I Secretly Develop Myself In The Demon World

[Congratulations on successfully replicating Li Yes mainline task Curse of Demonic Thought. Do you choose to synchronize the progress of the mainline task?]

Yes!

Su Nan did not hesitate and chose to synchronize directly.

Li Yes task had already reached the second phase, and if the task was not synchronized, he would be one phase slower than Li Ye, and the consequences of that would be unpredictable.

Moreover, if the location of the first-phase task was in Tiger Roar Town, it wouldnt be a problem, but if it wasnt in Tiger Roar Town, then it would be troublesome.

[Mainline Task: Curse of Demonic Thought]

[In ancient times, a powerful demon beast fell, and its condensed evil energy turned into an indestructible demonic thought. Fortunately, a human expert found the demonic thought in time and suppressed it by laying down a formation to grind it away.]

[Over the course of ten thousand years, the demonic thought was mostly destroyed with the passage of time. However, the formation laid down by the ancient powerhouse was also slowly corroded by time, losing its ability to destroy demonic thoughts.

[Twenty years ago, the last trace of demonic thought finally escaped from the corroded formation and tried to possess a powerful Tiger Demon. However, the Tiger Demon was too strong for it to succeed, so it went into hiding within the Tiger Demons body, which changed its temperament due to demonic thoughts influence.]

[To resist the demonic thoughts possession, the Tiger Demon spent most of its time in deep sleep, contending with the demonic thought. However, this method could not truly prevent the possession, and it was only a matter of time before the Tiger Demon would be completely possessed by the demonic thought.]

[Second Phase Task: Enter the back mountain of Tiger Roar Town and use the Demonic Stone to draw out the demonic thought]

[Task Difficulty: Four-star]

[Task Rewards: Mortal-Level Bloodline, Mortal-Level Demon Sutra, 30 Demon Points, One drop of demon blood.]

[Task Countdown: 5 days]

Since it was a replication, the task difficulty and task rewards did not change because Su Nan was at the Spirit Level.

The rewards were still Mortal-Level bloodline and Mortal-Level Demon Sutra.

However, these were not important. The important thing was the second-phase task.

Not only do I need to enter the back mountain of Tiger Roar Town, but I also need to use the Demonic Stone to draw out the demonic thought.

What is a Demonic Stone? Su Nan frowned slightly.

According to the requirements of the second-phase task, he could already roughly guess the first-phase task.

It could be certain that the first-phase task must be related to the Demonic Stone, and Li Ye must have already gotten the Demonic Stone.

If I dont have a Demonic Stone, wouldnt I be unable to complete this task?

Su Nans heart sank.

It took great effort to use a precious Main Quest Replication Card, and the result was that the replicated task was impossible to complete. It was like a joke!

Seeing Su Nans abnormal expression, Ji Changfeng asked, Young friend, have you thought of something?

Su Nan thought for a moment and said, Senior, the Outsiders who wanted to enter the back mountain should be related to the demon beast.

Related to the demon beast? Ji Changfengs expression changed, and he said with a solemn expression, Young friend, what have you heard?

I heard that the reason the Tiger Demons temperament has changed so much is that it was influenced by a trace of demonic thought. They found a piece of Demonic Stone and wanted to use it to draw out the demonic thought.

Su Nan told some information mentioned in the mission.

And what is a Demonic Stone?

Song Zhi and the others had never heard of Demonic Stone, so they looked curious.

Ji Changfeng looked surprised, I have long heard that you Outsiders have the ability to know many hidden pieces of information, but I didnt expect you to know even these.{@assistantLooking at Song Zhi and the others, Ji Changfeng explained, Demonic thought is a kind of soul-like substance formed by the concentrated evil energy of the demon beast after its death.

Demonic Stone is a stone formed after the death of a demon beast, where its remaining demonic qi gathers and, after tens of thousands of years, forms a stone containing pure demonic qi. It is a treasure for demon beasts to enhance their realms.

Containing pure demonic qi?

Su Nan suddenly thought of something and immediately asked, Senior, can a Demonic Stone really attract demonic thought just because it contains pure demonic qi?

Ji Changfeng nodded, Although demonic thought is different from demon beasts, pure demonic qi still greatly benefits them. Its not impossible for those Outsiders to want to use the Demonic Stone to draw out the demon.

Hearing this, Su Nans eyes lit up.

If its just that, then he might have a way.

He had two things containing demonic qi on him.

The first one was the Ancient Demon Sword, and the second one was the Demonic Source Pearl he obtained not long ago.

He didnt know how much attraction the Demonic Source Pearl had to demon beasts, but he did know that the attraction of the Demon Sword to them was absolutely enormous.

The Demonic Stone, formed by the condensed demonic qi from a dead demon beast, simply couldnt compare to the Demon Sword in any aspect.

Perhaps he could use the Demon Sword as a substitute for the Demonic Stone to draw out the demonic thought!

Ji Changfeng looked at Su Nan and continued, If what you heard is all true, maybe we should help those Outsiders.

If they can really draw out the demonic thought from the Tiger Demons body, it would be a good thing for us, too.

Su Nan nodded, but he was secretly calculating in his heart.

Li Ye couldnt get to the back mountain, but he was different.

He could transform into ghosts and also have the Across the Heavens Shift.

Although each Across the Heavens Shift could only cover a range of kilometers, two attempts would cover about eighty percent of the back mountains area.

This meant that the climbing obstacles Li Ye faced did not exist for him!

It seemed that this seemingly difficult task was not challenging for him at all!

The only thing he needed to worry about was finding the Tiger Demon before he could draw out the demonic thought from its body.

With this in mind, Su Nan said, Indeed, helping them enter the back mountain is also a good thing for us.

Ill go find them and discuss it.

Su Nan left the guest room and went to the first floor.

At the entrance of the inn, Li Ye and the others had already left.

Did they really go to the back mountain? Su Nan thought of a possibility.

Unexpectedly, another thought emerged in him, Thats good, maybe I can take this opportunity to gain some demon power.

A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Before, he had wanted to hunt some people to gain demon power.

If it werent for the fear that stirring things up at the entrance of the inn might alert those ghosts, causing a chain reaction, he would have taken action long ago.

Now the opportunity has arrived.

If those people were really determined to enter the Back Mountain, they would undoubtedly be attacked by the ghosts; he could take advantage of the chaos to make his move!

Looking for a secluded place, he transformed himself into the appearance of a ghost once again and quickly moved toward Back Mountain.

At the border between Tiger Roar Town and Back Mountain, there lay a vast wasteland.

Li Ye led several players, standing on a huge rock and scanning the surroundings, as they were looking for ghosts!

After a moment, they hadnt found a single ghost. Their eyes revealed their delight.

As expected, there are no ghosts at this time.

This was their second attempt to enter the Back Mountain.

Last time, they did not know that climbing the mountain would lead to ghosts attacking them, and they suffered a huge loss.

Afterward, they summed up their experiences, guarding this place for a whole day. Finally, they discovered one phenomenon.

There were no ghosts at this point in time, making it the perfect time to enter the Back Mountain.

Brother Ye, dont worry. Even if it costs us a death count, well help you defend this place till the last moment! they said resolutely.

Alright, as long as we succeed this time, I, Li Ye, will definitely not let you down!

Li Ye took a deep breath.

Although it was a pity that Zhang Yang didnt make a move, he still saw hope for success at present.

Without any hesitation, he suddenly charged up the mountain.

The moment he started climbing, it was as if he triggered some switch. The ghosts in the distant town shook simultaneously and then, like mad, rushed toward Back Mountain!

Is this Li Ye has already made a move?

Seeing this scene, Su Nan, who was on his way to Back Mountain, immediately understood what was going on.

Without thinking too much, he hurried toward Back Mountain with the fastest speed.

Here they come! Stop them!

At the foot of the mountain, several players saw two leading ghosts coming first and swiftly took action.

Each of them possessed two bloodlines and wasnt weak in strength.

The first two ghosts that arrived were rapidly defeated and turned into a wisp of smoke by the joint efforts of the players.

But before they could rejoice, they suddenly saw a figure moving much faster than the other ghosts approaching them.

Watch out!

Without thinking, they instinctively attacked the incoming ghost.

But immediately after, their expressions changed abruptly.

A tremendous force struck them, rendering them unable to resist at all.

With one punch each, Su Nan instantly killed all of the players.

Until their deaths, they never understood when there appeared to be such a powerful ghost in Tiger Roar Town!

[Congratulations, you have completed the daily task Hunt Five Outsiders. 5 demon power points have been awarded.]

[Currently Available Demon Power: 20 points]

Enough to raise the Nether Wolf Scripture to Great Perfection!

Without any hesitation, he immediately chose to upgrade.

With 20 demon power points consumed, the Nether Wolf Scripture reached Great Perfection.

[Congratulations, you have fully upgraded a demon sutra to Great Perfection, which further enhances your ability to survive in this world.]

[Your Talent to Foresee the Future has been strengthened, adding three extra uses per day.]

The usable number of times had reached 30!

Finally, there are foreknowledges I can use again! Su Nan breathed a sigh of relief.

Having become accustomed to foreknowledge, he felt uneasy without it.

Although several players died, the ghosts didnt stop.

The arriving ghosts surged up the mountain like a tidal wave, moving extremely fast.

Su Nan didnt immediately follow the ghosts up; instead, he looked at his Personal Information Panel.

[You transform yourself into the appearance of a ghost, intending to follow the other ghosts up the mountain.]

[Unfortunately, although your Transformation Art can perfectly disguise your appearance as a ghost, you are not a real ghost.]

[As soon as you climb up the mountain, the ghosts who were originally capturing another Outsider will swarm toward you, intending to tear you to pieces.]

[However, you are powerful and are not hindered at all by the ghosts.]

[You no longer pay attention to the other ghosts and try to rush up the mountain relying on your speed.]

[Your speed is incredibly fast, and no ghosts can catch up with you, leaving them all behind within a moment.]

[One minute later, you arrive at the top of Back Mountain and follow the mountain range eastward, searching for the tiger demon.]

[Two minutes later, you havent found the tiger demon. The entire Back Mountain has been occupied by ghosts, and countless ghosts surround you, leaving you no escape.]

[Three minutes later, your strength is depleted, and youre killed by a massive number of ghosts.]

[You died].

Boneshifting cant deceive ghosts? Su Nan was surprised.

Thinking about it, he came to terms with it. Ghosts were not demons but beings formed of resentment by the tiger demon.

It was clear that they had their way of identifying their kind, and merely disguising his appearance wasnt enough to fool them.

Climbing the mountain wouldnt be an issue for me, and its not a problem for me to find the tiger demon.

It seems that there really isnt much difficulty in this task for me, its just a matter of wasting some foreknowledge uses..
