Inspection staff patrolled back and forth.
Others were also asked to work together as much as possible, be alert and protect themselves, and prevent strange beasts from suddenly rushing out and causing chaos.
……
Half a month later, an unknown beast suddenly attacked from underground.
It swallowed up twenty or thirty people walking on the road in one gulp, then turned around, drilled into the ground and disappeared.
Even if Mo Wuzhou drove the flying kite there in time, he was still unable to catch the strange beast lying in ambush underground.
It's not even possible to determine what the strange beast is.
Tension and fear began to spread among the team.
Even if there is someone on guard, you should still sleep with one eye open.
Just when people were in panic, the number of strange beasts around suddenly decreased.
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Just at this moment, a majestic mountain gradually came into everyone's sight.
The mountain has two side-by-side peaks, with a bend in the middle, like a short double-pronged fork.
"That's our destination, Pengyue Mountain." Shang Huan said excitedly as he stood beside Chen Mu.
"After nearly three months of exploring the woods, we are finally there!"
Chen Mu also breathed a sigh of relief.
After drilling in the mountain for such a long time without stopping, even though he used the Buxu technique to save energy, he still felt exhausted both physically and mentally.
……
Pengyue Mountain looks close, but it is actually very far away.
It took another seven days of walking before we reached the foot of the mountain.
From a distance, Pengyue Mountain is covered with lush green, with the top of the mountain shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairy mountain.
But when we got closer, we found that large areas of grass and trees on the mountain were destroyed, revealing the bumpy soil and rocks underneath, which looked as ugly as patches.
"Do you know what's going on?" Chen Mu poked Shang Huan, who was getting taller and stronger beside him, with his elbow.
Whether it is the large black forests that look like they were burned, or the huge pits that seem to have been caused by a huge object crashing into the mountain, these traces are all very fresh.
"It's our Supervisor Song." Shang Huan smiled mysteriously.
"There is a cold pond between the twin peaks."
"There lives a cold moon toad inside, it is said to be a demon that has awakened!"
"Before we came, Supervisor Song came here in advance. The man and the monster fought for five days and five nights before they killed the toad and took over this territory!" Shang Huan looked fascinated.
Fighting for five days and five nights?
Do you want to be so exaggerated?
Chen Mu couldn't help but shake his head. Rumors were bound to be distorted and exaggerated.
However, the existence of Lengyue Toad is probably true.
After all, the battlefield is right before our eyes.
A demon who has awakened...
Chen Mu looked at the hillside that looked like a patchwork quilt with a complicated expression.
It is said that when strange beasts become enlightened, they can develop demonic energy and magical powers, be able to control wind and waves, and the powerful ones can even fly underground.
He felt a little scared, but wanted to see it with his own eyes.
"When I become stronger, I must find a demon that has awakened its mind to see what's going on." Chen Mu thought to himself.
……
Fell trees, opened up mountains, built canals, and constructed terraces.
The people of Jilongdao worked for two months in the south of Pengyue Mountain before completing the initial construction and gradually settling down.
at the foot of the mountain.
A wooden house stands at the end of a long terraced field.
The wooden house is six meters long and four meters wide, and is divided into a bedroom and a living room.
There is a two-meter-wide wooden corridor in front of the house.
A rocking chair is placed on the east side of the corridor.
Chen Mu was sitting in a rocking chair at the moment, drinking tea and looking at the lush yellow rice fields next to the wooden house.
"Finally, everything is settled down." Chen Mu sighed with relief.
After nearly half a year, the Keelung Road Lower House was finally relocated and rebuilt.
He also once again became a small farmer in Jilong Road Lower House.
"I don't know the distribution principle of the earth's spiritual energy." Chen Mu stared at a small pool with a diameter of two meters in front of the wooden corridor and marveled.
The pool is man-made. The water comes from Lengyuetan Lake on the mountainside. It contains a thin layer of earth spiritual energy and can be used to grow yellow sprout rice.
It is said that the concentration of earth spirit energy is higher in the mountains.
The area near Lengyuetan Lake is even comparable to Shangyuan Dojo.
"Good place!"
……
At night, the full moon hangs high.
The chirping of insects and the roaring of animals came one after another.
Inside the wooden house, Chen Mu lay on the bed with his eyes closed and slept soundly.
At midnight, he slowly opened his eyes.
The five ghosts flew out of the wooden house to be on guard, and Chen Mu stood up quietly.
Lifting the wooden board under the bed revealed a huge black hole with a diameter of one meter.
Black smoke filled the air around him, and Chen Mu jumped into the cave without hesitation.
Ten meters underground, a secret room about the size of a wooden house was quietly hidden among the soil.
Chen Mu jumped into the secret room and began to install fluorescent algae crystal balls on the wall.
After lighting up the secret room, he began to assemble the couch, and it took him a long time to finish.
There were stone walls and crystal chandeliers, and pine trees on both ends of the soft couch. There were also some tranquilizing pills roasting on the low table beside me.
During the days of cultivating the yellow rice fields, Chen Mu was also busy building an underground secret room for himself.
He can rest here and also practice using the exquisite jade plate.
Sitting on the couch and lying back, Chen Mu's whole body sank into the soft bedding.
"Comfortable..."

Chapter 258: Divine Movement
There is a platform on the hillside of Pengyue Mountain.
It is nearly 300 meters long from east to west and more than 100 meters from north to south, which is larger than two football fields.
To the north of the platform is a straight cliff about five or six meters high.
The southern border connects with the hillside with a slight curve.
Seven stone steps extend from the border in different directions of the hillside, passing through terraced fields, covering the entire southern part of Pengyue Mountain and reaching the edge of the foot of the mountain.
Chen Mu walked up the two-meter-wide stone steps and came to the entrance of the platform.
A two-meter-high stone block sits next to the steps.
The south side was neatly flattened, with three large characters engraved on it - Lengyuefang.
Due to the tight time schedule, Lengyuefang was not built to perfection.
The dirt ground had some potholes.
The wooden houses in the market town still smelled of grass and trees after the trees were felled.
On the outer walls of some houses, you can still see green branches and leaves.
They went straight to Baicao Pavilion and Chen Mu handed the waiter a list of medicinal materials.
The guy in his thirties, dressed in a gray shorts, had a smile on his face, but after reading Chen Mu's list, a look of bitterness appeared on his face.
"Sir, I'm so sorry. The other herbs are fine, but we don't have the purple-leafed incense and snake grass beard."
"How long will it take for the goods to be available?" Chen Mu frowned slightly.
"If we can't trade with the outside world in the short term, we can only wait until the medicinal fields are harvested before we can get the goods."
"You'll have to wait at least half a year for these two kinds of herbs."
Chen Mu was not giving up: "Do you have any stock? I can pay a little more."
"I would like to earn your money, but..." The guy in gray spread his hands with a wry smile.
Chen Mu's face looked unhappy. Without these two medicines, the Tranquilizing Pills could not be made.
"Sir, do you want any other herbs?" the waiter asked softly.
"Wrap it up." Chen Mu sighed.
The relocation of the Lower House was hasty, and resources in Pengyue Mountain are scarce. What is left now may be sold out in a few days.
Not long after, the guy in gray handed Chen Mu a big package.
"Sir, four white jades in total."
