Chapter 223 - 148 Exploring White Water Lake
The yellow-haired demon still slept soundly, showing no signs of waking up.
Having no more hesitation, Su Nan switched his role to Wang Nan and acted immediately.
He didn’t use Berserk Netherworld Body, as it was overkill against a
Secret-power type monster. Using only the Power of Primordial Qi and Essence Energy was enough.
He used the Heaven-Breaking Strike and punched the monster’s head.
The yellow-haired demon died.
Until its death, it never understood how it had been mysteriously killed outside the prison.
[Congratulations, you’ve completed the daily task “Hunt a Xuan-level demon,” 30 Demon Power points have been issued.]
[Currently usable Demon Power: 55 points.]
“55 Demon Power points, enough to raise a demon skill to Great Accomplishment.”
However, now was not the time for bloodline fusion.
Although the foreknowledge showed that the Green Wolf Demon King wouldn’t come in the next six minutes, it was better to leave this place as soon as possible just in case.
After taking the monster’s corpse and discerning the direction, he headed south.
Su Nan didn’t intend to return to the city just yet.
With the yellow-haired demon just dead, and the Green Wolf Demon King unable to find the murderer, it wouldn’t be safe to return now since the demon king might still be searching.
As he had thought, his hunting of the demon caused uproar in Tianyun City once again.
At the abandoned prison,
A beautiful woman in a white dress slowly walked out of the prison.
If an ordinary person saw her, they would think she was a well-bred young lady.
Who could have thought that such a beautiful woman would be the terrifying Green Wolf Demon King?
Outside the prison, an old man with a wolf’s tail dressed as a housekeeper couldn’t help asking upon seeing her: “Miss, what happened?”
The old man knew very well that their demon king rarely ventured out of her territory, let alone to someone else’s turf.
Even if there was something, she would only instruct him to take care of it.
Her sudden appearance here clearly was extraordinary.
“Yellow Leopard is dead.”
The woman’s eyes were calm, her voice indifferent, but the old man could feel a chill emanating from her words.
“Dead? Who dared to do it!”
The old man was shocked and then thought of something: “Could it be the same person who killed Lv Ear yesterday?”
The woman shook her head without elaborating further.
The news of the yellow-haired demon’s death spread quickly, causing a ripple effect in Tianyun City. If Lv Ear’s death yesterday was just a single big wave in the calm waters, then Yellow Leopard’s death today was like a small earthquake.
It wasn’t because the two demons were particularly important.
It was because their deaths were too strange, and no one even knew who killed them.
News spread quickly.
At the Demon Hunting Bureau,
Chen Su, Ma Qiang, and Zhu Chen received the news at the first moment.
Zhu Chen couldn’t help but wonder: “Do you think this was also done by Bureau Chief?”
Hearing this, the others remained silent for a moment before Ma Qiang nodded with a serious expression:
“It’s not impossible. Yesterday, Lv Ear was also killed at this time, and today Yellow Leopard was killed at this time. It’s too much of a coincidence!”
“If it’s really him, then it’s terrifying. He’s only at the Spirit-level Early-stage!” Chen Su shuddered.
Zhu Chen said: “No matter if it is or not, we absolutely cannot let this information out, or else the Governor will be the first to not let us off.”
The other two nodded, fully understanding the stakes involved.
At the edge of Tianyun City, more than ten miles south.
Su Nan stopped in a small grove of trees.
Looking ahead, a rippling lake appeared in front of him.
White Water Lake!
The territory of White Water Demon King!
He came here, of course, to prepare for hatching the Dragon-Turtle Egg and investigate the situation beforehand.
“Let’s fuse the bloodline first.”
He took out a Spirit-level demon bloodline of the Secret Power System that he bought at Tiangong Pavilion earlier.
This was the bloodline of a monster called Spirit Crown Bird, which mainly controlled the Power of Primordial Qi.
He switched his role to Lang Thirteen and began to fuse the bloodline.
Two or three minutes later, the fusion of the Spirit Crown Bird’s bloodline was completed.
A second bloodline appeared in Lang Thirteen’s personal information.
“Upgrade!”
A total of 28 Demon Power points were consumed to upgrade the Spirit Crown Bird Monster Technique to Great Accomplishment.
With 27 usable Demon Power points remaining, he only needed 25 more points to achieve Great Demon Art Perfection.
“Soon, once this technique reaches Great Perfection, I can try to kill Bear Rock as well.”
Su Nan was full of confidence.
Only 25 Demon Power points, equivalent to killing two Spirit-level monsters were left.
“It’s a pity that another Xuan-level demon is dead now. It will only be more difficult to hunt the other few demons.”
He had originally planned to kill the black bear demon at the Sky Corner Academy and the Purple Armor demon that ambushed the previous Bureau Chief.
Now, it seemed that he needed to rethink his plan.
“Let’s check out the situation at White Water Lake first.”
Su Nan stopped thinking and focused on White Water Lake instead.
“Foreknowledge.”
[You arrived at White Water Lake, which is the territory of White Water Demon King and extremely dangerous for you.]
[However, there is a Lake Heart Spring here, the second most potent source of Water Power in Tianyun County. For you, it’s a crucial place to hatch the Dragon-Turtle Egg.]
[You dived into the water and quickly headed towards the center of the lake.]
[One minute later, your speed remains unchanged, and you continue to move forward.]
[Two minutes later, you encounter a school of fish that surrounds you.]
[Three minutes later, you haven’t encountered any danger and continue advancing.]
[End of first prediction.. Do you want to continue?]
