My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 85 Taste
Bang!

The hidden sword fell from mid-air and landed diagonally on the wooden board.

Chen Mu staggered backward, leaning against a pillar, panting heavily.

Fortunately, he managed to break through the opponent's spiritual light in time. Otherwise, Chen Mu himself would have been drained dry by the Five Ghosts Bag.

Looking at Si Kouyu, whose body was covered in only drops of blood, Chen Mu felt a chill run down his spine for no apparent reason.

Gudong!

Chen Mu swallowed hard, his expression complex.

He didn't want to...

But when the Five Ghosts Moving Mountains are activated, an intense devouring desire attacks relentlessly.

It felt completely different from when they were gnawing on rocks and dirt. Upon touching Sikou Yu's flesh and blood, the Five Ghost Bag's devouring desire increased exponentially.

If it weren't for the greed instilled by the Five Ghosts Bag, how could Chen Mu have possibly swallowed Si Kou Yu whole?!

Thinking about this made his stomach churn.

Just then, a commotion arose from the first floor outside.

Chen Mu's scalp tightened: "We can't stay here."

Ignoring the nausea, he quickly stuffed two fasting pills into his mouth.

He staggered to the middle of the house and retrieved the hidden sword that had fallen from Si Kouyu's body.

Noticing a silvery-white cicada lying on the ground nearby, Chen Mu crushed it to death with one kick.

This thing can be used to find ebony; it cannot be allowed to continue living.

Woo!
A single iron lotus seed pierced through the air with a casual flick of the wrist.

The man in black lying on the ground shuddered, and a large, round hole the size of a peanut appeared on his forehead. He quickly stopped breathing.

Chen Mu quickly walked to his side, just about to bend down and search the man's belongings.

Out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly caught sight of a figure.

A middle-aged man in his forties rushed from the third-floor stairwell to the door with a gloomy face.

Sincerity?!
Why is he here?! And his eyes are full of murderous intent. He's clearly up to no good!

He was completely exhausted and unable to fight. He was incredibly nervous, but he kept a straight face and tried his best to suppress the urge to turn away.

Chen Mu pulled out a pair of sheepskin gloves from his bosom, their surfaces stained with dried, dark gray bloodstains.

Gently pat and arrange the fabric, then slowly and carefully slip it onto your hands, gently moving your fingers to ensure the movements are smooth.

Then he slowly squatted down and skillfully picked and chose from the man in black.

He performed a series of actions as if no one else was around, completely ignoring the sincerity of the person standing to his side and behind him.

Cheng Yi, who had just been furious, felt a sudden jolt in his heart.

A blank white mask, a calm and indifferent gaze, skillful and elegant movements as he caresses the corpse, and old gloves stained with blood.

This person...

For no reason at all, I felt a chill run down my spine when I tried to be sincere.

The words he wanted to ask about Sikou Yu's whereabouts immediately stuck in his throat.

After a long while, Chen Mu finally searched the man in black thoroughly.

Silver notes, hidden weapons, and poison were all thrown out.

Chen Mu tucked a seemingly useless small bamboo tube into his sleeve.

Just as Cheng Yi was about to speak, he saw Chen Mu take off his right glove and gently poke the man in black's arm with his index finger.

It's like buying meat at a butcher shop, touching it with your fingers to test its quality.

Then Chen Mu withdrew his hand, tilted his head slightly, and stared at the corpse of the man in black without moving!

A peculiar emotion slowly surfaced in his eyes and intensified over time.

The person standing at the door felt a chill run down their spine.

That look in his eyes is so familiar; Chengming always gives me that look before meals!

Is this person... possibly a lunatic?!

The other person just stared at them without moving for half an hour.

Cheng Yi felt increasingly uneasy, his neck stiff and sore. Just as he was about to unleash his full power and give this lunatic a good beating,

The other person slowly stood up and asked gently and politely, "Who are you looking for?"

Then a cloud of black smoke suddenly appeared beneath the opponent's feet, spreading and slowly covering the man in black.

Gudong!

The other person swallowed a large mouthful of saliva.

The body of the man in black vanished into thin air. Sincerity: "..."

Madman! Madman! Madman!

This guy is definitely crazy!

He's also a madman who possesses an unknown magical artifact and can control it at will!

Just thinking about that billowing black smoke makes my skin twitch.

"I...I'm looking for Sikou Yu." Meeting the other person's gentle and calm gaze, Cheng Yi subconsciously stammered.

His voice and manner of speaking were just like when he was a child learning Taoist scriptures and was caught by his master sneaking a peek at comic books, feeling nervous and helpless.

"I'm so sorry you're a little late?" Chen Mu turned to look at the few drops of blood remaining on the floor not far away. His voice was as polite and gentle as ever. He involuntarily swallowed slightly.

"Sorry to bother you!" he said sincerely, then turned and left.

He didn't want to stay near this madman for even a second longer!

Si Kouyu is dead, and the man in black is dead too. If they stay here, they definitely won't be able to find Chengming's place.

Yes, that's it. I need to go find Chengming right away.

This is definitely not out of fear, I just don't want to waste my time with a lunatic!
Chen Mu stood calmly in place, his gaze fixed on Cheng Yi, and steadily escorted him out of sight.

The next moment, black smoke billowed out.

Broken wooden planks, warped iron lotus seeds, splattered blood... all the broken and scattered items in the room were gathered up in one go.

The room, which was a mess just a moment ago, is now spotless, as if it had been swept and scrubbed dozens of times.

Chen Mu felt like his pants were on fire; he took two steps to the window and jumped down.

It landed and tumbled silently, then a spirit appeared beneath its feet, transforming into a nimble falcon, and quickly disappeared into the pitch-black night.

……

Shanglinfang, Chen Residence.

Chen Mu sat at his desk, sipping warm milk slowly to calm his turbulent emotions.

Thinking back to what had just happened, Chen Mu still felt lingering fear.

Si Kouyu's unexpected protective aura.

A sincere and unexpected visit.

If there is even the slightest mistake, he won't be coming back tonight!

"When did I become so brave?!"

"Without knowing the enemy's situation, without making a detailed plan, and without considering the retreat route, they actually dared to charge straight in and kill people?!"

Moreover, they were slow and indecisive.

At that time, Sikou Yu pretended to be stupid, clearly trying to buy time to activate his protective aura.

If we had dealt with him more severely back then, none of what happened later would have occurred.

"I got carried away, I really got carried away!" Chen Mu thought with regret.

His skills improved steadily, and the tranquility of his life made him restless.

Fortunately, the Five Ghosts Moving Mountains worked wonders. Otherwise, they would have been tormented by Sikou Yu.

Think about Si Kouyu's plan to handle his own situation.

Crushing bones inch by inch? Horrible! The people of this world are too cruel!

"We still need to keep building up our trump cards," Chen Mu remarked sincerely.

"It's best to use the Five Ghosts Moving Mountains technique sparingly." That gluttonous impulse is too strong.

His first attack was proactive. The second, more aggressive attack, the devouring, was somewhat reactive. It was the Five Ghost Bag that affected him.

While cleaning up the Five Ghost Bag, Chen Mu discovered that it only contained the corpse of the man in black. Si Kou Yu hadn't even entered the bag; he had been eaten by it!
"The Five Ghosts Moving Mountains and Shifting Mountains are different." Chen Mu suddenly realized.

Teleportation is merely an extension of the Five Ghost Bag's spatial abilities.

The Five Ghosts Moving Mountains is the bag's devouring power; each time it is activated, it is filled with an intense craving for flesh and blood.

The intensity of the feeling was so strong that it affected Chen Mu's emotions, making him feel that the bag was alive.

"It really is a bit strange," Chen Mu sighed.

Thinking about the methods of making and using the Five Ghosts Bag, Chen Mu shook his head. It's practically a living thing, isn't it?

Feeding your pet meat regularly is just like having a pet, isn't it?

But... drooling in front of people?!

This pet has a rather strong palate.
