Jidao: I have ten equipment slots

There are three three-level passages in Hongzhou.

Gu Zheng was the first to enter the first passage. On the other side of the passage was a desert.

There are many kinds of monsters, including eight-legged sand lizards, three-headed sand snakes, four-tailed sand scorpions, and two-headed sand wolves...

The most numerous are the flame sand ants!
Their bodies are as big as fists and they can spit out fire snakes. They always move in groups of thousands.

For this reason, even though most of these fire sand ants are only at the first level, the second-level sand snakes and sand wolves dare not approach them.

The ants kill the elephant.

It is also common among demons.

After all, the coverage of the second-level pressure is limited and cannot last long.

Once one's spirit is exhausted and one fails to keep a distance, while being surrounded by the fire sand ants, the final result will be death, with no body left.

But to Gu Zheng, the fire sand ants are demons that deliver energy, and he wishes there were as many of them as possible.

Crackling~
Boom~!

In the vast desert, a beam of lightning suddenly gathered and fell from the sky, striking a large rolling red sphere. While instantly blowing up the sphere, the arc of electricity that burst out killed most of the scattered fire ants.

Soul capturing!

[Demon Points +1]

[Demon Points +2]

……

A single flame sand ant provides few demon points.

But the number of fire sand ants increased.

There were more than a thousand sand ants, and Gu Zheng used lightning to strike them all.

In the end, one thousand four hundred demon points were harvested!
After killing this group of fire sand ants, Gu Zheng continued to fly over the desert without touching the ground, sensing the breath of demons.

Soon, a group of sand wolves were found.

Boo hoo hoo~!

Three hundred and sixty blades flew out in unison, turning into streaks of light that did not disappear but rushed straight into the Sand Wolf team.

Puff~Puff~Puff~!

Blood splattered everywhere and screams of agony were heard everywhere.

With screams of terror, all the sand wolves were killed in less than three breaths.

After capturing the soul, he obtained more than 800 demon points.

Continue the flyby search.

Sand scorpions, sand snakes, sandworms...

Wave after wave.

Two hours later, Gu Zheng harvested more than four thousand demon points.

Among them was a third-level sawtooth sandworm, from which a magic pill was dug out.

After further searching, the demon was not found.

They seemed to be afraid of Gu Zheng's killing and hid deep in the sand.

Although Gu Zheng could fly underground in the desert, his efficiency would be far lower than taking off in the air.

After thinking it over, he decided not to continue and returned to the passage.

After returning to the present world, he rushed to the second third-level passage in Hongzhou without stopping.

There is a grassland on the other side of this passage.

The field of vision is wide. When flying in the air, you can see everything running on the ground and flying in the sky even if they are more than ten miles away.

Gu Zheng sensed the demon's aura slightly and found a group of violent rabbits.

Three hundred and sixty blades all shot out, killing them all in one charge.

Capturing souls, harvesting more than 600 demon points.

Continuing the search, they found a nest of burrowing monsters with rat-like bodies but dozens of tentacles.

It took some effort, mainly because it burrowed into the ground and escaped quickly through the soil.

Kill them all and gain 1,000 demon points.

As they continued their search, they spotted a third-order, double-headed giant eagle hovering in the sky.

Immediately, he slashed out a few sword auras from the air, and with the help of the Sky-Breaking Sword Intention, he first injured the two-headed giant eagle, then leaped into the air, flew in the sky, and killed it, gaining fifty-three demon points, plus a demon pill.

……

After a day on the vast grassland, I searched for and killed demons, and subsequently gained another 6,200 demon points.

Finally, before a fourth-level Flying Sword Demon exploded, he returned to the passage.

Come back to the present world and rest for half a night.

The next day, before dawn, Gu Zheng went to the third three-level passage in Hongzhou.

On the other side of this passage are caves, just like the underground area when Sifang City fell.

The caves, connected by corridors, form a huge underground network space.

Gu Zheng searched and killed along the way, going deeper and deeper underground.

Harvested more than 4,000 demon points and one demon pill.

Then, before the fourth-level demon chased him, Yu Tu traveled through the soil layers and returned to the passage.

……

He went into all the third-level passages in Hongzhou and eliminated tens of thousands of demons.

The next day, Gu Zheng rushed to Shuzhou without stopping.

Originally, he was recommended by Jiang Hao, who was also one of the Seven Demon Slayers. Unfortunately, Jiang Hao died in the royal capital, in the corpse puppet chaos caused by the Yong family.

For this purpose, Gu Zheng personally visited the commander of the Demon Slaying Division in Shuzhou.

Entering the other side of the passage and killing the demons, the local demon-slaying department was so happy that they couldn't contain themselves.

The commander of the Shuzhou Demon Slaying Division readily agreed and led the way personally.

He warmly invited Gu Zheng to have a few drinks when he came out of the passage.

There is nothing wrong with arguing.

There are two third-level passages in Shuzhou. Enter the first one first. The demon world on the other side is a wilderness. The mountains are not high and there are not many of them, but the demons are very strong.

A group of stone monsters, or stone demons, with amazing defense and great strength.

A first-level stone demon is comparable to other second-level demons.

However, under the cutting of the blade of the second form of the Hun Tian Shield, the first- and second-level stone monsters were all torn to pieces, and the cores of the stone monsters were dug out and turned into demon points.

A total of more than 5,000 demon points were harvested.

Even a third-level stone monster was shattered to pieces by the Sky-Slaying Halberd, and its core and demon pill were all dug out.

Four third-level stone monsters, kill them all!
The threat behind the channel was cleared directly, which took one day.

The next day, Gu Zheng went to the second third-level passage.

The demon world on the other side of this passage is a snowy area.

Anthropomorphic ice monsters, beast-like snow monsters, and terrifying wind monsters pop out from time to time.

Gu Zheng worked hard all day and killed tens of thousands of demons.

A total of 7,300 demon points were harvested, including two third-level snow demons, for which two demon pills were obtained.

Then, he returned to the passage while being chased by a fourth-level wind demon.

……

After leaving Shuzhou, Gu Zheng entered Muzhou and, with the introduction of the generous Zhao Danniu, visited the commander of the Muzhou Demon Slayer Division. The two sides had a friendly meal, and then Zhao Danniu personally led the way to the third-level passage.

There are three three-step passages in Muzhou.

On the other side of the first passage is a body of water, or to be more precise, a large lake, dark and deep. The monsters in the water are mainly a group of sharp-mouthed, scaly monsters that look like cutlassfish.

Fast, powerful, and poisonous.

The group rushed forward, and the ten-meter-long giant crocodile monster was torn into pieces in just three breaths, and all the flesh and blood were eaten up.

Faced with this kind of monster, Gu Zheng directly activated the no-fly tower, blocked the water flow in an area, and then the blades shot out and killed the sharp-mouthed scaly monster.

Capture the soul and harvest more than 500 demon points!
……

Just as Gu Zheng was busy killing the monsters in the water and harvesting monster points.

In the outside world, the commanders and generals of the Demon Slaying Departments in various states of Jing Kingdom, and even in the royal capital, the Demon Slaying Department, the Dragon Protection Department, the Sky Monitoring Department, the Divine Capture Department, the court cabinet, the royal family, all those in high positions, received the news of Gu Zheng's continuous breaking into the third-level passage, killing demons and obtaining demon pills.

"It wasn't enough for him to level the third-level passage in Fengzhou, so he actually ran to Luozhou? Hongzhou?"

"We are in Muzhou now! Haha, General Gu is really hardworking. He builds a third-level passage every day. It's amazing!"

"That's right. The entire tribe of demons on the other side of the third-level passage on my side was wiped out by General Gu."

"The old man got the upper hand by accepting General Gu as his student so early. Yes, and old bastard Xie also got the upper hand!"

"One word, it's useless for you to envy me."

"Haha, what old man Xie said is right. Old Wang, if you are jealous, go to the Demon Suppression Guards below and pick one to be your student or disciple. If one is not enough, pick two. If two are not enough, pick three. You can pick whatever you want! Hahaha..."

In Fengzhou, the headquarters of the Demon Slaying Division, Meng Taiqi held the commander's seal in his hand and laughed excitedly at the contact point connected by the seal. His face was also full of smiles.

After sending the message, he couldn't help but say, "Ping An is such a good runner! Luozhou, Hongzhou, Shuzhou, Muzhou... Could it be that he plans to run through all the third-level passages in the seven states?"

The same topic was taking place at the Demon Slayer Bureau headquarters in the royal capital.

After listening to Elder Yang's report, the Demon Slayer Division's Grand Supervisor Zheng and Xu Jianzhu put down their documents and asked with interest, "Does Gu Zheng want to level all the third-level passages in the seven states?"

"Judging from General Gu's current actions, it's almost certain." Elder Yang said with emotion, "Only General Gu's strength can do this. He can clear a third-level passage every day without rest and rarely gets injured. While killing monsters, he is also honing himself, not to mention the monster pills he can obtain."

"He is preparing to impact the king's body."

At this point, Xu Jianzhu couldn't help but sigh, "Too fast, how long has it been since Gu Zheng was promoted to the Heroic Body Realm? He's already reaching the King Body Realm."

"Yes." Elder Yang's eyes were filled with envy. "I wonder what kind of opportunity General Gu got in the Ninth Heaven Shadow Realm that allowed him to leapfrog two stages in a short period of time and enter the peak of the Heroic Body Realm. Well, he may not have reached the peak yet, but he will soon, right before our eyes!"

Hearing this, Xu Jianzhu glanced at Elder Yang and said calmly, "This change happens once every thousand years. It's a great opportunity for everyone. It depends on who can seize it and use it."

Elder Yang's body tensed up, and he quickly bowed and replied, "Your Excellency is right!"

royal palace.

The Lord of Jing State, Zhong Yi, chuckled after listening to the report from the eunuch chief, "As expected, Ping An."

After a pause, Zhong Yi's eyes flashed, and he said loudly, "Issue an imperial decree to confer the title of Marquis of Qingshi County on Gu Zheng's father, Gu Sihai, in recognition of the merits of Gu Zheng and General Gu for traveling across seven states, breaking through the third-level passage, beheading countless demons, and eliminating the dangers of the passage. As for the fief, it will be Qingshi County!"

"Here~!"

The chief eunuch bowed in response.

There was a look of confusion on his face as he lowered his head.

Gu Zheng leveled the third-level channels of the seven states. If anyone should be given a title of nobility, it should be Gu Zheng himself. Why was Gu Zheng's father given a title of nobility?

There were also fiefdoms, and the entire Qingshi County was divided out.

This means that from now on, Qingshi County will belong to the family with the surname Gu!

Also, although leveling the third-level passages in the seven states was an achievement, it did not completely block the passages.

If, like the Lushoukeng passage in the north of Fengzhou, the earth spirit cover and the sky spirit cover were used to completely seal the passage for a hundred years, then the achievement would indeed be enough to make one a marquis, and it would not be an exaggeration to make one a king.

It’s just been leveled at the moment, but is he also entitled to a title of nobility?

The chief eunuch was puzzled but he did not show it.

After leaving the hall, he immediately hired someone to draft an edict, stamp it, and then send it to Zhong Yi. After Zhong Yi checked it, he quickly sent it to Fengzhou.

……

Muzhou.

Gu Zheng was unaware of the shock from the outside world and the title of nobility given to Zhong Yi.

At this time, he had already changed the passage, which was also the third passage in Muzhou.

The second passage has been passed, and 5,500 demon points and a demon pill have been obtained.

At present, the third passage corresponds to the other side of the demon world, which is a group of volcanoes.

The demon active in this area is Gu Zheng’s old acquaintance, the Purgatory Bone Demon.

One after another, the hellish bone demons with white bones, iron bones, and steel bones shuttled through the caves where lava was flowing.

Outside the cave, the sky was covered with dark clouds, covering an area of ​​hundreds of miles.

Thick smoke billowed high into the sky, and volcanic ash flew everywhere.

The earth shook and rumbled from time to time.

咻咻 咻 ~
Gu Zheng controlled three hundred and sixty blades, which flew in the air, traveled through space, and smashed the hard skulls of the Infernal Bone Demons one by one, extinguishing their soul fires.

Then, capture the soul, capture the soul!

Demon points continued to be harvested, accumulating more than one thousand, two thousand...

When a third-level silver-bone purgatory bone demon jumped out of the crater and rushed towards Gu Zheng, Gu Zheng instantly took out the Sky-Slaying Halberd and chopped it head-on. With two strange hissing sounds, he split the third-level silver-bone purgatory bone demon in half, extinguishing its soul fire and splitting its body in half. At the same time, a small red crystal as big as a fingernail suddenly burst out from the body of the third-level silver-bone purgatory bone demon.

Gu Zheng's attention was attracted at the first moment.

Fire soul!

With his sharp eyes, Gu Zheng recognized the origin of this small piece of red crystal.

The essence of flame is a top-level energy body that contains a trace of the origin of fire.

Fire soul!

This is exactly what the Killing Heaven Halberd needs, to repair the fire soul in the core of the Thunder Spirit and Fire Soul.

shuh~
He picked it up from a distance and controlled the red crystal to fall on the Sky-Slaying Halberd.

Almost as soon as it touched the halberd, the red crystal was swallowed up and disappeared instantly.

Sensing the Sky-Slaying Halberd, there was no major change in the small space inside, and there was no unusual movement at the broken core. However, through the mental connection brought by refining, Gu Zheng still sensed that this red crystal was the fire spirit needed to repair the core of the magic weapon.

The fire spirit bursting out from the body of the third-level silver-bone purgatory bone demon?
Gu Zheng became interested.

Holding the Sky-Slaying Halberd, he jumped into the crater.

Huhu~
The rolling heat waves rushed up from below.

Gu Zheng controlled his body, and the sword energy swirled on his body to resist the high temperature.

As you descend, look around the cave walls.

From time to time, one could see Purgatory Bone Demons poking their heads out of the caves in the mountain wall and roaring at Gu Zheng.

When it descended to the lowest possible altitude and stopped above the surging magma, it glanced around but did not find any fire spirits.

However, under the magma, Gu Zheng sensed a mass of energy that was constantly accumulating.

That was exactly the same aura as the Fire Soul just now!

The fire spirit is under the magma?
Just as he was thinking, there were a series of explosions, "Bang~Bang~Bang~", and three silver-bone purgatory bone demons suddenly jumped out from under the surging magma.

"Roar~!"

Suddenly appearing, the three-headed silver-bone purgatory bone demon roared at Gu Zheng, and its thick and long silver claws grabbed and slapped him as it attacked Gu Zheng swiftly.

huh~~
Gu Zheng swung the Sky-Slaying Halberd, a magical weapon blessed by gods. It cut through the void, bringing out a circle of light film, and cut off the claws with a "swish".

A flash of light swept across the hideous heads of the three silver-bone purgatory bone demons.

Swish! (End of this chapter)
