My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 157 reveals
The southern area of ​​Qingshan County.

Black smoke swirled around Chen Mu, lightly touching the rooftop like a black lightning bolt before disappearing in the blink of an eye.

He quickly climbed up the watchtower on the south side of the city.

In the past, this place was manned around the clock, watching for any fires that might break out in the city and quickly dispatching firefighters to extinguish them. It was like an ancient version of a fire brigade.

Chen Mu stepped onto the dougong brackets and flying eaves, leaping to the top. Looking around, rows of houses stood, yet they exuded an air of desolation and death. The surrounding silence was unsettling.

The once vast Qingshan County is now a ghost town. Countless unseen ghosts still roam within its walls.

If things are like this here, what kind of devastation must be taking place in the heart of Daliang?

Taking a deep breath, Chen Mu stopped thinking and quickly located a turbulent area.

With Cui Cui and Bai Miaojin around, Tang Shanjun couldn't take advantage of the situation.

"I hope there will be an opportunity here." Chen Mu looked into the distance with some trepidation.

boom!
A loud bang suddenly came from the commotion.

Looking around, one could see houses in a residential area suddenly collapsed and broken.

Dozens of people dressed in khaki armor spread out in a circle, charging headlong into the center like wild bulls.

A large plume of black smoke appeared and disappeared intermittently, knocking away those who rushed up.

But that layer of armor, which seemed to be carved from stone, was indestructible.

The person who was knocked away will quickly spring back up and crash into the air again.

Dozens of people worked together, clashing and fighting for an hour, until finally a muffled thunderclap exploded.

The ghostly spirits transformed into specks of black fluorescence and dissipated.

"A set of magical artifacts similar to the Tangshan Army's Wuding Ring?" Chen Mu looked thoughtfully at the earthen-yellow armor.

It probably follows the same approach of concentrating vital energy to enhance the user's special power.

After the battle, the group continued their advance into the city.

They attack surrounding buildings from time to time. Just like a bulldozer, they leave behind only ruins and flat ground wherever they go.

"Proceed little by little, to alert the enemy?" Chen Musong sighed.

"The opportunity has arrived!"

"As soon as the Thousand Machine Token appears, use the Shadow Spirit Invisibility to approach it."

"Then use the Five Ghosts Moving Mountains technique to teleport within a range of nine meters."

"Finally, use the invisibility ability of the ghost to carefully escape."

"As long as my identity isn't revealed, everything will be fine!"

Steal it without anyone noticing, and run away safely and discreetly!

“It’s just that getting too close is a bit risky.” Chen Mu hesitated for a moment, then immediately felt relieved: “Compared to the Thousand Machine Token, what is this risk?”

"Moreover, I have paper dolls that can hide."

"If you want to catch me, you'd better figure out my whereabouts first." Chen Mu chuckled as he looked at the Jinghong Gang, who were causing trouble in the distance.

"Even if these contestants are like headless flies, they won't be able to spot me if I stand in front of them!" Chen Mu was completely relieved.

Not everyone has Cui Cui's abilities.

"Isn't that a sure thing? All we have to do is wait for them to find the Thousand Machine Token for me. Hehe..."

Thinking of this, Chen Mu looked at the crowd in the distance with dissatisfaction: "It took them an hour to kill just one ghost, they're not working hard enough!"

Then he noticed that the team, which had been running around like headless flies, had suddenly assembled.

They turned around and headed straight for the watchtower beneath him.

Chen Mu: “…”

This must be a coincidence!

Then he watched helplessly as three rough, clumsy men dressed in khaki armor charged straight at him, leaping through the air like lead balls and smashing through the watchtower with a bang.

The other dozens of rough men in khaki armor followed suit, blindly rushing upstairs.

Before long, the site of the watchtower was reduced to ruins.

That wasn't the end of it. This group of simple-minded, earthy-brown people continued their attacks, starting from the Fire Lookout Tower, chasing after Chen Mu and carrying out demolitions.

Chen Mu glanced at them helplessly: "These people can't see, but they can sense it."

I don't know what methods were used.

Chen Mu looked back one last time, then turned into a black lightning bolt and disappeared beside the city wall.

"We can only try our luck with King Chao."

……

Compared to the demolition teams in the east and south of the city.

The area to the north of the city is much quieter.

If he hadn't run to the top of the watchtower in the north of the city to observe...

They might have missed Chao Tianwang and his group.

"Only fourteen people?" Chen Mu asked in surprise.

Both the Jinghong Gang and the Tangshan Army formed small teams of forty or fifty people to attack the Yin spirits.

Chao Tianwang's side, however, only had fourteen people in total.

First, there were the twelve heavenly generals scattered around, carrying the soul-stabilizing stakes. Chen Mu also saw sincerity among them.

"Back when you killed that round-faced general, Chao Fang chose Cheng Yi to take his place?"

Behind the twelve people was a square-faced man holding a bright yellow scroll, also an acquaintance. He was the new neighbor they had only met once before.

"Is it really King Chao?" Chen Mu asked in surprise.

"Who is that burly man?" Chen Mu frowned as he looked at the imposing figure beside Chao Tianwang.

Standing two meters tall, with arms thicker than his thighs and muscles bulging under his face, he was practically the muscular monster of his dreams.

"Even more ferocious than Brother Mengjiang," Chen Mu sighed.

This person must be a master.

"Can I still snatch this Thousand Machine Token?" Chen Mu thought with a worried expression.

Let's wait and see for a few days.

We need to figure out how Chao Tianwang attacks the spirits.

……

Looking up at the sky, Chen Mu turned and left.

It was already afternoon, dinnertime, and he had to go back to help get the food.

Before leaving, Chen Mu glanced at his proficiency level. In just one afternoon, his proficiency in Spirit Armor Technique had increased by another eleven points.

"What exactly is the pattern?" Chen Mu scratched his head.

As he practiced, he felt subtle changes in his skin.

I always feel a slight chill penetrating my skin.

But upon closer inspection, it disappears.

If there's one obvious change, it's that he can eat more!
"Fortunately, I prepared quite a few Bigu Pills 2.0."

I've finished using version 3.0, so I'll have to use the old version for now.

"We're practically fighting with the Five Ghost Bags for food. Really..." Chen Mu said with a worried expression. "What if we really attract the Dragon King's attention?"

……

Dingyou Battalion Cook Army.

Chen Mu stealthily entered the tent, took out two wild rabbits that he had caught at random, and put them down.

He put away the lingering spirit of autumn, tied on his apron, and stepped out of the tent.

"Did you catch him?" Short and stocky Zheng Yuan asked anxiously, waving his huge rice ladle and staring at his small eyes.

"Hmm, two wild rabbits," Chen Mu said, feigning ignorance.

This was his excuse for sneaking out of the military camp in broad daylight to catch wild game.

"Da Wang is really capable!" The group of cooks immediately beamed with joy.

"I'm going to get my food." Chen Mu, with great awareness, picked up a large ladle and headed to the food counter to put his food in.

"Dawang," Sun Enqi called out to Chen Mu, "You go out every day, what if something happens to you? You'd better not..."

Before he could finish speaking, he met Chen Mu's calm eyes on his expressionless face.

"Don't be careless, you have to be careful!" Sun Enqi said with concern, but inside he was panicking.

"Thank you for your concern, Uncle Qi." Chen Mu smiled and said, "I'll go help put out the food."

"Oh, okay, don't tire yourself out..." Sun Enqi said sincerely.

After Chen Mu had walked away, he muttered with a worried look, "What if something happens?"

"Are you scared? Why don't you share your piece of meat with me? I'm not scared." Zheng Yuan chuckled.

"Get lost!" Sun Enqi rolled his eyes.

"Even if you wanted to stop him, you couldn't," Zheng Yuan chuckled. "Your nephew is no ordinary person."

Sun Enqi looked up at the smiling cooks around him and couldn't help but sigh: "Why don't you go and persuade them for me?"

The cooks who had been joining in the fun just moments before scattered in all directions.

Zheng Yuan tried to run away, but Sun Enqi grabbed her: "You two are the best of friends, why don't you go and tell them?"

Zheng Yuan hesitated for a long time before saying, "I dare not!"

Zheng Yuan himself was puzzled, but whenever he looked directly into the other person's eyes, he felt as if he had been knocked down by the other person many times.

Instinctive fear
“With his small frame, you’re afraid of him?” Sun Enqi glared at him.

"If you're not afraid, then you go do it," the short, stocky man retorted, sticking his neck out.

Sun Enqi remained silent for a long time: "I dare not..."

Fifth Brother, oh Fifth Brother, the honest kid you described is just too honest. He's become a little tyrant!
Nothing has been done yet. Nineteen people are terrified.

Not far away, Chen Mu paused with his spoon, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Never underestimate anyone."

He thought he had hidden it well, but he never expected that the cooks would eventually see through his disguise.

That makes sense. The ten cooks live together day and night; they know exactly who grinds their teeth or farts in their sleep. It's normal for them to notice something.

"It's good that everything is peaceful..." Chen Mu squinted.
