Invincible from Seeing the BOSS's Health Bar

The brief rest ends, and the players return to their respective families.

Zhuo Manzi, however, wears an expression of disappointment.

It seems her plan for cooperation has likely failed.

Lei Shenhao glances toward Diao Deyi’s direction, where the latter has already begun warming up, preparing for the afternoon’s hunt.

Unfortunately, things did not go as hoped.

The afternoon hunting results were even less satisfactory than those of the morning.

The only good news is, as the predefined route continues to advance, the quality of demons begins to gradually improve.

This is evident from the frequent requests for help from smaller families.

Such requests naturally benefit Diao Deyi.

Night begins to fall, and the demon extermination team starts to set up camp to rest, arranging staff to take turns keeping watch.

The Qingling Taoist, who didn’t leave the sedan for an entire day, opens his eyes slowly at this time.

Buzz!

Someone from the Qingling Taoist Temple’s team suddenly stands up abruptly by the bonfire.

”What are you doing?”

His companion is clearly a bit bewildered.

”Just going over there to relieve myself.”

The person replies calmly, then walks out with a somewhat stiff gait, though such details went unnoticed under the cover of night.

Only Fang Yu and Lei Qingzi almost simultaneously glance in the direction the person left.

Fang Yu retracts his gaze and continues to tally today’s demon hunt gains.

Lei Qingzi, on the other hand, slightly furrows his brows, appearing thoughtful.

This faint sensation, linking believers and between spirits, had been felt a few times before at Qingling Taoist Temple.

And now, this sensing reappears.

Though fleeting, it still evokes an indistinct feeling.

Lei Qingzi looks towards the sedan where Qingling Taoist is, but quickly withdraws his gaze, pretending to have discovered nothing and resumes devouring his meat.

The demon meat, cooked by a top chef with medicinal materials, is comparable to Great Replenishing Elixirs. Just one bite can increase quite some experience points; it cannot be wasted.

Though Hai Family doesn’t match Qingling Taoist Temple in professionalism, they can still transform demon ingredients into nourishing foods.

Fang Yu naturally also eats a few bites or rather has been allocated a portion.

Unfortunately, a few bites only gain a dozen points of experience, which hardly compares to slaying a demon.

Yet, eating this meat still attracts some envious gazes from people in Hai Family’s team.

”Demons we slay end up being eaten by an outsider who didn’t contribute.”

”Not only didn’t contribute, he also helped other family teams! Worked for free!”

”Hai Family’s Retainer is merely a title. In the afternoon when handling that demon, during times of danger, no one helped. This Retainer who should’ve helped, instead ran off to work on someone else’s territory.”

Some not-so-friendly comments spread within Hai Family’s team.

Fang Yu naturally senses the subtle changes in Hai Family’s attitude.

However, he pays little mind; let them say whatever they want, real experience points are what matter most.

Let them gossip among themselves; tomorrow will proceed as usual regardless.

Looking at the day’s gains, Fang Yu can’t help but lick his lips.

[Attribute Points: 41.]

Though mostly scavenging off demons other teams left severely wounded, the numbers are plentiful.

Wave after wave of demons, and even as the depth of the route increases, demon quality starts to rise.

Though the number of demons decreases, more teams request for help, allowing exposure to more demons.

Thus, many attribute points naturally accumulated.

Seeing the disputes near the bonfire, after Elder Hai Jingfu voice suppressed them, Fang Yu withdraws his attention.

Starts adding points!

[Attribute Points: 38→5.]

[Wood Zither Blade Technique [Tree Grade High-level/Initial Understanding]→Wood Zither Blade Technique [Tree Grade High-level/Reached Transformation Realm].]

Just a bit short.

Only a little more to break through to Wood Realm! To reach a new tier of strength!

Fang Yu feels invigorated.

On just the first day out demon hunting, the gains have been enormous.

As they proceed deeper along the route tomorrow and the demon quality improves again, it’ll surely soar!

With beautiful prospects for the future, Fang Yu begins closed-eye training, practicing [Spirit Shield].

Hai Family, one of Seven Great Families in Sunset City, naturally has a place on tonight’s vigil list.

It’s not because Hai Family uses reputation to suppress others; it’s purely because their power is strong, needing to actively bear part of the team’s security responsibility.

This is arranged by Qingling Taoist Temple, the usual practice, and this year is no exception.

Regarding Hai Family’s participation in the vigil, it actually just sends a few people to mix with other teams to stand guard.

This list is quite flexible, or frankly, people from Hai Family aren’t too willing to partake in such vigil duties.

Being the main force in demon extermination during the day is taxing enough; standing guard at night, even Martial Artists find it hard to endure. Operating at life-and-death stakes against demons is exhausting.

This presents Fang Yu with an opportunity.

He proactively requests to stand vigil, which goes against Elder Hai Jingfu’s preliminary arrangement, since deeper into the route, stronger demons may appear. Hence Fang Yu’s vigil task is reserved for the latter few days.
