"Why, do you want to go to Jigu City as soon as possible?" Shi Dechun raised his chin towards Niu Sanmiao in the distance: "I'm afraid that Niutou will not be happy."
"Niu Sanmiao wants us to help him collect jade dew?" Chen Mu frowned even more tightly.
Are they going to treat these evil spirits as free labor?
But twenty Jade Dew Beads is the fixed price for the fare. If they force you to pay more than this, even if they are not afraid of causing trouble now, aren’t they afraid of retaliation in the future?
As if he could see what Chen Mu was thinking, Shi Dechun shrugged his shoulders and said, "We all rely on him to lead the way. He can always find another reason."
"Don't think too much. You've already died once, so why worry? Just wait."
Chen Mu glanced at the gray wall experience and nodded silently.
It is just right to use this time to practice the Dew Gathering Spell to its limit, and then the power of the Qi Ban Baili can be restored a little, and it will be safer.
"Who would have thought that there is no earth spiritual energy in the underworld." Chen Mu grinned helplessly.
Even in the remote island of Daliang, there was still a thin amount of vitality. But in the underworld, at least near the Forgotten River, there was no vitality at all.
"If I switch bodies, once my magic power is used up, it won't be easy to recover." Chen Mu sighed.
Although there are white jade coins in the Five Ghosts Bag, the quantity is limited after all.
He looked at his body in the dark space. After more than 20 days, his body had only recovered a little. The injuries caused by the corrosion of the Forgotten River seemed to have residual power that prevented the muscles from regenerating. Fortunately, he had a strong physique, otherwise the recovery speed would be even slower.
"We can only use the magic power secrets as a trump card in times of crisis." Chen Mu narrowed his eyes: "It is better to master the Yin Spirit Magic."
Since the true form of the Cloud Mirage Sky Demon can practice the Dew Gathering Spell and use Qi to confine a hundred miles, it should also be able to use the power of the Yin spirits.
"The ability to confuse the gods is still too weak for now, and this ability can easily arouse fear, so it is not good to use it frequently."
"Well, I still have to restore my Qi Ban Baili first."
"At least there is some power at hand."
……
Two days later, in the evening, by the campfire in the wilderness camp.
Niu Sanmiao walked over leisurely with his hands behind his back. He collected the jade dew from everyone's hands one by one, but he was in no hurry to leave.
Instead, he smiled and pinched a transparent round bead and said, "This bead that can absorb and store jade dew is called Moon Burdock Bead."
"In my case, one bead only costs one gourd of jade dew."
"It's not time yet, we have to stay by the river for a few more days. If you want to save some Jade Dew in advance, you can come to me to buy some Moon Burdock Pearls."
When everyone heard this, their faces suddenly turned unhappy and they started talking about it.
This moon's burdock pearl is definitely not worth a gourd of jade dew. Niu Sanmiao just found a new way to squeeze out everyone's jade dew.
Shi Dechun approached Chen Mu, winked and whispered: "See, he always has other excuses."
Chen Mu narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly.
"Uncle Niu, do you know which direction this Jiugu City is in?" someone suddenly asked.
Chen Mu couldn't help but look over.
Are you preparing to go on the road alone?
He looked at Niu Sanmiao again, but the other party was not angry. Instead, he looked up and pointed behind him.
"I won't lie to you. Just keep walking in the direction I point you to, and you'll reach Jiugu City in about seven days."
"If you're in a hurry, you can just go." Niu Sanmiao said with a smile, "But you have to know one thing, I won't refund the toll you collected."
After saying this, he didn't care about everyone's reactions, put his hands behind his back and continued to collect jade dew from other places.
Are you really that magnanimous?
Chen Mu shook his head slightly: "I'm afraid this road is not very safe."
Shi Dechun nodded as if he had seen through everything: "Otherwise he wouldn't be so confident."
"Who made him a ghost soldier in the city?"
“This is what they eat.”
Chen Mu nodded.
He didn't really care about the jade dew beads. With his current proficiency, he could condense a gourd in less than a quarter of an hour. What he cared about was the risk factor that made Niu Sanmiao sure that everyone dared not go on the road alone.
"We have to fill up the Dew Gathering Spell as soon as possible!"
……
With a vague sense of crisis in his heart, he began to cast the Dew-Gathering Spell with greater devotion.
As he became more proficient in the spell, he clearly felt a force stirring within his body.
Three days later, in the evening.
It wasn't long since we returned to the camp from the Forgotten River.
Chen Mu sat cross-legged beside the bonfire he had just lit and recited the dew-collecting spell.
The whole person suddenly shook, and a force suddenly gushed out from all parts of the body.
Chen Mu immediately looked at the experience on the gray wall.
Dew Collection Spell: Extreme;
really……
As soon as he thought about it, the power was easily controlled and tightly wrapped around his body. A warm feeling suddenly arose, and the cold wind that made the ghosts shiver at night was immediately blocked out of his body.
The next moment, a strange force flew out, and a piece of dry grass beside his feet was slightly suspended.
The air is restricted for a hundred miles!
Chen Mu's mouth corners suddenly curled up.
"Before, the Qi was confined for a hundred miles because the Heavenly Demon's true form lacked mana to activate? Now that the power of the Yin Spirit has been discovered, it has revived immediately."
"So, it's not just for the purpose of gathering Jade Dew, but also for the purpose of awakening the power of the Yin Spirit, so we teach the Yin Spirit the Dew Gathering Spell?"
He turned to look at the one-eyed man Hai Yuan, who was sitting by the campfire and chanting a spell.
"No wonder this guy, who has no shortage of Jade Dew, is still practicing the Dew Gathering Spell."
"What news did Niu Sanmiao reveal?"
Looking at the strange figures who were busy practicing the Dew Gathering Spell, Chen Mu suddenly understood.
"Tsk, what a unique treatment for those with extraordinary talents."

Chapter 428 Black Wind
The next night.
Gray clouds floated in the sky, the night grew darker, a slight cold breeze blew, and the flames in the fire flickered.
As usual, everyone was still discussing whether or not to go to Jiugu City alone.
Chen Mu sat cross-legged beside the campfire, seemingly resting with his eyes closed.
But his mind was focused on the newly acquired Yin spiritual power.
This cool power is stored in the body and can be easily released to resist the cold wind, or easily stored in the body to remain motionless. It can be used to activate the dew-collecting spell, and can also drive the Qi-ban 100-mile magical power.
"It's just that the total amount is a bit too small." Chen Mu smacked his lips.
In the past, the Qi Ban of Hundred Miles could easily cover an area of more than 400 meters. If the Five Ghosts Possession was used, it would be easy to cover an area of three to five miles.
Now...
As soon as he thought about it, an invisible and intangible sphere slowly expanded with Chen Mu as the center. After covering the camp, it became difficult to spread outward.
He tried many times in the past two days to expand further, but he was powerless and ended in failure every time.
"As a means of investigation, it is far inferior to the method of listening."
Just as he was expressing his emotion, Qi Jin Baili suddenly felt a strange sensation, as if a ball of gas was stretching open his clenched palms.
Chen Mu's attention suddenly focused, and he immediately discovered that a ball of black wind was appearing not far from the camp.
It spun, expanded, twisted and deformed, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a long black wind snake that crashed into the camp.
Chen Mu suddenly opened his eyes, picked up Shi Dechun and jumped up, jumping five meters away from the campfire.
The next moment, the black wind swept away everyone sitting beside the campfire.
The flames flickered and quickly went out, the scarlet charcoal instantly turned dark and dim, and in the blink of an eye, a thin layer of frost condensed on it!
The black wind did not stop and raged throughout the camp, knocking everyone to the ground.
Just as everyone was panicking, a red light suddenly lit up.
At some point, Niu Sanmiao was standing in the middle of the camp holding a red lantern.
The red light of the lantern seemed to be real, spreading rapidly around with Niu Sanmiao as the center.
The invisible black wind group seemed to have met its nemesis and was pushed out of the camp by the red light without any resistance. Accompanied by a strange humming sound, it turned into a gust of wind and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Light a fire and put the frozen ones next to the campfire. The others should take a rest and go to the river tomorrow morning." Niu Sanmiao's calm voice spread throughout the camp.
When everyone came back to their senses, they realized that when the black wind was raging just now, all those who were knocked over by the black wind had dark and gloomy faces. There was even white frost on their eyebrows and hair. They lay on the ground motionless, like frozen pork.
Everyone hurriedly lit a bonfire, dragged the frozen person to the bonfire, and gathered together to discuss the matter with lingering fear.
Shi Dechun also felt frightened, and he bowed to Chen Mu beside him: "Thank you, Brother Chen, for rescuing me."
Chen Mu waved his hand: "What is that?"
"It's Heifeng!" Shi Dechun looked solemn.
"Niutou mentioned it before, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful that a slight touch could freeze a person."
"If you encounter it in the wilderness, without the protection of the red lantern, you will die."
"No wonder that damned bull head was so sure that we dared not go to Jiugu City alone."
Chen Mu's expression was strange.
