Chapter 107 Ruins
[Mist Announcement]
[Limited-Time Opening of the Secret Realm]
[During the Great Storm, Dark Blue and Crimson Purple level dungeons will randomly appear.]
Each survivor can only enter once during this period.
[Deep Blue-level Secret Realms do not require a certificate, while Crimson Purple-level Secret Realms require a ticket.]
[The dungeons vary in format and are completely random.]
Best of luck to you all!
The sudden announcement from the fog of war startled Mo Ming: the secret realm would be open for a limited time!?
Doesn’t that mean?
My useless three-piece set of Secret Realm Tickets is finally going to have a use?
Mo Ming felt a surge of joy. He took out the ticket and looked at it from left to right, becoming happier with each look.
"Xiao Jin, from now on, when you patrol daily, if you spot any purple light, remember the location and come back to me immediately!"
Mo Ming gave Xiao Jin some instructions.
Little Gold shook its enormous head and then flew into the sky again.
After explaining things to Xiao Jin, Mo Ming decided to take advantage of the light wind and explore the large, unknown area to the west of the shelter.
So they tied up Hawkes and the others, threw them into a large pit, guarded by two giant man-eating flowers, and then left the shelter with Xiong Da, Xiong Er, and Meng Ling.
The man and the two bears sat on Mengling's broad back as they traveled westward.
The terrain to the west of the shelter is relatively flat, with mostly sand and gravel along the way. Flowers, grass and trees are scattered here and there, and there is not even a forest.
Traces of the tornado were still visible on the road.
The plains stretched out before them, but no useful resource points were visible. Mo Ming simply told Meng Ling to speed up.
After traveling nearly 150 kilometers, Mengling suddenly discovered a strange place.
It was a cave entrance, with many withered branches and piles of rocks around it. Black mist, which looked like miasma, was drifting around, and there was a strong, pungent smell emanating from the surrounding area.
Mo Ming dared not approach easily, and Xiong Da and Xiong Er were also helpless against this black gas.
However, Mengling told Moming that she could deal with the black gas.
Reimu Whale possesses an incredibly powerful talent: swallowing whales.
It can absorb any form of energy and adapt to any harsh environment, perfectly illustrating the meaning of survival of the fittest.
Then, Mengling opened its mouth wide, and with the flow of the vortex, all the surrounding black gas was swallowed into its belly.
This black miasma not only does not harm Mengling's body, but can also serve as a special energy to enhance its strength, killing two birds with one stone.
After confirming that there were no deadly dangers around, Mo Ming jumped off Meng Ling's body.
Unsure of the source of the miasma, Mo Ming only stood a few meters away from the cave entrance, not daring to approach rashly.
Generally speaking, miasma mainly originates from swampy areas or waterlogged areas, where various decaying substances accumulate over a long period of time, leading to the proliferation of toxic organisms and bacteria, which release various toxins.
These toxins diffuse in the water and evaporate when the temperature rises, forming miasma.
In other words, since this area is flat and there is no large amount of decaying matter, it does not meet the conditions for the formation of miasma. Therefore, the source of the miasma may be underground.
This cave is very likely the channel through which miasma spreads.
Only the Dream Spirit can ignore the miasma here, so it rightfully became the pathfinder.
Pushing aside the rocks and branches at the cave entrance, Mengling shrunk her body and entered the dark cave.
Time passed second by second, but there was still no movement at the cave entrance.
A slight sense of worry welled up in Mo Ming's heart.
He had no doubt about Meng Ling's abilities, but he was bound to encounter some trouble in this unknown cave.
"Dream Spirit?"
Mo Ming called out tentatively, but there was no response.
Mo Ming took out a torch from his spatial ring and lit it. With the torch in his left hand and the Demon-Suppressing Sword in his right, accompanied by two small bear cubs that could transform into terrifying behemoths at any moment, he walked step by step toward the cave entrance.
The black mist at the cave entrance had been completely absorbed by Meng Ling, and Mo Ming mustered his courage and stepped into the cave.
Suddenly, Mengling's voice rang in Mo Ming's ear, telling him that it was alright.
They also discovered a vast space inside.
That space was originally filled with black mist, but it has absorbed it all into its body, turning it into energy to nourish itself.
After understanding the situation, Mo Ming was no longer worried.
They simply followed Mengling deeper into the cave.
After walking through a passage that was about ten meters long, Mo Ming finally entered a relatively spacious area.
After lighting several torches, they were finally able to make out the entirety of the space.
This is a spherical space, about twenty square meters in size. The ground is uneven, and the surrounding walls look very rough, as if they were formed naturally.
Directly opposite the entrance to the cave passage is another dark cave entrance.
With Mengling leading the way, Mo Ming wasn't too worried and followed her slowly toward the dark cave entrance.
Soon, Mo Ming arrived at the vast space that Meng Ling had described.
Although this is deeper into the cave, it is not pitch black as one might imagine; instead, it is filled with light.
The source of the light was the clusters of glittering stones on the ground.
Whenever he encounters an unfamiliar item, Mo Ming immediately pulls out his analyzer.
【Night-Shining Jade: Crimson Purple Grade】
Description: A 37-watt light bulb in a misty world!
This is a good thing; it can be used as a light source and can be placed in various rooms of the shelter, saving us from constantly changing torches.
Mo Ming put most of the luminous jade stones into his spatial ring, leaving only a few as a light source for the area.
This space is quite large, but the only truly useful thing is the luminous jade that Mo Ming has put away. Further in, there is a large water pit.
The reason we no longer smelled that pungent odor was all thanks to Mengling, which absorbed the miasma along with the pungent smell.
Mengling told Moming that the black gas was coming from that puddle.
Mo Ming guessed that there must be a lot of decaying matter at the bottom of that puddle, and the enclosed space was what caused so much miasma to grow.
Beside the water pit, a huge stone gate stands majestically.
Two ferocious monsters are carved on the stone gate, which look terrifying.
Mo Ming vaguely felt that the biggest secret of this ruin should lie behind that stone door.
Exploration is inevitable.
However, this process must be done with extreme care.
"Big Bear, use Heavy Rock to smash that stone gate."
This crucial task of breaching the door is best suited for Xiong Da, whose talent perfectly counters all rock-type defenses.
Xiong Da pressed his palms against the stone door, and then beams of golden light flowed continuously into Xiong Da's body from the stone door.
Mo Ming knew perfectly well that it was the earth-attribute energy in the stone gate being absorbed by Xiong Da.
After a while, the light disappeared, and Xiong Da pushed hard, turning the stone door into a pile of rubble.
Then, the scene that came into view completely stunned Mo Ming.
"Fuck!"
