“Didn’t they say that the Wolf Demon would patrol from ten o’clock in the evening to two in the morning? Why don’t I see it now?”

Walking silently in the corridor, Zhou Cheng glanced at the freshly refreshed Daily Tasks on the Task Panel.

There were three Daily Tasks, the first one was to hunt down a mortal-level demon, quite common, yet difficult to complete at present unless he could get the keys to these prison cells, otherwise, he would have to leave the Kun Tian Prison.

The second task had a three-star difficulty, which was to explore the second floor of the prison. This task wasn’t hard for him. As long as a demon entered the second floor, he could mingle and sneak in with it.

What he paid attention to, was the last task.

He had anticipated the appearance of this task, having learned it from Zhang Feng’s mouth a long time ago.

However, what differed from the information he got was that this wasn’t a three-star task, but a two-star task.

The task difficulty has decreased, what’s going on? Has the Wolf Demon’s strength declined?”

Zhou Cheng was puzzled as this was the first time he encountered such a situation.

Three-star tasks corresponded to Spirit Level, and two-star tasks to Mortal Level. He couldn’t figure out how a task to hunt a Spirit-level demon could be two-star.

Little did he know that in the judgment of the game, the Wolf Demon was no longer considered a Spirit-level monster.

“No matter what caused it, this is good news for me.” Zhou Cheng’s eyes gleamed with delight.

“Maybe, I could find an opportunity to kill that Wolf Demon.”

Initially, he just wanted to steal the keys to the prison cells from the Wolf Demon, but now he changed his mind.

With a flip of his hand, he took out a slender dagger from his Personal Space. The entire dagger was white, appearing to be a polished piece of bone.

This was a dagger he had risked great danger to steal not long ago, and it had a strong restraint against demons.

With this dagger and the treasure that could transform him into a shadow, he could say that hunting mortal-level monsters was smooth sailing.

Suddenly, he heard a series of footsteps coming.

“The Wolf Demon is here!”

Zhou Cheng was shocked and immediately turned into a black shadow and hid in a corner, blending with the shadow of the corner.

Leaving the prison cell, Su Nan walked slowly towards the depths of the prison, contemplating how to deal with Zhou Cheng if he encountered him.

Zhou Cheng’s third Monster Technique had not yet reached Great Perfection, so he wasn’t a major threat, but Zhou Cheng’s ability to transform into a shadow was a headache for him.

“Zhou Cheng can turn into a shadow and follow behind others, with effective concealment. Would observing the shadow’s changes expose him?”

He thought of a method, but then he shook his head.

“No, if it were that easy, he couldn’t have slipped in so easily.”

Powerful demons could even detect being observed, so there was no way a demon couldn’t detect a trailing shadow.

Zhou Cheng’s ability was not as simple as he imagined, at least with his current abilities it was hard to find Zhou Cheng.

“It seems to crack Zhou Cheng’s ability, I still have to use foreknowledge.”

After thinking for a while, he decided to use foreknowledge once.

[You know that a stranger from outside has sneaked into the Kun Tian Prison, and you want to find him out.]

[You carefully observe the situation in the corridor, especially those hidden corners.]

[However, even so, you don’t find anything. You have no idea that when you pass cell number 40, a shadow enters at your feet and follows you forward.]

“He really is here!”

Seeing this, Su Nan was not frightened. Instead, he was overjoyed.

As long as Zhou Cheng logs into the game, he would have a chance to complete the Novice Task.

[A minute later, you reach the end of the first floor without gaining anything.

You have no choice but to turn back and return.]

[You arrive in front of cell number 49, open the cell door, and walk in, planning to kill the demon inside the cell.]

[The shadow following you seems to hesitate to enter the cell and it doesn’t continue to follow you; instead, it stays outside the cell.]

“This guy is really cautious.” Su Nan sighed.

If Zhou Cheng could follow him into the cell, he could completely use the cell to trap Zhou Cheng in the prison.

Obviously, before this, he used cells to imprison Zhang Feng and others, making Zhou Cheng understand that once you enter a cell and if you don’t have a key, it’s hard to get out.

Su Nan regretted a little. If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have imprisoned Zhang Feng and the others. Compared to Zhou Cheng, a big fish, the others were nothing.

[More than a minute later, you kill the demon in the cell and leave the cell.]

[The moment you leave the cell, the Outsider who has turned into a shadow can’t suppress it anymore and suddenly attacks you.]

[You sense danger and immediately use the Bloodline Combat Skill Windstep to dodge this attack.]

[However, despite your fast speed, the Outsider is even faster.]

“Huh? Zhou Cheng’s speed is even faster than mine with Windstep!”

Su Nan was surprised. Then he thought of a possibility: “It seems that at least two of the three bloodlines he integrated are based on speed!”

[Unfortunately, you were injured by the Outsider using a bone device, your strength is affected, and your power is greatly reduced temporarily.]

[You don’t know that the weapon the Outsider uses is crafted by the Ancient Human Clan specifically for demons and only works against demons.]

[After successful first attack, the Outsider launches another attack on you, you fight back with all your strength, and after realizing that your remaining strength is still very strong, the Outsider changes its strategy and plans to fight with you relying on speed.]

[Your speed is slightly slower than the Outsider’s. Every time you attack, the Outsider barely dodges. At critical moments, you use lightning to injure it.]

[After the Outsider realizes that it’s not your match, it decisively flees.]

The foreknowledge ends.

This premonition made Su Nan experience several surprises in a row.

“Bone device? There are such things in the game?”

Good stuff, it would be nice if I can get hold of it.”

Su Nan was tempted. If he had such a thing, the Wolf Demon Guard would have been killed by him yesterday.

However, he also knew that this would be very difficult.

Players have their individual spaces, and they will definitely put away the items before they die. This game does not have a mechanism of dropping equipment upon death.

But he did not give up.

Zhou Cheng’s speed is faster than mine, it seems I have to strike first.”

He continues moving, maintaining his previous speed towards cell number 40.

“He’s coming!”

In the corner, Zhou Cheng, who has melded into a shadow, holds his breath, ready to strike at any moment.

Su Nan arrives at cell number 39, and as he reaches here, he suddenly stops without advancing further.

His gaze sweeps over to a corner in front of cell number 40; it’s the most likely place for someone to hide.

In the premonition, he didn’t know that Zhou Cheng was following him; he was passive and waited for Zhou Cheng to strike.

Now that he knows Zhou Cheng will be here, he would not be so foolish as to wait for Zhou Cheng to strike.

“Could this Wolf Demon have found me?”

Seeing Su Nan’s gaze over, Zhou Cheng, who has blended into the darkness, is taken aback. A thought flashes through his mind.

Then he shakes his head secretly: “Impossible, this Wolf Demon is a spirit level demon at best, he can’t possibly find me.”

It s not self-consolation, but confidence in his own abilities.

However, at this moment, Su Nan makes a move..
