Chapter 53 - 53: The Fourth Bloodline
If he had not borrowed the Wolf Demon Guard’s identity before, Su Nan might have hoped for someone to create chaos to help him escape from the prison. Now things were different. Borrowing the identity of the Wolf Demon Guard, he could freely enter and exit the prison. This place had become his treasure’ trove for completing daily tasks.
The arrival of a dozen players seemed to have no impact on him, but in reality, they were an unstable factor.
To prevent accidents, Su Nan planned to make the first move.
“As long as these players cannot leave the prison cell, even if there were more of them, they can’t cause any trouble.”
As for how to deal with these players, he had already made a plan when locking them in the prison cell.
The best tool to deal with players was naturally the demons in the cell.
About ten minutes later.
Su Nan logged out of the game.
No one knew but him that five demons had been added into the previously player-only cell!
These five demons were handpicked by Su Nan, and their strength was stronger than most Mortal-level demons.
Not to mention that only one player among the dozen had achieved Demon Sutra Great Success. Even if there was a player with Great Demon Art Perfection, they would fail miserably.
“A four-star Mainline Task! So long as this task successfully completed by the Boss, the demon power received would be enough to surpass Wang Nan and Qian Yu in one swoop.”
“You guys underestimate the four-star Mainline. Once completed, the rewards go beyond what’s simply listed, and the world will belong to the Boss alone.” Players were chatting, envisioning the scene where Zhou Cheng became the top player in the game.
Zhou Cheng listened to their flattery with a smile, neither participating nor stopping them.
He was quite satisfied with this feeling.
Time passed.
Finally, it was midnight.
“It’s time, everyone log in to the game.”
“Brother Feng, wait for our good news, we’ll come to save you.”
The players were like chickens injected with adrenaline, eagerly logging into the game.
After entering the game, someone immediately opened the task list, and when they saw the task of escaping from the prison cell, they showed joy on their faces.
“As expected, the task to escape the cell has been refreshed!”
In his opinion, this task was basically to send demon power, and it could easily be completed as long as the plan was followed.
However, he soon noticed something else and asked curiously, ”1 don’t have the task to kill a guard, but I have two two-star difficulty tasks to hunt Mortal-level demons. What’s going on?”
According to the information Zhang Feng gave them, the daily tasks in this prison were mainly “Kill a Guard” and “Hunt Mortal-level Demons.”
Now he didn’t see the task to kill a guard but saw two tasks to hunt Mortal-level demons, which was not in line with Zhang Feng’s information. Hearing the player’s confusion, others wanted to check their own task panel. Suddenly, the roar of a demon in the darkness changed everyone’s faces in an instant.
“A demon! How can there be a demon here?”
Someone immediately saw a tall and large demon standing behind them.
Among them, the player with Demon Sutra Great Success reacted quickly, saying, “Don’t panic, everyone. It’s just a Mortal-level demon, and it’s not like we haven’t hunted them before.”
He wanted to calm everyone down, but the next discovery completely unsettled him.
“Not just one! There are …”
“Two, three… Five! There are five demons here!”
“What happened after we logged out? How come there are five demons locked up with us?”
Everyone’s scalp tingled, but they didn’t have time to react as the five demons attacked them.
Without any resistance or a chance to struggle, they were completely killed.
This was a one-sided slaughter.
From logging into the game to being forcibly logged out due to death, it took less than a minute in total.
Not to mention escaping the cell, they didn’t even figure out how demons appeared in the cell.
In reality.
Zhou Cheng and Zhang Feng did not log into the game immediately, as they leisurely enjoyed their drinks while waiting for good news from the players. However, they had barely taken a sip when they saw the players who had just logged into the game emerge from the game warehouse.
What made them more suspicious was the fact that all of the players looked awful.
“What happened?” Zhou Cheng and Zhang Feng looked at each other, feeling a sense of unease.
Zhou Cheng quickly asked, “Why did you all log out?”
Everyone looked solemn, not knowing how to answer Zhou Cheng.
They were all so confident when they entered the game, and now they looked completely disheartened.
Seeing this, Zhou Cheng and Zhang Feng’s hearts sank even further.
In the end, it was the only player with Demon Sutra Great Success who spoke
up and described what had happened in the game.
After hearing the events unfold, Zhou Cheng frowned and said, “You’re saying that in a cell that shouldn’t have had any demons, five powerful demons suddenly appeared?”
“Yes!”
How can it be like this?” Zhou Cheng was puzzled. This situation was something he hadn’t anticipated.
“Boss, what should we do now?” Zhang Feng was anxious. It didn’t matter if the dozen players were trapped in a cell, but if it affected Zhou Cheng’s plan, that would be counterproductive.
Zhou Cheng was silent for a while before saying, “You all go take a rest first. I’ll deal with this matter.”
“Boss, you’ll handle it?” Zhang Feng was stunned and suddenly thought of something. “Boss, have you completed this part of the Mainline Task already?” Zhou Cheng nodded and said, “I have only one step left in my Mainline Task. I’ve already obtained the third bloodline and the Demon Sutra..”
