Chapter 343 Old Man of Nanshan
Mo Ming smiled, his tone slightly teasing: "Meng Ling, when did you become so polite? We've been through life and death together, no need for such formalities."
Mengling's voice carried a hint of amusement: "Perhaps it's because my intelligence has increased after my advancement. However, Master, you must be careful. Those beings are targeting not only me, but also you."
Mo Ming was stunned for a moment, then realized: "You mean, they'll attack me too?"
Mengling's voice turned serious: "Yes. You have special marks and spiritual energy fluctuations on your body, and those beings are likely to see you as a threat. You must improve your strength as soon as possible to deal with the impending crisis."
Mo Ming nodded, a determined glint in his eyes: "I understand."
Mengling's voice rang out again, tinged with a hint of weariness: "Alright, Master. I need some time to adapt to my new power. You should go and prepare as well."
Mo Ming nodded solemnly and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, Meng Ling. We will definitely get through this crisis together."
After saying that, Mo Ming turned and left the cliff edge, heading towards the core area of the shelter. Meng Ling also dived into the deeper parts of the ocean.
Mo Ming's heart was filled with complex emotions, including joy at Meng Ling's advancement and worry about the impending crisis.
When he returned to the shelter, Lala had already gathered everyone in the core area. Everyone wore expressions of tension and unease, clearly having sensed the spiritual energy fluctuations brought about by Dream Spirit's advancement.
Mo Ming walked up to the group, took a deep breath, and said loudly, "Don't panic, everyone! Meng Ling has advanced to the Radiant Orange level, which is a great thing for us! However, we may face some powerful enemies next, so everyone must be prepared!"
Upon hearing this, the tension on everyone's faces eased slightly. Lala stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Chief, what do we need to do?"
Mo Ming's gaze was firm as he said in a deep voice, "From this moment on, everyone is on high alert! Strengthen the defensive barrier of the shelter, and dispatch reconnaissance teams to closely monitor the surrounding area. Report any unusual activity immediately!"
......
The ark of the eastern capital city moved slowly forward in the raging floodwaters, its massive hull cutting through the murky surface and splashing up layers of spray.
The sky was overcast, thick with dark clouds that seemed ready to press down at any moment. On the deck of the ark, the pathfinders busily operated various exploration equipment, trying to find a safe route in this flooded world.
Suddenly, a special terrain exploration tool in the hands of a pathfinder emitted a rapid "beep beep" sound.
He glanced down at the screen, his pupils contracted sharply, and an expression of disbelief crossed his face. He quickly adjusted the equipment parameters, and after confirming the data was correct, he immediately turned and ran towards the command center.
"Captain Ye! An anomaly has been detected five kilometers ahead!" The Pathfinder pushed open the door to the command cabin, panting, his voice filled with barely concealed excitement.
Ye Ming was standing in front of the command platform, his brows furrowed as he stared at the holographic map before him. Hearing the Pathfinder's report, he looked up, his gaze sharp: "What's the anomaly? Explain in detail."
The Pathfinder handed the equipment in his hand to Ye Ming, and a three-dimensional terrain map was displayed on the screen.
Above the flood, a huge island floated high in the sky, surrounded by a light mist, as if it were isolated from the world.
"This...this is a floating island?"
A hint of shock flashed in Ye Ming's eyes.
He quickly zoomed in on the image, examining the island's details closely. The island's surface was covered in dense vegetation, and the outlines of some buildings and facilities were vaguely visible, clearly indicating that it was not a natural formation.
"Report the situation to Elder Su immediately!" Ye Ming ordered in a deep voice, then turned and walked towards the communications station.
A few minutes later, an image of Elder Su appeared in the command center. He was wearing a gray robe, with a serious expression and deep eyes.
After listening to Ye Ming's report, he pondered for a moment and slowly said, "An island floating in the air... this is definitely not an ordinary thing. Ye Ming, immediately arrange for an elite team to go and investigate."
Remember, proceed with extreme caution; this island may harbor dangers we cannot foresee.
Ye Ming nodded, his tone firm: "Understood, Elder Su. I will personally lead the team to ensure everything goes smoothly."
Old Su nodded slightly, his eyes showing a hint of approval and hesitation: "I am naturally at ease with you leading the team. However, I have an important matter here that I need you to do, which is rather urgent. Let Hu Zhen lead the team to handle the matter of the floating island."
Ye Ming nodded, "Yes!"
He always obeyed Su Zhenguo's orders unconditionally.
Ye Ming quickly relayed Elder Su's orders, arranging for Hu Zhen to lead an elite squad to the floating island for reconnaissance.
Hu Zhen is the deputy captain of the guards of the city lord's mansion in the main city of the East. He is experienced and has considerable strength, and Ye Ming trusts him very much.
"Hu Zhen, this mission is of utmost importance. We know nothing about the situation on the floating island, so we must proceed with extreme caution." Ye Ming patted Hu Zhen on the shoulder, his tone tinged with seriousness.
Hu Zhen nodded, his gaze firm: "Don't worry, Captain Ye. I will act cautiously to ensure the team's safety."
Ye Ming nodded and watched as Hu Zhen led his team onto the aircraft and sped off towards the floating island.
Then, he turned and walked towards the holographic image of Elder Su, and asked in a low voice, "Elder Su, you just said that you have an urgent mission that I need to handle. What is it?"
The holographic image of Elder Su flickered slightly, his gaze deep and solemn, as if he were weighing something.
After a moment, he slowly said, "Ye Ming, a mysterious person suddenly appeared at Chief Xuanyuan's residence, claiming that he wanted to discuss cooperation with us."
This person's origins are unknown, but their strength is extremely powerful; preliminary assessment suggests they have reached a realm beyond the Spirit Realm.
"Above the Spirit Realm?" Ye Ming's pupils contracted sharply, his heart filled with shock. What could be the purpose of such a person's sudden appearance?
"Elder Su, do you have any clues about this person's identity and background?" Ye Ming asked in a deep voice, his tone tinged with wariness.
Elder Su shook his head, his brow furrowed: "It's still unclear. He claims to be a native cultivator from the 'Misty World,' his name is Elder Nanshan..."
His appearance came without warning, without even triggering our defensive barrier. If Chief Xuanyuan hadn't personally received us, we'd probably still be completely unaware.
Ye Ming's brows furrowed tightly, a vague unease creeping into his heart.
"Elder Su, this person's sudden appearance and offer to cooperate suggest his motives are not simple," Ye Ming said in a low voice, his tone tinged with worry.
Old Su nodded, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes: "Your concerns are not unfounded. That's precisely why I hoped you could attend this meeting."
Your insight and judgment are unmatched among the younger generation; with you present, we have a greater chance of success.
Ye Ming nodded solemnly: "Understood, Elder Su, I will do my best."
