Chapter 76: Strange Abilities
"Is there such a possibility?" At this time, Chen Yao's face was heavy, and he slowly said: "The reason why the demons don't kill humans is to keep them captive and use them as blood food."
"That makes some sense." Zhang Hu touched his chin, agreeing somewhat.
"It's possible. But it's unlikely."
Wang Ping shook his head and spoke.
"If the demons wanted to keep humans in captivity and use them as food for sustainable development, they should have wiped out all of humanity's Taoist priests and made humans completely lose the ability to resist. However, they did not do that."
"Maybe it's impossible... Or maybe the demons themselves are not on good terms with each other, they don't trust each other, and they're even wary of each other."
Cai Yonglong also expressed his new guess.
"It is certain that demons are not harmonious with each other. Even if they are from the same tribe, they cannot be completely harmonious. Humans cannot do that, let alone demons. However, if they can destroy the human Taoist priests, their interests will be the same. It will be more beneficial for them to destroy the humans first, which is enough for them to temporarily put aside their conflicts and will definitely unite to face the outside world. However, they did not do so, so the possibility of the previous speculation is not very high."
Wang Ping shook his head and expressed his own opinion.
Everyone nodded, thinking it made sense.
"No matter what the situation is, I only need to use my ability once more to find out."
Wang Ping breathed a sigh of relief, and after saying this, he closed his eyes.
Seeing this, everyone fell silent, knowing that Wang Ping was going to continue using his ability to 'predict the future'.
…
"System, I want a free simulation."
Wang Ping said in his heart.
"Ding, the life simulator is activated. The host has eight free simulations left."
The system 's voice sounded, and the familiar light blue screen appeared in front of him again.
Then, words emerged.
[On the first day, the top leaders of Xuan Nation held a meeting and finally decided to trust you temporarily. However, because you did not reveal your full strength this time, they did not fully cooperate with your plan. You did not care about this.]
[In the following days, you hunted demons and showed your powerful strength. Commander-level demons died in your hands one after another. You even killed a demon king.]
[This caused a sensation around the world and shocked the world. ]
[Next, you continued to hunt powerful demons just as you remembered. However, unlike in your memory, the strength you displayed was not overwhelming. When dealing with the high-level demon king, you did not perform easily, but you still managed to kill it in the end.]
[However, your strength and achievements have won the respect of all Taoists and the praise of all mankind. At the same time, powerful Taoist masters and Taoist priests are also discussing whether to join forces with you to eliminate the remaining demon kings. ]
[Some people agree, some people disagree. Opponents believe that if a full-scale war is launched, the demons will definitely be furious. At that time, the situation of mankind will be very dangerous. After all, the demon kings in the world today are only a small part, and there are more terrifying demons that have not yet been born. ]
[These words made everyone else silent. If the demons were completely angered, the consequences would be disastrous. Even that mysterious existence might not be able to appease the demons.]
[For a moment, the human leaders could only sigh and remain silent, not planning to rush to your aid. You killed the demon king, which relieved the huge pressure on them, but it did not solve the fundamental problem. If the demons were furious, and they did not take action, they could let you outsiders take the blame, eliminate the demons' anger, and thus save themselves.]
…
Seeing this, Wang Ping narrowed his eyes and his expression became much colder.
The human leaders really knew about the existence of that mysterious guy.
Moreover, we also know that it was the other party who appeased the demons and thus prevented humanity from being destroyed by the demons.
Obviously, the people in this world did not trust them and would never reveal this matter.
Of course, this is understandable.
After all, who would believe a time traveler who suddenly appeared?
"You may not trust us, but we came to this world to help you slay demons and solve your problems. However, you want to sell us out before we even get to that point. How dare you."
Wang Ping had a grim expression and smiled coldly.
Originally, Wang Ping wanted to kill as many powerful demons in this world as possible while completing the task, so that the world can return to peace.
Now it seems that there is no need for him to do so.
Everything is based on completing the mission. Kill the demon king. If the mission requires it, then kill him.
If the mission does not require it, then be considerate and make the number of strong humans equal to that of demons, and let them fight to the death.
Seeing Wang Ping's expression change, Chen Yao and others all raised their eyebrows, thinking that something bad might happen in the future, and they couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
[In the following time, you continue to hunt powerful demons. You finally angered all the powerful demons, and they came together to attack you.]
[In this battle, you still hid your strength. On the surface, you fought very hard and were seriously injured. In the end, you had to use Zhang Hu's forbidden magic, Ten Thousand Thunders, to kill all the monsters.]
[Your achievements spread all over the world, shocking and admiring countless people. Everyone praises you and calls you the savior. The powerful monks of the human race are also shocked that you have such means, and they are filled with thoughts.]
[You, on the other hand, are feeling heavy-hearted. Even though you have been acting so hard, that mysterious being still has no intention of taking action. It is really too patient. You know, the plan to lure the snake out of its hole has failed.]
[After thinking about it, you decided to use a more ruthless method to lure that guy out.]
[For this reason, you ignored the opposition of the human leaders and forcibly opened the seal of a demon cave. At that moment, all the terrifying demons ran out, including the demons with the combat power of the Spiritual Sea Realm. You pretended to be defeated, used the Forbidden Spell Scroll·Angel Holy Shield to save your life, and fled the scene.]
[Your behavior has made everyone extremely angry and hate you to the extreme.]
[You remain unmoved, intending to force out that mysterious being. In the end, that mysterious human could no longer sit still, and chose to take action, killing all the powerful demons that escaped from the Demon Cave, and even engaged in a battle with the Demon King of the Spiritual Sea Realm.]
【After seeing the mysterious human come out and fight with the weak Demon King, everyone was surprised and suspicious. Because they also thought of a question, if the mysterious human is so powerful, why does he need to negotiate with the demons? With him around, no demon king dares to act presumptuously. For a moment, the smart people all smelled the smell of conspiracy. 】
[And you also took this opportunity to launch a sneak attack on him. You and he fought fiercely, and you attacked with all your strength. He was shocked and angry, and was severely injured by your attack. He used strange means to escape.]
[You feel heavy in your heart. If you let the other party escape, it will be troublesome to find him next. For a moment, you are extremely eager to find a secret method or spiritual weapon to seal the world or a secret method to track. Otherwise, no matter whether it is a weird zombie or this guy, it is impossible to escape from your hands. ]
[At this time, the Demon King saw you suddenly appear and showed such powerful strength, and his scalp tingled, and he wanted to escape. You ruthlessly flew the sword and killed him.]
[In the end, the world was at peace again. However, the impact of this battle was far from over. The human leaders and powerful Taoist priests were all terrified. They didn't expect you to be so powerful. They even considered selling you out. For a moment, everyone swore that they would never let you know about this.]
[Next, you asked the humans to track down its whereabouts and try to kill it. However, nothing was found.]
[On the 100th day, just as you remembered, a demon cave suddenly rioted, and a powerful demon was born. You were alert and guessed that the reason why the demon cave rioted should be related to that guy. You could guess his general purpose. This guy, when dealing with the Demon King before, looked like he didn't want humans to perish. Now, he took the initiative to release the Demon King in order to use him to deal with you.]
[It can be said that you schemed against him before, and he is now obviously scheming against you. Obviously, he has already decided to disregard the lives of humans. ]
[You are very troubled by this. The enemy is in the dark, and you are in the light. The situation is not good. However, you have to take action. Because if you sit back and do nothing, the Demon King will be able to destroy all mankind. ]
[You finally chose to fight the Demon King. However, this time, you did not fight to the death with the Demon King. You just showed enough strength to warn the Demon King not to act recklessly. At the same time, you also reminded him that he was being plotted against.]
[Finally, the Demon King reached a settlement with you and said that he would not devour humans wantonly.]
[Next, the humans sent heavy troops to guard the remaining three demon-suppressing caves, and used layers of formations to protect them to prevent the mysterious person from breaking the seal.]
[However, all this was in vain. One of the demon-suppressing caves was finally broken. The terrifying demon appeared. And this demon king had no intention of reconciling with humans, and devoured humans wantonly.]
[The other demon king saw this and also tore up the agreement and rushed towards you, wanting to kill you and devour everything about you to become stronger.]
[You can't escape, you can only fight, one against two. In the end, the mysterious man appeared again, and when the battle was fierce, he attacked you, causing you serious injuries. In the end, you were torn into pieces by the two demon kings.]
[Because of your death, this simulation ends...]
…
"He's still dead."
Wang Ping frowned slightly, feeling heavy-hearted.
This mysterious man is really troublesome.
If you fail to kill him in one blow, there will be endless troubles. He is like a poisonous snake, waiting for your weak moment to bite you.
"how?"
Seeing Wang Ping frowning, although everyone already had the answer in their minds, they still couldn't help but ask.
"Death ending."
Wang Ping shook his head and spoke.
“That’s exactly what happened.”
Everyone smiled bitterly.
Then, Wang Ping told the simulation content without any delay.
"The enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light. It's really a headache."
Cai Yonglong sighed.
"The mysterious man has the combat power of the Spiritual Sea Realm, plus the Demon King in the Demon Suppression Cave. To be honest, it's a bit difficult to deal with."
Zhang Hu smiled bitterly.
"It's all our fault that we can't help you. If I also had the combat power of the Spiritual Sea Realm, I could share the pressure with you."
Chen Yao also looked unwilling.
"It's not that easy to achieve the combat power of the Spiritual Sea Realm..."
Zhang Jun sighed.
"No need to be so depressed."
Wang Ping shook his head, still calm.
"Through this simulation, I roughly guessed the purpose of the mysterious man."
"What is the purpose?"
Everyone was shocked and looked over.
"This guy is most likely our mission target, that is, the weirdness attached to humans."
Wang Ping narrowed his eyes and spoke slowly.
"The reason why he doesn't want humans to be exterminated is not because he considers himself a human being just because he is attached to humans. It is probably because the value of human existence is more meaningful than being exterminated. But, what value does the existence of such a weak human being in the world have to him?"
"Well……"
Cai Yonglong, Zhang Hu, Zhang Jun, and Chen Yao all frowned and thought hard.
"At the same time, through the future, I can also analyze why he wants humans, and even more so, why he wants me to kill more demons."
Wang Ping spoke again, his eyes deep.
"Brother Wang, you mean that it would be of great benefit to humans to kill the demons."
Cai Yonglong was shocked and said in a deep voice.
"Specifically, the reason why he becomes stronger so quickly is that he can become stronger by devouring the corpses of demons? If this is true, it can perfectly explain his behavior pattern."
After hearing this, Chen Yao, Zhang Hu and Zhang Jun were cheered up and felt that it made a lot of sense.
"That's partly true, but not completely."
Wang Ping shook his head.
"What's the meaning?"
Cai Yonglong was puzzled.
"He may have become stronger by devouring the corpse of the demon, but it is more likely that as long as the demon dies, he will gain the same power as it. Otherwise, given the characteristics of my skills and my personality of wanting to finish off the demon, the demon will most likely be burned to ashes, so how can it devour its corpse?"
Wang Ping explained with a chuckle.
Although, in the zombie world where Zhang Jun was, he only made one attack.
In fact, he always reminded himself to have the habit of finishing off the enemy and not to let them go just because they looked dead.
The reason why we don’t make the final move in the zombie world is because of the prompt from the chat group system.
Since you know the opponent is dead, there is no need to finish him off.
"Well... in this case, the other party's ability is very likely as Brother Wang speculated."
Zhang Hu stroked his chin and marveled.
"Damn, it's worthy of being called weird. Although this ability is not as good as the rule system, it is strong enough. It is definitely the ability that casual people want most. I can become stronger just by lying down."
"That's not right. If he could gain the same power through the death of a demon, with his strength, he could have done it himself. Why would he need to protect humans and make so much trouble?"
Cai Yonglong frowned and raised a question again.
This kind of ability is much more perverted than becoming stronger by killing people, so there is no need for such complicated calculations.
"This brings us to the limitations of his abilities. I guess he can't become stronger by killing monsters on his own. Or, the power he gains won't be too much. So, he needs to plan carefully."
Wang Ping narrowed his eyes and spoke slowly.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's pupils narrowed slightly and their hearts were in turmoil.
Indeed, if this is the case, the other party's behavior patterns can all be explained.
"Of course, I thought of another possibility."
At this time, Wang Ping spoke again, which surprised everyone again.
