The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 3282 Harvesting Beans

The shadowy figure wanted to explode, using the powerful corrosive properties of the black water to kill Chen Mo.

Unfortunately, Chen Mo smiled as soon as he saw the dark figure, he was just waiting for this to happen!

He had only knocked the shadowy figure away, not killed it, waiting for it to bulge out in mid-air and explode.

He took out the talisman he had prepared beforehand and threw it at the dark figure that was trying to approach him and whose body was about to explode.

The talisman appeared instantly, enveloping the shadowy figure. It was an isolation talisman, capable of isolating the shadowy figure from the outside world. Sure enough, after being enveloped by the talisman, the shadowy figure did not explode!

Chen Mo stepped forward and put it into his Qiankun Bag.

While he was still inside the house, he realized that the power of the black shadow exploding was not weak, especially the corrosive liquid, which was very aggressive.

Even he himself, if he is not on guard, could get hurt if he falls into a trap.

So I wondered if I could catch the black shadow the moment it exploded, put it in my storage bag, and throw it out to fight when needed?
If anyone dares to attack him, Chen Mo will simply throw the shadowy figure out of his storage bag and let the enemy experience the feeling of being drenched in rain. Even if it doesn't kill them, it'll corrode them; experiencing the shadowy figure explode and corrode will be absolutely exhilarating.

However, he didn't have any immobilization talismans on hand, as those were high-level second-tier talisman techniques, while he was currently only at the mid-level of the initial tier. So, he finally decided to try using an isolation talisman.

After all, the black shadow's explosion might require certain conditions, and it would only burst open after its body swelled to a certain extent. He guessed that this attack needed to absorb a certain amount of spiritual energy in a short period of time before it could explode.

So, let's use an isolation talisman to block the absorption of spiritual energy and see if the shadow can still explode.

Therefore, after Chen Mo came out, he did not kill him, but kicked the shadowy figure away, waiting for the shadowy figure to bulge up and attack him.

Sure enough, after kicking the shadowy figures away several times, one of them immediately tried to use the explosion to attack him.

Once one appeared, another followed. Seeing that the attack was ineffective, the shadowy figure immediately took to the air, intending to explode in mid-air and attack Chen Mo.

But to the shadowy figure's surprise, just as it leaped into the air and inflated its body, preparing to explode, Chen Mo threw out talismans one after another, which accurately stuck to the figure's body before it burst open. Then, Chen Mo caught them and tossed them into his storage bag.

Numerous shadowy figures surrounded Chen Mo, yet none could touch him. Each shadowy figure about to explode was collected into his Qiankun bag.

Chen Mo eventually caught all the shadowy figures that emerged from the darkness.

And so, after about an hour, the area around him was empty; the shadowy figures were gone, and the impending explosion was no longer there.

Just now, even the shadowy figures on the other side of the square rushed over to attack Chen Mo because they heard their companions' roars.

Therefore, Chen Mo finally captured a hundred shadowy figures, all of which were about to explode.

Looking at the hundred black shadows about to explode in the Qiankun Bag, Chen Mo chuckled, imagining what it would be like to be attacked by a rain of black shadows as his enemies were blown apart.

With the shadowy figure gone, Chen Mo flashed back and stood guard beside Ouyang Ruoxi, using a restriction to keep the three of them immersed in the illusion. He then took out some talisman paper and began making talismans. He had used up too many isolation talismans when he captured the shadowy figure, so he had few left. Therefore, he took advantage of the free time to draw some isolation talismans, which might come in handy tomorrow night.

Overnight, Chen Mo drew hundreds more talismans. Without the support of the spiritual liquid, he wouldn't have been able to draw so many talismans.

After carefully storing all the talismans, he first retrieved the foundation of the house, and then used the restriction to slowly pull the three women out of the illusion.

The three women spent the night peacefully in the illusion, except for the howling of dark shadows outside the house, which did not attack them.

Then the four of them took turns on guard duty, remaining on standby until dawn.

“Amo, the shadowy figures didn’t manage to break in last night. Our current defensive strategy should be able to keep them out,” Ouyang Nan said.

"Maybe, but we haven't tested the nighttime defense methods yet, so we can't be careless. What if there are just a few shadowy figures, which is why they haven't broken in?" Chen Mo replied.

"Hmm, that's possible." After thinking for a moment, Ouyang Nan said again, "Let's see tonight!"

"Amo, it's dawn!" Ouyang Ruoxi said happily when she saw the sky outside. "Should we wait for Elder Qian and the others to go together, or should we go on our own?"

After thinking for a moment, Chen Mo said, "Let's stick together with them, but instead of joining them, let my aunt go to Qian Ying and offer to be the pathfinder, going ahead but not too far away from them. This way, we can maintain a certain degree of independence while staying close to them. If anything happens, Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing will lend a hand."

He had originally planned to join Qian Ying and the others before continuing their journey. However, he realized that they had captured so many shadowy figures during the night, and if they joined together, they wouldn't be able to continue capturing them. Therefore, he decided to act as a scout and keep a distance.

This way, when we stop to prepare for the night, we can quickly collect wood. Unlike when we're with a large group, where collecting wood doesn't allow for free and easy work.

Chen Mo shared his thoughts with Ouyang Nan.

“Okay, I’ll go talk to Qian Ying now,” Ouyang Nan said.

“Okay, go find Qian Ying. We’ll prepare your luggage and wait for you to come back so we can set off together,” Chen Mo said.

They moved the burning wood away from the doorway, then used ropes to tie some of the wood together for easier transport. After getting some water and cleaning up, they waited for Ouyang Nan to return.

Meanwhile, Qian Ying and the others were quite puzzled that night. The roar of the dark figure last night, as if it were about to rush in at any moment, had greatly worried the Ouyang family's martial artists.

They were stationed right at the main gate, and if the dark figure rushed in, they would be the first to be attacked.

But after a whole night on guard duty, constantly on edge and on guard, not a single shadowy figure rushed in until dawn.

"Elder, the shadowy figure didn't break in last night. Could it be that our defenses were flawed, preventing the shadowy figure from getting in?" Qian Wantong looked at the already brightening sky outside with some curiosity and asked Qian Ying hesitantly.

Qian Ying was also completely baffled and couldn't quite put her finger on it. After thinking for a moment, she said, "It might not be, but it should be somewhat related. After all, those strange beasts have some intelligence. If they charged in, they would die, so they might just retreat. Let's take another look tonight, and we'll probably know for sure."

“That’s right, Elder is right.” Qian Wantong nodded in agreement.
