Online Games: From Professional Gold Farmer to Night King

When Wang Xing heard that there were hundreds of demons in Ironstone City, his heart was pounding with excitement.

His third task condition is to kill 1000 ordinary demons, plus 10 demon generals. If Ironstone City alone can kill hundreds of demons, then the third seal will be broken soon.

When the attribute value doubles, it will jump directly from 400 points to 800 points! Then my strength will surely reach a new level again.

The difference of 400 in all attributes is almost equivalent to the difference between a silver set and a gold set.

Not to mention the accompanying rewards, such as high-level equipment and legendary skills, which will undoubtedly greatly enhance Wang Xing's strength.

However, when Wang Xing heard the black cat say the second half of the sentence, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his mind was filled with the six words "no weakened state".

Wang Xing clearly understood that the reason why players were able to kill the demons at this stage was entirely due to the demons' "weak" state.

The longer the demons have been around, the weaker they become, as can be seen from the spider demons we killed earlier.

Spider Demon and Power Demon are both demons of the same rank, but the difference in their attributes is enormous, and the gap between the two Demon Generals is even greater.

Just by slightly reducing their weakened state, the demons' strength has increased so much. It's unimaginable how powerful the demons would be without their weakened state.

Even if Wang Xing is powerful now, he probably still wouldn't be able to defeat the Demon Commander when he's not in a weakened state.

Not to mention the hundreds of demons and the tens of thousands of corrupted monsters.

With this kind of strength, they're probably strong enough to conquer a city!

"Captain Black Cat, there's something I don't understand. Why did the demons of Ironstone City emerge from their weakened state? This is clearly different from the other demons. What happened? Also, where is the core location of the demons in Ironstone City? Could you tell me?"

The black cat slowly shook its head. "We don't know the exact location of the outbreak. I personally led a team there to gather intelligence on the demons in Ironstone City, but unfortunately, we were surrounded and killed by the demon army outside a small mountain. What I can confirm is that the core gathering place of the demons is very likely near that small mountain, but I don't know the exact location."

"A small hill? Is it one that's completely blocked off by stone walls, about 20 or 30 meters high, and covers an area of ​​about three or four miles?"

"Huh? How did you know? Have you been there?"

Looking at the surprise on the black cat's face, it was clear that what was said had come true.

Wang Xing leaned back in his chair, looking rather dejected, his mind filled with the image of the small valley where he had killed the Light Unicorn.

Thinking back, there were indeed some strange things. For example, why was the Light Unicorn, as the leader BOSS, limited to the edge of that pool? Why couldn't it leave the pool area?

If it weren't for this, Wang Xing would have been killed by the Light Unicorn long ago, and would never have been able to obtain the later silver equipment, let alone Xiao Bai, the number one purple-level pet in the entire server.

"So that's it... So that's why Little White can't leave the pool—because demons are sealed beneath it! No wonder when we encountered demons later, they noticed Little White immediately, their voices filled with fear and hatred. It turns out the Light Unicorn is specifically designed to subdue and seal demons!"

"By killing the Radiant Unicorn, I indirectly released the demons sealed in the pool. It's been over a month since I killed the unicorn, no wonder these demons were able to recover from their weakened state; heaven knows what they've been doing for the past month!!"

Everything makes sense now, except that it was all caused by Wang Xing.

If it weren't for Wang Xing, the demons inside would never have been able to break the seal, let alone develop to this irreversible state.

As time goes on, the number of demons who have recovered from their weakened state will only increase, and their strength will also increase to the point that players will be completely unable to resist them!

"The players in Ironstone City... are in for a world of trouble..." Wang Xing muttered to himself.

Hearing Wang Xing's mutterings, the black cat nodded noncommittally. "They're definitely in for a rough time. With such a massive number of demons, plus the demons who have recovered from their weakened state, unless all the players in Ironstone City unite, they are no match for the demon army."

"Join forces? Ha~" Wang Xing scoffed.

Although the Overlord Blade Alliance has now gained a firm grip on the entire Ironstone City, other guilds still have the power to resist, and the Overlord Blade Alliance does not have absolute say.

Furthermore, even if several guilds put aside their past grievances and join forces, due to the involvement of various interests, none of them will be willing to use their full strength to fight the demons to the death.

After all, dying once means dropping one level. At level 35 and above, it can take two or even three days to level up, resulting in a huge loss!

Moreover, even if these guilds unite, could a mere 30,000 to 40,000 people really defeat tens of thousands of demonized monsters, plus hundreds of demons, and the demon general who has recovered from his weakened state?

I fear that once the war begins, all it would take is for the Demon Commander to lead a few hundred demons in a single charge, and the formation of tens of thousands of people would be thrown into complete chaos.

Some ran away, some scattered, some retreated, some picked up their gear—what's the point of fighting?

"Let's put Ironstone City aside for now and consider other options first." Wang Xing had already made up his mind.

"Thank you, Captain Black Cat. These demons should be enough for me until I reach level 50. Also, how's your investigation into Blood Slaughter going?"

When Wang Xing asked about Blood Butcher, the black cat's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

"Blood Butcher...this guy is amazing! His counter-tracking ability is extremely strong! Our people have been staking out Xuanhe City for several days, but we still haven't found any trace of Blood Butcher. If I'm not mistaken, in reality he's either a retired reconnaissance soldier or a special forces soldier, or...a real assassin! He's used to evading police pursuit, making it very difficult to track him down."

"A retired special forces soldier... an assassin... this Blood Butcher is definitely not an ordinary person. What if he finds out about my real-life background..."

Looking at Wang Xing's pale face, the black cat seemed to guess his worries.

"Are you worried about your safety in the real world? Don't worry, Dragon Leap Residence is not what it used to be. Security and surveillance are under the joint control of our military and police. Even if it were an assassin, or even the Free Nation's Sea Lion Commando Team, we can guarantee your safety!"

Wang Xing blushed slightly, clearly realizing he had been right.

However, upon hearing that Longyueju's security had reached such a standard, Wang Xing was completely relieved.

"Thank you very much! The matter of Blood Slaughter can be postponed for a while, but I still hope you can continue to gather information about the Demon Clan for me. Even after we arrive in the four major cities, please keep an eye out for any trace of the Demon Clan."

"Can."
