Chapter 56 - Chapter 56: Chapter 55: Mountain Demon (2/2)

“the mountain demon again! i wasn’t even targeted by the forest demons this time, so how did it find me?”

su nan found it strange that he had been discovered this time, unlike the previous two times.

unwilling to believe it, he changed his position and predicted again.

[you find a new location that you believe is suitable for leaving and prepare to escape from sky wolf valley.]

[as soon as you enter the mountain forest, you are once again targeted by a demon hidden in the woods. they launch an attack on you.]

[just as you are about to leave the gorge, you are discovered by the mountain demon.]

[the mountain demon stops and questions you about why you want to leave the gorge.]

[you do not know how to answer, and the mountain demon suddenly makes a move against you.]

[you die.]

he was killed by the mountain demon for the fourth time, and just like last time, he was discovered when he was about to leave.

“where did the problem come from? can it be that the mountain demon can notice whenever a demon is about to leave the gorge?” su nan couldn’t help but speculate.

this was the worst possibility.

if this was true, his only option to leave the gorge would be to take the path that leads out of it.

unfortunately, his foreknowledge time is too short, otherwise he would have liked to predict what would happen on that path.

after all, he was targeted by an unknown demon last time but didn’t die from it.

of course, he could risk going there in person and, if he detected any problems, use the unlimited logout opportunity to leave immediately.

however, if a demon were guarding there, things would get difficult.

he didn’t want to gamble.

today he still had two more chances to predict, but su nan didn’t want to continue predicting his escape from the gorge.

he decided to go and check out warm moon pond.

there were suspected wolf monster skeletons beneath the pond, and his latest prediction at moonwatching peak made him curious about those skeletons.

he wanted to find out what was so peculiar about those skeletons.

about ten minutes later.

he came back to the place where he made his prediction yesterday.

“it’s best if the demon from yesterday isn’t here, but if it’s still here, i should be able to avoid an attack today.”

su nan had a thought and used boneshifting, changing his appearance into that of another wolf monster.

yesterday’s two predictions stated he was targeted by the demon because the wolf monster he disguised himself as had injured the demon before.

today, he planned to change his appearance to see if he would still be attacked.

[you change your appearance and return to warm moon pond. looking at the deep lake water, you prepare to dive and explore its depths.]

[however, before you can dive into the water, a demon has already set its sights on you, attacking without warning.]

[you are well-prepared and use your bloodline combat skill windstep in time to successfully avoid the attack.]

just as the prediction began, yesterday’s demon had appeared again, and even though su nan had turned into another monster, he was still attacked.

fortunately, everything went as he expected, and his bloodline combat skill helped him avoid the attack.

[the demon doesn’t give up and plans to attack you again. you react quickly, turning around and diving into the lake water.]

[the lake is deep, and you continue to dive towards the bottom, until you reach it after two or three breaths.]

[you see that at the bottom of the lake, numerous skeletons are buried in the silt, varying in size and species, and it is unknown what kind of demons they belong to.]

[you try to pick up a skeleton to examine it closely. you find that this skeleton is not much different from ordinary ones and has no special features.]

[you do not realize that although these skeletons look ordinary, they are far from it. their existence can be traced back to ancient times.]

[unwilling to give up, you continue searching in the lake, but other than skeletons, you find nothing else.]

[disappointed, you resurface.]

[the moment you leave the water and step ashore, a demon that has been waiting for an opportunity attacks you once more. you fail to avoid this strike, and the demon severely wounds you.]

[enraged, you engage in battle with the demon.]

[after a short fight, you, who have been severely injured, eventually lose to the demon.]

[you die.]

“ancient times? those skeletons are actually from ancient times!”

su nan was killed by the demon, but his attention wasn’t on the demon but rather on the origin of the skeletons that had shocked him..
