My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 385 Accident
hum!
A golden-red fireball appeared on the roof of the bamboo house without warning.

Chen Mu's expression changed, and he suddenly lunged forward.

Almost the instant he flew out of the room.

A fireball crashed into the room and exploded with a deafening roar. Sparks flew everywhere as the bamboo house, where people had lived for over a year, was instantly destroyed and engulfed in flames.

Chen Mu steadied himself, turned around, and stared at the sky above the fire, his face grim.

There, a tall, thin figure dressed in a fiery red Taoist robe stood out from nowhere. He looked down at Chen Mu with an indifferent expression.

He didn't say a word, but simply put two fingers together and gently slashed at Chen Mu.

A fiery rain, large enough to cover half a basketball court, appeared out of nowhere above Chen Mu's head.

Then it crashed down with a deafening roar, and the dense forest was instantly engulfed in flames.

The red-robed Taoist frowned slightly: "Escape into the ground? You're really fast."

Looking up at the explosions rising and falling on the mountain, he immediately abandoned the idea of ​​casting a spell to pursue them.

"We cannot give up all the merits of this mountain for the sake of this one person's head."

Thinking this, a flash of red light appeared on his body, and he flew towards the most intense part of the battle halfway up the mountain.

……

Thirty meters underground, in a small, temporarily created space, the Listening Technique was operating at full power, and various noises from Misty Mountain constantly filled Chen Mu's ears.

"The Liyang Path attacks the mountain?"

A few years ago, Chongshan Road came along, and now Liyang Road has popped up. Is Jilong Road an easy target? How come everyone can come and take advantage of it?

"I just want to find a safe place to grind experience points, why is that so difficult?"

"What's the point of fighting all the time?"

After a long while, Chen Mu sighed helplessly.

Such a struggle between powerful forces is beyond the control of a mere cultivator like him. The most urgent task is to figure out how to respond.

run?
There might be an ambush outside the mountains. No, there definitely is.

Even Dongling Manxiu knew to set up an ambush on the outer perimeter, let alone Liyang Dao, which is also one of the seven Daos of Yunzhou.

If the enemy dares to attack the mountain, their preparations must be thorough.

"Let's hide underground and see what happens."

There are not many people who specifically cultivate the secret technique of burrowing underground. For those who leave Yang, burrowing underground to find enemies is extremely difficult and not worthwhile.

In this way, hiding underground is relatively safe for the short term.

"We'll make plans once the situation becomes clearer."

Chen Mu made up his mind that he would not show his face until he got a result on the mountain.

The Listening Technique he had been actively using was fluctuating, and to prevent anyone from finding him by following the fluctuations, he immediately withdrew the Listening Technique, used the Ground-Touching-to-Steel technique to soften the soil, and continued to drill deeper into the ground.

"It's a pity that your skill level in turning soil into steel is a bit low, otherwise you could soften the soil even faster."

"I didn't realize it under normal circumstances, but now that I look at it, it's still a bit slow."

"Once we get through this crisis, we absolutely have to work on 'Turning the Earth into Steel' to get it promoted to a higher level."

……

The summit of Wuyan Mountain.

Liu Ling, dressed in a gold-threaded red robe, stood atop the Cloud Palace with a cold and solemn expression.

"On the surface, they search everywhere for family heirlooms, but in reality, they disrupt the earth's vein magic."

"Sun Jian, you really dare to betray Jilongdao." Her voice was as cold as ice.

Sun Jian, dressed in black robes, said coldly, "If you stand idly by tonight, you'll live."

"If you dare to make a move, you will be obstructing my path to enlightenment, and you will die."

As soon as he finished speaking, two streaks of light, one black and one red, descended from the sky.

The light dissipated, revealing a smiling, short, stout Taoist priest and a burly man two meters tall.

Liu Ling frowned immediately: "The Daoist Huiming, Yang Huan?"

Sun Jian extended his right hand, and lightning flashed: "Liu Ling, what's your choice?"

……

Deep underground, inside a natural cave the size of a football field, hangs a fist-sized, jade-white sphere from the ceiling.

Crackling lightning flashed continuously on it, illuminating the originally dark cave.

At this moment, Chen Mu was lying sprawled out in a starfish shape, with invisible forces surging in from all directions, pressing him firmly to the ground.

He mustered all his strength, his muscles tense, and was about to struggle and leap up.

Snapped!
There was a flash of silver light.

A bolt of lightning suddenly shot out from the orb on the cave ceiling and struck Chen Mu directly.

His muscles trembled, his strength relaxed, and the power he had just gathered dissipated instantly.

His body twitched uncontrollably twice on the spot, and then he was pressed firmly to the ground by an invisible force, unable to move.

"Even underground there are restrictions to block it." Chen Mu frowned: "Li Yang Dao is indeed up to no good."

He descended into the ground, and at some point, he triggered a burst of energy, suddenly feeling dizzy and disoriented, before being transported into this cave.

Lightning and an invisible pressure came crashing down on him all at once. Before he could react, they slammed him to the ground.

"It's dangerous here, I can't stay any longer." He hardened his heart and was about to use the Five Ghosts Possession technique to forcefully break through the confinement.

But the next moment, lightning flashed overhead, and a chorus of wails and curses suddenly echoed through the underground cave.

Chen Mu's movements immediately slowed down.

"There are other people? Hmm...that's good!"

"Let the others go and test the waters first to see if there is any danger."

Thinking this, the five paper ghost figures that had just poked their heads out from the chest immediately scurried back inside.

He lay quietly on the ground, pricked up his ears, and listened carefully to what the others in the cave were doing.

Then he discovered that in just a few breaths, the entire space became completely quiet.

All dead?
Can't you?
Although this lightning is fierce, its main function is to paralyze and subdue the enemy.

Chen Mu was curious and quietly glanced to the side.

As soon as he turned his head, he met a pair of encouraging eyes: "Young man, I'm out of ideas. What other tricks do you have up your sleeve? Use them now!"

Chen Mu: "..." You want me to take the fall, right?
Whether we can get out or not depends on you!

Hey!
That's an old, shady coin!

……

Explosions continued to be heard throughout Wuyan Mountain.

Tensions were high at the Cloud Top Palace.

Sun Jian and his two companions surrounded Liu Ling tightly.

"Elder Liu, we are not your enemies." Huiming said solemnly, "The world in Yunzhou is gradually changing, and the earth veins and spiritual springs are drying up. No one can guarantee that we will survive this calamity safely."

"It is precisely because the earth's veins have been destroyed that Master Baita of Chongshan Dao came to cause trouble for Master Dongli."

"Unfortunately, the seven regions of Yunzhou have coexisted for hundreds of years, and their strengths are almost equal. Trying to suppress one side by the other will only result in mutual destruction, which is clearly not a good approach."

"But if we can merge more factions, then that's a different story."

"As long as we unite our forces and grow stronger, it won't be difficult for us to break out of Yunzhou."

"Elder Liu, if you want to further consolidate your Dao foundation, you cannot do without a stable environment and abundant resources."

"The best option is for the various factions to merge and the seven paths to become one family." Huiming said earnestly, "My Daoist Master Li has already gone to Jilong Mountain. You must make a decision soon."

Liu Ling glanced at the other person, then turned to Sun Jian: "You believe his nonsense."

Huiming's face immediately turned ugly.

Sun Jian said expressionlessly, "He can give me the secret method for establishing my Dao foundation."

"It seems you're determined to leave Chicken Coop Road," Liu Ling sighed.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a tall, thin figure appeared behind Sun Jian without warning.

The opponent formed a knife with his palm and fingers, and silently stabbed towards Sun Jian.

puff!
Blood splattered as Sun Jian's left arm was severed cleanly at the root by the attacker.
