“Could it be another guy who wants to ridicule me?” The sight of a new message alert made Li Hao’s face turn even worse.

Before this, several players had already responded to his post, but without exception, they were all mocking him.

Li Hao was reluctant and didn’t want to pin his hopes on the forum any longer, but somehow, he still took a glance at the newly received reply.

“Private message me, I can help you leave the prison cell.

The message was concise, and Li Hao was startled upon reading it, somewhat unbelieving, he replied instinctively, “You can help me? Stop bluffing, do you even know where I am imprisoned?”

As soon as the message was sent, the other party responded within a breath.

“Kun Tian Prison.”

An involuntary shudder ran through Li Hao on seeing just these three words, and his face immediately filled with delight.

There was detailed information about Novice Tasks, and he had taken the task of escaping his cell before. The task instructions clearly informed him that it was a special prison called Kun Tian Prison.

He hadn’t told this information to anyone.

“There are other players in that prison!” Li Hao was overjoyed and immediately initiated a private message to Su Nan.

“Brother, save me; I can give you whatever amount of money you want,” Li Hao was generous, appearing as if money was no object to him.

But when he saw the other party’s reply, he was stunned once again.

“I want all your Task Rewards.”

Impossible!

Li Hao responded without even thinking.

What was he joking? He knew that in the early stages of the game, Demon Sutra and bloodlines were not easy to obtain. Only Novice Tasks and subsequent Mainline Tasks might grant these rewards.

The purpose of the game’s Novice Task rewards was to allow players to adapt to the game quickly. But if he loses the Demon Sutra and bloodlines, he won’t be able to use Demon Power even if he gains it later, making him no different

from a powerless newcomer.

He wanted to negotiate with the other party and change the terms of

assistance.

However, the other party responded very directly, “Think it over and give me an answer before midnight.”

“I can assure you that in this prison, no one but me can save you.”

After sending these two messages, the other party seemed to have logged out of the forum, and no matter how Li Hao replied, there was no response.

As Su Nan expected, he had logged out of the forum.

He knew that anyone faced with this condition would refuse.

Su Nan was not in a hurry, he logged into the game directly after leaving the forum.

He still had one opportunity for foreknowledge remaining today.

In the game, he appeared in the corridor of the prison.

Unexpectedly, he had just logged in when he heard a clear clicking sound.

It was the Wolf Demon Guard!

Unfortunately, this time he had encountered a Wolf Demon upon logging in.

With no other choice, Su Nan could only use his one-time unrestricted logout opportunity to quit the game.

Only an hour later did he log in again.

The Wolf Demon Guard seemed to just be on routine patrol and didn’t linger in the prison. This time, he didn’t encounter the Wolf Demon again.

“Foreknowledge!”

Upon using his last foreknowledge opportunity, he wanted to foresee if taking on the appearance of the Wolf Demon would allow him to leave the prison.

“[You use Boneshifting to transform into the appearance of a Level One Wolf

Demon Guard, intending to escape the prison.]”

“[You quickly reach the prison’s exit, but this time you are not killed directly.]” “[As you continue walking forward, you suddenly see a stone statue of a wolf-headed creature standing to the side of the stone door.]”

“[At this moment, the stone statue opens its eyes and stares directly at you.]” “A stone statue? It seems that the thing that killed me with a single shout last time was this,” Su Nan suddenly realized.

“[The stone statue questions you, ‘Where is your Identity Token? ]

“[You stammer and don’t answer, the stone statue questions you again, this time you say you’ve lost the Identity Token.]’

“[Your reply finally arouses the suspicion of the stone statue, it swipes a claw at you. You’re powerless to resist, and it easily seizes you.]

“[Detecting your abnormality, the stone statue lets out an angry roar.]”

“[You’re dead.]”

“To escape the prison, I need the Wolf Demon’s Identity Token.

End of foreknowledge, Su Nan was not surprised, but delighted instead.

The foreknowledge not only informed him of the item required to escape the prison but, more importantly, even the powerful monster guarding the exit couldn’t see through his disguise.

This was crucial to whether he could leave or not.

“To leave, I must get the Wolf Demon Guard’s Identity Token, but I’m no match for the Wolf Demon right now.”

The strength of the monsters in this prison had been significantly weakened, only having two-thirds of their usual strength. In this situation, his two types of Demon Sutra Great Perfection was barely enough to deal with them, meaning that normal Mortal-level monsters were equivalent to martial artists with three types of Demon Sutra Great Perfection.

Wolf Demon Guards are at the Spirit Level. He’s no match for them, even with three types of Demon Sutra Great Perfection, let alone just two.

He couldn’t possibly get hold of the identity token from the Wolf Demon Guard directly, so he had to think of another way.

As Su Nan calculated rapidly in his heart, he contemplated how to get the

Identity Token from the Wolf Demon.

Quit game.

Checking the time, it’s already 11 PM now.

As he opens the forum, a series of unread messages pop up, all of which are from Li Hao without exception.

Reading from top to bottom, Su Nan reveals a smile at the corner of his mouth.

Li Hao had agreed to the trade.

“Great, now I have another bloodline and Demon Sutra in my grasp.

With a smile, Su Nan then sent Li Hao a message.

On the other side, Li Hao finally received Su Nan’s reply.

His reply was brief and instructed Li Hao to log in to the game at 12:03 AM.

“12:03 AM? Fine, I want to see how you plan to rescue me.

Not long ago, after much deliberation, he agreed to trade with Su Nan.

He had no choice. If what Su Nan said was true and he was the only one in Kun Tian Prison who could save him, then he didn’t have a choice.

At the same time, he wanted to see how Su Nan planned to save him.

He knew there was a monster in the prison cell where he was.

To his knowledge, the only people who could face a monster alone were the top ten on the Ranking List.

“No, even the top ten players are no match for the monsters.

“So how did he save me?” Li Hao’s eyes filled with anticipation.

Midnight.

Su Nan logged into the game on time.

He used his own character, as the character Zhang Yang was a secret, and it was best not to let anyone know about it.

There were three Daily Tasks displayed before him, and the first two were still “Kill a Guard” and “Hunt down and kill a Mortal-level demon.

What Su Nan didn’t expect was still the third task.

“[Daily Task Three: Kill a Level Two Guard]”

Task Difficulty: Four stars.

Task Reward: 30 Demon Points.

A Four-star Task!

This was the first Four-star Task that Su Nan had encountered apart from the Novice Tasks.

“Absurd! I’m no match even for a Level One Guard, let alone a Level Two.”

Su Nan shook his head, knowing that the task would be impossible to complete for a long time.

“Now, let’s get Li Hao out of here first..”
