#180 - Chapter 180 The Horned Man's Misunderstanding
The horned man on the right heard his companion's complaint and chimed in:
"I don't approve of the clan leader council's probing order either. Now that the enemy has quieted down, it's an important opportunity for us to increase our strength. If we anger the enemy, we'll be in trouble."
Speaking of which, the horned man on the right suddenly changed the subject:
"However, since the clan leader council has issued the order, we must carry it out. We can't undermine the authority of our clan leader. If his authority is affected, the clan leader won't be able to fight for our interests."
The horned man on the left sighed, "I understand these things, but this probing mission will definitely result in heavy losses. Even though we're good at running away, if we encounter an accident..."
Before he could finish speaking, the horned man on the left fell straight to the ground.
The horned man on the right looked at the fallen horned man with some confusion, only to discover a hole that had inexplicably appeared in his chest.
"Defense!" The horned man on the right shouted and instantly ran into the crowd. The other horned men were a second slower and only then set up a defense.
However, just as the defense was set up, a hole also appeared in the chest of the fourth-tier horned man, and he died instantly.
"The assassin is protected by us!" A horned man shouted as he moved away from the body.
The surrounding horned men also dispersed without hesitation, running towards their own defensive lines.
At this moment, all the horned men were only concerned with running away, and the defensive power was no longer as strong as it was during the previous collective defense. If they were attacked, they would definitely die in a short time.
However, these horned men had been frightened out of their minds and only wanted to run away as quickly as possible, away from this place.
At this moment, inside the horned men's defensive line, the fourth-tier horned men were gathered in a closed room, all using defensive skills, staring in horror at a corpse in the room.
Another horned man condensed chains to divide the room into countless narrow gaps.
At this moment, another fourth-tier horned man had a hole in his body and died on the spot.
The corpse of the fourth-tier horned man fell backward but was caught by the chains.
The next second, countless skills passed through the chains, covering the location of the fourth-tier horned man's corpse.
The corpse of the fourth-tier horned man was instantly turned into minced meat by the skills.
At this moment, a horned man who was good at perception not far away said in horror, "There's no enemy there at all..."
Before he could finish speaking, a hole also appeared in the horned man's chest, and he died on the spot.
Immediately afterward, countless skills covered him, turning his corpse into minced meat as well.
Next, another horned man who had awakened a speed-type class died, and skills covered him again.
The horned man who had set up the chains trembled in fear.
He could sense the surrounding situation through the chains, and if anyone passed through the chains, he could easily detect them, but when people died just now, he didn't notice anything.
Moreover, these dead horned men were bound by chains in a small space that could only accommodate one person, so it was impossible for anyone to sneak in and kill them.
The horned man shouted with a trembling voice, "This enemy's strength has exceeded mine. Everyone, retreat!"
The horned men in the area were first shocked, and then despair appeared on their faces.
The horned men present all had fourth-tier strength. Surpassing any one of them meant that the enemy had fifth-tier strength.
How could they resist such an enemy?
The horned men stood there in despair, and even when the chains behind them disappeared and a passage to leave appeared, no one left.
Several of the horned men even took out communication tokens to send information out.
However, after waiting for a long time, no new horned men died.
The horned men were instantly puzzled.
At this moment, an urgent report came from outside the door:
"My lords, the team probing the enemy's strength has returned. The two fourth-tier adults leading the team are all dead. The cause of death is unknown. All that is known is that there was a hole in their chest."
The fourth-tier horned men in the room immediately remembered that the people who had died in the room before all had holes in their chests for no reason.
At this moment, a horned man said, "Those who died just now were all brothers who were good at perception and running. These people are the most suitable for reconnaissance and probing."
"Could it be that our actions angered the other party, and they chose to give us a warning?"
Everyone nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this.
At this moment, another horned man said with a hopeful expression:
"The enemy only killed the professional who were good at probing when faced with our probing, but did not launch a collective attack."
"Does this mean that the enemy doesn't want to kill us all, but wants to deal with us in a different way?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present showed expectant expressions.
After a long period of battle, everyone knew that the horned men were no match for the enemy, and that destruction was only a matter of time. Therefore, everyone was united, determined to hurt the other party even at the cost of their lives.
However, if they could live, who would want to fight to the death?
Immediately afterward, a horned man said, "Why don't we send someone over to talk to them?"
Several horned men nodded in agreement.
However, someone quickly retorted, "It's better not to. If the negotiators say the wrong thing and make them unhappy, it will be troublesome."
"Let's wait until they have discussed it and take the initiative to negotiate with us."
"What we have to do now is to inform the clan leader council of this guess so that they can be prepared."
The surrounding people nodded in agreement, then put away the chains, left the room, and contacted the clan leader council.
Fang Che was not aware of these people's thoughts. Fang Che was just continuing to control the Witchcraft Doll to find targets after eliminating the fourth-tier horned men who were good at reconnaissance.
The Witchcraft Doll shuttled underground for a while and soon found an ordinary horned man crying and hammering a tree trunk.
Fang Che immediately controlled the Witchcraft Doll to walk out from behind the tree.
The horned man looked at the moving puppet and took a few steps back in horror.
The Witchcraft Doll stopped in place and wrote in the language of this plane:
"Don't be afraid, I am the suppressed will of the plane. I need you to help me break the suppression and release me."
"Will of the plane?" The horned man was stunned for a moment, then asked excitedly, "Can you help me get revenge?"
The Witchcraft Doll wrote on the ground, "I will give you resources and items to help you awaken the Curse Master class. Once you have power, you can avenge yourself."
Then, the Witchcraft Doll, as before, skillfully wrote down the ritual to awaken the Curse Master, threw out some items, and began to dig a hole.
The horned man looked at the words on the ground and clenched his fists excitedly, "Great, with power, I, Niu Xuanhai, can avenge my father and kill the enemy's entire family!"
Fang Che heard these words through the Witchcraft Doll and felt a little happy.
Having stayed in this plane for a long time, this was the first time he had encountered a horned man with such strong hatred. Fang Che felt that this Niu Xuanhai was very suitable for cultivation.
So, Fang Che controlled the Witchcraft Doll to stop digging and crawled out from underground.
