Chapter 72 - 71: The Three Major Guilds
Five-star mission.
This was the first time Su Nan had seen such a difficult task, he had never even heard of it before.
“Killing a spirit-level demon is a three-star level task, this task is five-star, so that demon beast must be at least Xuan-level!” Su Nan guessed.
Then he looked at the rewards of the task.
There were four rewards for the four-star task, and besides the basic rewards, there was also an extra treasure map.
But the five-star reward directly improved by one level, reaching a total of five rewards.
Not to mention that both the bloodline and Demon Sutra became spirit-level, the demon power also reached forty points.
The key point was the rewards of the spirit object and Divine Ability Seed!
Su Nan didn’t know what a spirit object was, but he had a rough guess about the Divine Ability Seed.
“This might be an advanced version of the Technique Seeds. Once obtained, it means that I will have one more powerful ability!”
Su Nan was quite envious.
If possible, he naturally hoped to complete both tasks, but this was obviously impossible.
There was no restriction on choosing one of the two tasks, and in theory, he could complete both tasks at the same time. However, it would be impossible to do this in practice.
Because once he escaped a hundred miles away, the demon beast would not be able to find him, and the second task of killing the demon beast would not be completed.
He couldn’t possibly first kill the demon beast and then escape a hundred miles away, would there be any difference between fleeing and not fleeing then?
“There are still 9 days left before the task ends, so there is plenty of time. No need to rush now.”
Su Nan didn’t immediately decide which task he wanted to complete but decided to take it one step at a time.
At least let him complete the tasks of Sky Wolf Valley first.
Looking at the palace in the distance, Su Nan didn’t intend to explore it, instead choosing to return to Sky Wolf Valley.
There was a bronze bell in that palace that Zhou Lingyin needed. If he wanted Zhou Lingyin to give him the blood essence of the ancient demon beast, he would have to go inside.
But without prior foreknowledge, it would be no different than seeking death to go there rashly.
After returning to Kun Tian Prison, Su Nan quit the game.
He didn’t know.
Not long after he quit the game,
A patrolling team of demon beasts entered the Great Tomb of Purple Leaf Forest.
An incense stick’s worth of time later, the patrolling demon beasts left the Great Tomb._None of them noticed that a shadow had silently followed them out..
“I never thought that there would be such an unexpected harvest this time!”
Outside the Purple Leaf Forest, Zhou Cheng looked at the task on his panel, filled with surprise and joy.
Just as Su Nan had thought, he also received the “Demonic Emperor’s Bloodline” task.
“Sky Wolf Valley is heavily guarded, and that Wang Nan may not have left yet. I wonder if he has received this task?”
Zhou Cheng also thought of Su Nan.
But then he shook his head again.
“The location of the Great Tomb is the most heavily guarded place in the Sky Wolf Valley. Even I have to be very careful if I want to enter. Although Wang Nan is powerful, he should not be able to access the Great Tomb, let alone go inside.”
When he first entered the game, he was lucky to find a treasure in an ancient relic. It was with the help of that treasure that he was able to rise rapidly.
He knew that Su Nan, who had surpassed him and become number one, must also have some special means, but he didn’t think Su Nan’s means could compare with his own in sneaking into high-level maps.
“There’s no hurry for this task. First, let’s complete the final task of Kun Tian Prison and get the rewards.”
“Last time Wang Nan directly promoted his third bloodline to Great Perfection, making me a joke. I don’t believe he can do the same this time!”
“The first place belongs to me, no one can take it away! Qian Yu, Wang Nan, you will both be my stepping stones.”
Zhou Cheng took a deep breath and quickly headed towards the direction of Kun Tian Prison.
Before the game’s public beta test, he had always thought he would be number one, but he never thought that he would end up as number three.
Fortunately, after this period of catching up, he finally arrived at the second position.
Now that his third bloodline had reached Great Accomplishment and was not far from Perfection, he was confident that if he could complete this Mainline Task, he would become number one!
Over ten minutes later, Zhou Cheng arrived at the location of Kun Tian Prison.
He didn’t enter immediately but chose to wait.
His treasure could not be used without limit; not only did it have a daily limit on usage, but it also had specific requirements for usage conditions.
A full two hours later.
Finally, a team of patrolling demon beasts entered Kun Tian Prison. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he quickly transformed into a shadow and sneaked into the shadow of the patrolling demon beasts.
This time, the demon beasts failed to detect his presence as well.
A few minutes later, Zhou Cheng successfully entered the first floor of Kun Tian Prison.
“Is this Kun Tian Prison?” He walked slowly along the corridor, and soon he arrived at the prison cell where a dozen players were imprisoned.
Looking at the tightly closed prison door, he frowned slightly, “The key to open the prison door is on a Wolf Demon. It seems that I have to find a way to steal the key.”
Today is Sunday, a rare day off for Su Nan.
Having nothing to do, he decided to browse the forum.
Compared to before the public beta test, the game forum is now very lively, with hundreds of thousands of posts, and the number is increasing by 10,000 to 20,000 every day.
Su Nan casually read for a while, but he didn’t find any posts that interested him.
Helplessly, he could only search by criteria, selecting the posts with the most replies.
The webpage refreshed, and several posts with over ten thousand replies appeared before him.
He had seen the first one, which was an Official post on how to avoid losing control.
This post immediately attracted the attention of all players when it was released, and even now it is the most followed post.
What Su Nan didn’t expect was that after this post, several other posts were all guild recruitment posts.
“War-King Guild Recruiting, Established by Great Master Qian Yu, Assured strength!”
“Nine Heavens Guild recruiting, join us if you are a brother!”
“Deification Guild recruiting, interested friends come quickly!”
The top three posts all had over ten thousand replies, showing that these three guilds were the most popular.
“Deification Guild? Isn’t that Zhou Cheng’s guild?”
Su Nan was instantly attracted by the recruitment post of Zhou Cheng’s guild. When he clicked in, he discovered that more than a thousand people had joined Zhou Cheng’s guild now!
This number might not seem like much, but the most important thing is that these players have all completed the Novice Task and attained Initial Success in their Demon Sutras!
This was not a simple feat.
It should be noted that the reward for a One-star Novice Task only includes one bloodline, but no Demon Sutra.
To obtain a Demon Sutra, one must proceed with subsequent Mainline Tasks.
This leads to many people who have completed the Novice Task but still have no abilities at all.
Players who have Initial Success in their Demon Sutras, on the other hand, have not only acquired their Demon Sutras and bloodlines, but have also completed several Daily Tasks.
These players were undoubtedly the elite of the elite in the current game.
“This Zhou Cheng is indeed extraordinary.” Su Nan sighed in admiration.
After clicking on other posts, he found that the top-ranking guilds were all established by players who ranked at the top of the Ranking List.
The War-King Guild, for example, was established by Qian Yu, who ranked third.
Meanwhile, the Nine Heavens Guild was founded by a player named Li Longfei, who was ranked fourth.
Su Nan wasn’t interested in these guilds and continued to scroll down, when suddenly a post caught his attention.
It was a screenshot of a Mainline Task.
From the screenshot, it could be seen that the first part of the player’s Task was a Four-star Task!
