My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 158 Things are changing

Every morning, as soon as the sky begins to lighten, Chen Mu would get up, wash, and then secretly sneak into the city to ambush Chao Tianwang.

He had already determined that Heavenly King Chao Fang had no means to detect the spirits.

The capture of wandering spirits often employs entrapment methods.

This gave Chen Mu room to maneuver.

So he went to the city every day to keep an eye on Chao Fang.

……

Half a month passed by in a flash.

Chen Mu got up early as usual, intending to sneak away, when he ran into Sun Enqi, who was getting up to use the restroom.

Upon seeing Chen Mu, Sun Enqi instantly became alert and cautiously warned, "Wang, be careful, don't let anyone catch you."

Chen Mu nodded with a smile.

But as he turned around, his eyes narrowed involuntarily.

"This cheap seventh uncle seems to have aged a bit. Is it just my imagination?"

Chen Mu paused, "I'm afraid it's not an illusion."

The Yinming Silk is strange; it drains people's vital energy every day, causing them to lose their vitality.

"Is it already shortening my lifespan...?" Chen Mu's heart sank, but he could only shake his head and leave.

In times of chaos, he couldn't care less about such things.

It's already difficult enough to live in accordance with one's own desires.

……

North of Qingshan County.

The twelve generals will be scattered in four places, sitting cross-legged on the roof. A pitch-black soul-fixing stake lies across their laps.

Three large plumes of black smoke appeared and disappeared in mid-air, but they were unable to fly out of the circle formed by the twelve people.

The shadowy figure resembled a balloon, growing larger and larger over time.

Upon reaching a certain critical point, it explodes into wisps of black smoke with a bang.

"Will your method work or not?" Tu Shan sat on a rooftop, frowning as he stared at Chao Fang beside him.

"Be patient," Chao said calmly.

"I heard that the Jinghong Gang has found a Thousand Machine Token." Tu Shan looked up at the south of the city.

Chao Fang glanced at Tu Shan: "You have an idea?"

Tu Shan looked at Chao Fang seriously and said, "There must be something wrong with the feng shui in the north of the city."

"Go and discuss with them about changing locations," Tu Shan suggested sincerely.

Chao Fang: "..."

"You want to steal their Thousand Machine Token, don't you?" Chao Fang chuckled, withdrawing his gaze.

"How could you have such a thought?" Tu Shan frowned, looking at Chao Fang with displeasure. "When are we going to make our move?"

"Heh...it's not the right time yet." Chao Fang shook his head with a smile.

"You're not scared, are you?" Tu Shan asked suspiciously.

Chao Fang squinted: "It's much more cost-effective to steal two than one."

"Let them find more before we make our move."

"You're heartless!" Tu Shan looked at Chao Fang with a pained expression: "Don't forget about the Tangshan army when the time comes."

"Ha!" Chao Fang shook his head and laughed.

……

“We don’t necessarily have to steal it.” Chao Fang looked at the bright yellow scroll in his hand. “Maybe we can find it soon.”

Tu Shan looked at Chao Fang with suspicion.

"The Thousand-Machine Token of the Jinghong Gang wasn't something we sought out; it manifested itself," Chao Fang said calmly.

"According to records, once certain conditions are met, the Thousand Machine Token will shine. At that time, evil spirits and demons will have no choice but to reveal themselves."

“And within a haunted lair, the more deaths occur, the more likely this phenomenon will occur,” Chao Fang said meaningfully.

"Death?" Tu Shan narrowed his eyes.

Chao Fang's lips curled up: "Yes, death. Whether it's the death of a ghost or the death of a person."

"The place of massacre, the battlefield like a meat grinder, is the easiest place to gather ghosts. The Thousand Machine Token is also the easiest place to shine."

"Think again about this riot that has swept the world."

"Isn't it interesting?"

"So that's why you brought so many ordinary people?" Tu Shan looked at Chao Fang with disgust.

"Just in case, we might not even need it." Chao Fang shrugged.

Tu Shan snorted coldly, and after a moment of silence, suddenly said, "Want to try?"

"No rush, the other two haven't made a move yet, have they?"

Tu Shan nodded reluctantly: "We can't let others benefit from this."

"I still think the feng shui in the south of the city is better."

Chao Fang looked at the twelve heavenly generals in the distance: "Perhaps the tide will turn."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a black smoke cloud, four or five meters in diameter, suddenly appeared within the ambush area.

Above it, black mist churned, as if trying to break free from its main body, constantly darting left and right. A glimmer of emerald light appeared and disappeared amidst the black smoke.

Tu Shan was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter: "The feng shui has turned around!"

Chao Fang couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Quick, accelerate the injection of vital energy!"

The twelve heavenly generals dared not slack off and chanted the incantation with all their might.

The black smoke struggled incessantly, but could not escape.

Its size continued to expand until it finally exploded into light with a bang.

A fist-sized, emerald-green gourd appeared in mid-air.

"Haha! Good!" Tu Shan laughed loudly.

Chao Fang could no longer maintain his composure and burst into laughter: "After planning for so long, finally..."

But before he could finish speaking, a cloud of black smoke appeared out of thin air.

The gourd, as green as jade, suddenly disappeared.

Tu Shan and Chao Fang were stunned.

……

"Who is it!" Tu Shan suddenly roared, his eyes bloodshot, glaring fiercely at his surroundings like a wild beast.

The twelve heavenly generals and Chao Fang also looked around in a fit of rage.

After several months of work, we are finally seeing results.

In the end, someone else took the fruit from my hands, and I was so angry I could explode!
it's me!

Chen Mu, enveloped in dark, ghostly smoke, watched with amusement as Chao Fangtushan was furious.

"It's like finding a needle in a haystack, only to have it come to you effortlessly! Haha..."

He hid under the eaves of a building, behind which was a two-story wooden building, with an unknown heavenly general standing on the roof.

I deliberately adjusted my breathing and heartbeat, trying to keep them in sync with the rooftop sky.

In addition, the spirit is invisible, so no one can detect it.

Not easy.

After planning for so long, I finally managed to get my hands on a Thousand Machine Token.

It is said that the Thousand Machine Token was not a token, but a jade gourd.

"magic."

Chen Mu stood still, breathing as softly as possible.

They watched with glee as Tu Shan carried out the demolition in a chaotic manner.

The other party seemed to believe that someone was hiding in the vicinity and wanted to demolish all the houses.

"Haha, take your time taking it apart, I'm done playing!" With that, Chen Mu lightly lifted his foot to leave.

But after thinking about it, he still didn't put his foot down.

The Body Refinement Technique can significantly transform and strengthen a person, including all their senses.

Even the slightest footstep could be detected.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Mu's heart stirred.

If one can use the Five Ghosts to become invisible, then can one also use the Five Ghosts to fly?

"Five ghosts moving people? Ha!"

The swirling black smoke quickly thickened, enveloping Chen Mu like an airtight egg.

"rise!"

He let out a low shout in his heart, and then he floated away.

Chen Mu was overjoyed.

Flying—a dream etched into his very being. And now he's made it a reality!

"Fly! Let me see your limits! Haha..."

Chen Mu controlled the Yin spirit and exerted tremendous force, instantly lifting him off the ground... by five centimeters?!
Chen Mu: “…”

This isn't right!

He genuinely thought he could fly! And this is what you show me?

These trashy paper figures have ruined my youth!
"Forget it, running away is the priority. I'll deal with you when I get back!" Chen Mu thought with a face full of resentment.

I glanced up casually and saw the two demolition team members, their faces covered in dust and dirt.

Upon comparison, his frustration vanished instantly!

"Those two idiots are really unlucky! Haha..."

As he spoke, he controlled the Autumn Spirit to slowly drift away into the distance.

"You guys play by yourselves, I'm not going to serve you anymore!" Chen Mu grinned silently and waved back at the two of them.

Then he crashed into an invisible wall with a bang.

Chen Mu looked ahead with a completely bewildered expression.

what's the situation?
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Chen Mu, and he abruptly looked up at the Twelve Heavenly Generals.

They still held the soul-stabilizing stakes, propping them up on the roof like poles.

Is the Yin-Huan Strategy Formation still in use?
"Can you guys stop being so dedicated?!" Chen Mu exclaimed helplessly.
