Chapter 21: Zhang Feng's Plan

The game is about to enter public beta testing, and chaos is coming. All Su Nan can do now is to increase his strength as quickly as possible.

"According to what the mysterious woman said, to avoid losing control during blood fusion, there are not only restrictions on the bloodlines being fused, which must come from different systems, but also requirements for the previous bloodline; it must at least reach great accomplishment."

"I don't know how that out-of-control player managed to fuse two bloodlines in such a short time, but there's a high probability that when he fused the second bloodline, the first one hadn't achieved great accomplishment."

"Maybe the two bloodlines that the player fused were not from the same system."

Holding the bloody bloodline crystal in his hand, Su Nan looked at the foreknowledge on his panel.

Just in case, he chose to use foreknowledge once.

[You have obtained another bloodline and are preparing to attempt fusion.]

[In your opinion, in order to successfully fuse bloodlines, the previous bloodline must be at least great accomplishment, and bloodlines from different systems cannot be fused.]

[As you thought, as long as you follow these two principles at the lower stage, there will be no bloodline conflicts.]

[As the bloodline is swallowed, you immediately feel a burning heat explosion inside your body, seeping into your organs.]

[At the same time, the Mountain Elephant bloodline in your body boils instantaneously, as if its territory has been invaded, and it tries to expel the Iron Ape bloodline.]

[With the blessing of the Iron Ape Sutra, the Iron Ape bloodline, which has just been expelled by the Mountain Elephant bloodline, suddenly erupts and seeps back into your organs, competing with the Mountain Elephant bloodline for your body.]

[One minute later, the two bloodlines are evenly matched in your body.]

[Two minutes later, under your control, the Mountain Elephant bloodline gradually fades, and the Iron Ape bloodline gradually infiltrates your body.]

[Three minutes later, congratulations, you have successfully fused the Iron Ape Sutra.]

"As expected, as long as I don't mess with bloodline fusion, there won't be any problems."

Su Nan breathed a sigh of relief.

With the affirmative answer given by this foreknowledge, he basically no longer needs to waste foreknowledge times on bloodline fusion in the future.

At least at Mortal Level, this is the case.

Without any hesitation, he swallowed the bloodline directly.

Three minutes later.

With the heat flow covering his whole body, Su Nan instantly felt different.

"Success!"

With a smile on his lips, he immediately looked at his Personal Information Panel.

[Demon Sutra: Mountain Elephant Sutra (Great Perfection); Iron Ape Sutra (not yet started)]

[Bloodline: Mountain Elephant Bloodline, Iron Ape Bloodline.]

The Iron Ape Sutra has changed from its unattainable state due to the lack of a bloodline, and can now be upgraded.

"I have 6 demon power points available, which is just enough to upgrade it to minor achievement."

Spend 2 demon power points to upgrade to Beginner!

Spend 4 demon power points to upgrade to Minor Achievement!

Su Nan could clearly feel that his strength had increased significantly in a short time.

If he previously had a strength of about a thousand catties, his force now is about 1,300 catties!

This is still without using a Bloodline Combat Skill.

"At present, my strength is still too weak; only after raising this second bloodline to Great Perfection will I have the qualifications to confront other mortal-level monsters."

Martial artists will always be martial artists, incomparable to demons.

After hunting two mortal-level demons in a row, Su Nan had a clear understanding of the gap between humans and demons.

At the same level, the Iron Ape yesterday had a significant gap in its strength, physicality, and speed.

If it weren't for the fact that the demon was heavily wounded and its strength had decreased sharply, even if Su Nan raised his second demon sutra to Great Perfection, he might not have been its opponent.

He closed his personal information, opened his Task Panel, and today's daily tasks appeared before his eyes.

[Daily Task 1: Kill a Guard.]

Task Difficulty: 3 stars.

Task Reward: 15 demon power points.

[Daily Task 2: Explore Cell No. 30.]

Task Difficulty: 3 stars

Task Reward: 15 demon power points

[Daily Task Three: Hunt A Mortal Level Monster.]

Task Difficulty: 2 stars.

Task Reward: 5 demon power points.

"Explore Cell No. 30?"

"This task actually appeared?"

Su Nan frowned, deeply aware of the danger of Cell No. 30. Even getting close to it was a problem, let alone entering it.

In Su Nan's opinion, hunting a prison guard is easier than entering Cell No. 30.

Although the strength of the Wolf Demon Guard is strong, it is visible and tangible, and he doesn't know how to face Cell No. 30.

This point is also proved by the difficulty of the task.

A three-star task is far beyond the difficulty of a two-star task.

"Today, if I am unlucky, I might not even be able to complete a single task."

He didn't need to consider the first and second tasks, the third task was the only one he had the best chance of completing.

But even for the third task of hunting down a demon, it's not a 100% guarantee of success. If he's unlucky, there might not be any demons to hunt down.

Su Nan takes out the Kun Tian Key and prepares to leave Cell No. 12.

He plans to go to Cell No. 19 first to see what Zhang Feng wants to do.

Before that, he still needs to use his foreknowledge ability.

If he meets the Wolf Demon Guard in the corridor after leaving the cell, it would be very unlucky.

Of course, he won't waste a foreknowledge just for the sake of the Wolf Demon. He plans to use this chance to find a demon to hunt down.

"Foreknowledge!"

[You leave Cell No. 12, planning to find a demon to hunt down. Soon, you set your sights on Cell No. 18.]

[Your luck is good. On the way, you don't encounter any demons, successfully arriving in front of Cell No. 18. Using the Kun Tian Key, you enter Cell No. 18.]

[From previous experiences, the moment you enter the prison cell, you quickly move to one side to avoid being attacked by a demon while also preparing to strike.]

[The demon in the cell doesn't attack you immediately but instead looks at you curiously, interested in how you managed to enter the cell.]

[The demon asks for the key to enter the cell, but you refuse. Annoyed, the demon suddenly attacks.]/p>

[This is also a Mortal-level demon, but even Mortal-level demons have differences in strength. Your luck is not good. This demon seems to be one of the stronger ones.]

[You only manage to hold on for four rounds against the demon.]

[You died]/p>

The second foreknowledge of the day ends in death.

Su Nan is not the least bit surprised.

Inside the Prison, a large amount of demons and human martial artists are imprisoned. If he encounters a human martial artist, it would be fine. However, if he encounters a demon, it would be challenging to survive.

After all, finding a wounded demon like he found yesterday is nearly impossible.

Fortunately, his foreknowledge was not without any gain.

At least it confirmed that the Wolf Demon Guard was not in the corridor.

Su Nan leaves Cell No. 12 and quickly heads towards Cell No. 19.

In Cell No. 19

There are not only Zhang Feng but also two other players.

The three are still shocked by the information that the game would soon enter the public beta test.

Unlike the other players, Zhang Feng and the other two can be regarded as Zhou Cheng's confidantes. Naturally, they know quite a bit about the game from Zhou Cheng, meaning they are aware of how unusual the game is.

"Brother Feng, what should we do? When the public beta begins, will it affect Brother Cheng's tasks?"

"It will definitely have some consequences. With more people, accidents will inevitably happen."

"This place is related to Brother Cheng's Mainline Task. We must understand this place thoroughly before Brother Cheng completes this part of the mainline quest. Only this way, Brother Cheng can complete the Mainline Task as fast as possible when he comes here!"

"It's hard to believe that the final task of Brother Cheng's Mainline Task is a four-star level. I don't know how he managed to get it."

Zhang Feng is talking with the other two players.

They don't know that, out in the cell, Su Nan is pressing his ear against the prison door, trying to leverage the two Demon Sutras to raise his senses dramatically.

There is potent sound insulation in the cells, even with Su Nan pressed against the door, he can barely make out the conversation between the three players.

Fortunately, with no one else in the room, the three are speaking without any worry, so their voices are not covered up.

"The Brother Cheng they're talking about must be Zhou Cheng."

"A four-star Mainline Task, that Zhou Cheng is not simple. He managed to trigger such a high-difficulty task." Su Nan sighed in his heart.

He completed a four-star Novice Task, triggering the first three-star quest on the Mainline Task. Although the last task would also be a four-star level, it would not be higher than Zhou Cheng's task difficulty level.

Zhou Cheng said in the forum that he had completed a one-star Novice Task. It seems like the credibility of this Great God player's words is not very high.

Zhang Feng and the other two players didn't come here accidentally; instead, they came purposely to investigate the situation on behalf of Zhou Cheng.

Back in the cell, the discussion between Zhang Feng and others hasn't stopped.

"But the Wolf Demon Guard is too powerful; we can't get out now, can we?"

"There's no choice. We can only fight hard now. I'll lead the Wolf Demon Guard later on, and we'll break out together. The Wolf Demon Guard is powerful, but it is impossible to kill all three of us at once. As long as one of us escapes, it will be considered a success."

"Brother Feng, you're the strongest among us, and we haven't even completed our Novice Tasks. Even if we escape, we can't be of much help. We'll cover you, and you'll take the opportunity to run."

"Alright, that's the only way now. When I find a way to open the prison door, I'll let you guys go."

The three are planning to use the same method as Su Nan, even at the cost of being killed or dying in the process, to escape the cell.

However, unlike Su Nan's previous method of resisting the Wolf Demon's attack and barely surviving, Zhang Feng plans to use the other two players to distract the Wolf Demon and escape in the process.

"If only Wang Nan would log in, using him as cannon fodder, our chances of escaping would be much higher."

"It's a pity; such a perfect human shield hasn't logged in till now. Could it be that he really quit the game?"

"I'll exit the game and contact him again. If he still doesn't log in, then we'll forget about him."

Upon hearing this, Su Nan's face turns grim.

Although he noticed that Zhang Feng was anxious for him to log in for a reason, he never expected it to be just for using him as cannon fodder.
