Use the flying stone?” Wu Liusix handed the pouch to Chu Danqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Use it!” Chu Danqing took it without hesitation: “I’m not one to chase after lofty goals.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he fastened the pouch to his waist, pulled out the slingshot, and began gathering stones from the ground to practice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Wu Liusix’s guidance, Chu Danqing progressed from merely swinging with brute force to gradually grasping the technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until Wu Liusix suddenly drew his long knife, his expression grim as he stared toward the Hou River.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without warning, a massive shadow slipped silently from the water onto shore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing, absorbed in practice, hadn’t noticed—but Wu Liusix hadn’t forgotten why he was here tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So while teaching Chu Danqing, he kept watch on the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Waa~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cry like a baby’s wail erupted in the night. Chu Danqing selected a suitable stone, secured it in the sling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Wu Liusix’s instructions, he gripped the staff, adjusted his stance, and spun rapidly, using his waist and arm to fling the staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He estimated timing and range in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Bai Long Fish’s offspring entered the slingshot’s range, he hurled the stone—directly striking its skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The offspring shrieked in pain and surged forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing seized the opening to strike again—but due to his inexperience, the second shot missed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hitting a moving target wasn’t easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bai Long Fish’s offspring was now close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Liusix instantly slashed the rope trigger. Above them, an iron cage crashed down, enclosing both men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The offspring, moving too fast to stop, slammed into the cage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heavy cage shifted backward about thirty centimeters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seizing the moment, Chu Danqing snatched up the broadsword beside him and swung it without hesitation at the offspring’s snout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Liusix moved faster—his long knife thrust toward the offspring’s eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Bai Long Fish offspring was enormous—at least four meters long, with thick, tough hide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless they struck vital spots, neither the long knife nor the broadsword could do more than scratch the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the largest offspring of the Bai Long Fish, its reflexes far surpassed the second and third offspring killed by Da Bao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its long, muscular neck whipped like a golden snake, using its head as a hammer—it dodged both their strikes and nearly overturned the cage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had Wu Liusix not previously reinforced the cage, they would have been dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the blows failed, the offspring slowly retreated, out of their attack range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It circled the cage, observing—as if searching for an opening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bai Long Fish’s cunning had already begun to show in this largest offspring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Chu Danqing set down the broadsword, picked up the flying stone, and began attacking—treating it as practice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His aim and power still needed improvement; his actions annoyed the offspring, which bared its teeth at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its grown cunning kept it from acting recklessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After circling twice, the offspring prepared to charge the cage again—when a large hand suddenly shot out from the grass behind it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seized the offspring’s thick neck before it could react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It tried to turn and strike, but before it could see who it was, another hand gripped its neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both hands pulled with full force—snapping its neck clean at a hundred-eighty-degree angle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attacker was Da Bao, who had been hiding nearby as the main force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire process was swift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, in Chu Danqing’s vision, a chest appeared above the offspring’s corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘I didn’t kill it, yet I still get a chest?’ Chu Danqing was silently astonished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Da Bao dropped the corpse, walked over, and lifted the cage for them. “Dead dead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Da Bao, why wait until the bastard’s son circled twice before acting?” Chu Danqing didn’t rush to claim the chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I thought it’d be easier to kill,” Da Bao replied simply—he did it because he felt it was better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing was certain Da Bao possessed combat-related or instinct-based skills or talents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His timing had precise, intuitive judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After asking, the three returned to the offspring’s corpse. Chu Danqing quietly touched the chest and stored it in his inventory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【You obtained: Chest (Common Tier)】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With these three little devils gone, the Bai Long Fish—” Wu Liusix exclaimed excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Chu Danqing noticed Da Bao’s gaze—he’d been staring at the river while Chu Danqing collected the chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is it, Da Bao?” Chu Danqing asked quickly; he knew Da Bao’s senses were sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The bastard’s coming. It’s watching us from the riverbed,” Da Bao muttered softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, Chu Danqing’s blood ran cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Chu Danqing could speak, a far larger shadow rose from the riverbed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the moonlight, it exuded suffocating pressure as it slowly climbed ashore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its body was at least ten meters long, weighing no less than three tons—comparable to the largest crocodile of the Early Cretaceous, the Deinosuchus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1052,"2026-06-20T00:54:40.605Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","60fcc9b80fa94c1782a046b3b01185c67816ccd802fa1396c7d8080c24ac4f63","dimension-park-i-am-the-summoning-apostle-chapter-10","dimension-park-i-am-the-summoning-apostle-chapter-8",305,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdimension-park-i-am-the-summoning-apostle-cover.jpg"]
