Chapter 8: Chapter 8 Mountain Elephant Bloodline
He tried to log in to the game using the bracelet yesterday, but it was not successful initially. When he was about to give up, he oddly managed to log in.
At that time, he saw the prompt "the previous player has died", which puzzled him. After all, game characters can be resurrected after death, so why did the game allow him to log in?
Now it appears that the game prompt "the previous player has died" likely refers to actual death.
Su Nan's face changed. If it really is as he speculated, then this matter may be somewhat beyond what science can explain.
Wang Chong did not perceive Su Nan's eerie demeanor and continued to look at the photo, shaking his head in pity at the sight of the woman.
Su Nan stared at the picture, and suddenly, he made another discovery.
He saw, tucked away in the crowd at the corner of the photograph, two men wearing duckbill caps with their faces obscured by black masks.
"It's them!"
Su Nan's heart skipped a beat again. Clearly, those two men are the same individuals he encountered yesterday.
Fixated on the two men in the photo, Su Nan's mind was filled with tumultuous thoughts.
He suddenly considered the possibility that the woman in black didn't commit suicide — she was killed by these two men!
It's no wonder he made such an inference. Yesterday when he met the two men, he noticed that they seemed to be chasing something.
Looking back now, it's highly likely that the two men were chasing after the woman in black.
Recalling the urgency on the woman's face as well, Su Nan felt a chill run down his spine in an instant.
Quietly withdrawing his gaze and calming his emotions, Su Nan became certain at that moment — the woman was murdered.
And the murderers were likely those two men.
As for why they did this, Su Nan speculated that it was probably related to the game bracelet he had obtained.
"What secrets does that bracelet hold?"
Su Nan didn't intend to provide any clues to the police. He'd decided not to mention anything about the bracelet, or even anything game-related at all.
...
As night fell, Su Nan ended a day's work and headed home after work.
Better safe than sorry. He didn't take the same route as yesterday, but chose another one instead.
This is also a route he often takes for his nightly run, so no one would find it odd if he changed his route.
Moreover, the most important thing was that this path had a lot of pedestrian traffic.
With an anxious heart, he returned home, and immediately took out the game bracelet of the Demon World for a careful study.
Unfortunately, after studying it for a while, he found nothing unusual about it.
"I hope it's all just my imagination!"
Taking a deep breath, he stopped overthinking, put on the bracelet and logged into the game warehouse.
Where you die, you shall respawn.
It was the same prison cell as before. Unlike yesterday, there was no one else here today, not even the white-robed youth's corpse from yesterday.
[Congratulations, Novice Task Completed.]
[Daily Task Activation, Main Quest Activation, check the Task Center for tasks and collect rewards.]
Seeing the task completion prompt again, a look of joy appeared on Su Nan's face. freeweb(n)ovel.com
Confirming that it was temporarily safe around him, he opened the task panel for the first time.
[Would you like to claim the "Kill the Uncontrolled Warrior" task reward?]
Without hesitation, he immediately claimed it!
[Congratulations on acquiring the Mountain Elephant Bloodline, Mountain Elephant Sutra, 30 Demon Points, and Technique Seed - Bone-shifting.]
[The reward has been stored in Personal Space, please check your Personal Space.]
[Daily Task has been activated.]
[Main Quest has been activated.]
With all four rewards received, he didn't check the daily and main quests anymore, and immediately opened his Personal Space with eagerness.
Personal Space is a grid of ten by ten cells, able to store a hundred items in total.
There are presently five items in his Personal Space.
The first is a dagger, the second is a key, the same two items he obtained yesterday.
Su Nan didn't expect that the two items would automatically be stored in his Personal Space after his death.
The remaining three items are a fist-sized ruby red diamond-like stone, a palm-sized white jade plate and a grape-sized purple crystal.
Su Nan took out the ruby red diamond-like stone. The stone had a certain transparency, he could clearly see that within its interior, something resembling a giant elephant was carved.
[Mountain Elephant Bloodline Crystal: Physique Series, Mortal-Level Bloodline, mature Mountain Elephants possess mountain-carrying strength, consume to obtain the Mountain Elephant Bloodline.]
"Physique series? Seems like the demons' bloodlines in the game are divided into different series." Su Nan pondered.
Afterward, he took out the white jade plate.
[Mountain Elephant Sutra: Mortal-Level Demon Sutra, this Sutra is used by juvenile Mountain Elephants of the Mountain Elephant Clan to greatly enhance the power of the Mountain Elephant Bloodline. Use to obtain the method of practicing the Mountain Elephant Sutra. Do you wish to use?]
"As I thought, the white jade plate is the Mountain Elephant Sutra, then the last item must definitely be the Technique Seed."
He put down the jade plate holding the Mountain Elephant Sutra and picked up the grape-sized purple crystal.
[Technique Seed - Bone-shifting Technique: Upon use, a Technique Seed possessing the power of Bone-shifting will condense within the body. Do you wish to use it?]
"A Technique Seed will condense in the body? There's no information about this thing on the forum, I wonder what its actual use is."
The game's introduction of the Technique Seed was too brief, he couldn't tell its true use.
However, he knew that the rarer it is, the more valuable it is. This Technique Seed must be extraordinary.
Without any hesitation, he picked up the bloodline crystal and prepared to use it first.
As the Bloodline Crystal went down his throat, he could instantly feel a burning force spreading through his body. That force became stronger and more violent over time.
He felt as though if he didn't suppress this force quickly, his body would explode under its impact soon.
"Tss... This feels too real!" Su Nan took a breath of cold air, enduring the pain while immediately picking up the jade plate containing the Mountain Elephant Sutra.
Use it!
With a single thought, the jade plate shattered, and a white ray shot out, instantly entering Su Nan's forehead.
Instantly, a large amount of information about the operation of the Mountain Elephant Sutra appeared in Su Nan's mind. Without thinking too much, he instinctively controlled the violent force within his body in accordance with the information received.
Surprisingly, as soon as the Mountain Elephant Sutra was activated, the sensation that his body was about to burst instantly disappeared.
"It worked!"
A sense of enlightenment rose in his heart. He immediately opened his Personal Information Panel to check.
