All of you drink!” Several drunken tomb raiders sat inside the Great Hero Hall, each surrounded by beautiful women clad in thin gauze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Chu Danqing and Zhong Ting entered, the men immediately noticed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their drunkenness vanished instantly; their expressions sharpened with alertness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Night cats crossing Old Crow Ridge—may I ask which shadow banner you tread?” The leader of the tomb raiders rose and spoke first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of those who come to Cangmang Ancient Ridge, nine out of ten are here for tombs, so asking in underworld slang identifies their faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they were fellow Jinmo sect members, cooperation might be possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kui Star kicks the Dipper, claims the Ao head alone,” Zhong Ting bowed and replied with eight characters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t a tomb raider; he had no need to reply in underworld code.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the tomb raiders’ expressions shifted from alert to wary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had heard of Kui Star kicks the Dipper—but never seen it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you’re not from the trade. My apologies,” the leader returned a polite bow and continued: “We’re not the masters here. You two may go your way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing didn’t care about these tomb raiders—they were nothing but trash Big Bao could crush with one claw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The problem was: where did these women come from?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From their pale skin, it was obvious they weren’t ordinary girls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The outer edges of Cangmang Ancient Ridge had villages, but their people lived by sunrise labor and sunset rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could they afford such flawless skin?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, who in their right mind would go out wearing such sheer, transparent gauze?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Ting also sensed something odd. Beautiful as they were, these women didn’t belong here at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gentlemen, who are these women?” Zhong Ting asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, they’re noble ladies come to pay respects to the Buddha—luckily, we ran into them,” the leader said carelessly. “Let us have some fun.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, Chu Danqing knew these men had been bewitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Ting felt the same. With the skill these tomb raiders showed to escape the Corpse Centipede, how could they lack basic caution?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was highly likely their minds had been clouded after entering the temple gates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Chu Danqing signaled Big Bao to strike immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Ting opened his mouth to speak—but Big Bao acted first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Big Bao surged forward, snapping the neck of the nearest tomb raider in one motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big Bao, I told you to kill these women!” Chu Danqing rubbed his forehead, exasperated. “Never mind—they’re no good either. Kill them all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These men were indeed bewitched into such absurd behavior—but they’d only been ensnared because they’d already entertained such thoughts and deeds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing and Zhong Ting held no such thoughts; they entered untouched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This triggered chaos. The women panicked and fled toward the temple’s rear, moving so swiftly the tomb raiders couldn’t react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Filthy bastards! Who gave you the guts to defy me?!” The leader slammed his table and leapt up, drawing his blade to charge Big Bao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d barely rushed forward when Big Bao tore him apart with one claw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under normal mental conditions, panic would set in at this stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these tomb raiders showed no fear—they surged forward like corpses unafraid of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Big Bao’s claws, one by one, they all died clean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little Chu, blood, stinks,” Big Bao said, voice tinged with annoyance after finishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood oozing from the dead tomb raiders turned thick and black, emitting a powerful stench.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not the temple’s fault— theirs,” Zhong Ting scanned the corpses, his expression grim. “Same origin as those warlord soldiers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant the tomb raiders emerged from the same place as the earlier soldiers—possibly even belonged to the same faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Jinmo talismans bought them one more day. Even if they escaped the Corpse Centipede and Jinlong Temple, they wouldn’t live till tomorrow,” Zhong Ting said, examining a corpse closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still, there’s a chance—if you escape Cangmang Ancient Ridge before midnight, you won’t die.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Too bad—they ran the wrong way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Corpse Centipede’s pursuit had disoriented them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’d already reached the outer edge of Cangmang Ancient Ridge—yet ended up going deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s going on with Jinlong Temple?” Chu Danqing asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The old monk thanks you heroes for your intervention, sparing our temple this calamity!” A senior monk in a bright red kasaya rushed up from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was emaciated—skin stretched over bone, a walking skeleton, deeply unsettling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could approach, Zhong Ting moved first, kicking hard at the monk’s waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kui Star kicks the Dipper excels in three areas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First: kicking techniques. Second: fighting large monstrous entities. Third: stomping on heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Claims the Ao head alone” means crushing your skull—the larger the target, the greater the damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One kick shattered the monk’s waist; his upper body flew outward from the force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he hit the ground, the cross-section revealed dried flesh, and his bones teemed with wriggling maggots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Corpse Demon,” Zhong Ting said at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s that?” Chu Danqing hadn’t heard the term—but he understood the trial world’s general nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most monsters were made from human corpses; a “corpse” prefix made sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The old monk, the old monk…” The monk wobbled, propping himself up with his arms, his eyeballs entirely white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Hidden Quest: Purify the Corpse Demon of Jinlong Temple】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Trial Difficulty: C-Rank (Adventure)】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Trial Reward: Paradise Points ×2000, Attribute Points +2】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Trial Failure: Paradise Points -4000】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Paradise quest refreshed; Chu Danqing accepted it on instinct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>C-Rank wasn’t hard—just slightly stronger than the Corpse Centipede.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where one land becomes a demon realm, it is a Corpse Demon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The monk isn’t the mastermind—he’s merely bait for the Corpse Demon here, just like those women.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just puppets,” Zhong Ting said, retreating swiftly. “Withdraw from Jinlong Temple first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing understood at once: the quest’s “Corpse Demon of Jinlong Temple” referred to the temple itself—not “Jinlong Temple, Corpse Demon” as two separate entities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as they retreated into the temple grounds, they saw a black gauze veil enveloping the entire Jinlong Temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On its surface, vein-like black networks pulsed, oozing a putrid stench.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was preparing to trap them inside like fish in a barrel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The demon realm is complete. This is bad,” Zhong Ting’s face darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Kui Star kicks the Dipper had reached mastery—he could still hold an edge against the Corpse Centipede—but facing a Corpse Demon? He was powerless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially trapped inside the demon realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the black veins, sheets of human skin extruded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They recognized these skins—they were the same beautiful women the tomb raiders had been clinging to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now stretched flat, they revealed no beauty—only revulsion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skin sheets spiraled through the air, descending toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind them, the Great Hero Hall erupted with violent movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Buddha statue, built from the desiccated corpses of monks, crawled forward on all fours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But due to its massive size, it seemed less like it crawled out—and more like it was squeezed out by the hall itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, Master—if only you’d glanced at Jinlong Temple when you passed it, I wouldn’t be caught unprepared,” Zhong Ting muttered bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he feared he’d die here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His master had sensed something wrong with Jinlong Temple and knew of its existence—but never entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, it’s manageable. Which one are you taking?” Chu Danqing asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Ting pointed without hesitation at the monk corpse behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing was surprised—he’d expected Zhong Ting to choose the skin-women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he picked the one that looked more like the boss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine. I’ll handle the rest,” Chu Danqing said, preparing to send Big Bao in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>C-Rank was nothing—Big Bao alone was enough. Yue Lan’s shadow would guard him; the Emperor’s Son and Ghost Mother remained as trump cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Beast-Mask Warriors, they’d serve as transport for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big Bai, keep an eye on our bloodlines,” Chu Danqing said, pulling out his blood-siphoning gear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was stacking more blood-sacrifice blade attack percentage onto Big Bao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to hone Big Bao—but not suppress his power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted him to adapt to the boost; sudden doubling of attack power would shock his system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing planned to make the blood-sacrifice blade’s attack boost permanent—now was the perfect time to adapt, saving future adjustment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Chu Danqing saw Zhong Ting crouch down and unlatch his iron shoes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the iron shoes were cloth slippers—nothing special, just ordinary ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Freed from the iron shoes’ weight, Zhong Ting became a blur, leaping instantly onto the monk corpse’s head with a single step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Claims the Ao head alone!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Landing atop the corpse’s head, he raised his right foot and drove it down with full force into the skull, formed from countless dried monk corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With one kick, the entire skull shattered instantly, spilling in a clatter across the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Ting spun around, using the monk’s desiccated corpse as a foothold, and landed again atop the corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing, witnessing this, was also startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Triple specialized assault?” With his knowledge base and a superficial grasp of feng shui, Chu Danqing discerned the pattern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Specialized damage against malevolent entities, against large bodies, against the skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after these three forms of specialized damage stacked did the kick shatter the monk’s skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unfortunately, the monk’s corpse was merely a puppet controlled by the corpse demon; though the strike had worked, the desiccated body slowly rose again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It swayed unsteadily as it climbed back onto the corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The rest is up to you, Chu young master,” Zhong Ting said, landing smoothly, with no choice but to rely on Chu Danqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1591,"2026-06-20T00:54:41.633Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","6436c6563a13710a1ef25844d196677e5dda06613e70005a572c626a047de32f","dimension-park-i-am-the-summoning-apostle-chapter-211","dimension-park-i-am-the-summoning-apostle-chapter-209",305,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdimension-park-i-am-the-summoning-apostle-cover.jpg"]
