My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 507 Scholar
"Monster! I can tell you're not human at first glance!"

"Five dragons united as one!"

Chen Mu shouted, and black mist surged forth.

With a sudden wave of his hand, the black smoke from the five dragons surged towards the opposite side like a burst dam.

呲!
As if corroded by strong acid, Li Wuyou's entire body immediately began to dry out, turn black, shrink, and rot.

In the blink of an eye, half of his body carbonized into wisps of black smoke, which were blown away by the five dragon energy.

But the other person's face, which was mostly mutilated, always had a smiling eye, staring at Chen Mu with a strange, fake, fox-like smile.

hum!
The flames in the hearth suddenly shrank, and the light below the sloping cliff dimmed. Li Wuyou's entire body collapsed with a crash, turning into a pile of black ash on the ground, which scattered in all directions with the cold wind.

Chen Mu felt relieved and quickly gathered the five dragon energies, letting them swirl around him.

The moment the footsteps were heard, the Listening Technique was instinctively activated.

Then he discovered that although Li Wuyou appeared ordinary on the surface, the life rhythm within him was extremely chaotic. It was as if he was not a person, but a composite of countless living beings.

He immediately sensed something was off about this guy, so he gave him a gourd of water from the River of Oblivion to test him.

"As expected..." Chen Mu said coldly.

Thinking of the chaotic aura emanating from the other party, he felt a chill run down his spine and immediately used his Listening Technique to scan the area within a twenty-mile radius several times. Only after confirming that there was no more strange aura around did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Li Wuyou was far inferior to those enormous and monstrous demons, but the chaotic aura emanating from him made him quite wary.

When the other person's gaze fell upon him, it felt as if countless people were staring at him simultaneously. Their face was all smiles, but their eyes were brimming with malice, which truly made him tremble.

"We can't stay here anymore. Who knows if this weird thing will appear again?"

With that thought in mind, Chen Mu wanted to use his escape technique to leave.

The next moment, a soft click was heard, followed by the sound of light footsteps.

Immediately afterwards, a familiar, gentle voice reached my ears: "I am Li Wuyou. I got lost in the wilderness and was attracted by the firelight here. I hope you will forgive me for disturbing you."

Chen Mu's eyes bulged, and he felt a chill run down his spine.

His neck clicked and creaked as if it were rusty, and then he saw that Li Wuyou, dressed as a scholar in white, had reappeared unharmed at the edge of the firelight to his left.

His eyes crinkled with a smile, revealing a feigned smile, and he politely bowed slightly to Chen Mu, like a very well-mannered scholar.

And that feeling of being maliciously stared at by countless people resurfaced.

Chen Mu felt a chill run down his spine.

He hadn't turned off his listening technique, but he didn't know how the other party had appeared. It wasn't until he heard footsteps that the other party's chaotic aura reached his ears.

goo goo...

A rumbling sound came from his intestines, and Li Wuyou stared at Chen Mu with a smile.

"I've been starving for far too long, may I borrow your heart to fill my stomach?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Mu's pupils suddenly contracted.

next moment.

boom!
An air explosion.

Li Wuyou suddenly appeared in front of Chen Mu, his right hand forming a knife shape with his fingers, aiming straight for Chen Mu's throat.

Whoosh!
Chen Mu transformed into a gentle breeze and vanished from his spot. The next instant, he reappeared twenty meters away from the cliff.

Before he could react, everything went dark, and Li Wuyou's crescent-shaped, squinty eyes appeared before him.

A wisp of bright red energy swirled around the opponent's right hand, already probing between the ribs on Chen Mu's left chest, as if it were about to rip out Chen Mu's heart.

Chen Mu was shocked. He instinctively unleashed the power of the Five Dragons, and an invisible force appeared close to his body, striking Li Wuyou's fingertips.

clang!
Like a giant hammer smashing a bronze bell, a fierce wave of energy suddenly spread from Chen Mu's chest.

Chen Mu felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if he had been hit by a speeding train, and his whole body was involuntarily thrown into the air. Like a rag doll, his limbs swung wildly, tumbling and spinning uncontrollably.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Mu noticed out of the corner of his eye that Li Wuyou had somehow taken over his landing spot.

At this moment, the other person was looking up, staring intently at Chen Mu with his eerie and fake smile.

It's like a vicious dog waiting for the roast meat to fall.

Chen Mu felt a sudden chill and, in a flash, activated his Yin Spirit power, causing a sudden surge of gray Yin wind.

Whoosh!
Under the immense pulling force applied to his entire body, Chen Mu was like a rocket that had lost control, darting up, down, left, and right. Just as he was about to plunge headfirst into the ground, he finally regained control of himself, his body inverted, and he shot straight into the sky.

As he rose rapidly, Chen Mu looked back.

But he found that the strange Li Wuyou was still standing in the same place, staring at Chen Mu with that fox-like, eerie smile.

Chen Mu felt his hair stand on end, as if he were alone in the deep mountains, being stared at by a terrifying beast.

What on earth is this thing?! How can it be so bizarre and difficult to deal with!

He immediately made a turn, unleashing the full power of his Yin Wind Escape technique, and with a series of loud bangs and explosions in the air, he flew towards the horizon in a flash.

His previous ambition to destroy the demon's lair had long since vanished; now he only wanted to get away from Li Wuyou as soon as possible.

……

Feng'an City, the backyard of Sixi Teahouse.

Liu Tong stared intently at Hu Mang.

"I'll ask you one more time, are you sure you're placing the longevity wine as instructed?"

Hu Mang glanced at Liu Tong disdainfully: "You can come out of the city with me."

"You, sir, must have never seen a demon before. How about coming with us to broaden your horizons?"

Liu Tong's face immediately darkened.

He certainly dared not confront the demons directly; those confused monsters wouldn't recognize him as their inspector. If he was too slow, they would surely swallow him whole.

In the past two months, 70% of the spies who took on the same mission have died. Although this hothead in front of him is unruly, nearly half of the longevity wine in his hand was poured out by his subordinates.

Moreover, the changes in the aura reflected in the circular mirror indicated that the seal on the immortality wine jar in the opponent's hand had indeed been broken, and the mission had been completed.

At most, they were just being cunning and using other tricks.

His question was merely a habitual attempt to cause trouble for this guy.

"Go and get another hundred jars of Longevity Wine, then get the hell out of here!" Liu Tong waved his hand to shoo them away.

Hu Mang snorted coldly, casually cupped his hands in greeting, and turned to leave.

Liu Tong's face grew increasingly grim.

……

The next day, in the wilderness outside the city.

Hu Mang stood on a hillside, looked around to make sure no one was nearby, and then transformed into a wisp of black smoke and fell into the dense forest below.

The long-awaited, tormenting middle-aged director finally appeared.

After a brief conversation, Hu Mang took the Qi-eating bag handed to him and immediately transformed into a gust of cold wind and drifted away.

The middle-aged man with the long beard didn't linger; he turned around and abruptly disappeared from the spot.

After a while, Liu Tong's figure appeared in the dense forest.

"I knew something was fishy!" Liu Tong sneered.

"I remember Hu Mang messed up the mission of the Torture Division before, which is why he was assigned to my subordinates as a suicide soldier."

"I thought they were at odds with the Mo Ren Si, but I didn't expect they were actually colluding behind the scenes."

"The Secret Service and the Torture Department are both making moves at the same time? There must be a huge conspiracy involved!" Liu Tong said coldly.

"No wonder there are fewer and fewer monsters lately. It seems that the longevity wine that was recently spilled may have been disposed of and hidden by the other party using special methods, which is why it has not attracted more monsters."

He suddenly remembered the suicide soldiers who died while throwing bait.

Perhaps they didn't die at the hands of the demons, but were secretly silenced.

"Were these people secretly turned against Feng'an City? Or is there someone in Qingyang City who betrayed them and became an traitor within Feng'an City?"

"If we figure out the reason, we can find out who's behind this..."

"Haha, promotion and wealth are just around the corner!" Liu Tong suddenly became excited.

He was about to use his secret technique to continue tracking Hu Mang when he looked up and found that a figure in white had suddenly appeared in front of him.

The other person's eyes narrowed into an arc, like a fox's.

With a gentle smile on his face, he stared at Liu Tong with utmost sincerity.

"My name is Li Wuyou. I apologize for disturbing you, sir."

"I am so hungry, could I borrow your heart and liver to fill my stomach?"

The fox-faced scholar eats heart and liver?
King Worry-Free!
A rumor suddenly surfaced in Liu Tong's mind, and he felt a chill run down his spine!
He was about to use magic to escape when that fox-like smiling face was already face to face with him.

Then he watched as the other person's mouth stretched wider and wider, revealing rows of long, thin, sharp teeth reflected on the surface of his pupils.

Accompanied by a short, painful scream.

The dense forest suddenly fell silent.

Only the faint sounds of flesh and bones being chewed and swallowed could be heard.
