Chapter 677: Five Years, Eight Years, Ten Years! Part 3
Su Mo could easily put aside his pride and try to obtain the information she received from the reward if she was an outsider like the Liu brothers.
However, she was someone considered relatively close and was highly likely to become a close ally or subordinate in the future.
Su Mo made very careful considerations.
There were ten days away from the big drop in temperature and an incoming storm in the future.
After the two disasters, there was at least one more month before the next disaster, so it would be useless for him to gain this information if he would not be returning to the territory in time.
On the contrary, all the news about the ruins was precious, and he could quickly gain some benefits if he took advantage of it to enter it once.
When the time came, he could easily exchange information with Feng Mengyue so they could help each other.
It would be a mutual win for both of them!
“Are the ruins still open?”
“They’re already closed but will open again seven days before the next disaster until the last day before the cooling disaster.”
…
“Okay, when the time comes, I’ll try to see if I can get something!”
The two ruins near the basin had not opened, and Su Mo initially thought he had terrible luck.
Unexpectedly, he would have countless discoveries in his few days of adventure.
The situation perfectly described the rumored quote that the New World was full of treasures and opportunities for those courageous enough to explroe!
Meanwhile, hearing that Su Mo was willing to attempt to clear the ruins quest, Feng Mengyue also looked happy and began to give directions and details about the ruin specifically.
It was already eleven at night when Su Mo was completely clear about every detail of the Future Ruins.
Feng Mengyue, who told the story, did not feel exhausted, and neither did the three listeners, who were still full of energy.
Su Mo could not wait to immerse himself into the magical ruins immediately and see what the magical scenario of the future held.
Eventually, Su Mo glanced at the time and interrupted the night talk that lasted for several hours.
“We should head to bed. Early in the morning, we’ll head toward the center of the mountain. Right now, the most important thing at hand is the mysterious people that appeared.”
Feng Mengyue immediately tensed up and stopped speaking after the mention of their priority.
These mysterious people had Guan Shan, and it would be difficult for Feng Mengyuan to explain the twists and turns of the details with Guan Yuan present, so she could only leave it until tomorrow.
At the same time, she wanted to a.s.sist Su Mo and send an indirect reminder that no matter what, the Mountain Moon Territory would be dispatching a group of people under Guan Yuan into the mountain with Su Mo to take care of each other.
It was an uphill battle that needed them to use 120% of their energy. They needed to put in all they had on this mission.
Their gathering was quick but also dispersed quickly.
Seeing that Su Mo and Feng Mengyue had stopped talking and went back to rest in bed, the other two, Guan Yuan and Xiao Yu, could only glance at each other and obediently follow their actions.
The flames from the three oil lamps were immediately extinguished in seconds.
Inside the small stone house, only a mystical light was cast down by the moonlight.
Oreo, like always, guarded them from the shadows.
Su Mo could sleep at ease and was not worried about any sudden accidents throughout the night.
The moon gradually disappeared and was replaced by the rising sun along the horizon. Su Mo slowly opened his eyes when the time came to seven in the morning.
He could feel the fresh and humid mountain breeze.
The golden sunrise s.h.i.+ned brightly into his eyes.
The furniture placement in the house was extremely well thought out. The rising sunlight projected directly toward the bed and warmed up the person in bed so that the cold of the winter could not be felt at all.
Without disturbing the three who were still sleeping, he gently sat up along the bedside and saw Oreo peeking through the window.
Su Mo smiled, got dressed, tiptoed out, and pushed the door open to walk outside.
Whoosh…
The inside of the house was unusually warm like it was spring.
When he stepped outside, he could feel the cold winter as the wind blew against his skin, making his whole body s.h.i.+ver.
However…
“Ha, no wonder Feng Mengyue was reluctant to leave. Seeing how strong the Mountain Moon Territory would become in five years is one reason, but there was also the extremely refres.h.i.+ng environment that she didn’t want to leave!”
In the distance, high mountains covered with snow seemed lonely yet peacefully quiet.
Nearby, there was a crooked gravel road that had formed a unique pattern because the villagers frequently traveled along it.
When Su Mo saw the neat stone houses for the first time, they felt excessively worn out and old. They seemed to have a very low potential for development.
However, after getting used to it, Su Mo was somewhat attached to it and thought that I gave off an impression of a vacation village hidden in the mountains.
