"Forget it, there's no point in thinking so much."
"Now that we are in a remote and wild area, whether we continue to seek information from the Yin spirits or set out directly to find Feng'an City, we can't do without the Nine Cups Mathematical Scripture to predict the direction and guide us."
"Instead of having wild thoughts, it's better to spend more time practicing the Nine Cups Mathematics."
……
For a period of time afterwards, Chen Mu devoted more energy to mathematics.
He was not in a hurry to find Feng'an City, but continued to look for the ghosts living in the surrounding area, gaining experience while also using this to verify the accuracy of his calculations.
After a busy half month, he successfully found two more gathering places of Yin spirits.
The first gathering place was more than 400 miles southwest of Heifengao, with seventy or eighty people. He found it after calculating it nineteen times in a row.
The second gathering point was in an underground cave 600 miles north of Heifengao, where the environment was safer and nearly 300 people gathered. He calculated it 35 times before he finally found it.
“The farther the distance, the lower the accuracy?”
"It's a bit troublesome..."
He was not sure where Feng'an City was, but it was at least thousands of miles away from Heifengao.
"We can only try multiple measurements to improve accuracy."
Having made up his mind, he no longer went out to look for ghosts.
Because the newly found ghosts are just like everyone else in Heifengao. In their knowledge, there has never been any provincial capital or big city. They are mostly just guesses and conjectures that are heard by others. They are of no reference value for finding Feng'an City.
As a result, he had a clearer understanding of the remoteness of the place he was in, and it was almost impossible to find Feng'an City through the information of ghosts.
"We still have to rely on the Nine Cups of Calculation."
……
On this day, snowflakes were floating in the gray sky again, and the biting cold wind was howling.
Inside the wooden house, a clay stove stood under the window. The bright yellow flames, as big as human heads, ignited spontaneously without any firewood, making the whole room warm.
Chen Mu sat cross-legged on the soft couch next to the stove, his gray and white clothes loose on his body, his long hair casually scattered.
At this moment, he was squinting his eyes, staring at a row of knotted straw on the low table in front of him. Dots of silvery-white fluorescence flickered in his eyes, and as his fingers moved, strings of numbers emerged in his mind.
After a long while, Chen Mu opened his eyes.
"Southeast again?" He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
For more than half a month, he has been constantly calculating with Feng'an City as his target.
Out of more than 1,600 calculations, 223 of them pointed to the southeast.
Moreover, as the mathematical experience increases, this result in the southeast direction appears more and more frequently.
"Isn't this stable?"
Chen Mu couldn't help but smile.

Chapter 503 Five Dragons Unite
In the early morning, the sun rises and the sky is cloudless.
Somewhere in a deep mountain canyon, a five-meter-wide shallow mountain stream runs through the sparse mountain forest.
A fallen dead tree hung across the river, and gray-black stones of various sizes were scattered on both sides of the river.
Some half-melted thin ice hung on the edge of the stone, and clear water flowed, splashing drops of water from time to time, wetting the surface of the stone.
On the river bank, on a large millstone stone, a black light flashed and Chen Mu's figure appeared.
He stretched out his body facing the rising sun, and a dry and cold breeze unique to winter blew on his face. Chen Mu shivered suddenly and felt refreshed.
This was the sixth day since he left Heifengao.
In the past few days, he traveled carefully during the day and hid in Qiandeng City to sleep at night, walking only five or six hundred miles a day.
Moreover, he only used the Five Elements Escape Technique along the way, blending into the breeze to hide his body, and walked carefully all the way, and it can be said that everything was smooth sailing.
"The Nine Cups of Calculation finally had some effect."
"The calculation was based on the goal of returning safely to Feng'an City, and the resulting route is indeed very safe."
After admiring the scenery for a while, Chen Mu picked up some dry straw from the riverside and began to practice the Nine Cups Suanjing with skill.
The first thing he did when he opened his eyes in the morning was to practice arithmetic, which was a necessary item he added to himself while on the road, in order to increase the total amount of calculations and make more accurate corrections on the route back to Feng'an City.
After a long while, when the calculation was finished, Chen Mu couldn't help but smile.
"Nineteen out of a hundred measurements point to the southeast? Yesterday there were only fourteen. This sudden increase in probability is a good thing!"
"Based on our previous experience in finding gathering places for evil spirits, the closer the distance, the more accurate the calculation results."
"And these changes undoubtedly show that I am gradually approaching Feng'an City."
He was secretly happy when a wisp of white mist suddenly appeared. In the blink of an eye, the bright sunshine was completely blocked.
The forest was suddenly filled with thick fog, and only the stream at feet could be vaguely seen.
Weird monster?
Doesn’t the arithmetic show that this path is very safe?
How could a strange monster appear? !
Just as he was about to transform himself into a breeze and escape, countless black spots suddenly appeared in the thick fog before his eyes.
Looking closely, Chen Mu's face suddenly changed. He saw arms covered with dense black feathers like sharp arrows, which broke through the thick fog and came in front of him in the blink of an eye.
The air is restricted for a hundred miles!
hum!
An invisible strange force filled the air, and the pitch-black feathers that broke through the air suddenly stopped, as if frozen, and stopped directly in front of Chen Mu.
But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a bright yellow light suddenly flashed on a black feather.
boom!
Dense feathers exploded at the same time, and the entire riverside was suddenly ablaze. The surrounding rubble and trees were blown to pieces, and a hurricane-like impact suddenly spread in all directions, filling the air with smoke and dust.
After the thunder-like explosion faded away, the five dragon images that had gathered into a ball at the center of the explosion slowly stretched and opened, and Chen Mu appeared in the middle intact.
He stared at the huge figure looming in the thick fog with a cold expression.
"I was just looking for another speed-up pack for the Five Dragons Sutra, but I didn't expect you to deliver it to me on your own. Ha!"
As his mind turned, a huge five-dragon image rose into the air.
hold head high!
With a roar, the rolling thick fog was suddenly dispersed, and a strange figure as tall as four or five city towers appeared in the thick fog.
At first glance, the monster looked like a huge falcon with its wings spread, but it had horns on its head and a horse face full of fangs.
It has a pair of human feet as big as a small car, and its body is covered with black feathers. Under those black feathers, there are countless human heads hidden inside.
At this moment, those heads were staring at Chen Mu calmly with their lifeless eyes, which were clearly black and white, through the gaps between the feathers.
Just by looking at each other, Chen Mochu couldn't help but tremble all over.
"never mind."
"I'm in a good mood today, so I'll let you go for now."
Immediately, he withdrew his Yin Ling divine power, and the unique power of the Yin Feng Escape Technique quickly filled the surroundings.
But don't wait for him to fly away.
Roar!
A roar exploded.
The mist that was floating slowly around Chen Mu suddenly began to flow rapidly.
He only felt his body sinking, and a huge pressure suddenly descended upon him, just like the feather that he had just stopped. Chen Mu was instantly fixed in place, unable to move at all!
A black shadow flashed overhead, and a pair of huge wings as high as seven-story towers came towards him, like two guillotines, slashing fiercely towards Chen Mu's head.
To be finished!
Chen Mu's expression suddenly changed.
Five Dragon Dharma Images!
Five huge black dragons entangled with each other and spun at high speed, like a siege hammer, crashing straight into the wings of the guillotine.
boom!
With a loud bang, the two wings collided, and the huge five-dragon image was like a ball filled with water, which was immediately shattered by the wings and turned into countless fragments of mist.
not good!
Chen Mu's pupils suddenly shrank into needles.
Aura protecting you!
The air is restricted for a hundred miles!
Five ghosts possessed!
All kinds of secret skills were instantly applied to his body, and in the blink of an eye he turned into a muscular giant, with his hands subconsciously raised upwards.
boom!
Smoke and dust flew everywhere, and a strong impact spread, accompanied by a series of crisp crackling sounds, and the nearby trees were immediately knocked down and broken by the impact.
Chen Mu only felt a huge force coming, as if he was hit by a large iron ingot falling from the sky, and his legs sank into the ground with a plop.
An endless stream of sharp force attacked, and the hands raised above the head were constantly cut and stabbed.
If it weren't for the Baili Qi Ban's buffering and the protective spiritual light's resistance, I would have been torn to pieces by this force!
Chen Mu clenched his teeth, veins bulged on his arms, silver light flashed, and he kept pushing up, finally stopping the rapidly falling wings.
It was not until this moment that he realized that the wings were still several meters away from his hands. But the real pain from his hands told Chen Mu that he had indeed touched the entity.
