Invincible from Seeing the BOSS's Health Bar

”Look, someone else is dealing with the rescue signal, isn’t it great?”

”Exactly! We’re busy with our own matters, let the newcomer handle the outside issues, so we don’t disrupt our pace.”

As soon as Fang Yu left, Hai Congbo and the others chatted a bit, and Hai Kongxin’s expression turned even sourer.

With a displeased face, he said, ”I just don’t want that kid to be comfortable! Whatever he wants to do, I’ll just have to stop him!”

”You’re crazy! If you keep causing trouble, you won’t be able to leave home for half a year.”

”Just try to stir up less trouble. In a few months, my wife will give birth, and you, as the godfather, better not be absent.”

”Hmph!”

Hai Kongxin snorted coldly but didn’t argue back.

He was well aware of these things.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so restrained this time he went out.

If it were any other time, the moment that kid wanted to stick his nose into the woods, he would have already stepped in and stopped him, instead of just talking.

As for the term ”godfather,” it’s something they only say in private; in formal occasions, they stick with the proper titles.

...

Bam!!

With one punch, Fang Yu pierced through the demon’s heart.

In the crowd of ’little kids’ watching with mouths gaping in ’O’ shapes, Fang Yu checked the system prompt.

[System Prompt: Congratulations to the player for killing [Innocent Painter Fiend], earning 111 Experience Points.]

[System Prompt: Experience Points have surpassed 100, converted into 1 attribute point.]

At last, an attribute point has been credited!

A slight look of delight showed between Fang Yu’s brows.

After sweeping through the Qu Gang, Fang Yu, during the two days before the demon extermination operation, secretly paid visits to [House of a Hundred Clans] and [Papercraft Gang] at night. However, he couldn’t find where they had hidden the slaves, and all the main characters had dispersed and hid separately. It felt like a real-life situation where a debtor goes into hiding to avoid debt collectors.

So naturally, the plan to earn extra through the slave gangs went nowhere.

However, his mastery of the Spirit Shield had become more proficient, and as a result, the Erosion Level also increased significantly.

[Erosion Level: 30%.]

Fang Yu could clearly feel the strength of the Spirit growing day by day, but honestly, the rise in Erosion Level also started to weigh on him.

After all, unlike [Demonization], which can be reduced through allocation of points, the Erosion Level is almost irreversible.

Without finding a solution, Fang Yu hesitated to let the Erosion Level get too high.

”Wow, amazing!”

A voice suddenly broke the silence.

Fang Yu was suddenly encircled by the excited younger members of the Xun family.

The younger generation of the Hai family was at least at a fighting power of two to three thousand blood points.

The Xun family’s younger members, however, barely reached just over a thousand blood points.

”Sir, you’re amazing!”

”Is this the Hai Family’s [Tyrant Wave Fist]? So powerful!!”

”Thank you, sir, for saving us!”

Some were polite, some innocent and lively; the younger members from the Xun family were rather enthusiastic, circling around Fang Yu.

It wasn’t until the Xun Family Elder came that the crowd was dispersed.

”What are you doing? All of you! Such small demons had you stumped, and you needed Mr. Diao’s help! So lazy when training, see the danger now?”

Once the elder arrived, these guys all lowered their heads, silent.

”Thank you, Mr. Diao, this way please.”

After scolding the younger ones, the Xun Family Elder pulled Fang Yu aside.

”Mr. Diao, a little token...”

Fang Yu instinctively wanted to refuse, then realized... something was off.

The Xun Family Elder offered not silver tael, but a medicine pill, one that looked especially familiar.

”Bai Wuyuan??”

”Oh? You know this item, sir?”

The Xun Family Elder, initially ready to explain, looked surprised.

Fang Yu said calmly, ”I’ve heard of it. Where did you get it from?”

Bai Wuyuan, it was something developed by Doctor Wu, the famed young Divine Doctor of Tianyuan Town.

Previously, due to production issues, even within Tianyuan Town, one had to know someone to buy it.

But now, it had apparently circulated outside.

Could it be... after the fall of Tianyuan Town, Doctor Wu still lived? And had made his way near Sunset City?

Truthfully, Fang Yu felt a bit excited.

Not exactly a reunion with an old friend, but at least a fellow townsman, he’d definitely want to meet.

However...

”Sir, this [Bai Wuyuan] was scavenged from the corpse of a caravan. We didn’t kill them; it seemed like the work of demons. The corpses had been eaten by the demons, leaving only scraps. But these medicine pills and supplies were left untouched. Our disciples, while on an expedition, discovered them and brought them back. After some investigation and appraisal, we learned the value of this pill.”

”Just one?”

”Just one.”

Fang Yu returned the pill, ”It’s too valuable.”

”Not at all, not at all. You helped us in demon extermination, ensuring the safety of our younger members. Compared to that kindness, this mere [Bai Wuyuan] is nothing.”

But [Bai Wuyuan] is of no use to me.

Yet, since they insisted, Fang Yu accepted it anyway.

No wonder Hai Kongxin was competing with me for the job; there were these hidden benefits.

Unfortunately, [Bai Wuyuan] caters to common ailments, covering a wide range but lacks the targeted efficacy of specialist medicine pills.

So [Bai Wuyuan] was popular among the lower classes, while those a bit better off generally went for custom prescriptions instead of settling for [Bai Wuyuan].

A caravan’s corpses...

If there was only one, it might not be Doctor Wu’s corpse... right?

Fang Yu suddenly looked up toward where Tianyuan Town used to be.

To be honest, many days had passed since the town fell, but thinking back, Fang Yu still felt as if it was just yesterday, everything so vivid.

After the fall, Fang Yu wasn’t sure how many people he knew from Tianyuan Town were still alive.

The Xun family’s team began scouting again.

This time, Fang Yu stayed with the Xun family team, not leaving.

The Xun Family Elder was visibly surprised.

”Mr. Diao, you’re not returning to the Hai family team?”

”No rush.”

Now the Xun Family Elder looked slightly troubled.

Earlier, they had asked Fang Yu to save face and help them, but the demon that was killed was only a Blood Demon, something the Xun family could handle internally.

They invited Fang Yu because they saw he had some disputes with the Hai family, hoping to create goodwill and repay his help.

But inviting was easy, getting him to leave now... that was...

Whoosh——

Just then, a signal suddenly shot into the sky, bursting like fireworks, displaying a clover-shaped family emblem.

”It’s a signal for help from the Xing family.”

The Xun Family Elder’s eyes lit up and spoke.

”Xing family?” Fang Yu hadn’t heard of them, but...

”I can go help, right?”

”Of course you can. The distress signal is meant for the entire Demon Extermination Team. However, being so far, by the time you get there, the demon might already be dealt with. Perhaps you should wait a bit, and I’ll help you find out if any nearby family teams need assistance, making it more convenient for you.”

It hadn’t been long since they left Sunset City to start the demon extermination. Now, sending out a distress signal signified it was a small family lacking resources, positioned far behind. Typically, teams nearby would help.

If they couldn’t handle it, other families would also send out distress signals, and if signals kept appearing, it would mean it was time for bigger families to step in.

Currently though, it was a minor issue, as the Xun Family Elder said; Fang Yu going would just end up being useless.

”Actually, there’s no need for you to rush this much. Once we get deeper and follow the route, we’ll definitely encounter demons that most families can’t handle, and there will be plenty of demons needing your help then.”

The Xun Family Elder added another point, but Fang Yu was impatient.

Watching others kill demons while he was missing out on potential attribute points was eating at him!

”Elder Xun, you don’t understand. I am naturally opposed to demons! I can’t sit still for a moment!”

”Is that so... then I’ll go inquire about the surrounding teams’ situations for you, sir.”
