Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 445 Five Ghosts Strangely Appear, A Pearl Enters One's Arms

"Madam, how could these five ghosts have changed so much?" Bi Qing'er struggled with her twin swords.

She had only dealt with one of the five ghosts; Bai Zhenniang was responsible for the remaining four.

Bai Zhenniang secretly groaned in her heart.

First, the treasury silver that the Five Ghosts had previously stolen was discovered, which led to Xu Jingnian's arrest.

Now, the Five Ghosts have suddenly undergone strange changes for some reason, making it impossible for her to spare any effort to rescue Xu Jingnian.

With a sweep of his longsword, he sent the four ghosts flying several steps away. He had no time to answer Bi Qing'er's question, but instead used his Yin-Yang divination technique.

A look of joy appeared on his face.

“My brother-in-law has come to rescue us, let’s go first.” Bai Zhenniang immediately said, “Let’s go to Xuyang Town and wait for my husband.”

She had previously attributed the origin of a piece of furniture to Chu Danqing, and Xu Jingnian must have revealed it in court.

Back then, this would have been considered maintenance.

But then these things happened in court, namely, false accusations.

Bai Zhenniang had no face to see Chu Danqing, so she could only leave first.

As for the Five Ghosts, there's no need to worry; Chu Danqing can handle them.

Hearing this, Bi Qing'er breathed a sigh of relief.

These five ghosts weren't particularly powerful, but they were exceptionally cunning.

An eight-hundred-year-old demon and a thousand-year-old demon, even working together, couldn't defeat these mere Five Ghosts.

In the past, these five ghosts would have been nothing more than servants running errands for them.

Forget about resisting, even a glare from them would make them tremble with fear.

Now that someone had come to the rescue, Bi Qing'er immediately set up a cloud and escaped with Bai Zhenniang, who had already left.

As for the furniture here, it wasn't very valuable to begin with; only the silver in those three chests was worth anything.

However, it cannot be taken; it must remain in place for Xu Jingnian to use as a means to mitigate his punishment.

When Chu Danqing arrived, she saw the two clouds fly away as if fleeing.

"If you can't give me a satisfactory explanation when we meet again, it will be the end for both of you." Chu Danqing finally understood why monsters were a scourge.

If you're going to repay a debt of gratitude, then repay it properly. Why do you have to do all this messy stuff? Now look what's happened, all this trouble has been caused.

As soon as he finished speaking, the five ferocious ghosts—white, blue, black, red, and yellow—rushed out of the ancestral hall.

They spotted Da Bao immediately and attacked him without hesitation.

Do they still remember how Da Bao scared them last night?

Side Quest: Slay the Five Demons within 1 hour

[Trial Difficulty: A (Hero)]

[Trial Reward: Paradise Points x 10000, Attribute Points +4]

[Trial Failed: Paradise Points -20000, Random Attribute -1]

"The Five Directions of Ghosts and Gods?" Chu Danqing was slightly surprised when he saw the name.

The Five Ghosts have become so powerful; this is truly extraordinary.

Da Bao, however, was not afraid at all. Instead, he went forward, displaying a combination of rage, fearlessness, and tearing claws, single-handedly blocking the five demons and gods.

Seeing this, Chu Danqing took the opportunity to activate the Star Vortex Imprint on the Eternal Star Ring and simultaneously unleashed the Misty Lake technique.

In an instant, his mana decreased, but not by as much as 80%, since Chu Danqing still had many talents and skills that reduced the cost of summoning skills.

But the reduction wasn't much.

With the appearance of Yanbo Lake, a lake with a radius of 4 kilometers was created around him.

Thousands of mermaids were summoned simultaneously, and a daffodil appeared on Da Bao's body as a companion.

The Yin-Yang Pool expanded instantly, and at the same time, Chu Danqing felt his health and mana recovery efficiency swell to four-digit percentages.

The six skills of the Six Sacrifices have undergone a qualitative leap.

"Holy crap!" Chu Danqing now truly understood what it meant to be able to kill someone.

However, there is a drawback: these merfolk lack shields.

Chu Danqing's defensive formation did not specifically target merfolk, so these merfolk did not have any shields on them.
At the same time, the Nine Heavens Jade Pivot Guard also emerged from the Jade Ruyi, stepping onto the surface of the Misty Wave Lake, with lightning spreading along the water.

With the help of the companion summon, Misty Narcissus, they charged towards the Five Directions Demons, riding on lightning.

Not only the Nine Heavens Jade Pivot Guard, but also the Yazi, Pulao, Bian, and Chiwen from the nine dragon souls on Chu Danqing's body, were simultaneously activated.

The Yazi, Bian, and Chiwen inflicted true damage, negative status effects, and buffs on the five demons.

All three effects occur every second, at least twice, with the Chiwen's buff absorption occurring four times per second.

However, apart from Ya Zi's true damage, which has a 100% success rate in dealing damage, the other two depend on the opponent's attributes. If the attributes fail the judgment, there will be no gain.

Although Yazi can successfully inflict damage every time, the damage is simply too low.

On the contrary, Pulao is the real powerhouse. Although the original 130% all-attribute bonus has been changed to (spirit × rank), resulting in only an 84% bonus, the effect is still a real numerical enhancement.

Upon seeing this display of power, the five ghosts' expressions changed, and they tried to flee.

But it was too late.

Do you really think Da Bao is a vegetarian?

He alone could not kill the five ghosts and gods in a short time, but for them to think they could escape from Da Bao's clutches was a gross underestimation of him.

Under the sharp claws, the five ghosts' teleportation technique shattered on the spot.

The crimson power of bloodlust left five bloody marks on each of the five ghosts.

In that brief delay, the Nine Heavens Jade Pivot Guards had already arrived. Chu Danqing immediately summoned Da Bao back as a protector, and the Nine Heavens Jade Pivot Guards' group charge directly rammed into the Five Ghosts.

As for not having enough mana? With such a huge amount of health and mana regeneration efficiency, how could it possibly be insufficient?

The thunder, carrying its momentum, sent the five ghosts flying on the spot.

Before they even landed, Da Bao attacked again.

The Starry Sky Eternal Ring guarantees a critical hit after teleportation or blink.

The Guardian skill is a type of teleportation skill. Even though its main function is to have summoned creatures protect the apostles, it is still a form of teleportation.

The massive damage erupted directly from the Five Ghosts, killing them instantly.

An exceptional treasure chest with shimmering patterns emerged from the corpse of the Five Ghosts.

As for the corpse, it began to disintegrate while in mid-air and eventually disappeared without a trace.

[Mission Completed, You Gain: Paradise Points x 10000, Attribute Points +4]

Upon seeing this, Chu Danqing also cancelled the trip to Yanbo Lake.

From summoning the Misty Lake to the kill, the entire process took less than ten seconds.

The merfolk had just surfaced from the lake bottom and hadn't even had a chance to help in the battle when it ended.

Compared to other summoned creatures, merfolk are only numerous, but their attributes, talents, and skills are generally average.

Perhaps because Chu Danqing prefers an elite-based strategy, he wasn't entirely satisfied with the summoned creatures of the legion-based strategy.

After the battle, the Nine Heavens Jade Pivot Guards returned to the Jade Ruyi.

Da Bao returned with a treasure chest.

"Xiao Chu, I found this." After handing the treasure chest to Chu Danqing, Da Bao handed a bright pearl to Chu Danqing.

"Well done, that's exactly the item I needed for the mission." Chu Danqing praised, becoming even more certain that Da Bao had the ability to automatically pick up items with different qualities.

Could it be that because the bloodline has gradually thickened, it has stolen the cave god's luck or fortune?

From the beginning, Chu Danqing had a strange feeling, such as that Da Bao's luck might be higher than that of ordinary people.

Just like the White Dragon Fish Roar lance he sold back then, he only had Da Bao watch the stall for a while before someone came to buy it.

And they didn't leave because of Da Bao's terrible language skills; they actually waited until Chu Danqing came back to sell.

Then Chu Danqing's gaze fell on the pearl.

【Tianhe Pearl】

[Type: Quest Item]

[Quality: Brilliant~ ???]

[Effect: To calm the obsessions of the Jade Dragon and the Golden Phoenix]

(Note: If the trial mission fails, it will be transformed into a Brilliant-grade growth equipment.)

Upon seeing the effect, Chu Danqing immediately understood the cause and effect.

This quest item is indeed extraordinary, but unfortunately it's highly tied to the trial quest.

Chu Danqing wanted to give up the trial mission, but a single piece of brilliant-grade equipment was not worth giving up.

It's reasonable to say the task difficulty is rated A-level; it's too easy.

For Chu Danqing now, S-level and below are no challenge at all. He doesn't even need to call his allies; Da Bao and the others can handle it all.

After getting the items, he didn't rush to Hidden Pearl Lake to complete the mission. Instead, he went to the ancestral hall and found the three boxes.

Upon opening it, all the silver inside, except for the two large ingots that Bai Zhenniang had given to Xu Jingnian, was there; not a single ingot was missing.

Chu Danqing guessed that the other party knew that taking it would put Xu Jingnian in jail, which was why they didn't take it.

Otherwise, if the other party wants to take it away, they still have time.

"I wonder if I can learn a way to ride the clouds." Chu Danqing muttered to himself. His memories of his identity did include Qi Refining, but it didn't quite match his magical power.

I'll see if I can figure one out when I have some free time.

The main problem is that he simply doesn't have any free time.

"Da Bao, you carry two boxes, I'll carry one, let's go back." Chu Danqing said, and then carried one box of silver first.

Da Bao followed behind Chu Danqing, carrying a box on each side.

Chu Danqing, on the other hand, was thinking about how to obtain Da Bai's bloodline.

It doesn't matter that Bai Zhenniang and Bi Qing'er ran away; they will definitely come back.

Unless Bai Zhenniang doesn't want to become an immortal, she must repay her debt of gratitude.

However, Chu Danqing could also see that Bai Zhenniang had truly been cultivating diligently for the past thousand years.

They may not understand social etiquette, but they're not very bright either; they're like oversized giant babies.

They are temperamental, self-centered, and even very sensitive.

If such a person had no power, she would at most harm herself, but she has a thousand years of cultivation.

Chu Danqing also understood why she was sent to repay a debt of gratitude, to experience the trials of the mortal world and wear down all of that, so that she could become a mature immortal.

Unlike the protagonists who undergo trials in the mortal world, these protagonists go out to show off their divine abilities and engage in romance before others. Once they've had enough, they can directly comprehend the truth.

Bai Zhenniang was brought here to be brutally beaten, until all her temper was gone.

But this brought bad luck to those around her, especially Xu Jingnian, the person she was trying to repay.

Chu Danqing felt that his hard times might still be ahead.
