“Damn rat, I’ve finally found you!” The Wolf Demon Guard gritted his teeth, staring viciously at Su Nan as if he wanted to skin him alive.
How did this guy get in?
Is this a coincidence?
Su Nan’s pupils constricted slightly. Even though he has already reached perfection in the third type of the Demon Sutra, he should not underestimate the Wolf Demon.
He knew he was no match for the Wolf Demon, after all, there was a huge gap in between their realms.
“Rat, I want to see where you will run to today!” The Wolf Demon did not afford Su Nan any time to react, it lunged directly at him.
Su Nan’s face changed slightly, but he showed no fear. He knew he was not the Wolf Demon’s opponent, yet he would not be casually killed like before.
“Well, I wanted to see how much of a gap there is between my current strength and the Spirit Level!” Instead of using the unrestricted log out opportunity, he decided to confront the Wolf Demon.
With a swing of his hand, a lump of flames shot out, seeking to disrupt the Wolf Demon’s attack.
However, even though his flame attack was fast, it was still slower than the Wolf Demon’s speed.
Effortlessly dodging the flame attack, the Wolf Demon became even more wrathful. With even faster speed, it arrived almost instantly within a step’s distance of Su Nan.
Su Nan dared not show the slightest carelessness. He did not intend to engage the Wolf Demon in battle, and directly employed his Bloodline Battle Technique: Earth-Shattering Fist.
All the strength in his body was gathered, channeling into his fists. At the same moment, he activated the power of the Firebird Bloodline. Flames concentrated in his hands, but this time it was not a fireball; instead, it uniformly covered his fists.
Although the power of his fists did not increase, the damage was significantly enhanced.
Facing the Wolf Demon’s attack, Su Nan did not dodge. Because he could not dodge, and if he did, his fist would not be able to hit the Wolf Demon.
He decided to risk getting severely injured, just to harm the Wolf Demon.
Players can respawn after death, but the Wolf Demon cannot.
If he could severely injure the Wolf Demon once each day, there might be a chance to kill the Wolf Demon.
Su Nan’s plan was successful, when the Wolf Demon’s claw landed on his chest, it lost the chance to avoid his punch of flames.
Flames exploded, the Wolf Demon let out a scream of pain, and was forced to retreat several steps. At the same time, its chest was blasted into a mess, and the smell of burnt flesh was pungent in the air.
This was no ordinary blow from Su Nan, he channeled all his strength into it, though it may not critically injure the Wolf Demon, it certainly inflicted considerable damage.
The downside was that Su Nan came off much worse in the exchange.
The Wolf Demon’s claw swept across his chest all the way down to his abdomen, where the wolf claw touched, the wounds were deep enough to see bone, and strips of flesh were literally torn off!
That was not all, he clearly felt a strange power enter his body the moment the Wolf Demon’s claw penetrated his flesh.
“What kind of power is this?” Su Nan was surprised.
That power was not purely physical, it seemed more like an invisible force.
The force went rampant in his body, it seemed intent on tearing his internal organs to pieces.
“Could this be the power of the Secret Power System?” He had a hunch.
He was too weak in the past, and the Wolf Demon easily injured him seriously with a single punch, so he could never notice the oddity in the Wolf Demon’s attacks.
Now the Wolf Demon’s full-strength attack was not able to kill him, only then was he able to perceive the strangeness in the Wolf Demon’s power.
“Damn rat,” the Wolf Demon roared, angrily rushing at Su Nan once more.
“Quit Game!”
Not daring to continue battling with the Wolf Demon, Su Nan decisively used his opportunity for unrestricted withdrawal.
There was a massive difference in destructive power between the two parties, there was no more need to continue the battle.
He didn’t log back into the game that night.
The following day, in the early morning.
Su Nan was awake as per usual by the alarm clock.
He grabbed his phone out of habit, and opened up the forum only to find a large amount of unread messages were in his private chat.
Once he opened it, all he saw were messages from Li Hao.
Obviously, Li Hao had not given up on the idea of getting Su Nan to help him complete his task.
Su Nan ignored the messages, instead being drawn to the hot topic currently being discussed on the forum.
“Last night, the supernatural creatures collectively acted up, most players who were in the game were targeted by monsters. What’s going on?”
At this moment, the entire forum was discussing the matter regarding the monsters last night.
Remembering the unusual Wolf Demon from last night, Su Nan couldn’t help but perk up.
After carefully reading through the information on the forum, he finally understood the situation.
Turns out, ever since the survival task started, the supernatural creatures initiated searches and hunts for the players. However, on the first day, they could not distinguish between players and ordinary martial artists.
However, last night, all the monsters seem to have received all the information about the players, they not only could pinpoint the players’ locations, but they even knew about the player’s resurrection ability.
“Are they even letting us play? I was about to complete my novice task and suddenly, a monster found me and killed me.”
“The game was hard enough from the start, but now with this situation, they’re pushing us into quitting the game!”
“I’m the real victim here, I finally got the opportunity to respawn without restrictions, but after encountering a monster, I still saw the monster at the original position when I logged in two hours later!”
Cries of despair from the players echoed. If they could find the game’s officials, they would definitely send them a batch of razor blades in protest.
“Monsters camping on player’s corpse? This is gonna be hard!” Su Nan frowned, this wasn’t good news for any player.
Thinking about the wolf demon guard, he felt his heart sink further.
If it was as what the other players had said, that the monsters knew about player’s resurrection and would camp at the original location, then he would most likely encounter the Wolf Demon once he logged in again.
“I must think of a way to leave the prison as soon as possible!” He was now more eager to leave the prison.
Prison had its advantages, the strength of the monsters inside was much weaker than the normal ones, but the current disadvantage was also severe.
In there, he had no place to run; he was like a turtle in a jar.
Linjiang Hotel.
“Huh? What’s happening today?”
Just upon arriving at the hotel, Su Nan immediately noticed six strong and sturdy young men standing in the hotel lobby.
They clearly weren’t ordinary people; they looked like well-trained soldiers. With just a few glances, Su Nan could tell, these were professional security personnel trained by security companies.
Wang Chong introduced, “Brother Nan, they’re new colleagues, and they’ll be part of our team.”
Speaking further he introduced to the six young men in a senior-like manner, “This is our security department’s backbone, you can just call him Brother Nan in future.”
At this Su Nan grumpily kicked Wang Chong’s leg: “Enough, stop pretending to be a big shot here.”
Pulling Wang Chong out of the hall, Su Nan continued asking: “Our hotel security should have enough staff right? Why have so many come this time?” He was somewhat puzzled, even if occasionally a security personnel resigned, they would hire one or two personnel at most, never this many.
Wang Chong explained: “You may not know about this yet.”
“Didn’t Miss Bai acquired thirteen game bracelets the day before yesterday? But now only twelve were used, and one is yet to be picked due to unavailability of a suitable candidate.”
“I heard that there were people trying to get that bracelet yesterday, some event went as far as to claim they would steal the bracelet, just in case, Miss Bai decided to increase the hotel’s security forces.”
“Moreover, they are just a bunch of girls playing in the game warehouse, if anything unexpected happened outside, they wouldn’t be able to resist.”
“So that’s the reason.” Su Nan nodded.
Today was the second day of the game’s public beta test, the game bracelet’s price was soaring, reaching over 20 million per piece, and they were still hard to buy.
If someone with malicious intent was eying it, it was indeed possible that they would do something outrageous.
But, often times, the most feared things come.
They didn’t know.
At this time, not far from the hotel, in a residential building, a man was using a telescope to observe the security guards movements outside the hotel.
The man was in his thirties, dressed in a suit and tie, looking like a success.
This was his preparation for the upcoming action.
“I can’t wait any longer, I must act today. That Bai Mengmeng was already very close to awakening her Bloodline Combat Skill yesterday, once she awakens it, I will never get another chance.”
“It seems that I am not the only one eyeing that item. If others take action before me, it would be too late.”
The man tried hard to calm himself down, observing the hotel environment again and confirming his escape route.
The price of 20 million was too tempting for him, he needed this money.
Of course, this was not the most important thing. If it was before, even if he knew where he could get 20 million, he would not dare to do it.
But last night, a man who introduced himself as Mr. K found him, not only did he provide him with Bai Mengmeng’s room location, but he also promised that if he could get the bracelet, he would arrange for someone to cover his escape, and would immediately give him the money.
Someone would help him escape, and give him the money as soon as he gets the item. Facing such a temptation, he was finally moved and prepared to take action.
But now he had to wait.
It will be time for the night shift security personnel to change shifts, that would be his best opportunity.
He patiently waited for a while.
Finally, the time was almost up, he decisively got into a car that had been prepared for him and arrived at the hotel.
He went straight to the front desk, booked a room closest to the top floor, and then calmly went into the elevator..
