My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 428 Black Wind
The next night.

Gray clouds drifted across the sky, the night grew deeper, and a slight, cold wind blew, causing the flames in the campfire to flicker.

As usual, the group discussed whether or not to go to Jigu City alone.

Chen Mu sat cross-legged by the campfire, seemingly resting with his eyes closed.

His mind, however, was focused on the newly acquired Yin Spirit power.

This cooling power is stored throughout the body, easily released to resist cold winds, and easily absorbed back into the body to remain dormant. It can be used to activate the Dew Gathering Spell, and also to unleash the Qi-Sealing Hundred-Mile Supernatural Power.

"The total amount is a bit too small," Chen Mu clicked his tongue.

Previously, the Qi Restriction Technique could easily cover an area of ​​over 400 meters in radius. If the Five Ghosts Possession Technique were used, it could easily cover an area of ​​three to five miles.

Now...

With a thought, an invisible and intangible sphere slowly expanded from Chen Mu's center, covering the camp before it became difficult to expand outwards.

He tried several times in the past two days to expand further, but he was powerless to do so and all attempts ended in failure.

"As a means of investigation, it is far inferior to the Listening Technique."

Just as he was feeling sentimental, a strange sensation suddenly appeared in his perception of the Qi Restriction Hundred Miles, as if a ball of gas was spreading open his tightly clenched hand.

Chen Mu immediately focused his attention and noticed a black gust of wind appearing not far from the camp.

Its rotation, expansion, twisting, and deformation transformed it in the blink of an eye into a long black serpent that crashed into the camp.

Chen Mu suddenly opened his eyes, picked up Shi Dechun and leaped up, jumping five meters away from the campfire in one bound.

The next moment, the black whirlwind violently overturned everyone around the campfire.

The flames flickered and then quickly died out, the crimson charcoal instantly turned dark and dim, and in the blink of an eye, a thin layer of frost condensed on it!

The black wind did not stop and raged through the camp, knocking everyone over.

Just as everyone was in a panic, a red light suddenly shone.

Before anyone knew it, Niu Sanmiao had already stood in the middle of the camp, carrying a red lantern.

The red light from the lantern seemed almost tangible, spreading rapidly outwards from Niu Sanmiao's center.

The invisible black wind seemed to have met its nemesis, and was pushed out of the camp by the red light without any resistance. Accompanied by a strange whistling sound, it turned into a gust of wind and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Light the fire, put the frozen ones by the fire, the rest of you should rest, and we'll continue to the river tomorrow morning." Niu Sanmiao's calm voice echoed throughout the camp.

When everyone came to their senses, they realized that those who had been overturned by the black wind during its rampage all had ashen, pale faces. Their eyebrows and hair were even covered in frost, and they lay motionless on the ground, looking like frozen pork.

The crowd hurriedly lit a campfire, dragged the frozen man to the fire, and gathered together to discuss the incident with lingering fear.

Shi Dechun was also terrified and repeatedly bowed to Chen Mu beside him, saying, "Thank you for saving me, Brother Chen."

Chen Mu waved his hand: "What is that?"

“It’s Black Wind!” Shi Dechun said gravely.

“I mentioned it before, but I didn’t expect it to be so powerful. It can freeze a person solid with just a slight touch.”

"If you were to encounter them in the middle of nowhere, without the protection of those red lanterns, you would be certain to die."

"No wonder that damned bull-headed man was so sure we wouldn't dare go to Jigu City alone."

Chen Mu's expression was strange.

Black winds may exist, but tonight's black winds... ha!

……

In the center of the camp, Niu Sanmiao put down his red lantern and sat alone by the campfire.

Ignoring the panicked chatter of the crowd, he calmly untied the black leather pouch from his waist.

The pouch is about the size of a palm, round in shape, with a drawstring at the top to seal it. On the outer side, there is a raised, dark red ghost face with big eyes and long ears.

He untied the drawstring, reached into the leather bag, and pulled out a white jade box that was much larger than the bag itself.

Upon opening the box, its interior space was found to be mostly occupied by jade dewdrops.

Niu Sanmiao smiled contentedly, picked up the yellow gourd, poured out the jade dew he had just collected, counted each one, and put them into the jade box.

"The travel expenses alone amounted to more than six hundred jade dewdrops."

"Selling some burdock beads at a high price will allow us to collect over four hundred jade dew beads."

"It's a pity we can't stay in the wild for too long, otherwise these leeks will never be able to get to Jigu City!"

He glanced at the campfire not far away and saw that the one-eyed man Haiyuan and Yin Liu were also counting and processing the jade dew.

Niu Sanmiao shook his head and sighed, "We didn't bring enough burdock beads."

He never expected that the one-eyed man Haiyuan would awaken supernatural powers.

The other party wanted to buy burdock beads from him, and he couldn't refuse directly, nor could he raise the price.

However, by selling a portion to the other party, his own inventory decreased, making it impossible for him to store more jade dew.

"Otherwise, we might have been able to get more than 1,400 jade dewdrops on this trip!"

That would have been an unprecedented harvest, but alas...

Thinking of this, Niu Sanmiao felt a pang of heartache and squinted at Haiyuan: "We need to find a way to get the jade dew out of their hands."

He squinted and pondered for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face.

He took out a jade dewdrop and stuffed it into the mouth of the ghost face in his waist pouch. The ghost face immediately came to life, chewing and swallowing the jade dewdrop in two quick bites.

Niu Sanmiao, used to such sights, waited until the ghostly face calmed down before tearing open his waist pouch again and forcefully stuffing the enormous jade box inside. Meanwhile, the many spirits were still shaken and discussing the matter.

Niu Sanmiao glanced at it and sneered in a low voice, "A bunch of worthless bastards!"

"Just honestly collect the jade dew for me, that's all."

"Now let's see who dares to go to Jigu City alone."

"This time it's just the Black Wind Curse, but next time... heh heh!"

“Hmm…” A thought struck him, and he looked at Haiyuan again.

"Or... we could just find an opportunity to kill this guy on the street..."

The thought of obtaining a large number of jade dewdrops with just a few clicks made his heart burn with excitement.

What method should we use? The Black Wind Curse?

The moment the thought crossed his mind, he saw a cloud of black smoke descend from the sky, instantly sending Haiyuan Yinliu and his companion, who were happily counting the jade dewdrops, flying into the air.

Niu Sanmiao: "..."

I didn't chant the Black Wind Spell.

Besides, Haiyuan has only collected a few Jade Dews so far!
This black wind is here way too early!

Niu Sanmiao's face began to contort with frustration.

He immediately grabbed the red lantern beside him.

But as soon as he reached out, two plumes of black smoke suddenly appeared beside him, intertwining and twisting, before a powerful force suddenly struck.

He was like a small fish caught in an underwater eddy, instantly losing control of his body and being tossed into the air.

After flying for a long time, feeling dizzy and disoriented, he finally crashed to the ground with a thud, lying flat on his back.

Niu Sanmiao quickly looked up to observe, but only saw five wisps of black smoke intertwined and disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

This isn't Black Wind. Has some new monster appeared in the Underworld?

Just as I was wondering what was going on, I suddenly heard a scream.

He shakily regained his footing and looked up to see the one-eyed man, Hai Yuan, straddling Yin Liu and punching his face repeatedly.

"It has nothing to do with me! The jade dew was blown into the fire by the black wind!" Yin Liu cried out in injustice.

The jade dewdrops of Haiyuan were thrown into the fire?

Niu Sanmiao's expression changed drastically.

That loss was all my money!
beat!
Beat them to death!
After a while, seeing Yin Liu beaten to the point of near death, he finally felt a little relieved.

"Luckily, I have a gas-eating pouch; it's big enough to hold a lot, so I'm not afraid..."

As he thought about it, he subconsciously reached for his waist.

But then he discovered that the gas bag at his waist had disappeared without him noticing.

Niu Sanmiao froze on the spot.

My jade dewdrops... are all gone too?!
Damn it!

His eyes immediately turned red.

……

Not far away by the campfire, Chen Mu watched Yin Liu get beaten up with a smile on his face.

"Money really is the root of all trouble. Look at how good their relationship used to be, and now they're fighting..."

"As expected, I'll have to keep it for you."

"I really am a good person, haha..."

At this moment, within the black space inside his body, a gray cloth bag and a black leather ghost-face pouch lay quietly beside him.

He then looked with amusement at Niu Sanmiao, whose eyes were bloodshot and whose face was full of anger.

"You can summon the black wind with incantations, and we can also unleash the five ghosts to wreak havoc!"

"Without the Moonburdock Pearl, hehe, let's see how many more days you can stay here."

Sure enough, not long after, Niu Sanmiao announced with a gloomy expression that they would depart for Jigu City early the next morning.

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

"Has Niu Tou gone mad?" Shi Dechun asked in surprise.

"Maybe they've had a change of heart," Chen Mu chuckled.

That beef skin?
Shi Dechun immediately rolled his eyes.

wrong!

He looked at Chen Mu with suspicion.

How can this guy be so calm?

Was the black wind we just saw related to the bald guy?
Can't? !

Shi Dechun's heart skipped a beat.
