Previously on Online: I Can See Health Bars...
Song Zhenrong was feeling down, staring silently at the corpse.
Although it was only a few days of acquaintance, the fact was that Zheng Jiajun had followed him, and Song Zhenrong had indeed nurtured Zheng Jiajun as a trusted subordinate.
Who could have imagined that just an investigation task would lead Zheng Jiajun to such a fate.
He looked towards the distance.
At the back of the team, in the endless darkness.
Song Zhenrong had every reason to suspect that there were more demons lurking secretly over there.
"Mr. Diao, I’m going to make a trip."
He mounted a horse and spoke to Fang Yu.
But the next second, Fang Yu grabbed the reins of the horse.
"If anyone’s going, it’s going to be me."
Though considering Zheng Jiajun’s remaining blood level, it seemed that this demon had been through quite a blood battle before finally taking Zheng Jiajun down.
Yet, who can be sure there aren’t stronger demons hiding in the darkness at the back?
Fang Yu’s swift comings and goings were fast.
Also, with someone as powerful as Song Zhenrong to protect the team, he felt at ease.
Most importantly, if there is a Great Demon, that would mean Experience Points! If Song Zhenrong kills it, he won’t get anything.
"Mr. Diao, the team needs you, and I’m not going now either; I’m just preparing to go back and gather the manpower, then kill them together." It was clear Song Zhenrong hadn’t realized Fang Yu’s intentions yet.
"I said, I’m going." Fang Yu looked into his eyes and softly repeated his meaning.
Song Zhenrong’s suppressed anger gradually subsided and cooled off, as reason began to prevail, and he nodded slightly.
"Everything according to your arrangement, my lord."
Then he looked at Meng Shan and the others.
"You all follow me back."
"Yes!" The crowd immediately responded loudly.
But...
"Wait a moment!"
Fang Yu smiled slightly.
Wait for what.
Fang Yu didn’t say.
They didn’t have a chance to ask.
Because everything happened too fast.
Like a line of people, in an instant, heads separated neatly from necks.
On their faces, the previous expressions still lingered, not even having time to change emotions, when their heads had already moved.
"Diao..."
Song Zhenrong reacted the fastest, because among those present, his strength could slightly keep up with Fang Yu’s trajectory.
So he spoke up.
But the sound suddenly paused in the next moment.
Because...
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
A few blood mists exploded almost simultaneously!
Without exception... all members, demons!!
"Roar!!!"
"How is it possible?!"
"How did he discover it?!"
"Kill him!!"
The roars sounded, a few demons revealed their True Demon forms, but seemed somewhat dim-witted, as a few of them directly charged towards Fang Yu!
"Simply, not, knowing, life, and, death!"
Fang Yu spoke word by demon!
By the time the sound fell, the scene already had only demon bodies left, lying on the ground and bleeding continuously.
Is that it?
Fang Yu looked at the Experience Points in the system prompt, feeling completely unmotivated.
"...All, whole group annihilated. All squad members have been consumed by demons and replaced."
Song Zhenrong’s face looked ugly.
He only compared safety words with Zheng Jiajun, as for the others, he wasn’t heavily guarded, simply judging from their performance, the rest didn’t seem particularly suspicious.
Of course, this doesn’t mean they’re safe, just that they would enter an observation period, Song Zhenrong would judge based on their subsequent actions whether they had been replaced by demons, and would specifically assign people to secretly monitor them.
Life is precious, if there wasn’t a high probability they were demons, Song Zhenrong wouldn’t act rashly.
In Thunder City, he acted the same way.
With the other captains of the Foolish Underworld, his style could be said to be out of place.
This is also one of the reasons why Song Zhenrong’s reputation could receive support even at grassroots level.
"Mr. Diao, since they are all demons, that means..."
"Indeed."
Fang Yu interrupted him.
"So, it’s me who’s going."
Fang Yu mounted another fast horse.
"Ding Hui’s safety, the team’s safety, is entrusted to Captain Song, if Captain Song encounters a situation, please make a huge noise, I will rush back immediately."
After instructing, with a shout, Fang Yu let the fast horse gallop forward, straight into the darkness at the back.
Demons, here I come!
...
That crowded team filled with the aroma of human flesh at the rear.
From a distance, following the human-created Party, the number of demons increased from a few at the beginning to dozens!
However, no demon dared to directly attack that alluring party.
Normally, such large groups are often guarded by powerful humans.
To feast upon them, one must have strength.
And they, lack strength!
At least, in the face of unknown beings, these demons with little confidence can only huddle together, hoping to claim a share of the bounty.
Tonight, a few demons couldn’t resist and attacked a human squad sent out from the party.
"They approached on their own; it’s not like I intended to feast!"
"Feasted as I did, so what? You don’t dare to feast, but you still want to stop us from feasting!"
"Cowards! Watch us infiltrate the party secretly and feast! With so many people, if one or two go missing, who would notice, who would care!"
"If meat comes to your door and you don’t eat it, you’re a foolish demon!"
Everyone was watching.
Everyone was observing.
Silent attention.
Soundless waiting.
They’re waiting for a result.
Waiting for a change.
And this result, this fortune, arrived shortly.
Clip-clop.
Clip-clop.
Sound.
The rapid trampling of hooves on the ground!
Coming from the darkness ahead, closer and closer!
Another... human to sacrifice himself?
The demons in the darkness grew restless.
They watched with their own eyes as those few weak yet brave demons consumed the blood and flesh of several humans, possibly infiltrating the human party.
To claim they have no aspirations would be false; but cautious as they are, the surrounding demons’ tacit agreement not to take action made the demons hesitate, missing that opportunity.
Now, a second wave of opportunity is before them.
"This one is mine!"
Sure enough, a demon couldn’t help but announce its claim in the darkness.
Then, the second demon spoke.
"Red-skinned Rhinoceros Demon, are you worthy? This one is mine, the next one I’ll give to you!"
The greetings among demons are so simple and rough.
The demon that spoke first growled irritably, showing no intention to back down.
Since someone already dared to take the first bite, what could stop the second person from imitating?
Are there more demons who’ve been moved than these two?
In the darkness, several, even dozens of demons were squirming, ready to turn lost humans into dishes any moment!
Then transform into human appearance, blend into the fragrant crowd and feast!
"If I knew it was this easy, I wouldn’t have waited!"
In the darkness, demons’ minds flashed with this thought.
Nobody expected those few demons to so easily subdue the human party’s squad.
Nobody expected such a large party to seemingly be a soft target, a moving mass of meat, only requiring them to show their fangs to take bites! Plunder!
But the safest approach tends to be... to wear human skin first, observe a bit!
It’s here!
Humans riding horses approached in the dark!
The moon happened to reveal its edge from the dense clouds, slightly illuminating the scenery below.
The sound of hooves suddenly halted, all demons glanced forward.
A young man sat on horseback, facing the dense, dark obscurity where dozens of demons were hidden, smiling broadly.
"Gentlemen, you’ve hidden well."
The demons, ready to move, felt their hearts skip a beat.
He can see?
He can see us hiding within the small secret dark mist of the Black Sky Demon?
Feeling unease rise, the prey seemed to be transforming into the predator.
And then, the young man spoke again.
"Gentlemen, encountering humans, why not feast?"
"Come at me, I can handle it."
"Embarrassed?"
"If you won’t feast on me, then I shall... feast on you!!"
As the words fell, before anything could clearly be seen...
Boom!!!
The secret darkness of the Black Sky Demon, hiding dozens of demons, suddenly exploded open!!
The black mist felt as if struck and dispersed, fog scattered, clouds parted!!
All demons hidden within the black mist, felt stripped naked, exposed before Fang Yu’s gaze!
With dozens of demons staring wide-eyed, dumbfounded at the unreasonable might of a certain someone.
That was... the strongest protective measure of the secret Black Sky Demon Lord!
Both to confuse enemies and its most powerful defense.
Yet now, it dissipated... in a single blow??
As the demons were caught in bewilderment, Fang Yu grinned.
"I declare, you’re surrounded by me."
