Jidao: I have ten equipment slots

Although Gu Zheng had no idea what the Zhong family's plan was, he could guess a little.

Without completely breaking off relations, the only thing the Zhong family can do is to appease the commanders of each state and the demon-slaying generals. As for the means of appeasement, distribute the source fruits!
Precious pills and precious medicines can be tampered with, but the source fruits cannot be tampered with.

The commanders of all states and the demon-slaying generals will feel at ease after eating this.

The second thing is to break through the true body realm!
As far as Gu Zheng knows, the number of people in the True Body Realm in the entire world can be counted on one hand.

None of the three known True Body Realm realms are from the eight vassal states. They are aloof from the outside and hardly ever interfere in natural disasters or the fight for the fortune of the dynasty. Even the source fruits and rare objects born in the field are not tempted.

When you reach the realm of true body, the level you come into contact with seems to be different.

Among the people of the Zhong family, Zhong Duxiu has the greatest hope of breaking through to the true body realm.

But how difficult is it to break through the true body?
Among the noble families behind the eight vassal states, which one does not want to enter the true form?
Zhong Duxiu is not the only one who thinks this way.

However, after so many years, no one has succeeded.

When it comes to opportunities, Gu Zheng believes in himself more.

As long as the ninth realm of death is born and he gathers 600,000 demon points, he will be able to break through to his true body!

The birth of the realm of death requires opportunities, and the demons are reaping the rewards every day.

In Nanyun Prefecture, and even in several prefectures west of Fengzhou, Gu Zheng cleared out the demons and harvested the demon spots every day like plowing the land.

There is no news about the Devouring Zerg, the creature he wants to kill the most.

One day, just as Gu Zheng was about to go out to the prefecture south of Fengzhou, a strong and ancient aura suddenly surged from the county town.

To be precise, he rushed out from the Gu Mansion.

swoosh~
With a flash of his figure, Gu Zheng's true body descended and found the source of the breath.

It's actually...

"Fat Tiger?"

Gu Zheng was speechless. He landed from the air and walked into the house with all the doors and windows open.

"Woo!"

The little fat cat woke up from a nap and was jumping on the bed to stretch his muscles.

When he saw Gu Zheng coming in, his blue eyes lit up, and he jumped onto Gu Zheng's shoulder with a whoosh, yelling "Woo woo".

"What? Are you hungry again?"

Gu Zheng smiled, took out the insect tower, and released half of the soul-eating ants.

"Woo!"

The little fat cat shouted happily, opened his little mouth, and swallowed all the soul-eating ants into his stomach with two "whooshes".

"Woooo~!"

"More?" Gu Zheng raised his eyebrows. "No more, this is all for now."

"Woo~~" Fat Tiger tilted his head, raised his short legs, and pointed at the Bug Tower, "Woo~Woo~!"

“… Other strange insects cannot be eaten.”

Gu Zheng patted the little fat cat on the head and said unhappily, "You slept for such a long time this time, what new abilities have you gained?"

Fat Tiger’s abilities are quite remarkable. If he grows up or acquires new abilities, things will be even more different.

After all, the origin of the chubby cat is very ancient.

"Woo?"

Hearing this, the fat cat tilted its head, raised its paw, and shook its head, "Woo!"

"No?"

Gu Zheng didn't believe it. "You slept for so long, but you didn't grow or gain anything?"

"Woo~!" Fat Tiger nodded heavily, "Woo~Woo!"

"Just sleeping?"

Gu Zheng's mouth twitched, "You slept for a really long time."

"Woo!" Fat Tiger looked up.

"...You are still proud." Gu Zheng rubbed the little fat cat's head vigorously, threw it outside, and said, "Okay, go and have your fun."

"Woooo~!"

Fat Tiger stomped on the air with his bare hands, creating ripples, then shouted excitedly and plunged into the void, disappearing.

Ok?
Gu Zheng raised his eyebrows.

The entire Qingshi County is now within his sensing range.

The integration of the three domains was always in operation. When Fat Tiger attacked, Gu Zheng immediately realized something was wrong.

The little fat cat actually traveled through the void!
It was not the previous teleportation, but a real shuttle through the void, ignoring Gu Zheng's domain and spiritual realm, and jumping directly from Gu Mansion to the roof of a theater in the west of the city, crossing half of the county.

This ability...

I knew that after sleeping for such a long time, there would be some gains.

Although the little fat cat's ability to travel through the void is different from the towering mole cricket, it is still very powerful whether attacking or escaping.

Even if it was Gu Zheng, he would not be able to track Fat Tiger's whereabouts if he was outside Qingshi County.

In particular, it is still unknown what the longest distance the fat cat can travel.

If it goes directly from Fengzhou to Gwangju, across half of Jingguo, who can catch it?

"Little Fatty, that's awesome."

Gu Zheng grinned.

Go out and prepare to rush to the south of Fengzhou.

At this moment, a message came through telepathy.

Yinu and Mo Jiateng informed Gu Zheng that a group of devouring Zerg had appeared in a county town in Hengzhou.

Devouring Zerg?

Gu Zheng decisively jumped into the air, took the high-altitude route, and rushed to Hengzhou at a high speed.

Whoosh!
swoosh~
Harnessing the power of heaven and earth, he arrived in Hengzhou at the fastest speed and landed at the location told by Mo Jiateng.

In a county town, countless black and red insects that looked like a combination of ants and cockroaches, with two sets of wings and the size of a baby's fist were flying around the city.

Once they caught the running people, they turned into bones within two breaths.

Wow~Wow~
On the streets and alleys, skeletons were lying almost in large numbers.

Buzz~!

Gu Zheng descended from the sky, creating a hurricane field that covered the entire city.

Chi chi chi~!

The wind blades shuttled back and forth, transforming into countless cold lights, as if they had eyes, cutting and killing the black and red bugs.

Visible to the naked eye, black and red bugs are flying all over the sky, cut into pieces.

Soul capturing!

[Demon Points +1]

[Demon Points +1]

……

A black and red bug, providing a little demonic point.

Although the quantity is small, there are many black and red bugs!

Chi chi chi~
A cold light flashed, and large pieces of black and red worms were cut into pieces.

In less than five breaths, all the black and red bugs in the city died, and Gu Zheng harvested more than 18,600 demon points.

A wave of fat!

All the black and red bugs died, and there were not many people left in the city.

Gu Zheng sensed that there were less than a hundred left.

These people are either in the basement or in the water.

It was just because he ran fast and was lucky that he met Gu Zheng.

Otherwise, you will die in the end.

swoosh~
There was a sound of breaking wind, and a figure flew in from outside the city.

"Owner!"

Mo Jia Teng fell to the ground and knelt in front of Gu Zheng.

"Yes, the super body has reached its peak."

Gu Zheng glanced at the Mo family vine and said calmly, "Where did these Devouring Zerg come from? Have you checked?"

"My lord, I just tracked them down. These Devouring Zerg came from the eastern city. There are more Devouring Zerg in the city."

Mo Jiateng explained, "I also discovered that these Devouring Zerg did not immediately absorb the essence of flesh and blood after devouring humans and animals, but carried it on their bodies and headed northeast. Among those batches of Devouring Zerg, there are many third-level ones."

"Not absorbed immediately? Carried on the body?"

Gu Zheng raised his eyebrows, "You mean, there is a Devouring Insect Queen? The other Devouring Insects are collecting the blood and flesh essence for this Queen?"

"I haven't found the Devouring Zerg Queen yet, but given the current situation of the Devouring Zerg, there may be a Zerg Queen behind them." Mo Jiateng replied cautiously.

"Makes sense."

Gu Zheng thought, "Let's ignore the insect queen for now. It's more important to find other Devouring Zerg. You lead the way!"

"Yes!"

Mo Jiateng responded respectfully, stood up and jumped into the air, flying in front.

Gu Zheng followed lightly.

Call ~
call!
The two first headed east, looking for the Devouring Zerg.

Soon, a group of black and red insects flying in the forest were caught. This group of devouring insects was a circle larger, and their shells were more red.

The aura released belongs to a second-level demon.

Chi chi chi~!

Gu Zheng flew across the sky and broke into the insect swarm.

"Om~"

"Puff puff!"

After a series of strange noises, thousands of second-order Devouring Zerg were all killed and shattered into pieces.

Soul capturing!

[Demon Points +2]

[Demon Points +3]

……

A second-level Devouring Zerg provides 2 to 3 points of magic, and the maximum is 4 points.

In this wave, Gu Zheng gained more than 15,400 demon points.

continue!

Mo Jiateng led the way, and Gu Zheng followed behind, and they entered a county town.

There were bones everywhere in the city, not a single living person, or chicken or duck, all were dead.

The entire county was filled with Devouring Zergs scattered everywhere.

Gu Zheng had a calm face and held up the hurricane field.

Chi Chi Chi!
Wind blades shuttled through every corner of the city.

After three breaths, the domain was retracted.

The demon point harvested more than 18,700.

continue!

Mo Jiateng led the way, and Gu Zheng followed behind.

The two men left the city, flew over a distance, and landed in a valley.

In the center of the valley, a group of first- and second-order Devouring Zerg mixed together and formed a ball.

Huh~huh!
Gu Zheng descended from the sky and held up the prairie fire spiritual realm. The raging flames turned into blades, drowning and devouring the Zerg with crackling sounds.

Chi chi chi~
Boom~!

With a dull sound, the Devouring Zerg that had gathered together all died and broke into pieces, or simply became debris all over the ground.

Gu Zheng harvested more than 23,000 demon points!

Another wave of fat!

Continue on your way.

Mo Jiateng was in front and Gu Zheng was behind, and they arrived at the city.

The city was being attacked by a swarm of Devouring Zergs. The city was filled with screams, cries and shouts.

Mixed in with it were roars, as well as sword lights, sword energy, knife lights, and fist marks that soared into the sky, sweeping away and strangling the Zerg.

When Gu Zheng came over from the air, he saw a light shield supporting half the sky in the north direction of the city. The light golden light covered an area of ​​about a hundred meters.

Inside the light shield, there were hundreds of people hiding, as well as a dozen Demon-Suppressing Guards who were attacking.

Outside the light shield, dense swarms of Devouring Zerg were attacking frantically.

Among them, three Devouring Zergs as big as vehicles were the most powerful. They spewed out columns of deathly smoke, and the corrosion shields kept shaking and dimming quickly.

"Hold on, hold on!"

Li Shixing shouted loudly, his body and face were covered with sweat, his voice was hoarse, but he was not panicked.

However, his heart was beating so fast that it seemed to burst into his throat.

Level 3 Devouring Zerg!

Still three!

There are thousands of other second-order Devouring Zerg and tens of thousands of first-order Devouring Zerg.

With so many Devouring Zergs, how long can their formation last?

Li Shixing didn't know that all he could do was cheer him up and encourage him.

The magical power is continuously output and added to the array plate to maintain the operation of the array.

Once the formation is broken, none of them can escape.

The other demon-suppressing guards knew this as well, and each of them attacked with all their might, swallowing the precious pills and infusing themselves with magical powers.

As for the people, they collapsed on the ground, looking at the sky in despair.

Although they did not die for the time being, everyone else in the city died, collectively buried in the belly of the devouring insects.

But in this situation, they won't survive long.

The light shield became fainter and fainter, and cracks appeared.

Once broken...

Buzz~!

The void suddenly trembled.

The people on the ground did not notice it, but Li Shixing discovered it.

"what's the situation?"

He was startled and looked nervously at the scene outside the light shield.

Then, we saw the densely packed Devouring Zerg that were impacting the light shield, breaking into large pieces and falling to the ground.

Including three third-level Devouring Zergs, they screamed in fear and tried to turn around and escape, but were cut into pieces by the wind blades.

Huh~!

huh~~
A smelly hot wind blew through the city.

Outside the translucent light shield, Devouring Zergs fell all over the ground, covering the ground.

died?

Just like that, all of them died...all?
Li Shixing opened his eyes wide and his mouth opened.

The other Demon Suppression Guards were the same, standing there in a daze, shocked and silent.

The desperate people were also at a loss.

"Got...saved?"

After a while, a man with a thick waist and strong arms broke the silence with a whisper. As the words came out, he suddenly woke up and cheered, "Hahaha, I'm saved. I don't have to die anymore! Woohoo~"

At the end of his excited shouting, the big man burst into tears.

"Saved? Saved!! We don't have to die!"

“Haha, woooooo~ You don’t have to die, you don’t have to die!”

"Dad, Mom, my son is alive! He's alive~ Woo woo~"

"..."

Under the light shield, the place was in an uproar; the crowd was crying, laughing, and shouting loudly.

"Who... who saved us?" A demon-suppressing guard swallowed and took a breath to regain his strength.

"I don't know. I didn't see it."

"I didn't see it either, but it must be the King Body! Only the King Body can kill all the Devouring Zerg so quickly. Which King Body of the court has come?"

"..."

Others around were talking and looking around.

The infusion of the magical formation has stopped. The light shield has disappeared, and the broken corpses of the Devouring Zerg are scattered all over the ground outside.

“…It’s King Gu.”

Li Shixing spoke hoarsely, his expression was complicated.

"Who is King Gu?" a demon-suppressing guard nearby blurted out.

"It was the demon-slaying general of Fengzhou Demon-Slaying Division, Gu Zheng!" Li Shixing said in a resounding voice, "It was Prince Gu who saved us just now."

Li Shixing raised his head and looked towards the north. He just saw the scene when Gu Zheng left.

From beginning to end, Gu Zheng killed the Devouring Zerg and rescued them, but he had no intention of coming down to meet them.

"What, it's King Gu?"

"Isn't Prince Gu with the imperial court...why would he save us?"

"Why do you think Prince Gu is so popular? In Prince Gu's eyes, the court never comes first, the people come first!"

"That's true. The Devouring Zerg are wreaking havoc throughout the city. We asked for help, but the court didn't respond. I'm afraid King Gu heard the news and rushed over immediately..."

"There's really no comparison between this person and others."

"What kind of imperial court is this? It's worse than..."

"enough!"

Li Shixing shouted, interrupting his men's muttering.

It's fine if they discuss it in private.

We are outside now, and if we continue to talk about it, we might end up causing trouble.

However, they all knew it very well.

When it comes to caring for the people, the imperial court and Gu Zheng cannot compare! (End of this chapter)
