Invincible from Seeing the BOSS's Health Bar

Chapter 151: Chapter 139 Still Undercover (2 more updates! Vote for monthly ticket!)_2

However, seeing his Junior Brother who had been missing for several days returning alive still brought some relief to Lin Wu’s heart.

Fang Yu feigned surprise.

”Senior Sister? What happened to Senior Mei?”

”You don’t know? She...Three days ago, during a mission at the docks, she was killed by demons. Her body was mangled, her heart crushed.”

Lin Wu knew that Fang Yu would understand the news of Shi Zhongmei’s death.

This wasn’t something that could be hidden.

But the fact that he also knew about the way Shi Zhongmei’s heart had been crushed was highly unusual.

Could he have been present at the scene?

Impossible.

That defies logic.

But now, certainly, he couldn’t ask outright.

Fang Yu blinked.

No tears came out.

Well, it seems the cultivation for [Moisturizing the Pupil] is back on the agenda.

With his head down and body shaking slightly, Fang Yu said with composure,

”So it’s like that!”

”Three days ago, I was also at the docks where I met Senior Mei. It seemed like she was leading a team on some mission, and then the docks were attacked by demons...”

”I got separated by the crowd at that time, fleeing everywhere. It was tough, but I somehow survived, only to find out...that farewell with Senior Mei ended up being eternal!”

Fang Yu clenched his fists.

”The demons, so detestable!”

”Do you know which demon killed Senior Mei?”

”Once my cultivation is sufficient, I must avenge Senior Mei!”

Lin Wu felt Fang Yu’s intense emotions, sighed, and patted his shoulder.

”I don’t know which demon killed Senior Mei.”

”I was still at the Lin Family at that time, not out on missions.”

”It was afterward when I saw Senior Mei’s body being carried back to the martial hall that I came to know the full story.”

”Ah...”

”I know you were the one who brought her into our sect, and you had the best relationship with her. Her sudden departure is indeed hard for you to accept.”

”Don’t be too sad, practice martial arts well, slay more demons, as a way to comfort Senior Mei’s spirit in heaven.”

A body?

Fang Yu paused in thought.

Bloody hell, someone actually dragged Shi Zhongmei’s body back to the martial hall?

Fang Yu was shocked.

He still remembered the scene of Shi Zhongmei’s death, riddled with piercing demons.

At the time, Fang Yu had thought about returning to hammer the body after the incident was over.

But then a series of events happened, leading to him being thrown into prison, locked up for two days and nights until he was finally released, naturally leaving no chance to go back for Shi Zhongmei’s body.

He hadn’t expected that by now, the body would have already been returned to the martial hall.

Fang Yu had an idea.

Three days had passed; there might still be piercing demons living within the body.

Perhaps... find a chance to sneak a peek?

No choice, lacking attribute points.

Just when there were so many secret manuals desperately needing them.

Attribute points simply weren’t enough, so he really had to try to earn some extra.

Thinking about this, Fang Yu pretended to be sad.

”Is Senior Mei’s body still at the martial hall? I would like to see her...”

Such sincere emotions!

Lin Wu was moved.

Such deep and sincere emotions could never appear in a place like the Lin Family!

Immediately, he said,

”Yes, her body and the bodies of other brothers and sisters are all placed in the side hall, awaiting a proper burial unless someone comes to claim them.”

”After all, they are people of our martial hall, just like family to us.”

Emotionally overwhelmed, Lin Wu felt his eyes redden and felt like crying.

So many familiar brothers and sisters had perished, something he had not anticipated.

He was too well-protected by his family, they hadn’t let him go out at all that day, as if the Lin Family knew something was going to happen.

At this moment, Fang Yu asked curiously.

”How could...How could so many brothers and sisters have met with calamity?”

”What exactly was the task that day?”

Lin Wu shook his head slightly.

”I don’t know, I wasn’t assigned a task.”

”But I asked others afterwards.”

”It seems like the people from the martial arts hall were sent to various places, mainly to help other forces, assisting with security patrol and such.”

”The Yuan Body Martial Arts Hall, relatively speaking, is already quite independent.”

”But you can’t withstand the larger environment.”

”When a major power gives the word, asking you to send people to assist with patrols, do you dare not comply?”

”There’s no choice, if today you dare to defy the major powers, tomorrow Yuan Body Martial Arts Hall might as well be erased from existence.”

Fang Yu vaguely understood the awkward position of the Yuan Body Martial Arts Hall, and the decisions they were forced to make.

Even if disciples might be casualties, they had no choice but to face it head on.

No wonder Li Qianxuan had been very clear when he first recommended coming here, stating that Yuan Body Martial Arts Hall was just a stepping stone, and ultimately, they would have to return to the great power of the Foolish Underworld.

The reality was indeed so.

No matter how well one got by in the Yuan Body Martial Arts Hall, how comfortable it was, when a major event occurred, it was inevitable to become cannon fodder for the large powers.

Picking the right side to stand on, sometimes is more important than personal effort.

Yuan Body Martial Arts Hall was a typical example of this.

Lin Wu was already leading the way ahead, and Fang Yu quickly followed.

The side hall wasn’t far, shortly after walking they arrived.

Upon opening the door, a stench of corpses assaulted the senses.

Looking inside, what a sight, over thirty shrouded corpses quietly lay there, decomposing and stinking.

Lin Wu also looked embarrassed.

”Master said, within these two days, they will definitely be put to rest.”

”The main objective is to investigate disciples who have disappeared like you, to see if we can find their whereabouts, or their bodies.”

”If we still can’t find them by then, we’ll just bury them all together.”

As Lin Wu spoke, he suddenly noticed that Fang Yu seemed to not be listening to him at all; Fang Yu’s attention seemed to be entirely on the corpses.

Lin Wu sighed inwardly.

Junior Brother Diao still cared deeply about feelings.

Unlike some other brothers and sisters who had become indifferent to such deaths.

They looked at the corpses without any emotional response.

But Lin Wu did not know.

At this moment, what Fang Yu saw were not the corpses.

But densely packed health bars!

Short health bars, slowly wriggling, covering most of the surface of the corpses.

And as time passed, suddenly one or two short health bars disappeared, which were insignificant compared to the massive number.

Fang Yu’s breathing became rapid.

In such a lack of experience points situation, seeing so many health bars, he was somewhat unable to restrain himself.

”Here, Senior Mei’s body, is right here.”

Just then, Lin Wu spoke.

He led Fang Yu to a body covered by a white cloth, his face showing sorrow.

Because Master usually didn’t manage affairs much.

Thus, in the martial hall, many things were actually planned and handled by Senior Mei, whose strength wasn’t particularly strong.

In terms of presence, sometimes she even left a deeper impression than the Master.

Even many disciples were brought in by her.

That initial medicine soup test, without Senior Mei’s exchange service, many poor people wouldn’t even manage to start.

Though she exploited a loophole in the rules, and it was an equal exchange, she still helped many newly entered disciples through the toughest initial phase, and Master turned a blind eye, which was as good as an approval.

Many people in the martial hall felt a deep pang of regret and sorrow for Senior Mei, while their emotions were relatively less intense for other brothers’ and sisters’ deaths.

But in Lin Wu’s view, all the martial hall brothers and sisters were family, and every death was a big blow to him.

”Senior Mei... Senior Mei!!”

Fang Yu lay on Senior Mei’s body, his voice tinged with a cry.

He saw it.

Less than a hundred Demon Kill vermin were on Senior Mei’s body, clustered together near her thigh area, struggling weakly.

The difficulty with which that health bar wriggled showed that it was close to death.

Compared to the active, high-frequency wriggling of the short health bars of the surrounding brothers and sisters, it was no match.

One was like an elderly person nearing the end of life, the other like a vibrant youth, not even on the same level of activity.

However, this did not stop Fang Yu from coveting those health bars.

The only problem was how to stealthily find the opportunity to extinguish that health.

Fang Yu had intended to secretly touch Senior Mei’s thigh to directly annihilate the Demon Kill vermin.

But his current position was lying on Senior Mei’s chest, and to suddenly reach for her thigh from this distance would be too conspicuous.

With a sideways glance spotting Lin Wu’s somewhat relieved yet complicated expression, Fang Yu had a sudden inspiration.

”Senior Brother Lin Wu, could you please stand guard at the door for me? I wish to talk to Senior Sister alone, to say some words.”
