Invincible from Seeing the BOSS's Health Bar
Chapter 876 402: Underground Demons (Part 2)
The original length was estimated to be around seven to ten meters.
This underground demon was heavy, but under the strange force of Fang Yu and the others, it was still thrown into the air.
As soon as it reached mid-air, sunlight hit the tumor-like part of the underground demon, and it immediately trembled all over, emitting a strange and shrill scream, a sound that humans don't typically hear, almost indistinct.
Fang Yu immediately saw numbers like '-12!''-38!''-19!' appear on the underground demon exposed to the sunlight. Although the numbers weren't big, they appeared rapidly.
It feared the light!
Fang Yu quickly realized.
"Captain Linghu!"
Someone shouted out at this time, reminding Ling Huxiang to make a move.
Others quickly drew their bows and shot.
The underground demon, already in excruciating pain from the sunlight, was instantly hit by a dozen arrows, riddled with bloody holes, twisting in mid-air as it fell.
However, the most anxious weren't Ling Huxiang or the team members, but Fang Yu.
Because this thing, in his eyes, was a big bundle of experience points.
[Tumorous Long-Tentacle Fiend: 16510/23015.]
The health bar, dropping too fast.
Under the siege of deputy captains with generally a thousand or two thousand health, combined with himself as the main force, from the moment the [Tumorous Long-Tentacle Fiend] emerged from the ground to when it was thrown into the air, under the sunlight, its health had already plummeted.
Fang Yu leaped up directly, but nearby Ling Huxiang jumped even higher and faster.
Slash!
Buzz!!!
As the sword hummed, the [Tumorous Long-Tentacle Fiend] in the air was cut into two parts.
-1182!
[Tumorous Long-Tentacle Fiend: 15328/23015.]
When others were dealing three-digit damage, this guy started with four digits, and judging by his appearance, he was still at ease, clearly not using his full strength.
Fang Yu naturally refused to be outdone, slashing a few more times at the portion that was falling, hitting the part with the tumor core.
This thing was obviously the core, surely it could deal massive damage!
-1857!
-1962!
-1789!
-1807!
[Tumorous Long-Tentacle Fiend: 7913/23015.]
Sure enough, a few slashes later, the effect was significant, and the damage directly surpassed by far.
As the tumor hit the ground, it shook violently, and in an instant, the soil surface was shaken into small pits, its body already halfway into the soil.
Ling Huxiang landed and quickly shouted.
"Don't let it burrow underground!"
But there was no need for her to shout; the rest of the team had already charged forward, frantically slashing.
Fang Yu only saw that under the group's encirclement, [Tumorous Long-Tentacle Fiend]'s health bar plummeted rapidly; by the time he rushed in front of the [Tumorous Long-Tentacle Fiend], its health bar was already empty, only the team members were still frantically hacking at the corpse.
"So you wanted to attack us, huh! You wanted to attack us, huh!"
"Kill you! Kill you! Pretending to be gods and ghosts! Hiding underground, does that work! Does it work!"
"Want to kill us? Just you, a little demon, want to kill us!"
The team members growled lowly as they hacked, almost crazily, as if venting the fear in their hearts.
It was apparent that the sequence of events just now had put a huge psychological pressure on them.
This is the wilderness.
No one knows what they will encounter the next second, whether it's a little demon or a completely unbeatable Great Demon.
As the system prompt sounded, Fang Yu had long since stopped moving.
[Tumorous Long-Tentacle Fiend: 0/23015.]
[System Prompt: Congratulations, player, for participating in the slaying of the [Tumorous Long-Tentacle Fiend], acquiring 5900 experience points.]
[System Prompt: Experience points exceed 100, converting to a total of 59 attribute points.]
"Everyone stop! It's already dead, gather your things, check the wounded, treat the wounds, then we continue on our journey!"
Ling Huxiang remained very calm.
She wiped the blood from her face, then glanced at Fang Yu.
"Just now... thank you."
Though just now, even if Fang Yu hadn't made a move, at most she would have been injured a bit, before counter-killing this underground demon.
Yet this sentiment must still be acknowledged.
"Just mutual assistance."
Fang Yu only decided to join when he clearly saw the [Tumorous Long-Tentacle Fiend]'s health bar.
Otherwise, he would have just turned around and left.
A Great Demon with twenty thousand health didn't even last a minute under everyone's siege.
Though there was direct sunlight and an added bonus of striking at a weak point, the current strength of this team was evidently ordinary.
You should know, on the night of the attack on the Lin Family, I did battle with a Great Demon of Endless Blood for quite a while before finally defeating it.
"Captain Linghu!"
Suddenly, a team member shouted towards Ling Huxiang.
Fang Yu and Ling Huxiang turned to look, and it turned out to be the team member lying on the ground, still maintaining the posture of listening to the sounds from the ground, with a furrowed brow.
[She Jiachou: 1321/1500.]
This was the name of the team member, not particularly strong, but seemingly had good hearing.
Fang Yu and Ling Huxiang exchanged a glance and walked over to him together, only to see him making a shushing motion before whispering.
"Captain Linghu, something seems off... there's movement underground!"
Fang Yu frowned, listening close to the ground, but couldn't discern anything.
Ling Huxiang also listened to the ground, only to frown slightly.
"How many?"
She asked.
Apparently, Linghu did not have a specialized cultivation technique in this area either and could not make anything of it.
"Hard to say... they're approaching! Wait, they're getting closer!"
She Jiachou suddenly stood up, looking panicked.
"It's the smell of blood! They're following the scent of blood!"
They?
Could there be quite a few?
Fang Yu felt a chill in his heart.
If it were just one or two Tumorous Long-Tentacle Fiends, given the previous battle, Fang Yu felt that their team wouldn't have much trouble handling them.
But if their numbers increased to a dozen or even twenty, the situation would be completely different.
Once these things burrow underground, they become much harder to deal with; the last one was quickly dispatched only because it was yanked to the surface.
"Move out! Move out! Everyone, get moving now!"
Ling Huxiang clapped and shouted, then quickly mounted her big black horse. She turned around and extended a hand towards Fang Yu.
"Get on!"
Huh?
Riding the same horse?
While hesitating, suddenly a few Mist Grass started shaking violently in the line of sight.
However, there was no wind at this moment!
The Tumorous Long-Tentacle Fiends were already getting closer!
"Hurry!"
Fang Yu took Ling Huxiang's hand and smoothly mounted the horse.
Grabbing Ling Huxiang's waist with both hands, feeling the soft touch, Ling Huxiang shouted.
"Go!"
The big black horse led the way, with the rest following closely.
As they ran, they cut through the grass. At this point, they couldn't care about the threat of the Eight-Armed Nine-Soldier Demon; they had to first consider the immediate threat.
If they didn't cut down the weeds, they couldn't see the movement on the ground clearly.
The lush fragrance followed them all the way; Fang Yu suddenly felt slightly dizzy and immediately realized that he too was starting to get affected.
The others had more or less taken detoxification medicine along the way to alleviate the symptoms, but he hadn't used anything like that until now.
From his pouch, he took out the versatile Detoxification Pill Ding Hui had prepared, swallowed a small piece, and the symptoms of dizziness alleviated quite a bit.
Anything made by Ding Hui is sure to be excellent!
"Are they following us?"
Ling Huxiang shouted.
She was only responsible for blazing the trail ahead; it was Fang Yu's job to monitor the surrounding situation and the status of the team behind.
Other than initially feeling the softness of her waist, Fang Yu spent the rest of the time fully alert to the surroundings.
Since they hadn't surfaced, Fang Yu couldn't see the underground demons' health bars and naturally couldn't detect their traces; he could only rely on his eyes.
"They've given up; some of the underground demons should have given up, but quite a few are still following."
As they ran, with the team clearing a path by cutting down the grass, the view behind them became quite clear.
Whenever the ground moved, Fang Yu could immediately notice.
"Speed up! Everyone, keep up with my pace! Did you hear me?" Ling Huxiang immediately shouted.
"Yes!"
The crowd responded.
Everyone understood that what Captain Linghu really meant with those words was that those who couldn't keep up should fend for themselves.
"Giddy up!"
