My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 805 Wasps
The full moon hung in the sky, and Mingling Island was deathly silent, devoid of wind or insect chirps.

Somewhere on the edge of the flying island, a golden light streaked across the sky and landed, revealing Chen Mu's figure.

He reached out slightly towards the edge of the island and soon touched an invisible barrier.

"Five-Front Flag".

Chen Mu frowned slightly, raised his foot as if to rush out, but suddenly stopped.

"Jiang Daojun, are you aware of the changes that have occurred on the island?"

After a moment's thought, his expression turned serious.

"The Dao soldiers all fell into a dreamlike state, but Daoist Jiang did not react at all."

"Either the other party was also affected, or... or the other party knew but chose not to help!"

If it's the former, that's fine; you just need to get past the barrier and get away quickly.

If it's the latter...

"He wants to use the dreamlike illusion to block the news of the Spirit Eye on Mingling Island!"

"In that case, if I force my way through the Five Banners barrier, I will surely alert them."

"If they find out that I've not only broken free from the dream, but also want to escape Mingling Island..."

Chen Mu suddenly felt his scalp tighten.

That was Jiang Daojun, who had cultivated the true form of a celestial demon, comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator. He was a whole realm higher than me; they could practically be considered beings on two different levels.

Even a casual strike from the opponent could cost me my life!
But if we don't leave...

Think of those giant silkworm cocoons in the camp, and then think of those Qi cultivators who turned into moth-like demon corpses.

Chen Mu's eyes hardened.

go!
We have to go!
Staying means certain death; only by risking our lives to break free can we have a chance of survival!
"Fellow Daoist Chen, where are you headed?"

A voice suddenly rang out from behind.

Just as Chen Mu was about to exert his strength, he was jolted and turned around abruptly. He then discovered that Wu Jie had silently appeared behind him without him noticing.

How could someone approach me so silently?
That was too careless!

Chen Mu secretly shook his Jade Cicada Dao Foundation to confirm that the figure before him was not a dream or illusion, and narrowed his eyes.

All the Taoist soldiers of the Renzi Battalion fell into a dreamlike state. Was Wu Jie, who was standing in front of them, awake or still in a dreamlike state?
"The night is long and I can't sleep, so I've come out for a stroll." His heart was pounding, but his face was relaxed and calm.

"I still have to go to my Gengzi Camp tomorrow to deal with the Mingling Demon." Wu Jie smiled. "That's a demanding job, and I can't afford to be tired if I don't sleep well."

Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat.

Isn't this just a fabricated scene from a dream?

Wu Jie knew that too?
“It’s getting late, fellow Daoist, you should return to the camp as soon as possible,” Wu Jie advised.

"I'll be right back." Chen Mu nodded with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist, please go first." He gestured politely.

"Hey, you're always so polite." Wu Jie pointed at Chen Mu, shook his head and chuckled, "Alright, I'll go first then."

next moment.

boom!
A large ball of blue flames erupted from beneath Chen Mu's feet, instantly engulfing him completely.

At the same time, a beam of black and white light silently flew out from the night and headed straight for Wu Jie's head.

hum!
Layers of dark green barriers exploded around Chen Mu, blocking the blue flames.

With a flash of golden light, he easily escaped the flames and fled more than a hundred meters away.

the other side.

Wu Jie was like a phantom, with the yin and yang energies flowing through his body.

A huge crater was blasted into the ground in the distance, but Wu Jie was unharmed.

"As expected!" Wu Jie stood there, smiling as he looked at Chen Mu.

"They're hiding something," Chen Mu said with a smile.

……

"Tell me, whose spy are you?"

"Are you in such a hurry to leave Mingling Island because you want to tell your master about the Spirit Eye?" Wu Jie's expression quickly turned cold.

"As long as Daojun ascends to the Investiture of the Gods, he will bestow upon us great rewards. At that time, we will have all kinds of magical treasures and secret techniques."

"Tip me on? You're blocking my way!" His face was cold and hard.

He stared at Chen Mu for a while, then sighed and softened his expression: "After all, we're comrades-in-arms, I don't want to fight you to the death."

“Come back with me now, and I can pretend nothing happened.”

"Besides, even if you spread the news, can you guarantee that the person behind you won't kill you to silence you?"

“Even if you don’t silence them, what will you get? Daoist techniques and magic treasures? But Daoist Jiang can give you those too,” Wu Jie patiently advised.

"Go back with you, and then become a caterpillar demon?" Chen Mu sighed with a complicated expression.

If it were that simple, I wouldn't have run away.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Wu Jie frowned.

"Fellow Daoist, think about it carefully. Don't you feel that the people and things around you have an air of falsehood?" Chen Mu tried to guide the other's thinking: "Have you ever considered that you might be in a dream?"

What do you mean?
Wu Jie looked at Chen Mu with suspicion.

"This is the strange thing about the Mystic Sky; it pulls us all into a dreamlike state."

"If you can't break free, you'll eventually become a caterpillar demon."

"At that time, not only will Jiang Daojun not keep his promise, but he will also have a legitimate reason to kill us to silence us!" Chen Mu earnestly advised.

"No way..." Wu Jie's eyes darted around, half believing and half doubting. "Why not? Besides..." Chen Mu stared at Wu Jie's fair face, his expression grave.

He hadn't noticed it before, but now that he had suddenly escaped the dream, he realized something was wrong.

Initially, Wu Jie was short and stocky with a fleshy face. His skin was also bumpy, like the peel of a pomegranate.

Now the other person has a well-proportioned figure, fair skin, and handsome features. He even looks somewhat like the little guy from Mingling Island, Wu Neng'er!

"Haven't you ever doubted that your figure is becoming more and more harmonious and your face more and more handsome? Does the Jade Void Mantra for reshaping limbs really have this effect?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Jie's expression changed.

"I've always been this handsome!"

"What kind of dreamlike illusion is this? I think you're just spouting lies and deceiving the public!"

Chen Mu: "..."

You're really confident in your looks!

……

Just as Chen Mu was about to speak again to dissuade him, his head suddenly felt heavy.

It was as if something was suppressing my consciousness, making my reactions somewhat sluggish.

Unbeknownst to them, a crystal-clear, silkworm-like insect appeared outside the Dao Foundation Spirit Seed.

It exhaled translucent silk threads, which slowly enveloped the jade seed.

"Hehe, finally caught the trap." Wu Jie, who was just indignant, smiled.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, I really underestimated you."

"They can perceive the hazy dream state and even break free from it."

"That won't do."

“Everyone is inside, how can you leave alone?” Wu Jie looked at Chen Mu with a smile.

"I was originally planning to wait until you were fully cocooned before planting this wasp worm in you."

"If all goes well, you will be able to ascend to the heavens in one step and directly cultivate the true form of the Celestial Demon, standing shoulder to shoulder with the Dao Lord."

"Now, tsk tsk, you'll most likely end up as that mindless, incomplete mole-like monster." He laughed with a gloating expression.

"You can't blame anyone else for this; it's your own fault for not being honest."

He had only laughed a few times when he noticed out of the corner of his eye that a colorless flame had somehow climbed up his sleeve.

Wu Jie's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously waved his sleeves, trying to shake off the flames.

But the flames resembled a startled, hunting venomous snake.

boom!
A colorless flame suddenly rose up, shooting rapidly upwards along his right hand and covering his shoulder in the blink of an eye.

A sharp pain that went straight to the depths of his soul instantly struck him, and Wu Jie couldn't help but roar in agony.

His figure shifted rapidly, switching back and forth between reality and illusion like a poorly positioned image, trying to shake off the flames.

No matter how much he struggled, it was all in vain. In just a few breaths, colorless flames had already covered half of his body.

"I have mastered the true form of the Celestial Demon, which allows me to transform into a demon spirit and be impervious to all magic! How could mere flames possibly..." He roared in disbelief.

"It's you!" Wu Jie suddenly looked up at Chen Mu.

Only then did they realize that Chen Mu, who had looked confused just moments before, now had clear eyes and was no longer in a daze.

"Impossible! How could you have escaped the erosion of the wasp!" Wu Jie's pupils suddenly contracted to needle size.

Chen Mu stared at Wu Jie expressionlessly and without saying a word.

At this moment, the thirty-two layers of dark green spiritual light were enveloping the Dao Foundation Jade Seed, effectively blocking the insects and silkworms.

Long ago, the Heavenly Demon Armor absorbed the energy within a hundred miles of the Qi Restriction, gaining the ability to resist attacks from spirits and gods.

Now that the Heavenly Demon Armor has reached its full potential, it has evolved into the innate protective energy of countless demons, forming thirty-two layers of defense, making it increasingly powerful.

The wasp was strange, but it was similar to the Yellow Millet Plague from before. Both were Gu worms that attacked spirits and eroded jade seeds, and they were blocked by the Heavenly Demon Armor.

"But what if I don't have the Heavenly Demon Armor..."

The flames of delusions and the seven emotions ignited outside the foundation of the Dao.

With a short, agonizing scream, the tiny, transparent insect was burned to death after only a few struggles. The transparent silk it had expelled was also burned away and disappeared.

Chen Mu came to his senses and looked at Wu Jie with increasingly cold eyes.

Having repeatedly tried to escape the Seven Emotions Flames without success, Wu Jie glared fiercely at Chen Mu: "Is this flame a curse technique?"

"Was it something they did when they replenished my qi and blood back then?"

"You insidious scoundrel!"

"I didn't want to either." Chen Mu's expression was calm, but his heart was filled with complicated feelings.

At that time, Wu Jie was rebuilding his body and was suffering from a deficiency of qi and blood. Chen Mu used the Soul-Seizing and Rejuvenating Technique to replenish his vital energy.

At that time, it was just a habitual intake of some Qi.

Chen Mu can guarantee with his character that he never intended to harm anyone.

After all, I'm a good person.

did not expect……

"In the end, it's just that life is tough and it's hard to be a good person," Chen Mu said with a disappointed look.

Nightmare Victory Spell!

The flames of delusions and emotions that could scorch the spirit and god, following the energy of the incantation, bypassed his innate protective energy and attacked Wu Jie's body again.

boom!
Wu Jie was instantly engulfed by colorless flames!
