Many of the skeletons dug out of the Moonwatching Peak were already decayed, showing how ancient they were, but Su Nan had no idea that the origins of these skeletons could be traced back to ancient times.

This was also the first thing he had encountered that involved ancient times other than the Life Wheel Scripture and Technique Seeds.

Not long ago, the information from the foreknowledge about going to Moonwatching Peak mentioned that there was a suspected battlefield, and he hadn’t thought much about it at the time.

Now it seemed that Sky Wolf Valley might have once been an ancient battlefield, and these skeletons were the remains of demons who had died there.

“Could it be that these skeletons are valued by demons because they were left behind by demons in ancient times?”

“Or, do these skeletons of ancient demons have some unknown function?”

There were still many skeletons in the storage ring of the Wolf Demon, so Su Nan simply took them all out and studied them again carefully.

Compared to the skeletons dug out of Moonwatching Peak, the skeletons in the ring were relatively intact, but that was it, and there were no other unusual features.

He tried to grind some of the skeletons into powder and study them further, but still found nothing special.

“The demons at Moonwatching Peak picked the excavated skeletons, which means most of the skeletons are worthless, and perhaps only a handful of them are needed by demons. These skeletons I have are obviously not part of the very few.”

Putting away the skeletons and no longer studying them, Su Nan focused on the information from his previous foreknowledge again.

At the end of the foreknowledge, the demon attacked him again, and he was able to contend with it even when severely wounded.

This indicated that the Spirit-level monster’s strength was not as strong as he had thought.

Perhaps he could try to confront it head-on!

Thinking of this, Su Nan’s spirits lifted.

Hunting a Spirit-level monster rewarded 15 Demon Points, and the reward was enticing.

More importantly, if he could hunt this spirit-level monster, it would prove that he already had the ability to contend with spirit-level monsters!

“I still have one more chance of foreknowledge to use, can’t waste it.”

[Once again at the edge of the pond, you know that there are demons secretly watching you, waiting for any moment to attack.]

[You have great confidence in your strength and are not afraid. Instead, you plan to confront the demon head-on.]

[After a brief search for opportunities, the demon suddenly launches an attack on you. You use the Windstep to barely dodge, while simultaneously counterattacking the demon.]

[It is a Spirit-level monster, but luckily, having integrated with four bloodlines, you now barely have the qualifications to fight against it.]

“Unexpectedly, I can actually contend against a Spirit-level monster,” Su Nan whispered delightedly.

Before integrating with the Wind Leopard Bloodline, he couldn’t even dodge the demon’s attack.

After integrating with the Wind Leopard Bloodline, his strength only increased slightly, but his speed greatly improved, which made up his weakness.

[You continuously use Bloodline Combat Skills, trying to end the battle as quickly as possible.]

[Unfortunately, your strength is not enough to seriously injure the demon. Instead, with the continuous use of Bloodline Combat Skills, you gradually become exhausted.]

[At the critical moment, you jump into the lake, trying to use the water to escape.]

[The demon doesn’t plan to let you go and dives into the water as well, relentlessly pursuing you.]

[Helplessly, you can only defend against the demon’s attacks while fleeing towards the waterfall.]

[During this process, you are inadvertently severely wounded by the demon.]

[Just as you are about to be completely exhausted, you accidentally discover a huge cave hidden in the area where the waterfall impacts the water in the pond.]

[You immediately sense something extraordinary and strive to go there.]

“This is…” Su Nan’s eyes lit up.

Unexpectedly, there was a new discovery!

[You dive into the cave and swim towards its depths.]

[It’s not a cave that goes vertically downward, but one that slowly extends upward.]

[After a short upward climb, you emerge from the water and find yourself facing four branching tunnels leading in different directions.]

[With the demon closing in, you have no time to think and choose the leftmost branch to enter.]

[The cave twists and turns, littered with decaying skeletons. Running for only two breaths, you find yourself again at a junction with three branches.]

[Once again, you choose the leftmost branch.]

[In a daze, you hear heavy panting from the tunnel ahead, and you immediately sense danger.]

[You want to turn and run, but it’s already too late.]

[You have died.]

” Who would have thought there would be a hidden world under the waterfall? I wonder if this is the real reason for the Wolf Demon coming here?”

Instead of fear, Su Nan becomes more interested after being killed by an unknown monster in his foreknowledge.

Such a mysterious cave existing in a place like Warm Moon Pond is already unusual.

Moreover, he discerns another issue.

Whether it’s because Warm Moon Pond is within the Skywolf Clan’s territory or for some other reason, he did not attract any Mountain demons when he battled the monsters near the pond.

“I just don’t know where this cave leads. It would be great if it led to the outside of the gorge.”

Su Nan is eager for another foreknowledge.

However, his foreknowledge attempts for today have been used up, so now he has to wait until tomorrow to continue.

“What happened? Why do you look so bad?” Su Nan asks Wang Chong curiously. “Ugh, don’t mention it!” Wang Chong sighs, looking bitter, “It’s about the game.”

“I heard that the beginning of this game is difficult, but I didn’t think much of it. Now, I know what a hellish start really is.”

“I was killed by a monster yesterday before I even got the Novice Task. Today was not any better; I was discovered by a monster just five minutes into the game.”

“In two days, two lives, and less than ten minutes of total game time, I don’t know what kind of messed-up person created this game.”

Wang Chong, seeming to have found someone to vent to, couldn’t help but complain.

Yesterday, getting the game bracelet made him ambitious, thinking he could rise to prominence through gaming.

Little did he know that as soon as he started, a monster in the game would give him a rude awakening.

Su Nan suddenly realizes this and is not surprised by Wang Chong’s experience. Before the Survival Task begins, it’s already challenging to complete the Novice Task, let alone during the Survival Task when monsters can find players and actively hunt them down.

Under such conditions, new players can hardly complete the Novice Task and reach the standard for the Survival Task unless they get help from experienced players.

Su Nan even observes that many players lose their qualifications for the game once the 15-day Survival Task period ends.

“If only the game’s starting location wasn’t random, I could have landed near Miss Bai and taken off by now.”

“Now all I can do is hope to meet up with Miss Bai as soon as possible.”

Su Nan comforts him, “Take this easy. Your situation may not be good, but others aren’t faring much better either.”

Wang Chong nods, “That’s true. Apart from those four ridiculously lucky Luck Children, there are many others who haven’t completed the Novice Task.” “Luck Children? What are those?” Su Nan is confused and curious..
