Chapter 39 - 39: Law-Controlling Class Demon System
Chapter 39: Law-Controlling Class Demon System
He had been logged in for nearly two minutes, and it was almost the time he had agreed upon with Li Hao.
"Foreknowledge!"
To be on the safe side, he still chose to use one foreknowledge opportunity, which could not only increase the chances of hunting down the demonic creatures but also let him know if that Li Hao would keep his promise of giving him the required items.
[You know that in Cell 5, there is an Outsider being held captive, and you plan to rescue them.]
[There are no guards encountered along the way, and you easily enter Cell 5 where a Blazing Bird demon is being held captive.]
[This is a demon with the power of Flame Mastery. As soon as you enter the cell, a ball of flame shoots towards you at high speed. Fortunately, you are prepared and barely manage to dodge.]
[The demon does not let up, sending two consecutive fireballs hurtling towards you at high speed. Even you struggle to dodge by the skin of your teeth. If you were any slower, you might have been blasted to death.]
[This situation lasts for dozens of breaths until the demon has exhausted most of its strength, and the frequency of its attacks gradually slows down.]
[You seize the opportunity, using the Bloodline Battle Technique: Earth-Shattering Fist to deal a heavy blow to the demon, followed by a powerful stomp on its body.]
[You successfully kill the demon and rescue another Outsider.]
[Afterward, the other Outsider expresses their gratitude to you and presents you with a Mortal-Level Demon Sutra and a corresponding bloodline as a reward.]
[Congratulations on obtaining the bloodline and Demon Sutra.]
At the end of the three minutes of foreknowledge, Su Nan had already arrived in front of Cell 5.
Using the Kun Tian Key to unlock the prison door, he quickly entered the cell.
A burst of crimson flame flashed brightly in the darkness, and Su Nan's swift response allowed him to dodge immediately.
Meanwhile, as he battled with the demon, Li Hao in another city prepared to log in to the game, having noted the time.
"That Kun Tian Prison must be an advanced map. Ordinary players like me wouldn't even be able to leave our cells if we started there."
"If that person can confidently rescue me, they must be far from ordinary. Could they be one of the top ten ranked players?"
Li Hao secretly speculated that if this was indeed the case, it would be a great opportunity for him.
The best way to quickly develop in this game was undoubtedly to ally with the power of the first batch of players.
This was also one of the reasons he agreed to the transaction.
He believed that if the person he traded with was indeed one of the top ten Great Gods on the rankings, he might be able to seize this opportunity and rise rapidly.
Thinking about this, he couldn't help but feel excited and eager to log in to the game immediately.
As time passed, the moment finally came when the clock struck three, and he promptly logged in to the game.
Once again appearing in the prison cell, he was surprised to find that instead of darkness, the cell was as bright as daylight, illuminated by flickering flames.
Using the light from the flames, he saw a scene that shocked him.
He saw a figure leaping into the air, striking a heavy blow with their fist onto the winged demon, knocking it to the ground.
Then, the figure swiftly stomped onto the demon again, crushing it to death underfoot.
"Is... Is it dead?" Li Hao was uncertain.
This was a Mortal-level demon, an existence that even the top ten ranked Great Gods couldn't confront head-on.
He couldn't believe that such a creature had been killed so easily.
However, it didn't take long for him to be convinced.
Within an instant of him being lost in his thoughts, the demon's body withered rapidly, rapidly turning into a dried corpse. At the same time, the cell trembled slightly, and an invisible force descended upon it.
Although Li Hao didn't know what was happening, he understood that the demon that had instantly killed him yesterday had truly been slain by the man before him.
Li Hao's heart raced with excitement. He had only expected Su Nan to rescue him, never imagining that Su Nan would be able to kill the demon directly.
Su Nan noticed Li Hao and glanced at him, saying, "Claim your Novice Task rewards and I will take you out."
"Alright... alright!" Li Hao nodded in a daze, still immersed in the shock of Su Nan's earlier demon-slaying display.
Defeating the demon with a punch and a kick, what kind of monster is this?
Great God!
This must be one of the top ten Great Gods in the rankings.
No!
It's one of the top three Great Gods, only they could possibly do this.
Accepting the Novice Task, Li Hao followed Su Nan out of the prison cell in a daze, never expecting a two-star mission to be completed so easily.
As soon as the task completion notification popped up, he immediately chose to claim the reward.
With the blood-red bloodline crystal and Demon Sutra in hand, Li Hao felt both excited and reluctant.
He knew that if he handed over the Demon Sutra and bloodline, he would likely not be able to obtain another for a very long time.
Fortunately, this wasn't insolvable, as he still had his Mainline Task. As long as he could complete the Mainline Task, he would still be able to obtain the Demon Sutra.
"Big Brother, here's what you wanted." After a brief hesitation, Li Hao handed over the items to Su Nan.
Thigh.
This is a thigh that must be hugged tightly. Whether he can rise or not depends on this one time.
Su Nan took the Demon Sutra and bloodline crystal, frowning slightly before storing them directly in his personal space.
Glancing at Li Hao again, he said, "This place is very dangerous, not a place where you can stay. If you don't need to log into the game, don't come."
With that, he was about to leave.
He had only agreed to help Li Hao get out of the prison cell, not to continue taking care of him.
Seeing Su Nan about to leave, Li Hao panicked and immediately said, "Big brother, my mainline task's first stage is to hunt and kill two demons..."
Li Hao wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by Su Nan before he could finish, "Don't bother trying, the demons here are indeed weaker than those in other places, but they are still not opponents you can handle."
Weaker than other places? Is it because of this prison?
A thought flashed through Li Hao's mind and before he could think more about it, he quickly said, "Big Brother, I know my own weight very well. I want you to help me complete the task, we can negotiate the price."
"I don't have the time to help you, figure it out yourself."
Su Nan could see Li Hao's intentions but had no interest in getting too involved.
He had his own secrets, which he didn't want others to know.
Li Hao became even more anxious, not wanting to miss such a big help.
Besides, this place was an advanced map, and without Su Nan, he wasn't even sure if he could survive every day, let alone complete tasks.
If he couldn't complete tasks and gain demon power, wouldn't he still be permanently deprived of game qualifications once the 15-day survival task deadline arrived?
"Big Brother, give me a chance, how much money do you want? I can offer it."
Su Nan remained indifferent, it wasn't that he didn't desire money, but he knew that once he got involved with real-life matters, he might reveal his identity.
As Li Hao tried to say something else, Su Nan had already turned around and left for another prison cell.
In cell 8, Su Nan fought the demon while operating the Life Wheel Scripture, switching his identity to Zhang Yang.
Like yesterday, Zhang Yang's daily tasks haven't changed, they were still Escape from Prison, Kill the Guards, and Hunt Demon at Mortal Level.
A few minutes later, the demon in cell 8 was successfully slain.
Today's "hunt down and kill a mortal-level demon" tasks for both characters were completed.
10 demon power points were credited, plus the previous 21 points, his demon power had now reached 31 points, which was enough to upgrade a Demon Sutra to Perfection.
It just so happened that he currently had a bloodline that he hadn't used yet.
"I just don't know if I can merge with this law-controlling class bloodline?"
