Chapter 48: Chapter 48, 3 Paths

Translator: 549690339 |

[You look around and find yourself on an exceptionally massive canyon cliff, surrounded by ancient trees growing on the cliffs. In front of you are three rugged mountain paths.]

[The three paths lead in three different directions, the first one on the left seemingly extends upward along the gorge, the second one in the middle extends downward, and the third one on the right extends forward, its destination unknown.]

[After a brief hesitation, you decide to take the first path on the left, which seems to lead out of the gorge.]

[Unknown to you, as you take the first step on the path, a demon beast’s gaze penetrates the obstacles and watches you from the end of the path.]

[You carefully walk forward…]

Foreknowledge time ends.

In the end, Su Nan does not reach the end of the path, nor does he die.

But he isn’t too pleased either.

“Although I didn’t die in the end, being targeted by some unknown demon beast definitely isn’t a good thing.”

Su Nan takes a deep breath, prepared for this kind of situation.

Zhou Lingyin has said that the location of Kun Tian Prison lies in Sky Wolf Valley, which is the territory of the Sky Wolf Demon Clan.

It can be confirmed that there are definitely a large number of Skywolf Clan demon beasts in this gorge.

But now he disguising himself as a demon beast, as long as he’s careful not to be exposed by a powerful demon beast, it should still be relatively safe.

“The left path has a big hidden danger, as soon as I set foot on it, I was watched. Next time, let’s try the middle path.”

Not knowing which path the real Wolf Demons take daily, he can only try them one by one.

Not in a hurry to leave the prison, he decides to use foresight again.

A minute later, Su Nan begins his second foresight of the day.

[Once again at the crossroads, this time you decide to choose the second path leading downwards into the gorge.]

[The mountain path is rugged and slopes, you quickly descend, the silence along the way is eerie, aside from your own breathing and the scraping sound of the gravel beneath your feet, you can’t hear any other sounds, as if this is a path leading to the abyss.]

[After dozens of breaths, you suddenly realize that you have come to the end of the road, and there is a sudden break in the cliff ahead of you.]

[You carefully peer down, and all you can see is a haze of fog.]

[As you try to take a closer look, suddenly a white shadow leaps out from the side of the woods with incredible speed, giving you no time to react.]

[You don’t know what kind of demon beast the white shadow is, but it bites your neck and pulls you down the cliff with tremendous strength.]

[You are dead!]

[Just before you die, you vaguely see that the demon beast’s exposed bones are stark white, and you realize that this path is absolutely impassable!]

Absolutely impassable?

“This path is also a dead end, so now there’s only the third path left. It can’t be that the last path is also a dead end, right?”

Su Nan takes a deep breath, the excitement of finally leaving the prison gradually subsiding after the two foresights.

Leaving here won’t be safe, but rather, it means entering another dangerous situation.

Luckily, this death at least tells him that the second path ends at a cliff, and there is also a powerful demon beast present.

Of the three routes, only the third path is left, and it should be the right one by reasoning.

To be safe, Su Nan decides to use foresight once more.

After all, what if only the first path is relatively safer, and the last two paths are both dead ends? This is not impossible.

In the first path, he was watched by a demon beast but did not die.

[Once again at the crossroads, this time you choose the third path, not knowing where it leads.]

[You walk quickly forward, hoping to reach the end soon.]

[A minute later, you notice a sentry post on the side of the path ahead, two wolf demons on guard notice you, but ignoring you, you also pretend as if nothing has happened and continue forward.]

[Two minutes later, you discover another sentry post. The wolf demons on guard still don’t pay any attention to you, so you keep going.] His foresight does not provide any further information after this point.

It takes two minutes to reach that point of the path and it takes another minute to leave the prison – a total of three minutes, and he doesn’t die during the foresight.

“The third path is the right one.”

Su Nan finally exhales a sigh of relief. Since the two groups of guard demons on the path didn’t bother him, it’s already evident that this is the right path. If not, the first group of guards would most likely have stopped him instead. Without any more hesitation, he followed the scenarios in his foreknowledge and headed towards the outside of the prison.

When he passed the stone door at the exit, the stone statue demon guarding it indeed glanced at him and confirmed his identity before ignoring him. Upon exiting the stone door, his eyes were suddenly greeted with a vast cave space.

There were more than ten demons in the cave, each wearing armor, giving Su Nan a strong feeling of their immense power, far from ordinary demons. They might be the actual prison guards.

Compared to these demons, the Wolf Demon that Su Nan disguised as might just be a lowly servant.

Su Nan tried his best to act as naturally as possible and left the cave without haste.

Finally, he saw the three-way fork in the road.

At the same time, the task completion prompt popped up. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝑒𝓌𝑒𝒷𝘯ℴ𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

[Congratulations, you have completed the first phase of the Main Quest

“Demon Crisis.” Do you want to receive the rewards now?]

“Receive.”

As Su Nan walked towards the third path, he looked at the panel. [Congratulations, you have obtained a Mortal-Level Bloodline] [Congratulations, you have obtained a Mortal-Level Demon Sutra] [Congratulations, you have gained 15 Demon Power Points] [The second phase of the Main Quest has been activated, please check the task list.]

The bloodline and Demon Sutra were issued in physical form, and he was close to the prison entrance now, so it was not the right time to check the bloodline and sutra.

He could only bring up the task panel and check the main quest.

[Main Quest: Demon Crisis]

[Second Phase of the Quest: Escape Sky Wolf Valley]

[Task Difficulty: Three stars]

[Task Reward: Mortal-Level Bloodline, Mortal-Level Demon Sutra, 15 Demon Points.]

Escape Sky Wolf Valley!

Another three-star task!

This clearly told him that the danger here was no less than in Kun Tian Prison. “This task might be difficult for others, but it should be slightly easier for me.” Su Nan wasn’t too worried. After all, he was a demon now. As long as his identity was not exposed, everything else could be carefully planned step by step.

He continued forward while operating the Life Wheel Scripture to switch his role to Zhang Yang’s state.

Almost the instant the panel switched, the task completion prompt appeared. [Congratulations, you have completed the daily task “Escape the Cell.” 15 Demon Points have been awarded.]

[Currently Usable Demon Power: 31 points.]

Another 15 Demon Points credited, Su Nan’s eyes flashed with excitement.

With the two daily tasks of hunting Mortal-level demons completed not long ago, he earned 40 Demon Points today!

This was simply outrageous.

If other players knew about this, they would certainly report him for cheating. Following the mountain path, he soon encountered the first sentry post, guarded by wolf-headed humanoid Wolf Demons.

The two demon beasts merely glanced at him and ignored him, while Su Nan also paid no attention to the two demons.

This path was very long, and he walked for a full five minutes, encountering four sentry posts without any accidents.

It wasn’t until he encountered the fifth sentry post that he finally saw a change in the scenery ahead.

A gigantic cliff at a 45-degree angle loomed before him, and on the cliff, there was a cave at regular intervals.

Dozens of ladder-like mountain paths connected these caves, ending up converging on the small path underneath Su Nan’s feet.

He could see that Wolf Demons were occasionally coming in and out of those caves.

Su Nan was stunned and then realized that he had arrived at the Wolf Demon Lair!

At the same time, he thought of another question – which one of these caves was his?
