Chapter 184 - Chapter 184: Chapter 129: Curse of Demonic Thought (2/2)
Before, he had wanted to hunt some people to gain demon power.
If it weren’t 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 hadn’t 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, don’t worry. Even if it costs us a death count, we’ll 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 didn’t 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 wasn’t 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 didn’t stop.
The arriving ghosts surged up the mountain like a tidal wave, moving extremely fast.
Su Nan didn’t 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 haven’t 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 you’re killed by a massive number of ghosts.]
[You died].
“Boneshifting can’t 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 wasn’t enough to fool them.
“Climbing the mountain wouldn’t be an issue for me, and it’s not a problem for me to find the tiger demon.”
“It seems that there really isn’t much difficulty in this task for me, it’s just a matter of wasting some foreknowledge uses..”
