Chapter 297 - The first shot

In the northeast side of the alliance of hu rivers, was an over ten miles in radius alluvial island

The island was covered in thriving plants and great numbers of water fowls had built their nests on this island Showering in bright, beautiful starlight, one could see those tiny, fluffy baby birds were tre with their brothers and sisters, in those huge bird nests that were built in the vast bulrush woods

In the center of the island there was an area, about a mile in square, were all the bulrushes had been cleaned up, exposing the pure black soil Seven thatch cabins were built in that area, in a circle, for a small-scale military campsite Old bronze oil lamps were lit up in each cabin Creepy, spooky fla on those weirdly shaped old bronze lareen and scary, as if ghost were living there

In the middle of the circle formed by the seven cabins, was a small altar, which was built with the bones taken out fro the daytime, Taisi had made an exquisite, six-feet tall straw doll hiht in theof black jade slip worn on its neck Tisted, ancient style characters were embossed on the jade slip, ‘Ju Xiu’

Inside the body of the straw doll, where the spine was supposed to be located, there was an exquisitely crafted arrow that was thickly ehtly and firmly This arroas the same one Ju Xiu had used to attack Ji Hao that day on the battlefield A slight trace of her poas still attached to this arrohich would form the main medium of the dark curse Taisi was about to cast

Ji Hao earing a long black cloak and crossed his ar Taisi’s movements

“Nailhead Seven Arrows Book…I’ve heard about it in ht that I would be able to see the real thing here This creepy thing evensound, it should be a naturally forendary treasures, forht of this, Ji Hao couldn’t help but sense a strong wave of nu all these years, Taisi and Shaosi had been bullied by quite a lot of people in the Magi Palace, but if people knew that, except those terrifying curses that Taisi could do, they also had been carrying the Nailhead Seven Arrows Book around, with such a legendary powerful treasure, would those idiots of the Southern Wasteland Society and Great Dark Ocean Society still dare to bully them?

“A faint wisp of poill do just fine”

Taisi was noearing a weird-looking, black cloak Both his eyeballs had turned co a high-pitched, weeping-like noise that could make people feel cold and terrible

“For ordinary dark curses, the exact tieted person is usually required It would even be better if we could get a wisp of her hair or a drop of her spirit blood, but noith this Nailhead Seven Arrows Book, the inherited h to twist the fate of an entire clan, we can cast the curse with that faint trace of power As for the name written on the jade slip, that’s only for convenience,” said Taisi

Taisi was so excited that he was even tre the whole time He then chuckled with a low and creepy voice and said, “Hmmm, let me think about it, how should we let her die? Should we make her suffer more or less? Hm, should we slice her into pieces, s-low-ly, or…knock her down right away? Hm, ah ya ya, tooat Taisi, who now looked like a total psychopath, and said carefully, with a very low voice and a polite tone, “In order to enrage Di Sha and the other army commanders and make them suspect each other at the same time, we can only do it in a relatively cruel way, but over a longer period of time She can suffer pretty badly, and end up in a quite terrible shape, anyway…”

Taisi turned around and stared at Ji Hao right in the eyes with his pair of purely dark and completely lusterless eyeballs That pair of emotionless eyes made Ji Hao feel as if someone had poured a bucket of ice into his clothes, and waves of goosebumps immediately rose on his body

At this moment, Taisi see into another kind of creature He was now more like some mysterious, dark kind of creature that had existed since the beginning of this world A creature that had been coexisting with this world all the time, and would live to immortally, isolated and beyond all the other creatures, cold and eh Ji Hao had always been a brave and fearless person, being stared by Taisi made him feel quite terrible and uncomfortable

“Hehe, the more cruel and arding this,” said Taisi He now sounded extremely cold hearted, even inhuman Excitedly, he turned back around slowly, and opened that black s with a series of paper ruffling noises, countless pages of the black book instantly rose into the air and , then slorapped around the straw doll standing on the altar

Shaosi was standing silently at the side with her eyes narrowed She was focussed on the tiniest of changes in the facial expressions of Yu Mu, Feng Xing and Ji Hao

Seeing all three of thereedy for the Nailhead Seven Arrows Book, her face becaentle and relaxed than before

In the ht in the middle of that metal city, was a small-scale palace, inside which, Di Sha, Di Suo, Di Mo and Ju Xiu were sitting in the middle of a broad hall with luxurious decorations, surrounded by large groups of elite coroups of hu thin silk dresses, and looked frightened at these non-hu yelled at by a few non-huirls carried exquisite jade trays, continuously bringing well-cooked food and delicious wine into the hall
