Zhu Tian: Starting from the Stand User

Chapter 121 Hunting
The middle-aged man watched Lu Chen fall silent but didn't immediately start to urge him. They all knew what kind of people they were. It was only natural to be wary of each other.

There is not much trust between wild sorcerers.

The middle-aged man was silent for a moment and then said, "Do you want to go? If not, I will leave."

He still has to go hunting to make money, so he doesn't have much time to spend here.

Seeing this, Lu Chen expressed a hint of doubt: "Why did you invite me? We don't even know each other. If there really is a way to make money, why would I share it with others?"

Seeing this, the middle-aged man smiled and explained, "Are you worried that I might attack you? Even we curse masters wouldn't do such meaningless things. You look like a poor kid from the countryside. How much money can you get from robbing?"

Lu Chen looked at him seriously and said, "Who knows? I heard that dead sorcerers can also become curse spirits. 50 is enough."

As soon as he said this, Lu Chen was prepared for the possibility that he would launch an attack.

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "The risk is too high. People have many tricks up their sleeves. It's not worth doing this for such a small amount of money. Working together to make more money is the wise choice. We found a very powerful curse spirit in the wild. If captured, it would be worth around 400 million. The weaker curse spirits nearby have almost all been captured in the meantime, so I express my regret for your killing of the curse spirit just now."

The generation of cursed spirits also takes time. For his own plan, Geto Suguru is constantly collecting cursed spirits. Therefore, the number of local cursed spirits is rapidly decreasing.

So his invitation to Lu Chen was genuine, because he had his eye on a powerful cursed spirit and needed cannon fodder. And being powerful meant being more valuable. This was more profitable than robbing people.

Seeing that what he said made sense, Lu Chen decided to follow him and take a look. This could also be considered an opportunity to infiltrate the local warlock circle. As for the possible dangers he might encounter, he was still somewhat confident in his own strength.

So he said, "Then count me in. Money is really tight these days."

The middle-aged man nodded in satisfaction and said, "It's a wise choice. If you want to make money, you have to do something risky like this. Let's go quickly. I have an appointment with someone. I hope he can find help. I can tell at a glance that the cursed spirit is not easy to deal with."

"Now it feels like we're teaming up to fight a boss."

When they arrived at their destination, two people were already waiting nearby. One was a very young and energetic guy, and the other was older, around 60 years old.

The old man first glanced at everyone before asking the middle-aged man, "Hayato, are we the only ones here?"

The middle-aged man called Hayato said, "We haven't found the others yet, so let's just do this today."

At this time, a huge cursed spirit roared in the distance. It looked like a turtle, with a hard shell and an ugly appearance.

Hayato pointed at the cursed spirit in the distance and said to the others, "This is the target of our trip. Just by looking at its appearance, you can tell it's worth millions. If we divide it among the four of us, each of us can get at least around 100 million, which is a considerable amount."

The young man seemed impatient: "Go ahead, I'll go play shotgun after I get paid."

Hayato looked at the young man and shook his head slightly, but it is always good to have fighting spirit.

Then he formed seals with his hands and chanted, "Born from darkness, from darkness to darkness, all filth and impurities shall be exorcised."

A curtain formed, enveloping the four people and the cursed spirit. Lu Chen was rather curious about his actions: "Do curse masters need to set up tents to do something like this? I thought everyone was lawless."

Hayato explained, "We still have to do what needs to be done, so that no one can cause trouble for us. And each of us has different reasons for not joining the official organization. And the tent can also prevent the cursed spirits from escaping. So it's better to use it."

In his heart, he secretly complained that if he could join the official team, how could he be a curse caster outside?

While being a Curse Master sounds cool, the reality is that their benefits are far worse than those of official personnel. Normally, who would choose to be a Curse Master when they could be in the regular military? While the authorities don't regulate their activities, they still have to abide by the rules. Who knows, Gojo Satoru might suddenly show up at his doorstep one day.

The upper echelons of the world of magic are basically extremely selfish and corrupt.

Seeing this, Lu Chen stopped asking these questions. Now that the stage was set, it was time to get to work.

At this moment, the spirited young man rushed forward, sword in hand, while Hayato took out a talisman and chanted a few words before a cursed spirit emerged from behind him. It seemed that he was a shikigami user who could summon cursed spirits.

Lu Chen ran towards the cursed spirit, and halfway through, he swung the steel wire in his hand towards the huge monster in front of him. The blue-green flames also passed along the steel wire to the monster. The flames continued to burn the cursed spirit and began to burn on it.

The young man rushed forward and slashed at the turtle's leg, causing blood to splatter everywhere.

But the large size means that it will not be knocked down by such small injuries.

The turtle curse spirit raised its foot at a speed far beyond his imagination, and then stomped it down. The immense impact directly sent the young man flying.

The older man took out a bottle and began to chant a spell. A white light flew towards the tortoise spirit and bound it.

However, it didn't work, the turtle curse spirit continued to move. It began to rush towards the few people quickly.

The old man anxiously shouted to the three people: "You must first find a way to weaken its magic power, otherwise I will not be able to seal it."

It seems that this old man should be the core of the few people who can capture the cursed spirit. His ability should be to seal the target.

Hayato's cursed spirit flew to the turtle's head and attacked. He rushed forward, drew the short sword from his waist, leaped up, and slashed at the turtle's neck. It had little effect. The turtle's cursed spirit simply swung its neck and sent Hayato and his cursed spirit flying.

Seeing this, Lu Chen slashed the turtle's neck with the steel wire in his hand from four directions. The steel wires intertwined to form a fire net.

The flames ignited the cursed spirit, and it began to struggle violently.

Then, he wrapped his fist in curse power and slammed it into the Curse Spirit's leg. The force of this punch directly shattered the Curse Spirit's leg.

The cursed power in Lu Chen's body is far greater than that of these people, so the damage he causes is naturally much greater than theirs.

Curse power is also basically impossible to train, it only increases with the skill of using it, but its amount is determined at birth. This is what is called talent.
