That’s impossible!” Chu Danqing stared at the dissipated chain—it hadn’t been shattered by the enemy’s attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A miss meant dissipation; destruction meant shattering—two entirely different outcomes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s parasitism, Da Bao—find the host.” Chu Danqing understood: the human-faced black leopard had died completely; something was controlling its corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The HP decreased slowly because Da Bao and the crossbowmen were striking non-vital areas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In online games, scraping the feet might work, but this was reality—semi-digitalization was for reference, not because the world was fully digital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Da Bao gritted his teeth and began tearing flesh from the leopard-man monster with his rending claws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wrong spot—try again.” Chu Danqing watched the battle log; damage had dropped, meaning the target was still wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creak~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Da Bao's repeated attempts, he tore off the leopard-man monster's sternum, revealing a strange creature hidden within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing used his Scan technique again, and finally learned its name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Three Corpses·Zhi】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the name, Chu Danqing naturally felt puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew a little about the concept of Three Corpses—originating in Daoism as internal informants and sources of evil within the human body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond that, only fragments of Honghuang lore remained, none of which connected to Zhi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the source was found, Da Bao’s attacks caused Zhi’s HP to plummet rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One claw strike drained most of its HP; the second killed the strange creature outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【You killed Three Corpses·Zhi】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Zhi’s death, it instantly dissolved into a pool of pus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leopard-man monster's corpse emitted a foul stench—not like a fresh kill, but like a corpse rotten for days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, an Excellent-grade chest appeared atop the corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Da Bao grabbed the chest and returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing casually stuffed it into his storage space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt this matter wasn’t so simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Contribution credited; the trial quest was completed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Quest completed. Reward: Return eligibility, Paradise Points ×1000, Attribute Points +1】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing ignored the Paradise notification, pondering instead: Three Corpses should have three—why was there only one?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps there were clues here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Offerer, truly remarkable—this vile beast is finally dead.” The overseer, seeing the battle end, hurried over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Overseer, do you know the origin of this leopard?” Chu Danqing sensed an opportunity to dig deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In response, the overseer shook his head: “I don’t know. I only know it appeared recently.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have there been other strange beasts or anomalies nearby?” Chu Danqing asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Chu Danqing press repeatedly, the overseer dared not give a careless reply and thought carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, yes,” the overseer said at once. “This vile beast first carried off Lu San.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lu San was an old miner, frugal his whole life, saving to return home and build a house and marry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A few days before he vanished, he changed completely.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He bought new clothes, went to Chunyuan Pavilion, feasted on fine wine and dishes, and spent the night with three courtesans.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Later, he passed out drunk outside the mine. When someone found him, the beast had already dragged him off and eaten him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Offerer, would you consider this abnormal?” The overseer summarized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing immediately replied: “Yes, absolutely.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew little of the Three Corpses, but this clue was too obvious to ignore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The original host of the Three Corpses wasn’t this human-faced black leopard—it was the miner named Lu San.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll immediately send men to investigate,” the overseer said at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Investigate—I suspect this may be a targeted strike against our Lu family,” Chu Danqing said, not speaking lightly—he genuinely believed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhi might be one of the Three Corpses’ names.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had killed only one of the Three Corpses; two others remained at large.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the description, the Three Corpses triggered three desires: vanity, gluttony, and lust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The human-faced black leopard’s frequent human consumption was gluttony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, it likely granted the host corresponding power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This vile beast was merely a mountain predator. Only after consuming Lu San—whose nature had changed—did it transform so drastically.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Think—if this beast had been Lu San himself, how many would have noticed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Someone is surely scheming against the Lu family’s mining operation,” Chu Danqing concluded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though coincidence was possible, Chu Danqing’s inference was reasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The overseer was deeply alarmed by Chu Danqing’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Offerer, rest assured—I’ll have men closely monitor the mine and report any anomaly immediately.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Investigating Lu San will take time—I’ll deliver the findings to you by tomorrow morning at the latest,” the overseer pledged urgently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This matter involved the Lu family; the overseer had to act for his own sake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaning on a great tree offered shade—without the Lu family, his wealth and status would collapse, so they actively protected Lu interests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lu family had endured for generations; their household management was masterful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Remember—keep this quiet and discreet. If you alarm the culprit, catching them later will be nearly impossible,” Chu Danqing warned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was another possibility: not an external threat, but internal treachery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In large households, disunity was inevitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially since Lu Yin, the Lu family’s eldest son, was a sickly invalid, unlikely to live long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Offerer, I understand,” the overseer replied, then added: “Shall I escort you back to the manor?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No,” Chu Danqing said. “Take me to the Ji residence.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Ji residence in Yangxian County isn’t ordinary. Without an invitation, gaining entry won’t be easy,” the overseer gently warned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aristocratic families had their rules—the Ji family was nothing compared to the Lu family, whose customs were far more elaborate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1020,"2026-06-20T00:54:40.605Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","884c87d36faa7ac1cca24cd8ac3607972cacef8d174c61ee2567a55f738c9dc2","dimension-park-i-am-the-summoning-apostle-chapter-38","dimension-park-i-am-the-summoning-apostle-chapter-36",305,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdimension-park-i-am-the-summoning-apostle-cover.jpg"]
