My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 695 Harvest
On Fire Star, in a dense forest, large swathes of towering trees have been felled, resembling a patch on a giant green carpet.

The Tiangong Camp is located within this patch.

On the western side of the camp, outside the Demon Exorcism Division, lies a massive, deep pit, densely packed with the corpses of various monsters and giant beasts. Even the smallest of them is comparable in size to a silverback gorilla.

Chen Mu and the others, who had just arrived on Fire Path Star, were brought here before they even had time to be assigned the Snail Shell Barracks and begin to be assigned the demon-slaying tasks.

"There are so many demonic beasts?" Chen Mu raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"It's all because of our Lord Lü," Wu Gang replied softly.

Yellow Millet Plague?

As expected, all the demonic beasts on the entire Fire Path Star were brought down by the plague.

Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat again.

As I pondered, a white cloud flew in from the distant horizon, beneath which lay a large, white jade-colored net.

In the blink of an eye, the white jade net flew to the sky above the Demon Exorcism Department and, like dumplings being dropped into a pot, dumped a large pile of demon beast corpses before quickly flying away.

"With so many monsters, how long will it take us to finish this?" Wu Gang slapped his forehead and wailed.

Chen Mu glanced at the monster corpses in the pit, then at the Five Clouds Pa that were rapidly receding into the distance, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Fire Star was ravaged by plague, and the once powerful and troublesome demonic beasts all vanished into living corpses. They can be easily picked up and captured without much effort.

My own cultivation of the Dao Foundation requires a massive amount of demon beast meat to provide vital energy. Isn't this just a pillow delivered when I'm sleepy?

"I only need to take a tiny fraction of that..."

"what!"

Chen Mu's eyes were slightly red with excitement.

He had previously been reluctant to come to Fire Path Star.

but now……

"Coming to Fire Star was the right decision!"

He glanced around, and nine crimson feather magic swords flew out from his sleeves. They then burrowed into the ground and flew in all directions.

A faint black and red light flickered beneath the clothes, indicating that the Giant Spirit God's clone had possessed him.

With the powerful activation of the Divine Listening ability, the nine Crimson Feather Magic Swords became like nine reconnaissance drones, instantly transmitting various information back.

……

Late at night.

In a forest a thousand miles east of Tiangongying, birds and beasts lay scattered on the ground.

Some were as large as mountains, others as small as grains of rice; each one breathed softly, as if in a deep sleep.

At one moment, a cloud of black mist appeared silently in the forest.

The black mist, like rolling waves, surged and surged forward in all directions, skimming the ground. Wherever it passed, all the large and small monsters were swallowed up.

After a while, the black smoke dissipated. Accompanied by a gentle breeze, Chen Mu appeared on the branch of a large tree.

"The City of a Thousand Lanterns is truly useless!"

"These are all my cultivation resources, how come they're full after only a little bit?" He couldn't help but grit his teeth.

On Fire Path Star, all the demonic beasts had their spirits devoured by the Yellow Millet Plague. The weak died instantly, while the stronger ones became helpless, undead beasts.

On the night Chen Mu arrived at Fire Path Star, he secretly slipped out of the Heavenly Craft Camp and began collecting monsters in Thousand Lantern City.

But in just five or six days, the vast Thousand Lantern City was completely packed with people.

Looking at the enormous monsters crawling in the distant forest, Chen Mu felt a heartache so intense he could hardly breathe.

"We can't continue, we have to use the Plague Immortal Technique first!" He made the decision immediately.

As long as he activates the Plague Immortal Technique, he can quickly remove the demonic poison, and then he can safely throw all the demonic beasts into the bottomless pool.

Thousand Lanterns City is merely a fragmented grotto-heaven, limited in size. The Bottomless Pool, however, connects to the River of Oblivion, its interior space seemingly endless.

As long as you can remove the demonic poison quickly enough, you can throw all the demonic beasts on Fire Path Star into the bottomless pool!

With a flash of golden light, Chen Mu's figure vanished from the spot in an instant, using the technique of shrinking the ground and shifting his form.

……

a few days later

Inside a tent of the Demon-Slaying Department on the west side of the Heavenly Craft Camp.

Holding a sharp knife, Wu Gang carefully dismantles a millstone-sized, fiery red scorpion-shaped monster.

After a series of screeching and scraping sounds, the beast's carapace and muscles were finally separated. He straightened up, covered in sweat, and glanced at the pile of beast corpses beside the tent, feeling a throbbing pain in his back.

When will this demolition finally stop?
His face was contorted in pain.

Looking up and seeing Chen Mu on the recliner by the door, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

As a dignified captain with fifty or sixty demon-slaying soldiers under my command, I actually have to do chores for such a lowly soldier, it's really...

"It's really a bit of an injustice to have a captain like you doing all this work for me." As if sensing the gaze, Chen Mu, who was on the recliner, opened his eyes and said with a smile, "Why don't you take a rest and I'll take your place?"

Meeting Chen Mu's narrowed eyes, Wu Gang felt a chill run down his spine and shuddered.

"You rest, please don't move!"

"I love solving demon-slaying problems, and I'm not wronged at all!" Wu Gang declared confidently, his face full of solemnity.

Ha ha……

Knowing when to be sensible.

Chen Mu nodded with a smile and tossed a jade gourd to the other party.

"The Rejuvenating Soup can nourish the original essence and strengthen the foundation, and it is perfect for condensing the divine essence and talismans."

Wu Gang was overjoyed.

The reason I've been willingly helping with the work these past few days isn't just because of the Nightmare-Slaying Spell. The real reason is the Rejuvenating Soup, which can somewhat replace the Nourishing Essence Pill.

Chen Mu ignored Wu Gang's delighted expression and instead focused his attention on the Shadow Eye of Thousand Lantern City.

A fist-sized portal to the Thousand Lantern City opened within his sleeve, and streams of golden jade cicada energy flowed in.

The Plague Immortal Technique was unleashed, and golden stardust energy condensed in mid-air above Thousand Lantern City, transforming into a cloud of smoke as tall as a person.

Strange pulling forces emanated from the golden sphere, spreading outwards like ripples, instantly enveloping the entire Thousand Lantern City.

Before long, tiny, invisible specks of demonic poison flew out from the corpses of the monsters scattered on the ground. Like moths to a flame, they all rushed into the golden sphere of smoke.

In just a quarter of an hour, all the demonic poison in the corpses of all the demonic beasts in Thousand Lanterns City had been completely absorbed.

Chen Mu was still worried, so he sent the Giant Spirit God into Thousand Lantern City to listen carefully using his Divine Listening ability.

Once he was certain that the demonic poison had indeed completely disappeared, he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

Even Ying Tong's usually lazy eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of excitement.

Chen Mu opened his eyes and looked at the gray wall.

Plague Immortal Technique: 9/10000/Sixth Rank;

"It's done!" He couldn't help but clench his fist.

In order to gain experience from the Plague Immortal Technique these days, he even paused his Dao Foundation cultivation, and now he has finally achieved his goal.

Chen Mu looked up through the tent flap at the baskets of demonic beasts that Wu Yunpa had brought back, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

Just wait, tonight I'll take you all into the bottomless abyss!

……

Tiangongying.

In the center of the campsite is a pool of water with a smooth, mirror-like surface and crystal-clear water, so clear that even the bluish-gray pebbles at the bottom of the pool are clearly visible.

In the center of the pool stands a waterside pavilion, where Zhou Tong, the general of the Tiangong Camp, secluded himself for meditation.

"Elder Zhou, something's not right. It seems there's another group collecting the corpses of demonic beasts." A middle-aged man in a dark blue Taoist robe frowned. "Do you think it could be... Lord Lü?"

Zhou Tong suddenly opened his eyes.

If Lü Yue is really hiding here, wouldn't I, the traitor, be doomed?!
"Can you find any clues?" He felt a chill run down his spine.

"It's precisely because no trace was found that we suspect it was Sect Leader Lü's doing," the middle-aged man said solemnly, shaking his head.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tong breathed a sigh of relief: "Then this definitely isn't the sect leader's arrival."

Lord Lü is known for his domineering nature. If he truly needed the remains of demonic beasts, he would directly appear and take control of the Heavenly Craft Camp. He would never secretly search for them himself.

"Then let's..." The middle-aged man also breathed a sigh of relief.

The longer he stayed on Fire Star and the more demonic beasts and spirits he saw disappear and die, the more awe he felt for Sect Master Lü Yue became.

"It must be that someone within the Tiangong Camp was stealing from the camp," Zhou Tong said thoughtfully.

"I'll lay in ambush here and see who's so audacious as to embezzle the Thousand Machines Sect's property!" Zhou Tong sneered.
