My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 146 Similar
Outside the T-shaped section of the Minfu (a type of road), there is a rocky beach on the shore of Crescent Lake.

Five or six men in black were either sitting or standing.

A brazier was placed between the group of people. A faint scent of insect repellent wafted from the flames.

Snapped!
Shangguan Yu slapped himself in the face, killing a rampant mosquito.

The flickering firelight illuminated his face, making it appear somber.

He has been feeding on mosquitoes here for six days.

"Damn rats!"

"Young Master, that person might have already escaped." A man in black cautiously suggested, "How about we just let it go?"

They live in constant fear and struggle against evil spirits during the day. And at night they have to feed on mosquitoes. It's not a good time for them either.

Shangguan Yu nodded slightly; he had wanted to leave for a long time.

He couldn't mention the matter of voluntarily withdrawing.

Otherwise, his father, Shangguan Ji, would definitely scold him for being impatient.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look up at the imposing figure opposite him.

The other person's face and hands were covered in black, which was actually filled with a powerful aura!

A mosquito landed on the back of the other person's hand, looked up and bit down hard, breaking off their mouth!
Shangguan Yu: "..."

You think you're so bold, causing trouble all the time!

Shangguan Yu tried to adjust her expression, and said in a friendly and gentle tone, "Miss Bai, what do you think?"

That was close! I almost called him Brother Bai!

Cui Cui, sitting next to Bai Miaojin, chuckled and said, "He wants you to take the blame for him."

He spoke so blatantly, yet Shangguan Yu seemed not to hear him at all.

Bai Miaojin glanced at Shangguan Yu expressionlessly: "Yes, they ran away."

"Right!" Shangguan Yu exclaimed excitedly.

"Then, shall we retreat?" Shangguan Yu asked with a smile.

"Okay." Bai Miaojin nodded nonchalantly.

“Since Miss Bai has spoken, let’s leave. It’s not worth getting Miss Bai bitten by mosquitoes over a rat,” Shangguan Yu said with a smile.

"Mosquitoes can't bite me," Bai Miaojin said calmly.

Shangguan Yu: "..."

No need to emphasize, I saw it!
Shangguan Yu pretended not to hear and said to herself, "I'll try one last time. If the resonance is still faint, then we'll leave!"

The other men in black echoed with smiles.

Now you can leave.

As he spoke, he raised his right hand, revealing a gold and white jade ring on his wrist, and just like the past six days, he casually uttered the incantation.

hum!
Like a swarm of bees, the white jade ring suddenly buzzed.

Shangguan Yu looked on in astonishment: "Really...really out?!"

His face immediately lit up with surprise: "Go after them!"

Shangguan Yu immediately darted out in the direction of the jade ring's vibration, followed closely by the other men in black.

……

Chen Mu was controlling the paper doll's spirit to fly into Crescent Lake when he suddenly noticed a group of people rushing towards him from behind.

"Aren't these the people who inspect the iron rings every day?"

"Staying up all night, hiding outside and keeping watch, that's so dedicated?"

Seeing the group heading straight for the Yin spirit, Chen Mu suddenly realized.

"As expected, they have a sensing method."

Chen Mu sighed, these people are really persistent.

For six consecutive days, they checked during the day and guarded at night, not afraid of hardship.

"In that case, let's work a little harder."

……

At one o'clock in the morning, Chen Mu threw away the gold and white jade ring and controlled the paper effigy's spirit to return home.

"It's a pity they only ran eight laps around Crescent Lake before stopping," Chen Mu sighed. "These people aren't stupid."

"Forget it, now that we've thrown away the gold and white jade ring, the matter is probably over." Chen Mu said with a sense of relief.

Although they searched for several days, they couldn't find him.

However, if this goes on for too long, it's hard to guarantee that the other party won't resort to extreme measures.

What if he suddenly loses his mind and pulls out all the Yin-Yang threads? He'll be exposed immediately.

"It's just a pity about that gold-threaded white jade ring."

That should also be a magical artifact.

“Safety is paramount.”

"This way, I've avoided disaster by spending money. I can finally lie low in peace. Once I've mastered the Armor Soul, I'll..."

"Sun Dawang, you're not being honest."

A clear, crisp voice suddenly rang out behind him.

Chen Mu's scalp tingled, and he whirled around. A hidden sword in his sleeve!
Whoosh!
The ebony dagger pierced the figure behind him.

Chen Mu's expression changed drastically.

"Cui Cui?!"

What terrified him even more was that the short sword had clearly pierced through her body, yet she remained standing there unharmed.

Like a phantom, it has no physical form!
The next moment, a powerful figure suddenly passed through Cui Cui's body.

The dark, massive fist, like a giant hammer, slammed down towards Chen Mu's face.

Chen Mu instinctively raised his left arm to block.

boom!
Fists and arms collide.

A sudden impact force spread from the point of collision.

scoff!

Chen Mu's sleeve was instantly torn to shreds by the impact.

"Ha!" Bai Miaojin's eyes lit up: "Finally, someone can catch my punch!"

Her mouth was wide open, and her face was contorted with excitement.

laugh!
A plume of white smoke billowed from its mouth and nose.

The next moment, her fists suddenly tore through the air and rained down.

The force of the punch cut through the air, and Chen Mu's face was scraped painfully.

An extreme sense of danger instantly assaulted his mind.

A terrifying, dark aura burst forth with unbridled power.

hum!
His muscles suddenly swelled up.

In an instant, he transformed from a thin young man who was 1.75 meters tall into a burly, sweaty man who was 1.9 meters tall.

"You want to kill me? I'll kill you first!"

Hidden dagger!
Ding ding ding ding...

Fists and short swords clashed repeatedly, and the violent impacts instantly soared into the sky.

In just three breaths, the two collided ninety-three times.

A sudden fierce glint appeared in Chen Mu's eyes.

Despite the risk of the opponent breaking through his defenses, he was slightly distracted.

"The Five Ghosts..."

"stop!"

A clear, crisp voice rang out between the two.

Bai Miaojin's imposing figure suddenly retreated.

You think I'll stop just because you say so?

"Five Ghosts Moving..."

But the next moment, the ghostly spirit of the paper doll he summoned was suddenly pulled out of hiding by Cui Cui!

Chen Mu was so shocked that he subconsciously stopped the Five Ghosts Moving Mountains and stared at Cui Cui in disbelief: "You..."

"Me? We're the same kind of people, aren't we?" Cui Cui blinked and smiled.

"That's quite powerful," Bai Miaojin said calmly.

It was as if the frenzied state from before had never occurred.

He caught ninety-three ebony sword strikes with his bare hands, his hands remaining intact, just like an ordinary person?!

"How strange." Cui Cui let go of her hand and poked at the black smoke in mid-air.

Without Chen Mu's control, the paper doll spirit just floated aimlessly in mid-air, letting Cui Cui knead it as she pleased.

"This guy only has survival instincts. How did you manage to achieve symbiosis?"

"Why didn't it eat you when it possessed you?"

Symbiosis? Possession? What the hell are you talking about?!

"Cui Cui, let's go." Bai Miaojin glanced at Chen Mu, then turned and left the tent.

"If I don't tell, and you don't tell, no one will know what happened tonight," Cui Cui said with a grin as she walked backwards.

"It's so rare to find someone like me, I hope they don't die."

Chen Mu stood there blankly.

If it weren't for the tattered sleeves reminding him, he would have thought he was dreaming!

Aren't these two here to arrest me?

Why did they suddenly start a fight and then leave?

Are they from the same kind? Have they misunderstood something?
And that Cui Cui, with her illusory figure and the ability to casually capture souls, she... isn't human, is she?!

After several encounters, he didn't notice anything at all?!
Chen Mu looked around; nothing had changed inside the tent.

The two fought fiercely, yet the battle raged on within a small area.

The nine comrades, who had been drugged with the bewitching smoke, remained completely unaware and slept soundly with their eyes closed.

Chen Mu looked bewildered: "Should I run, or run, or run..."
