Chapter 208

【Mission completed, you have obtained: Paradise Points × 1000, Attribute Point +1】

The giant-like corpses that made up the Corpse Centipede collapsed, smashing into a mess when they hit the ground, turning into a pool of foul-smelling pus.

An Excellent-tier treasure chest appeared on it, which was dragged back by Da Bao.

Chu Danqing put it into his storage space and played with the Centipede Pearl in his hand.

【Corpse Centipede Pearl】

【Type: Material/Consumable】

【Quality: Excellent】

【Effect 1: Can be used for potion, food, and related production】

【Effect 2: After use, can summon a Corpse Centipede to fight for you, lasting 10 minutes; the Corpse Centipede Pearl will shatter after use】

"Mr. Zhong, don't mind if I keep the Centipede Pearl here first," Chu Danqing spoke first.

Mainly because the two were strangers, and Zhong Ting had always shown a passive attitude.

Chu Danqing was worried that if he gave the Centipede Pearl to the other party, he would play a disappearing act on Chu Danqing, which would be troublesome.

He didn't have a heart to harm others, but he had to have a heart to guard against them.

Especially since it involved his own talent mission, being cautious wouldn't go wrong.

After all, currently only Zhong Ting might know where the Yuanping King's tomb is.

"I don't mind," Zhong Ting's expression didn't change; he had been mentally prepared for this when the Centipede Pearl fell into Chu Danqing's hands.

"When we reach the entrance of the Yuanping King's tomb, we'll trade money for goods," Chu Danqing didn't need the Centipede Pearl.

He wouldn't choose to deliberately pocket this pearl.

"Fine, then let's set off," Zhong Ting said immediately.

Chu Danqing naturally had no objections and handed the mountain map to the other party.

"Don't need it, go west."

"One of my senior uncles went there once."

"He found it, but was blocked by the tomb-guarding beast at the entrance and didn't dare to go in," Zhong Ting explained: "Later, he mentioned this to us."

"I don't know what the situation is like, but I can help you find the general location."

He hadn't been there either, so he could only take it one step at a time.

In fact, the plan had already exceeded his expectations.

The original plan was actually to cooperate with Chu Danqing and then find a way to take the Centipede Pearl.

As for the location of the Yuanping King's tomb, he was just pointing the way and didn't intend to really follow along.

After all, the item was already in hand, why risk it again?

In his view, he was already very conscientious; if it were someone else in these deep mountains and old forests, they would just kill you and throw you away.

Unexpectedly, Chu Danqing was much stronger than him; not only did his plan go bankrupt, but the Centipede Pearl also fell into the other party's hands.

"How many days will it take?" Chu Danqing asked the key question.

"My senior uncle said he walked for about three days, but he had gotten lost before, so it should actually be shorter."

"Generally speaking, first find the Golden Dragon Temple, then walk along the Yellow Dragon River, and you'll be there," Zhong Ting paused here and continued: "It's at the bottom of the river."

"I don't know the exact location."

"But my senior uncle said there was a problem under the tomb."

Hearing this, Chu Danqing was also puzzled.

Zhong Ting said under the tomb, not the tomb itself.

It's normal for there to be a problem; after all, it's an S-rank talent mission.

"Specifically?" Chu Danqing hurriedly asked in detail.

"Not very clear, he ran away after seeing the problem," Zhong Ting indicated that his senior uncle also ran away.

"So your caution is inherited," Chu Danqing replied speechlessly.

Zhong Ting just smiled at this and didn't care about Chu Danqing's statement.

"At our pace, we should be able to reach the Golden Dragon Temple before dark," Zhong Ting changed the subject: "I just hope we don't encounter any ominous things on the way..."

"Why do both of these have the word 'dragon'?" Chu Danqing discovered a common point.

However, Zhong Ting didn't know this either, and could only shake his head: "Perhaps it's because the Vast Guling buried too many emperors."

"Since ancient times, dragons have had an inextricable relationship with emperors."

Zhong Ting's business and influence were not in the Vast Guling; this time was also an accident, so he didn't have much research.

"Actually..." Zhong Ting paused here, considered his wording, and said: "Those warlord soldiers might also be here to find the dragon."

"They might have even found something, but couldn't bring it out and even lost their lives."

As the two talked, they had already gone down the mountain.

Under Zhong Ting's leadership, they climbed over another mountain.

The Vast Guling is mountain after mountain, with the mountains rising and falling like dragon scales.

"The Yuanping tomb is in the Vast Guling; the compass is useless, and we can only rely on the sun, moon, and stars for identification."

"If you don't have real skills, it's easy to get in, but hard to get out," Zhong Ting was precisely because of this reason that he had always resisted entering it.

Chu Danqing took out a compass, and sure enough, the magnetic field was chaotic.

It's no wonder the warlords couldn't get in; if a plane flew over, it would probably have problems.

So they could only send people into the mountains to search by physical means.

Zhong Ting said, suddenly stopped, observed the surroundings carefully, and then said: "If nothing goes wrong, we can reach the Golden Dragon Temple after climbing over this mountain."

"However, the Golden Dragon Temple has long had no monks, and given the current situation, it's very likely to have been occupied by ominous things."

"At that time, Young Master Chu, you will need to take action to clear it out."

Chu Danqing naturally had no opinion on Zhong Ting's words and nodded: "Don't worry, leave it to me."

He naturally hoped that Zhong Ting wouldn't take action, otherwise wouldn't he lose the treasure chest?

Now he had two Excellent-tier treasure chests in his storage space, one from the previous Blind Servants, and the other from the Corpse Centipede.

Excellent-tier is really uninteresting; it's not too late to open them after gathering a batch.

If it were changed to Fine-tier, he could choose to open it immediately; whether it's equipment or Paradise Points, they could be used as motivation.

"Why aren't we moving?" Chu Danqing finished speaking and asked again.

The observation is done, can't we just climb up now?

"Those grave robbers," Zhong Ting said, pulling a Grave Robber Talisman from a hidden bush nearby.

It was also stained with obvious blood.

"The blood is very fresh; it should be from dawn to morning today," Zhong Ting smelled it and said again: "They didn't die at the hands of the Corpse Centipede."

"And they successfully went down the mountain and escaped; it looks like they are heading toward the Golden Dragon Temple."

"And something is chasing them."

"Young Master Chu, what do you think?" Zhong Ting handed the Grave Robber Talisman to Chu Danqing.

Zhong Ting is a descendant of the Kui Star Kicking the Dipper, not a grave robber; he belongs to those who rely on their own skills to make a living, like a geomancy master.

In addition to taking on rituals, Zhong Ting's main business is also a private school teacher.

"What can I think? Let's go over and see," Chu Danqing was a newcomer and didn't know much.

His own trial mission was also to rob a tomb, so he couldn't condemn others.

"You people in this line of work, the circle shouldn't be big, right?" Chu Danqing asked: "Maybe you know who it is."

Being asked by Chu Danqing, Zhong Ting replied speechlessly: "Young Master Chu, I am a decent person and don't rob tombs."

"I don't work in that line with them."

"Besides, these grave robbers are either short-lived or have no descendants; the better ones have sons without eyes."

"Digging up ancestors' graves for profit, you can't avoid being entangled with bad luck and having no good end in your life."

As a decent person, Zhong Ting looked down on the four major sects of grave robbing.

It's normal for ordinary people to look down on criminals.

Chu Danqing was slightly embarrassed; he could have condemned them before.

Now he couldn't, because he was also going to take things from the Yuanping King's tomb for his own profit.

"Cough, let's not talk about this," this time it was Chu Danqing's turn to change the subject: "Let's set off quickly."

Zhong Ting also sensed his slip of the tongue, could only stuff the Grave Robber Talisman into his bosom, and then led the way in front.

This thing can restrain ominous things to a certain extent, but its power is relatively limited.

But it's still quite difficult for ordinary people to get such an authentic Grave Robber Talisman.

Since he picked it up, he'll keep it for self-protection.

Chu Danqing also had a Grave Robber Talisman, but its deterrent power was not as good as Da Bao's.

Since it had no attributes, it could only gather dust.

Just as they climbed to the middle of the mountain, they heard an eagle cry.

Chu Danqing and Zhong Ting didn't care much, but Da Bao stopped and carefully examined the eagle above his head.

"Little Chu, bird, looking, you," Da Bao said immediately and activated the Ripping Claws.

Hearing this, Chu Danqing looked up at the eagle.

Because it was flying too high, he could only see a small black dot circling.

"Alive? What's the situation?" Chu Danqing couldn't understand; his first thought was other apostles.

The black dot magnified instantly, which meant the other party was diving down.

As it gradually approached, Chu Danqing finally saw the appearance of the giant eagle.

A giant eagle with a wingspan of five meters, its sharp claws grabbed toward his head.

Da Bao reacted faster; before the giant eagle could grab Chu Danqing, he pounced over.

The sharp claws penetrated the giant eagle's feathers and landed in the flesh, pouncing it to the other side.

It crashed directly into a tree not far away, and then stopped.

Although the giant eagle was pinned down, it turned over and began to shrink, actually transforming into a leopard.

"Transformation?" Chu Danqing didn't hesitate and cast a Spirit Sight Art directly.

【Rank 1 Dimensional Apostle】

【Attributes】

【HP: 87%】

【???】

Much stronger than himself; he could only see the HP attribute.

He didn't know if it was because of the attribute difference after transformation or if its attributes were higher than his own.

After turning into a leopard, it dodged past Da Bao and rushed toward Chu Danqing; during this period, colorful patterns gradually covered it, and its size began to grow.

The other party transformed from a leopard into a tiger in the process of approaching.

Then Yue Lan Wu Ying picked up the totem and swept it across directly.

On the spot, it slapped the tiger to the side.

Then it stuck the totem into the ground, the four elemental spirits circled its fists, and it raised its fists and smashed them onto the tiger's forehead.

With one punch, it knocked the apostle who had transformed into a tiger dizzy.
