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

#237 - Chapter 237 Purchase of Horned Man Captives

After absorbing Fang Che's energy, the curse banner fluttered as if blown by the wind.

Simultaneously, an invisible force rapidly expanded outwards.

Before long, Fang Che sensed the plane's will being activated and emitting the aura of a curse master.

Fang Che understood that the curse banner had taken effect.

He immediately released the voodoo doll, which burrowed out of the ground to observe.

Then, Fang Che saw ten shimmering lights appear in the sky, each radiating the aura of a curse master.

These lights merged with beasts, instantly awakening them and transforming them into first-tier curse masters.

At the same time, Fang Che discovered that a nearby mineral vein was absorbing curse energy, with some of its internal minerals being transformed into basic materials usable by curse masters!

The voodoo doll moved continuously, allowing Fang Che to see more curse master-exclusive materials being created by the plane's will.

While creating materials, the plane's will was also rapidly weakening.

Before long, the plane's will fell silent, indicating that it had suffered significant damage and could no longer maintain consciousness.

Under normal circumstances, after the plane's will fell silent, it could only grant skills and rewards to professionals.

As for other abilities, they would be completely lost.

However, Fang Che discovered that under the influence of the curse banner, the silenced plane's will was still being forced to create materials!

The plane's will continued to weaken, and Fang Che only retracted the curse banner when its aura became chaotic.

The current plane's will had reached its limit; continuing to use the curse banner would easily cause it to collapse.

If the plane's will collapsed, this plane would be completely dead, making it difficult to even cultivate professionals.

Fang Che wanted to maximize his benefits, so he had to wait for the plane's will to stabilize and awaken before using the curse banner again to cultivate materials.

Afterward, Fang Che stored the curse banner in his Niwan Palace before leaving this place and heading to the Horned-Human Plane.

Arriving at the Horned-Human Plane, Fang Che observed the defenses set up by the Iron Hand Gang and, after confirming that they had not been breached, immediately took out the curse banner and injected energy into it.

Subsequently, the Horned-Human Plane slowly began to grow various materials needed by curse masters.

The materials grew very slowly, not as fast as in the previous Sound-Curse Master Plane.

This was because the Horned-Human Plane was too powerful, and Fang Che was too weak.

If the will of the Horned-Human Plane had not been suppressed by the Iron Hand Gang, it could easily have broken the curse banner's ability, leaving Fang Che with nothing.

Fang Che continued to let the curse banner influence the plane's will, while the voodoo doll went to where the Horned-Humans gathered.

The Horned-Humans, having lost their fourth-tier chieftain, had completely fractured.

Even some Horned-Humans from the same tribe had become enemies!

Numerous Horned-Humans were fighting each other in village units.

Those Horned-Human warriors who had fled from the front lines had now joined various villages and were competing with surrounding villages.

Most of the Horned-Humans that Fang Che had chosen to set up curse rituals had died.

Some were discovered performing curse rituals and were killed by village administrators.

Some died in battles with other villages.

The unluckiest ones were captured during battles and turned into death sculptures!

As for the Horned-Humans who survived, they had not created many sculptures.

If he relied on them to create sculptures and process materials, the speed would definitely decrease.

If he sought help from the village administrators, the speed would be much faster, but these Horned-Human administrators might not agree to help Fang Che.

Horned-Humans had deep connections with each other, unlike Horse-People, who were easier to fool.

Getting Horned-Human administrators to help process sculptures would be very difficult.

After pondering for a moment, Fang Che controlled the voodoo doll to collect the materials and learn about the situation in each village.

Before long, Fang Che chose a Horned-Human administrator he could talk to and controlled the voodoo doll to appear before him.

The Horned-Human administrator, seeing the voodoo doll, instantly cast a defensive skill and asked warily, "What are you?"

Fang Che immediately controlled the voodoo doll to write information that the Horned-Human could understand: "I am here to buy Horned-Human captives."

Fang Che felt that instead of asking the Horned-Human administrator to perform curse master rituals, it would be better to directly buy Horned-Human captives and perform the rituals himself.

By doing it himself, many troublesome things could be resolved.

The Horned-Human administrator saw this information and frowned, saying, "So you are a friend from the eastern village. It's truly impressive that your tool can bypass layers of defenses to reach me!"

Seeing that the Horned-Human administrator had misunderstood, Fang Che continued to control the voodoo doll to write information:

"I am not from the east, nor am I your enemy. I am here to buy captives to complete my own task;

I guarantee that the captives will not be returned to the war. If you don't believe me, you can leave a mark on the captives. If the captives rejoin the war, you can activate the mark or directly cripple them."

The Horned-Human administrator was slightly bewildered upon seeing this information.

If it were enemies from the eastern village who wanted to redeem the captives, they would definitely want to return them to the battlefield and would not need crippled captives.

Moreover, if they were enemies from the east, they would not propose buying captives; they should be exchanging captives.

However, if this puppet was not sent by enemies from the east, where would it be from?

What purpose would the puppet have in buying captives?

If it were before, he could ensure his interests through a contract and would not need to ask too much.

However, now that the plane's will was suppressed by invaders, the contract had lost its effect, and the Horned-Human administrator had to think more carefully.

Seeing the Horned-Human administrator's silence, Fang Che controlled the voodoo doll to continue writing:

"Among all the nearby villages, your strength is the weakest, and your village will be the first to be destroyed;

To survive, it's best to choose to sell the captives and exchange them for resources;

If you fail, these captives will not be able to save your life!"

The Horned-Human administrator grinned upon seeing these words.

The previous decision to keep the captives was not to have a way out after defeat, but to eliminate the captives in front of all the enemies after defeat and spread the false news that the enemy was unwilling to redeem the captives.

Once this news spread, it would be difficult for the enemy to recruit soldiers, and they might even split internally.

The Horned-Human administrator wanted to use this method to take revenge!

Now that he could exchange the captives for resources, he might be able to win and didn't need to study methods of revenge after death.

Living now was the most important thing, so why bother about the puppet's identity?

The Horned-Human administrator said, "Wait here for a moment. I will process the captives and give you the price."

After saying this, the Horned-Human administrator quickly left without waiting for the voodoo doll's reply, preparing to discuss the transaction value with his subordinates.

Fang Che left the voodoo doll in place, but his vision remained locked on the Horned-Human administrator, watching him find his subordinates to discuss prices, watching him personally cripple the captives, and watching him put the captives into a cloth bag tool before returning to the room.
