My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 576 Catching Monsters

South of Chongmei Mountain, above Yunze Lake, a gray falcon with its wings folded, pierced through the clouds like a sharp arrow and dived towards the water surface where a large blue-black fish was swallowing duckweed.

The next moment, a black beam of light suddenly rushed out from the bottom of the water. The falcon was caught off guard and was suddenly hit by the black light.

  puff!

The falcon, which was nearly half a meter long, shrank and shattered in an instant, leaving only a few broken and dry feathers floating in the air.

Chongmei Mountain, Chenmu Cave.

Chen Mu stared at the black beam of light in the distance, and a sense of déjà vu came over him.

"Yes, it's Jilongdao Wuyan Mountain!" A memory emerged in his mind.

First, a sudden black light shot up into the sky, and then a ghost appeared out of nowhere, and all the living beings within a radius of dozens of miles were destroyed. He had seen this scene in Dongling Wuyan Mountain. At that time, he also used the ghost to kill Sun Wuhuan and accidentally obtained the Huangquan Zong Gang secret method scripture.

"At first, it was said that the wild cultivators of Dongling were causing chaos, offering blood sacrifices to the evil demons from outside the sky to attack Wuyan Mountain. But the three thousand miles of Yunchong Lower Courtyard is all the territory of the Eyang Sect, so where did the enemy come from to attack Yunchong Lower Courtyard?" Chen Mu's mind raced: "Is it a conspiracy by the other seven sects of Yunzhou? Or is it a secret plot by the Daqian Suolong Courtyard?"

While he was thinking, the Di Ting Fa sent forth waves again. From the four directions of east, west, south, and north of Chongmei Mountain, several identical black beams of light shot up into the sky.

Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat, and black smoke suddenly appeared behind him. He immediately took a step back, entered Qiandeng City and disappeared.

……

In front of the three-story building in Qiandeng City, Chen Mu kept the gate of Qiandeng City open. Looking through the huge jade window in the cave outside, the scene near the black light column twenty miles away was vaguely visible.

Balls of black smoke, two or three people tall, with scarlet light flashing inside, were constantly emerging from the black light column.

"Why does it look a bit like a ghost?" Li Moliang, who had been taken into Qiandeng City by Chen Mu earlier, looked at the dark smoke in the sky with doubt and surprise.

"That's a ghost. There's no essential difference between the two." Chen Mu said as he squinted his eyes.

"Will they also devour living beings?" Li Moliang couldn't help but sigh: "With so many ghosts wreaking havoc, the disciples in the lower house will probably suffer heavy casualties."

"We really can't let them run rampant like this." Chen Mu said solemnly.

Almost all the disciples in the lower house are proficient in thunder magic. What if these ghosts are killed by thunder magic... what a pity!

  I have to quickly catch them and put them into the Five Ghosts Bag, which can not only prevent the ghosts and the lower house disciples from being hurt, but also help me practice. It's good for you, me and everyone, this is a win-win situation for all three!

Thinking of this, he immediately stepped out of Qiandeng City.

……

At the top of Mount Chongmei, in the second-floor attic, the walls, doors and windows are covered with intricate and strange black magic symbols.

In the center of the room, a jade bottle as tall as an arm was floating in the air.

Huang Ju, dressed in a black Taoist robe, stood in front of the jade bottle, chanting incantations. As he chanted incantations, the patterns on the walls around him seemed to come alive and began to move.

The air was distorted, and a black primordial energy as thin as a hair emerged from the void. Then, like a small insect swimming in the water, it slowly flew into the jade bottle.

Huang Ju smiled as he watched the scene unfold. Lian Xi, who was guarding the law beside him, couldn't help but be excited.

The two were just feeling happy when the flashing black patterns on the wall suddenly began to flicker, flickering like a light bulb with unstable voltage.

The Hunyuan Qi floating in the air began to tremble before it could be collected into the jade bottle, and then exploded into a gust of wind.

The Hunyuan Qi that originally appeared in an endless stream also became intermittent and extremely difficult to generate.

Huang Ju suddenly turned his head and stared at Lian Xi: "Is this what you said, there will be no problem? This is the guarantee you gave me?!"

He now wished he could kill Lian Xi with a blast of lightning.

The forbidden method of Yin-Yang Transformation has been activated and there is no way to stop it. The land veins of Yunchong's lower house will definitely be destroyed. If the Hunyuan Qi cannot be collected, then it will be a waste of time!

Lian Xi was even more shocked and angry than Huang Ju.

"I checked all the laws and prohibitions three times. How could it be possible..."

"But the fact is that something has gone wrong now!" "I'll go check it out right away." Lian Xi was sweating profusely.

"If there is any problem in the plan, don't blame me for being cruel!" Huang Ju stared at Lian Xi with a gloomy face, and a murderous aura locked around Lian Xi.

Lian Xi's whole body stiffened, and fear rose in his heart.

"Don't worry, I will definitely find a fix for the problem." He didn't dare to stay any longer, and immediately used his escape technique to quickly jump out of the second-floor attic.

……

On the east side of Chongmei Mountain, in Chen Mudong Mansion.

While spreading the Diligent Listening Technique, Chen Mu performed the Five Elements Escape Technique, transforming into a breeze and blending into the air.

It is impossible for so many ghosts to appear out of thin air, they must have been brought here by human intervention. He wanted the ghosts, but he didn't want to fight the people behind the scenes.

The Five Elements Escape Technique is the innate magical power of the celestial demon. It is not fast, but can escape into everything. Its concealment is extremely high.

"Self-defense measures must not be missed."

As he thought about it, the protective spiritual light of the divine orifice covered his entire body like a close-fitting armor, and the five-dragon energy containing silver threads also swirled around his body.

In the palm of his right hand, a flash of lightning crackled and a Kuishui Yin Lei was already in his hand.

A black and red statue appeared and disappeared behind him, and the giant spirit god urged it on, ready to increase its strength at any time.

Five little paper figures also stood on the shoulders with solemn expressions, ensuring that no matter whether it was the five ghosts or the order of King Yama, they could be called upon at any time.

After completing all preparations, Chen Mu took a deep breath and immediately floated towards the sky on the east side of Chongmei Mountain.

Twenty miles away, it only took a few breaths to arrive.

Chen Mu did not rush to show up, but hid in the clouds in the sky and observed his surroundings carefully.

A black beam of light with a diameter of seven or eight meters first came into view. Its surface looked like a layer of transparent water curtain, and the inside was dark and deep, like endless void.

The light column was over a hundred meters high, its bottom submerged to an unknown depth underwater, while its top pierced into the void. Several black cracks vaguely appeared around it, as if a hole had been poked in the sky.

At this moment, a ball of black smoke twisted and swayed on the surface of the light column, struggling hard to move outwards. Not long after, it popped and squeezed out of the black light column.

It spun around in a daze for a while, and then the whole ball of black smoke began to shrink and gather energy. Then there was a bang, like a cannonball, and it shot rapidly towards the top of Chongmei Mountain.

"The light column is similar to the gate of hell. Is it a special portal leading to some unknown place? No wonder so many ghosts and monsters come here." Chen Mu suddenly realized.

"I just don't know if this column of light connects to the underworld." He couldn't imagine that apart from the underworld, there would be so many ghosts and monsters surviving somewhere else.

"This portal cannot be the Natural New City. There must be someone behind it." Chen Mu activated the Di Listening Technique again and carefully explored the surroundings, but found nothing.

That being the case...

He couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

  The order of Emperor Yama!

A black smoke ball that had just emerged from the black light column was constantly expanding and shrinking, very irritably exploring the surrounding environment. But the next moment it trembled all over, and the entire black smoke ball instantly calmed down, like a puppet, and flew straight into an ordinary cloud in the sky.

Just as he entered the mist, a black smoke appeared out of nowhere, popping out like a frog poking its tongue out to catch a bug. The ghost was instantly captured and pulled back, and in the blink of an eye it was put into the Five Ghosts Bag.

Chen Mu was like a compressed spring, his magic power surging inside him, but his whole body remained motionless. He frequently activated the Diligent Listening Technique and closely monitored his surroundings.

But after a while, nothing unexpected happened. There was no one guarding the black light column!

"Since no one cares..." Chen Mu looked at the black light column from which ghosts and monsters kept coming out, and a hint of eagerness suddenly appeared in his eyes.
