90: Day 20 [deleted many parts]

The Shadow Demon’s tone was filled with malice; it naturally wouldn't agree to humans joining its forces.

Just as it was about to attack Li Ye, the aura emanating from Li Ye suddenly made the Shadow Demon freeze in place.

Because it felt an incomparably powerful aura on Li Ye, coupled with a sense of killing intent…

“How can a mere Foundation Establishment Stage human be so strong?”

The Shadow Demon muttered in its heart.

However, it quickly composed itself and then said in a slightly deep voice:

“Human, why would you join our Shadow Demon Clan?”

Li Ye naturally wouldn’t tell it that he had a mission.

Instead, he directly said:

“You don’t need to know that; you only need to know that we will be of help to you.”

Li Ye also didn’t know if saying this would arouse the Shadow Demon’s apprehension.

The Shadow Demon’s dark eyes were filled with depth, and no one knew what it was thinking.

Suddenly, it said in an inexplicable tone:

“You are here because of Lord Blood Shadow Demon, aren’t you?”

Li Ye’s eyes narrowed.

“Don’t worry, our Shadow Demon Clan is also an enemy of Lord Blood Shadow Demon. Come with me, human.”

After the Shadow Demon finished speaking, it led Li Ye deeper inside.

During this time, Li Ye and the others saw various Shadow Demons. Some were male, incredibly tall and appeared extremely ferocious.

Some were female, but their figures were dark and curvaceous, quite well-endowed.

They all looked at Li Ye with unfriendly eyes.

Subsequently, the Shadow Demon arranged a dwelling for Li Ye.

This was a relatively large courtyard.

“This will be your territory.”

After the Shadow Demon finished speaking, it left.

And everyone fell silent.

“Husband, what should we do now?”

Xiao Luolin asked worriedly, holding Li Ye’s arm.

“No rush. With Li Qinghuan, our combat power is fearless below the Nascent Soul Realm. Even if there are terrifying Nascent Soul demons, with me and Qinghuan, we can hold them off. The most important thing now is to survive the pursuit of the Blood Shadow Demon…”

At this moment, Li Ye somewhat regretted not bringing Xiao Yan.

However, Xiao Yan’s combat power was neither high nor low.

Just as everyone was waiting, Solomon, carrying a black scythe, arrived.

She exuded a sharp aura, looking very powerful.

But don’t misunderstand, this power was in comparison to other players. In Li Ye’s eyes, she and Xiao Yan were actually just minor characters.

Li Ye was quite surprised by Luo Yao’s arrival.

“Luo Yao, how did you get here?”

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Luo Yao’s delicate face.

“Because I have Divine Abilities related to Cultivating demons, I can communicate with them.”

Upon hearing this, Li Ye secretly thought, ‘As expected.’

If only he could communicate, how would other players play?

But for sure, most people couldn’t communicate with demons.

…

Time flew by, and most players had chosen to side with either the Blood Ghost Clan or the Shadow Demon Clan.

Those who hadn’t joined either faction were anxious. They weren’t foolish; they knew that if they didn’t complete this side quest, the main quest might not be completable.

Time slowly passed. In the evening, Li Ye and the others played in the arena.

And Li Ye and Xiao Luolin occupied a room and spent a wonderful night.

The next morning, the rewards arrived as scheduled.

[Day 20 of Survival, Goddesses Met: 7]

[Reward 1: Obtain Earth Rank Low Grade Spiritual Artifact, Overlord Spear.]

[Reward 2: Nine Yin Charming Eyes cooldown reduced from seven days to two days.]

[Reward 3: Obtain one hundred points of Sword Intent.]

[Reward 4: Xiao Luolin’s chewed gum.]

[Reward 5: Obtain Physique: Yin Yang Dao Body, greatly increasing Spiritual Qi quality and greatly increasing Spiritual Qi recovery frequency.]

[Reward 6: ObtainStrange Fire Phoenix True Flame.]

[Reward 7: Two Low-Grade Spirit Stones] [Redacted]

[Reward 8: Fire Dragon Art upgraded from Minor Achievement to Major Achievement.]

[Reward 9: Obtain a Gold Spiritual Root.

Note: This will increase Cultivation difficulty, choose carefully…]

The rewards for the twentieth day were not very abundant. Li Ye looked at them and fell silent.

Reward 9 definitely couldn’t be chosen.

Now, breaking through to the Golden Core with three Spiritual Roots was already so difficult. If he chose Reward 9, would he even be able to play anymore?

He would only consider increasing his Spiritual Roots when he no longer had to worry about resources in the future, or when his Realm was higher.

But…

Rewards 4 and 5 were also very strange, weren’t they!?

For the first time, Li Ye wanted to abandon three rewards.

“Don’t choose Reward 9 and Reward 4.”

Compared to chewing gum, it was indeed… more acceptable.

At this moment, in the great area, Changye Sect, Xiao Yan, who was getting up early to prepare for Cultivation, suddenly felt a chill in her lower body…

????

[Redacted]

Her delicate face flushed red with anger…

“Damn it… Where are my panties!?!?”

Outside the door, Liu Xiaoxue yawned and walked in. She had a Cultivation problem she didn’t quite understand, but upon seeing the scene before her, Liu Xiaoxue’s pupils constricted slightly, and her nose immediately started bleeding.

However, very quickly, Liu Xiaoxue was thrown out by the enraged Xiao Yan…

…

With the System’s reward, a long spear of purple and red appeared in Li Ye’s hand.

At the same time, a surge of Sword Intent erupted around him. Rong Qingqing, beside him, widened her beautiful eyes and stared intently at Li Ye, looking very shocked.

And the surrounding Spiritual Qi continuously circulated and was absorbed by Li Ye’s body.

This was due to the powerful Yin Yang Dao Body constantly absorbing the surrounding Spiritual Qi.

Even the dark Spiritual Qi on Yan Xiaoji and Luo Yao’s bodies was absorbed by Li Ye’s body.

However, this did not cause much harm to Li Ye’s body.

The Yin Yang Dao Body purified the corrupted Spiritual Qi filled with evil Qi.

“Not bad. With this Spiritual Qi absorption speed, I can even fight a Golden Core Peak expert.”

Li Ye said excitedly.

However, the next moment, in front of everyone… [Redacted]

He accepted it without changing his expression.

…

Unlike Li Ye’s side, some players who hadn’t joined a faction were subjected to the Blood Shadow Demon’s purge.

At this moment, a female player dressed lightly was hiding in a small cave.

“Hmph, these players are really stupid. I told them all they needed to do was survive, why did they choose to complete this side quest? Isn’t that just asking for trouble?”

However, the next moment, just as she was speaking ill of others, a scarlet claw pierced through her heart…
