Ch73 - The players laid flat on the ground one after another to bask in the moonligh (2/2)
Since there was still no genuine devil race in the world yet, the Abyss of Buried Gods that the Devil King had sealed was now known as the devils’ territory, and contained nobody other than the great Devil King for now.
After all, he was the Sealed Devil of Seal the Devil, and it appeared that the boss wanted it that way. The great boss seemed to be extremely wilful, and respected no one.
Xue Ling emerged from the vertigo of entering the game and looked at the scene before him stupidly.
He was currently in a dense forest. Xue Ling had appeared in a small tree burrow where space was very limited. There was luxuriant grass at the entrance to the burrow that blocked his line of sight while also preventing others from looking in.

Xue Ling moved a little. His paws were small, he only had one tail, and his ears felt odd. It seemed that he had gotten into a strange situation. Thinking of the original string of data’s chosen race, Xue Ling opened up the character interface.
His little paw flexed, and a panel appeared in front of him. In the place where the character image should be was a very small, soft and white ball of fur. The attributes panel was not much different from how it had been when he entered the game; his charm stat was full, and various other powerful stats were unchanged. Rather, it was the words that were written under his race that made Xue Ling wrinkle his eyebrows.
“Nine-tailed fox? The fox clan also has a nine-tailed fox lineage?”
The system appeared in front of its host. For once, it was as big as its host, and the system could not help being delighted, laughing as it said, “I haven’t made any changes. This was something the main computer automatically assigned for you. Perhaps this is because your original data was too attractive? Even if you downgraded your appearance, there won’t be a second face like yours in the game. Isn’t it a good thing to be a fox?”
Race and clan had an impact on all aspects of cultivation, but Xue Ling couldn’t tell if his final plan would follow his original intentions. It was too late to modify his clan now as it was safer to do less things that could attract the main computer’s attention.
Xue Ling closed the panel, slightly adjusted his mentality to adapt to the current situation, pulled apart the grass, and emerged from his tree burrow.
After he came out, he met with a red fox that had been crouching by his den. When the fox saw that he had finally come out, it seemed a little awed as it bowed its head and said, “My lord, you’ve finally awoken.”

Xue Ling thought for a moment, then sat up straight and nodded proudly.
He did not speak, but the NPC still continued on. “We have been waiting for you to wake up for many years. With your leadership, the demon race will definitely be able to surpass the inexhaustible human race that is still around after two great wars in one leap.”
Xue Ling was just a small furball at the moment. It was unknown how the red fox could say things like as revitalizing the demon race to such a cute little face.
The red fox was the village chief. It didn’t say much else; Xue Ling was also unclear about whether every other demon that had been born here was given such as grand of a mission as his. After receiving his first quest, he strode forward and set out with his little short legs.
The system was still behind him. As always, nobody else could see it, but it could touch and look after Xue Ling. “Just now, I entered the main computer’s database and found information about host’s lineage.”
“Oh. What kind of lineage is it?”
“When the nine-tailed fox is born into the world, the world will inevitably be chaotic.” The system laughed at these words. “There aren’t many related records. All I could find in the database was this clan and lineage’s introduction. I didn’t delve deeper in case the main computer finds out.”
Xue Ling had already fully accepted the fact that he had become a fox. At the end of the day, this was also his origin, so it did not take him much time to master his control over this body and it was very simple for him to do the quests. Perhaps it was because of his noble status, but the village chief not only gave him some relatively difficult tasks; those quests also gave a lot of experience. Within half a day, he had been promoted to level three. Although his level did not sound very high, most of the players in the novice village were still repeatedly falling over while trying to walk on four legs at this time, and had not even accepted a single quest. It was already enough that they had not fallen to a negative level, let alone level up.
Players were cursing and swearing at the system while they tried hard to learn how to walk with their new animal bodies. Each novice village was filled with quite a few novices, and probably because some of them cursed too soundly, they would be directly sent into a small black room by the system in order to learn to clean up their potty mouths.
Time in the game flowed differently from reality. One day in reality was fifteen days in game, which meant that by the time the protagonist shou entered the game, Seal the Devil had already been open for a month.
The land of Jiuzhou was extremely fantastical; the sun and moon was the same sphere in the sky. During the day, sunlight from the sphere spread through and shone on the entire Jiuzhou, and when it was night-time, it would automatically change into a moon. Night was a good time for the demon race to cultivate as moonlight was very beneficial for these newly born demons. Exposure to moonlight would also increase their experience, and although the process was minimal and barely discernible, no matter what, it was still rising!
The players laid flat on the ground one after another to bask in the moonlight.
By this time, Xue Ling had already obtained his first weapon, a beautiful bone fan made of white bone. It was not gloomy and horrible; on the contrary, it was elaborate, and even somewhat glittering and translucent. Xue Ling did not know what kind of bone it was made of, but it was unexpectedly useful.
This was something that he had pulled out from the den where he had been ‘born’. The attributes were fascinating – all the equipment information was displayed as a string of question marks. Xue Ling guessed that this was probably some sort of peak level artifact that would grow stronger over time.

In any case, it was easy to use, so he picked it up and kept it.
After completing another quest, Xue Ling saw that he had already reached the level that was required to leave the novice village. After he contentedly had the system pick up and organize the things that had been scattered all over the ground before placing them into his inventory, Xue Ling was ready to visit the village head and complete his transformation ceremony.
Demons needed to collect enough materials before leaving the novice village in order to perform their transformation ceremony. Xue Ling spent a week in order to finally obtain all the materials, and his level had also risen up to meet the requirements. He prepared to prepare a bit, and then go to find the protagonist gong.
As for the man who he had already tossed to the back of his brain and forgotten about?
Xue Ling wanted to explain that since the continent was so big, there was no way for him to look for him everywhere. It was much easier if he just waited for the man to come and find him instead.
