[Once again arriving in front of the City God Temple, you faintly see firelight flickering within the temple and shadows moving. You know that the hidden demon in the City God Temple has reappeared.]
[Cautiously approaching the courtyard entrance of the City God Temple, you peer through the gap in the door and see five silhouettes worshipping in front of the incense burner in the courtyard. They are the Paper Puppet Demons you were looking for.]
[Not daring to enter the City God Temple, you choose to launch an attack on the demons from outside the temple. These demons fear flames, so you decide to use your fire power to attack them.]
[Several huge fireballs condense and fall like meteorites into the courtyard. Raging flames envelop the five Paper Puppet Demons, and they instantly scream in agony.]
[You see that under the burning of the flames, their paper exteriors quickly turn yellow and black, but unfortunately, the five Paper Puppet Demons’ bodies still do not burn.]
[The demons notice you and launch a Divine Soul Attack at you together.]
[You died.]
“I can’t even kill these demons like this?” Su Nan frowns.
He had thought that with his current fire power, it would be easy for him to kill these demons.
Now it seems that he was overthinking.
“The power of the fire is not enough, it seems I can only try using the Li Fire Essence.”
The Li Fire Essence appears in his hand, rolling and jumping like a mischievous child, its scorching breath quickly filling the air, almost igniting it.
The cooling time of the foreknowledge ends, and he starts foreseeing again.
[You dare not enter the City God Temple but choose to use the Li Fire Essence outside the temple to deal with the five demons.]
[The Li Fire Essence is in sync with your thoughts and understands your intentions. It swiftly shoots through the gap in the courtyard door, aiming directly at the five demons.]
[The five demons sensing danger immediately launch a Divine Soul Attack on the Li Fire Essence, but their Divine Soul power has no effect on the Li Fire Essence.]
[The Li Fire Essence lands on one of the demons, and it instantly screams in pain as its body is rapidly ignited and turns into ashes within a breath.]
[Your actions have angered the other demons in the City God Temple, and the main hall’s door of the City God Temple suddenly opens, revealing a green-faced fanged monster in your line of sight.]
[You are attacked and immediately lose consciousness.]
[Two minutes later, you are awakened by excruciating pain. Opening your eyes, you are shocked to find that you are lying on a red divine altar.]
[The green-faced fanged monster is devouring your innards big-mouthed, and your fresh blood flows down from the divine altar.]
[You died.]
“Success!”
There’s happiness in Su Nan’s eyes. Although he still died in the end, it doesn’t matter anymore.
Killing the Paper Puppet Demons will inevitably draw out the three Great Monsters that are suspected to be Demon Kings. This was an expected result, and he was not surprised.
This situation is easy to solve – he only needs to quit the game as soon as he kills the demons.
During the daytime, the City God Temple will return to its peaceful state. By then, it will be safe for him to log back into the game.
With the plan in mind, Su Nan strides towards the courtyard gate of the City God Temple.
The courtyard door of the City God Temple is not locked. Due to the age of the temple, there is a gap as wide as a pinky finger between the two doors, allowing Su Nan to see the situation inside the courtyard without even looking closely.
He sees five middle-aged-looking paper men, their whole bodies made of white paper, looking very eerie.
The Li Fire Essence dances in his hand, and as soon as his mind moves, it shoots out, instantly arriving in the courtyard and heading straight for one of the demons.
The demon is unable to dodge and is hit by the Li Fire Essence.
“Boom!”
Flames soar, instantly enveloping the entire paper man as if it had been doused in oil.
The paper man’s screams echo in the courtyard, sounding so shrill and miserable that it seems as if a living person is being engulfed in flames instead of a paper man.
Just as his Li Fire Essence bursts out with a scorching temperature and ignites the Paper Puppet Demons.
The fire power within Su Nan surges like a flood, consuming over half of his energy instantaneously, and he is no longer able to continue attacking the other Paper Puppet Demons.
“Hiss! The power of the Li Fire Essence is enough, but this consumption is too huge.”
This is the first time he has used the Li Fire Essence to attack demons.
While he didn’t feel anything during the foreknowledge usage, in the actual game, he realized that the consumption of using the Li Fire Essence far exceeded his imagination.
Not having time to think, he quickly retrieves the Li Fire Essence.
At the moment the Li Fire Essence is withdrawn, the Paper Puppet Demon engulfed in flames turns into ash.
The task completion prompt pops up immediately afterward.
Not having time to look closely, he immediately uses one chance of unrestricted withdrawal and quits the game.
Just as in the prior foreknowledge, as soon as he quits the game, the main hall door of the City God Temple creaks open with a screech, and a green-faced fanged monster appears.
Apparently, because the monster couldn’t find Su Nan, it is furious and roars at the sky.
Hearing this sound, the two demon kings and that governor in Tianyun City all look in the direction of the City God Temple.
“Who is it that dares to provoke those three ghostly things?”
At six in the evening.
In reality, as the last ray of sunset disappears, heaven and earth fall into darkness.
In the game, however, it’s the complete opposite – a new day begins with the rising sun.
Su Nan logs into the game.
As soon as he appears in front of the City God Temple, he prepares to quit the game.
Fortunately, as he thought, the City God Temple is safe during the daytime, and his appearance does not attract any demon attacks..
