Summoning their courage and shouting slogans, the main force hurried towards the earth's core.

Along the way, many villagers, some still in their nightclothes, joined the ranks, armed with weapons like harpoons and iron rakes.

The life and death of the village was at stake, and everyone had a responsibility!

Seeing the number of people swell, Fang Yue gradually felt relieved. Surprisingly, he even spotted Xiao Hu in the crowd.

"Xiao Hu, over here!"

Fang Yue waved to Xiao Hu, who seemed shocked to see him. The tactical breathing fox trotted over, looking Fang Yue up and down with a bewildered expression.

"Ye-ge, what are you doing here? Oh, right, I remember you're part of the guard team too, but weren't you seriously injured? Beyond saving?"

The tactical breathing fox was a medicine boy, an apprentice under Hong Daifu (Doctor Hong). He had even seen Fang Yue with Hong Daifu before, and was the only player besides the NPCs who knew his physical condition.

Fang Yue's condition back then was, to put it simply, that of a cripple. He couldn't practice martial arts and was seriously injured, needing at least ten days to half a month to recover. He was practically a dead man.

Xiao Hu thought Fang Yue was basically waiting for dawn to exhaust his lifespan and die.

Who would've thought he'd see him hale and hearty in the patrol team, without a trace of injury, let alone meridian deviation or demonic possession?

Fang Yue chuckled mysteriously as he watched Xiao Hu circle him like an alien.

Tsk tsk tsk, Xiao Hu, your information is outdated.

What you saw before was the daytime version of me.

Now the version has been updated, all negative statuses have been removed, and the Nighttime War God has made a strong return!

In short, the nighttime me is like a cow riding a motorcycle—

In a sense, apprentices like Xiao Hu were being pushed out as scapegoats.

But players loved to participate in game events, watch the excitement, and seek death, so they didn't see any problem with it.

They even treated it as a quest to increase favorability and happily agreed.
