Jidao: I have ten equipment slots

"General Gu, please don't take what Old Dog Xie said seriously."

Suppressing the fear in his heart, Zhong Tianlong kept a smile on his face and said in a firm tone, "General Gu may have heard of the character of the Fiery Python and the Xie family. None of them are normal. What they say is mainly intimidation, threats, and deception. None of them are true."

"General Gu and the other seven demon slayers are all heroes of the Jing Kingdom. Even Luo Cheng, before he betrayed us, was a talented person and was the focus of training for the royal family."

"Demons are everywhere, undercover agents from other countries are sabotaging, and evil cults keep popping up. In this critical time, we can't wait to win over a genius like General Gu, so how can we look down on him and hide his secrets?"

"The reason why we didn't promote the God Hunting Arrow is because these ancient treasures are rare and difficult to obtain. They don't have a strong presence, so we subconsciously ignore them."

"besides……"

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I didn't take Xie Manmen's words seriously." Gu Zheng interrupted Zhong Tianlong's fierce defense and said calmly.

"That's fine, that's fine."

Zhong Tianlong was not angry either. He smiled and cupped his hands, "General Gu, if you don't mind, shall we search for the ruins together?"

"Still don't need to... huh?"

Just as he was about to refuse, his heart suddenly moved. He stopped talking and looked sideways at a vine in the corner.

"The cane just moved!"

Zhong Tianlong followed Gu Zheng's gaze and said, "My sensing ability is somewhat special. If there is a living being nearby, I will immediately notice it. Just now, this vine suddenly moved..."

Whoosh!
Before Zhong Tianlong could finish his words, the vine in the corner suddenly broke through the air, split into two with a shrill whistling sound, and shot towards the two of them.

"Shu~"

"laugh!"

The knife flashed and the fist burst out.

The vine was cut and broken halfway through.

The back half twists and dances like a snake, then shrinks back halfway.

The next moment...

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
More than a dozen vines came out from outside, crossed the ruins, drilled into the caves, and shot towards Gu Zheng and Zhong Tianlong.

Swish!

bang bang bang~
The sword flashed and the muffled sound continued.

Still halfway through, the attacking vines were cut off and crushed.

"This is a vine monster, General Gu, we should not stay here for long!"

As Zhong Tianlong spoke, he punched out, blasting several subsequent vines, and flew out.

Gu Zheng did not leave immediately, but instead used teleportation to capture the soul.

Ingest the broken vine sections that have fallen to the ground.

[Demon Points +2]

[Demon Points +1]

……

It really has a special energy!

When the vines are cut and broken, the spiritual essence left behind can actually be used to obtain demon points.

This can be considered a surprise.

If Zhong Tianlong's sensing ability is really as special as he said, then he can also sense the energy contained in these vines.

But firstly, the quantity is small; secondly, the vines are coming more and more, swarming over like a group of snakes; thirdly, the energy is too little and it is not worth it.

For this reason, I left without hesitation.

Gu Zheng obtained it and gained demon points.

If the verification is successful, you will not leave.

shhhhhh!
The cold light flashed and the blade flew.

Vines gathered from all directions, twisting like snakes and pythons. Suddenly, before they could get close to Gu Zheng, they were cut and torn into pieces by 360 blades.

Soul capturing!

[Demon Points +2]

[Demon Points +3]

[Demon Points +1]

……

Boom~
boom!
Walls collapsed and dust flew.

As soon as the vines in front were chopped into pieces and fell to the ground, the following vines swarmed over impatiently and surrounded Gu Zheng.

Whoosh~
call!call!
The sound of breaking wind echoed throughout the ruins.

Every direction was occupied by vines, including the sky above the head, which was also densely covered by vines.

laugh! laugh! Tsk~
Three hundred and sixty blades shuttled back and forth, cutting and chopping.

The nearby vines broke into large pieces and fell to the ground.

Soul capturing! Soul capturing!
Gu Zheng stood where he was, allowing the vines to surround him from all sides, controlling the blades to fly around his body continuously.

Then, you can easily gain demon points.

Although the number of demon points provided by a vine is limited.

But the quantity is large!

Looking down from the sky, the entire ruins are now covered with vines.

Zhong Tianlong rushed out, flying in the air, and moving away without stopping.

Occasionally he looked back at the ground and saw Gu Zheng being surrounded, and he couldn't help but feel curious.

With Gu Zheng's strength, it is not a problem for him to break out of the vine encirclement.

But he hasn’t come out now, what’s going on?
Although he was confused, his flying speed did not slow down. Instead, it increased and sped up again.

……

shhhhhh!
“Shhh! Shhh! Shhh!”

In the ruins, Gu Zheng walked in the ruins, with 360 blades around his body constantly cutting and chopping off the vines one by one.

Then, go along and gain demon points along the way.

The vines are so densely packed that it is impossible to tell how many there are.

Gu Zheng did not rush out either. He controlled the blade to strangle him while continuing to search for the ruins.

No stone chamber or underground space was left out.

Gu Zheng had heard of the name of the Hunting God Arrow, but it was the first time he saw it in real life, so he didn't recognize it just now.

As for killing Xie Manmen and being discovered by Zhong Tianlong, it doesn’t matter.

After all, as a demon-slaying general, he naturally stands on Zhong Tianlong's side.

The two are in the same group.

Zhong Tianlong must have nothing better to do than to expose him.

As for the perfect realm of "Golden Sword Thousand Blades", Zhong Tianlong recognized it, it was no big deal.

Several months have passed, and he has practiced this unique skill to perfection and mastered the spatial sword intent. It can only be said that he has an unparalleled talent in the way of the sword, which is only seen once in a thousand years.

Just make up any excuse. No matter how shocked others are, they won’t think of anything else.

It doesn’t matter if Zhong Tianlong escapes.

shhhhhh!
[Demon Points +2]

[Demon Points +1]

……

It was like endless vines, attacking non-stop and submerging the entire ruins.

Gu Zheng searched the entire ruins under the attack.

Apart from the three hunting arrows at the beginning, no more were found later.

I did gain 4,000 demon points.

And this data is still growing.

It’s good to increase. To break through the king body realm, you need 200,000 demon points!
Gu Zheng had been thinking about how to kill the demon.

Now, these vines are like demons, and there is no telling how many of them there are. He can kill them as he pleases and happily harvest the demon points.

After searching the ruins, Gu Zheng did not leave, but continued to walk slowly. After he came out of the ruins, three hundred and sixty blades were flying around him, strangling and cutting the vines into pieces.

Capture the soul, capture the soul, capture the soul!

The number of demon points quickly increased from four thousand to five thousand.

Six thousand points.

Seven thousand points.

……

Ten thousand points!

Keep walking, keep strangling and cutting, keep harvesting.

Twelve thousand, thirteen thousand, fifteen thousand...

Twenty thousand!

Twenty-three thousand, twenty-six thousand…

Thirty thousand!

When the number of demon points harvested exceeded 30,000.

The vine monster finally realized that it could not do anything to Gu Zheng, and was instead chopped and strangled by Gu Zheng. Leaving behind stumps and fragments all over the mountains, the vines began to retreat like a tide and quickly withdrew.

"Want to go now? It's too late!"

Gu Zheng shouted softly, chasing the vine, continuing to control the three hundred and sixty blades, cutting and crushing.

Then, capture the soul, capture the soul!

The demon points are still growing.

Whoosh! Whoosh!
The speed of the vines' retreat suddenly increased.

The vines that were originally all over the mountains and plains were like a swarm of snakes, but they shrank back at the same speed.

Gu Zheng chased after him and entered a dense forest filled with yin, evil, deathly energy, and a special scent that mixed in the air and slowly drifted.

There are no flowers or plants on the ground in this dense forest, and no leaves on the branches. Instead, they look like sharp thorns, hideous and evil.

The vines retreated back into the dense forest and disappeared in an instant, or rather, all of them burrowed into the ground.

Gu Zheng stayed close to the ground, floating in the air, and slowly entered the dense forest.

buzz~
The soul-repelling scales on his body suddenly vibrated and spun rapidly, resisting and eliminating the invisible spiritual invasions.

Gu Zheng activated his Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils, ignoring the illusions and continued to go deeper.

Soon, these hideous thorny trees began to move.

This scene is not an illusion!

Just like the vine monster before it, the thorny tree also comes to life!

swoosh~
call!call!call!
The thick, slender and ferocious branches all danced and attacked Gu Zheng.

shhhhhh!
With a flash of cold light, three hundred and sixty blades flew forward, cutting off branches and piercing the trunk of the thorny tree.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

"Acridine~!"

A sharp cry suddenly sounded, like the scream of a ghost, lingering in the silent and gloomy forest.

The vibration frequency of the soul-repelling scales on Gu Zheng's body suddenly increased, becoming more and more powerful in resisting the spiritual invasion of Elimination.

咻咻 咻 ~
The sword light flashed, and dozens of blades broke through the air and penetrated into the trunk of the screaming, ferocious and thorny tree monster.

In one breath, he moved in and out dozens of times, cutting the entire torso into dozens of pieces.

Especially the roots, crush them into pulp.

The screams stopped abruptly.

Soul capturing!

[Demon Points +49]

so many?
A thorny tree monster provides 49 monster points, which is more than any third-level monster.

The key point is that this thorny tree monster is only at the first level in terms of its aura.

What’s special about the demon plant?
Gu Zheng thought about it and controlled the blade to continue attacking the second thorny tree monster.

Then the third, the fourth, the fifth...

The corresponding soul capturing.

[Demon Points +51]

[Demon Points +50]

……

Each spiked tree demon can harvest nearly 50 demon points
Ten tree monsters equal five hundred points.

One hundred tree monsters, five thousand points!

Gu Zheng wandered in the dense forest, destroying tree monsters one after another and reaping endless rewards.

When the 400th thorny tree demon was destroyed, chopped into pieces, it absorbed the demon points.

Suddenly a strong wind blew through the dense forest.

swoosh~
Whoosh whoosh!
There was a strange noise and the sound of the ground vibrating.

Gu Zheng ignored the strong wind and saw that the remaining thorny tree monsters all shrank and hid underground.

The whole area suddenly became extremely empty.

"Bang~"

A slight sound suddenly came out.

When Gu Zheng looked over, he saw a slope of earth suddenly exploded and a ball of fire emerged from the ground.

The outer fireworks are grass green, with a platinum-like core of fire inside.

As soon as it emerges from the ground, it releases a rich scent of fragrant grass, which makes people feel invigorated. Every cell in the body is activated, and the whole body feels indescribably comfortable and transparent.

The fire of life?

"Oh, no, it should be called 'Holy Wood Spirit Flame'?"

Gu Zheng scanned the flame with his sharp eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

Strange fire!

All the vine monsters and thorny tree monsters that were killed by him hid underground, and then he sent out a ball of "Holy Wood Spirit Flame", which was really funny.

This is a benefit to him, in order to make Gu Zheng stop.

It has to be said that the strange fire called "Holy Wood Essence Flame" has very magical powers.

People or animals touched or ignited by it will not only not be hurt, but will be healed instead. Any hidden injuries, poison injuries, aging organs, and diseases can be repaired in a short period of time and become extremely healthy.

Because the power of fire contained in the strange fire "Holy Wood Essence Flame" is the power of life!

Under such magnificent vitality, shouldn't all living things receive the best baptism?

The "Holy Wood Spirit Flame" is therefore called the Fire of Life.

With it, regenerating severed limbs becomes easy.

The vital energy of the Giant's Heart is simply incomparable.

Of course, the "Holy Wood Essence Flame" is just a strange fire and cannot provide any help in perception.

Gu Zheng floated closer to the flame. At close range, he felt the rich and surging life force coming towards him.

The next moment, the figure stepped back and leaped into the air, heading straight into the sky.

When they reached a high place, magical powers surged, and magical skills and water control were displayed, gathering water vapor from all directions and condensing it into a large ball.

The vitality and life force contained in the "Holy Wood Essence Flame" are indeed powerful and surging.

But if you want to collect it, you cannot grab it with your hands, or use other magical means to pull and wrap it, and you cannot touch it with weapons.

Because the life force is too strong, if you reach out and touch it, you will be choked to death!
It's like over-supplementing, or taking too much nutrition, the ordinary body simply can't bear it.

Even with Gu Zheng's strong body, he didn't dare to try it.

There is really no need for that.

Gu Zheng had a better idea and collected the "Holy Wood Spirit Flame".

That is to collect rootless water!

The essence of water condensed from the rootless water that never falls to the ground can be used to collect the "Holy Wood Essence Flame" and transfer it into other containers.

Under the water-controlling magic skill, drops of rootless water quickly condensed.

Then, all the rootless water condensed into a water ball.

Gu Zheng controlled the water ball and landed it back on the ground. Still under Yu Shui's control, he divided the water ball into four parts, and then closed them inwards from four directions until the "Holy Wood Spirit Flame" was surrounded in the center.

Huh~!

A fist-sized grass-green flame suddenly entered the water ball, slowly beating like the interior of a crystal.

Become!

Gu Zheng was filled with wonder as he looked at the "Holy Wood Spirit Flame" floating in the water in front of him, and made an earthen jar on the spot that was just the right size to store the water ball.

Cover it with a stone and put it in the storage box.

The vine monster and the thorny tree monster offered strange fire to make Gu Zheng stop. They were quite smart.

shuh~
Gu Zheng's body flashed and he went underground.

With magical power surging, the demon used his earth-controlling skills to dive deep into the ground.

There are no moral rules to follow when dealing with demons and evil creatures!

It was not easy for Gu Zheng to collect 200,000 demon points.

Now that I have encountered a target that can be quickly harvested, I will not give up just because of a ball of strange fire.

But after diving less than two hundred meters, Gu Zheng stopped.

"dangerous?"

His subconscious perception gave him a warning that it would be dangerous if he continued to sneak down.

Still a huge danger!
"……Fine."

Gu Zheng raised his eyebrows, but did not lower them any further.

Fifty thousand demon points is not a small number.

What's more, he also harvested the "Holy Wood Essence Flame".

Thinking of this, Gu Zheng turned around, sneaked upwards, and returned to the surface.

As soon as I came out, the scenery in front of me suddenly changed.

From the gloomy forest, it turned into a world of ice and snow! (End of this chapter)
