BXBX NOVEL Chapter 55 - 54 Moonwatching Peak
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.
He had previously thought that gathering skeletons was a peculiar hobby of the Wolf Demon, but now it seems that the Wolf Demon is collecting them with a purpose.
Those skeleton pieces are clearly not as simple as he had assumed!
If those demon skeletons have an unknown use, what about those animal hides?
At the same time, he pondered another question, the Wolf Demon Guard never came here, so where did they get so many skeletons from?
As this query surfaced, he already had an answer.
Warm Moon Pond!
There are demon skeletons at the bottom of Warm Moon Pond, and the Wolf Demon also frequents there. He didn’t believe that the two facts were unconnected.
[There are a large number of demons watching over the mining area. To get out, the demons in the mining area need to turn in all the skeletons they’ve dug up.]
[Some demons are responsible for sorting out the unearthed skeletons, it seems that they are trying to find something from these skeletons.]
[The mine is vast. You explore in the mine, trying to figure out the funtion of these skeletons.]
[You discovered that not only can demon skeletons be excavated here, but various broken weapons can also be dug out, which made you suspect’that this place was once a battlefield.]
“Battlefield?”
“Was this gorge once a battlefield?” Su Nan was astonished.
The foreknowledge ended here, three minutes were up.
He didn’t gam too much useful information, but at least he didn’t encounter any danger.
Moving forward with ease, Su Nan soon arrived at Moonwatching Peak.
With no demons to stop him, he smoothly entered a mine.
“The foreknowledge time is too short, even if there is something here, I can’t
touch it, now is a good chance to explore.”
Su Nan decided to give it a try and see what kind of rewards he could get from the actual mining.
His luck was good, and he quickly excavated a skeleton.
He was disappointed.
According to the game’s introduction, this skeleton is just a common demon skeleton.
Even when compared to those collected by the Wolf Demon, it fell far short.
At least the skeletons collected by the Wolf Demon didn’t show much sign of weathering, and seemed to be fresher.
He didn’t give up and continued to dig.
However, ten-plus minutes later, until he left Moonwatching Peak, he didn’t gain many useful insights.
Luckily, the task of exploring Moonwatching Peak was completed, and he earned 5 demon power points.
“Boneshifting is really useful.”
In a place where there were no demons, Su Nan transformed back into the shape of a Wolf Demon Guard.
Relying on the transformation into the shape of a demon, this task, which was very difficult in the eyes of other players, could be completed easily.
There are still six foreknowledge opportunities left, and I can’t waste them.”
“Let’s first use foreknowledge to see if I can leave Skywolf Valley from other places.”
His main task now is to leave Skywolf Valley.
The mainline task has a 20-day countdown, and now only 11 days are left.
The task of escaping from Skywolf Valley is only in the second phase at present, he doesn’t know how many phases there are after this, and the time left for him is limited.
Moreover, after leaving Skywolf Valley, he still needs to find a way to steal the
Bronze Bell that Zhou Lingyin wants.
He took out that old map and searched on it.
Soon, he found what seemed to be a relatively easier route to exit.
It was a place not far from Thousand Wolf Cave.
The foreknowledge time was only three minutes, if the route was too long, the foreknowledge would not be able to give him the information he needs.
After Su Nan arrived at that location, he began his foreknowledge..
