Meng Qingyin forced herself not to think about Huang Teng—even if Huang Teng really wanted to be resurrected, she would have to wait for Lear to teleport the other three to Phoenix Mountain, and Lear gave her a three-day deadline.
During these three days, players on the Azure Sea map will be in constant danger, and she must make the desiccant before she can make any other plans.
She instructed Ye Yingjun to summon the Night Demon Clan and transport these powerful stones to Shiye to be processed into powerful stone powder.
At the same time, we also collect more raw materials such as activated carbon.
She messaged Hanmei: "How is everyone doing now?"
Jiang Hanmei sensed something was wrong: "Why are you suddenly asking this? Where are you right now?"
Meng Qingyin didn't just say her location; she only said that she had obtained a dungeon item and was currently inside the dungeon, so she didn't know much about the situation outside.
Hanmei: "So that's how it is. Sigh, everyone's situation isn't good. The sea breeze is getting stronger and stronger, reaching level eight, and the air is even more humid, causing a sharp drop in comfort. Many players didn't even have time to eat the sea snake gall before... sigh."
The sea breeze has already reached level eight?
Meng Qingyin traded the desiccant formula to Hanmei and granted Hanmei access to her factory.
Hanmei: "Why did you give me the desiccant formula?"
Mengmeng: "Go find the strong stone powder in the recipe to blacksmith Shiye. As for the other materials, you can gather them yourself, and the Night Demon will deliver them to you. Go to the factory to mass-produce desiccants to help the players get through this difficult time."
Hanmei: "Great! With desiccant, we don't have to worry about the humidity anymore! Players are saved!"
Meng Qingyin breathed a sigh of relief when she handed the matter over to Hanmei.
Looking up, she saw Niu Meng staring at her expectantly.
"Are you really willing to submit to the Night Demon Clan?" Meng Qingyin asked seriously.
Niu Meng raised his ox hoof and vowed, "I will never betray you!"
Meng Qingyin nodded: "Okay, I agree. From now on, the Minotaur Clan will be under the protection of the Night Demon Clan. I also have a condition: you have to help me find other ways to find the bedrock."
Niu Meng's face immediately fell: "Huh? What can I do?"
Meng Qingyin: "There are no secrets in the world. I don't believe that Huang Teng can do things perfectly well. Maybe someone saw him burying the bedrock? You should ask around, especially She Bing and Mao He."
"Snake Bing has disappeared somewhere," Ye Yingjun added from the side.
Meng Qingyin also remembered this matter: "Then let's ask Mao He more about it."
Niu Meng: "Okay, I'll try my best."
"Not just try, but give it your all," Meng Qingyin corrected.
Niu Meng: "I will do my best! However, I think staying in the survival world may not be a bad thing. After all, the Earth is not the same as it used to be."
Meng Qingyin neither agreed nor disagreed.
No matter what Earth becomes, it will always be their home.
Compared to this game world where life and death are constantly controlled by others, she would rather return to Earth.
...
After resolving the issue of the strong stone powder, Meng Qingyin had Ye Yingjun take her to the Ten Thousand Snake Cave, which was Snake Bing's territory and the lair of the Black Snake Clan.
I had imagined this place to be a dark and eerie cave filled with snakes, but instead, it turned out to be a beautiful place with clear waters, lush mountains, and fragrant flowers.
"Is this the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes?" Meng Qingyin wondered if Ye Yingjun had led her to the wrong place.
Snakes are creatures that prefer dark and damp environments, aren't they?
No matter how you look at it, this place is not dark or damp.
Ye Yingjun nodded affirmatively: "This is indeed the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes. The name doesn't quite match the scenery here, does it? It's because this place wasn't originally called the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes. This is a delta near the Sea of Hope, originally called Hope Continent. It was renamed the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes after it was occupied by the Black Snake Clan."
"Hope Continent?" Meng Qingyin's eyes flickered. "So, this used to be the territory of the Merfolk?"
Ye Yingjun nodded: "Yes. The Merfolk under the rule of Jiao Ming almost unified the entire Pinggu Star. Back then, Huang Teng was just a helpless little bird, crying for food, right?"
He looked around and thought, "There's no trace of the Black Serpent Clan living here anymore. I didn't expect the war to end so quickly—Serpent C doesn't care about the Black Serpent Clan's people at all."
Meng Qingyin: "Do you know where She Bing's laboratory is?"
She couldn't rest easy until she saw the laboratory destroyed with her own eyes.
Ye Yingjun shook his head: "I've been searching here for a long time but I still can't find it."
Meng Qingyin was somewhat disappointed.
She came to the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes because she wanted to see the laboratory destroyed with her own eyes.
"I wondered who it was, but it turns out to be a distinguished guest." Jiao Ming's voice rang out from behind without warning.
Meng Qingyin turned around, and Jiaoming was looking at her with a half-smile.
Ye Yingjun stood in front of Meng Qingyin, saying, "This is the leader of our Night Demon Clan. Jiao Ming, you can't touch her, or you'll be making an enemy of our entire Night Demon Clan."
Jiao Ming snorted coldly, "I'm just here to catch up with an old friend, why are you so nervous, Ye Yingjun?" She looked at Meng Qingyin behind Ye Yingjun, "Don't you think so, Meng Qingyin?"
Meng Qingyin gently patted Ye Yingjun's shoulder, indicating that he didn't need to be nervous, and smiled at Jiaoming, saying, "What a coincidence, we meet again."
Jiaoming smiled and said, "Unfortunately, I came here specifically to find you."
Meng Qingyin raised an eyebrow: "You specifically sought me out? What do you want with me?"
Her relationship with Jiaoming wasn't at the point where he would specifically seek her out.
"To be more precise, I want to thank you personally," Jiao Ming said frankly, "for the sake of Jiao Ze."
She had thought about what Meng Qingyin had said to her for a long time and finally understood it, deciding not to force Jiao Ze anymore.
She gave Jiaoze life, but Jiaoze should be free.
Forcing Jiao Ze to become the leader in order to strengthen the Jiao clan is an extremely irresponsible act, both to Jiao Ze and to the entire Jiao clan.
This can also be seen from the status of the Merfolk – under her leadership, the Merfolk were once comparable to the Night Demons. If it weren't for the Merfolk's special "blessing," the Merfolk would have been the leaders of Pinggu Star.
As for Jiaoze, under his leadership, the Jiao tribe retreated again and again, their territory was divided up, and they could only cower in the Sea of Hope.
Although she was unwilling to admit it, Jiaoze was indeed hopeless.
Let him do what he likes instead of torturing each other.
Without Meng Qingyin's reminder, she might have been stubborn and believed that she could definitely train Jiaoze into a qualified leader.
Meng Qingyin was slightly surprised that Jiao Ming had come to thank her. "It's good that you've come to your senses. What about Jiao Ze? What is he doing now?"
Jiaoming's gaze softened: "He's busy strengthening his father-daughter bond with Jiaojiao."
“He may not be a good leader, but he will definitely be a good father,” Meng Qingyin said sincerely.
"Let's go," Jiaoming suddenly said.
Meng Qingyin was taken aback: "Where to?"
Jiaoming: "Weren't you just looking for She Bing's lab? I'll take you there."
