[You jump into the lake water, smoothly entering the cave. Four branches leading to different directions appear before your eyes again.]
[This time, you do not choose the first cave on the right.]
[Unlike the other two caves, this one is not spacious but rather narrow. You struggle to move forward in the cave.]
[After several breaths, the view in front of you suddenly opens up, revealing six forks leading in different directions. You choose the cave on the far right.]
[There are few skeletons in this cave. You walk for several breaths before encountering the second fork. This time you choose the cave on the left.]
[There are even fewer skeletons in this cave. After only a few breaths, you suddenly realize there is no way forward. Helplessly, you can only go back.]
[You realize that perhaps only by choosing the caves with more skeletons can you enter the central region of these caves.]
[You return to the previous fork, this time choosing the third cave on the left. This cave has relatively more skeletons.]
[You quickly move forward to explore, suddenly, a figure leaps out from around the corner.]
[You died.]
Not at all surprised by being killed by an unknown demon again, Su Nan sighed.
“There are too many forks in the caves here, leading in all directions. It’s very likely that these forks are interconnected, and they may even all converge eventually.”
Of the four forks, he had explored three now, and encountered demons in each one. This indicated that there was more than one demon here.
That was the worst-case scenario.
Moreover, Su Nan couldn’t help but suspect that he hadn’t even gotten close to the depths of the caves during these three tries; he had just been wandering around the periphery.
If that was indeed the case, then there must be many demons here!
“Keep on foresighting!”
Su Nan showed no signs of giving up. As soon as the foresight cooldown was over, he immediately started the third foresight of the day.
[…]
[Once again arriving at the four forks, this time you choose the last unexplored cave.]
[Contrary to your expectation, there are many skeletons in this cave. You quickly move forward and see a fork after only two or three breaths.]
[However, just as you approach the fork, a figure suddenly leaps out from the left and attacks you.]
[You died.]
[Before dying, you see that the demon attacking you has exposed white bones.]
After the third death, Su Nan was still killed by a demon.
The difference this time was that at least he knew what the demon looked like.
“Exposed white bones? Could it be the same kind of demon I encountered in my foresight when I left Kun Tian Prison?” Su Nan was astonished.
When leaving Kun Tian Prison, the first fork led to three directions: one to the outside of Sky Wolf Valley, one to the Thousand Wolf Cave, and the third to a cliff.
Back in his foresight, he was attacked and killed by a demon when he approached the edge of the cliff – it had bitten through his throat, and he had fallen off the cliff.
That demon’s body also had exposed white bones.
“Could it be a White Bone Demon?”
Su Nan’s imagination ran wild, picturing a demon made entirely of white bones in his mind.
If the demon in the cave really looked like that, even knowing its appearance might not help him transform into it.
There were limitations to the Boneshifting ability. He couldn’t transform into something with too large or too small of a body type, nor could he guarantee that he could change into a creature composed entirely of bones.
“If the two demons are of the same kind, maybe I can go to the cliff and observe the demon’s appearance.” Su Nan thought of a method, and his eyes lit up.
The environment inside the cave was not conducive for him to observe the demon or to avoid its attack, so he couldn’t fully utilize his speed.
The area around the cliff, on the other hand, had enough space for him to maneuver. He had a good chance of observing the demon’s appearance there.
With this thought, Su Nan immediately left Warm Moon Pond and headed for the cliff.
A moment later, he arrived at the fork leading to the cliff and began his forth foresight of the day.
However, he was disappointed.
He didn’t know whether to regard his luck as good or bad, as he didn’t encounter the demon that attacked him last time.
With no other choice, he had to temporarily abandon the exploration of the mysterious cave.
There was no point in continuing with foresight without being able to transform into the demon’s appearance.
“If there’s no immediate need to explore that cave, what should I do with the remaining three foresight opportunities?”
He still had three foresight opportunities left, which he couldn’t waste.
Standing at the fork, looking at the roads leading in three directions, Su Nan had an idea.
“The priority is to figure out how to leave Sky Wolf Valley. I need to continue foresighting how to do that.”
The Mainline Task countdown was drawing nearer day by day; now, only half the time remained, and he had yet to see even a glimpse of how to complete the second phase.contemporary romance
He didn’t know what the consequences would be for not completing the Mainline Task, but one thing was certain: it wouldn’t end well.
He had attempted leaving the valley through the mountain forest in his foresights yesterday, but all those attempts had ended in failure. Thus, that approach was not feasible.
In order to leave Sky Wolf Valley, he needed to find a way through the normal route.
Standing at the fork, Su Nan looked at the road that led to the gorge, feeling hesitant.
When he foresighted before, he had been watched by the demon at the end of the road as soon as he set foot on it. He didn’t know the reason for that, but he knew it probably wasn’t anything good.
If there was a choice, he would never take this road.
However, he had no other choice now.
Besides this road, he hadn’t found any other way to leave the valley.
“Last time I foresighted, I didn’t die. Maybe this road isn’t as dangerous as I thought.” Su Nan comforted himself.
After thinking about it, he still decided to foresight on this road.
However, the road was long, and three minutes of foresight time wasn’t enough for him to reach the end.
To reach the end of the road in foresight, there was only one way.
He could only foresight a section of the road, move forward a bit, and then continue foresighting.
This method had its risks.
Whatever happened during the foresight didn’t affect him, but once he truly stepped onto this road out of the valley, he would lose control over everything.
But he had no choice. If he wanted to leave the valley, he had to do it this way.
“Foresight!”
Su Nan didn’t hesitate and started foresighting right away.
[Stepping onto the road out of Sky Wolf Valley, you know that a demon became aware of you the moment you set foot on this road.]
[Just as you thought, the demon at the end of the road has fixed its gaze on
you, despite the numerous obstacles in their way.]
[You quickly move forward, wanting to reach the end of the road as soon as possible.]
[After several breaths, you come across a patrol of demons at a corner.]
[The demon leading the pack asks you why you are leaving Sky Wolf Valley.]
[With a spark of inspiration, you tell the demon that you have important matters to report to Princess.]
[The leading demon doesn’t doubt your words and informs you that they just received an order from the Demon Monarch to capture Outsiders who snuck into Sky Wolf Valley; they ask you to report immediately if you see any..]
