Jidao: I have ten equipment slots

Chapter 5 [005] The First Piece of Equipment

Zhang Hucheng was surprised, happy, and conflicted at the moment.

What was surprising was that Gu Zheng actually killed the demon.

That's a demon. Although Gu Zheng is a first-rate master, even a master may not be able to kill a demon, let alone a first-rate master?
However, the fact is the fact. Gu Zheng’s action last night was not only successful, but he also brought back the corpse of the demon.

This is also what Zhang Hucheng is happy about, he wants the demon’s corpse!

However, the demon was killed by Gu Zheng and his men, and Gu Zheng had Tong Yuanshan as his backer. If one wanted to get the demon's body from him, he had to bow his head, smile apologetically, and say nice things.

For Zhang Hucheng, this was no less than cutting his face with a knife, and he felt extremely conflicted for the moment.

But no matter how much he hesitated, he had to get the demon's corpse.

So, even though he was filled with hatred and was extremely conflicted in his heart, Zhang Hucheng's face was full of smiles, and the first thing he showed as he walked into the lobby was a flattering expression.

The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he subconsciously turned them into questions about the whereabouts of the demon's corpse.

……

"Demon corpse?"

Gu Zheng turned sideways and saw Zhang Hucheng walking in quickly with anxious eyes. He remembered the trip Zhang Hucheng had made from behind yesterday. His eyes turned and he asked, "Master Zhang wants the demon's corpse?"

Before Zhang Hucheng could speak, Gu Zheng continued, "Master Zhang, you don't know that three of our detectives were seriously injured last night while hunting monsters. They are still in a coma, and after waking up, they can't work. They have to rely on medicine jars for the rest of their lives. I don't know what to do next."

"Sir, how has the government handled situations like this in the past?" Gu Zheng looked at Tong Yuanshan.

Ok?
Tong Yuanshan, who was struggling, blinked his eyes when he heard these words, and then he turned his eyes and cooperated, "Well, if you are injured on duty, the government will pay for the medicine, but it's not much. What happens next depends on the individual. Unless the injury is serious and cannot be cured, a higher pension will be paid."

"But she's still alive." Gu Zheng frowned. "She'll be dependent on medicine for the rest of her life, and she can't work. She still has to take care of the elderly and children at home..."

"cough!"

Zhang Hucheng coughed, put on a smile, and interrupted, "The situation described by Captain Gu is indeed difficult to handle. But since he was seriously injured while hunting monsters, I am willing to personally pay 100 taels of silver, no, 200 taels of silver, to the three detectives, plus some money for the wound medicine, to relieve them of some pressure."

"Thank you, Master Zhang!"

Gu Zheng immediately turned to Zhang Hucheng, bowed gratefully, and saluted, "On behalf of the three detectives, I would like to thank Lord Zhang for giving each of them 200 taels of silver for medical expenses! Lord Zhang is so kind, thank you Lord Zhang!"

"no……"

"You're welcome, Master Zhang. They should be thankful for this." Gu Zheng said quickly, "Their whole family will be very grateful for Master Zhang's reward."

"Yes, County Lieutenant Zhang, I believe they will remember this kindness for the rest of their lives." Tong Yuanshan echoed, saying seriously, "County Lieutenant Zhang, don't worry, I will keep an eye on this money and will never let anyone else embezzle a penny!"

“……”Zhang Hucheng.

I thank you~
Two bastards!

Zhang Hucheng was secretly resentful in his heart, but he gritted his teeth and forced himself to swallow the anger of being plotted against.

Three people, two hundred taels.

Gu Zheng said that each person got 200 taels, which was 400 taels too much. Damn thief!
Zhang Hucheng endured it for the demon's corpse.

"Haha, no need to thank me, after all, I was injured while hunting monsters."

Zhang Hucheng's mouth twitched, and then he smiled again. "By the way, where is the body of this demon? To be honest, my third cousin who works in the government office has become fond of eating the flesh and blood of demons. I originally thought that there were no demons in Qingshi County, but who knew..."

"Master Zhang knows about the existence of demons?" Gu Zheng interrupted, looking directly at Zhang Hucheng, "After the tragedy in the city, Master Zhang knew that it was the work of demons?"

"Of course I don't know." Zhang Hucheng denied it immediately. "I only knew about the monster last night after Captain Gu led his men to successfully hunt it. I also only recently learned that my third cousin likes to eat it. Originally, I didn't believe it. Who knew that this monster really exists. Of course, so far, I haven't seen the monster. I wonder if Captain Gu can tell me where the monster's body is now?"

"The demon's body is in the detention room. We worked hard all night and succeeded in hunting it down. We were thinking of selling it to earn some money."

Gu Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "After all, the corpses of demons can be eaten, and I think everyone will want to try it."

Zhang Hucheng tensed up, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he chuckled, "That's too much trouble. How about Captain Gu sell it to me directly? I'll pay three hundred taels of silver to buy the demon's corpse!"

"Of course you can. Lord Zhang just bought it, which saved us a lot of effort." Gu Zheng thanked him and faced Zhang Hucheng again, clasping his fists and saluting.

He knew when to stop. All in all, he took out nine hundred taels of silver from Zhang Hucheng's pocket, which was enough.

Anyway, the most valuable part of the demon rat's corpse has been obtained by Gu Zheng.

Gu Zheng originally planned to burn the remaining flesh and blood.

With Zhang Hucheng paying the bill, he made a net profit of three hundred taels, which was just enough to give ten taels of silver to each of the people who took action last night.

……

So, Gu Zheng led the way, taking Tong Yuanshan and Zhang Hucheng, and went straight to the classroom and into the dark room.

Tong Yuanshan came here to broaden his horizons and see what monsters look like.

Zhang Hucheng was inspecting the goods.

The rat was as big as a calf and had a snake-like tail. It was the first time for the two men to see a monster and they were both shocked.

So when Gu Zheng performed the autopsy, Zhang Hucheng thought that the wound on the demon rat was left during hunting and did not think of it as anything else.

If you don't split the demon rat in half like this, it will never die!

This is what Gu Zheng said.

Zhang Hucheng had no doubts. After reading it, he left the criminal arrest cell, went back to get the money first, and then took the body away.

……

"Zhang Hucheng refused to say more, but it's no big deal. Don't worry, Gu Zheng. I have already written to my mentor about the information about the demons. There will be news back in ten days at most."

In the Ru'nan Prince's Courtyard, Tong Yuanshan stood at the door of the bedroom and whispered to Gu Zheng, "On the contrary, Gu Zheng, you must be careful after going down the passage. If you sense danger, you must retreat immediately."

"Gu Zheng understands!"

He clasped his fists tightly and nodded, then Gu Zheng picked up the torch, held a long knife, and walked into the entrance of the cave where the stone slabs and stone pillars had been removed.

After walking a dozen steps along the foul-smelling passage, I saw oil lamps installed on the walls at regular intervals on both sides of the passage.

But now there is no oil in the lamps.

Gu Zheng didn't even try to light it. He just held the torch and walked into the darkness step by step.

Reach a spirit of 10 and always sense the movement ahead.

As a result, we kept walking all the way, but found nothing except a few bones occasionally.

There were traces of demon rats crawling on the ground.

Staring at these traces, I continued to move deeper.

Turn, go straight, go straight, turn.

I walked for more than half an hour without stopping, and suddenly a light appeared in front of me.

Immediately, Gu Zheng slowed down his pace and approached slowly.

The ability to perceive is always maintained, and it is alert to where the light is coming from.

It was not until I got to the side that I realized the light came from the top.

At the end of the passage is the bottom of an abandoned well.

The light is projected down from the wellhead.

The snowflakes in the sky were still floating, falling to the bottom of the well, and even accumulated into a thick layer.

Inserting the torch into the crack in the wall, Gu Zheng stood at the bottom of the well and waited for a moment to make sure there was no unusual movement outside the well.

He tiptoed, stepped on the wall of the well, and flew out.

call!
After jumping out of the well, without waiting to land, Gu Zheng quickly glanced around while still in mid-air.

There was no demon rat, and no one was seen either.

Outside the wellhead was also a deserted garden.

Outside the garden, there were no signs of human habitation, only a few abandoned stone houses.

shuh~
With a tiptoe tap, Gu Zheng braved the snow and flew out of the garden full of rocks. He followed the traces left by the demon rat and got out of the ruins.

As soon as I came out, I saw the entrance to a village at the foot of the mountain in front of me on the right, and several figures were moving unsteadily.

"Someone?"

Gu Zheng raised his eyebrows, kept walking, and quickly rushed over.

"My fellow countrymen..."

The greetings stopped abruptly, and Gu Zheng stopped walking, his pupils shrinking.

The swaying figure seen a moment ago looked like a human, but its skin, eyes, and body were not human at all.

Their lifeless, whitish eyes, their rotten skin, and even the bones inside could be seen. They were shaking and moving because two of them had broken legs, and another one had a hollowed-out abdomen with a large hole running through it, with all its internal organs gone. The last one had half of his head gone.

But these four people did not fall down, and they still moved slowly like living people.

The aura of death emanating from his body was extremely strong.

The living dead?
Zombies?

Gu Zheng frowned.

Instead of finding the demon rat, the zombies were discovered first.

Although these zombies did not attack him, they shook and moved instinctively, with their white eyeballs seeming to be unable to see Gu Zheng.

Gu Zheng did not dare to be careless.

Avoid them from the side and enter the village quietly.

The village was dead silent.

There were no living people. No, to be more precise, there was not a trace of living creature.

There were no chickens, ducks, cows, sheep, pigs, dogs, not even the chirping of birds or the sound of insects.

Only in the corners and houses, there were villagers standing still or swaying like dead bodies. As Gu Zheng went deeper, he could see them again and again.

The village was not big, and Gu Zheng walked through it quickly. After looking around, he did not find a single living person.

Standing on the hillside behind the village and looking into the distance, a mountain shrouded in fog comes into view.

"Dalong Mountain?"

The underground passage dug by King Runan in the villa actually led directly to Dalong Mountain.

Dalong Mountain is nearly ten kilometers away from Qingshi County.

For some reason, Gu Zheng discovered that the Dalong Mountain in the distance looked a little different.

I can’t really tell what happened.

Looking back at the village where there was no living person, there was also a strange smell filling the air.

“…Go check it out!”

After pondering for a moment, Gu Zheng turned around and rushed towards Dalong Mountain.

His intuition told him that the demon rat killed last night was most likely from Dalong Mountain.

Rushing down the hillside, passing through the farmland, a new village appeared before our eyes.

However, this village was destroyed by huge stones and stone slabs.

It was originally a wooden house with a thatched roof and almost no stone walls.

Stones as big as millstones or even as big as houses were falling down, and no house could withstand them.

As for the strangely shaped stone bars, their lengths are even more exaggerated, ranging from ten, thirty, to fifty feet.

When entering the village, Gu Zheng discovered that in addition to stones and stone bars, there were also bones of unknown animals and even large skeletons.

The bones are ten or two meters long, as thick as a bucket, and the skeleton is comparable to an entire building.

These things fell into the village and directly destroyed it.

Gu Zheng walked along the way and didn't see a single corpse.

There were quite a few traces of demon rats, and not only the claw marks of demon rats, but also the claw marks of other unknown giant beasts.

"Are they all demons?"

"Where do they come from?"

As Gu Zheng searched vigilantly, his mind was filled with doubts.

There was not a single living person in two consecutive villages.

Obviously, almost no one was still alive in other villages around.

Are all the people in the village near Dalong Mountain dead?

Gu Zheng's heart skipped a beat.

Just then——

[Equip or not? 】

……

Suddenly, a line of prompts flashed through my mind quickly, and appeared in front of my eyes.

Gu Zheng stopped immediately, surprised and happy.

"Equipment? The tusk of the Sky-Walking Demonic Elephant? Equipment effect?"

Does the equipment bar have this function?
Or is this the correct way to open the equipment bar?

The depression and heaviness of the previous moment was suddenly swept away at this moment.

While Gu Zheng was excited, he looked around, looking for the "tusk of the sky-walking demon elephant".

Then, two steps to the right, I saw a huge cylindrical stone bar about seven or eight feet long, with pits all over it, exuding an invisible aura, mostly gray and white, with a small part of it black. It was lying quietly on the ground, one end of which was pressing down on a wall and two huts.

“…Is this the tusk of the Sky-Walking Demon Elephant?”

Gu Zheng blinked and responded in his heart.

equipment!

shuh~
In a flash, the huge cylindrical stone bar disappeared.

In one of the slots in the equipment column, there was an extra complete virtual tusk.

……

His muscles suddenly swelled, his bones suddenly strengthened, his skin instantly turned bronze, and a mysterious force suddenly appeared in his body that seemed to burst his body. In his mind, there emerged a desire to vent, roar, and destroy everywhere.

Huh~!

Gu Zheng opened his mouth and exhaled. The breath materialized and penetrated the air like a sharp arrow more than ten meters away.

"This... is the bronze elephant body?"

Seeing his clothes being stretched out like a tights, and feeling the powerful force filling his whole body, Gu Zheng forced himself not to scream to the sky.

I couldn't suppress the excitement in my heart.

Bronze elephant body!

The effect of this equipment is too exaggerated.

The effect was added, and he suddenly became a non-human being.

And this is only unlocking 0.05%. What would happen if it was % unlocked?
