When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village

Chaotic thoughts scampered through her mind as Julia's gaze towards Black Fu gradually emanated an unusual radiance.

She pondered carefully and concluded that there could only be two reasons Bai Fu would go to such lengths for her.

One, Bai Fu lusted after her body, believing she could extract her power from it.

Two, Bai Fu lusted after her body, but this lust differed from the former, understood only by those who know.

The idea that Bai Fu was a saintly figure, wishing to save everyone she encountered, was utterly groundless.

Had Julia only heard about Bai Fu's exploits at the Abandoned Cooling Factory, she might have thought so, but having encountered Bai Fu in the Goli Desert for a while, she knew very well that although Bai Fu appeared to be a Female Bodhisattva, she was in fact a blend of black and white.

Of course, Julia didn't dislike this trait now.

During the two years of betrayal and capture, she had realized deeply that to survive in this chaotic world without using some cunning was extremely difficult.

Furthermore, another truth she understood was not to be swayed by emotions.

Previously, she would have insisted on staying because Bai Fu came to rescue her, fighting together until the very last moment.

[Even if we die, we'll die together!]

But now, she had shed her naive "innocence," knowing that in her current condition, staying would not only fail to assist Bai Fu but would also become a burden, making leaving promptly on Bai Fu's advice the right choice.

"Bai Fu."

Julia's gaze towards Black Fu grew resolute.

"If you die, I will come back and avenge you, letting the entire Truth Society pay for your death."

Her voice, as she spoke these words, carried neither hatred nor venom. It was simply a flat narration, as though reciting an established backdrop, yet this bland tone, coupled with her ice-blue long hair, stunning face, and the smile curling at her lips, conveyed an inexplicable sense of intimidation.

Bai Fu was moved.

She had thought Julia would say something like "You must survive" or "Once we escape from here, just xxxx," setting her up with multiple flags. Instead, Julia had given her a reverse flag.

This was good, and she felt her chances of leaving the Truth Society's main base alive had greatly increased.

"Go."

Bai Fu, controlling Black Fu, waved her hand.

Julia turned and quickly departed under the escort of Little Black Fu.

Bernardo, noticing the commotion from afar, immediately commanded the mutant fierce beasts to pounce towards Julia.

"Kill her!"

"Hmm?"

Black Fu subtly raised her eyebrows. As the mutant fierce beasts approached halfway, several pre-ambushed Little Bai Fus exploded violently, resembling thousand-pound hammers hitting the chest and abdomen. The leading mutant fierce beast screamed as it was blasted into the sky, shattering the ceiling above into debris.

The first round of confrontation ended with Black Fu gaining the upper hand.

At this moment, Ed became anxious. His position was high within the Truth Society, but his power was insignificant. Once Bai Fu and Bernardo started fighting, even a slight ripple was enough to end him.

"What should I do? How should I..."

Black Fu, without turning her head, responded, "I don't have time to worry about you. Whether you survive depends on your luck."

Ed gritted his teeth and turned to flee.

If he could escape the base, he might still have a chance to survive.

But just as he reached the escape passage, the ceiling suddenly crumbled. Accompanied by falling concrete chunks and broken steel bars, a steel claw adorned with curved blades emerged, inserting into the flesh around his neck, twisting, and a surge of blood shot up as his head was brutally ripped off.

"Ah—"

Ed's scream abruptly ceased.

Moments later, a mutant fierce beast, about 3 meters tall, jumped down from the broken ceiling. It nonchalantly tossed Ed's head onto the ground, its crimson eyes glaring fixedly at Bai Fu, nostrils emitting scorching breath.

"Since you insist on obstructing, then trade your life for Julia's!"

Desire to devour flashed in Bernardo's eyes. After his statement, five or six mutant fierce beasts had already begun closing in on Black Fu from various directions.

Black Fu looked solemn.

Now was the time to fight for her life, and she wouldn't hold anything back anymore, not even if she was merely a Twin True Spirit instead of the original.

"The best method when surrounded is to target one of them for attack!"

Fury augmented, Black Fu activated Superpower Burst (Bai Fu), Spiritual Energy decreased by 30%, Life Value by 20%, but with two special skills overlaying, her All Attributes soared by an extra 15%, and Power, Agility, and Spirit gained an additional 18, 18, and 10 points respectively.

Yet it was not over. She targeted the mutant fierce beast with the highest attribute bonus on the field, binding him with a Chain Reaction, forcibly stealing 12% of his attribute bonus buff.

At this moment, Black Fu's attributes had completely surpassed the original Bai Fu.

All these changes happened in an instant. A second ago, for Bernardo's perception, Black Fu resembled a sun. A second later, he suddenly saw Black Fu transform into a supernova about to erupt, unbearably hot and dazzling.

What was happening?

He instinctively sensed trouble but was utterly unable to react quickly enough, as Black Fu's speed was too fast. With Agility nearing 130 points and possessing the Flowing Light skill for forced displacement.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Black Fu had already appeared in front of Bernardo, combining the Illusionary Law Ball to limit the surrounding mutant fierce beasts, and launching a Dark Burning three-hit combo straight to the face. Spiritual Energy turned into dark flames, like meteorites from heaven, heavily hammering onto Bernardo.
