Chapter 148 Fragments
Chapter 148 Fragments
"here it is……?"
Mo Ming was stunned. The location shown on the tracking wheel in front of him was none other than the Stone Mountain that the treasure map had pointed to!
At that moment, a surge of tension and anticipation welled up in his heart.
The tension was palpable; Stone Mountain was not only the destination of the treasure map, but also the legendary abode of the Golden Spirit King. He wasn't sure if that mysterious and powerful being was still around.
The hope is that if the Golden Spirit King has left, then Xiong Da can cultivate in that area, and the entire mountain can serve as its energy source.
For Xiong Da, this was undoubtedly a golden opportunity to improve his strength in a rocky place, which was absolutely beneficial.
Moreover, Mo Ming had an even bigger plan in mind: to set up a backup shelter inside the rocky mountains, ensuring absolute secrecy.
However, the only obstacle was that he could not be sure whether King Jinling was still on Stone Mountain, which made him hesitate and unable to put it into practice.
Now, another fragment of the Bronze Refining Heaven Cauldron is located on Stone Mountain, which makes Mo Ming's determination even stronger.
He knew this opportunity was hard-won and he had to seize it. He took a deep breath and secretly decided that he had to go to Stone Mountain no matter what to do, to confirm the existence of the Golden Spirit King, and to find the fragment.
After packing their belongings, Mo Ming called Xiong Da and Meng Ling and set off towards Stone Mountain.
However, what he didn't know was that from the moment Meng Ling flew out of the territory, she was being watched intently by a pair of sinister eyes.
......
On this mysterious land, Mo Ming's feelings were as complex as the scene before him.
Mengling's flying speed surprised him. Although she slowed down after his reminder, she still covered more than 110 kilometers in just one hour.
If flying at full speed, it might not even take half an hour; such a speed is simply unimaginable.
This is only Mengling; if it were Xiaojin, at full speed, it would probably arrive in ten minutes.
Despite having witnessed it before, the sheer power of the creatures in the misty world once again left Mo Ming speechless.
Their target was the tomb of King Jinling, and according to the tracking wheel, the location of the fragment was exactly opposite the entrance to King Jinling's tomb, located at opposite ends of the stone mountain.
At this moment, Mo Ming felt slightly relieved. This position was the most ideal, at least they still had time to react and look for an opportunity to escape before being discovered.
Their thoughts returned to the present moment; finding the fragments of the Heaven-Refining Cauldron was the ultimate goal of their journey.
After determining the location, Mo Ming instructed Xiong Da to activate his Rock Burst talent and begin absorbing the power of the surrounding rocks.
Time seemed to stretch on endlessly at that moment; the efforts of several hours had finally paid off.
With Xiong Da's efforts, layers of rock were peeled away, and a huge cave gradually formed, leading directly to the location of the fragment.
Mo Ming, through the tracking wheel's display, discovered that the fragment seemed to be only a few meters away from them. His heart was filled with anticipation, as if the fragment were within reach.
Under Mo Ming's tense gaze, Xiong Da finally completed this last task.
As the last piece of rock fell away, the fragment of the bronze Refining Heaven Cauldron that Mo Ming had been hoping for did not appear as he wished. Instead, a dark, mysterious cave entrance appeared, deep and mysterious, as if leading to an unknown abyss.
The cave entrance stretched downwards, giving the impression of an unfathomable depth, and a sense of unease welled up in Mo Ming's heart.
He quickly took out a piece of luminous jade from his spatial ring and gently tossed it down.
As the jade stone landed, the cave was instantly illuminated, the white light reflecting off the slippery rocks on the cave walls, seemingly concealing countless secrets.
Mo Ming held his breath, staring at the shimmering light, his heart filled with anticipation and trepidation.
At that moment, Mengling shrank her body without hesitation and nimbly slipped inside.
Its silhouette appeared exceptionally agile in the light, as if it were filled with fearless courage to explore the unknown.
Mo Ming's heart tightened. Although he knew Meng Ling's strength, he was still worried about her safety. He took a deep breath and prayed silently, hoping that this passage would lead them to the fragments of the Refining Heaven Cauldron, rather than into deeper danger.
Mo Ming stared nervously at the cave entrance, his heart filled with anxiety.
Just as he was about to lose his patience, Mengling appeared in his line of sight, swaying unsteadily.
Its figure appeared somewhat illusory in the light, but its familiar outline instantly put Mo Ming at ease.
Seeing that Mengling was safe and sound, Mo Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the tension in his heart receded like a tide.
In his heart, Mengling and the other pets were no longer just companions, but his closest family members.
Every adventure and every moment spent together deepened their bond.
Mo Ming felt a warm feeling well up in his heart, as if no matter how difficult or dangerous the road ahead, as long as his pets were by his side, he could bravely face everything.
However, just as they were rejoicing, a figure suddenly appeared at the cave entrance.
The moment Mo Ming turned around, his gaze met that figure, and his heart sank, immediately tensing up. The figure's demeanor and aura made him feel uneasy.
The only people who could appear at this time and place are Jinling King and members of the Iron Mountain Alliance.
Although the Iron Mountain Alliance members were quite strong, he wasn't worried about his safety with Meng Ling and Xiong Da by his side.
However, if it were the Golden Spirit King, it would be completely different.
Putting aside the guards in the tomb, King Jinling himself was definitely a person stronger than he had ever known.
King Jinling, a peerless master from many years ago, once dominated countless battles. Even now, having just awakened, he is not someone at my level to contend with.
Thinking of this, Mo Ming felt a surge of fear.
He held his breath, trying to calm himself down and carefully considering how to deal with the situation.
If it were King Jinling, running away would be the most unwise choice.
With the entrance blocked, the chance of escaping is zero in this relative position.
His gaze lingered on the figure, trying to identify the person.
Mo Ming saw a man dressed in a black robe, but his face was blurry and he seemed to be moving in the shadows.
"Who are you?" Mo Ming finally mustered his courage and broke the silence, his voice echoing in the cave.
His heart raced as he awaited the other person's reply.
The man in black robes smiled slightly, seemingly without malice, but that fleeting smile sent a chill down Mo Ming's spine.
"You've already forgotten me?"
What the hell!
Mo Ming never dreamed that this voice was actually... Vista!?
