Chapter 57: Gratitude of the Wrongfully Dead

The protective golden light was crumbling, but the Gui Yuanmu couldn't wait for the golden light to shatter.

Under the cover of the golden light, Dabao's claws finally tore the Gui Yuanmu into pieces.

At the right time, the Dimension Paradise prompt appeared.

Seeing this, Guo Ming immediately began to chant the Rebirth Spell.

Its content wasn't as simple as the previous spell, but rather obscure and difficult to understand, and the speaking speed was extremely fast.

The rhythm also appeared very ethereal.

As he chanted, dense resentment squeezed out from the Gui Yuanmu's broken body, and these resentments slowly dissipated upon contact with the air.

Seeing this, Dabao was also startled.

In the state of Jin Guang Body Protection, he had already pulled his HP back to 85% through the lifesteal effect, so he broke away from the Fearless state and the Berserk state.

He immediately brought the treasure chest that dropped from the Gui Yuanmu back to Chu Danqing's side.

Chu Danqing set his gaze on the treasure chest; the quality was still Excellent-tier, but one could clearly see that the patterns on it were extremely dazzling.

He suspected that the treasure chest's original quality should have been Fine-tier, far from the quality he could come into contact with at his current stage.

At least it wasn't a quality he could obtain by relying on Dabao, because it was thanks to Guo Ming's help that Chu Danqing successfully killed the Gui Yuanmu.

But also because of too much help from the natives, the treasure chest's quality dropped.

After putting the treasure chest away for the time being, his gaze turned to the Gui Yuanmu's fragments.

The resentment gradually dissipated, and figures whose appearances couldn't be seen clearly gradually freed themselves from the resentment.

All the figures bowed to him gracefully before finally vanishing into nothingness.

【You obtained the Gratitude of the Wrongfully Dead】

【Your Charisma +1】

Chu Danqing was puzzled when he heard the prompt.

Logically speaking, he didn't contribute much, right? Even if they wanted to thank someone, they should thank Dabao and Guo Ming.

Yet he was the only one who received this gratitude.

There was indeed a Charisma attribute in the Dimension Paradise, but like Will, Luck, and other attributes, they couldn't be added directly and required special ways to improve.

They couldn't even be viewed directly and required subsequent permissions to open the digitization standard.

He didn't know much about the Charisma attribute.

"Brother Chu has immeasurable merit to be favored by them," Guo Ming said with a smile.

Chu Danqing didn't accept this compliment and asked immediately: "What is going on?"

He preferred to believe in the generosity of the Dimension Paradise rather than accepting a gift from a group of people he had never met.

"Good deeds have good rewards; that's what it's about," Guo Ming didn't care that only Chu Danqing received the gratitude: "During this time, Dabao and I were indeed indispensable."

"But most of it was Brother Chu's credit."

"If Brother Chu didn't choose to calm the Gui Yuanmu's hatred but chose to leave directly, how could there be a time of calming?"

This made Chu Danqing truly embarrassed, making himself seem like a leader who bullied the subordinates.

The decision was his, but the actual execution wasn't.

"This is too unfair to you," Chu Danqing said correctly, with both the peace talisman and the rebirth spell.

Without Guo Ming's help, where would this result come from?

"I see you like the Cold Spring Shadow so much, I'll lend it to you for a while longer," Chu Danqing said, feeling that he seemed a bit hypocritical.

But if he really had to give it away, he wouldn't be willing; it was an Excellent-tier piece of equipment after all, and it was a magical firearm very suitable for a newbie like him.

"No, no, a gentleman does not take what others love," Guo Ming immediately refused: "Although I like this item, I see Brother Chu using it for self-defense, so how can I take it?"

"If I used it, what would Brother Chu use next?"

Chu Danqing waved his hand: "As you can see, my archery is truly unbearable."

"It's a waste in my hands; using it for the time you have it can better utilize it."

After some mutual pushing, Guo Ming, hindered by his love for it, accepted it.

"I really like it too much, so I'll use it for a few more days," Guo Ming said embarrassedly.

"It doesn't matter; I lent it, I didn't ask you for it," Chu Danqing said bluntly: "Why are you embarrassed?"

With these words, the expression on Guo Ming's face became lively.

Carrying the Cold Spring Shadow on his back, Guo Ming then said: "My father has always wanted me to be both civil and martial, but unfortunately, I was born with a deficiency and couldn't enter the Dao."

"With my eldest brother as the pillar of the family, I have entrusted my feelings to the mountains and rivers."

"Usually, I also love archery, but there are not many bows and arrows in the family that I can pull," Guo Ming said with self-mockery.

"On the contrary, the Cold Spring Shadow given by Brother Chu is very much to my liking."

From Guo Ming's words, Chu Danqing realized that he wasn't lacking in such equipment; it was just that what suited him was too rare.

The Cold Spring Shadow had a strange shape, but it had low usage requirements.

While saying this, Guo Ming was already thinking about how to repay Chu Danqing.

First he saved his life, then helped avenge his servant, and now seeing that he liked it, he even lent him his personal weapon, while he had no self-defense.

He was thinking about what Chu Danqing needed.

He did have something to offer, but compared to his life, these things counted for nothing.

"Let's not talk about this; you said before that there is a strange treasure at the bottom of this well," Chu Danqing changed the subject: "The thing that could create the Gui Yuanmu must not be a good thing."

Guo Ming was interrupted by Chu Danqing and came back to his senses: "Not necessarily."

"It's just that after this, the power of the strange treasure is probably not much left."

"Falling into Brother Chu's hands might not be of much use."

Chu Danqing understood why; it must be because the Gui Yuanmu finally absorbed the power of the strange treasure, otherwise, it would be impossible for her strength to skyrocket out of thin air.

"As long as it can be used, I don't mind," Chu Danqing didn't care much; at worst, he would take it to the Apostle Square to sell it.

If it really didn't work, he would keep it; what if it was useful later?

This was of the same nature as the "chicken-crowing and dog-stealing" under Lord Mengchang.

After speaking, he took Dabao and wanted to go to the bottom of the well, but was blocked by Guo Ming.

"It's late, and there is still unscattered resentment at the bottom of the well."

"Brother Chu can wait until dawn, and it won't be too late to go after the sun comes out."

"And Dabao has fought two battles in a row, so he should rest."

"This strange treasure won't run away; we can take it tomorrow." Guo Ming gave his reason.

Chu Danqing originally wanted to say that delay leads to changes, but Guo Ming's words also made sense.

"You know more, I'll listen to you," Chu Danqing didn't stubbornly think he was right.

Guo Ming's family background gave him more knowledge.

On the contrary, Chu Danqing was just a reserve apostle who hadn't been in the trial world for long.

"In that case, let's find a place to rest," Chu Danqing checked the time; it was still early until dawn.

He couldn't really stay up until tomorrow, could he?

Before resting, Chu Danqing thought about opening the Gui Yuanmu's treasure chest first to see what good things he could get.
