My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 194 First Look
“Brother, that Chen Mu might actually have a lot of white jade money,” the bald, burly man suddenly said.

"So you want to take action directly?" Dong Cheng glanced at the bald man. "Feeling frustrated after watching for three months? Want to vent your anger yourself?"

The bald, burly man scratched his head and chuckled.

Dong Cheng shook his head: "We can't be as reckless as before."

The bald, burly man quickly protested, "I'm telling the truth!"

"That Chen Mu goes to Tongtianfang every month."

"But he always comes back empty-handed, which is not normal!"

"He might have a mustard seed talisman!" The bald, burly man's eyes lit up.

"Other outsiders are all scheming and trying to save up enough white jade money to buy the secret method of the unity of the soul and spirit."

"But this person was unhurried and full of confidence."

Dong Cheng smirked and looked at the bald, burly man: "So you think he definitely has the white jade coins?"

"Yes!" The bald, burly man clenched his right fist and slammed it into his left palm, his face beaming with excitement.

"Sure," Dong Cheng grinned. "I didn't expect you to be able to spot it too."

The burly man's eyes widened: "Big brother, you figured it out too?"

"That……"

"Then why go to such lengths to ruin his yellow rice field?" Dong Cheng interjected.

The bald man looked completely bewildered.

"The key isn't the yellow sprout rice, but the earth spirit rat," Dong Cheng said, narrowing his eyes.

"Since a large number of earth spirit rats can run out of the mountains, and one or two ferocious beasts can also run out, it is not so difficult for everyone to accept."

Dong Cheng's lips curled slightly: "At this time, it's only natural that an outsider with only the Armor Soul cultivation level would encounter a strange and powerful beast. Due to insufficient preparation and understanding, he would die a miserable death in the beast's mouth!"

……

At the foot of the short mountain, there are rice fields with yellow buds.

A fist-sized white-striped ground squirrel quickly scurried to a stalk of yellow rice.

It sniffed lightly and confirmed that the main stem in front of it was crisp, tender and sweet.

The tiny, red, beady eyes of the child starved involuntarily into wide, round eyes!
With its two pink front paws, it rushed up and hugged Huang Yami, its mouth full of fine, serrated teeth, and bit down hard on the main stem!
puff!
It was as if an invisible giant mouth had suddenly appeared.

The earth spirit rat, with its mouth wide open, had half its head gnawed off.

The cut is clean and even, as if it had been cut by a sharp blade.

Before the blood inside his body could spurt out.

puff!
Another soft sound.

The entire earth spirit rat has completely disappeared.

……

"Brother is wise!" the bald, burly man exclaimed excitedly.

"Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit." Dong Cheng stared at the burly man: "When the time comes, you must not act on your own. You must cooperate with the others, concentrate your efforts to attack, and find out as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, brother! I know what's important," the bald man said solemnly.

Dong Cheng nodded in satisfaction, then suddenly paused.

Why is it so quiet outside?

"Go and see..."

puff!
It was as if an invisible giant mouth suddenly emerged from the void.

He bit the bald, muscular man in two with a single blow!
Dong Cheng's pupils suddenly contracted.

hum!
A semi-transparent black aura instinctively surfaced, and he suddenly leaped to the right and fled.

Almost the instant he left, the invisible giant maw reappeared.

Click!

The table and chairs he had just been sitting on were instantly gnawed into pieces.

"Who?!" Dong Cheng felt a chill run down his spine.

If he hadn't dodged in time, he would have been bitten in two!

He immediately pulled a palm-sized talisman from his chest. He then uttered three low, guttural incantations.

hum!
A ball of shimmering white light appeared around him.

Almost the instant the semi-transparent light shield appeared, the invisible giant maw reappeared and slammed into the light shield.

clang!
A loud bang suddenly exploded in the room. Looking at the light shield that rippled in circles, Dong Cheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, he noticed the changing light and shadow at the doorway. Dong Cheng turned his head sharply and discovered that a Taoist priest in black had appeared out of nowhere.

The other person was wearing a black Taoist robe, a white mask, and calm, unwavering eyes. He was Chen Mu, who had come here with the bald, burly man.

Three months ago, when the Five Ghosts Paper Doll was patrolling the Yellow Sprout Rice Field, he discovered that someone was spying on the low hill.

Chen Mu pretended not to know anything and instead began to monitor the group in reverse to prevent them from causing trouble.

Three months passed, and the other party still hadn't made a move. Chen Mu almost thought that the other party had given up.

But today, Chen Mu was preaching at the Scripture Academy and needed to stay in Tongtianfang for the whole day. This group of people couldn't hold back and started to destroy his yellow sprout rice field.

“Friend, there’s no need for us to fight to the death.” Dong Cheng said with a relaxed smile, “Being in the lower courtyard of Chicken Cage Sect, our goal is to improve our cultivation.”

“Arguments based on personal feelings are of no benefit to cultivation.”

"Why don't we sit down and talk..."

clang!
Before Dong Cheng could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the sound of an invisible giant maw crashing down. He immediately stopped smiling.

"This is a spirit talisman made by the Upper House. You can't break it."

Dong Cheng leisurely surveyed his surroundings: "An invisible attack, is it a magical artifact?"

"That must have taken a lot of energy, right?"

“Since he is someone I could offend, you must not have sensed the earth's spiritual energy.”

"Then activating the magic weapon will only draw upon the body's vital energy."

Dong Cheng smiled and said, "Want to fight me to the death? But how many more times can you activate this magic artifact?"

Chen Mu looked at Dong Cheng indifferently: "Five Ghosts Moving Mountains!"

clang clang clang clang...

A series of violent impacts echoed in the room.

The shimmering white light shield rippled involuntarily.

Dong Cheng himself was also repeatedly struck and kept in place.

But he remained calm and composed, instead looking at Chen Mu with a half-smile: "It's no use, I told you that long ago."

"After continuously activating the magical artifact, do you feel weak and drowsy?"

Chen Mu's eyes flickered, but he continued to use the Five Ghosts Moving Mountains technique.

"Did I hit the nail on the head? Heh..." Dong Cheng grinned, revealing a sinister smile.

He crouched slightly, gathering his strength, his hands forming a claw that enveloped Chen Mu's entire body from afar: "Trying to back down? Too late!"

"You made me waste one of my spirit talismans, so don't even think about getting away unscathed!"

clang clang clang clang...

The five evil spirits kept crashing into each other.

Gradually, the smile on Dong Cheng's face began to fade, and his expression gradually changed.

He discovered that the aura surrounding him was slowly dimming!

impossible!
He stared intently at Chen Mu: "How can you still activate a magical artifact?!"

Chen Mu looked at Dong Cheng indifferently.

"We really don't need to fight to the death!" Dong Cheng quickly interjected, trying to dissuade him. If the spiritual shield shattered, he would surely die!
Thinking of the possible consequences, his forehead was immediately covered in a fine layer of cold sweat.

"I can give you anything you want!"

"Jade coins, pills, secret techniques—I can give you anything!" Seeing the spiritual light shield growing dimmer, Dong Cheng could no longer remain calm, his eyes turning bloodshot: "Stop!"

Chen Mu looked coldly at Dong Cheng: "Five Ghosts Moving Mountains!"

boom!
The spiritual light shattered, and the four ghostly paper figures simultaneously unleashed the Five Ghosts Moving Mountains.

Dong Cheng's full strength was only enough to block two attacks before he was completely devoured.

"Why do you have to force me?" Chen Mu asked with a look of disappointment.

"You know perfectly well that the purpose of staying in the lower courtyard is for cultivation. So why do you still provoke conflict for no reason?"

Chen Mu stared coldly at the ground where Dong Cheng had stood before he disappeared: "I was originally an honest, kind-hearted homebody."

"Now you've forced me to resort to killing repeatedly."

"What a sin!"

Chen Mu glared at the room with hatred, then suddenly disappeared as black smoke swirled around him.
