My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 603 Escape
The entrance to the Dragonfire Passage lies in a vast, boundless lava lake.

Gulp...

Like plump dumplings after being cooked, each one a hot, dark red turtle shell that avoids water, emerges from the bottom of the lava lake.

It swayed from side to side for a while before gradually coming to a stop.

"what happened?"

Inside the water-avoiding shuttle compartment of the Pingning, Lei Hong steadied his swaying body, his face filled with panic.

"Is there really something wrong with the Dao Master?" Lei Cheng had already realized what was going on, and his face turned grim.

"That strange barrier, which looks like a black membrane, is never mentioned in the 'Commentary on the Fire Path of the Loach Dragon'." Chen Mu's expression was equally unpleasant.

The two crimson feather magic swords resembled swimming fish, darting through the scorching magma.

Using his supernatural ability to listen, he quickly counted all the water-avoiding shuttles.

Those water-repelling shuttles that hadn't had their chilling aura removed have all disappeared.

"Fuck!"

He had previously suspected that Qiu Jinwu might have ill intentions, and now that it had been confirmed, Chen Mu couldn't help but feel alarmed, even though he was prepared.

That is a great cultivator who has reached the Dao Foundation Perfection!

“Then we…” Lei Hong was terrified.

"Let's go!" Chen Mu immediately made the decision.

Dao Lord Qiu Jinwu has a secret plan, and although the full picture is unclear, it is definitely not a good thing!
By disrupting the enemy's plot and temporarily escaping their control, when else would we leave?
"Run for your lives!"

Lei Cheng remained silent, but his magical power began to surge wildly.

The Kui Niu drum resounded with a dull thud, clearly having been pushed to its limit.

The Pingning, a water-avoiding shuttle, suddenly raised its head, its massive hull resembling a fish emerging from the water, leaping abruptly into the air.

Once it reaches its highest point, it turns around and falls, plunging headfirst into the lava lake and disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

……

At the top of the Wuyun, Lei Wen, who was checking the situation around, was stunned by the Pingning's operation.

"Second Uncle, Third Uncle?"

"They rushed into the lava lake as if fleeing. Is there some unknown danger here?"

He looked around in surprise and immediately discovered that the water-avoiding shuttle where his ancestor was had mysteriously disappeared.

Lei Wen instinctively sensed something was wrong, so he immediately rolled over and crawled into the water-avoiding shuttle, learning how to operate it like the Pingning, and piloted the water-avoiding shuttle into the depths of the lava lake.

"Do my second and third uncles know something?" Lei Wen wondered uneasily.

He suddenly remembered something: just the day before yesterday, his third uncle, Lei Hong, had come to Wuyun Shipyard to ask him to exchange medicinal herbs.

Before leaving, he handed me a complete book, "Annotations on the Fire Path of the Loach Dragon," which contained all the routes of the Fire Path of the Loach Dragon.

However, the Goose and Sheep Path fleet was connected as one, so they did not need to identify the fire path.

Unless one leaves the fleet and sails alone, there is no need to use the "Commentary on the Fire Path of the Loach Dragon".

"Will the Goose Sheep Path fleet disband?"

"Is it a similar incident to the monster attack we had last time?"

Lei Wen's mind raced, and his eyelids twitched incessantly.

Not waiting for him to figure it out.

boom!
The lava lake suddenly trembled violently, and the Gokumo was rocking back and forth as if it were drunk.

Upon hearing this, Lei immediately increased his magical power and quickly manipulated the water-repelling shuttle to sink.

……

At this moment, the once calm lava lake suddenly began to churn and boil, surging like a raging sea.

Numerous enormous water-repelling shuttles resembled small boats, swaying helplessly with the rise and fall of the lava.

next moment.

With a loud boom, a huge five-fingered dragon claw suddenly emerged from the magma wave.

A water-avoiding shuttle the size of a football field, as big as a walnut, was instantly caught in the dragon's claws.

With a flick of its claw, the water-avoiding shuttle whizzed into the air.

Before anyone knew it, a swirling black cloud had appeared out of nowhere and stood in mid-air.

At the edge of the vortex, black mist surged and swirled, while at the center, it resembled a constantly rippling curtain of water, pitch black inside, where nothing could be seen.

The water-avoiding shuttle, which soared into the air, was like a basketball thrown into a net; it disappeared into the black hole in a flash.

Suddenly, Qiu Jinwu, dressed in a purple robe with gold thread and eyes flashing with lightning, appeared in mid-air.

Compared to the enormous water-avoiding shuttle and the dragon claw, he was like a tiny sesame seed.

Yet this little man easily stirred up the scorching, massive lava lake.

He stared coldly at the various sizes of tortoise shells, ignoring the panicked cries coming from inside. His eyes suddenly blazed with lightning, like two bright lamps.

Boom boom boom...

Countless magma dragon claws suddenly shot out. Whether they were stationary or scattering in all directions, the water-avoiding shuttles were all grabbed by the magma dragon claws and thrown into the black hole in mid-air.

Dozens of miles away, Chen Mu, who was using the Zhu Yu magic sword to perform the Divine Listening ability, was immediately stunned by this grand scene.

"Back so quickly? And even personally taking action?"

"Akijin Gou isn't even bothering to hide anymore!"

The Sutra of Carrying Mountains!
Thousands of ghostly spirits flew out of the Five Ghost Bag, billowing black smoke gathered together, and immense divine power surged forth, its energy restricting a hundred miles to transform into an invisible giant hand, which suddenly slammed down behind the Water-Avoiding Shuttle.

Just like using a bamboo pole to propel a boat, the water-avoiding shuttle, which was already diving rapidly, was suddenly accelerated by this push.

At the same time, a gray mist swirled around the Water-Avoiding Shuttle. The Mountain-Carrying Scripture's Yin Wind Escape Technique was being activated at full power!
Run, run, run!
We can't linger for even a moment!

Chen Mu put all his effort into accelerating the water-repelling shuttle, his face flushed red, and the veins on his neck bulged out.

……

An hour later.

Lava lake at the entrance to the Loach Dragon Fireway.

The towering waves of lava have subsided, but the air has been stirred up to become increasingly dry and scorching.

As if standing on flat ground, Akio Kingo stood in mid-air without any spiritual light around him.

At this moment, his face, the back of his hands, and other exposed skin were covered with countless fine cracks, resembling a piece of porcelain that was about to shatter, a truly terrifying sight.

sizzle...

With a soft, squelching sound like water spurting after a tubing puncture, drops of bright red blood, speckled with pale gold, seeped from the cracks in the broken porcelain.

"You really went all out, forcibly activating the Dragon Ball and depleting it after years of refinement." A vertical pupil-shaped black hole silently appeared beside Qiu Jinwu, clicking its tongue.

"Are the offerings enough?" Akio asked in a hoarse voice, unmoved.

"Nearly one-seventh of the Qi Refiners in Yunzhou have entered your Heavenly River Dharma Realm, how could it not be enough!" The firelight flickered inside the black hole.

"How many ran?"

"There are twenty or thirty ships, I suppose. What, do you want to wipe them all out?" A surprised voice came from inside the vertical pupil black hole.

"Not to mention the offerings, they are enough for you to summon the other half of the Loach Dragon Pearl."

"Just talk about yourself."

"Those attacks just now must have damaged your Dao foundation, right?"

"Instead of hurrying to refine the Dragon Pearl and nurture your foundation, you still want to track down and attack? Don't you want to die?"

Qiu Jinwu's eyes shifted slightly as he glanced sideways at the vertical pupil-shaped black hole beside him.

"Are you worried about my life?"

"It seems you suffered quite a bit from opening the portal earlier."

"That puts my mind at ease," Akio Kingo chuckled.

The flames inside the vertical pupil-shaped black hole suddenly shook violently.

"Ah……"

He turned his gaze back to the now calm lava lake.

"Consider it as leaving a legacy for the Goose and Sheep Path."

"Consider yourselves lucky..."

……

Two days later.

Deep underground, the Pingning, a dark red water-avoiding shuttle, drifted calmly along a river of lava.

Chen Mu, with the air bubble above his head and the five dragon energies swirling around him, squatted on top of the water-avoiding shuttle.

Reaching out, Chen Mu pressed a fist-sized piece of suffocating stone into the tortoise shell and straightened up. Looking at the crimson lava river around him, which was gurgling from time to time, he felt a slight sense of relief.

After two days and nights of rapid sailing, the Pingning water-avoiding shuttle had completely moved away from the entrance of the Qiulong Fire Channel, and they had successfully avoided the changes caused by Qiu Jinwu.

"Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and the response was quick enough."

"Listen attentively to the Dharma and you will achieve great merit."

Even now, recalling the scene he witnessed that day, Chen Mu is still filled with lingering fear.

If Qiu Jinwu were to catch them and throw them into that black hole, the consequences would be unpredictable.

"Qiu Jinwu, a Qi Refining cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, actually joined forces with those people from the Dragon Locking Academy?"

"Tsk... The world is full of wonders."

Although the vortex black hole was somewhat strange, the aura inside it was clearly a variant of the Yellow Springs Crossing.

At this time and place, the only ones who can perform similar Yin-Yang secret techniques are the Dragon Lockers of the Great Qian Dynasty who cultivate the Tongyou technique.

"What kind of benefits could make Qiu Jinwu sell his entire sect?"

"Is it some kind of secret technique or treasure that can help him cultivate his primordial spirit?"

Chen Mu seemed to understand something.

Qiu Jinwu is a Qi Refiner at the Foundation Establishment stage. His betrayal of his sect is most likely for the sake of his future path.

It just wiped out the entire Goose Sheep Path, plus those affiliated families and sects that had been lost along the way...

"This Master Qiu is truly ruthless!"

Chen Mu shook his head, his figure flashed, he changed positions, and continued to install the breath-extinguishing stone on the water-avoiding shuttle.

"Fortunately, the Qiulong Fireway is vast and its routes are as complex as a maze, with more than one route leading to Haizhou."

"If there is only one road, it would be troublesome if Qiu Jingu were caught up along the shipping route."

"Just in case, we should set up the Extinction Stone as soon as possible."

Previously, while diving at the bottom of the Tongtian River, I encountered several undercurrents.

But after he used the Breathless Stone to conceal the Water-Avoiding Shuttle, the undercurrent never appeared again.

Chen Mu now understands that it was most likely the Lock Dragon Academy that was behind it.

Just to be on the safe side, he decided to conceal the aura of the water-repelling shuttle.
