Inside the prison cell.
As Su Nan scanned his surroundings, he breathed a sigh of relief as he didn’t see any traces of the Wolf Demon.
There were no signs of recovery from the injuries on his body, and his strength was only a fraction of what it once was.
He couldn’t take any chances.
Anyway, he still had a foreknowledge opportunity today, so he planned to use it first.
[You drag your heavily injured body out of the cell, planning to head towards Cell No. 24.]
[You don’t know that as soon as you appeared in the cell, the guards have spotted you and are rushing towards you quickly.]
“As expected, the demons have the ability to detect players!”
Before his foreknowledge could even begin, the situation Su Nan didn’t want to happen had already taken place.
The Wolf Demon’s pursuit had set the result of this fact-finding session in stone.
[Hearing the footsteps of the Wolf Demon, you immediately choose to change directions and flee, but your heavily injured self doesn’t get far before being caught up to by the Wolf Demon.]
[You died! ]
In his foreknowledge, Su Nan had already heard the footsteps of the approaching Wolf Demon Guard.
Whether he stayed or left, the outcome was going to end in death.
“There’s no choice, I have to quit the game!”
Feeling deeply powerless, he was completely out of ideas on how to get rid of the Wolf Demon that had targeted him.
There is a limit to the number of deaths allowed in the Survival Task, and he didn’t want to waste one of them.
Furthermore, the feeling of dying was not pleasant.
Su Nan decided to exit the game without hesitation.
However, the game informed him that he was in a dangerous environment and couldn’t quit!
His character only completed one Daily Task today, and the unlimited exit opportunity he had earned was used the last time he logged out.
If it were anyone else, faced with such a situation, they would be at a loss. But he was different.
He could change his identity and quit the game with another character.
As the Life Wheel Scripture revolved, there were no visible changes in Su Nan’s body and his injuries still showed no signs of recovery, but his character panel had changed to another person.
Exiting the game once more.
This time, using an unlimited exit opportunity, he successfully logged out.
Climbing out of the game warehouse and sitting in front of the computer, Su Nan couldn’t make sense of it.
“How did the demons know of my existence?”
This question was crucial, and without understanding it, he couldn’t continue playing the game.
He opened the forum, trying to find the answer from there.
On the forum, the players were still wailing with grief.
The initially high difficulty of the game had already made many players miserable.
Now that the demons had started actively hunting players, it had become the last straw that broke the camel’s back for many people.
Many players were afraid to log into the game in order not to waste their limited number of deaths.
“This game is basically selecting players. We are destined to be eliminated.” “The root cause of this incident must be the Twelve Demon Emperors. They must be the biggest bosses in the game.”
The most speculated reason for the abnormal behavior of the demons was the Twelve Demon Emperors mentioned in the introduction of the Survival Task. As for how the Twelve Demon Emperors achieved this, nobody knew.
After a while, Su Nan didn’t find the information he wanted.
Instead, another hot topic discussed by the players caught his attention.
“Qian Yu, ranked second on the Ranking List, and Zhou Cheng, ranked third, have both reached Perfection in their second Demon Sutra today. They are now only one step away from catching up with the first-ranked Wang Nan.”
“Top players are indeed top players. The increase in game difficulty seems to have nothing to do with them at all.”
“Is God Zhou Cheng’s Deification Guild still recruiting members? Can I still join now?”
“Still looking for Deity Wang Nan’s contact information! High price wanted!” The increase in game difficulty forced many players to turn their attention to the top ten players on the Ranking List.
Hoping to use their strength to change the current predicament.
They had no choice. The fifteen-day Survival Task was right there, so they had to try every method they could think of.
“This is an opportunity for those ranked high on the list, and if they are willing, they can definitely quickly build up a sizable player influence.”
Su Nan’s eyes showed a strange gleam.
He could already see the rise of various player influences happening soon.
Just as he was about to exit the forum, he noticed an unread private message.
There were already 99+ unread messages in his private chat!
Without looking, he knew these were all sent by Li Hao.
The only person who knew about his forum account was Li Hao.
“Big Brother, I know who you are! You must be Deity Wang Nan!”
“Big Brother, are you there?”
“Just make a sound if you’re there.”
“Squeak!”
“Big Brother…”
In the private chat section, Li Hao was entertaining himself tirelessly, sending a message every two or three minutes.
Seeing this, Su Nan almost laughed in anger, and couldn’t help but want to block him outright.
As he was about to do so, another message came through, grabbing his attention.
“Big Brother, I just got news that someone is planning to form a team to break into our Kun Tian Prison!”
Someone wants to break into Kun Tian Prison?
Su Nan instantly thought of Zhang Feng and Zhou Cheng.
At present, it seemed that only Zhang Feng and Zhou Cheng knew the location of Kun Tian Prison.
Su Nan sent a message to Li Hao: “Where did you get this information?”
“Big Brother, you finally replied to me. You made me wait so long!” Receiving Su Nan’s reply, Li Hao seemed excited on the other end.
“I got this information from a friend who just joined Zhou Cheng’s Deification Guild today.”
“He said that Zhou Cheng was sending a player who had reached the Great Accomplishment of Demon Sutra with fifteen players who achieved the minor accomplishment of Demon Sutra to enter the second floor of the prison tomorrow and save a member.”
To save someone?
To save Zhang Feng?
Su Nan thought of a possibility but immediately shook his head, dismissing the conjecture.
If it was to save Zhang Feng, there was no need for such a big show.
Saving Zhang Feng was most likely just a cover Zhou Cheng presented to the public.
“Zhang Feng mentioned before that Zhou Cheng’s last Mainline Task was in the Kun Tian Prison. Given that Zhou Cheng has already completed his previous Mainline Tasks, it’s no wonder he’s now preparing to tackle the last one and managed to achieve Perfection in the second Demon Sutra today.”
Su Nan analyzed quietly, understanding the key points.
Zhou Cheng probably didn’t want people to know about his actions, but since Kun Tian Prison was an advanced map, success required a large number of people at once, which naturally called for a cover story.
“Big Brother, this is absolutely unforgivable. They want to come to our territory to rescue someone, and they don’t even get your consent? Zhou Cheng really doesn’t give you any face.” Li Hao yelled, treating the Kun Tian Prison as if it were his and Su Nan’s territory.
Su Nan ignored his comment, remaining silent for a moment before saying, “Keep an eye on their movements and let me know if there’s any news. If you do a good job, I can help you complete your tasks.”
On the other side, Li Hao was overjoyed and quickly replied, “Alright, Big Brother, I guarantee I’ll complete the task.”
Not giving Li Hao any more attention,
Su Nan exited the forum.
Time quickly arrived at midnight.
He logged into the game once more.
This time, he didn’t immediately check his Daily Tasks but headed straight for Cell No. 24.
If there was a place in this prison where he could find a way to get rid of the Wolf Demon, Cell No. 24 would undoubtedly hold the greatest chance..
