Chapter 21: Return

Whether Da Bao's decision was correct or not, Chu Danqing didn't know.

One thing he could be sure of was that Da Bao was far from being the Falling Flower Girl's opponent.

If the Bai Longyu and the Cave Beast Priest were elite monsters, then the Falling Flower Girl was definitely a boss.

Chu Danqing saw with his own eyes a fair and slender female arm stretch out from the mud grease, easily crushing Da Bao's claws.

Regardless of Strength or Agility, she completely crushed Da Bao.

Da Bao's original 100% HP dropped to 65% on the spot.

And Da Bao activated the active effect of the Wolf Tooth Necklace for the first time; a wolf soul appeared and let out a howl.

This was something Chu Danqing gave to Da Bao; leaving it in his own hands, the 1-second stun wasn't of much use.

But for Da Bao, it was crucial.

The wolf soul's howl formed visible ripples that vibrated out, landing on the mud grease, causing it to pause slightly before recovering.

It only blocked it for a moment; it didn't last for 1 second at all before the enemy acted again.

Chu Danqing wasn't surprised; from the beginning, the Dimension Paradise had reminded him that the actual duration would fluctuate due to the enemy's strength, equipment, etc.

It wasn't that if the description said 1 second, it would really last for 1 second; if it were that powerful, it would be a conceptual level.

What ability did the teeth of an old wolf and a crippled wolf have to achieve that?

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Da Bao quickly opened up the distance to delay time as much as possible.

What happened afterward, Chu Danqing didn't see, because he had already turned and run.

If he didn't die, he could resurrect Da Bao again.

Actually, he wasn't just running; he was constantly paying attention to Da Bao's attribute panel.

About fifteen seconds later, Da Bao took another hit, his HP dropped directly from 65% to 25%, and he entered a Berserk state.

If he took another hit, Da Bao would really die.

Fortunately, the long thirty-second countdown finally returned to zero.

【The deceased has completed the Reserve Trial mission, beginning return...】

Chu Danqing's eyes blurred, and the surrounding scene changed.

【Transmission complete, Reserve Apostle returning to Apostle Personal Space】

【Apostle Personal Space is an absolutely safe area; other Apostles cannot enter without permission.】

【You have unlocked Apostle Number: 9999090919】

【Number registration complete, beginning settlement of this Reserve Trial mission】

【Trial Area: Xianghua Village】

【Trial Difficulty: F (Extremely Easy)】

【Extra compensation takes effect, settlement evaluation +1】

【Comprehensive Evaluation: A】

【Obtained Rewards: Paradise Coins × 5000, Attribute Points + 2】

【Detected permanent summon: Brutal Beast · Child of the Cave's vital signs are unstable, do you want to start repair?】

"Start, start it for me immediately." Chu Danqing looked at Da Bao, who was rushing over having lost his sanity due to the Berserk state; if he were a moment later, Da Bao would really gnaw on him.

The Dimension Paradise was fast enough; Da Bao in mid-air was directly bound by a beam of light, and peculiar light particles surged into Da Bao's body along the beam, repairing his injuries.

"My comprehensive evaluation is a bit embarrassing; others start at SSS-tier at the lowest, and I'm only B-tier." Chu Danqing couldn't help but mock himself.

Being able to reach A-tier was thanks to the compensation.

However, he wasn't very surprised; after all, in the entire trial, he didn't have many eye-catching achievements.

He guessed that to reach A-tier normally, he would have to kill the Bai Longyu and its offspring without external help.

This part was killed before contracting Da Bao; Chu Danqing had some credit in it, which added points but not many.

Secondly, Da Bao might also have to be killed; killing him after he turned into a Cave Beast, Chu Danqing directly contracted him away, so this item was highly likely to be full marks.

【Repair complete, this time consumed Paradise Points × 550】

Charging, Chu Danqing wasn't surprised. After becoming a Reserve Apostle, Chu Danqing unlocked many new permissions and also obtained corresponding Paradise common sense.

Like after leaving the personal room, outside is the Paradise Square, where Dimension Apostles can trade and buy and sell.

There were also some special buildings, such as attribute point addition, skill improvement, attribute enhancement, etc., all of which needed to be carried out in these buildings.

For example, he had thirty days of rest time; after thirty days, he would enter the trial world again to complete the trial mission.

"Lived, came down." Da Bao looked at his hands with joy, feeling it was particularly unreal.

When he returned, his left arm was broken from the root, half of his face was shattered, and there were even multiple fractures and missing flesh and blood.

Being able to survive really relied on his Blood Rage power and his Constitution as high as 9 points.

"You rest for a while, I'll open the Cave Beast Priest's treasure chest, and we'll go to the square to see later." Chu Danqing was very curious, but he wasn't in a hurry.

【You have opened: Treasure Chest (Excellent Tier), obtained: Grudge of the Kin-Eater, White Velvet Robe, Paradise Points × 2500】

——

【Grudge of the Kin-Eater】

【Type: Equipment · Long Blade】

【Quality: Excellent】

【Durability: 100/100】

【Attack Power: 15~20】

【Kin Wail (Passive): Deals an additional 10 points of damage when attacking.】

【Equipment Requirement: Strength 10, Constitution 10】

——

【White Velvet Robe】

【Type: Equipment · Robe】

【Quality: Excellent】

【Durability: 100/100】

【Defense: 10】

【Beast Sacrifice (Passive): Energy limit + 10】

【Equipment Requirement: None】

——

"Ah?" Chu Danqing looked at the rewards opened from the excellent-tier treasure chest and was truly at a loss for a moment.

He had never thought he could open so many rewards; shouldn't it just be one green piece of equipment plus 1000 Paradise Points?

"The Cave Beast Priest is indeed strong, but not to this extent."

"So it's because of kill contribution or participation?" Chu Danqing compared the Bai Longyu's treasure chest and the Cave Beast's treasure chest.

When killing the Bai Longyu, Da Bao was a native, and other villagers helped together.

But the Cave Beast Priest was counted as his independent kill; summons belonged to a part of the Apostle.

"Can you use it?" Chu Danqing handed the Grudge of the Kin-Eater to Da Bao.

Da Bao shook his head. "Can't, claws are easy to use."

"Then it can only be sold." Chu Danqing didn't feel sorry; he couldn't use it either. This blade had higher requirements than the horse-spear.

"Then find someone to sew the Silver Scale Cloud Brocade lining into the White Velvet Robe."

The White Velvet Robe was definitely for Chu Danqing's own use; Da Bao couldn't equip it; only specific equipment could he use.

As for who to find, there was no need to worry. The Paradise common sense given to him by the Dimension Paradise said that besides Dimension Apostles, there were also Life Apostles.

They were good at life-type skills, and there were three origins: those with special talents being directly conscripted, Dimension Apostles voluntarily converting their identities, and those with too many trial failures leading to negative Paradise Points or a total of five-dimensional attributes lower than 10 points.

Life Apostles didn't need to participate in trials and wouldn't leave the Dimension Paradise, so there was no life threat.

The price was that they could only provide services to the Dimension Paradise for a lifetime.
