I Secretly Develop Myself In The Demon World - Chapter 659

Chapter 659: Chapter 349: The Divine Artifacts Finally Gathered _2

In a blink of an eye, half an hour passed, and the Great Princess led Su Nan to a huge valley surrounded by mountains. The valley was enormous, resembling a basin, with a diameter spanning twenty to thirty Li from east to west.

Looking down from the sky, ancient trees reached high towards the heaven. They were a rare type, somewhat resembling banyan trees, with canopies capable of sheltering the sky, but their leaves were oddly blood red.

The vast majority of the valley basin was covered by these banyan trees, standing out strikingly amidst the endless green ancient woods of the forest.

Through the gaps between the ancient trees, faintly visible were stone-paved paths leading in all directions, connecting to a series of stone halls.

Besides, there were quite a number of random, irregularly distributed caves on the surrounding mountainsides, which somewhat resembled Sky Wolf Valley.

The moment the two approached the valley, an old man emerged from it, quickly reaching their side.

This was a Peak King-level Great Monster!

Seeing the Great Princess, the old man paused, uncertain, “Are you Xiao Qian?”

Xiao Qian?

Is this the name of the Great Princess?

That was a surprise to Su Nan, who’d never asked about the Great Princess’s name before; this was the first time he learned about it.

“Greetings, Third Master.” The Great Princess responded respectfully.

Hearing this, the elderly man laughed, “So it really is you, young lady. It’s been years since we’ve seen each other, and I never expected you to have grown into such a woman. I heard about your disappearance, but I knew you wouldn’t easily run into trouble.”

He then glanced at Su Nan who had initially intrigued him as the companion of the Great Princess, but on learning that Su Nan was only a mid-stage Xuan-level, he quickly lost interest.

“I’ve made Third Master worry.” The Great Princess responded.

She had been kept by Su Nan in the Cosmic Ring up until they arrived at the Divine Ruins. All the demons who had seen her afterwards had been killed and the Skywolf Clan hadn’t heard any news about her.

The old man didn’t ask what had happened to the Great Princess in the interim, and accepted her answer, “As long as you’re back. Coincidentally, Qingqing returned yesterday too. Together with Bai Yu, your performance in this Heavenly Demon Grand Ceremony will determine whether our Skywolf Clan can make the top ten.”

Qingqing?

At this, a thought struck Su Nan. Could this be the younger sister of the Great Princess; the Green Wolf Demon King he had encountered in Tianyun County?

The old man didn’t make small talk with the Great Princess and quickly led her towards a stone hall in the valley.

Throughout, Su Nan didn’t utter a word, behaving as if he were invisible.

Arriving at the Stone Hall, he finally understood that this was the residence of the Skywolf Clan Demonic Emperor. Su Nan was going to follow the Great Princess inside until the old man stopped him.

“Little guy, this is no place for you.” The old man stopped Su Nan before turning to one of the Skywolf Clan guards by a stone hall. “Stone, find him a temporary place to stay.”

The Great Princess halted, her elegant eyebrows slightly furrowing as if about to say something. Still, Su Nan was the first to nod, speaking to the guard, “I appreciate your help, Brother Stone.”

The Twelve Zodiac was about to open, and he was indeed looking for a safe place to enter it.

A wolf demon named Stone grumbled in response. “Just follow me.”

Compared to human cities, the demon clans were more akin to relatively primitive tribes.

While they had quite a number of human structures, and even groups of buildings larger than those of humans, most still lived in quite primitive places.

Like caves, for example.

“Brother Stone, how powerful is our Skywolf Clan in the Ten Thousand Demon Ridge?”

On their way, Su Nan tried to glean some information regarding the Skywolf Clan.

Stone was quite open, without much concealment, which allowed Su Nan to gather much information about the demon clans of Ten Thousand Demon Ridge.

Over ten minutes later, Stone, accompanied by Su Nan, arrived in front of a cave. “Here we are. You’ll be staying here for now.”

“Thank you, Brother Stone!” Su Nan politely thanked him before entering the cave.

The cave was dry, equipped with stone tables, stone chairs, stone beds, and other living essentials. It seemed as if it hadn’t been inhabited for a while, and a thin layer of dust covered the stone tables and chairs.

With a wave of Su Nan’s hand, the power of heaven and earth surged, causing the dust to gather into a balled-up clod of dirt.

In the game, the sun was rising, starting a new day.

But in reality, darkness was falling.

Eight o’clock arrived, and the last opening of the Twelve Zodiacs began.

After checking his foreknowledge information to ensure safety, Su Nan switched his role back to Zhang Yang and activated his avatar. Both his original body and his avatar entered the Twelve Zodiacs at the same time again.

Unlike yesterday, today a Star Palace War God appeared opposite Zhang Yang in the game, but no Star Palace War God appeared opposite his avatar Wang Nan.

Su Nan understood that the enemy confronting Wang Nan was Lang Thirteen!

“As expected, two of the roles have been allocated to the same battlefield again.”

Although it was unavoidable, it was within his expectations.

Checking the points of both roles, he thought for a moment before asking Wang Nan to leave the Star Palace Battlefield.

He planned to give the points from this round to Lang Thirteen.

Wang Nan currently had more than 160,000 available points, Zhang Yang had over 100,000, and Lang Thirteen had more than 80,000.

These points would naturally appear massive to other players and could be exchanged for many good items. However, for Su Nan, they were trivial, as everything he had his eye on was expensive.

He now had only one goal: to exchange for three portions of Xuan-level Ancient Demon Blood.

One portion of Xuan-level Ancient Demon Blood cost 120,000 points, and Wang Nan had more than enough, but Zhang Yang and Lang Thirteen were a tad short. Therefore, it was the most suitable to give the final points to these two roles.
