Survival in the Mist: From a Dilapidated Wooden Hut to a Heavenly Palace in the Clouds

Mo Ming led Hawkes into the warehouse, brought over a chair, sat down with his legs crossed, and stared at it without moving.

Hawkes felt uneasy under Mo Ming's gaze. Although it didn't want to compromise, it dared not utter any arrogant words, having learned from Dick's experience.

After a long pause, Mo Ming finally spoke, "How many people from your Asya tribe came up from the Endless Abyss this time?"

"Hmph! I don't know!" Hawkes still had some backbone; even after witnessing Mo Ming's ruthlessness, he maintained his tough stance.

"You little bastard, you're really tough! I hope you can still be this stubborn later!"

Mo Ming raised an eyebrow, then took out a small bottle of healing potion from his spatial ring, waved it in front of Hawkes, and slowly said, "Do you know what this is?"

"What? Poison?" Hawkes' expression remained contemptuous. "You humans only know how to use such low-class tricks. Come on, kill me! I will never betray the great Asya tribe!"

Mo Ming held up a finger and shook it, pouting as he said, "No, no, no, this isn't poison, it's... an aphrodisiac!"

Upon hearing the words "aphrodisiac," Hawkes' eyes widened, his anus tightened, and a nameless panic gripped his heart.

"I think that guy outside... Luo Pei seems to have some special feelings for you. Why don't I go all the way and play matchmaker for you two?" Mo Ming's face was full of lewd smiles.

He knew that for a person with backbone, sometimes death could not frighten him, but as long as he found its Achilles' heel and struck hard, even the hardest bone would be useless.

"Don't do anything rash! We have nothing to do with each other. That sissy would never want to be with him." Hawkes panicked. This tough guy had finally been found to be vulnerable by Mo Ming.

"That won't be up to you. I'll give you both a bottle, and I guarantee you won't be able to get out of bed for three days and three nights, hahaha!"

As he spoke, Mo Ming stood up and slowly approached Hawkes.

Hawkes, who was severely injured, was unable to muster any strength and could only watch helplessly as Mo Ming walked towards him.

In its eyes, Mo Ming at this moment was like a devil, slowly approaching it.

Mo Ming deliberately slowed down in order to amplify Hawkes's inner fears to an extreme degree.

As Mo Ming was about to reach him, Hawkes' taut nerves finally snapped. Like a deflated balloon, he said in a low voice, "I'll talk, I'll talk, I'll tell you everything!"

"I still prefer your tough and resolute appearance just now. How about... you recover?" Mo Ming said with a faint smile.

Seeing Mo Ming's smile, which was exactly the same as before, Hawkes broke out in a cold sweat. This guy was simply a devil, using the gentlest tone to do the most ruthless things.

"No...no, please. I'll tell you everything you ask. I give up!"

"A wise person!"

Mo Ming sat back down in his chair, fiddling with the bottle of healing potion he had used to intimidate others.

"Tell me everything that has happened since you came out of the endless abyss, including what treasures your tribe possesses, your population..."

I'll ask them a few more times later. If you hide anything, you know the consequences!

After saying that, Mo Ming glanced at the small bottle in his hand, seemingly unintentionally.

Seeing this, Hawkes had no choice but to accept its fate; it would rather die than be with Lope...

It makes me sick just thinking about it.

"About half a month ago, just as the great calamity of the Misty World was about to arrive, our half-orc boss opened the Abyss Rift, allowing all races of us to enter the Misty World."

While the strong winds keep you survivors from going out, it will be easier for us to make some plans that you won't easily discover.

Then a large-scale operation targeting the survivors will be carried out here, but the details are only known to the leaders of each tribe.

"Wait, we can't go out to explore because of the strong winds, but you can?" Mo Ming's previous guess was indeed correct, but he didn't know how they were able to avoid the strong winds.

"Actually, we are all making preparations in our own secret bases. It's just that the strong winds will reduce the time and frequency of your outings, so the probability of you discovering us is relatively lower."

"Soga! You continue." Now Mo Ming understood; they were just using the wind to secretly make their move.

"Our Minotaur tribe has two branches, each led by a chieftain. One is the Asya tribe, led by my elder brother Asya, and the other is the Asmo tribe, led by his brother Asmo."

However, the two tribes did not teleport to the same region.

"Our Minotaur tribe has always been highly valued by the boss, which is why they entrusted us with the escort of such a rare treasure as the Azure Flame Crimson Fruit. Who would have thought that that idiot Tony would ruin it?"

Hawkes' eyes blazed with fury. If it weren't for Tony's affair, he wouldn't have ended up in such a state.

"You know what happened next, and I think you were the one who took down those two idiots, Tony and Motor, right?"

“Hahahaha…” Mo Ming did not answer it, but instead asked in return, “How many Azure Flame Vermilion Fruits are left in your ancestral land?”

Hawkes smiled wryly and helplessly, "It really was you! As for the Azure Flame Vermilion Fruit, there are basically none left in the ancestral land now, only a patch of Azure Flame Vine remains. That thing only bears fruit once every few decades, so these 60 are all the remaining stock."

"Tell me about your ancestral land! Be comprehensive! If you don't hear what I want to hear, then... hehehehe..."

Mo Ming licked his lips and glanced at the healing potion in his hand with ill intent.

If Hawkes found out that this thing wasn't an aphrodisiac at all, wouldn't he be so angry he'd vomit blood?

Looking at the small bottle in Mo Ming's hand, Hawkes couldn't help but swallow hard. What do you want to hear? At least give me a specific direction. Where do I even begin?

Mo Ming's purpose is simple: he doesn't ask specific questions, but rather wants to make you flustered because you can't figure out his thoughts, so that you will reveal everything you know.

As Mo Ming had predicted, Hawkes had no choice but to tell him everything he knew.

"There are a total of 12 bosses in our Endless Abyss. They are all incredibly powerful. We orcs belong to the lineage of the Killing Buddha, but so far only the leaders of various tribes have seen its true form. We have no way of getting close to it."

Beneath it sits a terrifying crocodile, the Emperor Crocodile. It is said that the crocodile's strength at its peak was comparable to that of a boss, although its strength has declined considerably now, it is still extremely frightening.

That's all I know.

Mo Ming squinted, sensing that Hawkes was probably not lying, nodded, and prepared to go out to "interrogate" the others.

"Wait!" Hawkes suddenly remembered something and called out to Mo Ming.

The next sentence sent a chill down Mo Ming's spine; the feeling was like a thorn in his back and a fishbone stuck in his throat.

That matter, surprisingly...
