Jidao: I have ten equipment slots

Chapter 34 [034] Intelligent Demon Tribe

"Manager Song!"

Gu Zheng smiled in return, "What mission is Yantou carrying out this time? Doesn't she already have a team member?"

"Hey, what supervisor? Just call me Lao Song."

Song Qingshan raised his hand and explained, "Yan girl chose the demon-slaying mission this time. She didn't say where to go, but the current manpower is not enough. At least ten people will be safe."

"Is that so..." Gu Zheng understood and nodded, "Then I'll go find Yantou. I wonder if she needs any help."

"We are definitely short of people. Right now, most places are plagued by monsters. Almost all the people in the field department are out there, and a small number of people in the internal department have also been withdrawn. It won't be that fast for Yan to gather ten people."

"It just so happens that I'm free, and I know where Yan is, let's go together."

As Song Qingshan spoke, he led Gu Zheng towards the street.

The two turned out of the alley and a busy long street came into view.

There are many pedestrians on the street, but mainly old people, children and women.

There were few young and strong men, and even fewer wearing armor.

Gu Zheng was wearing a bronze star armor and walking in the place. Almost everyone he saw gave him a kind smile.

When Gu Zheng walked past her pie stand, a familiar lady greeted him warmly, "Brother, come here and take some on the way. It's free."

As he said this, he picked up two pies, wrapped them in oil paper, and stuffed them into Gu Zheng's arms.

"..."

Gu Zheng looked at the other person's sincere smile and anxious eyes, and did not refuse. He accepted it with a smile, "Thank you, Auntie. I just didn't have breakfast."

After saying this, he picked up the pie, ate it, and continued walking forward.

"Hey, if you like it, come again next time." Seeing this, the old lady shouted from behind with even more enthusiasm.

Gu Zheng didn't look back, he just raised his hand.

Following Song Qingshan, they walked for a distance. Song Qingshan whispered, "Sister Wang's whole family was killed by the demon. Her son was out on a mission and there has been no news for more than half a month. It is highly likely that... he is in great danger."

Gu Zheng remained silent.

The people walking on this street are all relatives of the Demon Suppression Guards.

After graduating from the training camp, Xiaoqi becomes an official Demon Suppression Guard and can bring a family member to live in the Demon Slaying Division’s Fengzhou headquarters.

There are two general flags, four hundred households, and eight thousand households...

As long as these family members are able to do some work, they will help with some small tasks in the logistics department and the internal affairs department.

If you have no work to do, just set up a small stall.

Even if the Demon Suppression Guards who are out on field missions die, they can continue to live in the Demon Slaying Bureau headquarters.

This is the guarantee given by the Demon Slaying Division to the Demon Suppression Guards, a basic benefit.

The Demon Slaying Bureau headquarters covers a very large area.

Most of the northern area of ​​Fengzhou city was included, and high walls were built, like a city within a city.

Even so, the Demon Slaying Division's training camp and most of the logistics department's personnel are outside the city.

Tao Qi, Gao Da, Gao Er and Gu Zheng completed the registration and then left the state capital.

……

"Yan girl, Ping An also wants to go on a mission, have you gathered all the people?"

After walking quickly all the way, Song Qingshan and Gu Zheng soon found Yan Hongxue.

"Brother Gu, you've accepted the mission right away? That's great." Upon hearing this, Tao Liu was the first to shout excitedly, "We are still short of two people. You've come just in time."

"Thank you, Uncle Song."

Yan Hongxue thanked Song Qingshan and said, "We were just worried about someone, so you brought Brother Gu here."

"Haha, isn't that a coincidence?"

Song Qingshan smoothed his slicked-back hair and laughed, "This is Ping An's first mission, and it's just right for him to get familiar with the situation with you."

"That's it."

Gu Zheng clasped his fist towards Yan Hongxue and said, "Thank you for your help, Mr. Yan." "..."

Yan Hongxue looked at Gu Zheng calmly, said nothing, and called out, "Let's go, nine people are enough."

"Okay." Tao Liu held back his laughter and hurried to follow.

An Xiaoxue and Wu Kun also laughed secretly and followed behind.

Chen Zhizhen had a gloomy look on his face.

The three new people, seeing this, walked away together with a puzzled look in their eyes.

"Ok?"

At the spot, Song Qingshan was puzzled. Did he say something wrong?
Why are Yan Hongxue, Tao Qi, and An Xiaoxue's reactions so strange?
While thinking, he subconsciously smoothed his hair back.

……

……

"drive!"

The sound of horses' hooves raised a lot of dust.

Led by Yan Hongxue, a group of nine people, riding on tall horses with half-demon blood, left Fengzhou city and headed to the west of Fengzhou.

"The destination of this mission is Jing'an Prefecture, Baishui County. According to intelligence, traces of the Lizard Snake Tribe have appeared in Baishui County. The Lizard Snake Tribe usually moves in groups and is extremely dangerous. Our mission is to eradicate this group of Lizard Snakes!"

On horseback, Yan Hongxue's cloak rustled, and her clear voice resounded in the ears of Gu Zheng, An Xiaoxue and eight other people.

An Xiaoxue, Wu Kun, Tao Liu and Chen Zhizhen did not react after hearing this, obviously they already knew it.

Gu Zheng and the other three were stunned.

"Lizard snake tribe? Intelligent demon tribe?"

The one who spoke was a big man with thick eyebrows, and his voice was rough, "These intelligent monsters are not easy to deal with."

"No matter how smart they are, I'll still kill them with three cuts." The one who responded was a young man with a thin face and dark skin. He grinned and said, "Can the intelligence of demons be compared with that of us humans?"

"Don't be careless." Tao Liu couldn't help but interject, "The intelligent demons can be very difficult to deal with when they play tricks."

Gu Zheng didn't say anything, just recalled the information about monsters he had read in the past few days.

According to the classification of the Demon Slaying Bureau, those slug demons, wild boar demons, dinosaur demons... that he had killed before were all classified as scattered demons. They had no intelligence, and even if they did, it was very low.

It is not difficult to eliminate these demons.

However, intelligent demons are different.

Their strength is no less than that of the Demon-Suppressing Guards who have cultivated supernatural powers. They are better at fighting in groups and even designing traps.

When dealing with these monsters, strong men are of little use, and even bring them along to hinder the team.

For this reason, Yan Hongxue did not bring any strong men this time, but instead looked for the small flag of the Demon Suppression Guard, hoping to gather a total of ten people.

However, the small flags of the Demon Suppression Guard were some who were on missions, some who were resting, and some who did not want to follow Yan Hongxue, so it was not enough for them to gather together. That's why Song Qingshan invited Gu Zheng to join.

For Gu Zheng.

What he wanted most was demon points, and mission merit came second.

For this reason, the four types of field missions, ranger, garrison, and monster hunter, were eliminated.

Only exorcising demons can meet his needs!
……

All the way without stopping.

The half-demon horse galloped day and night. In less than two days, Gu Zheng, Yan Hongxue and others arrived at Jing'an Prefecture and Baishui County.

The team entered the county town. Everywhere they looked, they saw people coming and going on the streets, the sounds of hawking goods rising and falling, and there was no atmosphere of panic caused by the evil spirit.

"What happened? Was the intelligence wrong?"

Tao Liu looked at the people walking on the street and blurted out, "The street is so lively, is there really a demon here?"

"According to the existing data, there is no scene in Baishui County, but there is a scene in the neighboring county, which was transformed into a passage before we came out!"
