Jidao: I have ten equipment slots

Chapter 77 [076] Being followed?
"Unfortunately, the Storage Leaf can only hold dead objects."

Gu Zheng sighed and drew his knife to dig out the entire ant nest.

I found a few more broad leaves, weaved them into a frame, placed the ant nest inside, and put it on the handle.

Continue along the side of the mountain, going deeper into the ground.

Along the way, miasma, poisonous gas and deathly air can be seen from time to time.

But the demon was not touched.

Generally speaking, this area integrated into the site tends to be wetlands and tidal flats.

The demons are mostly aquatic, hiding either in the mud or in the water.

It is difficult to walk on mud, and it is even more difficult to step into water.

As a result, there are only a few monsters on the road.

Gu Zheng was not in a hurry either.

The key is to enter the field and look for rare objects, magic gold, and source fruit.

Killing demons is just a by-product.

If you can come across an equipable item, that's even better.

Walking in the empty wilderness, there was no one in sight, but the sounds of insects and birds were endless.

In the distant sky, large birds with a wingspan of four or five meters swooped down to the ground, carrying with them strong winds. They quickly grabbed their prey from the mud and water and flew them high into the air.

Gu Zheng was walking on the gravel ground, and suddenly turned around and looked behind him.

"No?"

He concentrated his mind and pushed his shadow-reflection ability to the extreme, but did not find the target he was tracking.

Ever since he discovered the soul-eating ants, Gu Zheng sensed that there was a mysterious presence following him.

But he couldn't find it and couldn't see it.

Buzz~!

Unlocking the bronze elephant body 100%, with the blessing of spiritual power, the huge power of perception sweeps across hundreds of feet around.

Still found nothing.

No, to be precise, the mysterious person who was following him was not found.

There are still quite a few little monsters underground and in the corners.

However, the amount of blood that these little demons could provide was limited, so they ran away before Gu Zheng could get close.

Demons are cruel and bloodthirsty, but they can also be fearful and afraid.

Gu Zheng now has the life breath of a peak alien body. Demons of too low a level dare not approach him, let alone attack him.

"The body is invisible, and the aura is also hidden? And the body is very small?"

Turning back, Gu Zheng continued walking, carrying the soul-eating ant nest.

The mysterious being had been following him all the way, but had not revealed a single bit of malice.

This is why Gu Zheng, although curious, did not panic too much and jumped into the air and glided away.

And this following lasted for two days.

In two days, Gu Zheng harvested another six source fruits.

I didn’t find any magic gold or rare items.

The demons killed more than a dozen of them, and the soul capture obtained 21 demon points.

The number is too small, so naturally there are no demonic skills.

The mysterious being following behind would occasionally disappear for a moment, then continue to follow.

Gu Zheng was almost getting used to the other person's presence.

The field covers a large area, and the regular array center has never been discovered.

I never met Yuan Qianjun, Qing Yixiao and the others again.

Hai Qingshu and his sister also never met again.

I have seen other people a few times.

Especially the three men and one woman who were wearing black robes to conceal their appearance and figures. Gu Zheng met them three times in two days.

"boom!"

A loud noise came from several hundred meters in front of the right.

Gu Zheng, who was walking on the mountain path, suddenly pointed his toes, jumped into the air, and jumped to the top of the mountain.

Standing on the hill, looking towards the direction where the sound came from.

On the bank of a winding river more than three meters wide, four figures were seen moving quickly and colliding with each other.

Two of the figures were wrapped in gray light, another was purple, and another was silver-white. All four of them were at the level of Alien Body-Reflecting Shadow.

The unrestrained attack created a shock wave that swept across the muddy river bank, splashing mud all over the sky.

The flowing river water was stirred by the strong energy from time to time, and rolled up into the air, falling like drizzle.

"Xiao Dutian? Dugu Feixue?"

Gu Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly.

Among the four people, the one surrounded by purple electric light was Xiao Dutian, and the one wrapped in silver-white light was Dugu Feixue.

Gu Zheng had even seen the other two. Two days ago, when he was searching for magic gold in the ravine, these two people passed by and mocked Gu Zheng as a fool.

Of these four people, Xiao Dutian and Dugu Feixue were obviously in the same group, but the other two joined forces to attack, which was quite ingenious, as if they had telepathic connection.

"Huh? They're here too?"

While observing, Gu Zheng discovered that the four men and women in black robes were also not far away, watching the fight between Xiao Dutian, Dugu Feixue, and the other two.

When Gu Zheng looked over, the other four seemed to have noticed something and looked over as well. When they saw it was Gu Zheng, they were startled at first, then they gathered together and whispered a few words.

The next moment, four people flew towards Gu Zheng.

Swish~swish~
Without touching the ground, he used his body movements to float to the other side of the hill and stopped ten steps away from Gu Zheng.

The four of them clasped their fists and saluted Gu Zheng.

"?"

"General Gu." An old voice sounded, and the four men lowered their hoods to reveal their faces. The oldest, wrinkled old man faced Gu Zheng and saluted, "I am Zheng Xiting. I am not from an aristocratic family, nor do I work for the court. After hearing about General Gu, I have always admired him. Today, you and I meet again. I feel that we are destined to be together. For this reason, I would like to make friends with General Gu. I wonder if General Gu is willing?"

"My name is He Zeng."

"My name is Yang Shouyun."

"My name is Jin Yanzi." Jin Yanzi, the only woman among the four, who had a gentle face and was about thirty years old, smiled gently and said, "General Gu must have a lot of questions that he wants to ask, but I'm sorry, we can't reveal our identities for the time being."

"I wanted to make friends with Mr. Gu, not just on a whim. I've always wanted to do that. However, I've lacked the opportunity to meet him. I'm telling him the truth today to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."

"I also hope that General Gu will be mentally prepared."

"..." Gu Zheng had a calm expression, his eyes swept across the faces of the four people one by one, and suddenly pointed at Xiao Dutian, Dugu Feixue and the other two, and asked, "What are they fighting about?"

"what?"

Jin Yanzi was stunned.

He Zhe and Yang Shouyun were also stunned.

Zheng Xiting was the one who reacted quickly. He smiled bitterly and clasped his fists, saying, "They fought over a rare item."

"What strange thing?" Gu Zheng asked.

Just ignore what the four people said just now.

Making friends without telling your identity?

And let him prepare himself mentally first.

Is there such a way to make friends?
Being so mysterious, Gu Zhengcai won't serve you.

“…It’s a wooden fish.”

Zheng Xiting adjusted his breath and replied, "Literally, it is a fish in wooden form, as big as a palm, able to swim in water and at low altitude, but its specific ability is currently unknown."

"Is that the fish you're talking about?"

Gu Zheng pointed behind the four people, at the top of a tree less than ten meters to the right. There was a green-brown, palm-sized wooden fish that looked like a carp. It was lying between the leaves and spitting out transparent bubbles.

Um? ?

Upon hearing this, Zheng Xiting, Jin Yanzi, He Zhe and Yang Shouyun all turned their heads to look over there.

"that's it!"

Zheng Xiting was shocked. "But wasn't this wooden fish snatched from Dugu Feixue by Mo Jiaxin and hidden in the spiritual bag? How did it end up here?"

"I want to too... huh?" Gu Zheng was about to raise his eyebrows.

Swish!
An afterimage flashed past.

The wooden fish on the treetop was caught by a small figure and held under its claws.

swoosh~
The afterimage flashed again.

The petite figure held the wooden fish and came in front of Gu Zheng.

One paw pointed at the soul-eating ant nest in Gu Zheng's hand, and the other paw pushed the wooden fish in front of Gu Zheng.

There is a message conveyed in those lively blue eyes.
