40: Kill demons with flying knives and grab heads!

“You mean, find a way to kill him?”

“Yes!”

Mu Qianshan nodded firmly.

Although it was very difficult, his father had taught him from a young age that wealth is found in danger!

This was clearly an opportunity.

According to the Dongtian Simulation League, killing a Xuanxiao Stage demon would definitely yield great rewards.

Coupled with the fact that they had just dug up something, Mu Qianshan was even more certain.

Even if the worst came to worst, as long as they could kill the Jin Xing Tree Demon, they would definitely be noticed by the admissions teachers of various universities.

He didn't care, but Jiang Yuan and Zhou Dongshan obviously needed this very much.

Furthermore, the number of Dream Tower floors he and Jiang Yuan cleared, to some extent, also indicated that their combat power was not that of the Star Epoch Middle Stage.

“Let me think.”

Jiang Yuan frowned, sat down cross-legged on the ground.

Kill the Jin Xing Tree Demon?

To be honest, they really wanted those one hundred points.

It was already getting late, and the first day had passed.

Although he didn't know how many points the team that killed those five people got.

But by calculation, the points they earned today averaged only fifty to sixty points per person.

At this rate, three days would only yield one hundred and fifty points.

But it was important to know that they had been fighting almost non-stop all day today.

All of this was predicated on having enough demons.

What if they didn't encounter so many demons later?

What would they do then?

If they went to kill the Jin Xing Tree Demon, each person would get more than thirty points.

It didn't seem like a loss, but how could they kill the Jin Xing Tree Demon?

A Xuanxiao Stage Jin Xing Tree Demon was indeed a very powerful opponent for them.

So powerful that Jiang Yuan didn't intend to confront it head-on at first, but instead turned and ran.

“I don’t feel too good about it.”

In the end, Jiang Yuan still shook his head under the expectant gazes of Mu Qianshan and Zhou Dongshan.

“The gain is not proportional to the effort; too much effort is required, and the uncertainty is too high.”

Jiang Yuan shook his head slightly, and Mu Qianshan and Zhou Dongshan were also stunned.

“These one hundred points look like a lot, but divided among the three of us, it’s just over thirty points per person.”

Jiang Yuan looked up at the two: “Is it difficult to get thirty points in one day?”

The two fell silent.

Roughly calculating, not counting the five-person team they had just killed, their gains for the day were already fifty to sixty points per person.

Looking at it this way, going after the Jin Xing Tree Demon indeed had no meaning.

“Alright then.”

After understanding, Mu Qianshan also breathed a sigh of relief, a brilliant smile appearing on his face: “It’s a bit regrettable that I didn’t try the Demon-Slaying Flying Knife; I should have used it directly just now.”

“It is a pity, but I imagine there isn’t just one Xuanxiao Stage demon in Dongtian Simulation.”

Jiang Yuan spread his hands: “At worst, we’ll try again when we encounter another Xuanxiao Stage demon that we can safely deal with.”

“That works too.”

“Boom!”

As soon as Mu Qianshan finished speaking, an explosion suddenly came from the forest, startling everyone.

“How many of your maps did you release?”

In the monitoring room, seeing the dozens of people attacking the Jin Xing Tree Demon on the screen, the Mayor turned to the red-faced middle-aged man in surprise and asked.

“Uh, just a few dozen.”

The red-faced middle-aged man rubbed his nose, a bit embarrassed.

He hadn't expected those dozens of maps to actually form a small alliance.

He had clearly intended to gather some Students and then let them fight among themselves here to eliminate some people.

But the result was...

“You really outdid yourself.”

The Mayor was also a bit speechless, and after glancing at the red-faced middle-aged man, he looked back at the screen.

Having been watching Jiang Yuan and the others, the Mayor hadn't noticed what had just happened.

However, though he hadn't noticed, someone next to him explained.

“Three teams obtained maps, and when they gathered here, two teams met acquaintances, and then acquaintances met acquaintances, and that’s how, in the end, several teams merged together.”

“What a coincidence…”

“Not very coincidental, because all the maps are the same, so they could only gather here.”

“All the same…”

The Mayor was speechless, turning to look at the red-faced middle-aged man who was looking up at the ceiling.

“It’s to attract attention, right?”

“That’s right.”

The chubby Deputy Mayor next to him nodded: “But obviously, they succeeded.”

“With so many people, perhaps only a few outstanding ones will be remembered.”

“As long as there are results, it’s fine.”

The Mayor waved his hand, and then suddenly discovered a familiar figure in the corner of the battlefield.

“Hey, this is getting interesting now.”

The Mayor subconsciously glanced at a screen next to him and then chuckled.

“Weren’t they just about to give up? How did they sneak back?”

The Mayor smiled; the people who snuck back were none other than Jiang Yuan and his companions.

After the explosion, Jiang Yuan and the others quickly determined that the explosion occurred near the Jin Xing Tree Demon.

So, after some thought, Jiang Yuan and his group decided to come back and take a look.

However, as soon as they returned, they saw a scene like a guild fighting a boss in an online game.

Thirty to forty people were distributed around the Jin Xing Tree Demon.

Some were tanking damage, attracting the Jin Xing Tree Demon's attention, some were attacking, and some were providing buffs. Although their coordination wasn't perfect, the Jin Xing Tree Demon obviously couldn't kill them all in a short time.

If they slowly wore it down, they might actually succeed.

“The explosion just now, should it be the Jin Xing Tree Demon’s skill?” Mu Qianshan asked, looking at a large pit not far from the Jin Xing Tree Demon.

“Possibly.”

The Jin Xing Tree Demon had three Skill Cards.

One could change the material of branches to wood or metal (Rooting was also one of the effects of this skill).

One was Tree Demon Clone, which could summon a Jin Xing Tree Demon one stage lower than itself.

And another was Exploding Fruit.

The explosion just now should have been caused by [Exploding Fruit].

But it should have been the most powerful [Exploding Fruit].

The explosion of a Tree Demon Clone!

He just didn't know how many Students were taken out by this explosion.

“I know that guy, that’s the boss of City Six High!” Mu Qianshan suddenly pointed at a young man wielding a large saber, continuously attacking the Jin Xing Tree Demon, and said.

“Boss?”

Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then remembered that this was a nickname for that guy.

Jiang Yuan had also heard this nickname.

Besides being the strongest person in Six High, he was also a social butterfly.

He knew many people, which is why everyone called him the boss.

“We’re almost there, everyone, put in more effort!”

Watching another companion disappear after being pierced by a branch, the boss, Sun Jiajiang, roared as he chopped his large saber towards the Jin Xing Tree Demon.

The Jin Xing Tree Demon was indeed failing; its main body was already covered in wounds, and only one branch remained for attacking.

All the fruits on its crown used for explosions were gone too.

“Shall I try?”

Seeing this, Mu Qianshan also eagerly took out the [Demon-Slaying Flying Knife].

He wanted to test whether the [Demon-Slaying Flying Knife]'s major realm meant the same realm, or if it could cross realms.

At the same time, he also wanted to see if he could snatch the prize from under their noses!
