A pack of skull monkeys—no one knows where they came from, but they’re tied to the Dongbeast.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing’s expression didn’t change: “Is that Dongbeast the previous village guardian?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No,” the village chief denied. “It was the strongest guardian before him.” He delivered the bad news: “So it became the Dongshen’s priest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When the bloodline awakens, human reason gradually fades until the guardian inevitably returns to the back mountain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There can be only one Dongbeast. When two meet, only one survives.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you plan to abandon Da Bao and create another village guardian,” Chu Danqing said bluntly, using the word “create.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wrong,” the village chief replied gently. “If you can resolve Luohua Cave, there will be no more village guardians, no more sacrifices.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like a kind old man suddenly revealing his dark side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What about Da Bao?” Chu Danqing’s gaze settled on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He is a hero of our village. His name will be enshrined in the ancestral hall with incense offerings,” the village chief stated plainly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing had never felt this angry before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their kindness toward Da Bao was nothing but care for a tool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the tool became useless, they discarded it without a trace of emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m taking Da Bao with me to resolve Luohua Cave,” Chu Danqing said coldly, his face utterly devoid of warmth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The village chief showed no surprise: “Fine—as long as he wakes up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And let me remind you—even if his Dongshen bloodline hasn’t fully awakened, encountering the Dongbeast priest will mean a fight to the death.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Taking him to the back mountain is a liability.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing ignored him entirely: “This is my affair. You don’t need to concern yourself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you have nothing else, arrange the supplies and personnel I requested as soon as possible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, don’t forget my reward for luring out and killing the Bai Long fish.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He disliked the man’s methods, but it wasn’t yet time to break ties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Very well,” the village chief said. “Supplies and personnel will be ready tomorrow. The reward will take a little longer—I’ll give it to you the day after.” He noticed Chu Danqing’s shift in attitude but wasn’t surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, the village chief left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing stood before Da Bao’s bed: “What kind of situation is this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never intended to form a bond with Da Bao from the start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he had the chance—the Xianghua villagers no longer had use for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bai Long fish carried faint true dragon blood; Da Bao was the Dongshen’s child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Da Bao was unconscious—he couldn’t give his consent. With only goodwill and attribute disparity, the bonding success rate was low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bonding scroll had only one durability point—meaning only one chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he failed, he’d lose all means of bonding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qi and blood deficiency is real—the bloodline awakening requires more nourishment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The flesh and blood of the Bai Long fish Da Bao consumed weren’t enough to sustain his recovery or even wake him to eat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To wake him, he needs sufficient nourishment,” Chu Danqing said, then pulled out wolf blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pried open Da Bao’s mouth and poured it in; soon, all of it was swallowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, thin threads of crimson energy rose from Da Bao’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recognized it—the same energy that had surrounded the Bai Long fish when it unleashed its water surge technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t expected Da Bao, after consuming the Bai Long fish’s flesh, to produce this crimson energy—and it seemed to have mutated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It appeared linked to his ability to grow stronger when enraged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not enough,” Chu Danqing said, watching Da Bao remain unconscious. He knew wolf blood alone wouldn’t wake him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d given the wolf blood without hesitation because it was a slow-recovery consumable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the remaining secondary fish marrow blood was different—it restored 10% of maximum HP instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he used it and still failed to bond with Da Bao, the sunk cost would be too great—he couldn’t afford it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing gritted his teeth and finally pulled out the secondary fish marrow blood, feeding it to Da Bao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can’t catch a wolf without sacrificing a child—he still had the Bai Long fish as backup, and the trial quest had room for adjustment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Dongshen’s child, Da Bao’s potential and ceiling far surpassed the Bai Long fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was clear from the fact that even consuming most of the Bai Long fish hadn’t been enough to sustain the Dongshen bloodline’s awakening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crimson energy surged thickly. Da Bao’s eyes snapped open, bloodshot, radiating fury and rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately suppressed it, looked at Chu Danqing, and rasped: “Xiao Chu, I’m hungry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, wait. I’ll go to the village chief and get you food—eat as much as you want,” Chu Danqing said, choosing not to speak of matters yet, instead focusing on restoring his nourishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he reached the door, Da Bao spoke: “Xiao Chu, I heard what you and the chief said.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing froze, then replied with one word: “Good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1151,"2026-06-20T00:54:40.605Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","13e7bddd9fb477475cc280b66b1213e72a0fcb00dc5a33a73e19f20edfb44994","dimension-park-i-am-the-summoning-apostle-chapter-16","dimension-park-i-am-the-summoning-apostle-chapter-14",305,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdimension-park-i-am-the-summoning-apostle-cover.jpg"]
