Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 355 Retreat? Not even a little bit!
"Mr. Chu, you can't lead the Taiyi Sect."

“My suggestion is to abandon them directly,” Xiong Zhigang said solemnly.

Chu Danqing spent 1640 amusement park points to call everyone over to discuss the matter.

After learning about the situation, Xiong Zhigang immediately told Chu Danqing to leave the Taiyi Sect alone.

The combination of demons and sorcerers reminded Kumashima of the second-place mechanic in the last arena match.

The overwhelming firepower reduced the military force and the army to ruins.

The demon army of the Chongde era could potentially repeat this scene.

To die in the arena is nothing but an illusion.

This time, it's in the Trial World.

Chu Danqing smiled and said, "I am the one who started the Taiyi Sect, and I cannot simply walk away."

"Furthermore, if we leave, the mission will definitely fail."

The Taiyi Heavenly King's Demon-Slaying Sword, required for the trial mission, has not yet been forged, and the Taiyi Heavenly King is bound to the Taiyi Sect.

This departure will not only force them to return, but will also deduct 10 attribute points and all gains from this event.

From the amusement park to the equipment, it's not just going back to square one overnight, it's going straight into being heavily in debt.

High difficulty, high reward.

As he spoke, Chu Danqing showed everyone present his Paradise Point.

180,000 points – that's the current return, and it will definitely continue to grow.

The three of them fell silent after seeing this.

"If all else fails, then we'll summon the Cat Goddess." Guo Ming knew that this time, there was absolutely no turning back.

Such a large sum of money is enough to make them work themselves to the bone.

“It’s not time yet,” Yang Qianyuan interjected. “Demons and evil spirits are probably just appetizers. We can’t summon them even if we fight to the death right now.”

Have you all forgotten Emperor Chongde?

"This is the real terror; demons and sorcerers are nothing more than two dogs under his command."

"Besides, we haven't reached a dead end yet."

“Hong Xuanjiao chose a very good location,” Yang Qianyuan said, pointing to the river on the map.

Water is essential for farming.

Even with the help of a celestial artifact to accelerate the process, there's no way to conjure water out of thin air.

Therefore, it must be built along the river.

“This river is a 110% gain. I just need to use it as a pass to defend, and then Brother Guo can carry out the decapitation operation.”

"There's still a chance of winning," Yang Qianyuan said.

However, Kumashigeka said, "That's true, but we can't withstand heavy firepower."

"Brother Guo is all alone."

The real challenge lies in the enemy's overwhelming offensive.

"Actually, it's not difficult to withstand it," Chu Danqing said. "I'll cast shields on all of you, and then I'll stack more shields on top of that."

"Your recovery isn't keeping up, is it?" Guo Ming glanced at him sideways.

“I can catch up in a short time,” Chu Danqing said. “I use my magic to help Da Bai, Da Bai replenishes my blood, and Da Hua draws blood to provide a shield.”

"Theoretically speaking, I can handle it."

"Then, as long as your attack speed is fast enough, you can trigger the elemental charge of the Elemental Psionic Gloves."

"Even if it only restores 1 point of mana at a time, the probability of one in ten is not low, especially when combined with the Elf Princess Ring, Storm Elf's Joy, and Agility attribute passive, Psionic Sword Dance. In theory, completing the cycle should not be a problem."

Chu Danqing can use his mana to heal Da Bai, and as long as Da Bai can heal, Da Hua can continuously drain his life points to provide a shield, and then spread the shield out through the array's defense.

It must be said that the array-based collaborative defense active skill is truly a divine skill.

When Chu Danqing gets back this time, he will ask the broker to find out if this is a series of skills.

If so, then buy them all.

"It can't be that simple." As the strongest and most influential person present, Guo Ming immediately sensed the problem.

"There will be some aftereffects. After all, life points can be seen as a person's vitality. Draws like this will inevitably damage one's vital energy." Chu Danqing spoke frankly, "But it's okay, Da Hua can nurture it."

"At most, it will just be weakness, there won't be any major problems."

"At this point, let's not worry about these things."

Since Chu Danqing had already said that, the people present couldn't say anything more.

"Then it all depends on you, Qian Yuan. Afterwards, I will take a longevity pill personally refined by our ancestor from home and give it to you as compensation." Guo Ming looked at Yang Qian Yuan.

Everyone is fighting hard, but to win, the only way is for Yang Qianyuan, a member of the Heavenly Secrets faction, to find a way to win.

"Don't worry, Brother Guo, leave this to me," Yang Qianyuan immediately agreed.

Whether Guo Ming gave him the Longevity Pill or not, he had to do it.

“Brother Chu, things have come to this point, there’s no need to waste any more words. You can get ready.” Yang Qianyuan spoke before Chu Danqing.

He knew what Chu Danqing was going to say; they were all so familiar with each other.

Chu Danqing understands him, and he naturally understands Chu Danqing as well.

"I'll have my men build some fortifications," Xiong Zhigang said, before leading his troops away.

Guo Ming then closed his eyes to rest.

He was going to carry out a decapitation strike, which was the most dangerous operation.

There was nothing Chu Danqing could do to help.

As for asking Heavenly Brother Taiyi Saint Son for help? Forget about that.

It's not that I'm unwilling, but the other party is also seriously injured.

His disheveled appearance before was the best he could maintain, so as not to frighten the people of Taiyi.

However, after returning home, he fell into a coma and suffered multiple injuries.

In other words, Taiyi Tianwang is not human. With his remaining breath, he has to heal himself and his holy son, so he is really too busy to handle it all.

So even if they wanted to go to the battlefield, they couldn't.

Fortunately, there was some good news: the demons and beasts that could produce the Evil Sun Bullet were all killed.

It's like replacing one of the opponent's trump cards.

About half an hour later, Hong Xuanjiao led most of the celestial craftsmen and common people.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, I've brought people to help," Hong Xuanjiao said. "The farming is finished for today; we can leave some people to maintain the rest."

"The rest of you can fight." Hong Xuanjiao didn't bring any food before because they needed it; without food, everyone would die.

Having food is essential for waging a protracted war.

“Alright, follow Commander Xiong’s instructions. It’s that person.” Chu Danqing pointed to the person in front of Hong Xuanjiao.

The other side went there with their men.

With the addition of personnel, the construction of Kumashibako's defenses progressed much faster.

It's safe to say that he truly deserves the title of a military leader; all his talents and skills are dedicated to fighting.

It also naturally has the ability to enhance the construction of war projects.

"It's confirmed. The demon army will arrive in a quarter of an hour at most." Yang Qianyuan wiped the blood from his nose and refused the medicine offered by Chu Danqing.

"So fast?!" Although it was unexpected, Chu Danqing was surprised that they could arrive in half an hour, which meant the project was definitely not on time.

“The enemy was very cautious and showed no sign of underestimating us; they marched quickly to launch a surprise attack,” Yang Qianyuan said.

Chu Danqing originally thought she would be shocked, but the enemies she encountered were more and more cautious than the last, and she seemed to have gotten used to it.

If someone without a brain were to come along, he would feel uncomfortable.

"Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit." Chu Danqing sighed. "No wonder the Chongde Dynasty was able to sweep away the great powers in such a short time; it deserved it."

This was the most troublesome force he had ever encountered.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and dense shadows appeared on the distant horizon and skyline.

The demon army has arrived.

Guo Ming suddenly opened his eyes, feeling the chilling killing intent.

As the demon army drew closer, everyone could feel the ground trembling slightly.

Then they saw the long-range artillery barrage from the demon army washing over the ground.

"Raise your shield!" With a roar from Kumashigaoka, the massive figure of the Military Force Master appeared.

Six arms holding shields extended continuously, forming a Great Wall that blocked all the ranged attacks of the demon army.

"Something's wrong, damn it?!" Chu Danqing noticed that his shield value was plummeting.

Then Da Bai replenishes blood, and Da Hua draws blood.

So, Kumashigeoka was using the shield he gave them as a protective layer.

The protection was successful, but Chu Danqing was truly distressed.

"Luckily, my defense and shield strength are high, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to withstand the first round." Chu Danqing looked at the Great Wall that had been bombarded and was still in shock.

However, he also realized that Xiong Zhigang's move not only used Chu Danqing's shield, but also added a series of abilities derived from the Immovable Mountain professional talent.

After the first round of firepower, the demon army had already arrived.

Fortunately, with the support of the military forces and the commanders of the army, the defensive military works have gained tremendous defensive capabilities.

That's how they managed to stop the first wave of attacks.

Guo Ming simply watched this scene quietly; he did not move.

He was waiting for Yang Qianyuan's divination results.

Although his addition would indeed give them an advantage in the battle, this advantage is nothing compared to the endless demon army.

"Pfft~" Yang Qianyuan spat out a mouthful of blood, his expression becoming listless: "Found it."

"The location is here," Yang Qianyuan immediately reported, but then added, "Let's take a detour to the south first, and we'll see what we're doing when we see it."

As soon as Yang Qianyuan finished speaking, a huge tentacle emerged from the ground. Without any regard for whether it would harm the demons, it lashed out directly at the defensive military structure.

The entire military project shook, but it blocked the view.

“That’s it. If we don’t kill it, Xiong Jinglue will collapse in half an hour at most,” Yang Qianyuan said softly.

"Okay." Guo Ming's gaze fell on the source of the tentacles, which looked like some kind of giant sea octopus demon, slowly pulling out a second tentacle from the ground.

However, before the second tentacle could land, it was severed by Guo Ming's sword.

The enormous tentacles fell from the sky, crushing countless demons to death.

"Bring Da Gu along!" Yang Qianyuan hurriedly said after seeing Guo Ming make his move. "Brother Chu, have Da Gu start chanting 'Sorrowful Return Wind' and gather his strength now."

"Otherwise, with Brother Guo's attack power, it would not be enough to kill this demon."

Without any hesitation, Chu Danqing threw the large bone to Guo Ming and activated all his active buffs while frantically drinking mana recovery potions.

Guo Ming reached out and took it, then tied it to his chest with the golden rope, saying, "Good!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he rode ten flying swords and charged towards the enormous demon.

"What are your chances of success?" Chu Danqing asked after finishing the task.

“Not even a fraction, but I have deduced a chance of victory,” Yang Qianyuan said. “As long as Brother Guo can successfully eliminate this demon and the leader of the demonic path.”

"We can hold out for an hour, and then there will be hope of rescue from the south."

"As for what kind of opportunity it is, I don't know." Yang Qianyuan paused for a moment and then said, "It might be someone like you, Brother Chu."

Upon hearing this, Chu Danqing realized that if there really was something capable of utterly defeating the demon army, it must be an apostle.

For example, the top three we encountered before.

Any one of the three brothers would have a better solution than Chu Danqing.

One is capable of piloting a powerful, bone-demon-like figure in a fantasy Gundam-style game, while the other is simply a pay-to-win research mechanic.

The last one goes without saying; he was not only a historical military commander, but he also had a Kui ox with him.

Their loss to Chu Danqing was purely due to Guo Ming and Xiong Zhigang risking their lives to self-destruct.

This kind of winning only happens in the arena; in reality, Chu Danqing would definitely lose.

Chu Danqing would definitely not let Guo Ming and Xiong Zhigang die; even if the mission failed, he would protect them.

Therefore, in terms of overall strength, his victory was not honorable.

"We're on the same side, hopefully not troublemakers," Chu Danqing muttered.

Most apostles rarely sabotage each other when there is no conflict of interest.

Especially those apostles who are capable of undergoing S-rank assessments cannot be too muddled.

Moreover, according to Yang Qianyuan, they came to help, which means that the opposing target of both sides is most likely the Chongde Dynasty.

Otherwise, would Paradise be so foolish as to let Chu Danqing overthrow the Chongde Dynasty?

Just like in the last ranking test, the ultimate goal of all the apostles was the Holy Mother Empress Dowager.

However, their different trial missions lead to different development paths.
