Chapter 210: Corpse Demon Golden Dragon Temple
"Drink, let's drink together!" Several drunken grave robbers sat in the Mahavira Hall, holding beautiful women dressed in thin gauze in their arms.
As soon as Chu Danqing and Zhong Ting entered, they attracted the attention of these people.
The original drunkenness was immediately suppressed, and their expressions became alert.
"Night owls pass over Old Crow Ridge; may I ask which path of the Yin Banner you are treading?" The leader of the grave robbers stood up and asked.
Nine out of ten people who come to this Cangmang Guling are here for tombs, so asking in underworld slang is to see which faction they belong to.
If they were also from the Touching Gold faction, they could cooperate a bit.
"Kui Xing Kicks the Dipper, monopolizing the top." Zhong Ting cupped his hands and replied with eight words.
He wasn't a grave robber, so naturally, he didn't need to reply in underworld slang.
Upon hearing this, the group of grave robbers' expressions shifted from alert to vigilant.
They had heard of Kui Xing Kicking the Dipper, but had never seen it.
"So you aren't people of the trade, excuse me." The leading grave robber also returned a polite gesture and continued: "We are not the masters of this place either, you two please feel free."
Chu Danqing didn't care about these few grave robbers; they were the type Da Bao could kill with one claw.
The problem is... where did this group of women come from?
Judging from their fair skin, they clearly weren't girls from ordinary families.
There are villages on the outskirts of the Cangmang Guling, but they are all commoners who work at sunrise and rest at sunset.
How could they afford to maintain such good skin?
Secondly, what decent person would wear this kind of transparent thin gauze when going out?
Zhong Ting also sensed something strange; pretty as they were, they didn't look like people who should appear here at all.
"Everyone, this group of women is...?" Zhong Ting asked.
"Oh, they are young ladies from wealthy families who came to worship Buddha, and we just happened to run into them." The leading grave robber said without a care: "Just right for us brothers to have some fun."
As soon as these words came out, Chu Danqing knew that these few people were likely bewitched.
Zhong Ting also had this thought; with the ability of this group of grave robbers to escape from the Corpse Centipede, how could they lack this bit of vigilance?
It was highly likely that their minds were bewitched after entering the temple gate.
Seeing this, Chu Danqing gave Da Bao a gesture, indicating to act directly.
Zhong Ting still wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Da Bao's direct action.
Da Bao erupted, twisting the neck of the nearest grave robber in one go.
"Da Bao, I told you to kill these women." Chu Danqing held his forehead, saying helplessly: "Forget it, they aren't good things either, kill them all together."
This group of people was indeed bewitched to behave in such an absurd manner, but they also had such conduct and thoughts to begin with, which is why they were bewitched.
Chu Danqing and Zhong Ting didn't have such thoughts, so they weren't affected upon entering.
This scene directly triggered chaos; those women ran toward the back of the temple in a panic, their speed so fast that the grave robbers didn't even react.
"You bastards, you've got the guts of a bear and the heart of a leopard, daring to act presumptuously in front of me!" The leading grave robber slapped the table, stood up abruptly, and drew a knife to fight Da Bao to the death.
As a result, just as he rushed over, he was torn apart by one of Da Bao's claws.
Under normal mental conditions, panic would appear at this stage.
But this group of grave robbers didn't feel any fear; instead, they swarmed over, rushing toward Da Bao as if they weren't afraid of death.
Under Da Bao's sharp claws, every single one of them was killed cleanly.
"Little Chu, blood, stinky." Da Bao said with helplessness in his tone after killing them all.
After death, the blood flowing from the grave robbers turned into a black, thick substance, emitting an extremely strong stench.
"It's not a problem with the temple, it's a problem with them themselves." Zhong Ting scanned the corpses and said with a serious expression: "It's from the same source as those warlord soldiers."
This means this group of grave robbers came from the same place as the previous warlord soldiers, and might even belong to the same faction.
"The Touching Gold Amulet let them hold on for one more day; even if they hadn't died at the hands of the Corpse Centipede and the Golden Dragon Temple, they wouldn't have lived until tomorrow." Zhong Ting said after carefully examining a corpse.
"However, it's not that there's no chance; as long as they could escape the Cangmang Guling before the Zi hour tomorrow, they wouldn't necessarily die."
"Unfortunately, they ran in the wrong direction."
The pursuit of the Corpse Centipede made them lose their way.
They had already reached the outskirts of the Cangmang Guling, but instead, they went deeper and deeper.
"Then what's going on with the Golden Dragon Temple?" Chu Danqing asked.
"This old monk thanks all you heroes for your help, which has spared this temple from disaster." An old monk wearing a bright red cassock ran over from the back.
The whole person was very thin, thin to the point of looking like a skeleton wrapped in skin, which was very creepy.
Before he could get close to them, Zhong Ting acted first, lifting his foot and kicking toward the old monk's waist.
Kui Xing Kicking the Dipper is best at three aspects.
The first is kicking technique, the second is fighting large fierce creatures, and the last is stepping on heads.
The so-called "monopolizing the top" means kicking your dog head to pieces; the larger the body, the higher the damage.
With one kick, the old monk's waist was directly shattered, and the upper half of his body flew out due to the great force.
Landing on the ground, one could clearly see the withered flesh and blood from the cross-section, while the bones were covered with certain maggots, constantly wriggling.
"Corpse Demon." Zhong Ting said immediately.
"What kind of thing is that?" Chu Danqing hadn't heard of it, but he roughly understood the situation of this trial world.
Most of the raw materials for monsters are human corpses, so it's normal to have the word "corpse" in them.
"Old monk, old monk..." The old monk wobbled and used his arms to prop up half of his body, the whites of his eyes occupying his entire eyeballs.
【Hidden Task: Clean up the Golden Dragon Temple Corpse Demon】
【Trial Difficulty: C-level (Adventure)】
【Trial Reward: Paradise Points x2000, Attribute Points +2】
【Trial Failure: Paradise Points -4000】
The Paradise task also refreshed, and Chu Danqing accepted it casually.
The C-level difficulty isn't high, just a bit stronger than the Corpse Centipede.
"A place turned into a demon domain is a Corpse Demon."
"The old monk isn't the culprit, just the bait for the Corpse Demon here, same logic as that group of women."
"Just a group of puppets." Zhong Ting said, then retreated rapidly: "Let's withdraw from the Golden Dragon Temple first."
Chu Danqing understood as soon as he heard it; it turns out the "Golden Dragon Temple Corpse Demon" in the task refers to the Golden Dragon Temple itself, not a phrase break like "Golden Dragon Temple, Corpse Demon".
Just as they retreated into the temple courtyard, they saw a layer of black thin gauze covering the entire Golden Dragon Temple.
And within the surface layer of the black thin gauze, a layer resembling human meridians emerged, wriggling while emitting a foul stench.
This was preparing to trap them all here to catch them like turtles in a jar.
"The demon domain is formed, it's difficult now." Zhong Ting's expression became extremely ugly.
His Kui Xing Kicking the Dipper had reached the hall, and he had an advantage when kicking the Corpse Centipede, but he was truly powerless when facing the Corpse Demon.
Especially since he was trapped in the demon domain.
From the black meridians, human skins were squeezed out one after another.
They had seen these human skins; they were exactly the beautiful women the grave robbers had been holding in their arms earlier.
Now that they were spread out like this, not only could they not see any beauty, but it was instead nauseating.
While the human skins circled and danced in the air, they constantly descended toward them.
And from the Mahavira Hall behind them, intense movements also came.
The Buddha statue constructed from the corpses of withered monks was crawling on all fours.
However, because its body was too large, it looked more like it was being squeezed out of the Mahavira Hall rather than crawling out.
"Senior uncle, oh senior uncle, if you had taken a look when you passed by the Golden Dragon Temple back then, you wouldn't have left me without any preparation." A bitter expression appeared on Zhong Ting's face.
This time, he was afraid he was going to die here.
Back then, his senior uncle had also sensed that the Golden Dragon Temple was unusual, so he knew of such a place, but didn't go in.
"Actually, it's okay. Which one are you prepared to deal with?" Chu Danqing asked.
Upon hearing this, Zhong Ting reached out and pointed at the monk corpse behind him.
Chu Danqing was a bit surprised; he had originally thought Zhong Ting would choose the human-skin women.
He didn't expect him to choose the monk corpse, which looked more like a BOSS.
"Good, leave the rest to me." Chu Danqing said, preparing to let Da Bao go.
It's only C-level; Da Bao going is enough, Yue Lan Wu Ying is responsible for protecting him, and the Son of Heaven and the Ghost Grievance Mother continue to act as trump cards.
As for the Beast-Faced Armored Warrior, let's just use him as a means of transportation for now.
"Da Bai, pay attention to pulling the blood lines for me and them." Chu Danqing said, taking out blood-drawing equipment again.
This was to continue stacking the attack percentage of the Blood Sacrifice Magic Blade for Da Bao.
He wanted to hone Da Bao, but that didn't mean he wanted to intentionally suppress his strength.
On the contrary, he wanted him to adapt to the amplification; otherwise, if his attack power suddenly doubled, he would definitely not be used to it.
Chu Danqing wanted to make the Blood Sacrifice Magic Blade's attack power a permanent 100% amplification in the future; now is just the right time to adapt, saving the trouble of adapting later.
On the other side, Chu Danqing saw Zhong Ting squat down and directly untie the iron shoes on his feet.
Inside the iron shoes was a pair of cloth shoes; they weren't anything good, just ordinary cloth shoes.
However, without the burden of the iron shoes' weight, Zhong Ting turned into an afterimage in an instant, stepping on the ground and leaping fiercely onto the head of the monk corpse.
"Monopolizing the top!"
After landing on the monk corpse's head, he lifted his right foot and kicked fiercely toward the skull of the monk corpse, which was composed of a large number of withered monk corpses.
With one kick, the entire skull immediately fell apart, scattering all over the ground.
And Zhong Ting turned around, using the monk corpse as a point of leverage, and landed on the monk corpse's body again.
Seeing this scene, Chu Danqing also felt surprised.
"Triple special attack?" With his knowledge base plus a bit of Feng Shui knowledge, Chu Danqing saw some clues.
Special attack against fierce creatures, special attack against large body types, special attack against skulls.
After the damage of the three special attacks stacked, he kicked the monk corpse's head to pieces with one kick.
But unfortunately, the monk corpse was just a puppet controlled by the Corpse Demon; although the blow was effective, the fallen withered monk corpses slowly stood up.
Wobbling, they climbed back onto the monk corpse.
"Leave the rest to you, Brother Chu." After Zhong Ting landed, he could only pin his hopes on Chu Danqing.
