Chapter 216 Rain Falls, Corpse Dragon Approaches
Chapter 216 Rain Falls, Corpse Dragon Approaches
"Brother Chu, which family do you come from?" Zhong Ting couldn't help but ask on the way.
Chu Danqing gave him a strange feeling. If he was completely ignorant, how could he have so many trump cards up his sleeve?
But if you ask about feng shui or other mystical matters, the other person only knows a little bit about them.
The actual strength shown is completely different from what was displayed.
This puzzled Zhong Ting greatly.
The main problem is that this is so illogical; it's like seeing a house without a foundation, yet the house is very sturdy.
"Just some wild and unorthodox teachings," Chu Danqing replied casually.
He wasn't wrong; he was indeed from a wild, unorthodox lineage and didn't have a complete lineage of teachers.
“Brother Chu, that’s not a funny joke.” Zhong Ting naturally didn’t believe it: “If you’ve become a charlatan, then what am I?”
The Mysterious Maiden's Ganoderma might not amount to much in the vast ancient mountains, but it's not something he can underestimate.
Even without all those ferocious creatures, Zhong Ting couldn't kill the Mysterious Maiden Fungus if he wanted to. The best outcome would be to use his own life to temporarily seal the Mysterious Maiden Fungus as a delaying tactic.
However, Chu Danqing easily killed them all.
This level of skill could not possibly be some kind of so-called "wild fox Zen".
"You? Of course you're the successor of Kui Xing Kicking the Dipper, what else could you be?" Chu Danqing said helplessly, no one believed him even when he told the truth.
Seeing Chu Danqing's attitude, Zhong Ting gave up the idea of asking further. It was clear that she wasn't going to talk about it, so there was no point in asking any more questions.
He suspected that Chu Danqing might be a successor of some relatively secretive school of martial arts, someone little known but constantly growing in secret.
Especially in these chaotic times, as long as you can seize the opportunity, it is not impossible to soar to great heights.
The two returned to Huanglong Village in silence. When the villagers saw the rescued villagers, their faces lit up with joy.

At the same time, Chu Danqing's task was also completed.
However, someone is going to be unlucky.
The fact that the village chief sold the location of the princess's tomb to thugs and tomb raiders was quickly exposed.
Upon learning of this incident, the villagers immediately attacked and killed the village chief and his entire family.
Chu Danqing did not stop him. He had caused trouble because of his own greed, and since there were no amusement park missions, why should he clean up the mess for the other party?
Not to mention that the other party shows absolutely no remorse, which makes them even less of a help.
“My benefactor, we are planning to move.” A newly elected village chief approached Chu Danqing and said somewhat awkwardly.
"That's good news. Where are you planning to move to?" Chu Danqing asked.
“We would like to ask our benefactor for some guidance.” The new village chief continued, “You must be a big shot outside. Even a little bit of your generosity would be enough for us mountain folk to live on for a lifetime.”
Good heavens, this is a misunderstanding of Chu Danqing.
“I can’t give you any advice. I know nothing about what’s going on outside. You should ask this man instead.” Chu Danqing pointed to Zhong Ting.
Upon hearing this, Zhong Ting said helplessly, "I'm just a private tutor, so I can't really offer any proper arrangements."
"I think you should find another place on the outskirts of the Cangmang Ancient Ridge."
"It's chaotic outside right now; it's not as safe as inside the Cangmang Ancient Ridge," Zhong Ting said, and he was telling the truth.
It was only because of their village chief's greed that the village had stood there for decades.
The reason nothing happened before was because no one was greedy.
"This...this..." The new village chief knew some of the situation outside. His original idea was to lead the entire village to seek refuge with the 'big shot' Chu Danqing.
They don't ask for much; they don't expect wealth or luxury, just enough to have enough to eat.
However, this is quite a nice thing to do in the outside world, since having enough to eat was a luxury in times of war and chaos.
"I can't help you anymore." Chu Danqing said, indicating his helplessness. Then he added, "I went into the Cangmang Ancient Ridge this time to find the tomb of Prince Yuanping and retrieve something from it to save my life."
"This tomb is at the bottom of the Huanglong River, but the Huanglong River is vast, so it is not so easy to find."
"So I thought I'd ask you all," Chu Danqing said frankly, though he vaguely revealed his true intentions.
Upon hearing this, the new village chief's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
I thought you were a kind person, but I didn't expect you to be one of them.
However, since Chu Danqing had saved their lives, he couldn't say anything.
As for Chu Danqing retrieving something to save his life? What does that have to do with them? They haven't even taken care of themselves yet.
"I'm afraid we can't help you with this, Brother Chu," the new village chief said with difficulty. "As you can see, we really have the will but not the means to relocate."
Chu Danqing felt uncomfortable upon hearing this.
He didn't even ask for your help, he just asked, and yet you refused so bluntly.
Even Zhong Ting's expression turned somewhat unpleasant; this was tantamount to using people only when needed and discarding them when not.
"Okay, I understand." Chu Danqing replied indifferently, then said to Zhong Ting, "Then let's go find it ourselves."
Zhong Ting nodded in agreement and then left with them.
"A bunch of greedy fools who forget morality." Zhong Ting turned around and glanced back, only to find that the villagers of Huanglong Village were still slowly packing up.
They clearly believed the crisis was over, and even if they were to relocate, they would take all their belongings with them.
Unlike the previous village, where people fled overnight even after the crisis was over.
"Based on your estimation, when will the Corpse Dragon arrive? Will that help us in our search for the Tomb of King Yuanping?" Chu Danqing asked. As for reminding the villagers of Huanglong Village? Chu Danqing had no such obligation.
I can understand why they chose not to help because they were afraid after I saved them, but it's really frustrating that they wouldn't even explain the situation.
Chu Danqing naturally had her own emotions.
Furthermore, they knew about the rising water level in the Huanglong River, but they didn't take it seriously. Who can they blame when something goes wrong?
He's not some pushover who repays evil with kindness.
"To be honest, it won't help at all, and it will only make our search more difficult," Zhong Ting said.
The ancient texts that tell the story of Kui Xing kicking the Dipper do record that Yuanping Wang was buried at the bottom of the Huanglong River and provide some explanations, but that is all.
If there are indeed detailed records, it can only mean that the tomb has already been visited.
Chu Danqing's trip here was all for naught.
"How confident are you?" Chu Danqing continued to ask.
This matter can only be handled by professionals. Chu Danqing's knowledge of feng shui is not only superficial, but also merely crammed knowledge.
Therefore, the only thing he could rely on was the bell tower.
Although Zhong Ting valued his life and wanted to protect himself, he was a man of his word.
Even though she had the opportunity to escape with the centipede pearl, she didn't do it. Instead, she came to find Chu Danqing as soon as the battle ended.
"About 70%, provided we don't encounter a dragon." Just as Zhong Ting finished speaking, a drop of rain fell from the sky.
This caused his expression to change slightly.
"It's raining. Does that mean the Corpse Dragon is approaching?" Chu Danqing didn't understand the feng shui of the underworld in this world, but he could see the change in Zhong Ting's expression.
"It's just a light rain, it should just be a coincidence." Zhong Ting wasn't really sure when he said this.
There are hardly any coincidences in this world.
"Let's find a high place to observe," Chu Danqing said, and quickly chose a high-lying area.
Zhong Ting nodded and followed, his mind racing with thoughts of how to stop the Corpse Dragon.
If it were just a simple corpse dragon, he felt that Chu Danqing had a very good chance of winning.
But if it were a corpse dragon that was walking, Zhong Ting wouldn't see any chance of winning.
At this time, the Corpse Dragon was not only a ferocious creature, but also benefited from the torrential rain and floods formed by favorable weather conditions.
To confront it is tantamount to going against the great forces of heaven and earth; how can human power possibly be a match for it?
Therefore, the best approach is to ignore the fleeing dragon and wait for it to leave. After that, not only will the rain stop, but the water level will also drop.
Furthermore, because the corpse dragon's accumulated power would draw away more water, it would actually make finding the tomb of King Yuanping easier.
On the way, he shared his analysis with Chu Danqing, basically saying that we should find a quiet place for a couple of days before discussing anything further.
As for the possibility that Huanglong Village might be destroyed as a result, neither of them mentioned it.
If you can ignore the kindness of saving someone's life, saving them again would only be asking for trouble.
Why bother?
Chu Danqing respected their vigilance, and at the same time, respected their choices.
Just like Wei Chuyi, even though I made arrangements for him, he was unwilling and wanted to do things his own way.
Chu Danqing wouldn't force him; he would simply let him take responsibility for what he was supposed to.
"What if I just kill the Corpse Dragon directly?" Chu Danqing muttered.
Can the materials on the Corpse Dragon be considered dragon-related materials?
If it were a dragon from another trial world, it would most likely be counted.
But the dragons in this trial world, if they really need to be classified, should be human corpses.
"Huh?" Zhong Ting felt a little short of breath when he heard Chu Danqing's words.
He already said that they had the advantage of timing and location, which was something that human effort couldn't overcome.
So you didn't listen to a single word?
“Even if you win, the rising water level in this area will make it even more difficult to find the tomb of Prince Yuanping,” Zhong Ting said helplessly.
Chu Danqing looked at the raindrops, which had turned from a drizzle into raindrops, and after catching a handful, said, "I don't think so."
Side Quest: Stop the Dragon Transformation Process within 24 Hours
[Trial Difficulty: A-Level (Heroic)]
[Trial Reward: Paradise Points x 10000, Attribute Points +4]
[Trial Failed: Paradise Points -20000, Random Attribute -1]
As the rain intensified, Chu Danqing activated the corresponding side quest, which was rated A.
This is good news for him.
Side quests mean they are related to trial missions.
Just like the side quest that helped Zhong Ting kill the Corpse Centipede, which gave Chu Danqing a guide who was skilled in feng shui and was a successor of the Kui Xing Kick Fighting Technique.
He obtained a lot of information about this trial world from the other party and it also helped him find the tomb of King Yuanping, thus assisting in the trial mission.
Hidden quests, on the other hand, focus more on world-building, subplots, and rewards, offering limited help to the trial quests.
