Invincible from Seeing the BOSS's Health Bar

Fatty Jin and the others wanted to seize the opportunity. However, Zuo Caicai already had one of the three artifacts, the Mountain Suppressing Stone, as well as the artifact holder.

Her opportunities were already maxed out before reaching Red Mountain.

To be honest, even upon reaching the summit, she wasn’t sure what level of powerful individuals she might encounter.

If they could bolster the team with more cannon fodder before reaching the summit, increasing the overall strength, perhaps they’d have more say upon arrival.

Thinking this through, Zuo Caicai made a decision and spoke calmly.

”If you want to bring me on board, you must first show your sincerity, and then I will consider cooperation.”

As soon as Zuo Caicai finished speaking, Fatty Jin’s face lit up with joy.

Having lived for decades, he could completely tell from Zuo Caicai’s tone that she was already tempted.

If she was interested, then the likelihood of success was high.

”In service to a powerful ally, we naturally willingly follow the master’s lead, advancing and retreating together. However, this agreement lasts only until the ceremony is completed; after that, how the treasure is contested will depend on individual means.”

Fang Yu understood that when it came to contesting the treasure, each seemed to have their own ideas, perhaps with a hidden trump card, lacking only the opportunity to engage.

Meanwhile, Zuo Caicai’s strength was enough to give them this chance.

Conversely, while Zuo Caicai holds the artifact and the artifact person, what she lacks is greater strength, plainly speaking, she lacks people.

Now Zuo Caicai needs people, they need opportunity, both sides saw eye to eye.

Just a simple probing and they immediately established the intention of cooperation.

The tone of the team was thus set.

This resulted in some awkwardness for Fang Yu and the Hei Family’s members.

Because the newcomers were much stronger than Fang Yu’s group, and even more advantageous compared to the Hei Family’s side.

The good news was, as outsiders, they now became the lowest-ranked members of the team, meaning they’d be first in line for cannon fodder jobs like sending them to their deaths.

After all, Foolish Underworld and Hei Family, even if they have conflicts with Zuo Family, they all came from Tianyuan Town, knowing each other’s backgrounds, even if something happened, they’d bring their mutual understanding. Zuo Caicai fully grasped the situation.

Unlike these outsiders, who could pull out some hidden cards and catch Zuo Caicai off guard, perhaps even cause them to capsize unexpectedly. Naturally, the trustworthiness was not as high as with the other two families, so the task of cannon fodder naturally fell on the outsiders first.

”You should know quite a bit about the people up there.”

After confirming cooperation, Zuo Caicai didn’t forget to squeeze their remaining value.

Fatty Jin and the others were very sociable, quickly moving to Zuo Caicai’s side and reporting quietly.

Fang Yu listened intently but heard nothing.

”Don’t waste your effort. Zuo Caicai is not only guarding against them, but we are also among her guarded objects.”

Ling Huxiang said quietly.

With the addition of Fatty Jin and the others, plus the acquisition of intel, Zuo Caicai seemed much more confident, and with a wave of her hand, the team continued its march towards the summit.

The team advanced grandly, and on the way, they saw another group.

But this time, this group just watched Fang Yu and the others climb from afar, choosing not to intercept or take any extra actions.

Fang Yu observed this group’s distribution of strength, which was roughly comparable to Fatty Jin’s team, led by Brother Xue with Thousand Blood Team mixed in.

”Who are they...”

Fang Yu asked aloud, deliberately raising his voice so Fatty Jin and the others could hear.

But unexpectedly, Fatty Jin, upon hearing the question, turned his head as if seeking permission from Zuo Caicai.

Some palace messenger eunuch, even though earlier Dong Xingzhou praised them so highly, now they behaved just like Zuo Caicai’s minions.

Zuo Caicai was clearly being served well, and with a mere glance, Fatty Jin started speaking.

”Pay them no mind, just a bunch of losers. Hiding on the mountainside, hoping to pick up scraps, yet lacking the courage to continue towards the summit.”

”Of course, if the passing team’s strength is insufficient, being captured by them will not end well.”

As he finished speaking, Fatty Jin gave Fang Yu a few more glances.

Clearly curious, how could such a young person have the right to speak in such a team? Could he be some young master of the Zuo Family?

Fang Yu’s reputation in Tianyuan Town was somewhat known, especially after advancing to Foolish Underworld’s captain position, where minor forces had to show some respect.

But outside Tianyuan Town, he was really nothing, the kind of person others hadn’t even heard of.

Fang Yu didn’t care what Fatty Jin thought, knowing what the roadside group was about, he continued to follow the team ahead.

The summit was getting closer, and they encountered several more teams on the way, but all were like the previous ones, simply watching them climb from afar, occasionally showing surprise upon seeing Fang Yu’s group climbing.

Along the way, they hadn’t encountered a single living demon as if the entire Red Mountain had been conquered by human teams, leaving no place for demons.

But when considering one leader after another of five thousand blood, six thousand blood leading teams here, what demon would dare provoke such strong martial artist teams.

Not to mention, even Fang Yu’s group alone was quite numerous, and looking at the entire Red Mountain, the human count was virtually overflowing.
