On behalf of all Xianghua Village, I am deeply grateful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But from now on, you must not get involved in what comes next.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tonight I’ll prepare your things. At dawn tomorrow, leave the village.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is a token of our thanks.” With that, the chief pulled out a necklace and handed it to Chu Danqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The necklace was made of wolf teeth—clearly from the two wolves Chu Danqing had killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing did not take it; he pushed it back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Village chief, I can’t leave.” Chu Danqing knew exactly what the chief meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cave God of Luohua wanted him as a sacrifice; the chief didn’t want that and told him to run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he left Xianghua Village’s borders, the Cave God could no longer touch him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even counting today, he’d only been here four days—three more days until the seven-day survival window ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he left Xianghua Village, he’d lose every advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d gained so much by leveraging the village’s influence—he couldn’t just walk away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he left, ten girls in their prime would die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This kind of aberrant, evil deity cannot be trusted.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Today it forces you once; tomorrow it will demand more.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We must make the Cave God retreat in fear—otherwise, there will be no end to it.” Chu Danqing’s tone was grave; he’d once kept his distance from all affairs, but not anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Th-this…” The chief was furious at Chu Danqing’s rebuke: “You don’t understand how terrifying the Cave God is!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When does the Cave God demand its sacrifice?” Chu Danqing cut straight to the point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This time, five days,” the chief sighed deeply. “It’s already generous—it was supposed to be three.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Five days?” Chu Danqing’s eyes flickered: “I’ll go as the sacrifice three days from now—but I choose the exact time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?!” The chief was stunned: “No, no! Young Chu, you don’t understand—once you go, you won’t come back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even those who escaped the White Dragon Fish’s mouth and ascended died when offered to the Cave God.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the Cave God, the White Dragon Fish wasn’t even a minor lackey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What if I caused the Luohua Cave to collapse?” Chu Danqing said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d just thought of a better solution: gunpowder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why hadn’t he made it before? Because he’d forgotten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even if he remembered, he might not have been able to gather enough materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reputation matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the White Dragon Fish died, Chu Danqing was merely the chief’s benefactor—getting enough gunpowder ingredients and convincing the whole village to help him make it was impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it’s different—he had enough reputation and fame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the one who killed the White Dragon Fish, his merit was undoubtedly among the top three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he volunteered to go to the back mountain as the Cave God’s sacrifice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the chief mediating, he held all advantages—timing, terrain, and human support—his momentum was overwhelming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chief fell silent. Chu Danqing’s suggestion was far more tempting than killing the White Dragon Fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xianghua Village owes you, young man,” the chief finally agreed. “What do you need us to do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I need saltpeter, charcoal, sulfur, and iron sand. Saltpeter must be ninety percent; charcoal and sulfur together make up ten percent; iron sand is flexible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And I need every man, woman, and child in the village to assist me.” Chu Danqing laid out his demands plainly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing didn’t know if gunpowder existed in this world—but he’d try it anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chief didn’t hesitate: “Fine. I’ll gather everything for you by tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s just a token of our gratitude—take it,” the chief said, shoving the necklace into Chu Danqing’s hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Chu Danqing didn’t refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another piece of equipment—but not of excellent quality, only common.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Wolf Tooth Necklace】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Type: Equipment · Necklace】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Quality: Common】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Durability: 100\u002F100】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Wolf Howl (Active): Consume 1 energy point to summon a wolf spirit’s howl, causing enemies within one meter to be stunned for one second.

I’m afraid… I can’t.” The chief truly couldn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Chu Danqing didn’t press.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clinging to one’s own humble tools was common in ancient times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xianghua Village clearly had many skilled people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Tu could cook food that permanently increased stats; now the chief’s in-law could craft equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Chu Danqing had chosen to follow these villagers’ paths instead of the chief’s, he might have acquired corresponding skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had no regrets—regret served no purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Village chief, I still have some questions I’d like you to answer.” Chu Danqing changed the subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Chu, ask freely—we’re family now. No need to be so formal.” The chief had already regarded Chu Danqing as family since he agreed to become the sacrifice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s the truth about Da Bao?” Chu Danqing cut straight to the point: “When he gets angry, his strength increases. His wounds from the White Dragon Fish heal overnight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All these abnormal traits pointed to something extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the chief didn’t answer right away. He glanced around, then whispered: “He has half the Cave God’s blood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing sucked in a sharp breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d imagined extraordinary talent, or rare treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he never imagined this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Cave God eats people—why would it take interest in a human?” Chu Danqing spotted the flaw: like a person wouldn’t develop improper thoughts about a chicken cutlet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It wouldn’t,” the chief said casually. “That’s why Da Bao’s mother went mad.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, Chu Danqing understood one thing: people have two faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people of Xianghua Village were no different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know what had happened during that time—but he knew the outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xianghua Village now had a village guardian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder everyone raised Da Bao together—they all benefited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Chu Danqing could speak again, a villager rushed over: “Chief! Bad news—Da Bao has suddenly collapsed!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1095,"2026-06-20T00:54:40.605Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","a6d3046d9a86bef33eaef363087e94a65279610f5c12b846922873956010f984","dimension-park-i-am-the-summoning-apostle-chapter-15","dimension-park-i-am-the-summoning-apostle-chapter-13",305,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdimension-park-i-am-the-summoning-apostle-cover.jpg"]
