I Secretly Develop Myself In The Demon World

However, it wasn’t over yet.

Just over a dozen breaths after the first array node was broken.

That feeling of sudden lightness reappeared out of nowhere.

Another array node was shattered!

“Which region’s array node has been broken?”

“It’s Yongzhou County! The first array node was in Yongzhou County!”

“The second one is in Busan County! The array node in Busan County has also been broken.”

The impact of the consecutive breaking of two array nodes was immense. Players in the regional chat instantly exploded in conversation.

“Yongzhou County and Busan County are done for. The breaking of the array nodes not only affects other counties, but even more so for these two.”

“With the loss of two array nodes, the suppression of the demons by the remaining nodes in other counties will further decrease. The strongest force attacking this time is only spirit-level monsters, but next time, it will be mid-stage Xuan-level!”

“What’s more, without the suppression of the array nodes, the strength of the demons in these two counties will greatly increase. Since there are already more demons than human martial artists, the strength of those demons will be even more enhanced, and it’s certain that these two counties won’t be able to hold out!”

Some people obviously understood the impact of the broken array nodes and pointed out the disadvantages.

Hearing this, some players who were originally just watching the excitement suddenly felt uneasy.

What a joke, the strongest demon this time was only at the spirit-level, and they could only be cannon fodder.

If next time Xuan-level Great Monsters appeared, wouldn’t they not even be able to be cannon fodder?

“Why does it mean that when the array nodes are broken, demon strength will increase? Is it possible that the demons we are facing now are not in their heyday?”

No one doubted that there would be Xuan-level Great Monsters attacking next. What puzzled everyone was why the strength of the demons would increase. “The reason is very simple. Although we have merged with the demons’ bloodline, our strength is still far inferior to the demons. If it weren’t for the suppression of the Heavenly Dome Divine Prohibition, even in a battle against same-level demons, we would be no match for the demons.”

“Although only one array node is broken in the two counties, the suppression of the demon strength has been reduced by half. As a result, even when facing same-level Demon Beasts within the territory of these two counties, martial artists are no longer able to hold their ground.”

“Most importantly, once a node is broken, it is basically impossible to defend the other node. Just wait, next time, the remaining nodes in these two counties will undoubtedly be broken!”

We are facing demons whose strength has been suppressed?

Su Nan was surprised, as this was the first time he heard such a theory.

“If that’s the case, doesn’t it mean that once the array nodes are completely destroyed, hunting demons would require a martial artist to be at least one small realm higher than the demon and possibly even two small realms higher to have a chance?”

With a frown, Su Nan thought, if that were true, then once the array nodes in the Nine Districts were all broken, the newly arriving players would be in for a rough time.

Just as he was pondering, a prompt suddenly popped up.

[This side quest has ended, congratulations, you have attained a total of 3872 contribution points.]

“The task is over?”

Su Nan’s eyes lit up, and he immediately looked at the contribution leaderboard.

He saw that the contribution rankings had once again undergone earth-shattering changes.

[First Place: Wang Nan, 5210 contribution points]

[Second Place: Zhang Yang, 4.981 contribution points]

[Third Place: Lang Thirteen, 3981 contribution points]

[Fourth Place: Zhuang Bin, 1810 contribution points]

[Fifth Place: Qian Yu, 1713 contribution points]

[Sixth Rank: Yang Fei, 1558 contribution points]

[Seventh Place: Wu Xiaoxiao, 1520 contribution points]

[Eighth Place: Jiang Yuliang, 1487 contribution points]

[Ninth Place: Bai Meng, 1450 contribution points]

[Tenth Place: Fan Zheng, 1414 contribution points]

He glanced over the top ten on the leaderboard.

Unsurprisingly, his three roles swept the top three, leaving everyone else far behind, with a gap of more than two thousand points between them and fourth place.

“Zhuang Bin? This person wasn’t in the top ten realm rankings last time, where did he come from?”

Noticing the unfamiliar player ranked fourth right below him, Su Nan was surprised.

However, he soon learned the origin of Zhuang Bin from the regional chat.

It turned out that he, like Wu Xiaoxiao who ranked seventh, Jiang Yuliang who ranked eighth, and Fan Zheng who ranked tenth, were all players who entered the game for the first time during the public beta test.

Unlike other players, these few were extremely lucky. As soon as they entered the game, they were taken in by the several elder members of the Three Sects and Six Religions.

Afterward, they were nurtured by their respective sects, and they did not have to worry about their daily tasks as they were led by others to complete them. One could say that they were skyrocketing in success.

However, perhaps due to the involvement of other people in their tasks, these players never seemed to get higher-level tasks, and the demon power they obtained was not too high.

Even so, they still easily outperformed the vast majority of players.

At the end of the last survival task, only Wu Xiaoxiao managed to secure a spot in the top ten, but the remaining few all maintained their positions in the top twenty.

This time, the task of guarding the array nodes began, and they received even more special care from their respective forces.

“Luck Child, so that’s what you all are.” Su Nan came to a realization.

He had long heard that there were a group of players with incredible luck who were called Luck Children, and it was clearly these four.

Aside from these four, the remaining ranks on the contribution leaderboard were all familiar faces.

As for Qian Yu, ranked fifth, there was no need to say much. He had always been very stable..
