Chapter 232 Fog Hidden Island
Whenever the name of the leader of the eight clans is mentioned, a look of excitement appears on Duoduo's face, as if she has met her idol.
They were familiar with the titles of the Eight Clans and the Four Ghost Lords, but they had no way of knowing the secrets of that time. Now that someone was explaining them, they listened intently.
"Are those four Ghost Lords also from your Moro Star?" Mo Ming's interest in them grew stronger.
Man Meng pouted, a hint of helplessness in his eyes, "They are indeed from Moro Star, but it is said that they are not human."
Since that decisive battle, there has been no news of the Four Ghost Lords. People believe that they perished together with the Eight Tribes' Leaders.
did not expect……"
Mo Ming squinted, a faint unease creeping into his heart. The Gluttonous Ghost Marquis was definitely not dead; he had merely been suppressed by the cyan stone tablet.
Does that mean we can assume the other three Ghost Lords didn't die either, and that it's highly likely...
Mo Ming dared not think any further. He wasn't worried about Ghost Lord breaking free and continuing to wreak havoc on the world. To be honest, he didn't really care what the Misty Continent was like.
Anyway, there are enemies on all sides: ferocious beasts, survivors, and the endless abyss... I don't care if there's one more Ghost Marquis.
What Mo Ming was really worried about was whether any of the people who entered the ruins had also encountered the door to the sealed Ghost Lord, and whether they had been bewitched... or rather... controlled.
If they were to possess your body and resurrect you, you might be tricked by them without warning in the future.
Recalling the strange look in Sun Miaoke's eyes when he inadvertently mentioned that "it might be a demon sealed in the Wounded Gate that has broken free," he inexplicably got goosebumps all over his body.
And then there's Liang Dongshan, who keeps staring at me like a jerk.
The other three seemed fine, but we still need to be careful.
Moreover, we must find an opportunity to confirm this matter.
"leader……?"
"what?"
Hearing someone call his name, Mo Ming snapped out of his reverie. "Duo Duo, Man Meng, you two have been a great help in this matter."
This secret is very important to me; I'll handle the rest.
From today onward, forget about these things and never mention them again, including the fact that I possess a stone tablet.
Remember? "
Mo Ming was speaking to everyone after that. He knew that he possessed the stone tablet and that it was absolutely forbidden for outsiders to know, especially the members of the alliance.
Although Duoduo and the others don't have many opportunities to come into contact with outsiders, it's always good to be careful.
Moreover, Mo Ming had a premonition that he might have to play some of his cards soon, which would likely include the recruits and the existence of the Sky Island.
"Ok!"
"Ok!"
……
Several people nodded in unison.
Although they didn't know why, since the leader had spoken so seriously, everyone had no choice but to comply.
Mo Ming then dismissed everyone and put the stone tablet back into his spatial wristband.
He activated his survival bracelet and made a call, "Hey, Song Xiaoniu..."
……
In the dimly lit underground chamber, Sun Miaoke and Liang Dongshan sat around an old stone table, on which lay a tattered map. The dim candlelight illuminated their solemn faces.
Sun Miaoke spoke in a low and urgent voice, "Dongshan, have you ever thought about what Mo Ming encountered in the Eight Gates Passage?"
As far as I know, he's not the kind of person who would say anything carelessly, but I noticed that when the wounded gate caught fire, he subconsciously uttered the words "break free from the seal."
Don't you think...that sounds really off?
Liang Dongshan pondered for a moment, then looked up at Sun Miaoke. "Is there any need to think about it? Of course something's wrong. What's even stranger is that when I repeatedly asked him what he gained from the Death Gate, he was very adamant and completely ignored me."
Upon hearing this, Sun Miaoke nodded slightly, her tone tinged with anxiety, "Yes, he didn't say, but I could sense that he must have seen something inside... or rather, encountered something!"
Moreover, that thing is definitely not a good thing; it might even be a demon.
If a demon is sealed within the Gate of Death, then the corresponding treasure must be extraordinary, possibly even the most crucial element of the entire ruins. I think we need to find out more.
Liang Dongshan frowned and said in a low voice, "We're on the same page. I'll tell you a secret, but don't tell anyone else. The fewer people who know about this, the better."
Sun Miaoke's eyes lit up, a sly glint flashing in their depths, before she feigned surprise and asked, "What secret? Did you obtain it from the ruins?"
“That’s right, I found something inside the door, some ancient secrets about this land.” Liang Dongshan nodded slowly, his eyes slightly evasive. He only mentioned that he had discovered secrets, without mentioning anything about the inheritance of the ascendants.
"Miao Ke, do you know the origin of these ruins?"
Sun Miaoke's pupils contracted slightly, and she held her breath. "Origin? I've always felt it was man-made..."
"No, this is a formation, its full name is the Eight Gates Demon-Imprisoning Formation..."
......
Meanwhile, Mo Ming only called Song Yufei, mainly to ask her if she had encountered anything like a stone tablet or other things that might seal away evil spirits in the ruins.
The answer was no!
Of the group, he trusted Song Yufei the most. He couldn't risk getting too close to Sun Miaoke and the others, otherwise, if Liu Heng mentioned it to Sun Miaoke, it would be like exposing his encounter with the evil spirit.
At the same time, he repeatedly warned Song Yufei not to reveal what he had asked her today, and to be especially careful around Sun Miaoke.
After hanging up the phone, Mo Ming repeatedly asked himself if he was being too sensitive. Even if he encountered Gui Hou in the ruins, it didn't mean he would definitely be bewitched by Gui Hou.
Whenever Mo Ming tried to persuade himself like this, the strange look in Sun Miaoke's eyes would reappear in his mind and linger there.
"Damn it, forget about it. So what if they know I have a stone tablet? I'll just do it!"
After shouting a couple of times at the air, Mo Ming stopped his internal strife, returned to the main hall, tidied up, and planned to go to Misty Island to take a look!
......
In the dense forest in the northwest of Misty Island, Merlin and his subordinates, including Ah Hu and seven or eight others, gathered in the jungle.
The campfire was dim, and from the highest point, a faint glimpse of the coastline could be seen. The atmosphere within the group was somewhat somber; Merlin was outlining their next steps on the island.
Ah Hu kicked the wet mud and said, "Brother Mei, the air on this island is damn oppressive. The fog never dissipates, and with those weird plants and mosquitoes, the brothers are starting to feel the strain."
Merlin sat on the pile of firewood, staring coldly at the simple hand-drawn map in his hand, and said, "What's a little hardship now? We are the first to officially set foot on this island, so it's okay to suffer a little first."
Once we completely control this resource-rich island, we can further strengthen the Yamaguchi Shrine's power. Then, that cannon-wielding dog on the Sky Island will have to kneel down and sing "Conquer!"
Upon hearing the Sky Island's cannon fire, Ah Hu spat and brandished his knife, his anger palpable. "Damn it, just thinking about him makes me furious. I didn't even see his face before he got bombarded with shells. I'll kill him sooner or later!"
"These rats are certainly cunning. But the more they are, the more valuable the items on the sky island are, making it worth fighting tooth and nail to steal them."
"But for now, let's take control of this resource island first. Once the people the vice president summoned from headquarters arrive, we'll go to the Sky Island and deal with them!" Mei Chuan said with a cold smile.
Ah Hu rubbed his hands excitedly, a fierce look on his face: "Brother Mei, I've been itching to get started. Just tell me what to do, we'll do whatever you say..."
"Let's leave it at that for now..."
