Chapter 49 - Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Thousand Wolf Cave (2/2)

[you continued searching through the animal hides and found another clue.]

[compared to the skeletons, these animal hides were much fresher, seemingly collected from demons recently. it raised suspicion whether these demon hides were left behind from the demons in the prison cell after their strength had been drained.]

[as you searched through the animal hides, suddenly, an obviously ancient animal hide caught your attention. the hide’s surface was severely yellowed from its unknown age, and you could no longer discern which demon it had belonged to.]

[you discovered that on this animal hide, there were clearly drawn lines and patterns, amongst which a part of the pattern was very familiar to you. carefully discerning, you were pleasantly surprised to find that it was a map!] [congratulations, you’ve discovered a topographic map of sky wolf valley.] “a map?” su nan was overjoyed, not expecting the wolf demon to give him such a generous gift.

with a topographic map of sky wolf valley, it would be even easier for him to escape from here.

the foreknowledge information in the panel ended here.

since it was determined to be safe, su nan immediately headed towards cave number 102.

he entered the cave smoothly.

as expected from the foreknowledge, there were many skeletons in the cave.

su nan found the map among a pile of animal hides.

indeed, the moment he saw the map, he felt a familiarity with some parts of it because he had been on that route before.

from the map, it could be seen that the demon gathering place they were in was at the center.

this place was marked as thousand wolf cave.

centered around thousand wolf cave, there were four mountain roads extending in four different directions.

one of the roads’ destinations was marked as “warm moon pond.”

from the map, there was a huge waterfall there, and warm moon pond was formed under the waterfall.

this location was circled in red, but the meaning behind it was unclear.

with thousand wolf cave as the center, the other two roads led to moonwatching peak and purple leaf forest.

from the map, one place was a mountain peak while the other was a forest, but it was unclear what purposes they served.

the last road was the one he had taken before.

the destination of that road was clearly marked on the map as kun tian prison.

from kun tian prison, there were two other roads; one drew half its length and disappeared. su nan knew that was the cliff.

the other road led to the top of the gorge.

indeed, that was the road to leave the gorge, which could be clearly seen on the map.

“looking at the map, there’s only one road to leave the gorge!” su nan’s face grew solemn.

he had been watched by powerful demons when he took that road before.

trying to leave via that road might be difficult.

of course, he could also choose to forge his own path, not following the existing roads and traveling through the mountain forests instead.

however, doing so would likely increase the danger level significantly. whether this method was viable or not required exploration.

“there are many demons in this thousand wolf cave, but they seem to have little communication with each other and just stick to their jobs. this is extremely beneficial for me, at least i don’t have to worry about exposing flaws too quickly.”

“for now, i’ll stay here pretending to be the wolf demon guard, and then slowly look for a way to leave.”

su nan made a plan for himself.

from the looks of it, impersonating the wolf demon was still relatively safe for him, as no demons saw through his disguise. this was undoubtedly a good start.

once he was sure the area was safe, su nan took out the bloodlines and demon sutra he had received earlier..
