Chapter 404 Shadow

"Elder Song is gone?"

Sunset on the porch.

Chen Mu and Mo Wuzhou sat opposite each other on both sides of the square low table.

"If you hadn't left, this big toad wouldn't have appeared in front of your door." Mo Wuzhou glanced at Leng Yuechan angrily.

Immediately, he looked at Chen Mu suspiciously and asked, "You really didn't give it the ecstasy soup?"

He suspected that the accelerated development of Yuanbao's bloodline had something to do with Chen Mu.

"You can ask Yuan Bao." Chen Mu narrowed his eyes happily.

Mo Wuzhou immediately rolled his eyes, if this big toad is willing to talk, I will still come and ask you.

Forget it, it's not a bad thing anyway, I'm just a little curious.

"I asked Master Song to bring over a batch of scarce materials that can be used to refine the Peiyuan Pill."

"This is a thank you gift for helping Yuan Bao develop his bloodline. You can redeem it at the General Affairs Council tomorrow."

"It's a pity that you don't want to explain the situation, otherwise you wouldn't have to spend any money on this batch of materials."

Chen Mu felt happy for a moment, then froze on the spot.

Help Yuanbao develop his bloodline? Is there such a thing?

"Is there a mistake?" Chen Mu was confused.

Can Huiyuantang develop monster blood?

I've eaten so much, but I haven't opened up a few more secret holes.

"Don't you know?" Mo Wuzhou squinted at Chen Mu, full of disbelief.

"Senior brother, please clarify your doubts." Chen Mu said sincerely.

Mo Wuzhou immediately rolled his eyes: "They look pretty similar, do you think I believe it or not?"

Chen Mu couldn't help but twitch his lips. How come no one believes you when you tell the truth?

Mo Wuzhou smiled cheerfully: "You can ask Yuan Bao, do you think it will tell you?"

Chen Mu couldn't help turning his head to look at Yuan Bao.

The big toad squatted motionless and looked at the sky, ignoring Chen Mu's searching gaze.

Chen Mu suddenly became depressed.

It's not good for this big toad to have a too strict mouth.

Mo Wuzhou smiled happily, stopped talking, and concentrated on the feast in front of him.

…

Time flies, and January flies by.

Chen Mu went to the General Affairs Council to hand over a batch of Bigu Pills, and then went to Shanxiafang Market, bought a hundred catties of fresh antler black mutton, and strolled back to Chaoyang Mountain.

I made a large vat with steel clay, poured in water, added special herbs to soften the meat and remove the fishy smell, and immersed the newly purchased black mutton with antlers in it. Chen Mu moved out the rocking chair and sat comfortably in front of the door.

While drinking the green tea-flavored Hui Yuan Tang, he looked at the busy lower courtyard disciples in the terraces at the foot of the mountain, as if he had seen himself back then.

At that time, he had just arrived in Tongtianhe Lower Courtyard, and he also relied on growing yellow bud rice to survive and practice.

"I was not as strong as these disciples at that time."

"That life was really... not that difficult."

"Ahem, I don't know how much sweat I have shed to get where I am today."

"You must be diligent as a person. Only by working hard can you live a good life."

Chen Mu pretended to remember the bitterness and the sweetness, and spoke without any shame in his face.

After being moved for a long time, he started to smack his lips, urging Di to listen to the teachings with unfinished thoughts.

The next moment, Yamashita Fangshi's voice came to his ears.

He concentrated and listened carefully to discern.

After a long while, he regretfully stopped the operation of his magic power.

"No one cares about the White Smoke Monster anymore."

He also wanted to find out the origin of the monster.

It's a pity that although the monster is weird, there is no shortage of strange monsters in this world. Except for the initial surprise, people no longer paid attention to the entire Jilong Mountain. The topic of discussion once again became the battle to open up Jilong Road. Whoever has great luck and who has an opportunity, this is the ever-lasting hot spot in the city.

"But this monster can be related to the ghost. I feel like it's not that simple."

"Just ignore the chicken coop road? What if it comes again?"

One or two people with white smoke and basilisk are fine. What if you encounter that kind of behemoth that can cover the entire Jilong Mountain? Can the Order of the Emperor of Yama still be able to immobilize monsters and protect himself?

After thinking for a long time, Chen Mu couldn't think of a reason.

He raised his right hand and shook it slightly.

Stab.

A flash of white with cyan blue lightning appeared between the five fingers.

"Demons, ghosts and other things, they should be afraid of thunder and lightning." Chen Mu couldn't help but smile as he admired the flickering thunder.

Sun Jian's domineering Yin Lei left a deep impression on him.

He smiled and looked at the gray wall.

Kuishui Yin Lei: 103/10000/second level;

"When I practice my lightning skills to the top, all ghosts and white smoke will be killed!"

He clasped his middle finger and thumb and suddenly flicked it outward.

puff!

The compacted earth in front of the door suddenly exploded into a... small pit.

"Tsk..." Chen Mu grinned and shook his head: "I still have to keep going."

The second-level lightning magic wastes too much mana, the control is not precise enough, and the power is not satisfactory.

"It's not enough to use against the enemy, it can only be used to hack yourself."

With a thought in his mind, the bird's nest-like talisman inside the jade plant suddenly shimmered like countless branches gathered together.

Crackling.

Chen Mu's palm suddenly flashed with light, as if he was holding a lightning ball.

He took a deep breath, raised his mind, and tensed his muscles.

The next moment, the thunder ball in the palm of his hand suddenly exploded. A forearm-thick electric light suddenly shot into the air, then turned around in the air and whizzed straight to Chen Mu's chest.

Bang!

It was like being hit by a dump truck. He and his rocking chair were blown up in an instant.

After a long while, Chen Mu walked out of the room with a dark face. At this moment, his clothes were torn on his chest, bamboo pieces were broken on his head, and two puffs of smoke came out of his body from time to time.

The bamboo rocking chair that had followed him for many years could not die in the end and was smashed to pieces.

Chen Mu couldn't help but twitch his face.

"I was careless."

Thunder is thunder after all. He just thought that the power of the second-level thunder method was not enough, so he just added a little more force, and as a result, he was struck by lightning.

"Don't be impatient, you have to proceed step by step."

...

Late at night.

Jiaquan Mountain in front of Jilong Mountain.

A small building stood alone among the sparse woods on the west side of the mountain.

At a certain moment, the man in his forties who was sleeping in the room suddenly woke up. He frowned and got up, looking around.

The bright moonlight sprinkled into the room through the window. The ground was half bright and half dark.

The man let out a long sigh, and couldn't help but feel puzzled by the shock he had just experienced in his dream.

"I'm going to the new lower house tomorrow. Are you worried about the future, so you're uneasy?" The man shook his head and laughed.

"I want to make some money and earn more white jade money, so how can I avoid taking risks?"

Thinking of this, he got up and went to the window, looking at the bright terraces under the moonlight.

"Farming is stable, but it can't quickly accumulate resources. How can I practice without fighting or competing?"

Just as he was feeling that he was about to leave the familiar environment where he had lived for several years, a palpitation came again. The skin on his back tightened for no reason, just like when he was hunting a strange beast and was stared at from behind by the beast.

"No!"

He looked back suddenly, and saw that the shadow under the moonlight seemed to be alive, crawling forward quickly along the ground.

Before he could react, it suddenly jumped up from the ground and swallowed him in it.

A short scream just sounded and stopped abruptly.

Outside the window, the moonlight was still there.

Inside the house, it was silent.

It was as if nothing had happened.
