My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 242 Hunting
hold head high……

A faint roar could be heard. Chen Mu, who was standing on the wall, changed his expression.

"Is there really a riot of alien beasts?"

Didn't they say they'd already sent people into the mountains to clear out the culprits?

In just a short while, the five ghostly spirits that had flown into the sky saw black dots appearing on the horizon.

Those are all flying beasts!
It was as if there was a hole to the south, with black dots constantly appearing and rapidly spreading in all directions.

A sharp screech rang out, and Chen Mu's expression grew increasingly grim.

He flashed into the courtyard, where black smoke billowed, and he quickly gathered up all his living supplies. Then he jumped into the well and began to crawl into the underground chamber.

It is impossible to fight.

Hordes of strange beasts are too dangerous.

It's safer to hide underground.

The underground chamber has three exits: one is in the courtyard well, one is in the underground chamber in a small ravine, and the other is on a small hill about ten miles to the north.

He placed a ghost in each of the three passages to prevent the strange beasts from sneaking in.

There is another one hidden in the canopy of a withered old tree on the top of a low mountain, used to monitor the surrounding area.

He kept one of the five ghost bags by his side, so that if things went wrong, he could use them to continue burrowing underground.

"It's safe for now." Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

There was a cellar five meters underground in the courtyard, where yellow sprout rice and some homemade cured meat were stored.

After taking stock of the supplies in the Five Ghosts Bag, Chen Mu felt relieved.

"With these things, staying at home for three to five months is no problem."

Switching to the perspective of the Five Ghosts on the mountaintop, Chen Mu noticed that the black dots in the sky were becoming increasingly scattered, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"wait."

Anyway, if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. Supervisor Song Wuji is quite formidable.

"Let's see how the Lower House defends against and disperses the monsters."

……

The beasts are very fast, especially those that can fly.

Within a quarter of an hour, a flying beast swept across the low hill from the sky.

The strange beast had black feathers all over its body and a wingspan of seven or eight meters.

Its tail trailed wisps of black smoke, and only after its figure disappeared did a rolling, booming sound of air waves echo in the air.

Chen Mu, hiding in the secret room, watched with trepidation.

The feeling he got from that bird was even stronger than the earth-shattering creature he had encountered before.

It is at least equivalent to sensing spiritual light, and may even be a powerful beast that has reached the realm of sensing the illusion.

The lower academy has thousands of disciples, but most of them are only at the level of Jia Po, and only a few can complete the fusion of spirit and soul to cultivate the jade seed.

Faced with such a powerful and strange beast, we are nothing but lambs to the slaughter.

Before long, Chen Mu heard faint sounds of fighting and screams. There were sounds of strange beasts and people. Thick black smoke was also rising from several places.

Now Chen Mu dared not leave the underground chamber.

For two days in a row, he hid underground and did not show his face.

Perhaps it was because of its remote location. For the past two days, apart from that black bird, no other strange beasts had ventured over.

It's better that he didn't come!

Chen Mu waited patiently underground.

……

Five days later.

A long, drawn-out hum came from the south of the lower house. This was followed by an even more intense roar.

Fierce fighting seemed to be taking place throughout the House of Commons.

Three more days passed, and the commotion began to subside.

A team of patrol officers quickly passed by his yellow rice field.

"Is it over?"

But he still didn't leave the underground chamber.

He stayed underground for another five days until he saw Old Hao cross the mountain ridge and head towards the low hill. Only then did he emerge from the well and quickly sweep the courtyard.

……

In the courtyard nestled in the low hills, under the wooden shed, a square table is laden with dishes.

Both Hao Lao and Shang Huan couldn't help but wolf down their food.

For nearly half a month, the two of them have been hiding at home, living in fear and barely eating.

"How did the strange beast get into the lower courtyard?" Chen Mu wondered.

Wasn't it said that there were hidden protective barriers around the Lower House?

“I’ve been hiding at home, how would I know about these things?” Old Hao shook his head. “Has this happened before?” Chen Mu continued to ask.

"This is the first time I've ever seen anything like this." Old Hao's expression was not good.

"I heard someone deliberately damaged the restriction node," Shang Huan said mysteriously.

"Who's so bold?" Old Hao asked in surprise.

"I don't know." Shang Huan shrugged. "It's just hearsay; nobody can say for sure."

"There's also a saying that a demon has emerged from the deep mountains?" Shang Huanle chuckled.

"Are we going to fall into chaos here?" Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly thought of Chongshan.

I overheard people chatting at Hongxiufang earlier. Apparently, Chongshandao was attacked by a strange beast, which led to the disbandment of several of its lower temples.

“With Supervisor Song being so capable, it’s impossible for the lower courtyard to be in chaos,” Old Hao immediately retorted.

Chen Mu nodded as he recalled the overwhelming swarms of insects from back then.

"Don't go out unless you have to," Mr. Hao advised.

"Although the restrictions have been repaired, the patrol bureau is still responsible for patrolling and eliminating the strange beasts."

"But the House of Commons is so big, there will inevitably be some who slip through the net. If we happen to run into them, it will be a big problem."

Chen Mu nodded.

Having barely escaped the onslaught of a large group of monstrous beasts, what if I were injured by a few scattered beasts... Hmm, a few scattered beasts?!

"Are all exotic beasts quite valuable?" Chen Mu asked casually.

"Brother Chen, you still want to catch some strange beasts?" Shang Huanle chuckled and said, "It's time-consuming, laborious, and dangerous. You might as well make me some barbecue seasoning."

"I wouldn't dare," Chen Mu said with a smile, waving his hand.

But what about lone beasts...?

……

At night, everything is silent.

Occasionally, one can hear the roars of beasts from the lower courtyard of Chicken Coop Road.

Chen Mu, dressed in a black cloak and wearing a pure white mask, sat cross-legged atop the Five Ghosts Black Smoke, drifting through an endless field of yellow rice.

Two ghosts flew into the air and kept surveying the surroundings.

He was searching for a lone, strange beast.

"As long as it doesn't exceed the limits of perception and delusion, I should be able to put up a fight," Chen Mu thought to himself.

Unfortunately, after wandering around for half the night, they didn't encounter a single strange beast and had to return empty-handed.

"If you go a little further south, or near the medicinal herb cultivation area, you should find them there."

He changed his strategy the next day.

After circling around the low hills, we cautiously moved south.

Half an hour later, a faint scream came from behind. Chen Mu was overjoyed and immediately sent out the Five Ghosts to investigate.

A strange beast, five or six meters long, came into Chen Mu's view.

With its glossy black fur, azure eyes, and snow-white fangs, it resembles a large cat.

Upon seeing the prey that the other party was devouring, Chen Mu's expression changed.

Not far away was a courtyard with collapsed walls and a torn roof. Its owner had been gutted and mostly eaten by the big cat.

Chen Mu took a deep breath, ignoring the mangled corpse, and quietly approached the big cat.

But just as he approached within sixty or seventy meters of the other, the large cat suddenly stopped its swallowing motion, then abruptly turned its head, its azure eyes fixed on Chen Mu, who was now invisible and covered by the ghostly presence.

We've been discovered?!
Chen Mu's scalp tingled.

Before he could react, the big cat had already flipped over and leaped up, closing the distance between them by half.

"Five Ghosts Possession Technique!" Chen Mu almost instinctively unleashed his strongest secret technique.

His height suddenly increased to two and a half meters, his muscles swelled and stretched, his skin was indigo, and his forehead shimmered with silver light.

Then the space between his eyebrows opened, and a cool breath wafted out.

"Its power is restricted for a hundred miles!"

The large cat that was rushing towards them suddenly stopped.

"Innuendo!"

puff!
A fist-sized hole suddenly appeared on the big cat's forehead.

His azure eyes still held the ferocity of a predator pouncing on its prey, but his muscles had involuntarily relaxed and lost their strength.

Chen Musong released his breath, which could travel for hundreds of miles.

Pfft!
The large black cat immediately collapsed to the ground.

Just...that's it?
Chen Mu was so frightened by the big cat's counterattack that his hair almost stood on end.

Who would have thought that he would be taken down in just two moves!
"I think I'm actually pretty good, huh..."

"Ha ha!"
