Chapter 87 - 84: The Turtle in the Jar
Pat, pat, pat…
Familiar footsteps came from the corridor.
in the corner, Zhou Cheng’s face tensed: “A demon is coming; I hope it’s going
to the third floor.”
He looked forward with anticipation; very few demons entered Kun Tian
Prison, and if he wanted to go to the third floor, he had to follow other demons.
To seize the opportunity, he had been waiting here without doing Daily Tasks.
Fortunately, it was worth it.
As long as he could enter the third floor, only time stood between him and completing the Mainline Task.
The footsteps grew closer and closer until he saw the approaching demon. However, upon seeing Su Nan’s transformed Wolf Demon, his heart sank!
He recognized Su Nan!
While Wolf Demons looked similar, careful observation would reveal many
differences.
Zhou Cheng had a deep impression of Su Nan’s transformed Wolf Demon; just one glance, and he recognized him.
“Damn, how did this Wolf Demon get here?” Zhou Cheng cursed silently.
He knew that Su Nan’s transformed Wolf Demon was a guard on the first floor and should only be on the first floor. But now it had come to the second one, which made him suspect Su Nan was sent by demons for him.
After all, other than fully transformed great monsters, this was the only demon that could discover him.
Zhou Cheng held his breath, averted his eyes, tried to hide himself as much as possible, hoping Su Nan wouldn’t detect him.
But he was let down, Su Nan’s footsteps stopped not far from him, Zhou Cheng knew he had been exposed!
“Escape!” Without time to think, he turned into a shadow and darted away at great speed.
Utilizing the treasure’s ability, without the help of other martial artists or demons, the concealment effect was greatly reduced, and it was easy to be discovered.
However, in this state, there was also a benefit: the damage from ordinary attacks was greatly reduced.
But as soon as he made a move, he suddenly felt as if his head had been hit hard, and his mind instantly felt bewildered.
Due to the influence, his body was immediately revealed from the shadow
state.
Zhou Cheng was greatly alarmed and tried to force himself to wake up.
But before he could react, the transformed Wolf Demon, Su Nan, was already standing in front of him, his fist heading towards Zhou Cheng.
-What was that ability just now?” Right before his demise, a thought flashed through Zhou Cheng’s mind.
[Congratulations, you have completed the Daily Task “Hunt a Top too
Outsider,” and 5 Demon Power points have been awarded.]
[Usable Demon Power: 47 points.]
Su Nan continued walking, his body transforming back into the appearance of
the Great Princess as he headed for the third floor.
The third floor has 54 cells, nine fewer than the second floor.
What surprised Su Nan was that the demon guarding the place only had 46
keys, which meant eight of them were missing.
With the keys in hand, Su Nan went around and returned to the first floor.
“I wonder if any of these keys can open those back doors?”
Perhaps his transformation into the Great Princess wouldn’t be exposed in a short time, but if it happened too often, it would inevitably raise suspicion.
If he could enter the second and third floors from the back doors, the level of concealment would naturally increase significantly.
He returned to the passage and quickly arrived at the metal door leading to the second floor, trying out the keys one by one.
To his delight, as soon as the key for Room No. 25 touched the metal door, there was an immediate response.
“It actually opened!” Su Nan was thrilled.
Inside the cell was a dog-headed demon that charged at Su Nan with a roar.
Su Nan punched the demon back and closed the prison door again.
“Great, from now on, this second floor will also be my treasure trove for
gaining Demon Power!”
Not daring to stay in the passage for long, he quickly returned to the first floor of Kun Tian Prison.
After some thought, he headed for Cell No. 24.
The Bronze Bell had a high probability of being in the sixth palace of the Wolf
King Palace. He couldn’t enter it on his own and had to rely on Zhou Lingyin.
“I suppose you’ve killed that Wolf Demon by now.”
In the cell, Zhou Lingyin was sitting cross-legged, her eyes half-closed, as if she hadn’t moved at all.
“Senior, I entered the Wolf King Palace not long ago.” Su Nan said.
“Oh, so soon?” Zhou Lingyin suddenly opened her eyes, filled with surprise. When she asked Su Nan to steal the Bronze Bell, she saw that he was an Outsider and wanted to give it a try.
As for whether Su Nan could steal it successfully, she didn’t hold out much hope; she knew all too well the dangers of the Wolf King Palace!
In her view, whether Su Nan could even leave Sky Wolf Valley in a short time was a problem.
But she never thought that in just over ten days, Su Nan would not only escape Sky Wolf Valley but also enter the Wolf King Palace and return to Kun Tian Prison.
“You’ve truly surprised me.” Zhou Lingyin looked deeply at Su Nan, but she didn’t ask any further questions.
Su Nan didn’t explain either; he continued: “There are six palaces in the Wolf King Palace. I’ve almost confirmed that the Bronze Bell is in the sixth palace. But there’s a transformed demon guarding it, and I can’t get in.
Zhou Lingyin seemed to know that Su Nan would face this situation and calmly said, “isn’t my Identity Jade with you? It has the power I injected into it three years ago.”
“As long as you shatter it, it will unleash my full power in one strike, more than enough to deal with that demon.
Identity Jade?
Well!
No wonder she didn’t ask for the Identity Jade back last time. She was waiting here!
Su Nan naturally knew that Zhou Lingyin’s power was in the Identity Jade; he had also thought about using it but ultimately held back..
