Chapter 149: Shuo Dynasty, going to Linyuan

【Reserve Dimensional Apostle No. 9999090919 begins trial】

【Shuo Dynasty】

【Trial Introduction: The Great Shuo has been established for three hundred years; outside there are barbarians knocking at the gates, inside there is talk of reform, a scene of a great building about to collapse.】

【Trial Mission: Collect the Nine Cauldrons Diagrams scattered within Linyuan City within three months (0/9)】

【Trial Difficulty: A-rank (Heroic)】

【Trial Reward: Paradise Points × 10,000, Attribute Points +4】

【Trial Failure: Forced return and all attributes -1, simultaneously deducting all gains】

【Hint: This is an A-rank difficulty reserve-tier promotion assessment; please apostle, give it your all.】

【Hint: This is a chain-type mission; subsequent missions will be opened sequentially. If you cannot complete them, all subsequent missions will be considered failed.】

【Hint: Do not leave the trial mission range at will, otherwise it may lead to the loss of trial mission items, the death of mission characters, and other unknown situations; you are responsible for the consequences of such behavior.】

【Warning: It is forbidden to mention or reveal anything related to the Dimensional Paradise during the trial, otherwise you will be stripped of your trial qualifications, all missions will be judged as failed, and you will be forcibly repatriated to Paradise.】

——

Chu Danqing glanced at the hint; the trial range in the third item had changed; originally it might have led to an increase in trial difficulty.

But because it was a promotion assessment, it was changed to be related to mission items and mission characters.

If even one mistake was made, wanting to complete the trial mission and be promoted would basically be impossible.

【You consumed Paradise Points × 200 and mastered the language and writing of this world.】

【Open identity selection】

【Identity: Wandering Artiste (Inherited), Cost: Paradise Points × 500】

Chu Danqing once again chose his Wandering Artiste identity; having gone through two accumulations, he certainly had to continue to exert his advantages.

Although he might not be able to fully exert it because he had changed worlds, it could also make his resume have more highlights.

As the selection was completed, simple settings and partial memories emerged once again.

Compared to the previous two times, it was much more perfected.

It was just that even so, the use was still relatively limited, and it couldn't reach the point of influencing the overall situation.

If it were really that powerful, it wouldn't just be 500 points.

The main role of the identity was to make you not a "black household," and secondly, to rationalize the skills, temperament, summoned entities, etc., that made the apostle themselves and the trial world incompatible.

Otherwise, with Chu Danqing carrying so many summoned entities with different styles, he would have long been suspected of having problems.

After arriving, Chu Danqing scanned his surroundings; at this moment, they were in a ruined temple.

Besides him and Da Bao, there were five other apostles.

He could clearly perceive that these five people's strength was not low, and each of them exuded different but extremely powerful auras.

Picking out any one of them alone could win against Da Bao.

At this time, Da Bao was already bristling, instinctively expanding its fur to make itself look more massive.

This was a subconscious reaction brought about by animal instinct; Da Bao's eyes were full of vigilance, and it also wanted to calm down its bristling fur, but its body was out of control.

Da Bai, on the other hand, was confused; how long had it been born, and it hadn't experienced battle, let alone such keen intuition, and it was hidden in Chu Danqing's body being protected, so it didn't feel anything.

"My Da Bao is just a five-year-old child and is afraid of strangers." Chu Danqing explained.

The five apostles glanced at Da Bao, each speechless in their hearts.

This physique is five years old? They could indeed beat Da Bao, but if they really wanted to kill Da Bao, they would have to pay a price.

And they didn't believe that Chu Danqing only had Da Bao as a summoned entity.

Everyone present hadn't revealed their trump cards; being able to be matched in the same promotion trial meant that everyone's strength was on par.

"Long Hu Alliance reserve-tier apostle, Qing Jian." The woman wearing a cross-collar ruqun with a long sword slung at her waist introduced herself and then asked: "Cooperate?"

Chu Danqing glanced at the other party; the Long Hu Alliance's power was truly not small; he really could meet them once in every world.

This meant that they had apostles at every stage, with a constant stream of new blood, making it an extremely healthy power.

"Tiance Prefecture reserve-tier apostle, Blood Eagle." Another man wearing military armor spoke in a muffled voice: "I've heard of you; in the previous trial, you made the Iron Furnace, who called himself the Little War God of our Tiance Prefecture, kneel and beg for mercy."

"I've been unhappy with that kid for a long time, and cooperating with you seems like it will have quite a few gains."

The other party came with a "praise after criticism"; he thought there would be friction, but it turned out to be a twist.

Chu Danqing had also heard of the Tiance Prefecture power.

The impression was that they could fight, and were also good at group fighting.

However, this was the first time Chu Danqing had encountered them.

These two people from major powers took the opportunity to form a superficial alliance.

"I won't need to; my Da Bao doesn't like strangers." Chu Danqing used Da Bao as an excuse to refuse.

In fact, it was indeed the case; Da Bao was already bristling, so how could it like them.

The remaining three apostles didn't express anything, probably because they were incompatible.

Chu Danqing, Qing Jian, and Blood Eagle all had clothing appearances leaning towards Eastern Xianxia.

Among the remaining three, one was dressed as a wizard and couldn't tell if they were male or female, another was wearing armor similar to Iron Man, and the last one was directly in casual modern wear.

If it weren't for equipment rationalization and identity concealment, different trial worlds would cause varying degrees of trouble.

The countdown ended, and the protective layer returned to zero.

The three incompatible apostles didn't linger and left directly.

On the contrary, Qing Jian and Blood Eagle chatted back and forth.

Blood Eagle looked like a rough guy at first glance, but he was an old hand at flirting.

Chu Danqing, as usual, took Da Bao and began to search the ruined temple.

You chat your chat, he searches his search; they don't interfere with each other, right?

"Brother, we're chatting so hotly, we're almost biting each other; wouldn't you rather avoid it first?" Blood Eagle's tone wasn't very good.

Chu Danqing heard this and sized the two up.

Then he nodded and said: "Okay, you guys endure for another ten minutes; I'll be done immediately."

Agreeing was agreeing, but he didn't take action.

This wasn't about to bite each other; this was clearly about to fight.

His words made Blood Eagle frown, and he could only say: "Eyesore; otherwise, shall we go out and chat?"

"Okay." Qing Jian said with a smile, and walked out first.

Blood Eagle followed behind, walking one after another towards the entrance of the ruined temple.

When Qing Jian crossed the threshold of the ruined temple, Blood Eagle suddenly rose up to ambush.

Qing Jian had long been prepared and fought back.

The two fought directly, and Da Bao's tearing claws instinctively opened, protecting Chu Danqing tightly behind it.

The sword energy and gang energy that spread were intertwined, and were blocked by Da Bao with the power of blood rage.

And because the battle spread to Chu Danqing, Da Bai directly regarded the two as enemies, and the home-protecting aura effect took effect.

These two people immediately received control debuffs formed by the two spiritual arts of "Evil Words" and "Evil Curse," all attributes reduced by 0.02, and were simultaneously hung with a low-profile version of weakness.

The intensity wasn't high, but it came suddenly.

Forcing the two to separate instantly.

The two turned their gazes to Chu Danqing at the same time.

"Don't look at me; I'm just a summoning-series apostle and am not good at fighting."

"So I left myself some protection; I suggest you go out and fight if you want to fight." Chu Danqing said straightforwardly.

He was more inclined towards PVE; as long as the apostles didn't provoke him, he wouldn't take the initiative to provoke other apostles.

But this didn't mean he couldn't PVP; all the summoned entities under his command were good at fighting.

Qing Jian didn't speak; with a point of her foot, sword energy followed her, and she evacuated the ruined temple at an extremely fast speed.

Seeing this, Blood Eagle summoned a flame horse, flipped onto the horse, and chased after her.

"What kind of hatred and resentment is this, to fight in the promotion assessment." Chu Danqing muttered.

This batch of six apostles, including him, were all A-rank difficulty promotion assessments.

Looking at this appearance, it was an endless fight; it was impossible for it not to affect the mission later.

And after the other apostles knew about this, they would inevitably be wary of these two people.

"It will be much better when I reach Rank One." Chu Danqing knew that during the reserve stage, apostles were all deployed uniformly.

After the authority was improved, conventional trials would give further preferential treatment according to identity, which meant that every apostle would land in a different location because of their different identities.

Reserve-tier is equivalent to an internship, so naturally, it's impossible to give too many advantages.

After searching, Chu Danqing gained nothing.

"No, there are no starting supplies." Chu Danqing complained.

In the last trial, he at least managed to touch a map of the mountain search; this time, there was really nothing.

As for the other apostles, they had long since left.

"Then the problem now is... how to get to Linyuan City?" Chu Danqing left the ruined temple and looked at the environment outside, not knowing which way to go for a moment.

There was indeed a road right now, but the road had two ends.

How would he know which end to go to.

"Little Chu, that... side." Da Bao pointed the direction for Chu Danqing: "Human smell, drifting on the road, more."

"Go!" Chu Danqing decisively chose to believe Da Bao.

Although his perception was equivalent to Da Bao's, Da Bao had animal instinct to amplify perception efficiency, and its physiological structure also had advantages over Chu Danqing's.

Chu Danqing thought for a moment and chose to summon the Beast-Faced Chariot.

【You consumed: 300-10% (Life Dao Foundation) -10 (Command Foundation) = 260 Mana to summon the Three-Armor Four-Drive; every minute will consume 30-10% (Life Dao Foundation) -10 (Command Foundation) = 17 to maintain the existence of the Three-Armor Four-Drive】

A beast-faced bronze chariot emerged, with four sturdy and strong warhorses pulling the chariot at the front.

Three beast-faced armored warriors stood on the chariot.

The armored warrior on the left held a bow, responsible for shooting.

It was precisely the previous repeating crossbowman, but he had changed his profession now.

The armored warrior on the right held a ge (dagger-axe), mainly for stabbing, to clear obstacles for the chariot.

The one driving the chariot in the middle was the charioteer, with a short sword at his waist.

When he drew his sword, it meant the enemy had already reached the chariot.

Chu Danqing climbed onto the chariot directly: "Follow this road and go forward."

The chariot space was limited; it was fine after Chu Danqing got on, but adding a Da Bao wasn't enough.

However, Da Bao didn't mind; anyway, it was used to walking.

Its physique couldn't do it whether it was sitting in a carriage or riding a horse.

It was too heavy and too bulky, so it couldn't use most means of transportation.

Unless Chu Danqing drove a truck or a modified bus.
