Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 592 Tiger Crouchs Halfway Down, Bandit Camp Disguised as Monk Soldiers
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, wake up quickly!" The madman rushed towards the tiger demon that was pretending to sleep and shouted, "I have brought you blood food, Your Majesty."

Clearly, this wasn't the first time this ghost had done something like this.

But just as it floated away, it was instantly reduced to ashes by Da Bao's tearing claws.

The tiger demon, sensing the death of the ghost, suddenly opened its eyes, jumped up, and let out a deafening roar towards the location of Chu Danqing and the others.

The sound was loud and carried a foul stench, then a gust of evil wind swept towards Chu Danqing.

As a result, he was pulled down from mid-air by Da Bao, who had activated his killing form.

This time, Da Bao did not receive Chu Danqing's instruction to leave any survivors, so it pierced the tiger demon's brain through its jaw with a single claw.

With a single twist, the tiger demon died instantly.

The whole process is lightning fast.

As long as he doesn't encounter someone with a primordial spirit, Da Bao can easily sweep through.

Even these demons and monsters couldn't withstand Da Bao's few moves.

The only pity is that the tiger demon did not drop any treasure chests. It's unclear whether it was because it was too weak or Chu Danqing guessed the mechanism wrong.

"This...this...this..." Zhou Duantong was speechless at the sight.

If it were him fighting this tiger demon, he would become its meal within two rounds at most.

However, he did have a way to kill the tiger demon.

All he had to do was return, spend money to hire skilled hunters, and then invite a group of martial arts masters to help him fight.

At that time, traps will be set in the mountains, and arrows will be used to shoot at the tiger demon from a distance. Once the tiger demon is on its last legs, there will be an opportunity to kill it.

However, doing so would not only cost a lot of money and take a long time, but also risk failure.

Unlike now, it's just a matter of one claw.

After the tiger demon was killed, Jade Horn Immortal Banlong, who served as its mount, couldn't help but swallow hard.

Fortunately, it developed its intelligence early and was fully developed, so it honestly agreed to be its mount.

If I hadn't fully awakened my intelligence before encountering them, I probably would have already been expelled by now.

Indeed, making the right choice is extremely important.

"Not bad, Da Bao has improved." Chu Danqing looked at the intact tiger demon corpse and casually tossed it into his storage space: "We'll cook it when we get back."

"They've all become demons, so they must be very nourishing."

Chu Danqing's cooking skills were average, but he had a lot of seasonings.

As long as you have a general grasp of it, that's fine.

Ancient indigenous peoples with low productivity truly never ate anything good.

"Brother, you have such skills?" Chai Jungui was also somewhat surprised.

"Generally speaking, it mainly relies on a lot of seasonings," Chu Danqing said honestly.

The seasonings he uses are all of high quality.

Even "excellent" grade is still quality!

Zhou Duantong also came to his senses and thought to himself that he was indeed a person who dared to challenge the true emperor.

Their methods are indeed remarkable; following their lead, we have a good chance of winning.

Otherwise, if they didn't have any real skills, they would probably be dead long ago, and how could they have gathered such a large group of people together?

"What seasonings are used?" Ruan Yingmei asked, leaning closer.

Chu Danqing casually picked up a few, leaving Ruan Yingmei dumbfounded.

For example, pepper is a precious spice, and the one Chu Danqing brought out was of the highest quality.

But he could easily grab a handful of them.

Zhou Duantong's eyes widened.

"You want some?" Chu Danqing said, grabbing a handful for each person: "Here, keep them to play with."

Hearing Chu Danqing say that, the two of them quickly stuffed the items into their pockets.

As for Chai Jungui, he was simply of such low status that he had no idea what this thing was.

Ruan Yingmei and Zhou Duantong were both landlords, so they knew about pepper.

The two were even more excited after receiving the items.

They thought Chu Danqing was already extraordinary enough, but they never expected her to be so approachable.

As they were talking, they heard a rustling sound coming from not far away.

Several monks carrying knives, spears, and clubs rushed over.

They were clearly attracted by the tiger demon's roar.

The leading monk glanced around and his gaze fell on Zhou Duantong, and his expression immediately changed.

He naturally knew that the head monk of the martial monks' hall had led a group to exterminate the Zhou family.

But now that Zhou Duantong is here, one can imagine what has happened.

As for coming to Mashan Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha? He must be incredibly stupid to think that way.

Even without this incident, the seven-day mourning period for the eldest and second sons of the Zhou family has not yet passed, and Zhou Duantong should be at home wearing mourning clothes.

The only reason someone would abandon such a momentous matter to come here is to seek revenge.

"Form ranks and vanquish the demon!" the monk immediately shouted.

Although the remaining monks were puzzled, they were used to training in martial arts and immediately devised a demon-slaying formation.

"Strict discipline, truly an elite force," Chu Danqing said softly.

These monks appear to be warrior monks, but in other words, they are monk soldiers.

As soon as the opportunity arises, one can don armor, pick up weapons, and go to the battlefield. This true emperor's reserve forces are flourishing everywhere, and he can find help from all sides.

As Chu Danqing was speaking, the martial monks had already charged over.

Chai Jungui, Ruan Yingmei, and Zhou Duantong went to meet them.

With the three of them working together, and Chai Jungui and Yu Jiaoxian Banlong leading the charge, the so-called demon-slaying formation of the enemy was shattered in just a few sword strikes.

Having or not having a primordial spirit represents two different levels of strength.

On the other side, someone saw Chu Danqing and Da Bao just standing there watching the show.

Chu Danqing, in particular, seemed to be the leader.

Therefore, some martial monks had the idea of ​​capturing the leader first to capture the thief.

Taking advantage of their numerical superiority, they immediately broke free and charged towards Chu Danqing.

After running only two steps, Da Yu, a permanent guardian summon, directly used the Demon-Subduing Sword to cleave the person in half—or rather, smash him into a pulp.

After all, Da Yu was as huge as a mecha defense tower, so the weapons on his six arms were naturally enormous as well.

Therefore, it's more like he was smashed to death by the Demon-Subduing Sword.

The monks were horrified by what they saw, and their morale collapsed, so they tried to flee.

The idea is good, but while they have the final say on when it comes to coming, they won't have the same say on when it comes to leaving.

The three chased after them, slashing left and right, smashing them with their clubs, killing the group of monks who fled in all directions. But in the end, they were caught up and killed by the monks with a single sword strike.

The reason why Chai Jungui delivered the finishing blow was because Yu Jiao Xian Ban Long was a demon, so he could run fast and ignore the terrain.

Ruan Yingmei and Zhou Duantong were riding horses, and the horses were ordinary horses, so how could they compare?

Before long, all of them were killed.

Zhou Duantong seemed to have discovered something. After killing everyone, he dismounted and examined the corpses.

After inspecting for about five minutes, he turned around and said, "The leader is a bandit."

"The remaining few people are probably not clean-cut either."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the head monk of the martial monks' hall is probably also a bandit."

"This entire Mashan Temple was originally a bandit's den."

After learning about this, Zhou Duantong was furious, along with a group of bald thieves.

"Putting everything else aside, how did you figure out he was a bandit?" Chu Danqing asked curiously.

Hearing Chu Danqing's question, Zhou Duantong picked up the corpse and said, "Brother Chu, please look at this person."

The other party presented a series of evidence, and then added, "I fought this guy back then and hit him on the right arm with a stick."

As he spoke, he compared the patterns on the iron rod with the old wound marks on the corpse's right arm.

Although it's not exactly the same as before due to the recovery of the injury, you can still generally tell that it was indeed an old injury left by the iron rod.

Chu Danqing didn't ask why she hadn't recognized you when you went to the temple to offer incense before.

These people act as both monks and bandits, so they must be disguising themselves when they come out to rob.

They use their true colors to plunder and pillage the surrounding area; what's the difference between that and self-destruction?

“It shouldn’t just be these people; there must be a share in the government offices as well,” Chu Danqing said, narrowing his eyes.

From Zhou Duantong's words, it can be confirmed that this gang of bandits has been entrenched for quite some time and has not yet been dealt with.

How could someone be so reckless without connections and background?

It is precisely because of the protection of others that it has been able to develop to this day.

“Not only that, the government should take the lion’s share of the temple’s incense money,” Ruan Yingmei echoed.

"That's normal. Getting seventy percent of the money to the government requires connections," Chu Danqing said with a smile. "Even if other people wanted to, they couldn't get that kind of connection, even if they knelt down."

"Then wouldn't it mean that even if we get rid of Mashan Temple, it will all be in vain?" Zhou Duantong said with a hint of helplessness.

Chu Danqing shook his head: "What's the big deal? If some people in the government office have taken money, we can just send them off to their families for a reunion."

It's just killing an official, what's the big deal?

Several emperors have died at his hands, so what are a few officials compared to him?

These words immediately silenced the three of them.

Although they were going to fight against the true emperor, the true emperor was still a commoner and had not yet truly gained power.

As a result, Chu Danqing immediately said that killing officials was indeed something they were not used to.

"What? You don't actually think you're still law-abiding citizens, do you?" Chu Danqing noticed their expressions and said, "We are all traitors."

“Especially you, you are the ringleader of rebels.” Chu Danqing looked at Chai Jungui and said, “We are not only rebelling against the imperial court, but against the entire world, immortals, Buddhas, ghosts and gods.”

"As for Zhou Laosan, you still have a chance to withdraw."

Before Zhou Duantong could express his loyalty, Chu Danqing continued, "The only consequence is that his entire family will be wiped out."

Having said all that, Zhou Duantong swallowed his words.

What kind of loyalty is this? We're all in the same boat.

"Then this bandit leader must also be a star deity descended to earth," Zhou Duantong said, shifting his attention.

"The possibility is not small. He might even be the cavalry commander of the true Son of Heaven," Chu Danqing said. "Killing him would be entirely beneficial to us."

In particular, Chu Danqing not only helps with the trial missions, but also allows you to obtain a Brilliant-level treasure chest.

"There's no time to lose. Before Mashan Temple finds out these warrior monks are dead, let's storm their gates." Upon hearing this, Chai Jungui understood the importance of speed in warfare.

Ruan Yingmei and Zhou Duantong also nodded in agreement.

"Let's go!" After Chu Danqing finished speaking, the group returned to the main road following the route they had come from and sped towards Mashan Temple.
