My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 401 Arrest
Chen Mu stared at the five little paper figures with a serious expression.

"Is that thing harmful?"

The five little paper figures shook their heads in unison.

Will it ever reappear?

The little paper figure continued to shake its head.

"What can you do besides shake your heads?!"

The little paper figure was still shaking its head.

Depend on!
I was really scared out of my wits by that thing.

The paper figures of the Five Ghosts possess at most some spirituality, resembling ignorant and mischievous children, and are completely incomprehensible.

Chen Mu looked at his still cold right hand.

"What exactly is that thing?"

Is it one or a group?

"Did it cause the yellow sprout rice to wither?"

Having lived on Jilong Mountain for a year, he had never seen that long, snake-like white smoke with a human face. Now, the mountain was infected with wilt disease, and that thing just happened to appear. This made Chen Mu suspect that there might be some connection between the two.

Moreover, the thing disappeared in such a bizarre way.

It wasn't invisibility, nor did it fly away quickly; it simply vanished into thin air.

"Some kind of void escape technique? Boundary-breaking teleportation?"

"What if someone suddenly appeared behind me and bit me on the head..."

Chen Mu felt uneasy.

I tossed and turned in bed all night, terrified that thing would suddenly appear.

Only when the sun rose, the mountain mist rose, and people appeared at the foot of the mountain did he breathe a sigh of relief and gradually feel at ease.

……

Around noon, Song Wuji and Mo Wuzhou arrived at the spiritual field of Chaoyang Mountain once again.

Chen Mu stood on the second floor, watching from afar as the two tried several different methods to test, but still found nothing.

Should we tell Mo Wuzhou?

"If we can provoke Song Wuji to take action, we might be able to capture that monster and eliminate the threat forever."

"Okay, let's check it out first."

After breakfast, Chen Mu hurriedly went to the Scripture Transmission Academy and stayed there for the entire day.

They searched for information on strange beasts and monsters, and consulted with the Scripture Master, but to no avail.

It's not recorded in the book, and even the scholar who transmitted the scriptures didn't know.

"That thing is increasingly likely to cause wilt disease."

"What a good thing!"

“Song Wuji came here because of the withering disease. Once he learns of the existence of the white smoke monster, he will definitely take action to investigate.”

……

In the evening, Chen Mu sat in front of the porch.

Looking at the fiery red sunset on the horizon, I kept thinking about the white smoke with a human face that I saw last night.

"So, how were the Five Ghost Paper Dolls captured?"

"Is it because of the decree of the King of Hell?"

He tried to activate the Yama Decree, and an invisible wave immediately emanated from his body.

They cautiously watched their surroundings, but after a while, nothing unusual happened.

Chen Mu couldn't help but look at the little paper figure beside him: "How about you try to catch another one of those white smoke trails with human faces from last night?"

Upon hearing this, the five paper ghost figures immediately stood still in mid-air. Then, under Chen Mu's expectant gaze, they slowly swayed, and as they swayed, they began to dance happily, as if performing a shamanic ritual.

Chen Mu's face immediately darkened.

……

For several days.

Whether it was the Zhu Yu sword patrolling the mountain to search or the Di Ting technique probing in all directions, nothing was found.

The five paper ghosts flew around every day, but they never found that monster's white smoke again.

The yellow rice continued to wither, causing great anxiety among the disciples of Jilong Mountain.

"Did you find the reason?"

When Mo Wuzhou, who had not appeared for a month, came to visit again with Yuanbao, Chen Mu immediately couldn't wait to find out what was going on.

Mo Wuzhou shook his head helplessly.

"Senior Uncle Song suspected it was some kind of strange beast or demonic insect. However, after several searches, we found many demonic insects that could destroy spiritual rice and spiritual medicine, but none of them were the source of the withering disease."

Chen Mu's eyes narrowed immediately: "Didn't you find any particularly strange monsters?"

Mo Wuzhou shook his head again.

“Chicken Cage Mountain was once the core of the Upper Academy, and it has been explored countless times over the centuries.” “Some small insects may have successfully hidden themselves because they went unnoticed.”

"A bizarre monster? Impossible."

Chen Mu immediately frowned.

I really hadn't noticed.

"Is it possible that the strange beasts and insects are so rare that they hide in a rather secretive way, which is why they haven't been discovered?" he subtly suggested.

“Master Song is an expert in controlling demonic insects, how could any escape his grasp?” Mo Wuzhou waved his hand.

"What if it disappears into the void and hides?"

"Impossible." Mo Wuzhou chuckled. "Void Escape Technique isn't so easy to use. Even our Dao Master doesn't know how."

Chen Mu glanced at the other person: "You can't burrow underground either, but Yuanbao can."

"How can burrowing underground compare to teleportation between two realms? Hmm... Have you discovered something?"

As he spoke, Mo Wuzhou suddenly realized what he meant.

You must have discovered something!

Chen Mu smirked, his eyes narrowing into slits: "I didn't find anything."

"I just feel that the world is vast, and there are countless strange beasts and monsters. It's hard to guarantee that some monsters might have special abilities that allow them to evade your detection."

"The fact that the cause of the wilt disease could not be found in Chongshan Road suggests that its origin may be very rare."

"So..." Chen Mu shrugged with a smile.

"I'm going to find Senior Uncle Song!" After swallowing two pieces of roasted meat, Mo Wuzhou immediately mounted his escape light and rushed straight to the back mountain.

……

Perhaps Chen Mu's suggestion had an effect.

The next day, many unfamiliar faces arrived at Jilong Mountain and began to set up magical prohibitions all over the mountain.

Chen Mu observed for a long time, only knowing that it was some kind of solidification restriction, similar to the inter-realm isolation restriction that Sun Wujiu had set up. He couldn't understand anything more specific.

This went on for many days.

He kept a close eye on the movements around Jilong Mountain every day and tried to investigate himself, but unfortunately he never encountered that white smoke cloud again.

On the contrary, as he continued to ride his flying sword to patrol the mountains, he gained a lot of experience with the "Pulling Technique".

This night.

Second floor window.

Chen Mu lay in the rocking chair, the gray walls coming into view. He looked down at one of the columns.

Traction method: 35/10000/5th order;

With a thought, the palm-sized Zhu Yu magic sword began to flash around him, leaving streaks of red lines in mid-air.

"The speed is noticeably three points faster."

"Moreover, the Pulling Machine Technique has eight more magic talisman spirit seeds."

Chen Mu chuckled as he examined the jade seed inside his body.

Within the dark green smoke, eight white, semi-transparent threads moved nimbly within the dark, stone-like rune.

"That means I can control nine magic swords at once!"

"One Crimson Feather Magic Sword is already sharp enough, but what if all nine magic swords were used together..."

He couldn't help but get excited just thinking about it.

"That's right, the Pulling Technique is a secret method for controlling puppet soldiers, originally intended for a human wave tactic."

"It makes perfect sense for it to split into multiple magic rune spirit seeds after advancing."

"I'm only at level five now, but if I grind to the limit... haha!"

I'm imagining the scene where I can casually wave my hand and send countless swords flying through the sky.

A deafening roar suddenly erupted.

Chen Mu's expression changed, and the Zhu Yu magic sword shot into the sky in a flash.

The dark, gloomy back mountain came into view.

Under the bright stars and moon, a large patch of pale, eerie smoke enveloped Jilong Mountain.

With a series of loud explosions, fiery red light burst forth within the white smoke.

The next moment, an invisible force rose from all directions, firmly locking onto the area around Jilong Mountain.

"A magical restriction that confines the void?"

"Song Wuji actually managed to catch him!" Chen Mu was overjoyed.

Many people heard the commotion and rushed out of their rooms to the top of the mountain to watch.

Chen Mu also leaped up from the second floor, and then... then he disappeared into the ground in a flash.

With the two methods of listening and observing, he could watch from afar, so he didn't have to go to the mountaintop to watch.

That white mist looks eerie. What if we get caught in its influence?
