My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 487 Leaving
In the Thousand Lanterns City, on the long corridor at the entrance of the wooden building, Chen Mu was wrapped in bandages all over his body, his face swollen like a pig's head once again.

"The Netherworld is far too dangerous. I've been bedridden twice in less than a year. I've never had anything like this before, back in Chicken Coop Road." He shook his head and sighed as he lay in his rocking chair.

"Fortunately, it wasn't a complete loss." Chen Mu looked to the right side of the wooden building, where the three-eyed man's corpses were piled up like a small mountain.

At first glance, it is quite frightening, and in fact, it is indeed a bit scary.

But the thought of the vast amounts of essence and inspiration they could provide filled him with joy.

The human-shaped gate to hell was a bit lacking, as the bottomless pool digested things rather slowly. Fortunately, the spirits took turns supplying divine power to assist, so although the process was slow, it could continue operating day and night.

"Once the Bottomless Pool has digested the Three-Eyed Netherworld Clan and I have fully recovered, I will immediately activate the Gates of Hell to leave the Netherworld Demon Heaven. I've had enough of this hellish place!"

As Chen Mu was complaining in his heart, Shen Yan, who was sitting next to him, suddenly chuckled.

What's wrong with this old man now?
Shen Yan didn't care about Chen Mu's strange look: "Based on your description, I'm sure the person who manipulated the blood hand is Lan Zhang."

"These three-eyed corpses were originally meant to be the resources for him to grow his Blood Cloud."

"But now, by some twist of fate, you've managed to steal it from him. His cultivation of the Blood Nerve will definitely be affected, otherwise he wouldn't be looking so furious."

"Well done!" As soon as he finished speaking, a broad smile spread across Shen Yan's face.

"It's a pity we didn't achieve our goal completely; it would have been even better if we had wiped the entire battlefield clean."

"I've already collected about 70-80% of it, be content." Chen Mu rolled his eyes.

Even so, Lan Zhang has already beaten him half to death. If he really wipes out the entire battlefield, and Lan Zhang goes all out to train him into a Blood God Child, then death will probably be a luxury.

Thinking of the danger he was about to face, Chen Mu couldn't help but sigh.

I was just trying to hitch a ride, but I almost lost my life. What a bad year!

"How could the main camp, which was doing so well, just disappear like that?" Chen Mu was still somewhat annoyed.

Although it is said to be a human-shaped gate to hell, and the bottomless pool of spiritual energy is almost full, it is still not as safe as taking the main camp's gate to hell.

Shen Yan gave a strange smile: "You'll have to ask yourself that."

What does it have to do with me?
"Because you're cursed by bad luck." Shen Yan said with a mocking expression.

"Look, you've only been in the Hai-character camp for less than a year, and the Hai-character camp is finished."

“You stayed in the Youzi Camp for more than half a year, and the Youzi Camp is finished.”

"Now it's even more amazing. You haven't even reached the main camp yet, and the main camp has already been destroyed."

"Taking down enemy camps and capturing enemy strongholds as easily as taking them down? Tsk tsk! You're really something!" Shen Yan chuckled and teased.

"Bullshit! This is all because someone was causing trouble; I just happened to be there!"

"But why is it always you who gets into all this mess?"

Chen Mu's face immediately darkened.

I want to know too.

……

In the days that followed, Chen Mu began to slowly recover from his injuries.

Last time, a large number of Heavenly Demon Spirit Seeds returned to assist in healing, but this time he can only recover on his own.

"It's a pity we can't go out and use the exquisite jade plate. We'll have to waste a lot of money on white jade." Chen Mu said, holding a round piece of white jade with a pained expression.

When he fled for his life, he put up a little resistance against Lan Zhang's bloody hand and immediately slipped into Thousand Lanterns City. Naturally, he stayed at the main camp when entering and leaving the city.

He had robbed Lan Zhang of such a large amount of cultivation resources; he didn't believe the other party would give up so easily. They might be lying in wait outside right now.

"There are less than two thousand left." Chen Mu counted the white jade coins in the small wooden box with a look of resentment.

Seeing Shen Yan carrying a vegetable basket walk past the door, he immediately narrowed his eyes: "Why don't you go out and scout out Lan Zhang's whereabouts for me?"

"Look, the Gates of Hell have exploded. The curse-killing secret technique of Jigu City is definitely useless against you now."

"Didn't you complain about how dark and gloomy Thousand Lanterns City was? This is a good opportunity to go out and relax."

“Besides, your true form as a spirit is a cunning fox, skilled at hiding, not just a mere blue seal.” Chen Mu smiled, “I have confidence in you!” Shen Yan’s face immediately darkened.

I think you're trying to send me to my death!

All I did was make fun of you a couple of times, saying you were cursed with bad luck. And you want me, a 300-year-old guy, to go and test the waters?

Is it really necessary?!

He glared fiercely at Chen Mu, his eyes wide open: "How about... I show you how to do a split?"

"Doing somersaults isn't out of the question either..."

A smile immediately appeared on Chen Mu's face.

……

More than twenty days later, thanks to the efforts of the many spirits, the small mountain of corpses that had begun to rot was finally digested by the bottomless pool.

This was only because Chen Mu spared no effort, dragging his ailing body to use the Minor Frost-Freezing Technique to freeze the body; otherwise, the entire Thousand Lanterns City would have been filled with a stench.

It's unclear what the situation of the Three-Eyed Clan is like in the Netherworld, but they are all brimming with spiritual energy and vitality. After fully digesting it, the Bottomless Pool was instantly overflowing with spiritual energy. Using this to force his way out of the Netherworld through the Gates of Hell is no longer a major problem. He just needs to recover from his injuries before he can begin his return to the Underworld.

Regarding the previous upheaval at the main camp, he and Shen Yan had also made some guesses. They both felt that the turmoil was probably caused by the blood nerve, otherwise Lan Zhang wouldn't have happened to appear.

Strangely, the main camp didn't seem to be entirely unprepared. When he was cleaning up the battlefield earlier, he noticed that near the ruined Gate of Hell, many three-eyed people had died, but there wasn't much white ash left by the dead spirits.

Moreover, of the eleven Ghost Gates that were blown up, one has disappeared, indicating that the Yin soldiers in the camp have successfully left the Underworld.

"Why do I feel like the General Camp is a trap?" Shen Yan asked hesitantly.

Chen Mu scratched his head, feeling that something was amiss.

"Forget it, I don't want to."

"Instead of wasting time, you might as well get some more sleep; maybe that will help your injuries heal faster."

More than a month has passed, and the swelling all over his body has subsided, but his internal injuries are healing slowly. The true form of the Heavenly Demon is also shrouded in the secret acupoint between his eyebrows and cannot be revealed; he can only wait for it to slowly recover.

He wasn't in a hurry. He had already figured out how to return to the underworld, so setting off was just a matter of time.

"This is a good opportunity for the spirits to practice the Three Yin Phosphorous Fire Spell and the Jade Gate Spell more."

"Strengthen the source to enhance the power of the Yin spirit, and also reinforce the human form of the Ghost Gate."

"If we could have more Yin soldiers with awakened ghost patterns and stack more layers of the Yellow Springs Crossing Method, we would be safer when returning to the underworld."

……

Chen Mu knew that the recovery time for this injury would probably be very long, but he did not expect to wait for half a year.

"The Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed is still somewhat useful," he remarked more than once.

In front of the wooden building of Thousand Lantern City, Chen Mu was dressed in a black outfit, with a Yangcha Bone Shield hanging at his waist. His jade seed was filled with magic power, ready to unleash its protective aura at any time. Yin spirit divine power surged, and the strange power that could restrict the flow of energy within a hundred miles was faintly visible around him.

After checking himself from head to toe again to make sure he could activate all protective measures at any time, Chen Mu took a deep breath and looked ahead.

At this moment, all the evil spirits of Thousand Lanterns City gathered in front of the wooden building.

Half a year has passed, and the aura of the Yin spirits has greatly increased. Apart from the leader, many old ghosts have also developed ghost patterns. Even Shi Dechun, that old fox, has become a Yin soldier a few days ago.

I thought the old man had a keen ear back then, but now it seems that it's not just a normal keen ear; he's probably truly gifted. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to develop such supernatural abilities in just three or four years.

Chen Mu took a deep breath and cleared his mind of all thoughts, both positive and negative.

Driven by the Mountain-Carrying Sutra, everyone, including Shen Yan, transformed into a black cloud.

The Jade Gate Incantation, now more than halfway through its sixth stage, slowly began to operate, activating the humanoid Ghost Gate formed by the multitude of Yin spirits.

The vast amount of spiritual energy within the bottomless pool was instantly drained, and a circular black curtain the size of a basketball court abruptly appeared in mid-air. Then, the black curtain bulged and rotated to both sides. Immediately afterwards, a huge, pitch-black sphere suddenly appeared in mid-air.

A vague feeling appeared in Chen Mu's mind.

The River of Oblivion, a place of darkness and darkness!
