the consumption of 40 points of demon power left him with only 1 point again, a severe dip from his original abundance.
and his speed increased by more than double compared to before!
although the strength increase wasn’t as obvious as when he integrated the iron ape bloodline or the mountain elephant bloodline, he still managed to enhance his strength by several hundred pounds.
if he were to confront his former self now, he could easily defeat him.
walking on the rugged mountain road, su nan suddenly exerted force underneath his feet.
the next moment, his figure streaked across leaving an afterimage, reappear ten meters away.
this was the bloodline combat skill of the wind leopard bloodline, the windstep.
“now, when i face that demon at warm moon pond, i should at least not be totally helpless.”
with four different bloodlines enhancing him, his strength had surpassed the average mortal-level demon.
according to his previous foreknowledge, although the demon at warm moon pond was at the spirit level, it was considered to be among the weaker ones, and nowhere near as strong as the wolf demon guard. the only advantage it had over the wolf demon guard was its better stealth ability.
if his strength were to continue to increase, he might be able to hold his ground against it.
“let’s complete the task of exploring the moonwatching peak first, then we could meet that demon.”
pulling out the old beastskin map, su nan started walking towards the moonwatching peak.
moonwatching peak was as equally distant from thousand wolf cave. he needed to get there if he wanted to use his foreknowledge; otherwise, the three-minute foresight would all be wasted on the road.
the path to moonwatching peak, quite unlike the deserted one to warm moon pond, was broad and he encountered many other wolf demons along the way. every once in a while, he could even see a sentry post.
seeing this, su nan didn’t get nervous, but instead, breathed a sigh of relief.
it meant that for the demons of skywolf clan, moonwatching peak wasn’t a dangerous place.
as long as he wasn’t discovered to be a fake, issues should not arise.
however, what he didn’t expect was that they didn’t get far before being stopped by two demons guarding one of the sentry posts.
su nan’s heart skipped a beat, as this was the first time he had been stopped since pretending to be a wolf demon guard and escaping from kun tian prison.
he didn’t initiate the conversation, but waited for the two wolf demons to speak first, as it was the safest way.
one of the demons inquired, “i’ve never seen you before? where is your identity token?”
the wolf demon guard he had pretended to be had never come here before?
su nan’s heart skipped a beat again, not saying much, he just handed over the identity token.
the two demons glanced at su nan’s identity token and said, “you’re not a miner from the mine. this isn’t a place for you. please leave immediately.” there is a mine up ahead?
what kind of ore could a demon mine?
two thoughts flickered, su nan was curious.
however, he didn’t say much, and turned around to leave directly.
a moment later, he circled back again.
this time he had transformed into the appearance of another wolf demon.
this was the appearance of a wolf demon that had left moonwatching peak not too long ago.
this move could potentially expose him, but apart from this, he didn’t have a better approach.
fortunately, when he passed the sentry post again, the two demons didn’t stop him.
continuing forward for a few more minutes, he finally reached an uphill section of the road.
from here, the so-called moonwatching peak was only half a minute away.
he could use his foreknowledge now.
without stopping, su nan continued to walk forward while simultaneously initiating his foreknowledge.
[you find out that moonwatching peak is in fact a mine for the demons and intrigued, you decide to investigate.]
[upon arriving at moonwatching peak, you are taken aback to find that this is not a mine in the conventional sense. the “ore” they are mining is in fact the skeletons of demons!]
[hundreds of demons are digging through the mine, occasionally unearthing the remains of other demons. these skeletons are decayed and broken, bearing the traces of time, they had been buried underground for who knows how many years.]
[you finally realize that the wolf demon guard you had impersonated earlier was not simply collecting bones, these demon skeletons may have a purpose you’re not aware of.]
“these demon skeletons were actually dug up from here!” su nan expressed his surprise.
