“Well, since Director Zhang has made his choice, it’s not my place to say any more.” The black-clothed old man shook his head, no longer urging.

“Senior, I still have over 900 demon-slaying points. I plan to exchange them for 5 Life-Extending Pills.”

“The exchange rate for Life-Extending Pills is 180 demon-slaying points per bottle. It will exactly amount to 900 points for five bottles. Are you sure you want to exchange?”

“Yes!”

A few minutes later.

Su Nan left the Governor’s Mansion.

The effect of the Life-Extending Pills was much better than the Jade Essence Liquid. Saying that one bottle could replace two was not an exaggeration.

With the 5 bottles of diluted Life Essence he still had, the vitality he needed this time was almost enough.

“Now it’s time to get Wang Nan’s side quest.”

Looking at the time, there’s just over 10 hours left until the countdown for the side quest begins.

According to his plan, he intended to complete three side quests alone.

Zhang Yang was tasked with guarding the Martial King Temple, Lang Thirteen with attacking the Golden Rosy Clouds Tower, and Wang Nan was responsible for cleaning up the mess after Lang Thirteen dealt with the players.

To trigger the task of guarding the Golden Rosy Clouds Tower was simple, just go to the tower and find a disciple of the Dianxing Sect and register to participate.

More than ten minutes later.

He changed his appearance and successfully took up the quest as an ordinary outsider.

[Congratulations, you have been granted a branch quest “Human Crisis”. Please go to the task bar for detailed information.]

“Everything is ready; now just wait for the task to start.”

“I wonder how many contribution points I can get from my three roles this time.”

There was an expression of expectation in Su Nan’s eyes.

Unfortunately, the quest did not specifically state how many contribution points could be obtained from hunting down and killing a mortal-level demon.

He would have to wait until the task started and test it himself.

The Contribution Leaderboard appeared before his eyes.

As expected, the top three were still his three roles.

And this was under the circumstance that of his three daily role tasks today, only Lang Thirteen had completed one.

“There is no rush for the daily tasks. The side quests will start soon, and there will be plenty of demons. It would be easy to complete the daily tasks.”

“It’s almost two o’clock in the morning. It’s time to sleep and recharge.

Glancing at the time, Su Nan logged out of the game.

The next day.

He woke up from a good night’s sleep.

It was already eight o’clock in the morning.

After breakfast, Su Nan hurried back to his rented place.

With nothing to do, he habitually opened the forum and started browsing.

“The situation of the human race doesn’t look good. The demon clan seems determined to eradiate the human race.”

“It’s too terrifying. Over 400 spirit-level demons have reportedly gathered in our Yellow Sand County. Countless mortal-level demons, yet we only have 300 spiritual-grade martial artists in our Yellow Sand County. How are we supposed to fight this?”

“Same here, the number of human warriors is too few. The situation in our Silver Frost County isn’t much better.”

“In our Silver Frost County, over 300 spirit-level demons have gathered, and we only have just over 200 spirit-level martial artists. We are short of over a hundred in top-end combat power, not to mention at the mortal level.”

“Since the demons have all gathered together now, why don’t those strong guys take action directly and wipe out all those demons?”

“You think they don’t want to? As far as I know, most of the human experts are now tied up by the great monsters of the demon clan, and there’s no opportunity for them to take action.”

On the forum, almost all topics were discussing this node guarding task.

Su Nan roughly looked and was secretly shocked.

Compared to human warriors, the number of demons was far greater. Almost every county lacks the strength to counter the demons.

Whether at the mortal or spirit level!

Before, demons were scattered everywhere, in mountains, sand rivers and wilderness, demons were everywhere.

Human warriors, on the contrary, were concentrated in one place and could barely make a stand against the demons.

Now under the command of the Demon Monarch, the scattered demons begin to gather, and the disadvantage of the human race was instantly revealed.

Even with all the human warriors from various major forces coming forward, they are also like small boats in the waves under this onslaught.

“The human race is truly in danger. The outcome of this task might result in the human race being wiped out!” Su Nan looked serious.

This is not him being pessimistic.

Considering the current situation, the human race is indeed on the verge of a crisis.

He could even imagine that once the Heavenly Dome Divine Prohibition is broken this time, the human race will inevitably be plunged into a time of deep darkness.

This darkness will be unprecedented.

Even greater than the darkness after ancient times!

It’s not impossible that the human race could be annihilated because of it!

“The appearance of the game, Demon World, at this point in time, might possibly be intended to save the human race.”

“Sadly though, the time left for the players is too short!”

Su Nan sighed in silence.

If what he imagined were to really happen, it would also be a fatal blow to the players.

Without the protection of the human race, even if the players can resurrect from death, surviving in a world controlled by demons would be as difficult as climbing to heaven.

Moreover, even in the subsequent third public beta test of the game when a large number of players poured into the game, without the protection of the human race, it would not be much different from suicide.

By then, even if one hundred million people join in each public beta test, it will be good if 1% or 0.1% can eventually stay.

“Why bother thinking so much? If the extinction of the human race is indeed inevitable, then it’s not something that I can prevent, and it won’t change just because of me.”

“What I need to do now is to become stronger as quickly as possible before the human race is completely plunged into darkness, and strengthen myself by whatever means necessary!”

Time passes, and more than three hours have passed.

In the blink of an eye, only half an hour was left before the task begins.

Martial King Temple.

At this time, it was already besieged tightly by a large number of martial artists and players.

At the heart of Martial King Temple, the city guard led by Tian He was naturally at the center.

There were three to four hundred of them. Unfortunately, most of them were mortal warriors, and there were only over sixty spiritual-grade martial artists.

Such a number of martial artists is still far less in comparison to the demons.

Outside the city guard is the Demon Hunting Bureau.

Compared with the city guard, the team from the Demon Hunting Bureau was more ragged.

There are indeed quite a lot of mortal warriors – over a hundred, but only about a dozen are spiritual-grade martial artists!

Outside the Demon Hunting Bureau’s team is a large number of players.

Apart from the newcomers in this public test, there are only a few dozen old players.

Su Nan understood the situation.

Nowadays, the old players in Tianyun County have basically joined Zhou Cheng’s Deification Guild, Ma Hua’s Arson Guild, and Li Ye’s Club of World Suppression.

And these three guilds united and defended the Golden Rosy Clouds Tower entirely.

So, the only ones who would choose to guard the Martial King Temple are the individual players who are unwilling to join any guilds.

“God Zhang Yang is here! God Zhang Yang has come!”

“With God Zhang Yang presiding, we will definitely succeed this mission.”

Seeing Su Nan arriving, a group of new players shouted with excitement.

Su Nan ignored these players and quickly entered the Martial King Temple.

“Director Zhang, thank goodness you’re finally here!” Seeing Su Nan, Tian He was relieved.

If there were no Su Nan, the chances of holding onto the Martial King Temple with just him and the city guard would be slim.

“Commander Tian, without me, how long do you think you all can hold up?” Su Nan asked.

He has to complete Lang Thirteen’s task soon, so he could only leave Martial King Temple to Tian He for the time being.

Tian He pondered and replied with a serious expression, “This time, the demon clan is coming aggressively. There are about one hundred and fifty Spirit-level Monsters and five to six hundred Mortal-level demons at each node, which is far more than our martial artists.”

“With our strength and some tactics, it would not be a problem to hold on for over twenty minutes.”

“Over twenty minutes? That’s enough.” Su Nan nodded secretly.

“What’s going on, Director Zhang? Why are you asking this?” Having finally reacted, Tian He asked in confusion.

Su Nan explained, “Commander Tian, I have something to do in a while, which might delay some time. I will have to leave this place to you first.”

Hearing this, Tian He became anxious and quickly said, “Director Zhang, what’s so urgent that it can’t wait?”

Su Nan comforted, “Don’t worry, Commander Tian. It won’t take up too much time.”

Over ten minutes passed.

It was now just over twenty minutes left before the task began.

Looking far away, one could vaguely see a large congregation of demons gathering several miles away.

All the martial artists were tensed, preparing for this battle that was related to the future of the human race.

At a place named Little Elephant Mountain, three miles away from the Golden Rosy Clouds Tower, it was a gathering place for demons.

Su Nan transformed into a Wolf demon and arrived here..Foll𝑜w current novℯls on nov𝒆lb((in).(com)
