Chapter 150 Coming Out



Chapter 150 Coming Out

Mo Ming stood in the cave in the rocky mountain, looking up at the water droplets dripping from the cracks in the rocks, his face full of disbelief.

The mountain was full of hard rocks, barren of any vegetation, not to mention trees, even thorns were hard to find, it looked like a complete dead land.

However, Mengling sent back a shocking response—there was a huge pool of water at the top of the mountain! This news stirred up a huge wave in Mo Ming's heart.

"How is this possible?" Mo Ming muttered to himself, his eyes fixed on the dripping water droplets, as if trying to find some clue.

Logically speaking, this dripping phenomenon was simply rainwater accumulating in the depressions at the top of the mountain and naturally seeping down, nothing special. But Mengling's words forced him to re-examine this rocky mountain.

The pool at the mountaintop seems to be telling a secret that no one knows, and it is probably no accident that King Jinling chose to sleep here.

“Perhaps, there are other secrets hidden on this rocky mountain…” Mo Ming’s eyes gradually hardened. A crazy idea suddenly popped into his mind, one that even he found unbelievable, but the more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

"Big Bear!" He turned to look at his pet Big Bear, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "Can we dig upwards from where these water droplets are falling, all the way to the pool at the top of the mountain?"

After listening, Xiong Da thought for a moment, then nodded and let out a deep roar, indicating that there was no problem at all.

Upon seeing this, Mo Ming was overjoyed and immediately began to act. He knew that this matter had to be handled with extreme caution, and that he could not let Vista outside the cave entrance notice anything unusual.

Bista, the sole survivor of the monkey-faced tribe, harbors a deep-seated hatred for Mo Ming and is currently guarding the cave entrance, ready to kill him at any moment. To cover up the noise of Xiong Da digging, Mo Ming decides to personally go and stall Bista.

"Mengling, grow bigger!" At Mo Ming's command, Mengling's body rapidly expanded, becoming as huge as a small mountain, its broad back just big enough for Mo Ming and Xiong Da to stand on.

Big Bear jumped onto Mengling's back, stood firmly, raised his huge bear paw to brace against the rocks above the cave, and activated his Rock Smash talent.

With a soft "boom," a piece of rock was peeled off, revealing a small patch of fresh stone. Xiong Da's movements were swift and precise, controlling his strength and sound so that no one outside would notice anything unusual.

At the same time, Mo Ming lit a torch, walked to the bottom of the cave entrance, and looked up at Vista outside. His face was grave and anxious as he shouted, "Vista, are you really going to keep this up with me forever?"

Upon hearing Mo Ming's voice, Vista peeked out, coldly snorted, and his eyes were filled with hatred: "Mo Ming, stop trying to play any tricks! I'm here today to kill you, to appease the spirits of my Monkey-Faced Tribe!"

Mo Ming was secretly pleased to see that Vista was indeed attracted, but he showed an angry expression on his face.

He deliberately raised his voice, mocking, "Monkey-faced tribe? Hahaha! You're probably the only one left in your tribe, aren't you? All alone, without even a helper for revenge, how pathetic!"

Bista was enraged by these words. His face turned ashen, and he gritted his teeth as he retorted, "Hmph! Keep laughing all you want. Let's see how long you can keep gloating in there!"

After saying that, Vista turned and left for a while. Mo Ming's heart tightened. Could this guy have some accomplices?

Bista returned quickly, carrying a huge rock in his arms. He sneered and pushed the rock forcefully against the cave entrance, completely blocking the exit. Then he laughed triumphantly, "Moming, enjoy your last moments, hahahaha!"

The moment the entrance was blocked, the cave plunged into darkness, with only the torch in Mo Ming's hand casting a faint glow. As if enraged, Mo Ming shouted towards the entrance, "Vista, you bastard! Move the rock! Ah—!"

However, the next second, Mo Ming's angry expression vanished instantly, replaced by a smug smile. He turned and walked towards where Xiong Da and Meng Ling were, whispering, "Well done, keep digging."

Xiong Da didn't stop, continuing to swing his paws, peeling away pieces of rock one by one. As time passed, the top of the cave was gradually cleared.

Wisps of moist air seeped down from above, making the sound of the water droplets clearer. The seeping water gradually grew larger, slowly turning from droplets into a small stream.

Mo Ming looked up and seemed to be able to see the legendary pool.

"Almost there, almost there," Mo Ming murmured, his eyes filled with anticipation. He knew that the secret of this stone mountain was about to be revealed, and that pool of water might hold the true reason why the Golden Spirit King slept here, or even greater secrets awaited his exploration.

At this moment, Mengling's back remained as steady as a rock, and Xiongda's movements became faster and faster. The pets' tacit cooperation made Mo Ming feel extremely at ease. If they just persevered a little longer, they would reach the top of the mountain and uncover the truth about the pool.

Meanwhile, outside the cave entrance, Vista remained smugly seated beside the boulder, completely unaware of what was unfolding inside. He believed he had trapped Mo Ming to death in the cave, unaware that Mo Ming already had another plan and was steadily marching towards victory.

Mo Ming glanced back at the blocked cave entrance, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said in a low voice, "Vista, just you wait. We'll settle this score properly when I emerge from the mountaintop."

As the last two rocks were removed, a stream of cool water suddenly cascaded down from above the passage, like a silver waterfall, pouring straight into the cave.

The sound of the rushing water echoed in the confined space, sounding particularly powerful. Mo Ming and Xiong Da quickly climbed onto Meng Ling's back, covering their mouths and noses to avoid being choked by the sudden flow of water.

Mengling remained calm and composed, her body trembling slightly as she steadily carried the two of them, like a whale-shaped elevator, going against the current.

Despite the swift current, Mengling moved with ease, her enormous body swaying nimbly in the water, carrying Mo Ming and Xiong Da upstream.

The cool sensation of the water splashing on his face invigorated Mo Ming, and his heart raced, both from nervousness and anticipation. Finally, with Meng Ling's powerful leap, they broke free of the water's pull and surfaced.

As soon as Mo Ming's head broke the surface of the water, he felt a sudden sense of openness. Sunlight filtered through the thin clouds, shimmering on the water's surface, making the whole world seem brighter. He took a deep breath, feeling the long-lost fresh air, and a surge of joy welled up inside him.

However, he did not linger and immediately took out the water-absorbing bead and began to absorb the water in the pool.

The water droplet emitted a faint blue light, and the water seemed to be drawn into it by an invisible force. The water level in the pool dropped at a visible speed, even absorbing the water accumulated in the cave.

Mo Ming was stunned when the pool was completely dry.
