Chapter 10: Chapter 10: Mental Attack

Translator: 549690339

“A demon beast? I got targeted by a demon beast? From petty to villainous, such a disgusting plot could actually occur to me?”

After thoroughly reading the Mainline Task from beginning to end, Su Nan was speechless.

He finally understood why the choice of Novice Task would affect the Mainline Task.

The Novice Task was simply a prerequisite for the Mainline Task.

“According to the task introduction, the demon beast should be related to the out of control Warrior, and it’s very likely that the Warrior transforms under certain specific circumstances.”

This game is called Demon World, so the existence of demons is quite natural.

What concerned him was that according to the task description, demon beasts were much more terrifying than regular demons.

Seeing the difficulty of the task, Su Nan gasped.

“The first chain task is a Three-star Difficulty, what level will the final mission reach? It definitely won’t be less than four stars.”

Chain tasks usually have increasing difficulty levels; since his first chain task is already three stars, it’s hard to imagine what difficulty the final mission will reach.

There is a high possibility that he will not be able to complete it.

“What are the consequences of not being able to complete the Mainline Task?”

Su Nan had a stern expression on his face, not knowing why, he felt that it seemed like the game had gotten out of his control.

If it were any other game, players would not only not resent a high-difficulty task, but they would also be excited by it.

In their view, constantly trying to break the limits is fun, and they enjoy exploring the game.

But this game is different.

The fatal feature of this game is that each player has only one life per day, and once dead, they cannot log in for the rest of the day.

As a result, a high-difficulty task may take longer than expected, possibly severely delaying progress in the game and being left behind by other players, which is something no one wants to see.

“I must find a way to get the maximum benefit from the upcoming tasks, and quickly improve my strength; otherwise, there is no way to complete this task.”

Su Nan was aware of the seriousness of the situation, and he dared not take the upcoming Daily Task lightly.

Daily Tasks are the key to obtaining Demon Power, and he needs to ensure that they are completed every day.

“There are three Daily Tasks. The second one, “Kill a Guard,” doesn’t need to be considered because the guards of this prison are likely all of Spirit Level and beyond my abilities to deal with.”

“The third task is to hunt down and kill a mortal-level demon. The success of this task depends on first getting out of the prison cell and at least finding a demon to hunt.”

“It seems that escaping from Cell No. 19 is a top priority.”

Su Nan quickly analyzed the three tasks, clearly, escaping from this cell was a matter that had to be resolved immediately.

“The prison cell door can only be opened from outside, and for me to escape, I have only one way: I need to make some noise to attract the prison guards over and take the opportunity when they come to escape.”

He is no longer the same as yesterday; if he faces the Wolfe Demon of yesterday again, though he is still no match, he won’t be slapped to death in one hit.

As long as he can leave the cell, the task will be considered complete, and death would not matter much.

“Let’s foresee the future first and see if the plan is viable.”

He didn’t take any rash actions; instead, he used his Talent to foresee the future!

[The prison door is locked, and you realize that to get out of here, you have to rely on the guards.]

[You punch the metal cell door forcefully, causing a dull rumble.]

[Unfortunately, the noise you made was too small and did not attract the attention of the prison guards. You have no choice but to hit the cell door for a second time.]

[Unbeknownst to you, your actions have awakened a demon that has just been locked up in the cell; you have been targeted.]

[Just as you hit the metal door a second time, the demon suddenly launches a sneak attack on you.]

[You are dead.]

“What? There’s not just one person in this cell, but also a demon?” Su Nan’s face tensed up.

He thought he would die at the hands of the prison guards, but he didn’t expect to be killed by an unknown demon in a sneak attack, a result he hadn’t anticipated.

The cell wasn’t large; logically, he would be able to see any demons present at a glance.

But after scanning his surroundings several times, he did not see the existence of any demons.

If it were not for the information from his foresight telling him that the demon had just been locked up, he would almost doubt his own eyes.

Suddenly, he thought of something, “No, there’s one place I’ve overlooked!”

He abruptly looked up at the top of the cell.

With dim light, at first glance, the top of the cell shows only pitch black.

A thought struck his mind, and the Mountain Elephant Sutra quickly activated, quickly clarifying his vision; he finally saw a huge monster crawling on the top of the cell.

The monster clearly had a human head, but its body was a bat’s!

“Well, I was just worrying about how to complete the task, and now here comes a demon delivered to me.”

Su Nan not only didn’t panic but smiled at the corner of his mouth instead.

Hunting a mortal-level demon was a two-star difficulty task, which means that the bat demon at present wasn’t particularly powerful, at least not on the same level as yesterday’s Wolf Demon.

As such, as long as he plans well, it’s not impossible to hunt and kill the bat demon.

The bat demon seemed to be in deep sleep and wasn’t awakened, Su Nan clenched his fist, feeling the power within him, and a cold smile appeared on his face.

He changed his mind, no longer planning to escape the cell but instead completing the third task by hunting down the present demon!

However, before that, he decided to foresee the future one more time.

A one-minute cooldown ended, and the foresight process began.

[You discover a demon sleeping above your head, and you plan to hunt it down.]

[When you arrive at the cell door, as planned, you punch the metal prison door; the demon is instantly awakened by the rumble.]

[You know you’ve been targeted by the demon, but you pretend not to know and hit the metal door again.]

[As you expect, during your second punch, the demon suddenly attacks you; you, already prepared, react quickly, turn around, and concentrate your strength on the demon.]

[The demon, startled by your sudden counterattack, panics and is sent flying away by your punch.]

[With a successful first strike, your confidence surges, and you launch a fierce attack on the demon; the demon is dazzled by your onslaught and can only defend passively.]

[With the Mountain Elephant Bloodline and the Perfection Mountain Elephant Techniques enhancing your astonishing strength, the demon doesn’t stand a chance against you; within a few breaths, you’ve beaten the demon half to death.]

[Seeing this, you breathe a sigh of relief. However, just as you relax for an instant, the demon takes advantage of the opportunity and lets out a sharp screech.]

[Your mind is attacked, you stumble, and almost fall to the ground.]

[By the time you manage to steady yourself, the demon’s claw has already clutched your throat.]

[You are dead.]

“This bat demon can actually launch psychic attacks?”

Su Nan was somewhat relieved, not knowing that the bat demon had such an ability.

Fortunately, he foresaw once; if he had been arrogant and acted directly, it would have been a disaster.

As long as he knew the demon’s methods, things were easier to deal with.
