Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Thousand Wolf Cave
Translator: 549690339
Many demon caves were built on the cliffs, with hundreds visible at a glance.
Without the memory of the Wolf Demon, Su Nan couldn’t possibly know which cave belonged to the Wolf Demon.
He had no choice but to place his hopes in the Wolf Demon’s storage ring.
There weren’t many items in the Wolf Demon’s storage ring, as his attention was only on the identity tokens before, and he didn’t pay close attention to other things.
Now, upon careful inspection, he was immediately attracted to a long chain of keys.
There were about sixty or seventy keys, the style of which Su Nan was familiar with; these were the keys to the prison cells of the first floor of the Kun Tian Prison.
Besides that, he also found some animal remains and animal hides.
The hints given by the game were all from unidentified creatures, of no value, and it was not clear what purpose the Wolf Demon had for collecting these items.
Continuing his search, he finally found a stone tablet similar to the Wolf Demon’s identity token, with three numbers engraved on it.
102!
[Stone Tablet: Ordinary item, a stone tablet carved with the number 102, its purpose is not yet clear.]
Looking at the stone tablet and then carefully examining the caves, Su Nan found that there was a number above each cave entrance on the rock wall.
Starting from number 1 at the bottom, the numbers increased as they went up.
He quickly found cave number 102.
“With cave number 102, it seems this should be the cave’s token.”
To be on the safe side, he decided to use his power of foreknowledge once more.
[You arrived at a place where demons gathered and found an item that seemed to be a cave token from the Wolf Demon’s storage ring.]
[You decided to try going to cave number 102.]
[Walking up the steps and passing by other caves, some demons glanced at you, but they didn’t bother you, and you successfully arrived at cave number 102.]
[The cave extends into the mountain for an unknown length. You entered the cave and carefully explored it. After two or three breaths, you reached the end of the cave, which was a huge stone room.]
[The stone room was pitch-black. You activated the Demon Sutra to see everything clearly, and there were no other demons around.]
[You tried searching inside the cave.]
[You found the leftover half-piece of an unknown creature’s flesh and blood.]
[You discovered numerous unidentified creature’s skeletons.]
[You found a large number of unidentified animal hides.]
“That’s right, this must be the Wolf Demon’s cave.” Su Nan’s eyes lit up.
Unless there were other demons who also had a hobby of collecting skeletons and animal hides, chances were high that this cave belonged to the Wolf Demon guard.
[The large number of skeletons made you feel a bit unusual, the realization that there might be some secret behind the Wolf Demon’s collection of skeletons.]
[You carefully examined every skeleton, gradually discovering that these skeletons were not ordinary animal skeletons but belonged to various types of demons.]
[These skeletons came from different types of demons, and most of them had existed for a very long time. Some skeletons had even weathered away, but besides that, you didn’t find any other abnormalities.]
“Is there something wrong with these skeletons?”
Su Nan was surprised, thinking the collection was just a habit of the Wolf Demon. But now it seemed that the Wolf Demon had a purpose behind it.
It’s just that he didn’t know what the Wolf Demon collected them for.
[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..
