Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 552 Luring the Tiger Away from the Mountain, Blood Moon Shatters into Rain
The blood moon shattered.

A beam of Buddhist light suddenly rose from the ground, precisely shattering the blood moon.

The strange figure attacking the safe zone froze upon seeing this.

Luring the tiger away from the mountain
These four words came to mind.

From the very beginning, even the enemies he had severely injured were putting on an act, all to make him believe that he had successfully completed the task assigned by the Emperor.

With the shattering of the blood moon, his own power diminished by 50%, and the other monsters, evil creatures, and even cultivators all lost at least 30% of their power.

At that moment, he knew he was doomed.

With such a huge blunder, he will next face the Emperor's wrath, including being skinned alive and having his soul burned.

Death was certain, but the torment he endured before his death terrified him.

Rather than suffer a torturous death, it's better to surrender!

He didn't want to die, nor did he want to be eaten by the Emperor, so the best way was to surrender to this group of extraterrestrial demons.

Just then, the martial monk yogi's fist came crashing down on his face.

The opening he had created due to the shattering of the Blood Moon was precisely seized upon by the martial monk yogi.

The strange figure had no time to defend itself; when the punch landed, its entire head exploded.

They were able to suppress the monks and yogis before because of the Blood Moon, but now that the Blood Moon is gone, they are no match for them.

Fortunately, the strange figure did not die from the punch.

He immediately knelt down.

Upon seeing this, the martial monk and yogi quickly distanced themselves, thinking that the other party was about to use some deadly move.

Otherwise, what normal person would suddenly kneel down in the middle of a fight?

The strange figure's head grew back and it decisively said, "I surrender!"

The three words were spoken with such force and conviction that they left the martial monks and yogis completely bewildered.

"Why?" The martial monk yogi composed himself, looking at the strange figure with a solemn expression.

He didn't believe that a vicious and insane person would suddenly surrender.

The Blood Moon has shattered, and the opponent's strength has indeed declined.

But that doesn't mean we can just surrender.

However, this was the result of the monks and yogis using their own ideas to interpret the strange figure.

He knew something about this world, but not much.

After all, he was immediately engaged in battle upon emerging from seclusion, unlike the Wheel-Turning Saint King who conducted a subsequent in-depth investigation and understanding of this world.

"If I fail in my duties, the Emperor will devour me. I don't want to die." Without the slightest hesitation, the strange figure revealed his true thoughts.

This silenced the martial monk yogi; the other's words made him realize that the situation in this world was beyond his expectations.

However, he was not so easily convinced and said, "Surrender is possible, but a pledge of loyalty is required."

“If you kill these demons, I will take you to see the Buddha.”

He was testing whether the strange shadow was sincere.

Even if it wasn't sincere, in his mind, destroying these strange beasts and evil creatures was still a betrayal.

Even if we don't surrender by then, we won't be able to go back.

But in the eyes of the strange shadow, this was no big deal at all.

With a flick of its long tongue and a gaping maw, it swallowed one monstrous beast after another into its belly as if autumn wind were sweeping away fallen leaves.

It took three hours to finish eating it all.

The strange figure became bloated from eating.

"Please introduce me," the strange figure said after swallowing the last evil beast with difficulty.

The martial monk yogi had no intention of going back on his word and said, "Come with me, and I will explain your situation to the Buddha."

This kind of ruthless person truly shocked the martial monks and yogis.

However, what puzzled him was why they used "eat" instead of "kill".

"Please wait a moment while I inform the lay practitioners in the safe zone." The martial monks and yogis had come to provide assistance.

Now that the mission is complete and it's time to leave, I should at least say goodbye to Chu Danqing.

The strange figure scoffed, thinking, "What do you, a dignified fifth-realm cultivator, have to say to this bunch of ants?"

He thought this way, but he didn't show it; he simply followed behind the martial monks and yogis.

"Please convey that my business is finished and I will go back to report first," the martial monk yogi said, bowing with his hands clasped together.

Guo Ming returned the greeting and said, "Master, rest assured, I have conveyed your message. May you have a safe journey home."

“Then I will take your kind words.” After saying this, the martial monk yogi left with his men.

Chu Danqing knew the situation, but did not show up.

It wasn't that he didn't want to go, but everyone advised him against it, lest something unexpected happen.

That strange figure is a level 5 being. What if it's just a feigned surrender?
That's why Guo Ming stepped forward; after all, he could be resurrected even if he died, but if Chu Danqing died, everything would be over.

"The crisis is over." Guo Ming waited until everyone had disappeared before returning.

"I don't think it's that simple," Yang Qianyuan said. "Logically, it should be daytime now."

"But it's still pitch black."

As Yang Qianyuan was speaking, it began to rain, a pattering sound. The rainwater was a glaring blood red, and when it fell on the protective barriers of the safety zone, it produced a corrosive effect and emitted white smoke.

"As expected, it's been put to good use," Yang Qianyuan said softly.

The blood moon shattered, but that doesn't mean it's over.

"There's some good news, though. At least the Blood Rain doesn't have any buffs." Chu Danqing looked at the safe zone's defenses, which were as solid as a rock.

Blood Rain is too ineffective; it's less effective at restoring health than protecting against damage.

Otherwise, why would Yang Qianyuan have suggested making use of waste?

“That is true for us, but it may not be the case for the other apostles,” Yang Qianyuan replied.

They were well-prepared, so they weren't worried about being affected, but the other apostles who hadn't yet built safe zones might not be so lucky.

"Furthermore, I don't think this kind of pointless harm is worth a 6th-tier Nightmare Walker making such a fuss about."

“I’m more inclined to think it’s the trigger for another strategy,” Yang Qianyuan said.

Xiong Zhigang, who had just arrived after arranging the city's defenses and patrols, heard Yang Qianyuan's words and agreed: "That's right, every move they make involves the entire world's actions and trends."

"I don't think he would do such useless work."

Since the two shared the same idea, Chu Danqing naturally took it seriously.

“I understand. I’ll have people be extra careful and reinforce the defenses further.” It was King Kong Axe who spoke.

As for Chu Danqing's attention, it's actually of no use. He has plenty of talented people under his command, so a summoning apostle like him shouldn't get involved.

If you really try to interfere, who knows what might happen?

"Unfortunately, the highest-ranking Life Apostle that came was only level 4. If a level 5 apostle had come, we would have been in a winning position." Vajra Axe said helplessly.

Among the first batch of Life Apostles, ten were at the fourth rank, and the rest were at the third rank. Moreover, these third-rank Life Apostles, like the three adventure groups, were participating in a war mission for the first time.

Therefore, he is not very skilled in many areas.

As for those below them, they are all newbies and apprentices; the amusement park would never send them to the battlefield.

"Why didn't the amusement park send one?" Chu Danqing asked curiously.

“Training troops, huh? I remember this should be your second time, right? You’re a veteran leading new recruits.” King Kong Axe could tell from Chu Danqing’s rank 2 that he was definitely someone who had been on the battlefield since rank 1.

Chu Danqing spread his hands and said, "My last war was a secret invasion, not a large-scale operation."

"Hiss~" King Kong Axe gasped and said, "Then you are indeed remarkable. No wonder you don't know about the situation of direct warfare."

"The overall difficulty of this war mission is not high, and Ci Zhao has an absolute advantage."

"However, these difficulties will gradually increase when they are distributed among the lower levels."

"Just a speck of dust in the era."

"Then the park used them for training; these people were the real training targets."

“My situation is similar to yours; we’re both veterans mentoring new recruits,” said Vajra Axe.

As for Bixie, An'an Baojian, and Canfeng, who were standing to the side, they all had different thoughts after hearing this explanation.

While eating to replenish their energy, everyone discussed their next plans.

But this peace was soon shattered.

A captain under Xiong Zhigang's command hurried over.

"Your Majesty, something has happened!" the captain said immediately. "Something is trying to crawl out from underground."

Having said that, Kumashiro put down the food in his hand and said, "I'll go take a look."

"I'll go with you." Guo Ming got up and went together.

About ten minutes later, Guo Ming posted a picture in the team chat channel.

[Covenant Object 1: Image.JPG, the skeletons underground have come back to life and merged with the soil and rocks, and they can't be killed except by turning them to dust]

After he finished speaking, Kumashima also spoke up.

[Covenant Target #2: Fortunately, these strange creatures are weak, but I'm worried that the blood rain might increase their power. We need to observe them further.]

The two clearly had no intention of returning, so Chu Danqing took the opportunity to forward their screenshots and comments to the regional chat channel.

Bixie, Jingangfu, and others also watched it.

“There’s a very high chance that the blood rain will enhance these skeleton monsters, so we need to take care of some of them before they get stronger.” After saying that, Vajra Axe also got up: “I’ll go take care of something.”

It's very weak now, and it's not difficult to kill it as long as there are specialized weapons to counter it.

If we wait until they've fully developed before killing them, it will be a real hassle.

Seeing this, Bixie and the others felt embarrassed to stay any longer and could only set off to help.

After King Kong explained their situation, they became even more eager to participate in the battle.

For no other reason than that with Chu Danqing, a veteran, leading the way this time, the safety guarantee has been greatly improved.

But this benefit won't be available for the next war mission; then we'll really have to fight the enemy head-on.

Therefore, we must seize this opportunity and try to learn as much experience as possible.

If you encounter danger during a trial mission, you can simply be forced to return, but that's not the case for war missions; you have no choice but to grit your teeth and go on.

Chu Danqing was pondering a question: once he reached level 3, would he be considered a new recruit or a veteran in his first official war mission?

His war missions were all perks, not official ones.
