Chapter 898: Chapter 898 - 412: Truly Fierce

"The grass ahead is rustling!"

Ling Huxiang suddenly shouted!

Fang Yu quickly tensed his nerves, and the team behind him also stopped, immediately forming a battle formation.

After experiencing several battles, the members of the team gradually developed a mutual understanding, cooperating very naturally.

Fang Yu’s perception ability was far inferior to Ling Huxiang’s. He relied on seeing the demon with the naked eye to directly determine the strength of the demon, rather than locking onto the target location from a distance even with visual obstructions.

In this regard, Fang Yu had much to learn from Ling Huxiang.

However, right now wasn’t the time to talk about these things. At least wait until they set up camp for a rest or safely return to Tianyuan Town, then seek advice from Ling Huxiang properly.

Whoosh!

Just then, something jumped out of the grass ahead.

It was a four-legged deer-type demon, with fish-like gill-like structures growing on its antlers, giving it a disconcerting breathing motion.

Thankfully, upon checking its health bar, it had just over twenty thousand points of health.

Seeing so many humans here waiting, this Deer Demon clearly froze for a moment and stopped in its tracks.

"Charge!"

Fang Yu charged directly without hesitation.

A Demon with twenty thousand health points, take him down first!

Ling Huxiang evidently didn’t expect Fang Yu to act so impulsively and couldn’t stop him.

She couldn’t even see through the demon’s true nature yet; she should at least probe its strength before deciding whether to attack or retreat.

Now Fang Yu suddenly charged, forcing Ling Huxiang to reluctantly follow to provide cover.

But in the next second, Ling Huxiang saw Fang Yu, who had charged forward, suddenly come to a halt.

At least he has some sense.

Ling Huxiang thought to herself, and then realized why Fang Yu had stopped.

I saw from the grass where the Deer Demon had just emerged, another dozen or so Deer Demons jumped out, albeit slightly different in size, each exuding a formidable presence.

One of them had three antlers on its head, its body adorned with fish gill patterns of varying sizes, breathing in and out, seemingly unconsciously releasing a thin mist.

[Water and Land Confusing Deer Demon: 44970/44970.]

Fang Yu: ...

What a day!

Just sent off a Frog Demon with forty thousand health, and now comes another demon with forty thousand health; this wilderness off the main road is way too dangerous!

Fang Yu always felt that the quality of the demons they encountered was a bit absurd.

By this encounter rate, how many Martial Artists could survive?

Wait, no... the mortality rate in the wild has always been very high...

This is still with most people traveling the main road; the mortality rate would skyrocket for those not on it.

A forty thousand health Great Demon leading a dozen Deer Demons with twenty thousand health each.

While Fang Yu was confident in taking down the enemy, the people in the team behind might suffer heavy casualties.

Strike the leader first, Fang Yu glanced at Ling Huxiang, planning to join hands with Ling Huxiang to first take down the [Water and Land Confusing Deer Demon] with forty thousand health and then help others quickly deal with the Little Demons.

But when he looked, he saw Ling Huxiang frowning slightly and shaking her head at him.

What does that mean?

No fight?

But it’s a demon; if we don’t fight, they will...

Whoosh!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!!

Unexpectedly, while Fang Yu was still thinking the demons might attack first, the Deer Demons suddenly swirled past them from the side, quickly leaving the scene.

The life-and-death crisis battle suddenly dissolved.

Everyone in the team behind could only sigh in relief, feeling like they had escaped death.

Only Fang Yu felt a sense of frustration.

The attribute points delivered on a platter, how did they run...

Ling Huxiang also visibly relaxed.

In the wild, surviving is above everything else.

Unnecessary battles are just a waste of physical strength.

Though they didn’t know the exact strength of those Deer Demons, their aura was strong, probably tough opponents.

"Diao Deyi, next time don’t be so reckless. Let me ascertain the situation before we act."

Ling Huxiang said with a frown, Fang Yu could only nod repeatedly.

Just as Ling Huxiang was about to say more, her expression changed again!

"Spread out!!!"

She shouted abruptly!

Fang Yu, although not knowing what happened, chose to trust Ling Huxiang’s perception ability without hesitation and retreated!

The others reacted a bit slower, but fortunately...

Boom!!!

Something descended from the sky, landing in the grass heap beside them.

Rolling dust rose up, Fang Yu peered through the dust, only to see the ground seemingly unable to bear some terrifying pressure, forming tiered terraces sinking down layer by layer.

And at the bottommost level of the sunken ground, a round and slightly illusory Black Pearl quietly sat there.

Though it was just a Black Pearl, it seemed as heavy as a thousand pounds, and what confounded Fang Yu the most...

The Black Pearl didn’t have a health bar.

What kind of demon’s attack method is this?

Fang Yu was about to look away when, suddenly, an unbelievable scene unfolded before his eyes.

I saw the Black Pearl, which looked like a dead object earlier, slowly losing its illusory feel, gradually becoming solid, and above its head, a health bar slowly emerging!

[Thousand-Form Jewel Demon: 1/1.]

Its health, low to the point of frailty like paper, yet the method of going from no health bar to having one was absolutely incredible!

It’s known that a health bar signifies a living being.

And no health bar signifies a dead object.

Could it be that this demon transformed from a dead object to a living being???

What... does this mean?

Is it considered resurrection? Or was it death then rebirth?

Though Fang Yu didn’t understand, seeing such low health, lower than even normal human level, Fang Yu inexplicably felt a hint of apprehension.
