Chapter 281 Ghost Marquis
Liang Dongshan didn't react at all to Sun Miaoke's aura. Could it be that he also...?
【notify!】
[Since all six color exchange cards have been discovered, the exchange shop is now open.]
The exchange shop may randomly spawn anywhere within the instance.
The location of the exchange shop will be marked by a towering pillar of light.
Please be informed.
The sudden notification instantly brought Mo Ming back to reality, and he finally realized that a whole day had passed and he hadn't found a single redemption card.
They were too busy being fishermen!
"Six-color exchange card? Grayish-white, pale yellow, emerald green, dark blue, crimson, and bright orange, exactly six colors, indeed corresponding to the grade."
Mo Ming muttered to himself, "Someone has actually found a Radiant Orange-level exchange card. A chosen one!"
"I wonder what kind of rare items are in the exchange shop. I need to hurry up and look for some exchange cards."
Mo Ming thought there might be things that had never been seen outside, such as the Soul Cards in the Secret Realm.
Having made up his mind, Mo Ming glanced at the two people healing by the lake, then turned and quietly left.
Because of the existence of Ghost Marquis, he no longer wants to have any dealings with the two of them, and he just hopes they won't bother him.
Liang Dongshan, in particular, repeatedly picked fights with them.
After Mo Ming left, Sun Miaoke, who had been meditating with her eyes closed, suddenly opened them, turned her head to look in the direction Mo Ming had left, a meaningful look flashing in her eyes, before closing her eyes again.
After leaving the lakeside woods, Mo Ming had already walked several kilometers without seeing a single exchange card. He had killed quite a few ferocious beasts, but unfortunately, they all produced deep blue-level soul cards, mostly of the earth attribute.
"Jie Jie Jie..."
"who!"
The eerie laughter that suddenly reached his ears made Mo Ming jump like a startled rabbit, standing with his sword drawn and in a defensive stance.
"Jie Jie Jie..."
"Jie Jie Jie..."
Mo Ming finally realized something was wrong; the sound was too close!
"Jie Jie Jie..."
"Hmm? It came from your hand?"
Mo Ming stared intently at his left hand, which was adorned with a spatial bracelet, and was taken aback.
There is only one item in this bracelet: the blue stone tablet that seals the Gluttonous Ghost Lord.
Is he out?
No, if he comes out, I'll probably be the first to die. Since there's only laughter and no one in sight, it can only mean that the seal on the bluestone tablet has weakened a bit, and its power has seeped out.
Mo Ming felt a pang of emotion; he had indeed neglected this guy during this time.
"The Gluttonous Ghost Marquis?"
"Hehehe... You've got some knowledge!"
Mo Ming frowned, staring intently at the spatial bracelet, and asked in a deep voice, "Why can you communicate with me through this spatial ring?"
The Gluttonous Ghost Lord let out a disdainful laugh, "Hehehe... What's so difficult about this? With your weak soul power, you naturally can't understand it."
Soul power?
Mo Ming gritted his teeth, suppressing his anger, and asked again, "Then why did you pretend to be dead before, but suddenly speak up now?"
"Hmph, trying to trick me into revealing information?" Tao Mie Gui Hou snorted coldly, clearly not wanting to pay any attention.
Mo Ming smiled wickedly, a sly glint in his eyes. "You didn't sense the presence of a companion, or rather, someone of your kind, did you?"
"Oh?"
The voice of the Gluttonous Ghost Marquis carried a hint of shock.
Seeing this, Mo Ming continued, "You haven't forgotten the place where the blue stone tablet sealed you, have you?"
You're probably familiar with the other characters inside, aren't you? That girl from earlier, like me, went inside before.
"No wonder!"
The voice of the Gluttonous Ghost Marquis held a hint of realization, but quickly returned to its sinister tone, "Hmph, even so, what does it have to do with you? Boy, don't think that knowing a few things will give you the power to control me."
Mo Ming sneered, "How could it be unrelated to me? You're trapped now, and I can help you, or I can ensure you never recover. Tell me, what's the deal with that girl's aura, and what's your connection to it?"
The Gluttonous Ghost Marquis scoffed, "You? You're nothing but an ant struggling to survive in this messed-up world. You dare to dream of helping me? Don't overestimate yourself."
Mo Ming's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. "Ants? So what? If I can get the stone tablet that seals you, I can also find a way to completely obliterate you. If you don't cooperate, we can just part ways."
Tao Mie Gui Hou remained silent for a moment, as if weighing the pros and cons, before slowly speaking: "The aura on that girl's body is related to a certain being in the sealed land. That being has some connection with me, but you are not qualified to know the specifics."
Mo Ming frowned deeply. "Stop trying to fool me. What do you mean I'm not qualified to know? If I know your identity, do you think I wouldn't know about the other members of the Four Ghost Marquises? My patience is limited. Don't force me to mess with you."
The Gluttonous Ghost Marquis chuckled sinisterly, "You? The seal on this blue stone tablet was already on the verge of collapse. If you anger me and break through the seal, you will be the first to die."
Mo Ming felt a chill run down his spine, but he still tried to remain calm. "Don't try to scare me. If you could break the seal, you would have already done it. Why are you talking tough to me like this?"
"All you've done now is wear away a sliver of the sealing power of the stone tablet. Want to get out? Hmph! That'll be a long time coming!"
The Gluttonous Ghost Marquis sneered, "Believe it or not, boy. If you want to survive in this secret realm, perhaps cooperating with me is the best course of action."
Mo Ming's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't rush to express his opinion. "Cooperation? Answer my question first, then we can talk about cooperation."
Tao Mie Gui Hou was so angry he gritted his teeth, but the kid wouldn't listen to reason.
"That girl is not herself anymore!"
Mo Ming was shocked. Although he had guessed it before, he was still somewhat shocked when the Ghost Lord Tao Mie said it. The worst outcome... had happened.
"Which Ghost Marquis is it?" Mo Ming asked calmly.
"Kid, don't push your luck."
"Never mind, goodbye."
"You..." Tao Mie Gui Hou was furious, but there was nothing he could do. Now he was the one who needed Mo Ming's help.
After all, it's unrealistic to expect to break free from the seal as quickly as possible by gradually wearing it down on your own.
"Broken Dream!"
Lord of Nightmare Broken!
Mo Ming had previously learned a little about the abilities of the Four Ghost Lords from Duo Duo and the others.
Marquis Duanmengyan is skilled in illusions and mental attacks, and can also manipulate dreams.
This is also why Mo Ming is so eager to know who possessed Sun Miaoke. He needs to be prepared, as he holds the blue stone tablet and might be visited by someone at any time.
"Kid, I've answered your question. Now it's time to talk about cooperation, isn't it?"
"What to talk about?"
"cooperate!"
"Oh!"
"Oh? You want to back out?"
"What do you mean by going back on your word? What did I promise you?" Mo Ming acted as if he had nothing to lose.
"I just said I'd answer the questions first, then we'd talk about cooperation!"
"Am I not bringing this up now?"
"Oh! I refuse to cooperate!"
"You! How dare you play tricks on me?" The Gluttonous Ghost Marquis wished he could tear Mo Ming to pieces.
"You son of a bitch!"
"I'm going to kill you! You know how skilled Ghost Master is..."
"You son of a bitch!"
"..."
