Chapter 243: Chapter 157: Lang Thirteen’s Side Quest 2
Translator:
“That’s right, an independent space has formed below the node of the formation. In ancient times, many powerful beings among us demons were oppressed under these nodes.”
White Water Demon King was puzzled, unaware of why Hu Xiaotian would ask such a question.
But Hu Xiaotian said, “The environment is unique beneath the nodes. The essence and blood of the strong members of our clan should be preserved after they die.”
Essence and blood?
Ancient Demon Essence Blood!
Surprise crossed Su Nan’s mind. He hadn’t expected such a thing to exist beneath the nodes of the formation.
The White Water Demon King said, “The essence and blood may exist, but even if it does, the remaining power in the blood could be rather limited.”
Hu Xiaotian’s eyes flickered, and he suddenly looked at Su Nan, “Brother Lang Wu, you happen to be of Spirit Level too, you should participate this time.” He then turned to the Green Wolf Demon King, “Green Wolf, Brother Lang Wu will follow you, please have your men take care of him.”
Me? Go?
Su Nan was puzzled.
He had just come to familiarize himself and take the chance to finish the task, why was he going to attack the array nodes now?
Then, recalling what Hu Xiaotian said earlier, Su Nan grasped Hu Xiaotian’s intention.
Hu Xiaotian seemed to want him to attack the array nodes, but in reality, he was letting him seize the advantage.
If the array node was indeed broken, he could take the chance to get the Ancient Demon Essence Blood from that node space.
What a good ‘big brother’ he is!
With a sense of helplessness in his heart, Su Nan sighed.
If it were any other time, he would naturally be very willing to face such a good opportunity.
But the problem was, his second identity was now in charge of guarding the nodes. He was spread too thin to take on this new responsibility.
Su Nan wanted to refuse outright.
However, at that moment, a game prompt suddenly popped up.
[Congratulations, you have received the “Human Crisis” branch task, please go to the task bar to check. ]
Branch task?
Why would a branch task be triggered here?
Su Nan paused in surprise.
Of his three roles, so far, only Zhang Yang had received a branch task. Lang Thirteen and Wang Nan hadn’t received any tasks.
But he wasn’t worried.
As the Bureau Chief of the Demon Hunting Bureau, he could easily assign tasks to himself.
According to his original plan, he just needed to switch roles, and approach
Zhu Chen and the two others to trigger it.
But now, the role of Lang Thirteen had surprisingly triggered a task here.
Without thinking further, he immediately checked the task.
[Branch Task One: Attack Golden Rosy Clouds Tower.]
[Task Difficulty: 3 stars]
[Task Reward: A large number of task contribution points, depending on the number and realm of martial artists and outsiders killed.]
[Task countdown: 11 hours.]
Attack Golden Rosy Clouds Tower?
“What…”
What happened to the supposed “Human Crisis”?
Why was he asked to attack the array nodes? Wasn’t that a contradiction?
Su Nan was astounded.
Clearly, this was because the character of Lang Thirteen belonged to the demon clan.
Looking at the way to gain contribution points for the task, his eyes lit up.
Killing players and martial artists can earn contribution points?”
His main task was to hunt players. Now, his branch task also told him to hunt players.
Did this mean that, when he hunted players, he could complete two tasks at the same time?
Could he gain both demon power and contribution points? Was it like killing two birds with one stone?
Thinking of this, Su Nan made up his mind.
“Looks like this task must be completed!”
He had no choice, the task had already been triggered and could not be changed.
Unless he didn’t want Lang Thirteen’s character to gain contribution points in this task,
Otherwise, he could only attack the nodes as Lang Thirteen.
Of course, these were just plans.
As for how to execute them, he still needed to strategize carefully.
At this moment, the Green Wolf Demon King seemed to understand Hu Xiaotian’s intentions. A strange look appeared in his eyes, and he nodded “Okay!”
Seeing this, Su Nan had an idea.
Thinking of Lang Thirteen’s task, he didn’t hesitate and seized the opportunity to speak:
“Green Wolf Big Brother, I heard that your Xuan-level king named Bear Rock
was killed. Now, Bear Rock’s territory is vacant.”
“It happens that I am well acquainted with several of the spirit-level demons under Bear Rock. How about you assign me the territory of Bear Rock?” “Oh? You want to take Bear Rock’s place?” The Green Wolf Demon King was surprised. He did not expect Su Nan to make such a request.
“Yes.” Su Nan nodded.
“Since you want it, it is yours.” The Green Wolf Demon King said, unfazed.
In her eyes, it didn’t matter who was in charge.
The moment the voice of the Green Wolf Demon King fell, the prompt for task completion immediately appeared.
[Congratulations, you have completed the daily task “Replace Bear Rock’s position”, 30 Demon Power points have been granted.]
[Current Demon Power: 46 points.]
Su Nan broke into a smile. Now, he finally appreciated the advantages that come with having backers.
If it weren’t for Hu Xiaotian, the difficulty for him to replace Bear Rock’s position would be formidable.
Now, however, it was done with just a single sentence.
Half an hour later.
Once all the demons finished the discussion about attacking the array nodes Su Nan left White Water Lake.
Before leaving, Hu Xiaotian took out two jade plates that looked similar.
The plates were full of intricate patterns.
Hu Xiaotian gave one to Su Nan and said:
“Brother Lang Wu, these are parent-child jade talismans that can contact each other. If there’s an emergency, all you need to do is stir up your Bloodline Power to activate it, and you can contact me. Through the jade talisman, I can find your location.”
“Parent-child Jade Talismans? Isn’t this a locator?” Su Nan was surprised in his heart. He didn’t expect that such a thing existed in this world.
He left White Water Lake.
Looking at the vast lake, Su Nan sighed again.
“What a pity, I can’t let anyone know about the Dragon Turtle Egg. Otherwise, I could have asked Hu Xiaotian to help me borrow the Lake Heart Spring from the White Water Demon King.”
The Dragon Turtle was one of the Twelve Auspicious Beasts of ancient times its value immeasurable.
He couldn’t guarantee what would happen if people knew that he has a Dragon Turtle egg.
“There are still three days left until the task of incubating the Dragon Turtle egg ends.”
“After this branch task ends, I have to act according to the previous plan as soon as possible.”
Leaving White Water Lake.
Su Nan headed straight for Tiangong Pavilion.
He needed to prepare for the task more than ten hours later.
“Lang Thirteen’s branch task asked me to attack the formation array, so I should start with attacking the formation array.”
Looking at Lang Thirteen’s branch task again, Su Nan had a rough plan in his mind.
Although he needs to guard the Martial King Temple in the person of Zhang Yang, it doesn’t mean that he can’t leave.
The Martial King Temple would not be unable to resist the demons’ attack without him.
At the beginning of the task, he can go to attack the Golden Rosy Clouds Tower first.
“As long as I solve the players of the three guilds who guard the Golden Rosy Clouds Tower as quickly as possible, then quickly return to the Martial King Temple, everything will be able to be done in time.”
With his current strength, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is overwhelming other players.
No matter how many players are in front of him, they won’t pose a threat.
He was confident that he could handle the players guarding the Golden Rosy Clouds Tower in the shortest possible time.
Besides, the Martial King Temple is only a little over ten miles away from the Golden Rosy Clouds Tower. It takes only a few minutes to get there and back so it won’t affect him much.
“Of course, even if I really want to attack the Golden Rosy Clouds Tower with
the demons, I can’t let the demons destroy the array nodes.”
“If the Dianxing Sect can’t resist the attack of the demons, I will have to let another character of mine take action.”
Su Nan’s thoughts were racing.
Besides Zhang Yang and Lang Thirteen, he also has the character Wang Nan.
He planned to use this character, Wang Nan, to trigger the task of guarding the Golden Rosy Clouds Tower.
In this way, even if the Dianxing Sect can’t resist the attack of the demons, he can let the character Wang Nan step in and hunt the demons.
Wouldn’t he be able to earn contribution points from both directions then?
With this thought, Su Nan smiled.
“If the plan goes smoothly, I might be able to use this opportunity to let all three characters earn a large amount of contribution points.”
“However, there is one main problem, and that is the consumption of power.”
“I want to hunt players as well as demons, and the consumption involved isn’t small.”
‘Without enough items to replenish vitality, the plan cannot be implemented smoothly.”
Now he can just hope that the essence and blood on him and the demon-slaying points can be exchanged for enough items to replenish vitality..
