, a man entered the Historian's room and said with a serious expression, "The Iron Hand Group's occupied area has been blockaded, and you cannot stop the Iron Hand Group's actions. We hope you summon Thinkers to the front line to help us complete the killing mission."
"No!" The Historian refused the man's proposal without hesitation.
Currently, the Historian was unable to summon Thinkers to fight. To avoid exposing his strength, he had to terminate the mission and leave quickly.
To prevent the man from becoming suspicious, the Historian explained, "You hired me only to harass the Iron Hand Group, not to complete killing missions."
Upon hearing this, the man immediately took out a contract and a storage ring, and said with a smile, "We have already prepared the next employment contract, and the price will surely satisfy you."
The Historian shook his head and refused, "I'm sorry, I had already arranged with someone else to perform some Other Missions before I came."
The man smiled and said, "The price is negotiable, we can give you more."
The Historian shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, it's not about money. I've already made an appointment with someone else in advance, so I can't break the contract."
The man was a bit disappointed, put away the contract and storage ring, and asked, "Then let's not talk about the contract. When are you leaving? I'll see you off."
The Historian calmly replied, "Let's go now. I can't help you anymore, and there's no point in staying here."
The man nodded, took out an item and handed it to the Historian, saying, "I'll take my leave."
The Historian took the item and nodded gently, "See you."
After the man left, the Historian put away the books in the room, put on his cloak and mask, and crushed the item in his hand.
The next second, a cloud of mist enveloped the Historian, and he instantly vanished from the spot.
In the Emperor Plane, the Historian, who had been teleported to a certain Mission Hall, felt the familiar energy aura around him and relaxed slightly.
Then, the Historian quickly left the place and arrived at a secluded area, where he summoned historical figure projections.
The Historian stared at the historical figure projections for a long time, then breathed a sigh of relief, muttering to himself, "The creatures on that Plane are crazy. It must be that the Plane has a problem, which affected the historical figures I summoned. If I had known this, I wouldn't have gone."
After saying this, the Historian tensed up slightly and quickly summoned all the historical figure projections from the book, checking them carefully to avoid any problems.
Immediately after, the Historian saw the historical figure projections inexplicably disappear once again!
+++
Chapter 120 Mapping
The Historian watched the constantly disappearing historical figure projections, quickly collected them into a book, and ran wildly towards the Mission Hall.
The Historian believed that no matter what trouble he encountered, as long as he returned to the Mission Hall, he would receive the Plane Will's protection and be free from all troubles.
However, after running for a moment, the Plane Will suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back, then fell to the ground, losing all signs of life.
...
In the Plane Cave, after Fang Che eliminated the valueless Historian, he focused his attention on the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.
However, the Ten Thousand Soul Banner remained still, and no souls were attracted to it.
At this moment, Fang Che was certain that the Historian had indeed left this Plane.
Fang Che picked up the notebook that recorded the historical figure projections and directly destroyed it.
The historical figure projections with rare professions on the notebook had already been eliminated by Fang Che, so this notebook was useless to him.
Afterward, Fang Che continued to eliminate the winged Third-Order Humanoid Creatures in this Plane.
After dealing with a portion of the solitary Third-Order Humanoid Creatures, Fang Che manipulated the Voodoo Doll to continue its actions.
Suddenly, through the Voodoo Doll's vision, Fang Che discovered a mineral vein.
Upon seeing this, Fang Che immediately became interested.
During this time, Fang Che had eliminated many Humanoid Creatures, but the most they had on them were some crudely refined pills and items, which were of no value.
Now that he had discovered a mineral vein, he might be able to collect some rare raw materials.
Thus, Fang Che manipulated the Voodoo Doll to wander around the mineral vein, and not long after, Fang Che discovered a material that most professions could use.
And this material could be used to strengthen the Revenge Evil Mirror.
Fang Che manipulated the Voodoo Doll to collect the materials and continued to search for resources nearby.
When the Voodoo Doll had collected all the resources in the mining area, its storage space was also filled.
Fang Che immediately manipulated the Voodoo Doll to return.
The Voodoo Doll moved quickly in areas with more Professionals, using the aura from these Professionals to mask its own aura.
Not long after, the Voodoo Doll arrived at an uninhabited area.
Based on Fang Che's experience, an uninhabited area nearby was usually a battle zone between two armies.
The uninhabited area Fang Che had encountered before was not in this location, so the Iron Hand Group must have advanced further.
Fang Che pondered for a moment, then did not continue to manipulate the Voodoo Doll, but instead found a place to hide.
Since the Iron Hand Group was advancing, it wouldn't be long before the Professionals of this Plane would be defeated.
The defeated Plane Professionals would surely choose to flee, and in their escape, they wouldn't pay attention to too many things, making it easier for the Voodoo Doll to slip through.
Next, Fang Che waited silently.
Not long after, Fang Che heard a violent explosion in the distance through the Voodoo Doll.
The sound of the explosion constantly approached the Voodoo Doll, and then a group of winged Humanoid Creatures appeared in the sky.
They covered the sunlight like dark clouds, moving quickly forward.
Behind them, there were continuous explosions.
A few minutes later, Fang Che finally saw what was behind these Humanoid Creatures through the Voodoo Doll.
At this time, behind them, Fourth-Order Humanoid Creatures were fiercely fighting with the Iron Hand Group's Fourth-Order Professionals, preventing the Iron Hand Group members from slaughtering.
Not long after, all the Professionals moved away from this area, and only then did the Voodoo Doll continue to move towards Fang Che's location.
After walking for a short while, Fang Che, through the Voodoo Doll, discovered that the Iron Hand Group's Professionals were setting up a new defensive line.
Fang Che immediately manipulated the Voodoo Doll to emerge from underground and write information on the ground: "I am the Temporary Plane Son. This puppet is my item. Please do not attack."
Not long after writing the information, a Fourth-Order Professional appeared next to the Voodoo Doll.
This person was the one who had previously provided the Voodoo Doll with a safe moving route.
The Fourth-Order Professional looked at the Voodoo Doll with a slight surprise, not expecting this item to still be alive after being in the sealed area for so long.
The Fourth-Order Professional spoke, "Can you help draw a map of that area?"
Fang Che immediately manipulated the Voodoo Doll to write information on the ground: "No problem, I'll draw the map right away and give it to the Manager next to me."
The Fourth-Order Professional nodded lightly and said, "Be quick."
Then, the Fourth-Order Professional quickly left.
Fang Che continued to manipulate the Voodoo Doll, while also taking out a recording jade pendant and drawing the map with divided attention.
After some time, Fang Che heard a voice from outside the door: "I'm here to pick up the map."
Fang Che took the jade pendant with the recorded information to the door, closed the door's item, and said to the Third-Order Professional outside, "Please come in."
Then, Fang Che continued to draw the map, walked into the room, and sat down.
The Third-Order Professional found a place to sit down and did not disturb Fang Che, just waited quietly.
After waiting for some time, a hint of surprise appeared on the Third-Order Professional's face.
Why wasn't this map finished yet? Had Fang Che's item been to many places?
After more time passed, Fang Che stopped recording the map and handed the jade pendant to the Third-Order Professional.
The Third-Order Professional took the jade pendant, looked at it, and exclaimed:
"Our people send scouting items over, and they can at most understand one-twentieth of the map's area before being discovered by the enemy. Your item is truly amazing!"
Fang Che humbly said, "It's just good luck. I hope the information in this map is useful to the Iron Hand Group."
"Useful, very useful!" The Third-Order Professional chuckled and put away the jade pendant, smiling:
"We will tell the Vice Leader about this matter, and the Vice Leader will record a strategy for you. I will take my leave."
Fang Che nodded and said, "Take care."
Not long after the Third-Order Professional left, the Voodoo Doll also returned to this place.
Fang Che collected the resources gathered by the Voodoo Doll, then manipulated the Voodoo Doll to continue towards the sealed area.
After some time, the Voodoo Doll arrived at the edge of the sealed area and once again emerged from underground.
Fang Che was about to manipulate the Voodoo Doll to write information when the Fourth-Order Professional appeared in front of the Voodoo Doll with a chuckle, smiling:
"The map you sent earlier was very good. Thank you. Although there is no suitable passage route now, we can attract the attention of the enemy's Fourth-Order Professionals for you."
Then, the Fourth-Order Professional released energy, condensed a map, pointed to a certain route on the map, and explained: "In two quarters of an hour, you will pass through here."
The Voodoo Doll bowed in gratitude, then burrowed underground and headed to the passage location mentioned by the Fourth-Order Professional.
At this time, in the defensive line on the other side, a group of winged Fourth-Order Humanoid Creatures gathered together, discussing various pieces of information.
A Fourth-Order Humanoid Creature spoke: "The situation here is the same as what we encountered before. Many Third-Order warriors died inexplicably in their homes, and we cannot replenish our losses. The front line probably won't hold for long!"
