Chapter 685: Chapter 362 Vermilion Bird Burning the Sky
“Demon God? Could it have been a god-level demon beast?”
Upon revisiting his foreknowledge, Su Nan suddenly considered a possibility and was taken aback.
Although the term “Demon God” is a self-designation used by the Demon Race, in the context of foreknowledge, it would not refer to the Demon Race’s self-appellation.
He hadn’t paid much attention to it before, but now it seemed that the suppressed demon beast was indeed at god-level!
“This is challenging! With my current strength, I can barely compete with a demon beast at the early stage of the Emperor level. Even if all three of my roles make a breakthrough to the King level, it would be impossible for me to contend with a demon beast at the peak Emperor level.”
“The only way to break this situation is to prevent the Demonic Emperors from opening the Formation and releasing the demon beast.”
Looking at the foreknowledge’s information, Su Nan frowned in thought.
Even if the demon beast hasn’t escaped, it can still permeate its power out of the Formation.
Under the power of the demon beast, his Across the Heavens Shift could work, but if he couldn’t escape the range of the demon beast’s power all at once, he would eventually be pulled back to the original place.
From the information of the foreknowledge, The Beast’s power enveloped the entire White Tiger Tribe’s ancestral land, and his Across the Heavens Shift couldn’t teleport to such a distance.
Besides using Across the Heavens Shift, it seems that he truly doesn’t have any other means to get out of the range of that demon beast’s power.
“Seems like the only way is to use the Directional Transfer Card!”
“It’s normal, if escaping was that easy, those Demon Emperors would have got out a long time ago and wouldn’t have waited until now.”
Su Nan quickly went through all the methods he possessed, eventually realizing a helpless fact.
Facing the spatial powers commanded by a demon beast at the peak Emperor level, he really didn’t have any effective solution.
“There is no urgency for Hu Xiaotian’s matters, let’s first get the Vermilion Bird Stone Egg.”
After summoning his avatar from the Mountain and Water Gourd and giving it some instructions, the avatar departed silently.
…
Yongzhou County.
In a little town named Changbei Town, Li Zheng was overjoyed.
The item in his hands had actually caught the attention of God Zhang Yang, something he’d never have dared to dream of before.
He knew perfectly well that even though what he’d possessed had a grand origin, it was no different from an ordinary stone now.
Trading a stone for divine metal was simply an unimaginable deal.
“Although the Moon Soul Pure Gold might not be the best fit, it is at least pure gold, that suffices the requirements of my task,” Li Zheng thought with excitement.
That’s right, the reason he wanted to exchange for divine metal, instead of ancient scriptures, was because of a task.
No one knew that more than ten days ago, he received a Mainline Task that was four-star from the very first phase!
Four-star and a Mainline Task at that, it was the first time he’d encountered a task of this type.
Initially, he didn’t hold any hope, finding it hard to believe he could complete the task. However, after attempting, he was pleasantly surprised to find out that he had a way to complete the seemingly difficult first phase of the mission.
After much effort to complete the first phase of the mission, he got the Vermilion Bird Stone Egg.
When he first saw the Vermilion Bird Stone Egg, he thought he was on the rise, but he quickly discovered with disappointment that he was thinking too much. This reward, which seemed to have a huge background, was actually just a broken stone!
Having no alternatives, he placed all his hopes on the second phase of the mission, hopeful that it could reward him with a good item that would make him skyrocket.
And yes, to complete the second phase mission, one of the conditions was that he needed a piece of divine metal.
He didn’t know what divine metal was till he looked up references. He was on the verge of despair seeing the results.
This wasn’t something he could possibly obtain!
He had been ready to give up on this mission when an unhoped-for chance appeared again. Zhang Yang had actually brought out a piece of divine metal. Not even thinking, he immediately put the only valuable item he had on hand, the Vermilion Bird Stone Egg, up on the forum.
But a day had passed and Zhang Yang had not contacted him.
In his opinion, Zhang Yang simply couldn’t value what he had put out. Disappointed, he had been ready to give up again.
Unexpectedly, it felt like fortune had favored him once again when Zhang Yang contacted him today on World Chat, agreeing to trade with him and appointing the meeting place as this location.
From despair to hope, and then from hope to disappointment, and finally from disappointment to hope realized, the roller coaster of emotions made him feel like he was dreaming.
“Although this Vermilion Bird Stone Egg is the egg of the Twelve Auspicious Beasts Vermilion Bird, it has completely petrified, with no vitality left. What does God Zhang Yang need this for?”
“Could it be that he has a way to resurrect the Vermilion Bird from this stone egg?”
After waiting for four hours, Li Zheng’s excitement gradually subsided. Looking at the Vermilion Bird Stone Egg again, he was puzzled.
He couldn’t help but wonder whether there was still a possibility of resurrection for this lifeless Vermilion Bird Stone Egg, or if it had other uses unknown to him.
“If the Vermilion Bird in this stone egg really has a chance of reviving, wouldn’t I lose out as I’m only trading it for a piece of divine metal?”
Li Zheng’s thoughts went round and round. For a moment, he had second thoughts.
He was hesitant about agreeing to trade with Zhang Yang.
“Forget it, even if Zhang Yang really has a way to revive the Vermilion Bird from this stone egg, it has nothing to do with me. The methods Zhang Yang has mastered are beyond comparison for me.”
“If it remains with me now, it’s very likely to rot in my hands forever. It’s better to get the divine metal first and complete the second phase of the mission.”
“At least when the second phase of the mission is completed, there will be tens of Demon Power points, and if I’m lucky, I might even get a treasure.”
