• Nan Feng, Long Wudi, and their companions attacked the Vein Demon Bear, whose Demonic Skyfiend Blaze and temporary defense boost made it difficult to injure.

• As the group faced mounting danger, Nan Feng spotted Purple Miasma blocking their route and urged the others to teleport away.
• After the others left, Nan Feng and Long Wudi chose to remain in the forbidden zone and chase the battered Vein Demon Bear.

Nan Feng and Long Wudi killed a Vein Demon Bear in the Violet Mist Forbidden Zone, then chose to push deeper rather than teleport back. After scouting ahead, they sensed a powerful creature nearby.

• Nan Feng used Weakness Piercing to spot the Vein Demon Bear’s fatal weakness and killed it with a shot to its lower back.
