I Secretly Develop Myself In The Demon World - Chapter 4

Both young men were about the same age as him, twenty-five or twenty-six. One of them had ragged clothes, dark skin, and was trembling violently, his face full of fear.

On the contrary, the other youth dressed in white seemed quite strange.

Su Nan noticed that the white-robed youth had the best clothes among everyone in the room, with no significant damage.

At the same time, his eyes were tightly closed, his fists clenched, and the only expression on his face was ferocious, completely different from the fearful expressions of the others.

There was something off about this person!

Su Nan noticed the anomaly in the youth. If it were any other time, he would have investigated further. He might have discovered a hidden plot, but his current situation didn’t give him a chance.

The footsteps of the demon creatures stopped outside the cell door, followed by a series of friction sounds from iron chains. The heavy prison door was opened.

Red and yellow firelight shone into the cell from outside, illuminating the dim prison cell. Two figures stood in front of the cell door, emitting an intense oppressive feeling that made it hard for the prisoners to breathe.

Just as described in the foreknowledge, both creatures had wolf heads on humanoid bodies, tall and towering, about two meters high, with sharp tusks exposed and their faces ferocious and horrifying.

These were two Wolf Demons!

“Don’t choose me… Please don’t choose me!”

The dark-skinned youth beside him was trembling, as Su Nan held his breath. Even knowing this was a game, he was fully alert at that moment.

The two Wolf Demons didn’t enter the cell but stood at the door, scanning for suitable prey.

As predicted, the eyes of the two Wolf Demons first glanced at the corner on the right.

However, before Su Nan could breathe a sigh of relief, the Wolf Demons looked in his direction.

Immediately after, something unexpected happened.

One of the Wolf Demons entered the cell and walked straight towards him.

In an instant, Su Nan had an intuition that the target of the Wolf Demon was not someone else, but himself.

He had been targeted by the Wolf Demon!

This was completely different from what was mentioned in the foreknowledge.

“Is the foreknowledge wrong?” Su Nan’s face changed, and his first thought was that the foreknowledge might be at fault. However, he soon figured out why.

“I get it now. In the foreknowledge, it wasn’t just my bad luck that the two Wolf Demons chose me. Instead, they were targeting me.”

From the beginning, the Wolf Demons’ target had been him.

As for why this happened, in Su Nan’s view, the most likely cause was the number of people.

There were five people in the cell, with two people in each corner on the left and right. No matter where he chose, one of those corners would have three people. In this case, being targeted by the Wolf Demon every time seemed reasonable.

Of course, it didn’t rule out the possibility that there were other reasons unknown to Su Nan, but that was no longer important.

What he had to do now was figure out how to survive and overcome the current predicament.

The heavy footsteps of the Wolf Demon echoed in the cell, quickly reaching Su Nan’s corner.

For the first time, Su Nan had a close encounter with Monster Creatures in the game, experiencing an unprecedented pressure. Beside him, the other youth had already been scared to the point of collapsing on the ground, his face ashen.

“Quit game.”

Facing the terrifying Wolf Demon, which could kill him with one slap, Su Nan chose to quit the game, as there was no chance to escape.

The game only gave players one life every day. Once dead, they wouldn’t be able to log in that day, so staying alive was a priority.

[You are currently in a dangerous environment, and you cannot quit the game temporarily. Forcing an exit may have unknown consequences. Please choose a safe place to exit.]

[Complete today’s task for a chance to exit without restrictions.]

“Unable to exit?”

The game prompt appeared, and Su Nan’s heart sank, but he wasn’t too surprised.

If one could exit the game anytime, many people would not have been able to complete the Novice Task until now.

“I can only take things one step at a time, and if necessary, continue tomorrow.” He resigned himself, preparing for the forced exit after his death.

His ability to foresee the future still had one more use, but that didn’t matter.

Not to mention that the ability hadn’t cooled down yet, even if he could foresee the future once more, he was afraid the result would be the same.

The Wolf Demon arrived at Su Nan’s corner, and its two dark shiny claws reached out for both him and the ragged-clothed youth.

“Don’t grab me! Don’t grab me!”

The dark-skinned youth yelled in terror, desperately trying to resist.

This angered the Wolf Demon. Its furry arm swung, and the dark-skinned youth was slammed against the wall, his chest caved in and fresh blood gushing from his mouth.

“Such incredible strength!”

“No wonder my mission has been at least difficult. Faced with such beings, novice players have no chance of escape.”

Su Nan secretly took a deep breath, not daring to imagine the consequences of such strength hitting his own body.

The Wolf Demon didn’t care for the dark-skinned youth’s life or death. After grabbing him, it reached for Su Nan again.

Su Nan didn’t resist.

The result of the foreknowledge had clearly told him that resistance would lead to certain death!

Instead of dying here, he would rather see what the Wolf Demon wanted to do with them and where it wanted to take them.

Perhaps there would still be a chance to survive in a different place.

That’s what Su Nan thought.

However, at that very moment, a sudden change occurred.

The White-robed Youth suddenly stood up, whether it was because of the Wolf Demon’s actions or for some other reason, and let out a hoarse roar.

The next moment, the white-robed youth’s clothes burst, and his muscles writhed and swelled rapidly, breaking apart his skin. He grew taller, reaching about two meters thirty or forty, slightly taller than the Wolf Demon.

What was even more terrifying were his eyes. They expanded several times, but his eye sockets didn’t grow larger. This caused the eyeballs to protrude significantly, giving the impression they would burst out of their sockets at any moment.

At the same time, the human-like teeth of the white-robed youth fell out, replaced by thick, inward-curving tusks that grew at an alarming rate, tearing his mouth apart.

The sudden and horrifying transformation caught everyone off guard. The other two young men in the cell stared wide-eyed, their faces full of shock and terror. Su Nan, standing closest, felt a wave of madness.

Even if this was just a game, Su Nan was still somewhat overwhelmed by the transformation, which strongly assaulted his senses.

“A human martial artist? And an uncontrolled one at that!” The Wolf Demon recognized the state of the youth, not expecting a human martial artist in the cell.

“Excellent, the princess loves uncontrolled human martial artists the most.” After a brief moment of surprise, the Wolf Demon’s furry face showed a hint of delight.

“Uncontrolled?”

Hearing the Wolf Demon’s words, Su Nan snapped back to reality and immediately thought of something.

The term “uncontrolled” was sensitive. When he first entered the game, the game background had strongly emphasized the issue of loss of control.

Humans could only become stronger by merging with the bloodline of Wolf Demons, but as the bloodlines merged, conflicts between different bloodlines would lead to losing control, which is one of the basic settings in this game.

He also immediately thought of one of the three tasks, the one called “Kill the Uncontrolled Warrior.”

That four-star level task!
