Chapter 316: A Plane with Many Formations
Li Xing heard Fang Che's request and said, "No one knows about your promotion to Sixth-Order yet, so no Six-Order Professional has asked you to help them gather intelligence.
How about this, I'll spread the news of your promotion to Sixth-Order first, and you can wait in my room."
"As you command."
Afterward, Fang Che followed Li Xing into the room and waited patiently.
Li Xing, on the other hand, took out a pile of communication tokens, activated them simultaneously, and spread the news of Fang Che's promotion to Sixth-Order, also stating Fang Che's request.
Not long after, a communication token transmitted a message: "I meet the requirements here and need Fang Che's help. What resources does Fang Che need?"
Li Xing immediately looked up at Fang Che.
Fang Che also quickly took out a list of some materials he had written down, handed it to Li Xing, and said,
"These are only some of the resources this Junior needs. Whoever offers the highest price, I will go to that place."
Li Xing took Fang Che's list, calculated its value, and then transmitted the information.
Next, more people sent messages requesting Fang Che's help, and Li Xing informed them all of Fang Che's quoted prices.
Not long after, different offers were transmitted.
After listening to all the information, Li Xing recorded it and handed it to Fang Che, saying, "These two groups offered the highest prices, both ten times the value of the materials you provided.
The enemies these two groups face are very strong; they can only rely on the last one-thousandth of the area to resist and are likely on the verge of defeat.
Moreover, they require that you only get ten percent of the resources if you help them stabilize their defensive line, half the resources if you help them re-expand their defensive line, and all the resources only if you completely defeat the enemy."
After checking the information, Fang Che said, "This Junior wants to go to Plane 037."
Li Xing frowned upon hearing this and said, "To be honest, both Planes are very dangerous, and I don't want you to go.
If you must choose one, you should choose Plane 012. Why choose 037?
The enemy has set up countless Array Formations in Plane 037, and no one knows their effects. If an Array Formation activates and interrupts the teleportation, you might never be able to return.
I even suspect that there are Array Formations set up there that allow entry but no exit, specifically designed to trick people into going to their deaths."
Fang Che smiled and said, "This Junior is skilled at breaking Array Formations. Additionally, this Junior has some special treasures and is not afraid of these dangers.
Therefore, this Junior is willing to try this Plane. Of course, this Junior needs a higher reward."
Upon hearing this, Li Xing thought of the Concession Token and then considered that Fang Che might be a Soul Master.
Since Fang Che could produce a treasure like the Concession Token, he should also have other life-saving items.
Thinking of this, Li Xing nodded and said, "I will contact them now. Please wait a moment."
After exchanging words on the communication token for a moment, Li Xing said, "They can provide a maximum of fifteen times the resources and cannot raise the price further. If you think that's acceptable, you can sign the contract and record the items you need.
The contract stipulates that you can leave at any time. As for resources, it's still ten percent for stabilizing the defensive line, fifty percent for expanding the defensive line, and all for eliminating the enemy."
Fang Che nodded and said, "No problem."
Then, Fang Che took out a list of some items he had recorded and handed it to Li Xing.
Li Xing quickly signed the contract and gave it to Fang Che.
Once Fang Che confirmed there were no issues, he left his curse energy.
Immediately after, Li Xing collected the contract in his Niwan Palace, communicated with the Plane Will, and signed the contract.
Then, Li Xing took out the contract and a token, placing them together. The contract instantly merged into the token.
Li Xing handed the token to Fang Che and said, "When you return, give me the token fragments. I need to ask them for an introduction fee.
Once we receive the introduction fee, we will give you thirty percent. I hope you return immediately if you sense danger and are not swayed by greed."
Fang Che took the token and smiled, "Don't worry, I will pay attention to my safety."
Subsequently, Fang Che went to Iron Hand Academy's teleportation Array Formation with the token and placed the token on his forehead.
As the teleportation Array Formation activated, the token absorbed spatial energy and released a mist, enveloping Fang Che's body.
When the mist dissipated, Fang Che had already arrived on the highest mountain peak.
The top of the mountain was flat, and many despairing Professionals were gathered there.
Beyond the mountain peak, a massive number of Array Formations were set up, each emitting a terrifying power.
Fang Che turned to look at the teleportation Array Formation beside him and found that the Emperor Plane's teleportation Array Formation had lost most of its effectiveness, almost coming to a standstill.
At this moment, a Sixth-Order Array Master walked up to Fang Che and said emotionally,
"Listen to me, the enemy wants the Emperor Plane's Professionals to come here to die, so they deliberately left a gap.
However, after my improvements, Professionals who arrive here can be teleported back if they stay for less than an incense stick's time; if they exceed an incense stick's time, they will be trapped here forever.
You only have one incense stick's worth of time to act. After one incense stick, if you are not confident in eliminating the enemy, please leave here and avenge us in the future.
The introduction fee I'm giving is not much, but when you eliminate more Flame Sea Plane Professionals in the future, you can go to my group and claim the resources I have stored."
Fang Che looked at the man's firm and fearless gaze, remained silent for a moment, then asked, "I am Fang Che. May I ask your name?"
The Sixth-Order Array Master replied, "Zhang Chunyi."
Fang Che nodded slightly and said, "I will remember that name."
Then, Fang Che walked towards the outside of the mountain peak to observe the surrounding Array Formations.
Zhang Chunyi looked at Fang Che's back and was slightly stunned.
Zhang Chunyi had thought that Fang Che, after saying those words, would be eager to leave, but he unexpectedly took the initiative to observe the Array Formations.
This was different from Zhang Chunyi's expectation.
However, Zhang Chunyi quickly adjusted his state and took out half an incense stick to light.
Zhang Chunyi was doing this to prevent any sudden changes in the enemy's Array Formations, giving himself more time to react.
On the other side, Fang Che had already left the mountain peak and arrived at the area covered by Array Formations below.
After observing the Array Formation's situation, Fang Che immediately found a flaw in the Array Formation and stepped inside.
After walking for a moment within the Array Formation, avoiding everyone's sight, Fang Che extended his hand and touched the Array Formation.
The Array Formation was instantly activated, and terrifying pressure enveloped Fang Che, causing the surrounding space to distort.
However, when this pressure came into contact with Fang Che, it lost all its power.
This was because the Super Immunity skill had taken effect!
A happy smile instantly appeared on Fang Che's face.
Fang Che's prediction was correct: an Array Formation must have many people involved, with different areas set up separately.
Finally, the Array Formations set up by different people were connected to form the current Array Formation.
And the people who set up the Array Formation must include those whose strength was inferior to Fang Che's.
An Array Formation set up with the participation of weaker individuals would carry the aura of the weak. After the Array Formations were connected, the flaws of these weaker individuals were eliminated, making it impossible for even stronger individuals to find loopholes.
Unfortunately, this Array Formation, set up with the participation of weaker individuals, was directly countered by Fang Che's Super Immunity skill!
+++
Chapter 317 Spring Water Formation
Under the influence of the Super Immunity skill, the weak could not harm Fang Che by any means, and this powerful formation, which involved the weak, also lost its effectiveness.
For the formation to be effective again, the connections between the various formations must be broken, and Fang Che must be ensured to enter the formation set up by a Six-Order Professional.
However, Fang Che's Observe ability was relatively strong, so it was impossible for him to enter a formation set up by a Six-Order Professional.
In addition, the strong liked to direct the weak, so this powerful formation was probably mostly set up by the weak, and there wouldn't be too many formations that could truly threaten Fang Che.
Afterward, Fang Che threw out a Voodoo Doll to understand the situation of the formation.
Fang Che also left the place and went elsewhere to hide, to avoid being discovered by the enemy too early.
Not long after, Fang Che understood the general situation of this formation through the Voodoo Doll.
This formation belonged to a spring-shaped formation.
The most crucial part of a Spring Array was the core spring eye position; other positions were not important.
The characteristic of a Spring Array was like spring water; the formation, like spring water, would continuously overflow and flow to lower places.
Even if the formation in a lower place was destroyed, the power of the formation could be transmitted through overflowing to repair the damaged area.
Of course, for spring water to overflow, it needed to find a relatively low-lying place, and for the formation to overflow, it also needed a relatively low terrain.
The terrain within the formation was very easy to handle.
As long as an Inversion Formation was set up in advance, even the highest peak of a Plane could be used as a basin.
Once the Inversion Formation was successfully set up, the Spring Array could continuously expand the formation.
This type of Spring Array was relatively difficult to set up, but easier to break in the early stages.
However, if one was not careful and allowed the Spring Array to drag on to the later stages, it would require hundreds of times more power to break it.
Any Six-Order Professional who came here would find it difficult to solve the problem.
However, Fang Che was an anomaly.
The Spring Array, by utilizing the terrain, could eliminate all enemies in lower places; the lower the enemy's position, the more intense the attack they would endure.
However, during the attack process of the Spring Array, energy would be consumed!
And the energy was provided by the person who set up the formation.
As long as the enemy was eliminated, or the enemy's energy was consumed, the Spring Array would collapse on its own!
It was difficult to eliminate enemies in the Spring Array because the enemies were at the highest point of the Spring Array, and most people found it difficult to cross the Spring Array to reach the enemy.
Even if Fang Che understood them through the Voodoo Doll, he couldn't use the Nailhead Seven Arrows Book to eliminate them because it was difficult for Fang Che to seize the enemy's corpse.
As long as the corpse remained, Fang Che's secret would be exposed.
However, Fang Che could use the method of consuming energy, which was suitable for destroying this Spring Array, and the core lay in the Super Immunity skill!
After Fang Che carefully observed for a moment through the Voodoo Doll, he quickly found the lowest point of the Spring Array.
Fang Che immediately set off.
After walking for a moment, Zhang Chunyi's voice suddenly came from afar: "Come back quickly, time is almost up! If you're any later, you won't be able to leave!"
Fang Che heard this but ignored it, continuing to walk towards the lowest point of the Spring Array.
Not long after, Fang Che stepped into the lowest point of the Spring Array, instantly feeling a terrifying aura of destruction.
Immediately following, a powerful energy directly struck Fang Che.
The Super Immunity skill instantly took effect, all destructive power dissipated completely, not even damaging Fang Che's clothes.
Fang Che sat down where he was, manipulating the Voodoo Doll to observe the surroundings, to avoid enemy sneak attacks.
Fang Che's unharmed state enraged the Spring Array, and an even more terrifying power gathered, attempting to destroy Fang Che.
However, these energies completely lost their effectiveness when facing Fang Che.
At this moment on the mountain peak, Zhang Chunyi grew increasingly anxious as Fang Che still hadn't returned.
Just then, a guarding Fifth-Order Professional suddenly shouted, "Mr. Zhang, come here quickly and take a look!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chunyi immediately ran over and, following the direction of the Fifth-Order Professional's finger, saw the location where energy was converging.
Zhang Chunyi glanced at this location and sighed, "Only Fang Che went there just now; he must have triggered the formation."
Everyone around bowed their heads in silent mourning upon hearing these words.
They had personally witnessed the power of the Spring Array; a Six-Order Professional skilled in defense would be eliminated within half an incense stick's time if they entered.
If one chose to escape, the Spring Array would pursue even more fiercely, leading to a quicker death.
Fang Che was just a Curse Master; even if he knew some Array Master knowledge, he wouldn't live for too long.
After a moment of silent mourning, everyone stopped paying attention to Fang Che's location, not wanting to witness Fang Che's death.
Only the Fifth-Order Professional responsible for monitoring this direction was forced to keep an eye on it.
Time flew by, and soon half an incense stick's time passed; the Fifth-Order Professional looked at the destructive energy still converging there, feeling a slight surprise.
The Fifth-Order Professional didn't expect Fang Che to last this long.
However, in the Fifth-Order Professional's mind, even if he lasted longer, it wouldn't change the fate of death, so the Fifth-Order Professional did not speak out.
However, after some more time passed, the Fifth-Order Professional saw that the energy was still converging, and a glimmer of hope instantly arose in his heart, and he shouted, "Mr. Zhang, come here quickly."
Zhang Chunyi quickly walked to the Fifth-Order Professional's side, looking at the still converging energy, and asked with some disbelief, "Has the energy been converging all this time?"
The Fifth-Order Professional replied somewhat excitedly, "Yes, Fang Che might still be able to destroy the enemy's Spring Array!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chunyi felt a glimmer of hope rising in his heart, while also nervously clenching his fists.
A moment later, Zhang Chunyi took a deep breath and said, "Keep an eye on this place. I'll go prepare materials. If this Spring Array can change, perhaps it can be destroyed!"
After saying this, Zhang Chunyi turned and left. The surrounding Professionals all looked towards the direction where the energy was converging, silently praying for Fang Che and for themselves.
The energy was still converging.
At this moment, in the core of the Spring Array, the many Professionals of the Yan Hai Plane had serious expressions, and also some confusion.
A moment later, a Six-Order red-skinned Array Master spoke:
"The energy that the Spring Array gathered over the past half-month has been completely consumed in just a few hours. If we continue this stalemate, even more energy will be consumed.
Once all the energy accumulated by the Spring Array is exhausted, we will certainly be unable to maintain the formation, and vulnerabilities will appear elsewhere. We cannot attack this place anymore."
Another Sixth-Order Array Master beside him frowned and said:
"We don't even know what is consuming the energy. What if we stop attacking and that thing damages the Spring Array?
Also, perhaps that thing has already been mostly destroyed. What if we stop and let that thing recover?"
+++
Chapter 318: The Weakness of the Fountain Formation
Fang Che's consumption of the Spring Array caused the Flame Sea Plane Professionals to have different ideas.
After arguing for a moment, a Professional from the Flame Sea Plane spoke, "It's pointless to keep arguing. Let's vote by a show of hands to see whether we stop attacking or continue attacking."
A man nearby hesitated and said, "Why don't we wait a bit longer? Our people should be able to find out the reason very soon."
The Array Master beside him shouted impatiently, "What are we waiting for? The enemy can even destroy the Spring Array, so how could they not be able to deal with the people we sent?!"
The hesitant man did not refute, but simply took out a communication token, injected energy into it, and said, "Reply received."
The communication token was very quiet; no information was transmitted.
Someone nearby immediately raised his hand and said, "I agree to stop attacking that location."
With one more person expressing his stance, others followed suit.
A moment later, all Six-Order Professionals had expressed their stances, and the Sixth-Order Array Master in charge of the Manager spoke, "The majority chose to stop the attack. I order to abandon the area consuming energy."
As soon as this was said, those who chose to abandon immediately released energy, integrating it into the core of the Spring Array beneath their feet, closing a certain energy transmission channel.
The rest who disagreed were powerless to stop it and could only assist the others in closing the energy transmission channel.
At this moment, at the lowest point of the Spring Array, after Fang Che manipulated the Voodoo Doll to collect the enemy's corpse, he put the Nailhead Seven Arrows Book into his Niwan Palace and continued to endure the Spring Array's attack.
However, not long after, Fang Che suddenly discovered that the Inversion Formation of the Spring Array suddenly appeared, and then instantly shattered.
The terrifying energy from the Spring Array instantly receded, and the surroundings fell into a long silence.
This area had been completely and voluntarily abandoned by the Spring Array.
To restore this area, people would have to be sent to re-establish the Inversion Formation and change the terrain.
Seeing this situation, Fang Che immediately set off for the next lowest point of the Spring Array.
At this moment, on the mountain peak, Zhang Chunyi and the others witnessed the energy dissipate and a large area being abandoned by the Spring Array, and immediately cheered with joy.
Zhang Chunyi suppressed his excitement and commanded with a trembling voice, "Immediately occupy the areas abandoned by the enemy, and strengthen the defenses in other areas!"
The Array Masters among the crowd quickly left the mountain peak and entered the area that had been abandoned by the Yan Hai Plane.
Zhang Chunyi, meanwhile, walked to the vicinity of the teleportation array and used materials to set up an Array.
As a part of the Spring Array was abandoned, its suppression of space teleportation power also weakened significantly.
Zhang Chunyi needed to quickly strengthen the space teleportation power; once strengthened, it would be much easier to either escape or send reinforcements.
The others continued to guard on the mountain peak, observing developments in other directions.
A moment later, a Fourth-Order Professional shouted, "My Array here has been activated!"
Everyone looked in unison at the Fourth-Order Professional's location, and following the direction of his finger, they saw where the Spring Array's energy was once again converging and causing destruction.
Everyone observed for a moment with excitement, then tried to control their emotions and continued to focus on the changes in front of them.
At this moment, at the core of the Spring Array, the Professionals of the Flame Sea Plane quickly discovered the rapid accumulation of energy again.
Everyone, like startled birds, instantly widened their eyes, their faces full of tension.
"This should be other enemies who have strayed into this area. He will be eliminated very soon," the Sixth-Order Array Master in charge of the Manager hastily spoke to boost morale, but his voice was full of self-doubt.
Everyone remained silent, carefully sensing the changes in the Spring Array.
In the blink of an eye, an incense stick's worth of time passed.
At this point, a Professional angrily spoke:
"I said it long ago, we should have persisted in attacking. Now, that thing has changed its position and is still destroying our Spring Array;
Perhaps it was that pause just now that gave that thing a chance to breathe. If we had continuously attacked, that thing might have been destroyed long ago!"
Many people felt regret but did not show it. One Professional quickly changed the subject: "What do we do next?"
Everyone fell silent again.
After a long time, the Six-Order Professional in charge of the Manager tentatively said, "How about sending a Six-Order Professional to take a look?"
None of the Six-Order Professionals present replied; they all remained silent, avoiding the Manager's gaze.
Everyone had thought about this problem long ago, but the enemy could even destroy the Spring Array, so it was impossible for him to fear a Six-Order Professional.
Therefore, everyone tacitly did not bring up this idea.
Now that the Manager had voiced this idea, everyone was not only silent but also more displeased.
How could such a dangerous thing be casually brought up?
If the battle failed, they could retreat, but if they went to investigate in person, they might not even know how they died.
Seeing everyone's reaction, the Manager could guess their thoughts.
The Manager pondered for a moment and said:
"Normal enemies cannot break the Spring Array, but if it's one of those Plane Children, or Temporary Plane Sons, it's possible for him to possess such powerful means;
We are all ordinary Professionals and simply cannot deal with such an enemy. I suggest applying for a Temporary Plane Son to participate in the battle. What do you all think?"
Upon hearing this, everyone stopped being silent and nodded in agreement: "Good idea."
"I agree."
"I also agree."
"To better understand the enemy's information, and for the sake of caution, it is indeed appropriate to send a Temporary Plane Son to personally capture the enemy."
"That's right, let's quickly contact the Plane Will!"
"Quickly contact..."
"I'll contact the Plane Will right now." Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, the Manager immediately got up, preparing to go near the teleportation array to communicate with the Yan Hai world Will.
At this moment, a Six-Order Professional stopped him and said, "Regarding the situation here, it's better not to say too much."
Someone immediately echoed, "That's right, just tell the Plane Will that a relatively difficult Six-Order Professional has arrived here."
The Manager nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't say too much. I will conceal some information while ensuring the truth."
The Manager quickly arrived next to the teleportation array, closed his eyes, and contacted the Plane Will.
Vast and ethereal Plane energy immediately drifted from the teleportation array, enveloping the Manager's body.
Not long after, the Plane energy returned to the teleportation array, and the Manager opened his eyes, walked in front of everyone, and smiled, "A former Temporary Plane Son will be sent over immediately to solve the problem?"
Everyone instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the newly arrived Temporary Plane Son could successfully identify the thing destroying the Spring Array, everyone could find a way to resolve it.
If he failed to identify what that thing was, it could also prove the enemy's strength, and everyone would have an excuse to deal with the Plane Will when they retreated in the future.
In short, it was not a loss.
+++
Chapter 319 Three Assassins
The Flame Sea Plane's teleportation array vibrated slightly, and a Six-Tier Assassin teleported from the Flame Sea Plane.
The Spring Array Manager immediately walked over when he saw this.
After seeing the assassin's appearance clearly, the Spring Array Manager subconsciously took a step back and asked with a hint of nervousness, "Are you the top-ranked Six-Tier Assassin in the Tianya region?"
The Six-Tier Assassin said expressionlessly, "Precisely!"
The Six-Order Professionals in the distance turned their heads away in fear upon hearing this reply, not daring to look directly at the assassin.
The Spring Array Manager, with an excited expression, took out a map, pointed to a location, and said,
"The enemy is right here. Thank you for your trouble. Once you reach the location, we will temporarily disable the Spring Array to avoid accidental injury."
"There's no need to disable the Spring Array," the assassin said confidently as he took the map.
"I am capable of handling the Spring Array. You don't need to worry about my safety. I'll bring back the enemy's body very soon."
After saying that, the assassin instantly became invisible and disappeared before the Manager.
The Six-Order Manager immediately asked the crowd, "Can you sense our assassin friend through the array?"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately mobilized the power of the Spring Array to observe their surroundings, then shook their heads in unison, their faces filled with apprehension.
The Spring Array Manager muttered to himself, "As expected of a renowned assassin. It's difficult to find any trace of him even this close. The enemy is surely dead now!"
At this moment, the invisible assassin was nearby. After realizing he hadn't been detected by the Spring Array, he smiled triumphantly and then moved towards Fang Che's location.
The assassin advanced rapidly, and it wasn't long before he approached Fang Che's position.
The assassin moved even more cautiously and soon saw Fang Che kowtowing.
The assassin was slightly bewildered, then felt a sharp pain in his chest, after which he lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
The next second, the Voodoo Doll emerged from underground, collected the assassin's body into its Plane, and then burrowed back underground.
Not far away, Fang Che put away the Nailhead Seven Arrows Book, feeling somewhat pleased.
During the time Fang Che had been here, no Professionals from the Flame Sea Plane had appeared, as if the enemy had given up on dealing with him.
Now, with the appearance of a Six-Order Professional, Fang Che confirmed that the enemy had not given up on him, but was instead sending stronger Professionals.
These strong individuals possessed far more resources than the weaker ones.
Moreover, strong individuals were confident and usually carried many resources, while weaker individuals, lacking confidence in their survival, often came empty-handed to investigate the situation.
Fang Che hoped that more Six-Order Professionals would come alone to their deaths, providing him with resources.
Afterward, Fang Che continued to observe his surroundings through the Voodoo Doll, his emotions clashing with the Spring Array.
At this moment, in the core of the Spring Array, the Professionals from the Flame Sea Plane were chatting and laughing, looking relaxed.
After some time, the smiles on everyone's faces slowly disappeared, replaced by a growing worry.
One Professional said, "A long time has passed. Enough time for two round trips. Why is that enemy still consuming the Spring Array's energy? Did the assassin not succeed?"
The Spring Array Manager frowned and said, "That assassin's missions have never failed. Perhaps he was delayed by something else. Let's wait patiently a little longer."
Before he finished speaking, the teleportation array not far away vibrated slightly, and two black-clad, masked Six-Tier Assassins emerged from it.
The Spring Array Manager quickly walked over and asked, "What brings the two of you here?"
The assassin on the left said, "We received a message from the Plane Will that the assassin who just arrived here has died. We need to come and investigate."
The Manager's expression changed slightly, and he asked, "Was it the top-ranked Six-Tier Assassin from the Tianya region who died?"
The assassin on the right countered, "Besides him, and besides the two of us, did any other assassins come here?"
The Manager shook his head in a panic, then took out a map, pointed to a location, and said, "He went to this location just now."
The assassin on the left took the map, and after the two of them examined it carefully, they quickly disappeared.
The Manager returned to the core area of the Spring Array, sat down with a serious expression, and remained silent.
Everyone else also remained silent, quietly observing the area where the Spring Array's energy was gathering.
After some time, excited smiles suddenly appeared on everyone's faces, and a Professional excitedly shouted, "The thing consuming the Spring Array's energy has disappeared!"
The Manager excitedly said, "Calculate the time. Those two assassins must have reached their destination. It must be the two assassins who dealt with the energy-consuming thing!"
Everyone nodded in deep agreement.
And at this moment, in the low-lying area of the Spring Array, Fang Che stopped consuming the Spring Array's energy and fled in another direction.
This was because Fang Che had discovered the traces of the two assassins through the Voodoo Doll.
The two assassins were very close. If Fang Che eliminated one person, there was a high probability that the other person would directly teleport the body to the Flame Sea Plane, and at that point, Fang Che's secret would be exposed.
Therefore, Fang Che needed to avoid them and eliminate them by other means.
In the distance, the two assassins clenched their fists, moving cautiously and continuously approaching the location where Fang Che had previously stayed.
As they were about to get close, the two suddenly swung their arms in unison, released their fists, and threw two items from their palms.
One second later, the two items attracted and collided with each other in mid-air, and a faint vibration force erupted, engulfing an area.
In an instant, the two assassins, who were still in the distance, instantly moved to the location where Fang Che had previously stayed.
They held their long blades high and plunged them directly into the ground.
The two of them's expressions changed slightly, and they quickly let go of their long blades, standing back to back and cautiously observing their surroundings.
A moment later, the assassin on the left said, "The enemy left long ago. What attracted us here was the enemy's lingering aura."
The assassin on the right asked, "Then what should we do? Where do we find him?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a faint sound of wind chimes rang out.
"What's that sound?" The assassin on the left had just finished saying this when he noticed the assassin on the right quickly moving away.
The assassin on the left was startled and quickly ran a few steps forward before turning to look behind him.
Then, he discovered that the assassin on the right was making a strange gesture.
This gesture was not sign language, but a simple communication method they had agreed upon long ago, meaning: speech is affected.
The assassin on the right immediately closed his mouth, avoiding the enemy using his words to transmit false messages.
Subsequently, the two of them communicated simply using the gestures they had agreed upon long ago, whose meaning only they understood.
Immediately after, the two of them moved together, nervously observing their surroundings.
Without verbal communication, and with the two needing to guard against their surroundings and unable to see each other's gestures, these simple gestures slowly lost their effectiveness.
+++
Chapter 320 Eliminate Two Assassins
After Fang Che confirmed that the two assassins' communication was restricted, he manipulated the Voodoo Doll to place the Substitute Talisman, which he had prepared earlier, beside them.
Once both of them stepped on the Substitute Talisman, Fang Che immediately activated the Voodoo Doll's earliest ability, influencing the leader among the two.
Fang Che believed that these two people should have many items.
If he used the Substitute Talisman to fix the two of them and then used the Nailhead Seven Arrows Book to eliminate them, the living person might break free from the restraints with powerful items and teleport the body away.
Therefore, Fang Che needed to use the Voodoo Doll to sow discord between them, making them kill each other.
There were only two of them; once they started fighting, no one could stop them.
When only one of them remained, it would not be too late for Fang Che to eliminate the living person.
The next second, a very faint red light flickered in the left assassin's eyes.
The left assassin quietly observed the surrounding movements. After a long time, he did not find any enemies. Feeling annoyed, he made a gesture, wanting to communicate with the assassin next to him.
However, the other assassin was still observing the surroundings and did not notice the left assassin's gesture.
Seeing this, the left assassin looked displeased and directly gave up on communicating.
Under the influence of emotions, the cooperation between the left assassin and the right assassin was no longer tacit, and they frequently made mistakes.
However, the left assassin did not discover his own problem, only feeling that the right assassin was in the way.
The left assassin felt some remorse, regretting that if he had known he would encounter such a situation, he should have brought a Translation Master instead of two assassins at once.
After enduring for a moment longer, the left assassin's emotions grew more irritable, and he even had the thought of eliminating the right assassin.
The moment this thought arose, the left assassin suddenly calmed down and observed his situation with some doubt.
Seeing this, Fang Che, who was in the distance, sighed with some disappointment.
The Voodoo Doll failed to influence the left assassin, possibly because they were a temporary team, and the left assassin did not consider himself a true leader.
It was also possible that the left assassin disliked leading others, causing the Voodoo Doll to lose most of its effect.
In any case, it was impossible to control the left assassin to attack randomly.
Fang Che could only control the Voodoo Doll to release energy, strengthening the left assassin's aversion to the right assassin, causing them to separate.
At this moment, the left assassin had finished checking his body and found no problems.
After pondering for a moment, the left assassin suddenly had a peculiar thought:
"Could it be that I'm used to assassinating enemies alone and am not suitable for acting together?"
The more the left assassin thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed. However, with unknown enemies around, the left assassin still chose to suppress his thoughts and continue to cooperate with the right assassin in observing the surroundings.
However, as time passed, the left assassin grew increasingly impatient.
During one instance when the two looked at each other, the left assassin made a gesture to disperse and act separately.
The right assassin looked at the left assassin with some disbelief, then observed carefully for a while. After confirming that the left assassin was fine, he made a gesture of agreement.
Afterward, the two acted separately.
As soon as they separated, the left assassin felt much more relaxed, and he increasingly felt that the choice to act separately was not wrong.
After that, the left assassin seriously observed the surrounding situation.
And in the shadows, the right assassin was quietly monitoring the left assassin!
The right assassin felt that there must be something wrong with their sudden separation.
What exactly was wrong, the right assassin hadn't discovered just now, but now that they were separated, he should be able to see some problems.
Therefore, after separating, the right assassin activated all his hidden items and quietly came over to observe the situation.
However, the right assassin observed for a long time and still found no problems.
"It seems I was overthinking," the right assassin murmured to himself, then turned and left.
Not long after the right assassin left, the left assassin instantly died, his body falling towards the ground.
Before the body could hit the ground, the Voodoo Doll emerged from underground, took the body, and then re-entered the ground to search for the right assassin.
The moment the Voodoo Doll arrived beside the right assassin, the right assassin also instantly fell to the ground dead, taken into Fang Che's Plane by the Voodoo Doll.
At this moment, Fang Che, hiding somewhere underground, relaxed slightly after realizing that both assassins were dead.
Then, Fang Che walked towards the lower part of the nearby Array, silently praying in his heart that the number of subsequent enemies would not exceed two.
If it exceeded two, to avoid the leakage of information about the Nailhead Seven Arrows Book, Fang Che would only be able to hide from them and change locations to destroy the Spring Array, which would not be very efficient.
Not long after, Fang Che arrived at the lower part of the nearby Array and stepped into it.
The Array's energy instantly gathered and launched an attack on Fang Che.
On the mountain peak, Zhang Chunyi and the others stared intently at the Spring Array outside, feeling extremely anxious.
Not long ago, the energy gathered by the Spring Array suddenly disappeared, and the Spring Array showed no signs of being damaged. This made everyone panic, worrying that something might have happened to Fang Che.
As a result, all the Array Masters who had gone out to stop the Spring Array's expansion returned, anxiously searching for Fang Che's whereabouts.
At this moment, a Fifth-Order Professional suddenly saw energy converging and excitedly shouted, "Look!"
Zhang Chunyi immediately ran to the Fifth-Order Professional's location and, seeing the continuously gathering Array energy, immediately let out a sigh of relief.
Zhang Chunyi clasped his hands together and prayed in a low voice, "May the Plane Will protect him. I hope Fang Che resolves the Spring Array as soon as possible and doesn't encounter too many accidents."
Hearing this, the surrounding people also silently prayed.
Now, everyone couldn't do much; besides praying, there was really nothing else to do.
After the prayer, Zhang Chunyi commanded, "Continue doing what you were doing just now, occupy the positions the enemy abandoned! Return immediately after the energy disappears!"
"Yes, sir!" The Array Masters immediately set off to occupy the positions the enemy had abandoned.
The other Professionals continued to monitor the Plane's situation, guarding against enemy sneak attacks.
At the core of the Spring Array, the Professionals of the Yan Hai Plane became tense after realizing that the Spring Array was being consumed once again.
Situations like this had occurred many times before, but ever since the thing that continuously consumed the Spring Array's energy appeared, everyone had become like a startled bird.
Even though everyone told themselves in their hearts that the two assassins had resolved the problem, they still couldn't remain calm.
After a while, the Spring Array Manager sighed and said,
"Every time the Array attacks, the commotion is very loud. Those two assassins must have noticed it. The fact that they haven't dealt with it yet means they are most likely in great danger."
Upon hearing this, everyone's Luck mentality (lucky mentality) was instantly shattered, and their expressions turned panicked and helpless.
A moment later, someone asked, "What should we do next?"
The Spring Array Manager looked at everyone's emotions and sighed, "Wait. Wait for the Plane Will to send more people to solve the problem, or wait for the enemy to break the Spring Array!"
