Fantasy: I can equip everything

Under the midday sun, ripples appeared in the air in the distance.

Two crane-headed, humanoid demons floated in mid-air.

First, there were two tiny dots, which only Chen Chuang's eyesight at that moment could see clearly.

But just two breaths later, it appeared like a ghost not far in front of them.

Chen Chuang looked at the two auspicious crane demons in front of him with a solemn expression, his right hand subconsciously touching the jade pendant around his neck.

[Wenchang Pendant (Rank 7)]

[Grade: Blue]

[Attribute Bonus: None]

[Special Effect: Contains the creator's infused internal energy, which changes according to the user's beliefs to form a shield for attack defense. Note: The shield will become ineffective once the internal energy is depleted and needs to be replenished. Current remaining internal energy: 84]

Equipment Requirements: None

[A protective item made by the Ministry of Works of the Great Qian Dynasty. Every seventh-rank county magistrate who leaves the capital to take up his post receives one. It can ward off evil spirits and defend against attacks from foreign enemies.]

It was precisely because of this pendant that Chen Chuang was able to lull his opponent into a false sense of security and then seize the opportunity to eliminate him in one fell swoop.

In Li Yurou's hands, this jade pendant could only rigidly emit its protective shield.

Chen Chuang, however, was able to use the equipment slots to adjust the shield's strength, energy density, and other parameters.

With the addition of the fine thorn he had just acquired, Chen Chuang was confident that he could handle one or two more crane demons of the same level as before.

Unfortunately, this time it was a crane demon at the True Qi Realm who came.

In my field of vision, both monsters had agility attributes exceeding 200 points.

It's likely that before Chen Chuang could even deploy the barrier, the slender crane beak would have already pierced his brain.

What should I do?

Instinctively, Chen Chuang immediately activated the protective shield, shielding himself and Li Yurou within it.

Li Yurou, who had just thought she was safe, now looked at the two crane demons that had suddenly appeared and trembled as she leaned against Chen Chuang.

"Why are there two more? What is the purpose of these monsters...?"

when!

Before Li Yurou could finish speaking, the shield protecting them suddenly deformed and began to tremble violently.

Chen Chuang blinked sharply.

The two crane demons in sight appeared to be completely motionless.

But where did that attack just now come from?

At this moment, the male crane on the left slightly opened and closed its slender beak, its voice wavering:

"The Wenchang Pendant of the Great Qian Dynasty, behind these two humans, there is at least a seventh-rank official. My son's death was not unjust."

He appeared quite composed, but the mother crane flew into a rage.

"I told you to keep an eye on the kids, and you can't even handle this simple task!"

With a grumble, she exuded a demonic aura, her murderous eyes fixed on Chen Chuang and his companion, saying, "I don't care what their backgrounds are, they will all be executed for my son!"

Gong He sighed and said slowly, "Even with the combined strength of the two of us, it would take at least a quarter of an hour to break through the Wenchang Pendant's defenses."

"A great terror is about to unfold. Are you really willing to waste your time here?"

Upon hearing his words, the mother crane seemed to recall something, her breath caught in her throat, and a look of fear flashed in her eyes.

But then her eyes narrowed, and she said fiercely, "Fifteen minutes is enough! Those things won't arrive so quickly!"

After a moment of silence, Gonghe nodded helplessly and said, "Then, so be it."

As he finished speaking, he slightly raised his hand.

boom~

With a muffled thud, the protective shield around Chen Chuang shook violently once again.

This time, he saw clearly the source of the attack.

Those are the feathers of a male crane.

Like a hidden weapon thrown from the hand, it arrived in an instant.

The immense power it carried was even greater than what Chen Chuang could achieve with his full strength.

This immediately reduced the internal energy value on the Wenchang Pendant by 1 point.

In this way, it only takes 84 strikes for the internal energy value inside the Wenchang Pendant to return to zero.

At that time, without the protection of the shield, Chen Chuang and Li Yurou wouldn't even be able to withstand a single blow.

dong dong!

There were two more tremors.

The two crane demons launched an attack together.

Immediately afterwards, his entire body was filled with demonic energy, and more than a dozen long black feathers floated around him.

Just as they were about to launch their attack, a loud explosion suddenly rang out in the sky.

That is...

Upon hearing the somewhat familiar explosion, Chen Chuang couldn't help but look up.

A figure sped across the sky.

Then, as if they had spotted them, their forward momentum came to an abrupt halt.

Watching the figure slowly descend, Chen Chuang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"We're saved..."

Li Yurou asked, puzzled, "Who is that?"

Before Chen Chuang could answer, Xiao Qianzhong waved his hand.

Rumble!

A thunderclap suddenly erupted in the clear blue sky.

Two bolts of lightning, each as thick as a water bucket, descended from the sky and struck the two auspicious crane demons with pinpoint accuracy.

No matter how fast it is, can it be faster than the Thunder?

Obviously not!

The two ferocious monsters, which had been so menacing just moments before, were instantly vaporized upon being struck by lightning.

With a wave of his hand, he killed two True Qi Realm Crane Demons.

Xiao Qianzhong's expression remained completely calm.

It's as if all I just did was swat two bugs.

pat!

He landed gently in front of Chen Chuang, still floating, like an immortal.

Chen Chuang took a deep breath, clasped his hands in thanks, and said, "Thank you for saving my life... Ouch, ouch, ouch!"

Before he could finish saying thank you, Xiao Qianzhong collapsed headfirst.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and caught it in time.

Otherwise, this expert who slew the demon of true qi with a wave of his hand would have fallen flat on his face.

Only then did Chen Chuang notice that Xiao Qianzhong's clothes were tattered, and his exposed back was covered in blood and gore.

It seemed to be corroded by some kind of poisonous gas, emitting a strong stench.

With trembling hands, Xiao Qianzhong used his last bit of strength to take out a small jade bottle from his Sumeru Ring.

But his arms trembled and he couldn't open it, so he could only weakly say, "Quick! Give it to me..."

Chen Chuang immediately opened the jade bottle, poured out a black pill, and put it into his mouth.

The pill had barely touched Xiao Qianzhong's pale face when it entered his mouth for a moment, but a hint of color returned.

He took a deep breath and swayed as he got up.

"What hurt you? Was it the leader of that demonic tide?"

Chen Chuang couldn't help but ask.

Judging from the strength Xiao Qianzhong just displayed, he could easily kill a demonic creature at the True Qi Realm with a wave of his hand.

Even a demon at the Gangsha Realm shouldn't be injured like this, even if it's outmatched.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qianzhong took a deep breath, a solemn expression appearing on his face.

"The terrifying thing isn't the monster tide!"

"But it's those things that drove the demon tide here!"

What drove the demon tide here?

Chen Chuang frowned immediately.

What could possibly drive away all those monsters?

There was even a Crane Demon at the True Qi Realm among them.

"The locust plague is here!" Xiao Qianzhong said urgently, his voice hoarse. "The land of Liangzhou has turned into a yellow sand. In at least three days, and at most five days, the locust plague will move south."

"I must get back to the state capital as soon as possible to report this matter!"

"You should also tell Li Zhiyuan as soon as possible to lead the entire population of Qinghe County to relocate to the prefectural capital!"

After saying this, he offered no further explanation, and soared into the sky once more, flying away into the distance.

Locust plague?

Did the locusts devour the crops, causing these monsters to migrate south in search of food?

But that doesn't make sense. If that were all, why would Xiao Qianzhong be so nervous?

Chen Chuang turned his head in confusion, only to see Li Yurou's face was pale and her eyes were filled with despair.

"Qinghe County is finished!"
