Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 553 Fifth Realm, Blood Rain Cultivator

The blood rain continued for two days without stopping, and all the resurrected skeletons around the safe zone were wiped out.

But everyone knows that this matter is not over.

The blood rain wasn't limited to their safe zone; they were only clearing the surrounding area, not everything.

Today marks the fourth day since Chu Danqing and his group invaded this world, and the third day since the establishment of the safe zone.

During this period, numerous safe zones sprang up.

This significantly reduces the visibility of what was originally a solitary safe zone.

This incident relieved Chu Danqing and the others of most of their pressure.

This is good news for them.

"The situation is not optimistic." Bixie wiped the blood rain off his body and said, "The effects of the blood rain have intensified."

"Plants have undergone fundamental changes, as have small animals and insects."

"The larger ones have already mutated by half."

"Moreover, these things will merge together, and at most by tomorrow morning, we may have to face this monster head-on."

Bixie revealed the intelligence he had gathered during his investigation and also released the footage he had recorded using props.

Everyone frowned as they looked at the blood-rain monsters.

There are many now, but that may not be the case tomorrow, as they will eventually merge.

"Wait a minute, where are they?" Chu Danqing quickly found the blind spot.

These monsters include animals, plants, insects, and even skeletons, rocks, and soil.

However, the indigenous people were missing.

“I don’t know, I only saw these monsters.” Pixie wasn’t lying and continued, “The nearest village is also empty, there’s not a single person there.”

"Based on the traces, it should have disappeared on the day the blood moon appeared, and it is very likely that he died during the blood moon."

Yang Qianyuan interjected, "Is it possible that the Blood Moon was actually created by the indigenous people?"

In any other trial world, Chu Danqing would have retorted with an "impossible."

But in this world, it's actually quite possible.

These indigenous people are essentially the subjects of Guiyun, the nightmare traveler, whose life and death are entirely at his disposal.

“The possibility is not small.” Vajra Axe expressed his agreement. After all, he was an Apostle of Life. He was not good at fighting, but when it came to production and manufacturing, he was definitely a professional.

"However," King Kong Axe paused, then said, "Looking at the public chat channel, someone is fighting against these monsters."

Guo Ming, Xiong Zhigang, and Yang Qianyuan couldn't see it; like Da Bao and Da Bai, they could only use the team chat channel.

Chu Danqing could see it, so she forwarded it directly to the team chat channel.

"The safe zone has been breached? How is this possible?!" Kumashima's expression was filled with surprise.

He personally led the troops to defend the city walls, so he naturally knew how sturdy the safe zones that had been built were.

Even on the first day, it's unlikely to be broken.

The crowd remained silent, for the apostle who sent the screenshots and messages was already dead.

So there's no way to ask what happened.

“Something’s not right. The Blood Rain Monster’s strength defies common sense,” Chu Danqing said.

The Blood Rain Monsters have shared a common characteristic over the past two days, whether in publicly available information or information they have gathered themselves.

That's body shape.

The more Blood Rain Monsters a creature merges with, the larger it becomes; similarly, the stronger the Blood Rain Monster becomes.

If the Blood Rain monsters don't fuse, even if they mutate, they'll only be slightly stronger than before.

Essentially, it relies on accumulating quantity to gain sufficient strength and achieve a qualitative change.

"Not necessarily. What if the core of this Blood Rain Monster is a cultivator?" Yang Qianyuan said after reading the latest forwarded intelligence. "Ordinary people are used as materials, but cultivators might still be alive."

"Compared to the plants and animals in nature, cultivators are fewer in number and can resist blood rain, so we don't usually encounter them."

“But Guiyun isn’t stupid. Of course he understands that he needs to maximize his profits, so he can easily create this kind of monster himself.”

"He doesn't even need to make it from scratch. He just needs to make a core and then embed it into a fully formed Blood Rain Monster."

When Yang Qianyuan said this, everyone present felt a jolt of unease.

No wonder the past two days have been calm, with only the blood rain dripping down.

If they encountered the same situation here, wouldn't they also suffer heavy losses?

“A complete cleanup is impossible; we can only try to shrink and eliminate them.” Xiong Zhigang then proposed a solution: “It is not cheap for the other side to do this; the Ghost Cloud cannot be produced indefinitely.”

"Moreover, Ci Zhao will not let him continue, so we will most likely only encounter one Blood Rain Monster, and the other party will not be able to launch a second wave of attacks."

Everyone knows that there will definitely be no reinforcements this time.

The last time reinforcements arrived was because they were the first to establish a safe zone, which was a special situation.

But things are different now. The number of safe zones has increased significantly, so even if their safe zones are breached, it won't affect the overall situation.

Defeating the Blood Rain Monster is inevitable, but how many apostles can survive is another matter entirely.

"We also..." Chu Danqing was about to offer some encouragement when a piercing alarm suddenly sounded in the safe zone. "Highest alert, level 5," Vajra Axe immediately announced. The Life Apostles, working day and night to produce and build, had naturally installed corresponding sentry posts, detection equipment, and other related facilities for the safe zone.

In addition, there are various effects such as illusion breaking and revealing/hiding.

"Do you have any trump cards? If not, you can only try to ask for help," said Vajra Axe. "The safe zone can only withstand a level 5 attack for 24 hours. I can't guarantee it will last longer than that."

The safe zone created by several Tier 4 Life Apostles and a group of Tier 3 Life Apostles was already very strong to withstand Tier 5 attacks, let alone last this long.

Although it was a training exercise where experienced soldiers mentored new recruits, none of them were exactly easy to deal with.

Of course, this is also because the safe zone was built relatively early, giving them a few more days to develop.

In the public chat, someone has already killed the Blood Rain Monster.

Those who took action were all similar to Chu Danqing, belonging to the top apostles of the second tier, and possessing fifth-tier trump cards.

Chu Danqing did not answer immediately, but discussed it with Xiong Zhigang and Yang Qianyuan in the team channel.

Seeing that someone had revealed their cards first, and both were level 5, the two were no longer afraid of being the first to act.

Therefore, it is recommended that Chu Danqing act quickly and summon the Goddess of Cats.

“Yes, I’ll call the cat over to help.” As Chu Danqing spoke, he activated the Mountain and River Alliance.

The goddess of cats responded immediately, chewing on a spicy snack she'd grabbed from who-knows-where; she was clearly some kind of mythical creature.

"Meow?" The Goddess of Cats slurped up the spicy snack and then declared that she wanted to eat the canned food!

Chu Danqing opened a can of food for him and said, "You eat first, the outside is fine."

"Meow!" Upon hearing that there were enemies outside, the Goddess of Cats meowed to indicate that she should put down the jar and would be right back.

Then they saw the Cat Goddess swell into a cat-headed, human-bodied form, wielding a fork and bell as she charged out.

"Is the cat planning to kill Hua Xiong while the wine is still warm?" Chu Danqing was both amused and exasperated.

"Let's go check out the situation." Yang Qianyuan felt something was wrong. The Goddess of the Cat was good at bullying the weak, but she was terrible at fighting a truly evenly matched battle.

Chu Danqing also realized Yang Qianyuan's idea and set off immediately.

Upon reaching the city wall of the safe zone, I witnessed the battle between the Cat Goddess and the Blood Rain Monster.

The Blood Rain Monster is only about five meters tall, but its appearance is hard to describe.

However, Yang Qianyuan was indeed right about one thing: the core of this Blood Rain Monster was indeed a cultivator.

The newcomer was a strange cultivator at level 4, who, along with a large number of fused monsters, ultimately boosted his strength from level 4 to level 5.

This group of strange cultivators has always lived in this dog-eat-dog world, and their combat experience is quite extensive.

The cat goddess, a primitive deity who uses force to oppress people, is no match for them.

At first, he was able to gain the upper hand by virtue of his divine power and birth.

But as the battle progressed, the Blood Rain Monk gradually discovered the Cat Goddess's shortcomings.

The rest is simple: just use your strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses.

However, the Goddess of Cats also has advantages. After all, she is a deity, so her disadvantages will only be disadvantages and will not turn into defeat.

"I'm going to help the cat." Seeing this, Guo Ming also drew his sword and prepared to go out.

But Chu Danqing stopped him, saying, "It's too dangerous, no way."

"I'll send the military force; even if they're wounded or killed, they can be regrouped," Xiong Zhigang said.

However, Yang Qianyuan smiled and said, "No need for that. If you go to help, you'll only be a burden to Maomao."

Upon seeing Yang Qianyuan's expression, Chu Danqing immediately understood that he had a solution in mind.

"Can you solve this?" Chu Danqing asked hurriedly.

Yang Qianyuan shook his head and said, "I don't have that ability."

"But there is someone who can solve it."

"Who?" Chu Danqing asked in confusion. Even the strongest Cat Goddess couldn't solve this problem with their group. Who else could it be?

“Brother Chu, have you forgotten Qingying?” Yang Qianyuan said immediately.

Chu Danqing quickly understood Yang Qianyuan's meaning.

"You want Qingying to command the Cat Goddess in battle."

"But her reaction speed is too slow, she simply can't do it." Chu Danqing certainly knew that Li Qingying had this ability.

But Chu Danqing also knew Li Qingying's shortcomings.

Of the entire team, Li Qingying's reaction speed was only enough to command Chu Danqing.

Chu Danqing is the only one who has maxed out summoning skills, but is completely clueless in combat.

"Qingying may not be able to command, but she can see through the enemy's weaknesses and vulnerabilities."

"Then just let the cats attack the Blood Rain cultivator's weaknesses and vulnerabilities." Yang Qianyuan knew that commanding the attack would be more effective and would also provide a buff.

However, it cannot be done.

Let's try a different approach to solve this.
