My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 697 Stop
late at night.

On a vast plain somewhere on the planet Fireway, lay a giant white deer, as large as a small mountain.

A golden light silently landed, and the giant spirit god, clad in black and red armor, appeared.

"One shouldn't be too greedy, but since we've already encountered one, there's no harm in taking in one more monster," Chen Mu chuckled.

After more than a month of tireless travel, he himself had lost count of how many demonic beasts he had subdued. The accumulated vital energy was enough to support the foundation of his Dao.

but……

Who would complain about having more resources?

"Raising Yin spirits and cultivating the Heavenly Demon Body both require abundant blood and flesh essence. Opportunities like this, where you can pick up a demon beast for free, are rare."

Thinking this, the giant spirit raised his right hand, which was covered by a metal glove, and a cloud of golden smoke appeared.

Like bees drawn by the fragrance of flowers, an invisible and intangible demonic poison flew out from the white deer's body and rushed into the golden cloud of energy.

A moment later, the giant spirit clenched his fist, and the golden smoke dissipated.

Immediately, a massive black mist surged from beneath their feet, rapidly spreading towards the white deer.

hum!
The air suddenly trembled.

Without a sound, the black smoke and the white deer vanished instantly.

If it weren't for the large patch of dry grass on the ground, it would have been as if the white deer had never appeared at all.

Chen Mu nodded in satisfaction and prepared to change direction to continue subduing the demonic beasts.

Before he could even use his escape technique to leave, countless golden ropes suddenly appeared from the void. They intertwined and bound Chen Mu to the spot, rendering him unable to move, in just a moment.

Chen Mu, who had just been feeling relaxed, was suddenly startled.

A hundred meters away, the air distorted, and Zhou Tong's figure suddenly appeared.

"The Demon-Binding Rope must feel unpleasant," he said coldly.

Zhou Tong?
Didn't this guy already give up the investigation?
“Lu Yue has long since disappeared, yet you people still come here specifically to cause trouble. You are truly loyal.” Zhou Tong gritted his teeth, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Chen Mu immediately understood.

They're treating me like one of Lü Yue's trusted subordinates.

"You always manage to evade ambushes because someone tipped you off, right?" Zhou Tong said with certainty.

“Come, tell me who those people are. If you tell the truth, I’ll spare your life.” His voice was calm.

This guy thought it was a traitor from the Heavenly Craft Camp who tipped me off, which is why I was able to avoid so many ambushes.
So, was the previous statement about abandoning the investigation a deliberate attempt to mislead the public?

Tsk!
She has so many thoughts.

The next moment, the giant spirit suddenly transformed into black and red smoke, instantly breaking free from the dense demon-binding ropes.

The golden light flashed and disappeared, and when it reappeared, it was already in front of Zhou Tong.

The fist, clad in a metal glove, clenched tightly, gathering immense power that subtly distorted the air.

Ten Directions Hand!
With a slight touch, Zhou Tong's emerald green protective aura shield, which appeared on its own, was immediately dented by a punch.

Immediately, a rich, dark green aura of Yin Demon Slaying enveloped his fist.

With a crisp snap, the protective aura surrounding Zhou Tong exploded like a punctured balloon.

boom!
The fist slammed into Zhou Tong's chest without any resistance, sending him flying into the air like a baseball being hit at high speed.

While suspended in mid-air, Zhou Tong coughed up a mouthful of blood, feeling a chill run down his spine.

I thought he was just a Qi Refiner at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, but I never expected that he could easily break free of the Demon Binding Rope and even shatter my protective Qi with a single punch.

This ability to gather and disperse at will is a supernatural power that only a Primordial Spirit God-King possesses!
Are there other Nascent Soul Divine Lords serving under Lord Lü?
This is impossible!
Before he could figure it out...

A flash of golden light appeared before his eyes, and the armored figure reappeared in front of him.

Looking through the wide hood, he immediately saw a scarlet vortex spinning continuously.

What the hell is this? !
Zhou Tong felt as if his heart was being squeezed tightly.

"Jiaomu Star Lord, Jiaomu Star Lord!" His pupils contracted to slits, and he instinctively shouted at the top of his lungs.

hum!
As if an eraser had been used to erase the pattern, Zhou Tong's figure suddenly vanished.

boom!
The air exploded with a loud bang as the fist, imbued with demon-slaying energy, struck empty air, sending a powerful shockwave spreading outwards.

Horned Wood Star Lord? The star lord who rules over the ninety-nine stars of the Heavenly Gate?

Did he use the Shrinking Earth Shift technique to rescue Zhou Tong?
Chen Mu felt a chill run down his spine.

Is the spirit of this star watching over this place right now?!
Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat. He activated his Listening Divine Power to its maximum, but after scanning his surroundings seven or eight times, he found nothing.

He couldn't completely relax.

"We really can't pick up the monster corpses anymore."

Looking up at the faintly glowing sky, the giant spirit's figure immediately vanished. ...

a few days later.

late at night.

Tiangongying, Luoshike Camp.

A soft, moonlit light shone down, illuminating the campsite.

Behind the one-way light-transmitting jade snail door, Chen Mu lay in a rocking chair, bathed in starlight, cultivating with his eyes closed.

The river chariot reversed, and all his magical power transformed into nine streams of primordial energy, which then drilled into the inner wall of the jade seed.

Golden light surged up like a tide, instantly sweeping across the entire jade.

As if taking root and sprouting, fine golden lines grow on the inner wall of the jade, making it more and more rounded and complete.

After a while, Chen Mu opened his eyes, and a gray wall appeared before him.

Plague Immortal Technique: 3242/10000/Sixth Rank;

Jade Cicada Secret Manual: 1217/10000/Seventh Tier;

"It's time to recall the Giant Spirit God."

After Zhou Tong's surprise attack, Chen Mu was afraid that he would be targeted by the Star Lord of Horned Wood, so he didn't dare to recall the Giant Spirit God these days and kept it lingering outside.

Without the Giant Spirit God's assistance in replenishing his own essence through the Soul-Seizing and Rejuvenating Technique, his Dao Foundation cultivation speed had to be slowed down by half.

"Fortunately, it was just a false alarm."

Chen Musong took a breath, poured himself a mouthful of nourishing spirit wine, and looked up at the faint light shining on the horizon outside the door.

The Jupiter cluster stretches across billions of miles of the sky; it's impossible for it to target you alone.

It's likely that Zhou Tong, as the commander of the Heavenly Crafts Camp, had some special privileges, which allowed him to use the power of the Horned Wood Star Lord to lock onto the Giant Spirit God and even use the Shrinking Earth Shift to escape.

"One really shouldn't be too greedy." Chen Mu sighed inwardly as he activated the Pulling Talisman Seed and remotely controlled the Giant Spirit God to return.

If it weren't for the Giant Spirit God's ability to gather and disperse his primordial spirit at will, he would have almost been captured this time.

The Five Ghosts Bag is still on the Giant Spirit God's body. If he gets caught, all the efforts of the past month will be wasted.

……

The central waterside pavilion of Tiangongying.

"Are you sure that demon thief has left?" Zhou Tong asked, staring intently at the middle-aged Taoist.

"According to the investigation by the Five Clouds Department, the disappearance of large numbers of demon beast corpses has indeed not reappeared for several days," the middle-aged Taoist replied after thinking for a moment.

Did they leave? Or are they just hiding for now?

Zhou Tong was undecided, but he also felt a little relieved.

Several days ago, he used the power of the Star Lord of Horned Wood to locate the demon thief, thinking he could capture him successfully and uproot the traitors hiding in the Heavenly Workshop.

But he never expected that he would almost get himself into trouble.

Even now, the ghastly green fist that shattered his protective aura still sends shivers down his spine.

If he hadn't escaped with the help of the Star Lord of Horned Wood, he would have certainly died that night.

"That is most likely some kind of clone, and a secret technique at the primordial spirit level."

Zhou Tong was resolute.

Normal people don't grow up like that.

A puppet master spirit capable of wielding divine powers.

Zhou Tong seemed to be deep in thought.

The Thousand Machines Sect is skilled at crafting various demonic puppets. That strange armored man might very well be a special puppet crafted by Lord Lü.

"Any new instructions from Tianguan City?" Zhou Tong asked.

"They said they would send Elders Fei Zhao and Li Jiu to assist you," the middle-aged Taoist said.

Zhou Tong frowned immediately.

What he wanted was a transfer order to leave Fire Star, not some kind of assistance.

The mere thought of a powerful puppet lurking outside the Heavenly Craft Camp filled him with unease.

No, I have to contact Lord Blue directly.

There's no way we can stay on Fire Star any longer.
