Jidao: I have ten equipment slots

Ok?
Gu Zheng raised his head and glanced at Nangong Yaoguang.

"There are several ancient demons in that ruin."

Nangong Yaoguang kept smiling and continued to transmit the message in a mysterious voice, "Brother Gu also knows that we can't use ordinary levels to determine the strength of ancient demons."

"The ancient demon's aura from the ruins I found was only at the second level. But it gave me the feeling that it was stronger than the third level!"

"That's why I didn't go in to explore. I left it there for now and will go there later."

"The person lurking nearby may be able to help us get rid of the ancient demon in the ruins!"

Nangong Yaoguang winked at Gu Zheng.

Gu Zheng was speechless.

No matter whether it is a heroic body, a king body, or a true body, as long as one is a human, there is a limit to his lifespan.

The same goes for demons, whether they are level three, level four, or level five, no matter how strong they are, they will die when the time comes.

But due to some special reasons, the lifespan of some demons has been extended to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years.

These demons are collectively called ancient demons.

The realm of the ancient demons is fixed when their lifespans change. The first level will always be the first level, and the second level will always be the second level.

But the special nature of the ancient demons makes their strength full of instability.

Breath and strength can both burst out across levels.

If you gain something, you have to pay something.

Once each ancient demon is formed, its range of activities will be restricted.

That is, being trapped in a certain area forever.

It's like being in jail!

No matter how much time passes, they will always stay where they are.

But who among those who have wisdom can endure eternal imprisonment?
For this reason, every ancient demon possesses the attributes of mania and fury.

Any foreign entity that enters their "territory" will be their target of attack.

Nangong Yaoguang’s purpose is very simple.

Lead the person lurking in the dark into the ruins to fight with the ancient demon.

The best thing is to fight until both sides are defeated and die together!
……

"Brother Gu, do you think it's okay? Let's go?"

Nangong Yaoguang asked.

"go!"

Gu Zheng nodded, "I'll have to trouble Brother Nangong to lead the way."

“No problem.” Nangong Yaoguang smiled and stuffed two precious pills into his mouth.

"Let's go!"

With a tap of his toes, Nangong Yaoguang leaped into the air, continuing on his journey while healing his wounds.

Gu Zheng followed behind.

Huh~huh!
The cold wind accompanied by snowflakes floats across the sky and earth.

It was white everywhere.

There is no fixed rhythm between day and night in the Shadow Realm.

Based on the speed of time, Gu Zheng judged that it was almost the second day when he came in.

However, this time was denied by Nangong Yaoguang.

The speed of time in the shadow realm is different from that in the real world, it is faster here.

One day is almost as long as three days in the outside world.

The entrance only lasts about a month, so you can only stay in the Shadow Realm for a maximum of ten days before you have to leave.

One day in the Shadow Realm is equivalent to three days in the outside world!
……

"arrive."

Nangong Yaoguang, who had almost recovered after swallowing the precious pill, suddenly spoke, descended from the air, and stopped at the edge of a large pit.

It’s better to say it’s a depression than a pit.

The area was equally vast, and with Gu Zheng's eyesight, he could barely see the edge of the other side of the depression.

The height difference is nearly 100 meters.

It is also because of this height that the snow in the depression is not piled up level.

"The ruins are behind the ice over there."

Nangong Yaoguang said as he continued to leap into the air and fly past.

Gu Zheng followed behind.

The two went down first, and then flew to the right along the rock wall between the drops, the rock wall covered with ice.

"Brother Gu, is that person following us?"

On the way, Nangong Yaoguang sent a mysterious message to ask Gu Zheng.

"I'm following you."

Gu Zheng also transmitted a mysterious message, "Following very closely."

"That's good."

Nangong Yaoguang raised his lips and said in a mysterious voice, "Brother Gu, just follow me later. The ancient demon in the ruins is a three-headed wind dog. At least the one I saw before is a three-headed wind dog. They are very fast and can harness the power of the wind. They can appear anywhere in the cave."

"The ruins I found are located in an underground cave. The entrance is blocked by ice."

"That's it!"

Nangong Yaoguang spoke the last sentence, pointing at the large chunks of ice hanging down from the rock wall in front of him like noodles.

Whoosh! Whoosh!
Nangong Yaoguang and Gu Zheng stopped at the same time, standing in the air in front of the ice.

"The entrance is this way."

Looking around, Nangong Yaoguang descended a little and approached the gap between two layers of ice.

Although it is called a crack, the gap is actually very large, big enough for an adult man to pass through.

Of course, it is not straight, but curved. The inside is not smooth either, and ice spikes and icicles are clearly visible.

"I'll go first."

Nangong Yaoguang said something, lowered his head and was the first to crawl into the gap.

Amidst the magical surge, the whole person slipped in like a loach.

Gu Zheng followed closely behind.

Nangong Yaoguang cleared the way and cleared away the ice spikes and ice edges.

Following the gap, turning again and again until it darkened in front of our eyes, we entered a large underground cave.

Most of the cave is natural.

Only in the central area are there stone houses built. Although over time, more than half of these stone houses have collapsed and been abandoned, their rough outlines can still be seen.

"go!"

Nangong Yaoguang transmitted the message mysteriously and took the lead in quietly approaching a half-collapsed building that looked like a temple on the left.

Seeing this, Gu Zheng also restrained his breath and flew over.

The two had just entered the building and were hiding under a wall that was still standing.

"He's coming in."

Gu Zheng used miraculous voice to inform Nangong Yaoguang.

"So fast?"

Nangong Yaoguang raised his eyebrows and transmitted a mysterious voice, "It seems that the other party is not going to hide anymore. The ruins will be found soon. There is no need to hide anymore."

"It just so happens that I have left some tricks on the other side."

As he spoke, Nangong Yaoguang formed seals with his hands, and a magical power surged, and he disappeared in a flash.

"Bang~!"

An explosion suddenly sounded.

The location of the sound was about a hundred meters away from the wall where the two were hiding, and the direction was right opposite.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

A sharp whistling sound, almost followed by an explosion, came from all directions.

"Woohoo~"

“Ah! Ah~!”

A low roar, along with the whistling wind, reached my ears.

In Gu Zheng's "shadow" field of vision, four demons wrapped in wind balls rushed out at high speed, first rushing towards the place where the explosion sounded, but halfway, they pounced on a thin old man who followed Gu Zheng and the other man into the cave.

"Get out~!"

The skinny old man had obviously expected this to happen.

He didn't even have time to hide before being entangled by four demons.

buzz~
The physical pressure of the heroic body and divine species exploded, releasing a suppressive aura that was only at the second level on the four demons.

But unfortunately, these four demons with wind balls on their bodies are not normal demons. They are ancient demons. The pressure of the heroic body realm has no effect on them.

Whoosh whoosh~~! In the fierce wind, the four ancient demons launched a frantic attack on the old man.

Gu Zheng clearly sensed that the aura of these four ancient demons was constantly expanding and rising in frenzy.

Originally at the middle stage of the second level, he suddenly climbed to the peak of the second level, then entered the third level, then the middle stage of the third level, and finally the peak of the third level!
"Boom boom boom~"

The sounds of collisions and explosions caused by the fighting kept ringing in the cave for a while, lingering back and forth.

Although the aura of the four ancient demons surged and their power exploded, the old man was, after all, a heroic body and a divine species, and his counterattack was equally terrifying.

With one punch and one palm strike, plus the swinging of a spear, and the magical surge, the ice spikes that quickly condensed, the four ancient demons quickly revealed their true faces.

The silver-blue body, each head is two meters tall and three or four meters long, with three heads, and wind blades swirling around it.

Three wind dogs!

"Damn it!"

The old man was shocked and angry, "All of you, die!"

Boom~boom~boom!
The sounds of explosions became more and more intense.

Four three-headed wind dogs surrounded the old man, knowing no fatigue, no pain, no fear, they only knew how to charge and kill violently.

Gu Zheng could feel the manic and crazy atmosphere.

"They are the ones who followed the Yang family team into the Shadow Realm."

Nangong Yaoguang looked at the old man who was fighting through the small hole in the wall and transmitted a mysterious message.

"Which family?" Gu Zheng asked in a mysterious voice.

"It seems to be the Han family. Yes, it is the Han family!"

Nangong Yaoguang looked at the old man's real skills and the magical fluctuations he felt with a sharp gaze, "Nine-life Ice Demon, Han family, Ice Soul Spirit Body, Ice Swallowing Palm, these are the symbols of their family."

"Nine-life Ice Demon?" Gu Zheng paid more attention to the word "nine lives". "Does this Han family really have nine lives?"

"That's not true."

Nangong Yaoguang smiled and said in a mysterious voice, "The Nine-Life Ice Monster is a powerful race among the monsters. Not many of them have nine lives. A fifth-level Nine-Life Ice Monster only has six lives. The Han family has absorbed the blood power of the Nine-Life Ice Monster, and the Heroic Body Realm has a maximum of three lives!"

"Three lives?"

Gu Zheng muttered, "That's pretty impressive too."

"It's powerful, but if you want to be resurrected, your body must be mostly preserved when you die."

Nangong Yaoguang transmitted a mysterious message, "For example, if the head is completely shattered, no matter how many lives you have, you can't be resurrected!"

...That's the truth.

After all, regeneration of severed limbs is not rebirth by dripping blood.

The head and heart were broken too much, and the power of the demon bloodline alone could not repair them.

Only treasures like the Fruit of Regeneration and the Heart of the Giant will do.

Of course, there is also the "Holy Wood Spirit Flame".

……

"Roar~!"

"Boom~!!"

The roar, accompanied by a loud bang, suddenly exploded.

As Gu Zheng and Nangong Yaoguang watched the fight from a distance, the old man killed two three-headed wind dogs, but one of his arms was also bitten off, and there was also a hideous bite mark on the calf of his right leg, with blood flowing.

"Go to hell!"

The old man roared in anger, and the icy power around him suddenly gathered, enveloping him and the remaining two three-headed wind dogs.

Kakakka~
"Bang!!"

The ice invaded, quickly turning into an ice sculpture before suddenly exploding.

In the midst of the ice chips, the two three-headed wind dogs broke into pieces, flew into the air, and fell to the ground.

The old man himself was also rigid and motionless, half-kneeling on the spot, all the breath in his body had disappeared.

"Ha, dead."

Nangong Yaoguang transmitted his voice mysteriously, and said with a smile, "They really died together. But let's wait before going over. I wonder how many of this old guy's three lives are left..."

Boo hoo hoo~!

A cold light flashed suddenly and flew through the air.

laugh!laugh!laugh!
Several rays of light crisscrossed and penetrated the old man's body and head, breaking it into more than a dozen pieces that fell to the ground.

swoosh~
Gu Zheng strode out of the hidden wall and retracted the blade.

"..."

Nangong Yaoguang opened his mouth and fell into a daze.

After a moment, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Brother Gu, you are too..."

"Too rash?"

Gu Zheng followed up, pointing at the old man's body parts, and whispered, "Cut into this shape, no matter how many lives he has, can he be resurrected?"

Nangong Yaoguang, "..."

Call ~
Gu Zheng took the two storage bags from the old man.

Then the magic surged, controlling the fire to ignite the old man's blocky body.

"If he is burned to ashes, can he be resurrected?"

As Gu Zheng spoke, he threw one of the storage bags to Nangong Yaoguang.

"The spoils of war, one for each person."

Nangong Yaoguang, who had subconsciously caught it, shook his head and threw it back to Gu Zheng, "No, no, this is your trophy, Brother Gu. I didn't do anything to help."

"Then everyone who sees it will get a share."

Gu Zheng threw it back to Nangong Yaoguang and said, "If Brother Nangong doesn't want to take it, then I won't enter this ruins."

"……Fine."

Nangong Yaoguang said nothing and took the storage bag.

Then, he looked at the corpse of the three-headed wind dog and frowned, "It seems that the existence time of these four ancient demons is coming to an end."

"Really?" Gu Zheng didn't feel anything.

Soul capturing!

[Demon Points +98]

[Demon Points +101]

……

The four three-headed wind dogs harvested a whopping four hundred demon points!

One hundred per head!
The demon energy contained in the ancient demon is so rich.

Gu Zheng wanted to find the other three wind dogs to hunt and kill them.

But despite such a big commotion just now, only four of them came out.

Apparently, there were only four three-headed wind dogs in the ruins.

"It can't be wrong. The ancient demon has fallen into a violent state. Its strength and aura should be the same."

Nangong Yaoguang replied, "Just now, the four ancient demons only had a surge in aura, but their strength was average. In this situation, it can only be that the time of the ancient demons is coming to an end."

The ancient demons are not immortal.

They can exist for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, but when the special powers bestowed upon them disappear, they will die.

"Then it seems they are finally free."

Gu Zheng echoed.

"relief?"

Nangong Yaoguang was startled for a moment, then reacted and nodded, "It's true. For the ancient demon, death is a relief."

"Forget it, let's not talk about them. Without the ancient demon, we can slowly search this ruins."

"Brother Gu, let's go, let's go!"

Nangong Yaoguang greeted excitedly and walked towards the nearest ruined street.

"it is good."

Gu Zheng chuckled and followed slowly.

The two walked into the street, and all they saw was collapsed walls and stones, nothing else.

There is not a single bone left.

After crossing a street, the two separated, Nangong Yaoguang went left and Gu Zheng went behind.

The perception of the third stage of the Haoti is released.

As Gu Zheng walked along the way, the environment of the stone houses on both sides came into his sight one by one.

There is nothing unusual, nothing special.

After turning three streets, I still found nothing.

However, several strange insects he was carrying suddenly woke up one after another, stretched out their bodies, bounced out of Gu Zheng's body, and sank into a stone house.

"Are there other strange insects?"

Gu Zheng was slightly surprised, and followed behind, slowly walking into the stone house... (End of this chapter)
