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

In the time that followed, Mo Ming spent his time in the shelter taking baths, drinking, watching short videos, and occasionally fiddling with his workbench to replenish his No. 1 Shop's inventory...

As soon as Mo Ming opened his eyes that day, he looked out the window of his second-floor bedroom and saw not darkness, but a bright sun, white clouds, and blue sky.

Finally, the polar night was over, and Mo Ming's mood immediately improved. Nobody wants to live in darkness forever, right?

Meanwhile, Mo Ming's shelter received a second piece of good news. After several battles against opponents of higher levels, and with the meat of deep blue-level beasts as a food source, Xiong Da and Xiong Er finally broke through to the deep blue level together when the polar night ended.

It has become the ceiling of Mo Ming's pet combat power, and its multiplication talent has also changed, increasing from 2 to 4 times.

At this point, Mo Ming now has nine deep blue-level combatants under his command, with only the Golden Horned Sky Bull family and the White-striped Antelope yet to break through.

As for the white-striped antelope, Mo Ming doesn't require it to reach a certain level. After all, it's not a combat-type pet. It's fine for it to just live a carefree and happy life in the sanctuary every day!

Among the nine deep blue-level combatants, the giant carnivorous plant is now over 15 meters tall with a trunk diameter of 1 meter. Its enormous size and slow movement speed limit its actions to some extent.

However, its vines cover a very wide area, making it unsuitable for outdoor combat, but perfect for defending the home.

The remaining four little ones possess abilities that perfectly cover the battlefields on land, sea, and air.

Furthermore, Lingmeng Whale and Xiong Da and Xiong Er can control the scaling of their size, making them very suitable for accompanying Mo Ming into battle.

Xiao Jin can patrol in the air or serve as an eagle-shaped vehicle to carry Mo Ming on his journey.

Checking the guardian radar, there wasn't even a single Emerald-level beast within a kilometer of the sanctuary.

(Author: Do you even need to look at the radar? With those nine deep blue-level ferocious beasts in your shelter, what wild animal wouldn't dare to roam around here?)

Regardless of whether they were willing or not, he quickly harnessed Jin Yi and Jin Er to the large carriage, and then Mo Ming leisurely drove the carriage to the forest to see if his trap had yielded any results.

On the carriage were also miniature versions of Xiong Da and Xiong Er, looking like two chubby little puppies, extremely cute.

While crossing the moat, Mo Ming noticed a problem.

The folding wooden bridge I bought some time ago is only for pedestrians; horse-drawn carriages cannot cross it.

Helpless, Mengling had no choice but to act as a boatman, carrying Mo Ming and the carriage across the river.

Mo Ming and his group soon arrived at the forest. Following the markings, Mo Ming quickly found the place where the traps were placed.

The result was a mixed bag.

Worryingly, three of the traps were not only empty, but also damaged. Judging from the deep footprints in the soil, they resembled those of a large, ferocious beast like a lion or tiger.

Fortunately, the other two traps were placed quite far away, and they actually contained goods.

One has five inside, and the other has seven.

Seeing such a harvest, Mo Ming couldn't help but give the trap merchant a big thumbs up.

This trap is not only large, but also very sturdy, and most importantly, it is a time-delay trap.

When prey enters the trap, the closing mechanism is not triggered. The door will only close when the amount of bait inside reaches a certain threshold.

One or two prey come in to forage, and other companions, seeing no danger, will also be tempted to come in. As the number of prey increases, the bait is consumed at a faster rate. When the threshold is reached, the trap is triggered, which is why so many prey are trapped inside and cannot get out.

Most of the prey in the trap look basically the same, with red fur covering their plump bodies and making grunting noises.

[Red-haired Wild Boar: Emerald Green]

Introduction: Red-haired wild boar is one of the smaller types of wild boar, but its meat is succulent and highly nutritious.

However, two of them stood out from the other wild boars. They were dark blue all over, with reddish bristles around their necks and backs. Although they looked like wild boars, they looked rather fierce.

The biggest difference is that while other wild boars have two hooves, these have claws like those of carnivores.

【Red-haired Boar: Emerald Green】

Description: An anomaly among wild boars, rare in number, reaching enormous sizes as adults, and a powerful predator in the mountains and forests...

"Looks like we're in luck; we even caught two rare species." Mo Ming nodded happily.

Mo Ming's large wagon could only fit one trap, so he simply put all the wild boars inside and transported them back to the shelter and sent them to the breeding farm.

The two red-haired boars, one male and one female, are ready to reproduce once they reach adulthood. Mo Ming is confident that the rare red-haired boar population will flourish here.

The other three red-haired wild boars were male, while the remaining seven were female. To this, Mo Ming could only say, "The capable should do more work!"

In the following period, Mo Ming managed his planting base, fish pond and breeding farm at the shelter, and occasionally exercised.

Time quickly came to the day when Elder Su summoned the survivors to gather.

Mo Ming contacted Lu Mingyu and arranged to meet at Su Lao's gathering place. The fewer people who knew the coordinates of the shelter, the better.

After some consideration, Mo Ming decided to take Xiong Da, Xiong Er, and Meng Ling with him, while Xiao Jin stayed behind to help Cui Hua prepare sauerkraut and guard the house.

The main reason is that Xiao Jin is too conspicuous, and Mo Ming still wants to keep a low profile.

Xiong Da and Xiong Er shrunk to the size of little bears and perched on Mo Ming's shoulder, while Meng Ling became even smaller and snuggled directly into Mo Ming's arms.

Feeling the chubby little ones squeezing against him, Mo Ming felt incredibly warm and happy, experiencing a sense of family bliss.

Just as I was about to set off, a cold, mechanical voice suddenly rang in my ears.

[Mist Announcement]

Congratulations to all survivors for successfully surviving the polar night!

Starting today, the wristband's analytics function will be disabled, and information alerts will no longer appear when wild creatures are spotted.

[Teleportation array orbs are temporarily disabled; the Crimson Purple item section is now open in the Mist Shop.]

[The next round of disaster will begin in seven days.]

[Some mysterious guests will also be present at that time.]

Best of luck!

This announcement was short, but it contained a lot of key information.

First of all, the most important thing about the bracelet has been nerfed again. After the disassembly function was removed, the analysis function has now also encountered problems, which makes Mo Ming a little depressed.

It will be more difficult to understand this world in the future.

Furthermore, the teleportation array orb has been disabled, making it difficult for people to meet in the future. It is unknown whether the opening of the Crimson Purple Zone will bring some similar items as compensation.

Secondly, with only seven days until the next disaster, there is not enough time to prepare.

Finally, who is the mysterious guest?

Beast?

Treasure Merchant?

Or... natives of the misty world?

Mo Ming felt increasingly uneasy the more he thought about it.

Regardless of who the mysterious guest was, Mo Ming had a very bad feeling about him.

......

At the same time the fog announcement sounded, deep underground, an unknown number of meters below, a crocodile was lying prostrate beneath a giant Buddha statue.

The crocodile's eyes were closed, as if it were asleep.

The Buddha statue had blood-red eyes, from which bright red liquid continuously seeped, flowing onto its face, neck, and body... exuding an eerie aura from the inside out.

Suddenly, the Buddha statue's mouth gaped open, blood flowing into it and staining some of its teeth red, and it... just kept smiling eerily, smiling...

"Jiejiejie..."
