My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 402 Yin Ming
The thick fog on Jilong Mountain repeatedly expanded and contracted, as if it were a living thing.

Red light flashed everywhere inside, and muffled thunderous roars continued.

Chen Mu hid underground, keeping a close eye on Jilong Mountain through the Zhu Yu magic sword in the clouds.

He soon discovered that those long, white, smoky faces appeared intermittently at the edge of the thick fog.

When it leaves the dense fog, it transforms into a long white smoky snake; upon contact with the dense fog, it immediately merges back into it and disappears.

"Could it be that the thick fog covering Jilong Mountain is formed from those long snakes with human faces?" Chen Mu couldn't help but feel a chill of fear.

He had previously tried to find the White Smoke Serpent.

Looking back now, if he had really attracted that huge group of monsters, he would definitely have been doomed!

……

The battle lasted for a full half hour.

With a deafening wail, the thick fog suddenly dissipated.

Song Wuji stood suspended in mid-air on Jilong Mountain, his tattered clothes faintly visible.

Then, clouds of fiery red insects flew out from around him, chasing after the white smoke clouds scattered across the mountains.

The roars of countless strange beasts before their deaths echoed through the mountains, but soon they could no longer be heard.

Song Wuji rode his escape light, circled around Jilong Mountain, and landed back at the main hall on the mountaintop.

Before long, the black-clad inspectors from the Inspection Bureau came down the mountain to announce the news and reassure people, while also dispersing the disciples who had gathered in various places.

The noisy Jilong Mountain gradually quieted down in the middle of the night.

……

East side of Chaoyang Mountain.

Chen Mu jumped off the ground and returned to the second-floor window.

Thinking that the white smoke monster had been targeted by Song Wuji and was beyond dead, he felt much more at ease.

"Who told you to appear and disappear so mysteriously?"

"It's clearly a wisp of white smoke, yet it insists on having a human face and can even teleport between realms and escape through the void, tsk tsk..."

You are in great danger!

"Behold my great summoning technique, Song Wuji!" Chen Mu chuckled as he lay back in the rocking chair.

"I did this not so that I could get a good night's sleep."

"I simply wanted to help eliminate the root cause of wilt disease in the chicken coop."

"Yeah, that's it, haha..."

Chen Mu swayed comfortably in the recliner, feeling relaxed and at ease.

Just as I was secretly pleased, a series of chirping and squeaking noises came from nearby.

Chen Mu frowned and turned his head to look at her with dissatisfaction.

Then he saw five little paper figures, each riding a white-faced, smoke-filled monster, flying happily to him.

Chen Mu: “…”

Wasn't that thing already killed by Song Wuji?

How could a fish have slipped through the net and ended up in my house?!

He immediately used the Yama Emperor's Decree.

Ever since he guessed that the Yama's Decree might be able to counter the White Smoke Monster, he had used it frequently. Now, seeing the human-faced White Smoke Monster again, he almost subconsciously activated it.

An invisible wave emanated from it.

hum!
The void trembled slightly.

The next moment, countless long white smoke stalks appeared in mid-air.

Countless identical faces stared at him with droopy eyelids.

Chen Mu: “…”

Hey!
……

On the western edge of Jilongshan Market, in a small courtyard.

Three tall, strong men gathered together.

“General, the demon is dead, we…” A man on the left had a solemn expression.

General Jin, with a full beard, also had a gloomy face: "How could the demon, hiding in the gap between the two realms, have been discovered?"

“This monstrous creature is relatively new; perhaps it hasn’t sunk deep enough into the underworld.” The man on the right frowned and analyzed, “If we conduct a targeted probe and attack, we might be discovered.”

"Forget it, there's no point in thinking about it." General Jin waved his hand: "Thousand Eyes, the main body of the demon has collapsed. See if there are any Yinming Insects scattered around."

"As long as we can find it, we can just use some longevity wine to accelerate its growth. We still have time."

The man on the right, Qianmu, nodded upon hearing this. He took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.

The next moment, countless eyes sprouted from his face.

These eyes completely covered all the skin, and even on the closed eyelids, three eyes the size of soybeans grew out.

The eyes varied in size, with clear distinction between black and white. When they opened together, they moved independently, as if each eye had its own consciousness, making one feel a chill in their heart just by looking at them.

Even though the two people beside him had seen it before, they still couldn't help but feel their hair stand on end.

After a while, just as the two of them couldn't help but rub the goosebumps on their arms, Qianmu finally closed her eyes.

"found it!"

General Jin was overjoyed.

Qianmu frowned: "Strange, they all seem to be gathered in the same place."

"Could it be that we've fallen into a forbidden trap?"

General Jin's expression immediately changed: "Let's go!"

……

On the second floor, Chen Mu lay stiffly in a rocking chair by the window, staring at countless monster faces.

Chen Mu remained still, and so did the white smoke monsters.

Only five little paper figures continued to fly around carefree.

"It doesn't seem... that dangerous."

Chen Mu's eyes darted around as he carefully observed the white smoke monster.

He noticed that although these people's faces were exactly the same, their colors were different.

Some are brightly colored, resembling real faces, while others are black and white, blurry and dim.

Its long, serpentine body was filled with white smoke, and as it swayed slightly, it would occasionally reveal some fur and scales.

He also discovered that these monsters did not actively absorb the vital energy, but once the vital energy entered them, it would not reappear.

It's like an eraser, wiping away all vitality out of thin air.

"It really is the root cause of wilt disease!"

Looking at the monster floating quietly, Chen Mu had an idea and activated the Yama Decree again.

The white smoke monster immediately began to circle around him in an orderly fashion, just like a diver who had accidentally wandered into a school of deep-sea fish.

"That scared me to death." Chen Muren breathed a sigh of relief.

If the Yama's Decree is effective, then these monsters are only scary to look at.

"Should we notify Mo Wuzhou?" Chen Mu hesitated.

"forget it."

"The previous subtle hints were understandable, but now that I've caught so many white smoke monsters, it's hard not to arouse people's curiosity."

"We'll just have to get rid of it as soon as possible."

He turned to look at the grinning paper ghost figures, feeling both annoyed and amused.

He had figured it out by now; the reason so many white smoke monsters were likely summoned by the Five Ghost Paper Dolls.

While I was living in fear, you five culprits were having a great time.
Outrageous!

Get the hell to work!

Five Ghosts Moving Mountains!

The paper figure suddenly turned into black smoke and rushed towards the monster's face.

In the blink of an eye, the white smoke monster in the room was completely devoured.

Chen Mu finally felt relieved and was about to stretch his stiff body when he suddenly noticed that the Five Ghosts Bag on his chest was vibrating continuously.

He quickly checked and found that the inner wall of the Five Ghosts Bag was constantly wriggling and growing, rapidly expanding outwards.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a giant spherical space with a diameter of over ten meters.

"Can the white smoke monster strengthen the Five Ghosts Space?" Chen Mu was overjoyed.

Over the years, he had occasionally fed the Five Ghost Bag with the flesh and blood of strange beasts. Although the space inside the bag had expanded, the effect had been minimal. Unexpectedly, it immediately doubled in size after just consuming some white smoke monsters.

Just as he was secretly pleased, he discovered that another change was taking place inside the Five Ghosts Bag.

Puffs of black smoke rose from within, billowing into clouds and swirling around the inside of the bag.

Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat.

He was all too familiar with that black smoke. It was the ghostly specters he hadn't seen in years!
"Where did so many ghosts come from in the Five Ghosts Bag?!" Chen Mu couldn't help but widen his eyes.
