Jidao: I have ten equipment slots

Chapter 38 [038] Strong Heartbeat

Just a semi-spiritual soldier?
A half-spiritual soldier gave him the feeling of being able to do whatever he wanted. Wouldn't a real spiritual soldier be like having an extra hand?

Gu Zheng sighed.

Weapons are an extension of human hands and feet.

When using the Tianshuang Sword, swinging and chopping, the lethality is certainly not weak, but one knows clearly in the heart that it is just a sword, a cold weapon.

However, when holding the long sword lent by Zhang Boshong just now, Gu Zheng had the illusion that his arm had become longer.

The reason is that the Tianshuang Sword cannot transmit magical powers.

The magical energy surged, attached to the surface of the blade.

Unlike semi-spiritual weapons, the magical power can be transmitted within the blade.

Some may gather at one point, some may scatter everywhere, and some may fly and dance.

The source of these changes is magical.

It's magical, it connects people and weapons into one!
……

"Brother Gu, there is no need to be envious. With your strength, if you complete one or two more missions, you can exchange for a real spiritual weapon."

Zhang Bosong chuckled.

"You can also remelt your broken sword, brother Gu, add magic gold, and forge a spiritual weapon that belongs to you." Zhang Ning said, "That's what I'm preparing. After accumulating five more great merits, I can find the weaponsmith in the logistics department and ask him to forge a spiritual weapon for me."

Integrate into magic gold?

Yuan Qianjun, Liangqiu Changkong and others also said so.

Gu Zheng recalled and nodded, "This is indeed a good choice."

"I forgot to thank Brother Zhang. If you hadn't lent me the knife, I would have been powerless to kill the three-striped lizard snake monster even if I wanted to."

Gu Zheng clasped his fists towards Zhang Boshong to express his gratitude.

"You're welcome, Brother Gu."

Zhang Bosong waved his hand and said, "My sword is blessed to be in your hands and to have killed a first-stage late-stage demon. If it were me, I would be blessed by my ancestors if I could avoid being killed by a demon, let alone kill one."

"Yes, there are a lot of people who learn the Crazy Fighting Sword Technique, but not many can master it." Zhang Ning agreed, and then asked curiously, "By the way, Brother Gu, how long did it take you to practice this sword technique and reach the mastery level?"

"This... is a bit long."

Gu Zheng hesitated for a moment, then changed the subject, "Brother Zhang just said that there are only five lizard snake monsters? Have you searched the entire Zhao Mansion?"

"Not yet." Zhang Ning's expression became serious, "But there should be only these five. If there are still some hiding, we can't just sit there and do nothing."

"Let's search it first, just in case."

Gu Zheng suggested, "Let's split up and search every corner before dark."

"also."

Hearing this, Zhang Ning said nothing else.

The three of them separated and began searching the huge Zhao Mansion.

Gu Zheng returned to the place where the Tianshuang Sword fell and picked up all the fragments.

During the search, they met Yan Hongxue, who was also investigating.

After checking, it was found that the lizard monster was indeed not found, but the people imprisoned in the Zhao Mansion were found in an underground secret room.

There weren't many of them, only seven.

Although these seven people are still alive, they seem to have lost their minds, with dull faces, lifeless eyes, uncontrollable feces and urine, and are worse than fools.

Scared to death and becoming demented?

Gu Zheng was silent.

There were many discarded bones and discarded intestines scattered in the underground secret room.

The lizard demon ate people it knew right in front of them.

I wasn't scared to death on the spot...

No, the one who was scared to death has been eaten!

……

"Liu Baozi, the chief constable of Baishui County, was coerced by the demon and defected to the demon. Will the county magistrate and lieutenant also defect to the demon?"

After the search was completed, Gu Zheng, Zhang Boshong, Zhang Ning, Yan Hongxue, as well as Tao Liu and An Xiaoxue who had received simple treatment, gathered in the relatively intact front yard of the Zhao Mansion to discuss the follow-up.

"Besides the Zhao Mansion, are there any other lizard snake monsters in other places in Baishui County?"

If the county magistrate and county lieutenant also surrender to the evil, subsequent actions will be troublesome.

Killing the county magistrate and the county lieutenant was the easy part, but the key was to kill the lizard monster hiding behind the scenes. "Everyone, do you have any skills in hypnosis, bewitching, or identifying lies?"

Gu Zheng said this, glancing quickly at Wu Kun and Chen Zhizhen.

The former was seriously injured and was now lying on the ground gasping weakly.

The three sharp claw marks on Chen Zhizhen’s chest armor were conspicuous. His face was pale and he lowered his head without saying a word.

"Hypnosis and bewitching require a very high level of mental strength, but I know how to distinguish true from false." Zhang Ning stroked his chin and said softly, "This job is a basic skill for people who specialize in torture."

"...Were you a prisoner before?" An Xiaoxue glanced at him and couldn't help asking.

"Haha, almost." Zhang Ning laughed twice, neither admitting nor denying.

Gu Zheng glanced at him, thoughtfully.

"That's it."

Yan Hongxue said solemnly, "Zhang Ning and I will go to the county government office first to test the county magistrate, county lieutenant, and others. If there is no problem, we will come to pick you up."

"it is good!"

……

The two moved quickly.

Go to the county government office, gather everyone together, and question them one by one.

Before dark, I got the answer I wanted.

The county magistrate, county lieutenant, prison warden and other main members of the yamen were all fine and did not surrender to the demon. Perhaps they were lucky, the lizard snake demon did not find them.

The constables and yamen runners below were frightened out by the tentative threats.

These three people, together with Liu Baozi, deceived their superiors and subordinates for the lizard demon.

Yan Hongxue brought the people out and killed them all in front of others.

Gu Zheng, Zhang Boshong, Wu Kun and others had just quietly left the Zhao Mansion and moved into the backyard of the government office.

The reason for being so quiet is to prevent there from being lizard snake monsters lurking in the city and spying on the county government.

Gu Zheng and his group entered the yamen. Except for the injured who stayed behind, the others took off their armor, changed into ordinary clothes, dispersed, and searched the entire city overnight.

The main purpose is to sense the demonic energy. Once the demonic energy is discovered, you can basically track it down and catch the demon.

The search lasted for two days and three nights, but the lizard monster was not found, nor were any other monsters found.

"It seems that the demon that sneaked into the city is the five-headed lizard monster."

On the street, Zhang Ning said casually as he walked, "The lizard snake monster has been dealt with, and the mission can be completed. Come on, Brother Gu, let's go over there for a drink."

Zhang Ning pointed to a restaurant not far away.

"it is good."

Gu Zheng did not refuse.

I haven't slept or eaten much in the past two days.

Now that things are over, it's time to relax and fill my stomach.

Immediately, the two chatted and walked slowly towards the restaurant.

When passing by a stall selling tofu, Gu Zheng suddenly stopped.

"Come to think of it, my favorite is the drunken duck from Huaiyang... Hmm? What's wrong, Brother Gu?"

Zhang Ning was walking past the tofu stall when he saw Gu Zheng stop. Out of curiosity, he turned back and asked, "Brother Gu, what are you looking at?"

Gu Zheng did not respond.

He just stared at a woman with a big belly behind the tofu stall.

The woman was in her twenties. She looked bloated due to pregnancy and her face was round and fat, not very pretty.

What Gu Zheng was looking at was not her face, but her pregnant belly!

"Bang~bang~bang~"

With a spirit of up to 50 and at a close distance, Gu Zheng concentrated and could clearly hear a strong heartbeat in the woman's belly.

Because of its development, the fetus' heart rate is faster than that of an adult.

but……

Is there any that is faster than three or four times!?
