Chapter 550: Chapter 262: The Road Home
Zuo Lv discovered that although the person approaching was not illuminated by the moonlight and their face couldn’t be seen clearly,
from their silhouette, she already recognized who this person was.
"Finally back, did those demons die?"
As soon as the words were spoken,
Fang Yu’s figure emerged from the dark shadows into the moonlit area, revealing his form and appearing in front of the two, then cracked a grin.
"Dead, dead as a doornail."
My move, could any demon escape?
That’s all Experience Points!
Looking at the system record.
[System Prompt: Congratulations, Player, for killing the Rushing Demon and earning 550 Experience Points!]
[System Prompt: Congratulations, Player, for killing... and earning 830 Experience Points!]
[System Prompt: Congratulations, Player, for killing... and earning 900 Experience Points!]
[System Prompt: Experience Points have broken the 100 mark, converted into 23 attribute points in total.]
These demons provided much fewer Experience Points than the previous ones.
The reason is quite simple.
These escaping demons had previously been entangled in a fight with Hei Ao for quite some time.
By the time they escaped and were pursued by Fang Yu, their health points were actually not good.
Thus, the Experience Points granted for killing them were rather limited, which somewhat frustrated Fang Yu.
Fortunately, looking at the total number of attribute points gained tonight, his mood immediately improved.
[Attribute Points: 235.]
Can’t this let me soar?
To soar, how should I put it? Woohoo! Soaring!
Fang Yu’s mood was so buoyant, he almost started humming, forming a stark contrast to Hei Ao beside him.
"Diao Deyi, what realm are you at now?"
Hei Ao asked with a complex expression.
What realm?
Fang Yu glanced at his attribute list.
Well...
"Just the same as you guys, only Mid Grass Stage."
Mid Grass Stage?
Hei Ao and Zuo Lv exchanged glances.
Frankly speaking, they didn’t really acknowledge this Mid Grass Stage.
After all, they were at this stage themselves.
And within this realm, they should be considered among the best.
Among their peers, few could rival them.
Yet the demons that they couldn’t handle, Fang Yu dealt with easily.
This gap in strength clearly spanned a whole realm.
"Learned to hide your strength, huh? Keeping it concealed from us."
Hei Ao spoke rather resentfully, having somewhat of a complaining wife’s tone, which startled Fang Yu.
"What’s with this guy?"
Zuo Lv chuckled.
"He’s jealous of you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Hei Ao brushed off Zuo Lv abruptly.
"What jealousy! There’s nothing like that! Don’t slander me!"
"What’s there to it, I’m jealous of Diao Deyi’s strength too. Speaking of which, Diao Deyi, you must be at High Grass Stage by now, right? Advancing through two realms in succession, did you have some fortuitous encounter?"
Hei Ao, who had been alternating between pale and flushed, immediately became curious upon hearing Zuo Lv’s question, turning his head and staring intently at Fang Yu, as if he wanted Fang Yu to admit something.
But...
Fang Yu just spread his hands.
"I really am just at Mid Grass Stage..."
Seeing the skeptical looks on their faces, Fang Yu felt compelled to add,
"However, I’ve been feeling signs of a breakthrough recently, probably close to High Grass Stage."
That’s right, this wave of demon harvesting is absolutely a bountiful harvest.
Go back, add a point at random, and directly break through to High Grass Stage.
So, this statement wasn’t false.
Fang Yu couldn’t help but fantasize.
High Grass Stage, isn’t that Zhuo Xueer’s level?
Am I a Reserve Deputy Captain’s strength now??
Fang Yu stroked his chin, feeling his strength rising ceaselessly, wondering if... maybe he’s now stronger than Brother Qing?
Hehe!
Previously, it was always watching Green Demon’s strength rise steadily, step by step ahead of him, and now it’s finally my turn!
As Fang Yu reflected quietly, he completely missed the looks of realization on Zuo Lv and Hei Ao’s faces.
"Stop pretending, I knew you were already at High Grass Stage, otherwise the gap in strength between you and me couldn’t possibly be this wide."
"Don’t mention it, if it weren’t for Diao Deyi’s rapidly advancing strength tonight, we would probably have been in great danger."
To tell the truth, why does no one believe me?
Fang Yu felt depressed.
The pride within these two, made them subconsciously think that people of the same realm couldn’t possibly surpass them by so much in strength.
Even though in the same realm, I’m almost at Great Perfection, neither martial arts nor physique falling behind; adding a few more attribute points, I could break through.
And you two, just barely broke through 500 blood.
Honestly, Fang Yu even thought, these two guys are somewhat monstrous.
Just breaking through 500 blood, they could fight back and forth with those Thousand Blood Warriors, this ability to challenge across levels is simply amazing.
If they were to boost to a Thousand Blood, which is the Great Perfection of Mid Grass Stage, their strength should improve even further.
By comparison, my own Thousand Blood Power, dealing with those monsters with just tens of thousands less blood, is only a skirmish between peers.
Changing the topic tacitly, Fang Yu then spoke.
"Speaking of which, these demons are from the Bonfire Gathering, right? Has the Bonfire Gathering colluded with demons?"
Hearing Fang Yu bring up this matter, both of their expressions became somewhat solemn.
"It shouldn’t be... The Sect people behind the scenes, there’s absolutely no possibility of them colluding with demons." Hei Ao said in a grave tone.
Fang Yu pointed to the demon corpses on the ground.
"What about these demons then?"
Zuo Lv slightly furrowed her brow.
"A third party. The Sect behind the scenes must have collaborated with someone else, and the collaborator might be the one involved with demons. The people from the Sect probably don’t know about this, otherwise they would have immediately severed such a partnership. They extremely detest demons, even to an extreme extent; there’s absolutely no chance for cooperation."
