Invincible from Seeing the BOSS's Health Bar

Ling Huxiang, who was keeping watch at the entrance, hesitated before stepping into the cave.

The space inside the cave was much larger than she had anticipated and seemed quite suitable for hiding and temporary residence.

However, when Ling Huxiang walked over to where Fang Yu and the others were, she was stunned by what she saw with her torchlight.

On the ground lay a corpse.

A massive demon corpse.

The body was enormous, with contours similar to a Bear Demon, but with traces of dismemberment.

Beside the corpse was the trace of an extinguished campfire.

But this time, the trace was handled perfectly, leaving hardly any signs, completely different from the beginner-like handling from before.

Only she, Dong Xingzhou, and Zhu Huida, with their rich wilderness experience, could see it; the others probably couldn’t.

”Can you tell what kind of demon it is?”

Fang Yu asked.

Ling Huxiang frowned and shook her head slightly.

She couldn’t recognize every demon, but given the size, the demon’s strength should be formidable.

”Check the surroundings for other demon corpses,” Ling Huxiang instructed.

The group received orders and began exploring with torches.

If there weren’t other Little Demons in the cave, it would mean this demon monopolized the entire cave, undeniably strong.

The results came back quickly, and apart from the Great Demon, there were no other bodies in the cave.

”Looks like we found a good place.”

Ling Huxiang breathed a sigh of relief.

When such a Great Demon occupied a place, typically no other demons would dare to provoke it.

Even though the Great Demon was now dead, staying a night should be fine, relatively safe.

She crouched down to carefully examine the demon’s corpse.

After a while, she suddenly spoke.

”Very strong.”

As Fang Yu was directing the crew to extinguish the fire and set up camp, he was taken aback by Ling Huxiang’s words.

”What?”

”The one who killed this Bear Demon was very strong!”

Ling Huxiang looked up at him.

”Stronger than you and me!”

Just you, don’t include me.

After breaking through my realm, I don’t even know how strong I am!

”Could it be someone from the Hei Family?”

Fang Yu asked suspiciously.

”Possibly, but probably not the same group. Look at the campfire traces on the ground...”

”What campfire traces? Where?”

”...Look at the patterns here, carefully.”

Fang Yu looked left and right, unable to discern anything, awkwardly raising his head, only to see Ling Huxiang sigh.

”I’ll teach you how to look for traces later. Anyway, the way this group handled the campfire traces, the way they cleaned up, is leagues beyond the riverside group we encountered before, indicating they are very savvy wilderness experts.”

Fang Yu felt a headache coming on.

Anyway, there were stronger people ahead paving the way for them.

No matter, letting predecessors plant trees while successors enjoy the shade.

He decided to enjoy the benefits left by his predecessors.

”Since the campfire was dealt with, that group should have already left, so we don’t need to worry.”

”Yeah, but if we encounter them later, we must avoid conflict. The mission is related to the Foolish Underworld; our lives are our own.”

The last sentence was whispered by Ling Huxiang to Fang Yu.

It seems they shared common ground regarding self-preservation.

Looking at what remained of the Bear Demon’s body, valuable Bear Gallbladder and such had already been taken by that group, but the remaining parts were a nice bonus for the others in their team.

People were dispatched to dismember and distribute the remains as spoils, and the team began to set up camp and rest.

Fang Yu received a portion of high-quality bear meat, intending to cook it for his second sister to nourish her after returning.

Once night watchers were arranged, everyone quickly went to sleep and rest.

Due to only having two top-tier experts in the team, Fang Yu and Ling Huxiang took turns keeping watch.

Fang Yu was responsible for the first half of the night, Ling Huxiang for the second.

Before Ling Huxiang fell asleep, Fang Yu pestered her for more wilderness knowledge.

Unfortunately, Ling Huxiang was punctual and closed her eyes to sleep when it was time, completely indifferent to the presence of a large man beside her.

”Every moment of rest in the wilderness is very precious.”

This was the last thing Ling Huxiang said to Fang Yu before closing her eyes.

Helplessly, Fang Yu stood outside to keep watch.

If demons appeared at night, he could exert himself and gain some experience.

Unfortunately, the first half of the night was so quiet that even the sound of insects could be heard.

Come second half, Ling Huxiang woke up very punctually.

”You sleep.”

She swapped guard duty with Fang Yu, along with a batch of deputy captains for rotation into rest.

Fang Yu decisively logged off, quickly grabbing something to eat before logging back on.

Outdoors, he couldn’t rest easy off-line.

Fortunately, nothing had happened while he was off-line.

Under Ling Huxiang’s puzzled gaze, he got up and began his Martial Arts Training.

”You’re not sleeping?”

”No sleep, training.”

”...Up to you.”

Ling Huxiang said no more, but she didn’t let Fang Yu take over her duties either, insisting on continuing until the second half of the night passed, and dawn broke to wake the crew and organize them.

It was a peaceful night, and everyone had recovered from the tension of yesterday’s escape, feeling mentally good.

After a simple meal, the team prepared to head out again. Before leaving, Fang Yu specifically had the cave entrance vines rearranged.
