Invincibility starts when I see the BOSS health bar

Zuo Cai'er's team in front was obviously still very motivated and prepared to rush to the end in one breath, but Fang Yu's team began to fail to keep up.

At this moment, two choices were placed in front of Fang Yu.

The first option is to speed up and mix with Zuo Caier and his team. But that would be equivalent to giving up the safety of everyone behind.

The second option is to slow down and share the difficulties with your own team. But now I don't know how far the [Black Bath Heart] can go, and whether the [Spirit] will come after him.

Maybe because of a moment of weakness, for the sake of love and unity, he went back to join the team, but was brutally destroyed by the team, and ended up ruining his own life.

In the wild, it's not just playing house, you can really die at any time.

Although Fang Yu still has the trump card of player resurrection, his fear of death is not that strong, but who wants to die if he can live? He is not familiar with the people behind him.

It's just that Zuo Caier's team may not necessarily accept him. This is the key to the problem.

If you are alone, you might as well go back and lead your own team to have more capital to survive in the wild.

In addition, Linghu Xiang next to her is a purely indigenous NPC. It is hard to say what she will do under such pressure.

If she doesn't protect herself, she will be punished by heaven and earth. If she really abandons the team in order to survive, no one can say anything.

Just as Fang Yu was thinking, Linghuxiang spoke.

"Lord Zuo Cai'er! There is strength in numbers. We should have escaped from the previous barrier by now and are at a safe distance. Please take me with you and we will act together!"

Can it be done?

Fang Yu frowned. Judging from their previous reactions, Zuo Lu and Hei Ao had very little say in the team, and the others had no intention of acting together with him and others.

Sure enough, after Ling Huxiang finished speaking, Zuo Caier and others in front didn't even respond at all.

Yudi Mansion and the five major families do not have a close relationship. You can forget about being polite in the city. You are fighting on your own in the wild. Do you still want others to help you? Why?

Hei Ao and Zuo Lu seemed to have begged for mercy, mainly to withdraw with just Fang Yu, but still nothing happened.

Their team doesn’t need outsiders.

Fang Yu's pace had slowed down at this time.

He already knew that it was impossible to retreat with Zuo Caier's team.

He looked back at the people in the team.

Dong Xingzhou gritted his teeth and looked at himself in silence.

Zhu Huidao was carrying someone on his shoulders, his eyes were cold and there was no change in emotion.

The rest of the people were more or less alert, with a bit of pleading in their eyes.

Fang Yu took a deep breath and gradually fell to the rear, getting further and further away from Zuo Caier's team in front.

“It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others.”

Linghuxiang had also stopped at this time, looking at Zuo Caier's team going away, and said coldly.

With the strength of their feet, they can certainly hang behind Zuo Cai'er's team and follow closely, but it doesn't mean much. Others can really ignore you until death, so what's the use of following other people's team? It's better to stay. , take action with your own team.

As long as the [spirit] behind doesn't catch up, their team can still handle the other monsters.

"Captain Diao!" Dong Xingzhou shouted excitedly as he caught up.

"Captain Linghu!" Although he was as calm as Zhu Huidao, there was a bit more excitement in his eyes at this moment.

Between life and death, there is great terror.

If they were left behind by the two captains, they would definitely be in bad luck.

Even if you are not killed by a [spirit], walking in the wild where it is not an official path is dangerous every step of the way.

But things are different now. The return of the captain seems to have given the team a backbone. The momentum of the team suddenly returned, as if their hearts dropped. Everyone shouted excitedly for the captain while maintaining their formation and running out together.

There was another loud rumbling sound from behind, which scared everyone and immediately accelerated again.

Fang Yu didn't know how far their team had run. He only knew that some people in the team gradually fell down from exhaustion and were picked up by their companions, helping each other move forward.

This is not an ordinary run, but a run in which everyone tries their best. Just like the short planks of a barrel, the weak will continue to drag down the strong, making the team slower and slower.

Fortunately, after running so far, they had already escaped from the previous round pit area, and because they were making a lot of noise, demons came to attack them from time to time, so it was basically certain that they had escaped from the safe area.

Fang Yu took the opportunity to earn another four attribute points. There was Linghu Xiang who was very powerful next to him, so it was a bit uncomfortable to divide the spoils.

"This way."

Linghuxiang said.

Fang Yu glanced at the carving marks left on the bark of the big tree next to Linghu Xiang, and nodded slightly.

That's an arrow.

There is a word [left] written underneath.

"Fortunately, you have a good relationship with Miss Zuo, otherwise this journey would have been difficult."

Their team was not as strong as Zuo Cai'er's team. They ran all the way and were already exhausted.

Fortunately, when they encountered the little demon, Fang Yu and Ling Huxiang took care of it casually.

If you encounter a big demon and require the team's combined efforts, there will be heavy casualties.

Fortunately, there were marks left by Zuo Lu, which allowed them to follow the route of Zuo Caier's team, so they were relatively safe along the way. They even saw the corpse of a huge monster that had just been killed.

"Everyone, please work harder. If we find a suitable place, we will camp and rest."

Fang Yu turned around and shouted.

According to his idea, he should run as far as he wants. Who knows if that guy from the Hei family can kill [Ling]? If not, if Ling catches up, it will definitely be safer to run as far away as possible.

The team marched again, and finally, when it was getting dark, they saw the ruins of an abandoned village.

There are broken tiles and ruins, and there are dilapidated houses everywhere, basically without roofs, or even lying on the ground. There is only one dilapidated temple, which barely has a roof and can block the wind. It stands at the end of the abandoned village. central.

In the distance, you can vaguely see a bonfire burning over there, and a group of figures standing there.

You don't need to think about it to know that it must be Zuo Caier and the others.

"Youyou Village."

Fang Yu glanced at the half-buried village stone tablet on the ground, and led his men and horses into the village.

…

In an abandoned temple.

Zuo Caier, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, slowly opened her eyes.

"Since you're here, come in and sit down."

Linghu Xiang, standing at the door of the ruined temple, bowed respectfully.

"Zuo Caier, we will only stay one night and leave tomorrow morning."

Behind Linghuxiang was Fang Yu and the team members he led.

Fang Yu secretly glanced at Zuo Caier's strength.

[Zuo Caier: 5508/6513. 】

It only has more than 6,000 blood, so it’s not that great!

Fang Yu muttered secretly, not realizing that in terms of physical strength, he only had more than 4,000 health points now.

"Leaving tomorrow morning? There's no need to tell such lies. You guys have followed the traces left by Lu'er all the way. Don't they just want to come and seek refuge with us?"

Linghuxiang smiled awkwardly.

"Master Zuo Cai'er, multiple people, multiple caretakers. Our journey has been quite smooth, why don't we act together for now?"

"Stop pretending, you and I have the same goal. And there are only a few tools. Letting you competitors die in the wild is the most important thing for me to do, isn't it?"

With that said, Zuo Caier stood up slowly, and the people around him also drew their swords!

This move frightened everyone behind Fang Yu and quickly drew their swords.

For a moment, the sound of clanking swords being drawn could be heard endlessly, and people and horses on both sides formed a confrontation across the temple gate.

Fang Yu, who just thought Zuo Cai'er was not good, suddenly started to sweat profusely.

Linghuxiang remained calm, but her eyes frequently glanced towards Fang Yu behind her, as if seeking help.

Fang Yu didn't speak, but looked at Hei Ao and Zuo Lu in Zuo Caier's team.

Hei Ao has no right to speak now. He is piled with the Hei family like a kidnapped puppet.

On the other hand, Zuo Lu's salary has been greatly improved, and he is protected by several masters with three or four thousand HP.

Feeling Fang Yu's gaze, Zuo Lu frowned and shook his head slightly at him.

What's the meaning?

Don't take action? Or surrender directly?

Fang Yu quickly thought of countermeasures.

I originally thought that Zuo Caier defaulted to Zuo Lu and left the mark because she wanted the two teams to join together and work together.

As a result, it seems now that someone else might have invited you into the urn and started a bloody purge.

The wilderness is different from the city. If you kill someone, it won't matter at all. You can just frame it to the monster.

Fang Yu calmed down. The situation was just a confrontation, not a fight, which meant things could turn around.

Looking at Zuo Cai'er's team, although everyone has good health and strong combat power, they are actually not satisfied with their health. It seems that they had a fierce battle with the big demon when they escaped, and suffered a lot of damage.

Of course, with this level of damage ratio, there is still no problem in taking down their small team. Just one Zuo Cai'er is enough for them.

So what Zuo Caier means by this move is...

A sudden realization flashed through Fang Yu's mind. He raised his hand and suddenly suppressed the right hand of the long sword raised by Ling Huxiang. He took a step forward and stood at the front of the team.

"Master Zuo Cai'er, I think we can talk."

Zuo Caier was obviously slightly surprised.

"Oh? The person in charge of this team is not Linghuxiang, but you?"

Linghuxiang, after all, had been the captain of Yudi Mansion for several years and was somewhat famous outside.

As for Fang Yu, like the captain who came up quickly in the rocket squad, he really couldn't stand the eyes of the boss.

But it doesn't matter, because Fang Yu has already captured Zuo Caier's needs.

"Master Zuo Cai'er, if we fight head-on, it will only increase our losses. As long as you say a word, we can turn around and leave, pretending that we have never met each other, and we will not follow your team in the future. It’s about finding another way forward.”

"But if... Master Zuo Cai'er has any other conditions for cooperation, you can put them out and let's talk about them together, right?"

Zuo Caier frowned and sneered at the corner of her mouth.

"Are you, or should I say you, worthy of negotiating terms with me?"

She had no choice but to grovel in front of the elders of the Hei family.

But facing this group of rotten fish and rotten shrimps, her reputation as Mrs. Cai is not just as simple as Mrs. Zuo's family.

"That's wrong. Everyone has their own value. I think Master Zuo Caier should already have a price in mind for the value we have now, right? Otherwise, why would you bring us here, and why would you just confront us? , instead of killing him directly? I have heard of Master Zuo Caier a long time ago. If you want to kill a young boy like me, it will be easy."

Zuo Caier smiled.

She laughed at Fang Yu's arrogance and also laughed at Fang Yu's intelligence.

She held out a finger.

"It's very simple. You want to join my team? Yes. But there is one condition. You will be responsible for the periphery of the team. If you encounter a demon, your people must go first. Agree to this condition and you will stay. Do not agree to this condition. , get out of here now!”

"It's too much!"

Linghuxiang couldn't help it on the spot, but was quickly stopped by Dong Xingzhou.

The rest of the team was also emotional.

Is this a condition for staying? This is not about using them as cannon fodder! When they encounter demons, they go to them, and the people of Zuo Cai'er can sit back and enjoy their protection. Is there such a good thing in the world?

"Think clearly before you speak. I have to remind you that the further you go, the more you and I will encounter are not just demons or spirits. There are also big forces and masters from other cities. With just you, there are Are you qualified to achieve your goal, and are you qualified to compete for those tools?"

It sounds so nice, but the conditions offered are not to make us slaves!

Fang Yu's face darkened slightly and he looked back at Linghu Xiang.

The latter stared at him coldly and shook his head slightly.

Understood.

Looking directly at Zuo Cai'er, Fang Yu said in a deep voice.

"Master Zuo Cai'er's conditions are too harsh, and we can't afford them. So, I'll leave as soon as possible!"

After saying that, Fang Yu turned around and prepared to call the team to evacuate the place.

As a result, in the next moment, a cold breath locked on Fang Yu, causing his movements to freeze instantly.

"When did I say... you can leave?"

Zuo Cai'er's terrifying aura was released continuously in an instant.

Her body floated slightly, looking down at Fang Yu and others.

"Since you don't cooperate, you are a competitor. My Zuo family has never been soft on competitors."

The battle is about to break out.

Cold sweat slipped from Fang Yu's forehead.

He could almost foresee that this would be a one-sided massacre.

And other than him, even Linghu Xiang could hardly escape!

Zuo Lu, you have hurt me!

I thought that following your mark would protect me and others from going forward safely, but I didn’t expect that it would be a dangerous place!

Fang Yu felt bitter in his heart and turned around to face Zuo Cai'er, already starting to prepare [Wood Blood Three Thousand Escape].

Just try your best to see if you can't beat them and then withdraw. You can only feel sorry for your teammates like Linghuxiang.

But I am a dead Taoist friend but not a poor Taoist. We still want to live...

"Cai Niang!"

Just when the war was about to break out, Zuo Lu suddenly shouted loudly.

Fang Yu and Zuo Caier glanced away, only to see that Zuo Lu had stabbed the dagger into his chest at some point, causing blood to flow out.

This move made Zuo Caier obviously stunned.

"Lu'er, what are you doing!" She yelled loudly.

"Let them go! Diao Deyi followed me because he trusted me, but now you want to kill him, how will I, Zuo Lu, behave in the future! How can my Zuo family have the face to pretend to be one of the five major families in the future!" Zuo Lu is rebellious. Periodically, he roared with an angry look on his face.

At this time, Zuo Cai'er also noticed that Hei Ao, who was not far from Zuo Lu, had black lines crawling all over his body at some point and quietly entered a fighting state.

The surrounding Hei family members were also nervous, as if they would take action if the battle broke out.

Without the suppression of the mafia elders, the leader of this team has quietly changed.

Along the way, everyone in the Hei family was actually responsible for what Fang Yu and others were about to do, and they were on the periphery to clear the way for the people of the Zuo family to kill monsters.

The dissatisfaction along the way has long been accumulated, and now is the opportunity to explode.

Looking at everyone in the Zuo family, in fact, they had undertaken similar tasks before when the gang elders took the lead, so everyone in the Zuo family was actually injured and in poor condition.

If a battle breaks out now, all the men in the Yudi Mansion will be wiped out, and everyone in the Hei family will also suffer heavy casualties, but the men in the Zuo family will probably not be much better. It can be said that all three will suffer!

Thinking of this, Zuo Caier's expression suddenly softened.

"That's all...that's all! I didn't expect you to be so infatuated with this man. Whatever the case, I will let them join the team and take turns with the Hei family to carry out peripheral protection tasks. If they encounter a big demon, I will be the enemy. The Zuo family takes action to settle things. Can you accept this condition? I'm from Yudi Mansion."

The last question was directed at Fang Yu.

For a moment, everyone's attention was focused on Fang Yu.

Linghuxiang obviously entered a state of rapid thinking, and then nodded slightly to Fang Yu.

Dong Xingzhou, Zhu Huidao and others all remained hostile to everyone in the Zuo family and kept a vigilant distance.

Hei Ao also frowned and looked at Fang Yu. He didn't know what choice Fang Yu would make. And Fang Yu's choice, this third-party external force, will make the situation here change differently.

They, the Hei family, need this external force to bring about changes.

But he also cared about Fang Yu's life and death, so he did not intervene in any way.

Zuo Lu was also looking at Fang Yu at this moment, with guilt and regret in his eyes, as well as a hint of pleading.

Obviously, Zuo Lu doesn't actually have much say in the Zuo family.

To retreat or not to retreat.

this is a problem.

Retreating will lead to chaos and chaos, with life and death uncertain.

If you don't retreat, you will become a lackey and share the risk of opening the road with the Black family.

After weighing the rights and disadvantages, Fang Yu finally made a decision and held his fist in the air.

"In that case, please take care of me, Master Zuo Cai'er."

Is this...a compromise?

Zuo Caier's face showed appreciation.

A look of disappointment flashed across Hei Ao's face.

Zuo Lu breathed a sigh of relief, and the maids quickly took away the suicide dagger and treated the wound.

As for the team members behind Fang Yu, their emotions were obviously fluctuating, but they quickly chose to obey the order and sheathed their swords.

"I hope that Sir Zuo Caier can keep his words and take action personally if he encounters a strong enemy." Fang Yu said meaningfully.

Zuo Caier laughed twice.

"It's easy to talk, come on, brothers from Yudi Mansion, come in quickly, sit by the campfire to keep warm and rest. Keep your spirits up, we have to be on our way tomorrow morning."

Just laugh now.

There will always be a time when your blood volume is low. Then it’s up to you to see if I can do it or not!

[Zuo Caier: 5508/6513. 】

Fang Yu looked at the blood bar above her head and thought to himself.

Fang Yu's team took their seats one after another to rest.

Everyone in the Hei family also returned to a state of rest from a tense state.

Although they lost a chance to fight for their lives, they also gained a group of teammates who helped them share risks.

In a sense, it relieves their pressure.

It is impossible to say whether this result is good or bad.

"Zuo Lu."

Fang Yu sat next to Zuo Lu, looking at the woman who almost died trying to save him, with a slightly complicated mood.

But Zuo Lu himself said with a smile.

"What! I am interesting enough!"

Fang Yu smiled.

"I'll admit it, if you want my help in the future, just ask!"

"Do I need your favor? Mother-in-law, mother-in-law! Get out!"

Zuo Lu playfully kicked Fang Yu, but the wound was affected and he coughed up blood.

The maid next to her was so frightened that she quickly pulled Fang Yu away and went to take care of her.

Fang Yu sighed, left a copy of the medicine prepared by Ding Hui for him, and then walked towards Hei Ao.
