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

Mo Ming quickly ran to the battlefield on the west side of the shelter. Fortunately, the beast was still alive. Suan Suan and Cai Cai seemed to have no way to deal with it and could only use vines to stop it from attacking the shelter wall.

Under the torchlight, Mo Ming finally saw its true form.

[Emperor Crocodile: Deep Blue Level]

Talent (Alligator Killer): Creates abyssal terror.

Description: A apex predator from the endless abyss...

The Endless Abyss? Yet another place I'd never heard of. Mo Ming silently memorized the name.

"Creating Abyssal Terror"—what does that mean? How is this talent used? I'm completely baffled...

The Emperor Crocodile seemed to sense the approach of several deep blue-level auras. With a flick of its massive tail, it broke free from the vines and disappeared into the darkness.

Mo Ming stared in disbelief. "So cautious? They... ran away already?"

I was originally planning to capture this giant crocodile alive and send it to the Beast King's Palace for "remodeling," and then have it guard the city moat.

Unfortunately, we'll have to wait for another opportunity. The responsibility of guarding the moat will have to be temporarily entrusted to Lingmeng Whale.

With the defeat and escape of the Emperor Crocodile, this terrifying and ferocious beast tide has temporarily come to an end.

Little Gold, Big Bear, Little Bear, and the giant man-eating flowers stayed outside to clean up the battlefield, the Golden Horned Sky Beetle family returned to the Beast King's Palace, and the Spirit Dream Whale went into the moat to recuperate.

Mo Ming dragged his tired body back to his bedroom on the second floor, and the first thing he did was check the security radar.

The moat, which used to be teeming with wild beasts, has become deserted ever since the arrival of the Spirit Dream Whale. Even the deep blue-level ferocious beast that can't swim has disappeared.

It seems they were intimidated by the aura of the Dream Whale. After all, the Dream Whale is known for its strong sense of territory, and no one wants to provoke this behemoth. Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken over the area around the lake on its own.

Mo Ming had initially thought that the Emperor Crocodile might be hiding in the moat to conserve its energy, but it turned out that it wasn't.

With the matter of the Emperor Crocodile settled, Mo Ming took out the two spoils of war he had just captured from his spatial ring.

[Azure Wolf Bone Blade: Deep Blue Grade]

Trait (Wolf Howl): Swinging your sword has a chance to trigger the howl of the Azure Bone Wolf, which is terrifying!

Introduction: Face the howling wolves!

The blade of the Green Wolf Bone Knife is relatively wide and has an overall bluish-green color. It is engraved with some slightly complex patterns, and the handle is wrapped with several layers of gray bandages, giving it a somewhat ancient and solemn feel.

Looking at its information, it turns out to be a weapon with special properties. Ordinary weapons don't usually have any extra effects, but any weapon with special properties is extremely valuable.

However, with the Bronze Demon-Suppressing Sword, Mo Ming doesn't really need any other weapons. What he needs now is protective gear, such as armor.

The Bronze Demon-Suppressing Sword is now also a Deep Blue level weapon, and its two characteristics are far superior to those of the Wolf Howl. So Mo Ming put it on the Deep Blue level stall in his No. 1 Shop, temporarily replacing the fruit wine.

Price: 8000 Ancient Coins.

This price was determined by Mo Ming with reference to the transaction prices of deep blue-grade artifacts in the Mist Shop.

Mo Ming wasn't worried about finding buyers for this weapon with its special features, so he simply set the price a little higher.

[Carriage Design Blueprints: Dark Blue Level]

Materials: 100 units of black iron, 100 units of wood, 50 units of rubber, 100 units of grass

Description: A fully equipped horse-drawn carriage, the perfect choice for moving and hauling goods.

P.S.: Lalamove is the logistics provider for the Mist World!

This blueprint caught Mo Ming's eye. The space ring had limited space and couldn't hold living things. If he wanted to put fruit trees or something, he would have to ask Xiong Da and Xiong Er to move them every time, which was a bit of a waste of its potential.

With the big carriage, this job can be left to the Golden Horned Longhorn Beetle from now on!

How leisurely and wonderful it would be to explore by oxcart!

(Kim Il-sung/Kim II/.../Kim V: Protest!)

(Author's note: Protests are in vain, be content. Your master even wants to feed the human-eating flower dirt...)

Inputting the blueprints into the workbench, Mo Ming quickly manufactured five large carriages using the available materials, placing them one by one at the entrance of the Beast King's Palace, intending to give them a surprise after the polar night passed.

(Kim Jong-un: Are you sure it's a surprise?)

Beep beep!

The bracelet sent a message notification.

Liu Heng: Bro, did you get that Green Wolf Bone Blade from a monster? It's so cool!

Upon seeing the message from Liu Heng, Mo Ming went to Shop No. 1 to check, and sure enough, the knife had already been bought, and the buyer's name was Liu Heng.

This is truly a case of the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple, with the fortune going to a friend instead. Mo Ming gave an awkward laugh.

Mo Ming: I'm glad Brother Liu likes it.

Liu Heng: I like it, I really like it. You have no idea, I've always wanted a knife like this.

Liu Heng: I've never seen anything like this in the Mist Shop before. I was thinking of buying some fruit wine from your shop to celebrate today, but I unexpectedly found it, hahaha.

Liu Heng: I wish I could sleep with it now.

Mo Ming: Celebrating? Looks like Brother Liu's evaluation results were quite ideal!

Liu Heng: Hehe, I was lucky enough to get an A grade.

Liu Heng: Brother, what about you? You got top grade too, right...?

Mo Ming: Hehe, lucky me, lucky me!

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two ended their conversation. Unable to resist the drowsiness, Mo Ming collapsed onto the bed and, without even taking off his clothes, drifted off to sleep.

But I had a strange dream.

In the dream, a huge crack suddenly appeared in front of Mo Ming's shelter. The crack was bottomless, like an endless abyss in the darkness.

Then his body involuntarily walked to the abyss. Just as Mo Ming was staring into the abyss, a huge crocodile suddenly slowly crawled out of the abyss. Judging from its appearance, it was the same Emperor Crocodile that had escaped from the sanctuary!

In a panic, Mo Ming ran towards the shelter, calling out the pets' names as he ran.

However, there was no response.

The emperor crocodile behind him didn't seem to be in a hurry to enjoy this feast, and leisurely followed behind Mo Ming.

But even though it was much slower than Mo Ming, Mo Ming couldn't increase the distance between them.

It was as if there was some special bond between the two of them; no matter how fast Mo Ming ran, the Emperor Crocodile would always follow him not far behind.

Having finally reached the gate of the shelter, Mo Ming was overjoyed and rushed straight through the gate.

Behind him, the Emperor Crocodile's cold eyes revealed a hint of mockery.

As soon as Mo Ming's body passed through the gate, a bottomless, enormous crack appeared beneath his feet. Before he could react, Mo Ming fell directly into the endless abyss he had been staring at.

During the descent, Mo Ming opened his eyes and suddenly saw two purple orbs of light floating above the crack, like the eyes of ferocious beasts.

And the crack gradually closed, and Mo Ming fell into the abyss, disappearing into the darkness...

"what!!!"

Mo Ming suddenly woke up with a start. He sat up and stared wide-eyed, as if the scene from just moments ago was still vivid in his mind.

Touching his forehead, which was covered in sweat, Mo Ming sat blankly on the bed with his head down, his eyes still showing a hint of fear, and a sense of lingering dread welled up inside him.

Although it was a dream, it felt so real. I had only seen the Emperor Crocodile once before, yet it entered my dream. And that abyss rift was terrifying!

After a while, Mo Ming, having calmed down, slowly raised his head to wash his face, only to find two purple spinning wheels floating in the air.

A faint smile finally appeared on her pale face.

"The reward has finally been issued!"
