BXBX NOVEL Chapter 78 - 77: Hunting Players
Apparently, the Wolf King Palace was the palace outside Sky Wolf Valley.
“Four-star task!” Su Nan was taken aback.
This was the first time he refreshed to a four-star daily task.
Moreover, this was just an exploratory task.
Having completed so many daily tasks, he had discovered some patterns about the task levels.
Under normal situations, the levels of exploratory tasks are usually lower than that of tasks requiring killing demons.
The fact that an exploratory task has now reached four stars shows how high the task’s difficulty is.
Upon consideration, Su Nan was relieved.
The Wolf King Palace was clearly the Skywolf Clan’s main base here. There were not only a large number of guards there, but there were also powerful demons who had completely transformed into human form guarding the place.
Just this alone was enough for this task to reach a four-star level.
“This task will be difficult to complete in a short time, better to finish the other tasks first.”
He definitely intended to go to the Wolf King Palace, but he decided to save this task for last.
At the very least, he should first complete all the tasks that his three roles allowed him to do.
After thinking it over, he decided to first go and check on the players who were locked in the prison cell.
Previously, in order to prevent these players from affecting him, he kept them in the same cell with the demons.
Now that he could gain demon power by killing players, he naturally couldn’t let those players be killed by the demons anymore.
He opened the prison cell, and the five demons who were awakened by this rushed at Su Nan like mad upon seeing him.
Su Nan threw a punch, and the first demon was directly put into serious injury. Then he hit another with a fireball, also seriously injuring it.
Now, none of the demons in the prison cell were even qualified to make him go all out.
A moment later, two of the demons were killed by him using two different identities, yielding him ten demon power points. He then transferred the remaining three demons one by one.
Quite interestingly, just when he was taking away the last demon, a player appeared in the prison cell.
“Eh? Where are all the demons?” The player was stunned as he immediately noticed the unusual situation in the cell.
His game name was Wu Ye, and he was the only player among the dozens who had achieved great success in demon cultivation.
Since they were all wiped out by demons for the first time, they had been taking turns logging in to the game to monitor the situation, in order to minimize the number of deaths.
Today, it was Wu Ye’s turn.
He looked around and didn’t see the demons that had previously killed him, making Wu Ye couldn’t help but feel elated.
However, when he saw Su Nan, his face dramatically changed.
Su Nan, holding the last demon, was a bit surprised to see Wu Ye appear.
Then a smile appeared in his eyes.
This guy who was about to deliver the demon power points had just arrived!
He took a look at Wu Ye, but instead of attacking immediately, he held the demon and turned around to close the prison door and leave.
Now was not the time to strike.
After he left, Wu Ye looked at the empty prison cell and was both frightened and overjoyed.
“Great, those damn demons were finally taken away.” Wu Ye almost wept for joy.
For so many days, he had been too afraid to even log in, let alone complete tasks. Now, he finally saw hope of leaving the prison cell.
“Quit Game.” Seeing no danger around, Wu Ye immediately exited. He needed to share the good news with the others.
A minute or so later.
The empty prison cell was now crammed with a full sixteen players.
“The demons are really gone, why would that Wolf Demon be so kind?”
“Who cares, as long as those demons aren’t around, we have a chance to get out of here.”
“Finally, I can get out. I don’t want to stay in this hellish place for a minute longer!”
The crowd of players was excited.
Earlier, Zhou Cheng’s failure made them believe they wouldn’t be able to leave the prison cell today, but the current situation had once again given them hope.
Without the five demons, they could completely take advantage of their superior numbers and escape as soon as the prison door opened.
“What should we do now?” someone asked.
Without thinking, Wu Ye immediately responded, “Continue with our previous plan, escape as many people as we can.”
He couldn’t wait any longer.
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded and immediately some players began to bombard the prison door to attract the attention of the demons.
Under the onslaught, the prison door made a dull thud.
In the corridor, Su Nan smiled.
He had been waiting for this moment all along.
“The Wolf Demon is here. Everyone take your tasks and get ready to rush out,” Wu Ye warned at the sound of Su Nan’s footsteps.
The rest prepared themselves, their eyes fixed on the prison door.
Finally, the prison door was open.
“Everyone, charge!” Someone shouted and a dozen players rushed out like a swarm of bees.
However, what greeted them were bolts of electric light!
As the electric light exploded, the first three players who charged out retreated and fell to the ground.
They were only at the beginning stage of Demon Sutra, how could they resist Su Nan’s attack!
The death of these three did not deter the others, each of them looking for an opportunity to rush out.
“You bunch of rats, none of you can escape!”
How could Su Nan possibly let these people escape, he was relying on them to farm Demon Power in the future.
He did not hold back his power and his palms continually slapped the players, knocking them backward with his immense strength.
This caused the players who were following them to suffer. They were about to rush out of the cell, but were knocked back again.
At that moment, three players found an opportunity. In the moment when Su Nan launched his attack, they suddenly shot out.
Just as the three were about to rush out of the cell, they seemed to be bewitched and their movements involuntarily paused.
They were hit by Su Nan’s Power of Divine Soul!
The Sky Wolf Sutra was only at the beginning stage, so the Power of the Divine Soul could only halt the players for an instant, but in that instant, Su Nan had freed up his hand. Three bolts of electric light hit the three players, killing them on the spot.
From the moment Su Nan opened the cell until now, it was only a short breath’s time, yet already eight or nine players had died.
Watching as their teammates were killed one after another, at this critical moment, Wu Ye, the only one who had reached the advanced stage of the Demon Sutra, stepped forward: ‘Til hold him back, you all run fast.”
As he spoke, he fearlessly charged towards Su Nan, trying to create an opportunity for the others to escape the cell.
Su Nan wouldn’t let him succeed. He hurled a fireball out, blasting Wu Ye off before he could even touch his body.
“What’s going on? This Wolf Demon seems to know what we want to do,” someone finally noticed something was off and exclaimed in shock.
Hearing this, Su Nan sneered inwardly.
If they were dealing with a normal Wolf Demon, their plan would have already been successful.
The Wolf Demon wouldn’t know these players had a task, so naturally, it wouldn’t care about them escaping the cell.
In the eyes of the Wolf Demon, even if the players were to escape the cell, they would still die by its hand.
Su Nan wouldn’t do that, his goal was to keep all the players in the cell.
A few breaths later, the cell was quiet again.
All sixteen players, without exception, were killed by Su Nan in the cell. They hadn’t even been able to take a step out of the cell before their death.
In the villa where Zhou Cheng was located.
A dozen players crawled out of the game warehouses one after another, all with gloomy expressions.
When they realized that none of them had escaped the cell, they were even more puzzled.
“What’s going on with that Wolf Demon? It seemed to know our purpose and didn’t give us any chance to step out of the cell.”
“Exactly, that Wolf Demon is strange, it’s much smarter than the other demons.”
The crowd discussed, they tried to think but couldn’t figure out what went wrong.
“How can this be?” Zhang Feng was even more puzzled.
When he had escaped the cell before, it had also been very difficult, but he had still succeeded. He had never encountered a situation like this.
“The Wolf Demon isn’t something you guys can handle,” Zhou Cheng finally spoke, pausing, before looking at Zhang Feng and saying,
“Contact Wang Nan again, ask him if he’s in Sky Wolf Valley. If possible, ask him to help you deal with that Wolf Demon.”
“Okay,” Zhang Feng nodded, then asked with concern, “What about you, big brother?”
Zhou Cheng said, “The plan did not keep up with the changes, I don’t have much time left. Originally, I planned to save you all today and then proceed to complete the Mainline Task.”
“Now things have gone awry and wasted a day’s worth of time; I have to speed up. As long as I complete the task, even if that Wolf Demon is not dead, you all will be able to come out.”
“Moreover, that Wolf Demon will surely die!”
