My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 223 Attack
“It’s even harder for those who grow medicinal herbs. They not only work hard, but they also face danger.” Shang Huan sighed and said, “The powerful beasts have all gone to the medicinal fields.”

"Not only were the medicinal herb fields destroyed, but several people also died!" Shang Huan shook his head and sighed.

"Luckily, I sent them my secret barbecue seasoning, which helped them make up for some of their losses; otherwise, this year would have been even harder!"

Chen Mu couldn't help but glance at Shang Huan.

Judging from your tone, you're still a good person, huh?
"We don't know how much risk we'll have to take to help them."

"Xiao Shang, you're just too soft-hearted!" Old Hao said with a look of disappointment.

“I’m not stopping you from doing good deeds, but we also need to eat. Raising prices a little isn’t unreasonable, is it?” Old Hao earnestly advised.

"Alright then." Shang Huan looked troubled. "After all, we've had it tough too."

Chen Mu: “…”

I often feel out of place with you because I'm not shameless enough.

Do you even care about your reputation?!

"Brother Chen, just go ahead and build with confidence."

"The best is yet to come!" Shang Huan waved his hand and promised.

I'm afraid I might earn money but not live to spend it!
……

Chen Mu squinted as he watched Shang Huan and the other person enthusiastically discussing the price increase.

"Next time I deliver the calming pills, I'll give them a couple more beatings."

After a long while, the two took a sip of herbal tea and stopped, still wanting more.

"We used to envy those who grow medicinal herbs, but this year it's the other way around," Old Hao said with a smile.

"Who told them to occupy such a prime location?" Shang Huan laughed.

Is it because of the earth's spiritual energy?
So all the powerful beasts went to the medicinal fields?

Chen Mu suddenly realized.

“Young Master Chen wants to learn how to grow medicinal herbs, but I think it would be better to postpone it for two years,” Old Hao suggested.

"Nobody knows if there will still be strange beasts causing trouble next year."

"Besides, that skill is not easy to learn."

"The expenses are high, and without a year or two of learning and experimentation, don't even think about making money from the medicinal herb fields," Old Hao said earnestly.

Chen Mu glanced at the increasingly robust night-blooming jasmine and sighed, "The cost was indeed considerable."

But it is indeed possible to make money.

Those twenty-odd trees alone were enough for him to recoup all his investment.

However, what Mr. Hao said was not wrong.

It's definitely not advisable to go to the medicinal herb cultivation area these past two years.

If we encounter another disturbance caused by strange beasts, it's not a big deal if the herb field is damaged, but it's a real concern if our lives are endangered.

"It's still safer to grow yellow sprout rice."

"Yes. It's a bit tiring, but at least we don't have to face powerful monsters." Old Hao said with a look of agreement, puffing out white smoke.

……

Night falls at the foot of the low hills, in fields of yellow rice sprouts.

Chen Mu strolled among the yellow rice.

Before reaching the pre-calculated location, a copper basin constantly billowing white smoke appeared out of thin air.

More than a dozen copper basins were placed in a row, and the narrow, yellow rice field was completely covered by the miasma.

Chen Mu hummed a little tune as he leisurely returned to the courtyard of the low hill and lay in the rocking chair, gazing at the sky.

As time passed, the incidents of strange beasts causing trouble recurred from time to time, but they had little impact on Chen Mu.

Even compared to other agricultural areas, the region where he lives is barren and remote enough.

Small flying insects and beasts may rush out of the mountains and forests, but large exotic beasts have never appeared.

With the Bewitching Mist, these small strange beasts were easily subdued, and he hardly needed to patrol and check them at night.

He glanced at the night-blooming jasmine on the west side of the courtyard and said, "Even if we plan to grow medicinal herbs in the future, we can't go to the medicinal herb field."

"It's safer here."

"And I also have the White Jade Plate, so I can gain experience anywhere."

I have to thank Dong Cheng. If it weren't for his gift, I would definitely have been like the other lower-level disciples, desperately trying to get into the medicinal herb field and saving up money to train at the dojo.

"With it, every place can be a place of practice."

"As long as you make enough money, you're set!"

Chen Mu looked at the white jade plate with satisfaction.

Suddenly, the stone slab under the low table shattered and flew into the air.

A huge, bloody maw suddenly appeared and swallowed the low table whole.

Then he twisted his body, as if drawing a bowstring, and shot out in the blink of an eye.

The solid stone wall on the east side, as fragile as paper, was instantly washed away.

Chen Mu's pupils suddenly contracted. Almost instinctively, he lifted his foot to chase after him.

A dark figure descended from the sky.

boom!
A thick tail came hurtling through the air. Chen Mu was like a ball, sent flying with a thud, smashing through the west wall of the courtyard.

boom!
Stones flew everywhere, and Chen Mu jumped out of the pile of stones with a gloomy expression.

With a flash, he chased after the low hill without hesitation.

Just now, he had clearly seen the attacker's figure. A terrifyingly large serpentine beast!

And it stole Chen Mu's white jade plate!
As soon as he climbed up the ridge, he saw a large hole in the ravine.

The snow-white, bizarre, giant serpent had already burrowed halfway underground.

Chen Mu immediately roared, "Five Ghosts Moving Mountains!"

A plume of black smoke slithered into the ground, clinging to the white-scaled snake.

boom!
The giant snake's head was suddenly thrust out. Chen Mu's expression changed involuntarily.

The Five Ghosts Moving Mountains' devouring power was completely ineffective against the White Scale Serpent.

But... a white jade plate!

Chen Mu gritted his teeth again: "Five Ghosts Moving Mountains!"

Five plumes of black smoke appeared simultaneously, relentlessly attacking the white-scaled serpent.

However, the snake's scales shimmered with silver light, and large wisps of green smoke appeared around it, which for a moment blocked the Five Ghosts Moving Mountains!

Its body twisted and struggled, causing the ground to tremble. In the small valley, it was as if an earthquake had struck.

Seemingly noticing Chen Mu's figure, the white-scaled serpent suddenly turned its head, its golden vertical pupils filled with icy gaze.

Almost instantly, it was enveloped in a green mist and suddenly appeared beside Chen Mu.

In the blink of an eye, a black shadow as fast as lightning tore through the air, accompanied by a low, whistling sound, and struck Chen Mu hard.

Boom!
It was like two balls suddenly colliding.

A flash of black smoke surrounded Chen Mu, and he was instantly sent flying.

The hard mountain was like sand, and Chen Mu was like a huge lead ball, which was smashed into the soil.

boom!
The soil collapsed, and Chen Mu was suddenly ejected from the mountain.

When a person is in mid-air, their body rapidly increases in height and expands.

The muscles under the skin are raised, and you can even see the thread-like muscle texture.

Then it transformed into a black lightning bolt and arrived in front of the white-scaled serpent almost instantly.

With his right hand clenched into a fist, silver threads were faintly visible on his skin, and his arm muscles seemed to swell up again.

boom!
The enormous snake head seemed to have been hit by a heavy truck, and it involuntarily tilted backward.

The white scales were beaten so badly that they rippled and rolled like waves.

"Haha, so happy!"

The Cloud Mirage Armor Technique has been constantly modifying his body, making his strength comparable to that of the White Scale Serpent!
bang bang bang...

Chen Mu, like a bee's wings, punched the snake's head repeatedly.

However, the white-scaled snake's scales opened and closed rhythmically, completely catching Chen Mu's heavy blow.

Its tail even swept out of nowhere, slamming Chen Mu into the ground again.

When he leaped out of the mountain again, he saw the white-scaled serpent preparing to burrow underground and leave. Even the Five Ghosts Moving Mountains struggled to stop it.

Chen Mu wasn't about to let him escape!

With a low shout, Chen Mu's power rapidly gathered in his right hand.

The cool energy absorbed by the Spirit Armor Technique from the area around the kidneys was also drawn into the right palm.

A fist-sized, black and red sphere, resembling a mass of magma, appeared.

"Innuendo!"

The sphere appeared almost out of thin air in front of the white-scaled serpent.

The sphere exploded suddenly the next moment.

Tiny fragments, each the size of a sesame seed, instantly covered a large area of ​​the white-scaled snake.

sizzle...

A piercing scream of pain rang out instantly.

The entire snake began to writhe and twist wildly.

The area hit by the sarcastic remark immediately turned black and rotted.

The tough white scales were also stained with black and red, becoming extremely fragile.

"Five Ghosts Moving Mountains!"

Five plumes of black smoke, like five black snakes of smoke, rushed to burrow into the body of the white-scaled snake through the rotting wound.

In just two breaths, the once arrogant white-scaled serpent became like a rubber hose scorched by high heat.

He collapsed limply to the ground, unable to get up again!
