Chapter 107: Chapter 93 The Four Dangerous Places

“A place of great misfortune?” Su Nan’s heart shook, not only fearless but actually interested.
He immediately asked, “Old man, what’s unusual about Li Caizhu’s house?” “Young one, that place is not somewhere you can go. Leave quickly.” The old woman didn’t want to continue the topic, waved her hand and turned to leave. Su Nan did not intend to give up. This was a good opportunity to gather information and he couldn’t miss it.
“Old woman, to be honest with you, I am a martial artist.”
“A martial artist?” The old woman was surprised. She stopped, turned around, and looked at Su Nan up and down again, as if she was hesitating whether or not to tell him.
Su Nan took this opportunity to continue, “Old woman, actually, those people who disappeared more than ten days ago were my friends. I am here to look for them. Even if you don’t say anything, I will still go to find them.”
“So they were your friends, what a pity.”
The old woman sighed, hesitated for a moment, and said, “There are demons there!”
“Demons!” Su Nan’s face showed an unusual color, but in his heart, he knew it. In this world, danger is almost always related to demons.
“Twenty years ago, the Li Caizhu family was not wealthy. In fact, you could say they were impoverished and thus unable to move away.”
“Ten years ago, Li Caizhu somehow acquired a large sum of money, and since then has become increasingly prosperous, quickly becoming the richest family in White Water Town. Therefore, everyone started calling him Li Caizhu.” “If it were only that, there wouldn’t be much of a problem. But three years ago, something strange happened at Li Caizhu’s house. The younger servants in his family started to go missing one after another.”
“Everyone suspected that it was because of a demon, so Li Caizhu posted notices offering large amounts of money for martial artists to eradicate the demon. Every martial artist who tried to eliminate the demon, however, never returned.”
After hearing the old woman’s description, Su Nan’s expression became serious.
If the demon was only making ordinary people disappear, then it wouldn’t be considered powerful. However, if it was able to make several martial artists disappear in succession, then that was extraordinary.
“Young one, I’m afraid your friends have already become the demon’s meal. This old woman advises you to go back where you came from and not to sacrifice your own life unnecessarily.” The old woman said earnestly.
“Don’t worry, old woman, I know what I’m doing.” Su Nan nodded.
He turned and prepared to leave.
At that moment, he seemed to remember something and stopped, “By the way, old woman, are there any other dangerous places in this town?”
Now, it was already past ten o’clock in reality. Two hours remained before the Task Refresh. There was no way he would return to Sky Wolf Valley today. As such, tasks related to White Water Town would inevitably refresh after midnight. It was better to gather information now, making it easier to take action later.
The old woman thought for a moment and said, “There are several dangerous places.”
“The Earth God Temple in the south of the town has had demons wreaking havoc for over twenty years. Later, the townspeople moved away, and there was almost no news of demons appearing again.”
“Also, the White Water River to the west of the town is off-limits. There is a terrifying Great Monster rumored to live in the river!”
“Lastly, there’s the Chen Ancestral Hall in the north of the town. Although there haven’t been reports of demons appearing there, it’s a very sinister place, with people often hearing voices and laughter in the middle of the night.” “The Earth God Temple, White Water River, Chen Ancestral Hall.” Su Nan secretly recorded these locations.
Adding Li Caizhu’s house to the list, White Water Town had a total of four places potentially inhabited by demons.
Su Nan wasn’t surprised. This world was full of demons, so it was unusual for a town this size to have no demons at all.
After bidding farewell to the old woman, Su Nan headed eastwards through the town.
He still had four more foreknowledge opportunities; he couldn’t waste them.
Su Nan planned to scout a few places first, roughly assessing the dangers that might exist in these locations.
“Of all the places, only Li Caizhu’s house still has people living in it, so it should be a relatively safe place.”
“However, several groups of martial artists have disappeared there, so there are only two possibilities: either those martial artists were really incompetent, or the demon there is truly too powerful!”
While walking eastward along the street, Su Nan secretly analyzed the possibilities.
Between the two possibilities, he leaned more towards the first, as a place like White Water Town wouldn’t likely attract powerful martial artists.
Besides, if the demon were really that powerful, it wouldn’t just be the disappearance of a few martial artists.
“Players don’t actually die. Since those players went to Li Caizhu’s house and never came back, they are most likely trapped somewhere.”
Su Nan continued eastward, asking passersby for directions from time to time until he finally arrived in front of a relatively luxurious courtyard.
The red-painted door was tightly closed, and there was a yellowing notice posted on it.
Su Nan did not use his foreknowledge right away but instead walked up and knocked on the door.
Li Caizhu’s house was large and inhabited.
Without a clear idea of where the demon was, three minutes of foreknowledge would be practically useless.
The foreknowledge time was too short.
Knock Knock Knock..
Su Nan knocked for a while, and finally, there were hurried footsteps coming from inside the courtyard.
As the door creaked open just a fingertip wide, an old man with a hunched back and full of white hair appeared before Su Nan.
“Who are you…?” The old man looked at Su Nan up and down with surprise in his eyes.
“Old man, I was passing by and saw your posted notice. What is happening in your residence?”
Su Nan pointed at the notice on the door and asked knowingly.
The old man was startled, then said with great joy, “Are you a martial artist?”
