At the start of the game, you have one equipment slot; the effects of unequipping the equipment rema

Soon, Xiao Hei had devoured all the blood and bits of flesh on the ground.

Although Xiao Hei was still a Tier 1 BMW, Mu Yang clearly felt that its physique had become stronger.

It seems that a breakthrough is not far off.

After thinking for a moment, Mu Yang took out the corpse of the white-haired rat demon.

Right in front of Xiao Hei, he casually ripped off its two hind legs.

"Eat."

Looking at the warm mouse leg, Xiao Hei was so excited that tears streamed down his face.

Enough said, loyalty!!

As the two hind legs went into its belly, Xiao Hei's aura suddenly changed.

Successfully upgraded to a Stage 2 BMW!

"Whew!!!"

Little Blackie reared up and neighed, extremely excited.

Then it quickly stepped forward and affectionately nuzzled Mu Yang with its big head.

"Not bad, it wasn't a waste of money."

Mu Yang smiled and patted Xiao Hei's head.

Sensing the slightly erratic aura emanating from Xiao Hei, Mu Yang knew that it had just broken through and needed to consolidate its power.

So he tore off the white-haired rat demon's two remaining front legs as well.

Anyway, third-tier monsters aren't of much use to him, so he might as well train Little Black properly.

As Xiao Hei's level increases, he runs faster and has more stamina, making it easier for him to travel and complete tasks.

"Um?"

Just as Mu Yang was feeding Xiao Hei the two front legs of the rat demon, he suddenly noticed that the rat demon's description had changed.

......

[Equipable Item: Rat Demon Corpse (Complete)]

[Rank: Tier 3]

【Equipment Effect: ① Robust Physique (Blue): Physical fitness is greatly improved (physical strength, total stamina, and reaction speed are all improved).

② Abundant Qi and Blood (White): The total amount of Qi and blood has slightly increased.

[Permanent fixation conditions: Equip this item for ten full hours, or slay any monster of rank three or higher while equipping this item.]

......

"The entry has changed?"

Mu Yang was taken aback.

Originally, there were three entries: two blue and one white. But now there is only one blue and one white entry.

The originally white "Swiftness" attribute disappeared, and the "Vigorous Health" attribute also turned into a white quality.

He always thought that entries were fixed and unchanging.

Is it because the items were damaged to a great extent?

With some curiosity, Mu Yang threw the headless and legless white-haired rat demon corpse onto the ground, then drew the black gold four-sided mace from his waist and struck it twice.

The little black dog, who was eating, was startled by this sudden action.

After splitting the rat demon's corpse into three pieces, Mu Yang retrieved the black gold four-sided mace and looked at it again.

Of the three sections, the one connected to the neck is the largest, about half the original size, and was cleaved in two by Mu Yang's mace.

When Mu Yang looked at it, the ink-colored panel appeared.

The quality and quantity of entries changed again, and the entry for "abundant Qi and Blood" disappeared.

At this moment, only the "Strong Physique" stat remains, and it has become a white-quality stat.

As for the other two sections of the corpse, they were only a quarter of their original size.

And there is no panel displayed.

After thinking for a moment, Mu Yang drew his mace again and split the largest section in half.

The ink-colored panel rippled and changed again.

......

[Equipable Item: Rat Demon Corpse]

[Rank: Tier 3]

【Equipment Effect: ①Muscle Growth (White): Grants a slight increase in strength.】

[Permanent fixation conditions: Equip this item for ten full hours, or slay any monster of rank three or higher while equipping this item.]

......

Now, even the name of the entry has changed.

"Muscle growth, isn't that the term for dried pork...?"

Having completed this stage of testing, Mu Yang roughly understood the situation.

The more complete the monster's corpse, the higher the quality of the attribute; conversely, the worse it is, the less useful it is if it is broken to a certain extent.

After the test was completed, Mu Yang collected one section of the rat demon's corpse as a mission token, and let Xiao Hei eat the rest.

Although third-tier demons can only provide low-grade Xuan-level merit, as long as the accumulated number is large enough, it can be exchanged for high-grade Xuan-level merit.

The exchange rate is fixed at 10 to 1.

Some demon-hunting captains who are not good at killing actually quite like to hunt down third-tier demons.

Simple, safe, and effortless.

Soon, Mu Yang rode Xiao Hei away from the mountains and forests.

Prepare to head to the location of the second mission.

This time it was located about two hundred miles north of Linhe Village.

Compared to the first rat demon hiding in the mountains, the monster in this second mission is quite bold.

It was a deer demon with the cultivation level of the fourth rank, extremely fast and skilled in ranged attacks, which specialized in hunting along the main road.

They even specifically target the weak.

For example, low-level martial artists who appear to have low cultivation levels, or caravans that are too large to manage both the beginning and the end.

According to the mission information, a caravan, for safety reasons, used its connections to hire a second-class demon-hunting captain from the Demon Slayer Division as a bodyguard at a high price.

As a result, the deer demon, relying on its speed, managed to destroy several carriages and eat several people while simultaneously engaging the second-class demon-hunting captain, before escaping into the mountains and forests and leaving calmly.

Unable to catch up, the second-class captain had no choice but to record and report the information.

Overall, this deer demon is primarily speed-based, with ranged attacks as a secondary tactic, making it a very troublesome type.

I just don't know how fast it is.

And so, Mu Yang continued his journey on Little Black while processing the information about the deer demon in his mind.

After advancing to the second tier, Xiao Hei's leg strength improved significantly.

With its four hooves flying, the trees on both sides rushed backward at almost twice the speed of before.

After about two hours, Mu Yang arrived at the area where the deer demons were active, as recorded in the intelligence.

This is a rolling hilly area.

The official road winds through a valley between two hills, with dense forests on both sides, the branches and leaves so thick that almost no sunlight can penetrate.

Mu Yang took out the Demon-Seeking Compass and told Xiao Hei to slow down and explore step by step.

At the same time, it uses its keen sense of smell to distinguish the smells in the air.

He thought this bold deer demon would leave behind many traces of its demonic aura, but to his surprise, after walking for half an hour, he still found nothing.

"It's well hidden."

Mu Yang thought to himself, his gaze sweeping over the dense forest on both sides.

Just as he was considering whether to go into the woods and search the area, a fierce fighting suddenly broke out not far ahead.

Interspersed throughout were the crisp sounds of metal clashing, the sharp whistling of wind blades cutting through the air, and the muffled thuds of heavy objects falling to the ground.

Mu Yang's eyes narrowed slightly. He pushed off his horse and leaped into the air, heading towards the direction from which the sound came.
