"Go help Zhu Huidao and Dong Xingzhou, I can handle this on my own here!"
Kidding , if you co to help, whose experience points do you think they'll count towards?
At the rear, Ling Huxiang watched as Fang Yu slashed furiously at the Big Mountain Demon, and inexplicably felt a sense of reassurance in her heart.
"The positivity of this guy is sotis quite crucial..."
Not everyone is willing to fight demons, nor does everyone have the enthusiasm for it.
But the one before her was different; as long as it was a demon, his enthusiasm was off the charts.
In a certain sense, this was a rather big plus.
-528!
[Mountain Forest Shell Demon: 0/32101.]
[System Prompt: Congratulations to the player for participating in the slaying of [Mountain Forest Shell Demon], gaining 2655 experience points.]
[System Prompt: Experience points surpassed 100, converted to 26 attribute points in total.]
Solo kill!
No, so experience points were taken by Ling Huxiang.
But still a solo kill!
After checking Ling Huxiang's safety, Fang Yu imdiately charged toward the other two Great Demons of Endless Blood.
Unfortunately, Dong Xingzhou and Zhu Huida, along with others, had already pressured the health of the two Great Demons of Endless Blood to about fourteen or fifteen thousand.
More people ans more power; the chasing demons looked fierce, but their numbers were far fewer than the team.
After so group attacks, the health bars quickly decreased.
"Captain Diao!"
Dong Xingzhou took half a step back, then quickly shifted the main force of the team to Fang Yu, turning from the main attacker to the assistant.
Knows how to play well.
Fang Yu's eyes flashed with appreciation, and then he imdiately launched a strong attack.
[Mountain Forest Tail Demon: 0/30154.]
[System Prompt: Congratulations to the player for participating in the slaying of [Mountain Forest Shell Demon], gaining 691 experience points.]
[System Prompt: Experience points surpassed 100, converted to 7 attribute points in total.]
Having joined halfway, and with so many people sharing experience, the attribute points gained were minimal.
Intending to help Zhu Huidao, he found that the demon had already been dealt with.
The remaining Little Demons scattered at this point, slipping into the darkness to escape.
No one pursued them, or rather, no one wanted to.
Because killing demons as a rear guard operation for the team had already distanced them significantly from the Zuo Family team in front.
Only a flicker of flas could be seen ahead, and if they moved any later, they might lose the direction to catch up.
"Captain Diao, the people from the Zuo Family didn't wait for us, they've gone quite far, should we catch up?" Dong Xingzhou quietly asked, stepping over.
This question made Fang Yu pause for a mont.
Then, he quickly reacted.
Clearly, this was an opportunity, a chance to break free from the Zuo Family's control.
But this opportunity could easily turn into a mistake that would lead everyone to their demise here.
The Zuo Family was indeed using them as cannon fodder, to clear the way as a rearguard, but if they encountered a powerful Great Demon, top expert Zuo Caicai wouldn't just stand by.
After all, if the cannon fodder died, their Zuo Family team couldn't escape the consequences.
Just like the Big Fox Demon before.
This also provided a guarantee, or safety net, for their Foolish Underworld team.
If they parted from the Zuo Family team now, that safety net would vanish, and leaving the Death Forest alive would be questionable.
But it could be foreseen that if they continued following the Zuo Family team and left the Death Forest safely, they would still be controlled by the Zuo Family and continue serving as cannon fodder.
This choice left Fang Yu montarily unable to decide.
In hesitating, he surveyed the surroundings, realizing everyone in the team was looking at him, awaiting his decision, while the Zuo Family team was becoming just distant points of light, almost completely out of sight.
Clearly, if he didn't decide soon, once the Zuo Family team left the visual range, they wouldn't even have the option to choose in the Death Forest.
"Ling Huxiang..."
Fang Yu looked at Ling Huxiang, the Foolish Underworld captain, with more field experience and better knowledge of the Death Forest.
"I didn't want to interfere with your judgnt initially, but since you're asking ... it might sound selfish, but I think we should stick with the Zuo Family team! Don't forget, there could still be a fox demon trailing us, and the Zuo Family team doesn't just have Zuo Family mbers; there are Hei Family and Juling Gang people, and outdoors, the more people, the safer it is."
Saying too much in one breath, Ling Huxiang paused, breathing slightly heavier, lifting her head to et Fang Yu's eyes.
"So, my thought is... keep up with the Zuo Family team, continue acting with them."
Currently, Ling Huxiang was severely injured, a half burden to the team.
If Fang Yu, the captain of the sa level, were not here, she could almost unilaterally decide the team's direction.
But right now, it was clear that Fang Yu's decision was most important, because for the team to continue surviving in the Death Forest, they needed the captain-level combat power Fang Yu provided.
At this mont, Fang Yu finally sowhat understood the pressure on those who lead.
A critical decision could alter the team's direction, determining whether they ultimately lived or died.
Truly, everyone was entrusting their lives to you; it's a matter of life-risking trust.
To find freedom, risking the exploration of the Death Forest for an exit.
Or for safety, quickly following the Zuo Family team.
This decision not only pertained to the team's life or death, but also to Fang Yu's own, as a team annihilation would leave him struggling to survive alone in the wild.
Fang Yu closed his eyes for three breaths, then opened them, making the decision.
"Catch up with Zuo Caicai and her group!"
"...Yes!"
Fang Yu's decision represented the team's direction.
Already lagging significantly, the team dared not delay, quickly pursuing the lights ahead.
Ahead, Zuo Caicai, feeling sothing, suddenly glanced back.
The torchlight representing the Foolish Underworld team was rapidly approaching them.
"Catching up, are they? In the end, they don't have the courage!"
A slight cold smile raised at her lips, then she looked toward Zuo Lv in the team, as if saying 'I gave them a chance'.
Zuo Lv kept her head down, saying nothing.
She knew Cai Niang well; this wasn't offering a chance, not in such a perilous place—striking out on their own would be courting death, not staying with the main force.
The Zuo Family team's marching speed was quick, but Fang Yu and the others were quicker, willing to expend more energy to avoid lagging behind.
Before long, their figures appeared behind Zuo Lv.
"Diao Deyi!"
Zuo Lv called to Fang Yu, who nodded slightly in response, but his gaze wandered to the roadside, where the torchlight revealed so bloodstains and several demon corpses.
It seed before they arrived, the Zuo Family team had also encountered a demon attack.
After all, without the Foolish Underworld serving as rear guard, the rear of the Zuo Family's team beca the new rearguard, the primary target for pursuing demons.
Having rejoined the team, everyone visibly relaxed, including Ling Huxiang.
Returning to the group seed to offer a sense of security.
"Are you scared too?"
Fang Yu inquired softly.
Ling Huxiang glanced at him.
"Everyone fears death, I am no exception."
"..."
Once she seed sowhat aloof, Ling Huxiang, at the mont, didn't seem all that otherworldly.
He scanned forward, still barely seeing the Hei Family Army, but the forefront leading Juling Gang was out of sight.
"The exit! I see the exit!!"
Suddenly, soone shouted from the front.
Everyone's spirits instantly lifted.
They quickened their pace, and indeed, a light appeared ahead.
A kind of amber light, characteristic of a setting sun.
Even so, that faint light, in contrast to the pitch-dark Death Forest, was still blindingly bright.
"Charge!!!"
"We're finally getting out!!"
"I am not staying in this damned place for one more second!"
