Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 689 Pure Yuanbao Incense
"Brother, I have a bad feeling about this," the red-haired rat demon suddenly said.

He's been uneasy ever since his older brother finished his business last time.

When it became a spirit, it received an opportunity that allowed it to vaguely sense some dangers.

Upon hearing this, the black-haired rat demon felt that the red-haired rat demon was making a mountain out of a molehill.

"That red-haired savage is indeed quite strong." The black-haired rat demon chuckled coldly, "But so what?"

"Do they really think the gods in the city are just for show?"

"Given such a disadvantage, the other party will definitely choose to prove their innocence."

"So what? We prepared an ironclad plan two days in advance."

"With the help of that constable, what ability does the other side have?" The black-haired rat demon wondered how the other side could possibly break through the inescapable trap he had laid.
As for resistance? Wouldn't that be even better? They could just kill them on the spot.

So no matter what they do, the other party is doomed.

"This is a good opportunity to teach you what it means to have a powerful backer for cultivation," the black-haired rat demon said. "If we weren't under the prince's command and hadn't presented the imperial edict to that constable..."

"If we had actually encountered that constable, the five of us brothers would have been killed long ago as a mark of merit."

"It's nothing like before, when they treated us with such respect."

Upon hearing this, the four rat demons also agreed that their eldest brother was right.

"The world is vast, but the imperial court is the greatest!" the black-haired rat demon said again. "If Your Highness's grand plan succeeds, although we are demons, our contribution to the emperor's cause will be real."

"We brothers will surely share in the future glory and wealth."

At this point, the black-haired rat demon realized that all they were missing was obtaining the precious pearl.

"But we must be careful," the black-haired rat demon instructed. "When you go to retrieve the pearl after the news arrives, be extremely cautious."

"Although the constable appeared respectful, he actually looked down on us brothers."

"If he really finds out that the pearl is involved in the prince's grand plan, he will definitely kill us and go to present the pearl himself."

As they were talking, the red-haired rat demon frowned deeply.

"Brother, I still feel that something is slightly wrong with this matter."

Upon hearing this, the black-haired rat demon's face showed displeasure.

It knew that the red-haired rat demon was being timid and hesitant because of the supernatural power it had gained from that opportunity, but even though things were about to be accomplished, it still had this attitude.

He truly has no future.

"Then what do you expect us to do?" The black-haired rat demon asked, his tone tinged with dissatisfaction.

I only wanted to share this with my sworn brotherhood, which is why I brought it along to prosper.

But the other side repeatedly dampened their morale, so they won't include them next time there's something good.

Let it stay in the gutter for the rest of its life.

"Let's leave this Stone Forest Hill first. I feel uncomfortable here," the red-haired rat demon said after a moment's hesitation.

"Huh?" The black-haired rat demon didn't expect the other party to say that; it thought the other party was trying to stop it.

Therefore, he quickly suppressed his dissatisfaction and asked, "Why do you suddenly feel unwell?"

"It feels like something is pressing on my chest, making it hard to breathe," the red-haired rat demon said. "I've never experienced anything like this before."

The black-haired rat demon pondered for a moment and then said, "Alright, let's leave Stone Forest Hill first."

“That’s not a good idea,” the yellow-haired rat demon said. “If we leave, and the constable sends someone to inform us, we’ll miss it.”

"It's alright, we can go find each other later." The black-haired rat demon said it simply, but he had a different idea in his heart.

What it was worried about was the head constable, after all, what else could pose such a great threat to them but a god?

So all it could think of was that the constable wanted to kill the rat and steal the credit.

After saying this, without bothering to pack his things, the black-haired rat demon led four other rat demons out of the cave.

"Thanks to my lord's good fortune, we've only taken a few steps before we've met you." A woman's voice reached the ears of the Five Rat Demons.

The black-haired rat demon in the lead looked up and saw a burly man in golden armor standing at the entrance of its cave.

There was also a woman standing nearby.

Before it could see clearly, the golden-armored man stepped on its head.

Its immense force stomped its head directly into the ground.

It struggled, but it couldn't break free unless its head was chopped off.

"Our lord wishes to see you," the woman said once more.

Apart from the black-haired rat demon who had its head stepped on and the red-haired rat demon who was so frightened that it collapsed to the ground, the remaining three rat demons ran away in a flash.

A murderous intent flashed in Long Xiangjun's eyes. He swung his heavy sword and instantly smashed two nearby rat demons into mincemeat.

He was using only heavy armor; the weight of the greatsword itself, combined with his strength, was far beyond what two level 2 rat demons could withstand.

Although Long Xiang Luan Yi and Tian Yuan Po Zhen are now the weakest groups under Chu Danqing's command, that is only in terms of allies.

In fact, they were able to obtain most of Chu Danqing's attribute bonuses, and their strength was incomparable to that of the natives.

Of the five rat demons, only the black-haired rat demon that Long Xiangjun stepped on was Rank 3; the other four were all Rank 2.

Their strength is pitifully weak.

As for the other escaped rat demon, it was also dealt with by Luan Yijun using magic.

“Two should be enough.” Luan Yijun glanced at the black-furred rat demon being stepped on and said, “This one is the strongest, and should be the leader.”

"I suppose you know the truth. Take him back."

Long Xiangjun reached out and summoned the heavy sword back into its sheath.

Then he picked up the two rat demons, one on each side.

"Who...who are you?!" the black-haired rat demon asked, its expression filled with despair. It was certain that the two who had attacked it were neither gods nor demons.

Gods wouldn't anthropomorphize like this, nor would demons and monsters look like this.

Although it's absurd, it confirms that these two are indeed human, and not the ones who wield divine power.

This is truly too shocking to its values.

"You don't need to know that," Luan Yijun said with a light laugh. "Just answer whatever my lord asks you."

You can too.

Hearing Luan Yijun pause in his speech, the black-haired rat demon thought it could still survive.

"Die quickly and painlessly, so you won't be tortured."

The black-haired rat demon's rat eyes widened in disbelief; it had never expected this answer.

"This, this shouldn't be..." The black-haired rat demon wanted to say that it should be spared, but it was interrupted before it could finish speaking.

"You'll know how to choose," Luan Yijun said, then ignored the black-haired rat demon.

As for the red-haired rat demon, it has not yet recovered from being paralyzed with fear at the beginning.

All I can say is that this person is really timid.

Seeing that Luan Yijun ignored him, the black-haired rat demon's mind kept racing as he was being carried away.

He was only thinking about how to save himself.

However, it discovered that the gap in strength between the two sides was too great, and all possible methods were extremely limited.

"Take a look and see if anyone is missing." Chu Danqing pointed to the corpses piled up by Da Bao.

Because he needed to take inventory, Da Bao was careful this time and didn't tear the body to pieces, leaving it intact.

The middle-aged man who called himself Wu Feng ordered it again and again.

“Sir, they are all here, not one is missing,” Wu Feng said respectfully.

This is to avenge his daughter, so he definitely needs to count carefully.

Although he did not die without an heir, he only had this one daughter, who was the apple of his eye since childhood.

"Well, that's good." Chu Danqing sat down in the armchair and breathed a sigh of relief.

He brought Da Bao to wipe out the entire family, while Long Xiang Luan Yi went to deal with the five rat demons.

It was just a B-level difficulty mission, which they accomplished with ease.

If the Dragon Soaring Phoenix Emblem cannot be solved, then the difficulty level must be at least S-rank.

"Brother Chu, I found something nice in the storeroom, would you like to take a look?" Lu Wanyi said with a smile.

Several servants followed behind, carrying a large box.

These servants were naturally the servants of the Wu family who had stopped the carriage earlier.

With Wu Feng, the head of the Wu family, personally leading the way, they would definitely follow.

Upon hearing this, Chu Danqing also stood up abruptly and asked, "What is it? Aunt Lu, you think it's good?"

One may doubt Lu Wanyi's ability to engage in palace intrigue, but Lu Wanyi has indeed seen good things.

"Here, a stick of pure incense, a top-grade item for offering to the household gods." Lu Wanyi had someone open the box.

The box was large, but it only contained one stick of incense.

However, this incense stick is quite large, as tall as a person.

No wonder they used a large box for storage; the box looks custom-made.

【Pure Yuanbao Incense】

[Type: consumables]

[Quality: Brilliance]

[Effect 1: When lit, it is offered to a deity of faith, granting them 50 points of incense faith. The effects of household gods, ancestral spirits, and guardian deities are increased by 50%.]

[Effect 2: After lighting, it completely absorbs the aroma, and increases the progress of random talent and class talent by 10.]

Usage requirements: None

(Note: If Effect 1 and Effect 2 are both active at the same time, the profits will be divided according to the proportion obtained.)
(Note: Offerings and absorption can be made in sections)
Chu Danqing glanced at it and thought it was pretty good.

The value lies in effect 2.

It might be a bit inconvenient to use.

To fully absorb the incense stick, you need to increase the progress by 10. Only a level 3 melee apostle could withstand the stamina required to absorb such a large stick.

Fortunately, it doesn't have to be a one-time event; if it can't hold on any longer and goes out, we can wait and see.

Chu Danqing felt that using it to improve talent progress was a bit of a waste; its real purpose should be to make offerings to the gods.

Unfortunately, Chu Danqing doesn't cultivate her spirit, and Da Bai is no longer a guardian spirit, so it's useless to her.

I'll ask the Cat Goddess if she wants this; if so, I'll give it to her.

Rather than selling it, Chu Danqing prefers to give it to allies, especially in suitable situations.

If it's not suitable, Chu Danqing definitely won't give it away; instead, she'll sell it for money.

It would be a waste to use it himself, since he has other ways to improve his talent progress.

“It’s definitely a good thing.” Chu Danqing asked, “Aunt Lu, is this thing valuable?”

This was the first time he had encountered an Indigenous resource that could improve his talent progression.

Although it is random, for someone like Chu Danqing who only has one career talent that can be improved, whether it is random or not doesn't matter.
