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

I had a brief chat with Song Yufei about mutual support, and we hit it off immediately. We both hoped to have a reliable teammate.

In Song Yufei's opinion, Mo Ming was a reliable person; at least he had never broken his promises to her, except for his foul mouth.

After a good night's sleep, Mo Ming was fully rested and decided to use this last day of the day to do something big.

Before the monster siege event arrives, clear out those few emerald-level beasts near the shelter.

Mo Ming had no idea where the beasts attacking the city came from. Did they appear out of thin air? From the depths of the mist? Or perhaps from the vicinity of the shelter?

Regardless of where they come from, dealing with the wild animals around the shelter first can greatly reduce Mo Ming's stress.

To avoid being overwhelmed if several armies launch an attack simultaneously.

I checked the protection radar, and there are 7 bright green dots within a 3-kilometer radius of the shelter.

Three of them were together, with two pale yellow dots next to them. This was clearly the direction of the huge tomb robber's hole that Mo Ming had first discovered.

Mo Ming immediately decided to tackle the huge robbery hole on the west side of the shelter first.

Whatever wild beasts are inside, they're just unlucky.

Pushing open the bronze door, the sight before him completely astonished Mo Ming.

Two plants, each as thick as a mature tree, stand beside the shelter's wall.

The trunk is covered with barbs, and many vines are wrapped around several branches of varying thickness.

Mo Ming looked up and saw a gaping maw filled with sharp teeth, and the entire torso was estimated to be over 5 meters tall.

This is... a giant carnivorous plant?

Mo Ming could hardly believe his eyes and quickly used his bracelet to analyze their data.

[Giant Carnivorous Plant: Emerald Green Level]

Description: A giant carnivorous plant in its mature stage, capable of swallowing a lion whole, but that's not its limit...

Mo Ming cautiously approached, confirming that they had no intention of attacking and that the special bond between them still existed, before he was completely relieved.

It seems the rules haven't changed; the one who sows the seed is its master.

Is the catalytic fertilizer of Deep Blue really that effective?

Can the giant carnivorous plant level up without eating?

Mo Ming had some questions in his mind. He walked around the shelter and found that five giant carnivorous plants were on the edge of the wall, guarding it like sentinels.

With his attention focused on the giant carnivorous plant's imposing size, Mo Ming didn't notice his surroundings. But soon he realized that something seemed to be missing.

"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, the greenhouses are all there, so what's missing? Something feels off." Mo Ming was full of questions, but he just couldn't figure out what was wrong.

"Holy crap, my Hundred Flower Fruit Forest!" Mo Ming suddenly woke up and quickly ran to the back of the shelter to check again.

Five giant carnivorous plants broke through simultaneously. The Deep Blue-level catalytic fertilizer must have played a crucial role, but they also needed to eat, otherwise they could never have grown so big.

As soon as he arrived at the back of the shelter, Mo Ming was stunned by what he saw.

Dozens of lush green flowering fruit trees are now gone, not a single one remains. There are no branches left on the ground, only dug holes and some fallen leaves.

Damn it, not only did they eat it, they uprooted it completely! My heart was bleeding. I had just promised Liu Heng that he could let me know if he wanted any more Hundred Flower Fruit, and now…

"Are you guys really going to be so cruel? You're not leaving me a single one?" Mo Ming's face looked as if he had swallowed a dead rat.

It was upsetting, but there was nothing I could do. After all, they were plants I had raised myself. I couldn't very well kill five giant man-eating flowers to avenge the Hundred Flower Fruit Forest, could I? Besides, I couldn't possibly defeat them!

After that bite, I reckon there wouldn't even be any bone fragments left.

Wait, no, I'm the master. So Mo Ming unleashed a barrage of attacks on the carnivorous plants, but the central message was simple: they couldn't eat anything from the shelter's territory anymore.

The carnivorous plants listened to Mo Ming's complaints and occasionally stretched out their vines to rub against his body. Seeing them being so ingratiating, Mo Ming couldn't bear to scold them anymore.

Then I gave them some simple instructions:

For example, one cannot damage facilities within the territory, eat crops within the territory, or ensure the safety of the shelter, etc.

Now that he has five giant, emerald-green man-eating flowers guarding his home, Mo Ming has basically no more worries.

After explaining everything, he put the Emerald Green-level Taming Scroll into his spatial ring, took Xiong Da, Xiong Er, and Xiao Jin out, and headed straight for the tomb raider's tunnel.

A dozen minutes later, Mo Ming led them to a tomb raider's hole that was more than two meters high. Mo Ming remembered that the edge of the hole used to be covered with green shrubs and vines, but now it was covered with snow.

It's more like a cave than a robber's hole, except that it's not a mountain, but a huge mound of earth.

There are several rows of huge hoof prints next to the tomb, with the prints spaced more than two meters apart, indicating that the animals were definitely not small.

It seems they came out of the cave recently, but I don't know if they're still inside.

Wild boar? Or cattle, horses, or goats?

Given the size of the hoof prints, Mo Ming guessed that they were more likely from a wild boar or a bison.

Mo Ming had Xiao Jin fly into the air to keep watch, and then had Xiong Da and Xiong Er enter the tomb to drive out the wild animals inside, emphasizing that they should not be killed, while he himself hid in the distance to observe.

Whether it's a wild boar or a bison, they shouldn't be able to cause any harm to Xiong Da and Xiong Er under the same level. Mo Ming's idea is that it would be best to drive them back to the sanctuary and tame them, so that he can have more combat power.

Although killing them would likely yield a silver-level resource box, Mo Ming still preferred his living pets.

A short while later, accompanied by several deafening roars, the bodies of Xiong Da and Xiong Er were pushed out of the cave.

Then, three enormous bison charged out of the cave and confronted the two bears menacingly.

The entire bull is bluish-brown, with its huge horns displaying a brilliant golden yellow. Its back is high and bulging, and its thick limbs and large hooves give it a tremendous sense of power. Its long tail swings back and forth behind its rump, accompanied by a hissing sound as it cuts through the air, demonstrating its immense strength.

Mo Ming immediately used the bracelet to analyze the bison's information.

[Golden Horned Longhorn Beetle: Emerald Green Grade]

Talent: Golden Slayer (Sharp golden horns can penetrate all defenses)

Description: Mutated from an ordinary giant-horned bison, its size, strength, and speed have all been greatly enhanced, especially its pair of golden horns, which are capable of piercing the sky...

Mo Ming was startled. The Golden Horn had broken through all defenses? Was it really true?

Before Mo Ming could think too much, the battle in front of the cave had already begun. At this time, Xiong Da and Xiong Er had not yet activated their multiplication talents, and their original size was comparable to that of the Golden Horned Longhorn Beetle.
