Invincible from Seeing the BOSS's Health Bar

Dark.

As dark as the world can get.

Ever since entering the Death Forest, beyond the torch’s reach, there is only endless blackness.

The light that should have seeped down from above is completely blocked by the dense towering trees.

After entering the Death Forest, Fang Yu feels like he has stepped into a dark alternate space, unable to distinguish direction or sense time.

”How long have we been walking?”

Fang Yu asked Ling Huxiang in a low voice.

”Just an hour ago.”

Ling Huxiang was quite alert and described the time with precision.

With the Juling Gang members leading the way, they seemed rather at ease.

Don’t be fooled by how the Juling Gang behaves obediently like good kids in front of Zuo Caicai; their team’s real combat power is much stronger compared to theirs from the Foolish Underworld.

Therefore, unless some powerful demons appear, ordinary ones are eliminated by the Juling Gang members before they even get close.

”This is just a warm-up; we should have gradually reached the core of the Death Forest. The forest is vast; the deeper you go, the more dangerous it becomes. But conversely, once out of the core area, the danger decreases significantly.”

”In other words, if we can endure through this section, it will become relatively safer ahead.”

Fang Yu immediately understood, gathering his spirit.

Is it any wonder that having an elder in the family is like having a treasure?

Ling Huxiang’s field experience allows Fang Yu to receive timely and effective feedback.

Once his team regained their spirit, Fang Yu noticed that Jin Yexue, who had been interrogated earlier, was still looking over at him.

What’s wrong, hoping I’d save you?

We are at most brief acquaintances like master and servant; you’re overthinking it.

Fang Yu decisively ignored her.

Although unsure how Jin Yexue obtained the artifact, it’s clear this opportunity comes with tribulations.

Survive the crisis, hold the artifact, make a strong start, and even overtake others on tight curves.

If you can’t withstand it, then it’s just a matter of starting over from scratch.

Just as Fang Yu thought of this, suddenly, one of the Juling Gang members bellowed and dashed forward with a torch.

What’s going on?!

Fang Yu felt startled, and others clearly hadn’t reacted; they just watched as the torch-wielding Juling Gang member ran further away, and as his torch’s flame suddenly extinguished, his silhouette disappeared in the distance.

”...Gone mad?”

Fang Yu asked, his expression odd.

Ling Huxiang just shook her head, but her hand was already on the hilt of her longsword, ready to act at any moment.

The Juling Gang members leading the way had already stopped, cooperating to vigilantly observe the surroundings.

But their torchlight didn’t reveal any abnormalities.

”Don’t stop, keep moving!”

Zuo Caicai’s voice, like an emperor’s command, turned the Juling Gang members’ faces pale, as they exchanged glances, silently raised their torches, and cautiously resumed their pathfinding.

The team’s pace slowed down; every step the Juling Gang members took was very careful.

Fang Yu also raised his torch, probing the surroundings, but all he saw was towering trees, shrouding his vision, just layers upon layers of tree shadows.

No health bars surfaced at all.

Just then, Fang Yu heard a sound.

Or rather, everyone in the team heard a sound.

It was a woman’s crying.

Mournful and sorrowful, it seemed to appear directly in their minds rather than echoing from somewhere far away.

Fang Yu’s heart skipped a beat.

This thing seems a bit like Ding Hui’s trick.

”Did you hear that?” Fang Yu asked.

Ling Huxiang continued to nod, just grasping her sword tighter.

The crying grew increasingly loud, nearly overwhelming the eardrums.

”Come out!”

Zuo Caicai suddenly shouted coldly, her voice seemingly wrapped in Qi Power, twisting and distorting the woman’s wailing into a strange, meaningless static.

But once Zuo Caicai’s voice faded, the static immediately reverted to a ghostly cry.

The teams of Juling Gang, Hei Family, and Fang Yu all instantly halted.

Goodness gracious, I’ve always said, instead of searching for ghost stories in reality or adventure streaming, it’s better to enter the game and face demons directly.

This is undoubtedly first-rate ghostly audio, far better than any adventure streams.

Raising the torch high, Fang Yu scanned around, yet he saw no targets.

With a sudden thought, Fang Yu looked up.

[Mist Shadow Illusion Fox Demon: 35000/35000.]

A fox’s tail was exposed on a tree branch, revealing the health bar above its head.

Merely thirty-five thousand health for a demon?

Seems overly theatrical.

The tense atmosphere moments ago dissipated instantly.

Any ghostly cry, any Great Demon attack, crumbled in an instant.

For others, a pitch-black environment, but for Fang Yu, it’s merely whether he can see the health bars.

”It’s here!”

Fang Yu was just musing when Ling Huxiang suddenly exclaimed inexplicably, then soared into the air, slicing with her sword into nothingness.

Fang Yu: ???

Are you cutting air?

As soon as she landed, Ling Huxiang rolled thrice in place, shouting in surprise.

”Diao Deyi, help me!”

Lunatic!

You’re sparring with air; how am I supposed to help you!

Fang Yu knows to doubt himself first before looking around; Dong Xingzhou and Zhu Huida are also looking puzzled at Ling Huxiang’s frenzy.

Beside him, team members all wear odd expressions.

Apparently, it’s not his issue, but Ling Huxiang’s.
