Hearing Jasmine say that.
Zhou Huai seed to see a glimr of hope.
"Bring all the Mortal Demon Source Stones here."
"Yes, my lord."
Jasmine accepted the order, turned around, and quickly left.
Half an hour later.
She then returned to Zhou Huai with two of her n, carrying a heavy tal box.
The box was opened.
A dozen or so strange stones, completely black and seemingly containing flowing stars, lay quietly inside.
Each piece was several tis larger than the two pieces Zhang Donglai had given him.
However, Zhou Huai's brows only relaxed for a mont before they furrowed tightly again.
That's too little.
His current number of clones is approaching double digits.
There will be more in the future.
This small amount of mortal demon source stone, if thrown into the body tempering device, probably wouldn't even be enough to raise all the clones by three to five levels.
It's not even enough to fill a gap between your teeth.
His ambitions extend far beyond this.
I can't guarantee much, but at least... everyone should be level 50, right?
What we have is clearly not enough.
"Were all found in the Abyss of Mist?" Zhou Huai asked in a deep voice.
Jasmine nodded respectfully.
"Yes, my lord."
"The Abyss of Mist is much larger than we imagined, and the resources within it are far more abundant than we ever thought."
"only......"
Jasmine paused, a hint of embarrassnt on her face.
"The entrance to that secret realm has now been completely sealed off by the military."
"And they deployed two full companies of troops for 24-hour continuous control."
"Although the military has not yet begun formal exploration, it has strictly prohibited anyone else from entering."
Zhou Huai had anticipated that the ruins would be placed under military control.
After all, ruins are extrely important strategic resources, and the military could not possibly overlook them.
However, these are minor issues for him.
How tightly controlled was the Zhou family's Radiant Alliance back then?
He was allowed in just because he said so.
He pondered for a mont and then gave instructions to Jasmine.
"In the guild, organize an elite team that is best at discovering resources."
"Prepare for action this afternoon."
A hint of surprise flashed in Jasmine's eyes, but she didn't ask any further questions.
"Yes, my lord."
She accepted the order once again and imdiately went out to begin making arrangents.
...
It is located less than 20 miles from Donghai City.
A vertical crater with a diater of over 100 ters is like a hideous scar branded onto the earth.
These are the traces left when the beast tide broke through the earth.
Even now, one can still hear the chilling roars of strange beasts coming from the deep pit from ti to ti.
The area around this huge scar had long been designated as a top-level restricted zone by the military.
High-voltage power grids encircle the area, and cold tal watchtowers rise up, so even equipped with heavy magic cannons.
Just then.
"Buzz—"
A violent energy fluctuation emanated from the deep pit.
Imdiately afterwards, a small military squad of several dozen n erged disheveled from the dark cave.
They all bore injuries to varying degrees, and their faces were etched with solemnity.
An officer with the rank of major imdiately went to et him.
"How is the situation?"
The captain, who was in the lead, was panting heavily.
"Reporting, sir!"
"Although the main force of the beast tide has been quelled, there are still quite a few strange beasts in the cave."
"We only explored the outermost periter, and we were attacked by no fewer than ten waves of high-level alien beasts!"
"Among them are several Calamity-level BOSSes that are over level 40!"
The officer's brow furrowed even deeper.
Are you confident you can clean it up?
The captain gave a wry smile and shook his head.
"It will take at least two weeks to completely eliminate these strange beasts around the ruins."
"This is still the most conservative estimate."
Upon hearing this, the officer remained silent for a mont, then patted him heavily on the shoulder.
"Thanks for your hard work."
"It's alright, safety cos first. We'll take it one step at a ti."
"Tomorrow, I will apply to my superiors again to send more brothers over as reinforcents."
He lowered his voice, his tone becoming exceptionally serious.
"Governor Hou is also quite concerned about this matter. He specifically instructed us to take it seriously."
"yes!"
The crowd responded in unison.
During the conversation, no one noticed.
A barely perceptible black shadow, almost blending into the shadows on the ground, had silently passed beneath their feet.
It did not alert anyone.
Finally, the dark figure, like [N O V E L I G H T] flowing water, smoothly slipped into the huge, heavily guarded pit not far away.
...
The cave was deep and dark.
The rock face was slippery, and the air was filled with the musty sll of dirt and blood.
Less than a hundred ters in, Zhou Huai saw countless figures on the rock face.
They lay motionless like giant geckos, their scarlet compound eyes gleaming in the darkness.
Zhou Huai didn't stop, maneuvering Moria downwards, his figure darting swiftly through the shadows.
Deep underground, a broken circular platform ca into view.
In the center of the platform, a huge vortex with a diater of nearly 20 ters slowly rotated, emitting strong energy fluctuations.
This is the entrance to the Mysterious Abyss of Ruins.
The closer you get to the entrance, the more strange beasts gather there.
They piled up in layers, almost covering the entire platform, leaving only a narrow path leading to the vortex.
Zhou Huai had no intention of eliminating these strange beasts.
Any energy fluctuation could penetrate the earth's strata and attract the attention of ground military personnel.
Using the stealth effect of 【Shadow Stealth】, Moria silently passed through the dense herd of beasts without disturbing a single one.
They plunged headlong into the enormous vortex.
The dizziness caused by the spatial distortion passed by in an instant.
The next second, the scene before Zhou Huai suddenly beca clear.
Before lay the familiar thick fog, and the air was filled with a familiar feeling.
It felt so welcoming, like coming ho.
This used to be his back garden.
Based on his mory, Zhou Huai randomly chose a direction and began to explore.
It was thought that the number of strange beasts in the ruins would decrease significantly after the beast tide was wiped out, but the opposite was true.
The number of strange beasts here has not decreased, but is even greater than before the beast tide broke out.
He had only taken a few steps when several groups of strange beasts appeared within his ntal perception range, including elite monsters of level 30 or above.
After venturing so distance, Zhou Huai controlled Moria to arrive at a relatively hidden cave.
Moria's figure slowly erged from the shadows.
He raised his hand, and a small, antique seal appeared in his palm.
This is Zhuge Liang's skill—adhering to conventions.
This seal already contains a complete copy of a teleportation array.
The seal was casually tossed on the ground.
"Buzz—"
A flash of pale blue light appeared, and a complex array pattern quickly spread across the ground, filling the entire cave.
The light flowed and eventually converged at the center of the formation, growing brighter and brighter.
Imdiately afterwards, beams of white light lit up one after another within the formation.
The mbers of the Eternal Night Guild erged one after another from the pillar of light.
The one leading them was Qin Ming.
He has now replaced Yasuo and beco the de facto vice president of the Eternal Night Guild.
Looking around at the thick fog, Qin Ming didn't panic; instead, he grinned.
"The Abyss of Mist!"
"We're back!"
