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

Chapter 231 The Gluttonous Ghost Marquis

"Chief, this...this armor actually...has special properties? And these properties...are perfect for me!" Lia looked at Mo Ming in surprise, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"Hehehe, if you like it, that's fine. Go ahead, show off in front of them tomorrow during the day!" Mo Ming waved his hand, turned around and went upstairs.

With Liya's intelligence, how could she not understand Mo Ming's intention? It was simply to motivate everyone and raise their expectations and motivation.

Watching Mo Ming's retreating figure, a warm feeling welled up in Lia's heart. Could this be considered... having roots?

It has to be said that the past few days have been incredibly tiring, especially the series of battles in the ruins; Mo Ming was completely exhausted. Back in his bedroom, Mo Ming collapsed onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

the next day.

Mo Ming didn't get out of bed until the sun was high in the sky. He went to the yard, stood next to Shang Shang, and called Xiong Da and Xiong Er over to stand on either side.

He then carefully took out the cyan stone tablet from his spatial wristband and placed it on the ground.

However, the imagined white aura did not appear, and the stone tablet remained there quietly.

The evil spirits inside seemed to be just a relief sculpture, with nothing unusual about them.

"What is the origin of this stone tablet? And who sealed the evil spirit inside?"

Mo Ming stared at the stone tablet in front of him, muttering to himself, his head full of question marks.

If it weren't for the concern that cutting down the stone tablet would release evil spirits, Mo Ming would have already used the Demon-Suppressing Sword to split it open and find out what was going on.

Unfortunately, he didn't have the courage, and he didn't want to give up on the stone tablet that might contain treasures. Helpless, he could only sigh as he looked at the stone tablet.

"leader!"

"leader!"

……

Suddenly, shouts rang out; it was Manmon and Tark.

Mo Ming turned around and, wow, everyone was there! All six of them had arrived!

"what happened?"

"Chief, is the black armor Leah is wearing really a reward from you?" Kane asked first.

“That’s right, she did a great job on her mission to survey the island, so I gave it to her.”

Wow! So cool!

"Chief, did you forge that armor?"

"Chief! Do we also have a chance to obtain it?"

……

For a moment, everyone started asking their questions.

"Stop, stop, stop!" Mo Ming gestured.

"I will answer your questions one by one. First of all, I did not build this armor; I obtained it by chance."

Upon hearing this, apart from Liya and Duoduo, the others all showed a hint of disappointment in their eyes.

Unexpectedly, Mo Ming's next words rekindled their hope.

"However, I have its design blueprints. As long as the materials are available, manufacturing the armor will not be a problem."

Mo Ming's lips curled up slightly. It seemed that Liya had understood his words perfectly, and this boasting was spot on.

"What? Lia already showed you the armor?"

"That's not all, Chief. This morning, Lia called us together and said she was going to torture us."

"How could I let her look down on me with my short temper... However..." Kane said, gesturing with his hands.

"But it was all for naught. Lia took us all down by herself, and she did it all at once." Tark shrugged, expressing his helplessness.

Everyone knows Lia is fierce, but this is a bit too fierce, isn't it?

"After she beat us up, she bragged to us that the armor you rewarded her with gave her a boost. Now, everyone is really envious, so we all came over."

Stone said sullenly.

"Hahaha, Lia is so strong! Let's have a solo match sometime."

Mo Ming was also somewhat shocked by Liya's strength. She was able to take on five combatants at the same time, and they were a combination of ranged and melee combat. Even with the Black Gold Spirit Cat Armor, it was not enough to completely overwhelm them.

It's more likely due to Lia's own strength and her perfect use of the Black Gold Cat Armor's properties.

“Okay!” Liya looked at Mo Ming, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Having been here for so long, she had never seen the leader truly make a move, and she was curious about just how strong the leader was.

Mo Ming nodded slightly, "Next, let's talk about the topic you're most interested in: the Black Gold Beast Armor, the one that Liya is wearing."

"As long as you perform exceptionally well in future missions, the armor will definitely satisfy you."

"Great!"

"Yes!"

"Great!"

"Nice!"

"hey-hey!"

Everyone was very happy with Mo Ming's promise.

"Huh? Chief, that stone tablet behind you looks kind of familiar."

Duoduo noticed the stone tablet from the beginning, and just now she had been thinking that the relief on it seemed to be somewhere she had seen it before.

Upon hearing Duoduo say that she might have seen him before, Mo Ming quickly stepped aside so that Duoduo could take a good look.

Others also gathered around.

"Looking closely, I think I've seen this evil spirit before. I think I saw its picture in my grandfather's book." Man Meng scratched his head, trying to recall.

I was just worried about not knowing its origin! Now, suddenly we're both familiar with it.

“Duoduo, Manmeng, have you really seen it? I brought this stone tablet out of a ruin.”

"Chief, what do those ruins look like?" Duoduo asked Mo Ming curiously.

"What does it look like...? The outside of the ruins isn't anything special, except for the addition of a barrier. Inside, the most prominent feature is that there are eight passageways."

It appears to be arranged according to the Eight Gates Formation, with a character representing the eight gates above each passage.

I brought this stone tablet out of the ancient battlefield behind the Gate of Death.

Next, Mo Ming gave them a brief account of the situation on the ancient battlefield, going into as much detail as possible.

Mo Ming also knew that the more information he provided, the more helpful it would be for the two of them to recall their memories.

"The Eight Gates Formation? Isn't that..."

"I remembered!"

The two spoke almost simultaneously, both showing expressions of great surprise.

"What's with that expression? Is it something important?"

"Our leader, its background can't be described as grand, it can only be described as very powerful..."

Duoduo and Manmeng exchanged a glance, then stared at the stone tablet.

"I have seen relevant records in my grandfather's notes. The evil spirit in this stone tablet should be Tao Mie Gui Hou, one of the four great ghost lords of our Mo Luo Star."

Before my grandfather became the Demon Suppressor, the Four Ghost Lords were already infamous on Moro Star, wreaking havoc in the region.

Later, the leaders of the eight clans gathered together, lured them out, and then launched a full-scale war against the four ghost lords at a designated location.

To prevent them from escaping, the high priest of the Po tribe, Bharami, used himself as a catalyst to activate the Eight Gates Demon-Binding Array.

He imprisoned all eight clan leaders, including himself, along with the four Ghost Lords, inside the Demon-Imprisoning Array for a final battle to the death.
