I am grinding experience in another world - Chapter 777 - 765: Possession
Northern Yizhou, the wind and snow filled the sky.
A white deer with crystal red eyes stepped through the thick snowstorm, arriving in front of Tangshan.
The flesh on its neck slowly writhed and protruded, as if another creature was hiding beneath its snowy white fur.
The next moment.
Squish!
The skin split and the flesh burst open, revealing a gigantic head-sized sphere of flesh bristling with dark green veins, floating into the air.
Countless snowflakes gathered toward the flesh sphere, wrapping it into a large snowball.
The white deer on the ground rapidly shriveled, its snow-white fur transforming into a furry garment and flew into the snowball.
Before long, a small figure with a cold demeanor and eyes like red rubies appeared in mid-air.
She landed barefoot, her black hair dancing in the wind and snow, her eyes fixed on the distant Tangshan, expressionless.
Behind her, a half-man tall black-haired ape emerged from the wind and snow.
With each step it took, large patches of its fur shed, and its hunched figure continuously expanded and stood upright. By the time it reached the woman’s back, it had already transformed into a brawny man over two meters tall, clad in pitch-black armor.
He kneeled on one knee, face full of respect: “Welcome, Kunpeng Demon Saint!”
“Hei Shan, what is this place?” A cool voice devoid of any emotional fluctuation echoed.
“This place is called Tangshan.” Hei Shan quickly replied.
“Originally, it was the human demon stronghold in this world, but for some reason, they have all been relocated, leaving a spirit land unguarded, making it ideal for setting up teleportation-related forbidden laws between the two realms.”
“That’s precisely why I guided you to descend here.”
Kunpeng Demon Saint surveyed the distant Tangshan and nodded slightly: “Can the transplants of the demon soldiers proceed smoothly?”
“Rest assured, Demon Saint, there’s no human demon within a thousand miles here, making the reincarnation of demon soldiers exceptionally easy.” Hei Shan grinned.
“The places chosen for descent by the two Demon Generals, Red-haired and Green Barbarian, are also mostly remote, without any strong human demons stationed.”
“Furthermore, with the Emperor’s Liquid as a cover, the accompanying demon soldiers will surely be able to infiltrate the bodies of this world’s demon beasts seamlessly.”
“Just a few more doses of the Emperor’s Liquid for stimulation, and they can be reborn through possession without arousing the humans’ suspicion.” Hei Shan appeared confident.
…
“This Exotic Beast, something seems off about it.”
Two hundred miles south of Weizhi Peak, Chen Mu curiously eyed the fire-red-furred fox before him.
The fox was the size of a yellow dog, emitting a weak aura. If it weren’t for its animated eyes, exuding a certain spirituality, it could barely be considered an Exotic Beast.
It was clearly just an ordinary fox with barely any spirituality, yet when its silhouette was captured by the Truth Listening Divine Power, the Jade Seed Dao Foundation inexplicably trembled.
“Nothing peculiar about it, though.”
Chen Mu frowned, going back and forth, examining, yet still unable to identify anything wrong.
“In that case…”
Yama’s Feast!
Rolling silver and black mist enveloped the fiery red fox. Accompanied by a brief shriek, it was devoured in the blink of an eye.
“The blood and flesh essence are meager, the soul is weak, and the Exotic Beast bloodline is not…
“Wait, it seems somewhat decent!”
Chen Mu raised an eyebrow, carefully feeling it.
“Not just decent! It’s surprisingly pure!” He was visibly astonished.
During this period, he had devoured many Exotic Beasts, most with weak and mixed bloodlines.
But the fire fox before him was different.
While an ordinary Exotic Beast’s innate bloodline resembled a thin strand of hair, the bloodline of the fire fox was akin to a stalk of straw. Stronger, more complex, and pure!
Chen Mu summoned a gray Stone Gate, eyeing the Heavenly Demon Armor Secret Technique.
“Just one practice session yielded sixty-three experience points?!”
“Ordinary Exotic Beasts could at most provide twenty or thirty experience points.”
“Tsk tsk, something is definitely off!”
“Is it the stimulus of the Emperor’s Liquid causing the bloodline to revert to its ancestral state?” Chen Mu had an epiphany.
Institute Yuan Zhen mentioned that the Emperor’s Liquid could trigger Exotic Beast metamorphosis, and unexpectedly he just encountered a case now.
“The expanse of the Southwest harbors many Exotic Beasts similar to the fire fox, perhaps there’s more than one.”
If they all transform into monsters, then come to Nine Peaks Mountain to seize spirit lands…
“That won’t do!”
Chen Mu’s expression turned serious.
Institute Yuan Zhen treated him well, and both Supervisors were easy to get along with.
In the past half-year at Nine Peaks Mountain, he was quite comfortable.
Since the Jade Cicada Dao Foundation could detect anomalies in advance, he couldn’t just ignore it!
“I must find them all and use Yama Feasting Divine Power to eradicate them completely!” He looked resolute.
Yes.
I’m doing this for the safety of everyone at Nine Peaks Mountain, not to hasten my cultivation of the Heavenly Demon Armor!
Chen Mu was firm in his belief.
…
Star-picking Peak, Star-picking Hall.
Yuan Zhen looked at the exotic beast in front of him, the size of a wild boar, with spikes dark as iron like a hedgehog, his brows tightly furrowed.
“The soul is active, but the soul is particularly stable, completely different from the violent temperament of ordinary exotic beasts during Awakening.”
“Could it be that the Emperor’s Liquid can make the Awakening of exotic beasts so discreet?!”
“If it weren’t for Mr. Chen deliberately placing this exotic beast in front of me, I might not have even noticed anything unusual.” His expression inevitably became serious.
“Then doesn’t this Southwest land hide many exotic beasts that are about to awaken!” Left Supervisor Hu Sheng’s face changed.
“If they were to unite to seize the Spirit Land and attack Nine Peaks Mountain together…”
“Institute, we must preemptively hunt and expel them!” His expression turned cold and stern.
“Leave this to me.” Chen Mu immediately spoke: “I’ve dealt with quite a few Heavenly Demon Monsters in Outer Heaven and developed a Sensing and Searching Secret Technique to discover these types of demon beasts.”
“This…”
“In that case, I’ll trouble Mr. Chen!” Yuan Zhen took a deep breath, cupping his hand in gratitude.
“No need to stand on ceremony, Institute, I’m now part of Nine Peaks Mountain as well.” Chen Mu waved his hand righteously.
“If there’s anything you need, whether it’s resources or manpower, just let me know.” Yuan Zhen became even more grateful.
“No need!” Chen Mu shook his head.
Nine Peaks Mountain only has a few people, even counting the cooks, it’s only about two or three thousand.
With such a vast mountain forest in the Southwest, how many exotic beasts can we catch in a day with just these people?
“Institute, I have a Yin Soldier Secret Technique that can replace a large number of manpower.” Chen Mu said.
If we’re talking about numbers, it has to be the hundred thousand ghosts in the Five Ghosts Bag!
“But isn’t that the Thousand Mechanism Puppetry Skill!” Right Supervisor Lin Tu’s eyes lit up, full of interest.
“I almost forgot, our friend was once a distinguished student of the Thousand Mechanisms Sect.” Yuan Zhen suddenly realized.
Ghosts?
Yan Shi Puppetry Skill?
Ah, well…
It’s not impossible!
“Yes, this is the authentic Thousand Mechanism Puppetry Skill!” Chen Mu nodded affirmatively.
“Institute, you know, the Thousand Mechanisms Sect is best at turning exotic beasts and monsters into Yan Shi’s Tools, my Yin Soldier Skill is similar.”
“It’s just that the raw materials are a bit unconventional, so it looks a tad unorthodox, I wonder…” he cautiously opened his mouth, feigning hesitation.
“What are you saying, friend, there is neither right nor wrong in methods, if used righteously, then it is righteous, feel free to do what you must, friend!” Yuan Zhen dismissively waved his hand.
Well, you said it!
Chen Mu immediately took out the Five Ghosts Bag, and one by one the ghosts soared into the sky with a whoosh.
In just a few breaths, the sun over Star-picking Peak disappeared, replaced by a pitch-black cloud.
Moreover, the cloud kept expanding, threatening to cover the entire Nine Peaks Mountain!
Feeling the gusts of Yin Wind above, and listening to the wailing of ghosts, the faces of the three, Yuan Zhen included, twitched fiercely.
This is not just a bit unorthodox.
This is downright sinister!
“Institute, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go catch the monsters!” Chen Mu said excitedly.
Yuan Zhen’s eyelids twitched.
This doesn’t seem right.
This is a thankless task, why is this Mr. Chen not only enjoying it but also seems a bit eager?!
“Go, go, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Chen!” Yuan Zhen nodded strangely.
Even with his deep cultivation, he couldn’t help but feel his scalp tingle looking at the ghosts filling the sky.
Chen Mu chuckled, flashed in golden light, and vanished in an instant.
Heavenly Demon Armor experience bundle, here I come!
…
“Institute, is the Thousand Mechanism Puppetry Skill of the Thousand Mechanisms Sect all this… uh, unorthodox?” Lin Tu watched the escape light of Chen Mu disappear, then looked at the black clouds churning in the sky, his face full of disbelief.
How is that possible?
He had been cultivating for decades and had seen the secret techniques of the Thousand Mechanisms Sect before.
“Perhaps… it’s just our Mr. Chen who is this unorthodox.” Yuan Zhen sighed, shaking his head.
“Just as expected from a Daoist Soldier who once roamed Outer Heaven hunting Heavenly Demon Monsters, his methods are wild.” Left Supervisor Hu Sheng exclaimed.
“Forget it, the methods may be a bit sinister, but as long as they work, it’s fine.”
“Looking on the bright side, it at least helped solve the exotic beast threat for us, right?” Yuan Zhen opened his mouth.
Indeed it is.
That’s all we can settle for.
We did say there’s neither right nor wrong in methods.
What else can be done?
