My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 281 Impact
early morning.

Chen Mu crawled out of the tent and stretched.

He flew in around 5 a.m., took a nap, and felt completely refreshed.

As dawn broke, the members of the reclamation team gradually emerged from their tents.

In the center of the camp.

A large black vat, about half a person's height, stood in front of Old Man Yang.

He picked up a basin of half-congealed beast blood and poured it in.

Then he took the charred earthenware pot from the nearby campfire and poured the boiling water over the outside of the large vat.

It's said that the insects are becoming lazy and lethargic as the weather gets cooler. The large tank needs to be heated with hot water to wake them up.

Chen Mu was curious and wanted to go take a look, but he put his foot down instead.

He had seen it once before, and the sight of a tank full of worms rolling around was truly creepy.

"Hurry up and wash up and have breakfast."

……

In one corner of the campsite, there are three large stone barrels and water tanks, each about half a person's height, filled with clear mountain spring water.

Chen Mu carried the wooden bucket to the water vat.

A dark-skinned, pot-bellied man in his forties was also by the bucket.

He took the gourd ladle, scooped up a spoonful, and drank it all down.

Finally, pour some water into your hands, swipe it across your face, and that's it for washing your face.

Chen Mu's lips twitched involuntarily.

"No matter how clear it is, it's still spring water. Aren't you afraid of getting a stomachache if you drink it directly like this?" he thought to himself, but didn't say it aloud.

Everyone in the camp was physically strong and could withstand the unclean water.

Chen Mu shook his head and scooped water to fill the wooden bucket.

On the way back to the tent, when no one was looking, he secretly moved the water into the Five Ghosts Bag. Inside was a specially made filter.

Fine sand, charcoal, and disinfectant powder are used in five or six layers of filtration, giving the water a faint medicinal taste.

He wasn't as carefree as these natives, and he didn't want to get sick for no reason.

After washing his face and rinsing his mouth with a wooden bucket, Chen Mu crawled back into the tent.

As usual, I took out the barbecue wraps I had specially prepared last night, heated them in the Lingjia Black Smoke brand microwave oven, and then began to devour them.

……

Just as they finished eating, Old Hao's urging voice rang out from outside the tent:
"Xiao Mu, let's go."

"Old Yang said that we need to advance three miles today."

"Another increased workload? Did the hunting party ahead take drugs? They're running so fast!" Chen Mu emerged from the tent, his face full of surprise.

Even with Mu Linglang's assistance, this speed is still too fast.

"The number of strange beasts is decreasing." Old Hao's face was full of smiles: "We may have to go back to the mountain soon."

Chen Mu snapped out of his daze and couldn't help but feel happy.

"It's time to go back. We've been spending almost half a year in the mountains."

Going back is good. I'll have plenty of time to grind experience points back there.

The Fiery Cloud Curse, the Three Yin Demon-Slaying Technique, the Unexpected Twist of Fate, and the other signature skills of the six brothers of Wushan. There were so many things he wanted to learn.

……

For three consecutive days, the pioneering team continued to accelerate their efforts.

The people in the group complained, but their faces showed joy.

I spent half a year cutting down trees deep in the mountains. I couldn't eat or sleep well, and I had to protect myself from poisonous insects. I'd had enough of that.

"After we get back to the mountain, we have to have a good celebration. Xiao Mu, we'll be counting on you then," Old Hao said with a fawning smile.

Chen Mu chuckled. This old man was trying to freeload again.

I was just about to make a joke.

hold head high!
A long, drawn-out roar suddenly rang out.

An invisible impact spread and flew in, causing the leaves to rustle and tremble.

A chilling sense of pressure swept through, and the entire dense forest suddenly fell silent.

"Wh...what happened?" The old man with the red nose asked, his voice trembling.

Roar……

As if a start button had been pressed, a series of heart-stopping roars and cries rang out one after another.

Chen Mu's expression changed. Back in the Tongtian River Lower Academy, when the strange beast broke through the barrier, the commotion was exactly like this!
The five ghostly spirits hidden all around quickly flew into the sky.

From afar, one could see the forest more than ten miles away shaking violently, with large trees snapping and falling to the ground like sugarcane. At the same time, bursts of mysterious light flashed continuously.

"It's a strange beast!"

"Run!"

Chen Mu gave a low shout to Old Hao, then turned and ran towards Pengyue Mountain.

The others stared blankly at Chen Mu's retreating figure, still somewhat bewildered.

Old Hao had already come to his senses, threw away the door panel guillotine, and chased after Chen Mu, disappearing from everyone's sight.

……

Chen Mu swiftly disappeared into the dense forest, took out his flying kite, unfolded it, and just as he was about to take flight, he stopped.

From the perspective of the Five Ghosts in the sky, a dark cloud is rolling in from the south at a very fast speed!

He couldn't see what was inside the dark clouds, but he no longer dared to fly into the sky.

He wasn't sure he could fly over that dark cloud.

Just as I put the kite away, Old Hao came running up, panting.

"How can there be so many strange beasts?" Old Hao listened in disbelief to the shouts rising and falling behind him, and said in a panic, "What should we do now?"

"Come with me." Chen Mu didn't intend to run away alone.

They took Old Hao and sped off towards Pengyue Mountain.

A quarter of an hour later.

The two arrived at a campsite where they had once stayed.

From the perspective of the Five Ghosts remaining at the rear, they could hear increasingly violent roars and screams.

"Why did you stop running?" Old Hao ran for a while, then became breathless and his face turned pale.

Faint screams could already be heard, which made Old Hao's face turn even paler.

Chen Mu did not respond and quickly went to a withered old tree.

He crouched down, gently reached down with his right hand, and his entire right arm disappeared into the soil.

boom!
He ripped a millstone-sized rock from the ground, revealing a bottomless hole.

Nodding to Old Hao, Chen Mu jumped in.

Old Hao was overjoyed and quickly jumped in after him.

Then the stone that had just been thrown up floated up and crashed into the cave entrance with a bang, blocking the cave again.

……

"Wasn't it almost completely eradicated? Where did all these strange beasts come from?"

Inside the underground chamber, Old Hao was still pacing back and forth, clearly shaken.

At the end of the secret room, Chen Mu, sitting on a soft couch, ended his synesthesia and opened his eyes.

When he was escaping, he told the six siblings of Wushan and Shang Huan through the Heart-to-Heart Mantra.

The group was still fleeing towards Pengyue Mountain. Because they reacted quickly and got there earlier than the others, they were temporarily out of danger.

He took the yellow gourd from his waist, took out a wooden cup from the wooden cabinet next to the soft couch, filled it with a calming herbal tea, and handed it to Old Hao.

"If you wander off again and attract some strange beast, I'll throw you into its mouth before it even eats you."

Old Hao froze.

He immediately sat obediently on the right side of the soft couch, holding the wooden cup without moving. Even his breathing became cautious.

Chen Mu took a sip of her herbal tea, feeling puzzled.

With Mu Linglang assisting in the investigation, how could a large-scale attack by alien beasts have occurred?
It's normal that one or two people didn't notice, but how come so many hunting groups didn't notice?

Are you blind?

Noticing Old Hao's panic, Chen Mu softened his tone and comforted him, "We're seven or eight meters underground here, it's safe for now, let's just wait."

Old Hao took a sip of cold tea and slowly came to his senses: "Aren't you afraid?"

"Yes, I'm scared," Chen Mu said calmly.

Old Hao looked incredulous. "You look so relaxed and calm. You don't seem afraid at all."

Chen Mu didn't explain.

If you weren't afraid, you wouldn't have come to this cellar.

He cleared land all the way from Pengyue Mountain, digging more than one cellar along the way.

He's just not panicking.
