But when he was in Feng'an City, he didn't expect such a change to happen.
"In the end, you still have to walk back step by step on your own."
"Fortunately, I have made another breakthrough in the Five Dragon Sutra, and now I have some confidence to ensure my own safety."
Chen Mu brought up the gray wall.
Five Dragons Sutra: 93/10000/Level ;
Thanks to the help of the Horse-Faced Eagle-Bodied Monster Card Acceleration Pack, the Five Dragons’ experience points increased rapidly and it successfully entered the fifth stage yesterday afternoon.
As he thought about it, the black light swirled, flickered, and grew larger. Five dragon images suddenly appeared in mid-air, and the five huge dragons became more and more condensed.
The earliest Five Dragons' Dharma image was like a cloud. After the first devouring of the strange monster, it transformed and became like a constantly flowing mass of water. Now that it has entered the fifth stage, the entire Dharma image has transformed again, as if it were made of colored glaze.
Its entire body is black and gray, with translucent keratin in the form of keratin. Its horns are even larger and sharper, its facial muscles are knotted and bulging, and its entire body is filled with gray mist. It looks steady, majestic, ferocious and fierce!
Chen Mu took a deep breath.
Five dragons become one!
boom!
A force of energy suddenly spread out from Chen Mu like ripples, blowing down a large area of the surrounding grass and trees.
boom!
Countless black air currents appeared out of nowhere, swirling around Chen Mu's body, some fast and some slow.
He turned his eyes slightly and looked at a large millstone stone across the stream. Immediately, a wisp of gray air flew out like a sharp arrow, and disappeared into the stone in the blink of an eye.
The mottled black-gray stone that was exposed to wind and sun turned silently into a handful of powder and drifted away with the wind.
A clump of green grass pressed against the edge of the boulder also faded to gray at a speed visible to the naked eye and disappeared into smoke and dust.
Chen Mu raised his hand to look. Although there was nothing inside, he could clearly feel that there was a thin film covering the surface of his skin. This invisible film was the source of his protective Qi. Its strong defense was the culmination of all his defensive secrets.
"The Qi is with you, and you can fight and defend. As long as you are careful along the way, there is a high probability that you can return to Feng'an safely."
Waving his hand to disperse the secret method of the Five Dragons Combination, Chen Mu began to seriously consider the plan to return to Feng'an.
"Although the arithmetic is not very reliable, it is better than just rushing in. We still have to use it."
"However... it's obviously not safe to just calculate the location of Feng'an City. It's better to take into account the travel time."
These days, while he was practicing, he was also thinking about it. He felt that the reason why he encountered the strange monster before was not because he took the wrong path, but because he chose the wrong time to set out.
"The strange monsters are elusive and roaming around everywhere. They won't stay in one place."
"So the same road might be safe in the morning but dangerous in the afternoon."
"As long as you take the travel time into account, you can greatly reduce the risk of encountering a strange monster."
He immediately pulled up a handful of thatch and recalculated.
Taking 600 miles per day as the maximum moving distance, Feng'an City as the final destination, safety as the major premise, and then adding the departure time, Chen Mu calculated it thirty-two times in a row and soon smiled.
"We set out at noon, and traveled 600 miles a day. Of the 32 measurements, 12 of them pointed to the southeast!"
This is the first time he has obtained a result with such a high probability after all his calculations.
Chen Mu seemed to vaguely understand the usage of Nine Cups Arithmetic.
“Be rigorous and set the prerequisites as detailed as possible.”
"It's like asking a question. If you don't express the question clearly, you can't expect to get the correct answer."
He immediately continued to calculate, and counted a hundred times in one breath, and the result was that forty-three times he pointed to the southeast.
"This is a sure thing!"
Chen Mu couldn't help but smile.

Chapter 505 Bad Luck
Three hundred miles west of Feng'an City, in a dense forest on a small hill, the air was distorted.
puff!
With a slight sound, Shen Bu and Hu Mang suddenly appeared in the air with panic on their faces.
As soon as they landed, they stood back to back and looked around cautiously. After looking for a while, they found that the surroundings were safe, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.
Hu Mang sat down tremblingly, holding on to an old tree. Shen Bu ignored the dirt and dust on the ground and just lay on his back with his arms and legs spread.
"This job is impossible to do!" Shen Bu slammed his fist on the ground covered with dead leaves and howled at the top of his lungs.
"I had just opened the mud seal on the jar of immortality wine and hadn't poured it out yet, when that weird monster burst out!"
"The Secret Service only told us to throw out the bait, but it didn't say that the bait would be so tempting."
"It would have been better if they had told us in advance so that we could be prepared. This is obviously asking us to die!"
"Why are you howling!" Hu Mang shouted coldly, his face not looking good: "Be content, we have ruined the assassination mission of the Mo Ren Division, but it's good enough that we can keep you and me alive. Don't you see that I, a commander, have to do this hard job?"
"If you hadn't dragged me into this, would I have ruined other people's mission?!" Shen Bu glared at Hu Mang.
"Are you blaming me?" Hu Mang immediately glanced at Shen Bu.
Shen Bu's expression froze, and he couldn't help shrinking his neck: "I...I can't just complain."
"If you're not thinking about that much time, you might as well think about how to complete the task." Hu Mang snorted coldly.
"If you have the guts, go and attack those people from the Secret Service." Shen Bu muttered to himself.
"Alas... every fifty miles, we have to pour a jar of immortality wine. Every fifty miles, we have to take a risk."
"It's okay if we run into a night-roaming monster like today, but if we run into a ferocious monster, we'll both be finished."
"If you ask me, I don't care whether it's fifty miles or not. I'll just use the secret method of shrinking the earth to throw away the immortality wine. Anyway, no one is nearby to supervise."
Upon hearing this, Hu Mang glared at Shen Bu fiercely and said, "Shut up! How dare you say such irresponsible words? Aren't you afraid that the inspector of the Secret Service will chop off your head?"
He said solemnly: "Remember to throw it farther."
Ok?
Shen Bu was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed and jumped up.
"Just wait and see!"
He immediately opened the food bag on his waist and took out the wine jars. Soon, fifty or sixty wine jars as big as human heads piled up into a small mountain in front of him.
The Yin Spirit's divine power urged a gray air current to appear, swirling around the wine jar. Then, with a whoosh, the mountain of wine jars disappeared.
"Now that we're done, Boss Hu, let's... go back to the city?"
Hu Mang said calmly, "No, let's just stay outside the city for two days."
"We can't let the Secret Service Inspector find out the flaws."
……
Three days later, somewhere in a valley.
A series of roars echoed in the valley, deafening.
Chen Mu was floating in the air in the middle of the valley, with the black five-dragon aura swirling around him.
Not far away, a one-legged strange bird with seven heads and covered in flames was struggling in the black smoke.
However, the black smoke transformed by the five dragons' Qi was like a net that tightly bound the strange bird and monster inside. When its own power of gathering essence and capturing souls was activated, the monster kept shrinking like a deflated ball and was soon eaten up.
"The Nine Cups Mathematical Sutra is performing as steadily as ever."
"Hmm...stable is unreliable."
"Tsk!"
I changed the calculation conditions before and adjusted the travel time every day, and as expected, I didn’t encounter any strange monsters on the road.
But after just two days of happiness, he made another mistake. Halfway through the journey today, he ran headfirst into the arms of this strange monster.
Fortunately, this strange monster was not very strong. It was covered in flames and no grass grew wherever it passed. In fact, it was similar to the three-headed fox and was easily subdued by the combined power of the five dragons.
"They say there are many strange monsters in the wilderness, but I run into them every other day. Isn't that a bit too much?"
"Is it because there are means of expelling them in the large cities that they are gathered in the wilderness?"
"It seems that in the calculation process, it is not enough to just add the travel time. We must also explicitly add the requirement of avoiding the strange monster."
"Well...I have to shorten my daily schedule."
According to the original experiment in Heifengao, the smaller the range, the more accurate the calculation results will be. Shortening the journey can effectively improve accuracy.
Although the Wulongjing acceleration package is good, it does involve risks and you should not be greedy.
He didn't believe that his luck would always be so good, as the monsters he encountered were all small monsters. If he ran into a powerful monster, he wouldn't be able to escape.
"Go slower, but ensure your own safety first."
……
Five days later, in an unnamed cave four hundred miles outside Feng'an City.
"Boss, you have to help me!" Zhang Erzheng complained loudly.
"Help you? I have to sprinkle the elixir of immortality myself, how can I help you?" Hu Mang refused with a straight face.
Zhang Er leaned closer and whispered, "I've researched it. The Secret Service did something to the wine jar. They'll know once they open the jar."
"I guess they rely on this to monitor our mission. But they have no way of knowing where and how we throw it."
"Brother Shen has extraordinary magical powers. If we just ask him to throw the wine jar far away... Oh!" Zhang Er clapped his hands and smiled.
"You are being sneaky and it will cause big trouble!" Hu Mang snorted coldly.
"Just tell me whether you want to help or not!" Zhang Er said with his neck stiff.
"You have been hiding in this cave for three days. Shen Bu must have thrown away the immortality wine in your hand."
"If you don't help me, I will...I will report it!"
Hu Mang's face suddenly turned dark.
