the mountain demon exhibited no human traits – its skin was covered in folds, its bodily hair sparse, with a head vaguely reminiscent of an enlarged rat head.
“what sort of realm does this demon belong to?” su nan wondered, his breath hitching in apprehension at the sight of the mountain demon.
having noted the appearance of the mountain demon, su nan dared not linger.
without waiting for the mountain demon to speak again, he used an unrestricted opportunity to immediately exit the game.
“eh? it disappeared?”
witnessing su nan’s sudden disappearance, the mountain demon issued a surprised sound, its eyes flashing with thought.
“1 hope i won’t be corpse-camped!”
back in his room, su nan climbed out of the game warehouse.
his choice this time was somewhat risky.
with explicit instructions from the twelve demon emperors, demons know now to wait where a player used to log out of the game in order to catch them again.
if the mountain demon was indeed guarding his logout location, this would
spell trouble.
to be safe, su nan waited a full half-hour before logging back into the game.
reappearing in the game’s mountain forest,
he was relieved to an environment free of the mountain demon.
assured of his safety, he promptly transformed his appearance into that of the mountain demon, and then initiated his foreknowledge.
“i can only gauge if i could escape based on this foreknowledge.”
[you have taken on the appearance of a mountain demon, attempting to leave
the gorge.)
[you swiftly set off beyond the gorge, only to encounter another mountain
demon after a few breaths.]
[the sight of you left the mountain demon befuddled before it flew into a rage and swiped at you.)
[you are dead!)
[before your death, you realized taking the form of a mountain demon was futile as their clan could tell that you don’t belong.)
from initiation to conclusion, his foreknowledge ended in death before a breath’s time.
“it didn’t work!” su nan was disheartened.
without wasting any more time, he quickly transformed back into another demon and hurriedly retreated.
the retreat process went smoothly and didn’t attract the mountain demon. this left su nan perplexed as to how the mountain demon discerned whether he was leaving the gorge or returning.
having reached the three-way junction outside the prison, su nan transformed back into the wolf demon guard.
“it seems practically impossible to escape from sky wolf valley under the mountain demons control.”
he sighed, seemingly the only way to leave the sky wolf valley was the explicit exit.
now all he could hope for was to usurp the wolf demon guard’s fate after killing it tomorrow.
“i have six more opportunities left. what should i foresee this time?” he glanced at the task panel. he was now playing the game as zhang yang. after completing the ‘hunt a mortal-level monster’ quest, besides the ‘hunt a spirit-level monster’ task, only ‘explore mysterious cave’ remained on the panel.
he could discard the idea of hunting a spirit-level monster.
even if he wasn’t drained, it would still be quite difficult to kill a spirit-level monster in his prime state.
perhaps if he managed to advance his lightning bug bloodline to great perfection, it may be feasible.
as for the mysterious cave, it was the same.
