The Strongest Curse Master: Start by refining the Seven Arrows Book

#126 - Chapter 126 Entering the Mountain Maze

After waiting for some time in the Iron Hand Academy's plaza, the painting in the sky suddenly disappeared.

Immediately afterward, an even larger painting unfolded, with the invaders' area in the center, surrounded by mountains resembling a maze.

The further out the mountains were, the higher the terrain, with the planar passage located at the lowest point.

At this moment, a voice came from the painting:

"I am Chen Feng, the principal of Iron Hand Academy, issuing tasks on behalf of other academy administrators;

The mountain maze map you see now is a defensive line set up by a sixth-order geomancer leading many professionals, possessing the ability to prohibit flight;

In two hours, the enemy will enter the defensive line. Your task is to enter the mountain maze and eliminate the enemy;

After eliminating the enemy, you need to cut off their heads to exchange for rewards after the battle. Information such as kill footage will not be recognized by any academy."

As soon as these words came out, almost everyone frowned.

Killing the enemy was simple, but harvesting heads at close range was dangerous.

If the enemy set up special measures on the corpses, it would be easy to be killed by them.

Especially for those who are not good at close combat, the probability of death would be even greater.

In addition, during intense battles, it was easy to damage the enemy's head. Without the head, this reward would fall into the pockets of the various academies.

This was very unfair to everyone.

But everyone was helpless.

If the battle failed, everyone would die. If the battle was won, the will of the plane would also distribute the rewards to the academies, who would then distribute them downwards.

The rewards could not directly fall into their hands, so they could only accept the academy's suggestions.

To appease the emotions of the crowd, Chen Feng continued to say:

"As long as you obtain the enemy's head, the academy can specially provide you with the resources you need. Even if the rewards bestowed by the will of the plane do not include the resources you need, the academy will find a way to exchange them for you."

Upon hearing this, the crowd's dissatisfaction slightly diminished.

Chen Feng continued, "You should be able to see that there are seven entrances and exits in the mountain maze;

The seven entrances and exits are guarded by seven academies. You can enter from any one of them;

But you must remember that if the invaders leave the maze from the entrance and exit, the rewards obtained by the academy responsible for guarding the entrance and exit will be reduced;

People related to that academy will also have their reward amount reduced when exchanging rewards. Therefore, please do not let any enemies leave the maze. Now you can act."

As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of spatial rifts opened up above the plaza.

All the spatial rifts were divided into seven colors, with the destination being the seven entrances of the mountain maze.

Everyone immediately lined up and walked into the rifts, heading to the mountain maze entrance that their academy was responsible for defending.

After Fang Che and Gao Ping arrived at the place defended by the Iron Hand Academy, Gao Ping asked somewhat nervously, "Shall we act together next?"

Fang Che shook his head and replied, "No, I plan to act alone."

Gao Ping was slightly stunned and persuaded, "Acting alone is too dangerous, let's act together."

Fang Che was planning to find a place to hide and use the Nailhead Seven Arrows Book to kill, so it was impossible for him to encounter danger.

However, Fang Che did not explain too much, but just replied with a smile, "I will not go to dangerous places, you don't have to worry about me, you also need to pay attention to safety."

Seeing Fang Che's firm attitude, Gao Ping did not continue to ask Fang Che to act with him, but just blessed him:

"Then I wish you peace and success, I'm going to find familiar friends, goodbye."

"Take care."

Fang Che stood in place, watched everyone leave, found a hidden place, used the power of props to drill into the ground, and created a spacious underground space.

Afterward, Fang Che used props to strengthen the defense of the underground space, placed the Myriad Souls Banner beside him, and took out the Witch Gu Doll, manipulating the Witch Gu Doll to drill into the ground, moving towards the area where the enemies were.

As soon as the Witch Gu Doll entered the mountain maze, Fang Che discovered that the soil in the mountain area was unusually solid, and the Witch Gu Doll could not drill through it at all, so it could only move along the road.

If he didn't know the correct path of the maze, he would probably waste a lot of time exploring the road.

Fortunately, Fang Che had learned about the road information before coming, so the Witch Gu Doll smoothly approached the area where the invaders were.

At this time, there were not too many professionals around, the reason being that they were too close to the enemy and would suffer from the enemy's intensive firepower attack.

The best ambush location was one kilometer away, that place had narrow roads, not suitable for large-scale enemy action, easy to eliminate the enemy.

Moreover, there were many roads to that area, and if the enemy divided their troops to go there, it would be easier to eliminate the enemy.

However, when the Witch Gu Doll came from that ambush location, it did not encounter too many people, only saw a small number of people setting up traps there.

Because that place was only suitable for ambushes, not suitable for harvesting enemy heads.

Unable to harvest heads, killing more enemies was meaningless.

Therefore, everyone was just setting up traps there, trying to weaken the enemy's combat power as much as possible, providing help for the future smooth harvesting of heads.

After the Witch Gu Doll came here, its vision passed through the wall barrier, allowing Fang Che to understand the appearance of all the invaders, and determine their professions through their attack methods.

Fang Che was not in a hurry to launch an attack, but just learned as much as possible about the invaders' situation, and then recorded the professions these people might have on white paper.

Next, Fang Che noticed that some weak invaders returned to their plane through the planar passage.

After that, more powerful invaders entered the Emperor plane and launched attacks on the wall barrier.

However, the wall looked shaky, but it still stood in place, resisting the invaders' footsteps.

After a long time, a whole day had passed since the invaders entered the Emperor plane.

The next second, the wall barrier instantly collapsed, and the invisible barrier in the sky that prevented flying, as well as the barrier underground that prevented digging, also disappeared at the same time.

The invaders did not expect the barrier to disappear so suddenly, nor did they expect that countless mountains would appear outside in just one day.

The invaders vigilantly looked around, without any words.

After a moment, a fourth-order invader opened its bloody mouth and spat out a fireball, directly hitting the place where the Witch Gu Doll was.

The Witch Gu Doll quickly hid behind the nearby mountain, and then moved away from this place.

The fourth-order invader's fireball hit the ground, smashing out a deep pit.

Immediately afterward, the second fireball smashed towards the mountain where the Witch Gu Doll was hiding, but it only blackened the mountain a little, and did not cause any damage other than that.

A group of invaders looked at each other, even more nervous.

"Aowu." After a moment, the fourth-order invader roared, and a group of third-order invaders strode on four legs, walking towards various roads.

Before long, the invaders entered the arranged trap area.

In an instant, the traps spewed out flames, fell thunder, blew out strong winds, and spewed out corrosive poison, instantly seriously injuring them.
