Invincible from Seeing the BOSS's Health Bar-Chapter 1129 - 495: Formula Meltdown (Part 2)
However, since Fang Yu took the initiative to suggest starting the night watch early, Hai Jingfu thought for a moment and agreed.
"Elder..."
Hai Kongxin seemed to have something to say, but was interrupted by Hai Jingfu.
"The first batch of the night watch team is too weak overall. With Diao Keqing around, we can rest a little easier."
So that was the consideration...
Upon hearing this, Hai Kongxin said nothing more.
He just glanced over at Fang Yu and let out a couple of cold laughs.
The wilderness is different from the town. In the wilderness, the priority is how to conserve strength and maintain the best combat readiness at all times.
People like Diao Deyi exert all their energy fighting minor demons and even volunteer for night duty. When they finally realize the problem and face formidable demons, it's bound to lead to tragedy!
Too young! Just too young!
Hai Kongxin eagerly anticipated this scene happening and believed it was inevitable. It was just a matter of whether the Elder would be willing to save them at that moment.
It might not even require a powerful demon—just one on par with that guy. In an exhausted state, the chance of being taken down by a demon of equal level is very high.
The deadliest danger might not come from a strong opponent but rather from an unnoticed detail.
Some teams started to fall asleep and rest. The demon extermination team gradually quieted down, leaving only the sound of insects around becoming increasingly distinct.
Meanwhile, it wasn't long before Fang Yu's shift time arrived, and he joined tonight's night watch team.
"What a hassle, I could've been asleep by now..."
The person changing shifts with Fang Yu mumbled, but it didn't attract anyone's attention.
Fang Yu watched as the person headed towards the Qingling Taoist Temple's rest area, giving a couple of extra glances.
It seems that in addition to the Seven Great Families sending people to strengthen the night watch team, the Qingling Taoist Temple also deployed personnel for night watch rotation.
However, the person from the Qingling Taoist Temple seemed relatively weak, with just over two thousand health points.
It's likely the first day of demon extermination, so everyone was relatively relaxed, with weaker personnel dispatched. The intensity would increase later.
This actually makes sense. Although Sunset City regularly engages in demon extermination, if something happens to a caravan or someone around Sunset City, they would still send people out to eliminate demons, but not on a large scale.
Consequently, this leads to the decline of demon quality surrounding Sunset City. With weaker demons, there's no need to send strong people to defend the night. A moderately capable lineup suffices.
At this point, Fang Yu scratched his head.
He had finally managed to switch to a night watch opportunity, yet it seemed as if no demons were planning to attack them.
Not good.
It looked like this night was really going to pass peacefully, and his opportunity for night watch would be wasted.
Stirred by restlessness, Fang Yu suddenly had the bold idea to actively search for demons outside but quickly suppressed it.
Can't be too reckless!
If a powerful demon appears, being all alone at night could be deadly.
No rush, no rush. The demon-exterminating path has just begun; there's plenty of opportunities later to kill demons.
Calming his restless inner thoughts, Fang Yu composed himself.
Even if there were no gains tonight, it didn't matter. Take it slow.
At that moment, Fang Yu suddenly heard something.
His heart skipped a beat.
"I'll go check over there!"
In terms of identity, status, and even strength, Fang Yu was a leadership figure in this night watch team. Whatever Fang Yu intended to do, naturally, no one dared to oppose.
The Nightwatch Team was not singular; Fang Yu's night watch team was considered the core team, being relatively large in number. Other small teams were positioned at other locations for night patrol.
It seemed that the small patrol team nearby was making noise, so Fang Yu naturally prepared to investigate.
Fang Yu was quite proactive during night watches. Even at the slightest disturbance, he would check it out, although it often turned out to be nothing. Yet Fang Yu took enjoyment in it.
The other team members were long accustomed to this, letting Fang Yu act freely.
Fang Yu then strode toward that direction. As he approached, he seemed to witness a team member's health bar in the frontal squad suddenly emptied!
-888!
[Shanghu Mei: 0/1000.]
Around the corpse, the team members appeared as if under immobilization spell, frozen in place, not even acknowledging [Shanghu Mei]'s death!
Fang Yu:!!!
Fang Yu instantly became alert!
There were demons!
But the problem is... where are the demons?
Exactly!
Fang Yu couldn't see any demon's health bar!
Instinctively realizing something was wrong, Fang Yu opened his mouth to shout.
"..."
The sound didn't carry out.
Like a pantomime, Fang Yu only made the action of speaking, but no sound emerged. It was then that Fang Yu noticed his footsteps had vanished without his awareness.
Just moments ago, before [Shanghu Mei]'s blood gauge disappeared, he could still hear the faint sound of his footsteps on the grass.
But now, he suddenly couldn't hear anything.
It's as if a silent barrier moved towards him, enveloping him!
Anyone else might have already panicked.
But Fang Yu has dealt with demons before, and even creatures like the Silent Night Demon had once been under his command, so he wasn't fazed by this kind of silent ability.
Typically, this kind of silent barrier has a limited range.
So, Fang Yu turned and ran!
Without seeing a blood gauge, not knowing where the demon was, or its exact strength, Fang Yu wouldn't act recklessly.
Safety first, in everything.
But just as he retreated!
Fang Yu immediately sensed something was wrong.
Clearly, he was running backwards, but the camp seemed infinitely far away, no matter how far he ran, he couldn't get closer!
It was like he was stuck in a ghost wall, treading in place!
Stamp!
Fang Yu stopped his steps.
He began to feel the pressure.
The unknown is the most terrifying.
A demon hidden in the shadows, one whose blood gauge he hadn't even seen yet, honestly, Fang Yu felt a bit uncertain.
Trying to shout again, but still no sound came out, Fang Yu's expression turned somber.
Boom!!
The powder around his body shook!
Bone Armor, activate!
Run again!
Just three seconds.
In just three seconds of sprinting, the infinitely distant-looking camp ahead began to distort.
The scene started to change like an ink painting.
It was like a game scene with a graphical glitch, twisted into a mess.
Fang Yu realized something, abruptly stopping.
The distorted image of the camp in front quickly restored to normal, still infinitely distant, unreachable.
But... in reality, it's not so.
"So weak."
Fang Yu suddenly spoke.
"I ran with all my might for just three seconds, and you couldn't hold on anymore?"
As if in response to Fang Yu, or maybe in anger, Fang Yu distinctly felt the soil beneath him loosen and swell a few times.
Just as Fang Yu warily thought the demon was about to strike... he saw the Nightwatch Team member standing still over there, their blood gauge rapidly dropping a few times before clearing to zero.
Fang Yu:...
Can't provoke me, so you go after a kid with less than a thousand blood points? What's with this shame-turned-anger? Got angry in a fit of rage?
"Trash."
Fang Yu's body surface slowly exuded blood-colored steam, gradually gathering around him.
It vanished.
In the moment when the blood-colored steam overflowed from the body, enveloping him, that mysterious binding force like a ghost wall suddenly disappeared, or rather, was counteracted.
Then came the sound.
The unique nighttime tranquility, the sound of insects chirping, suddenly filled his ears.
No wonder it's a force that naturally counteracts demons.
Fang Yu used the Martial Artist's power, which was raw force to break through, like suddenly applying immense pressure to a machine, causing it to explode and fail.
Whereas Spirit's power offered a targeted solution.
It might not seem as violent sensory-wise, but in fact, it's also a kind of violent breakthrough with a more apparent effect.
The ground began to wriggle; that demon started to panic and move away, but it was already too late.
In the Bone Armor form, he slowly raised his fist and then slammed it heavily to the ground.
Bang!!!
The surrounding ground, centered on Fang Yu, showed waves of violent undulations! It was as if this soil had been transformed by something, no longer with the properties of ordinary soil, but with a unique soft texture.
But under Fang Yu's violent hammer strike, the subtle changes were destroyed.
Amid these wavy undulations, something broke through the surface twice and suddenly fled away!
