#148 - Chapter 148: Fight off a wave of enemies
Fang Che and Gao Ping waited in line for a moment and quickly received their contracts.
The contract detailed that everyone would be scattered and teleported to safe locations, returning after a month. It also included some precautions for cultivating in other planes.
Fang Che quickly reviewed the contents and left his energy imprint, successfully signing the contract.
Immediately after, Fang Che stepped into the teleportation array. Once the array was filled with other professionals, the teleportation gate closed, opening a spatial rift to teleport everyone away.
Fang Che arrived in the new plane, took a pill to alleviate the weakness in his body, and then looked around, finding himself in a stone hollow covered by weeds.
Fang Che remembered that the last time he came to this plane, he was also teleported to a stone hollow.
Fang Che crawled out of the stone hollow and looked around, discovering that this was exactly the same location where he had been teleported last time.
Fang Che took out the Witchcraft Doll and threw it on the ground, controlling it to search for the professionals of this plane.
Then, Fang Che used a tool to burrow underground, creating an open space. After disguising it with another tool, he took out the Myriad Souls Banner and placed it aside.
Next, Fang Che used the Witchcraft Doll to observe the surrounding movements, finding that everything was quiet along the way, and the awakened professional trainees from last time had disappeared.
At the same time, there were no professionals from this plane in the vicinity.
Occasionally, he could see some Iron Hand Group professionals, but they were all here for cultivation.
As for the professionals stationed here, there wasn't a single one to be seen.
The Witchcraft Doll continued to advance, and before long, it arrived at the area where the enemies had previously been sealed off.
However, this area was now very quiet, without any professionals.
The Witchcraft Doll moved forward for a while before discovering an area where a large number of Iron Hand Group professionals were gathered.
The Witchcraft Doll emerged from underground and wrote on the ground: [I want to understand the enemy situation in this plane and find opportunities to hunt them. Please grant passage.]
At this moment, a Fifth-Order Flame Manipulator appeared, checked the information on the ground, and pointed to the mountains a kilometer away, saying:
"The enemies are on the other side of the mountains. They are desperately attacking our defenses. Your tool will have difficulty penetrating deep behind enemy lines;
I suggest you learn about the situation around the defense line and then use the special methods of a Soul Master to eliminate the enemies. We will record your contributions."
Fang Che saw that this person knew his situation, understanding that Li Xing had told them in advance.
Fang Che had no reason to refuse their suggestion, and controlled the Witchcraft Doll to write: Understood.
The Fifth-Order Flame Manipulator smiled slightly and said, "Come with me."
After a moment, Fang Che heard the sounds of skills colliding and exploding through the Witchcraft Doll.
The sounds were continuous and uninterrupted.
Continuing forward for a moment, he discovered that the Iron Hand Group professionals were defending behind city walls, fighting against humanoid creatures with tortoise shells.
The Fifth-Order Flame Manipulator brought the Witchcraft Doll to a position where it could observe the enemies and asked, "Can you understand the enemy situation from here?"
Fang Che immediately controlled the Witchcraft Doll to nod.
Seeing this, the Fifth-Order Flame Manipulator said, "Then observe slowly. I'll leave first."
Fang Che controlled the Witchcraft Doll to respectfully salute. After the Fifth-Order Flame Manipulator left, he began to observe the enemy's situation.
Fang Che discovered that these enemies were only maintaining the minimum defensive strength. Apart from that, all they used were attack skills.
All the skills slammed into the city walls, where they were intercepted by the Iron Hand Group's skills.
A small number of skills that weren't intercepted were also weakened by the defensive formations on the city walls, and didn't cause much damage.
Fang Che concentrated his attention, judged the information of the enemies through the skills they released, and recorded it on white paper.
At this time, the Fifth-Order Flame Manipulator had returned to the forward command post and was telling the other Fifth-Order professionals here about the Witchcraft Doll.
When the other Fifth-Order professionals heard this, they walked to the window and stared at the enemies below.
After waiting for a long time, a Fifth-Order professional asked with some doubt, "Why are the enemies still okay? Didn't they say that the Soul Master's treasure for Fang Che is very powerful?"
The others were also a little puzzled and looked at the Fifth-Order Flame Manipulator.
The Flame Manipulator replied with some doubt, "Don't look at me, I don't know either. Let's wait and see."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone saw a defense-specialized enemy inexplicably develop a hole in their chest. Blood spurted out, and the enemy instantly fell to the ground.
Upon seeing this, everyone's expressions instantly became serious, and they carefully observed the situation around the dead.
However, no one made any discovery. Instead, they saw more defense-specialized enemies die.
After a moment, the enemies became chaotic, and the frequency of their skill execution decreased.
The Iron Hand Group professionals responsible for defending the city walls shouted, "Full support!"
Those professionals who were resting quickly climbed onto the city walls and rapidly cast attack skills.
Before long, the enemies under the city walls were driven back, leaving a pile of corpses.
Outside the command post, the Fifth-Order professionals were silent for a moment. Then, the Flame Manipulator said:
"This Soul Master's thing is really powerful. I don't know how the enemies died at all. Old Li, can you see clearly?"
Old Li, who possessed a sensory class profession, shook his head with a solemn expression and replied, "I can't see clearly."
At this time, the Iron Hand Group's Fifth-Order professionals didn't have much joy.
Powerful things are good things, but if they can't be controlled, they are no longer good things.
At this moment, a professional said, "Those who died were all Third-Order enemies. Could it be because Fang Che's strength is too low? If we were to use it, the enemies would definitely die faster!"
As soon as these words were spoken, many professionals were tempted.
At this moment, the Flame Manipulator said, "This is a tool that the Soul Master gave to the temporary Plane Son. Are you sure you can use it? If you can't use it, how will you face the emotional backlash from the Soul Master and the temporary Plane Son?"
Hearing the titles of Soul Master and temporary Plane Son, who were closest to the plane's will, the greed in everyone's hearts instantly dissipated.
Almost everyone sighed subconsciously and stopped considering the issue of mastering the tool.
The Fifth-Order Flame Manipulator continued, "Now the enemies in this plane are crazy. They aren't afraid of death. Before long, they will organize a counterattack. Let's prepare to deal with the enemy's strongmen, lest they break through our defenses."
The others nodded and walked forward.
At this time, although the humanoid creatures with tortoise shells had retreated, every once in a while, a Third-Order humanoid creature would inexplicably die.
They became more and more frightened, and their running speed became faster, completely abandoning the collection of corpses.
"What are you panicking about!"
A terrifying energy appeared out of thin air, directly pressing down on their heads. A Fifth-Order humanoid creature with a tortoise shell appeared here.
The fleeing humanoid creatures quieted down a little when they saw the strongman arrive. Then, the leading humanoid creature said, "We..."
