Chapter 304 - 183: Entering the Secret Land
The ancient cave mansion was located in a place called Three Pillars Mountain. From a distance, Su Nan could see three mountain peaks arranged in a triangle. The stones on the mountain peaks were all red, as if they had been dyed in blood.
After countless years of erosion, the three mountains were still towering, but compared to the peaks depicted on the treasure map, they were much shorter. Qian Yu led Wang Nan into the valley, where dozens of players were guarding. After a lot of twists and turns, the group finally arrived at a cave at the foot of one of the mountains.
“To enter that cave house, you need to go through a formation, and that formation is at the end of this cave.”
Qian Yu led Su Nan to the end of the cave.
There, at the end of the cave, was a huge stone plate with a diameter of ten meters, engraved with dense patterns.
And in the center of the stone plate, there was a silver longsword stuck in it.
The longsword appeared out of place among the strange patterns on the stone plate.
“That’s… the key to the cave house!” Su Nan’s heart stirred, realizing that the longsword was a key to the cave, just like the treasure map in his hand.
Noticing Su Nan’s gaze, Qian Yu casually explained, “That sword is the core of the formation and cannot be pulled out. If it’s pulled out, the formation will be destroyed.”
Qian Yu apparently didn’t want Su Nan to know the real purpose of the longsword, so he made up an excuse to discourage Su Nan from showing interest in it.
Su Nan sneered in his heart.
He didn’t expose it, shifting his gaze from the longsword to the information of foreknowledge on the panel.
[Following several outsiders, you arrive at the entrance of the ancient cave mansion recorded on the treasure map.]
[Stepping on the array disk at the entrance, the array disk is activated by the bloodline power of one of the outsiders, and you enter the ancient powerhouse’s cave mansion with them.]
[As you learned, the location of the cave mansion is in a small space with dim light. You continue to follow the outsiders.]
[A minute later, you encounter a mortal-level demon unique to the cave mansion space and easily dispose of it.]
[Two minutes later, you arrive at a small hill, the territory of a spirit-level demon. Without detouring, you kill the demon and pass.]
[Three minutes later, you kill another mortal-level demon.]
[End of first prediction, do you want to continue predicting?]
“No.”
Su Nan chose not to continue.
According to Qian Yu, the secret land was deep inside the cave mansion space, and after entering the cave mansion space, it would still take 20 or 30 minutes to get there.
This meant that if he continued to predict, he would have to waste a dozen more prediction attempts.
Although he now had as many as 54 prediction attempts, he should still save them as necessary.
After all, the secret land was his primary target.
The cave mansion space had been explored many times and was relatively safe. As for the secret land, it seemed that no one had ever entered it. Nobody knew what would happen inside. He could only feel at ease if he saved enough prediction attempts.
“Brother Wang Nan, let’s go.”
As if to prevent Su Nan from having a wary heart towards the stone plate, Qian Yu took the lead in stepping onto the huge stone plate.
“Alright!” Knowing that the prediction was safe, Su Nan didn’t have much to worry about and also stepped onto the stone plate.
The other members of the Nine Heavens Guild quickly followed, and with Qian Yu’s urging, the runes on the huge stone plate flickered.
In the next instant, Su Nan found himself in a dimly lit space.
“Is this the cave mansion space?”
Su Nan curiously glanced around, only to find that it was quite different from the space in the Bone Cave.
Other than having no sun, moon, or stars, it was almost the same as the outside world.
Under their feet was still a huge stone plate with a diameter of ten meters, not much different from the entrance plate.
Qian Yu led the way, and the group continued to move forward.
Unbeknownst to Su Nan, the moment he entered the cave mansion space, people from the Destiny Society in reality received information about his movement.
“Qian Yu actually took Wang Nan into the ancient cave house?”
“What does Qian Yu want to do? Wang Nan’s strength is now beyond our control, and Qian Yu dares to take him into the ancient cave house. If Wang Nan benefits from it, all our plans will be disrupted!”
“This may not be entirely a bad thing, and perhaps it’s an opportunity for us.
According to Qian Yu, that cave mansion space has only one exit. If we set a trap at the exit, we might gain unexpected benefits.”
“Furthermore, if Wang Nan has no means of leaving the cave mansion space, we might be able to trap him in that space for good.”
“We’ll know if it works by trying. After all, it’s an opportunity.”
Inside the cave mansion space, Su Nan quickly moved deeper into the cave with Qian Yu’s guidance.
Three minutes later, Su Nan killed two demons.
He discovered that compared to the outside world, the demons here seemed a bit dull.
Qian Yu said, “This space has given birth to many demons. However, for some unknown reason, these demons have little wisdom. They can be considered powerful beasts with only strength.”
“No wisdom?” Su Nan was surprised. He instantly realized the importance of this place to the Nine Heavens Guild.
Without wisdom, it meant that the demons here were easier to hunt than the ones in the outside world..
