I Have 10 Equipment Slots-Chapter 133 - 101: Add Points! Add Points

Gu Zheng stopped his Fire Manipulation, sheathed his blade, and stood still in the air, sensing for any movement in his surroundings.

Logically speaking, the Meatball Demon Fiend had exploded and died. Even without a Bloodshed, he should have been able to collect Demon Points. But what about the Demon Essence?

A Tier 2 Demon Fiend should have Demon Essence.

Even if the Meatball Demon Fiend had exploded into smithereens, there should have been some residual energy fluctuations from its Demon Essence.

But now, there wasn’t the slightest fluctuation!

’That thing isn’t dead yet?’

Gu Zheng’s sharp brows furrowed.

There were countless types of Demon Fiends, each with strange and varied abilities.

Their overall strength wasn’t represented by sheer physical power alone.

The division into Tier 1 and Tier 2 was just a relative classification of their Life Level.

It was just like the Mortal Body, Alien Body, and Super Body classifications for humans...

Gu Zheng had read the relevant files from the Demon Slayer Bureau. Some individuals in the Alien Body realm had exceptionally prominent power or Spirit, even stronger than some in the Super Body realm.

In the past, such people were said to be born with Divine Power or an inherently strong spiritual perception.

Demon Fiends were even more exceptional in this regard.

It wasn’t impossible that the Meatball Demon Fiend had used a life-saving trump card to deceive Gu Zheng’s senses.

’I have to keep searching!’

Given the Meatball Demon Fiend’s desperate need to replenish its energy, it wouldn’t linger in Wulong Mansion.

The most likely scenario was that it would head west into Sishui Prefecture and then find an opportunity to devour people!

At this thought, Gu Zheng popped a Rejuvenation Pill into his mouth and circulated his energy to absorb it, replenishing his surging Divine Wondrous power, before soaring west.

SWISH~

WHOOSH!

After flying several hundred meters, he remembered something and turned back. Amidst the scattered dust and debris, he collected a few wisps of the Meatball Demon Fiend’s aura.

With its aura, it would be much easier to find the Meatball Demon Fiend—if it had truly escaped!

WHOOSH!

WHOOSH~

A strong wind blew, howling between heaven and earth.

Gu Zheng flew over a row of towering mountain peaks and entered Sishui Prefecture.

He soared through the sky, sensing for the Meatball Demon Fiend’s aura and periodically checking it against the sample he had collected.

The part of Sishui Prefecture adjacent to Wulong Mansion was Cold Yin County.

Beyond that was Xuanhe County.

Slightly north of Xuanhe and Cold Yin was Divine Water County.

The three counties were clustered together in a triangular formation.

South of the three counties lay a stretch of uncultivable sandy land. At the end of this sandy land was one of Fengzhou’s famous rivers, the Celestial Water River.

The Celestial Water River did not pass through Wulong Mansion. As it neared the mansion, it made a wide turn and flowed southeast.

Gu Zheng entered Cold Yin County first. He made a circuit but found nothing unusual.

He moved on to Xuanhe County and still found nothing out of the ordinary.

He did, however, run into a squad of Demon Suppression Guards on a mission.

SWOOSH!

In a flash, he descended from the sky and landed in front of the squad of Demon Suppression Guards.

"Tang Jingtiao, Xu Heng, Chen Donghe, Lv Yan, and Liang Tianpeng greet you, My Lord!"

The five Demon Suppression Guards, all with auras at or above the Mountain-Shaking level of the Alien Body realm, faced Gu Zheng and saluted with clasped fists.

"What mission are you on?"

Gu Zheng returned the salute and asked, "I am Gu Zheng."

"To answer you, Lord Gu, we are tracking a branch of the Wise Demon Race." As the leader, Liang Tianpeng stepped forward and replied, "According to our findings, this branch of the Wise Demon Race came down from the north. The Double-Faced Hero Demon Fiend that caused chaos at Jinshan Temple also came from the north."

"Mm."

Gu Zheng nodded. These five were now acting as Demon Hunters.

’Hunting for Demon Fiends...’

’Wait, Demon Hunting?’

"Do you have any special methods for tracking Demon Fiends?" Gu Zheng asked.

He then added, "To be honest, I am also tracking a Demon Fiend—a Tier 2 New Demon Fiend."

A Tier 2 Demon Fiend?

Upon hearing this, the eyelids of Tang Jingtiao, Xu Heng, Chen Donghe, Lv Yan, and Liang Tianpeng all twitched.

’As expected of the famous Gu Zheng!’

’He’s already hunting Tier 2 Demon Fiends.’

"Lord Gu, Chen Donghe here on our team has an Exotic Beast that can track the auras of Demon Fiends."

Liang Tianpeng stepped aside, gesturing to a small, slender young man with sallow skin and remarkably bright eyes. "It’s thanks to this Exotic Beast that we’ve been able to continuously track the Wise Demon without losing its trail."

"Chen Donghe, at your service, My Lord!"

The small young man took two steps forward and bowed nervously.

"There’s no need to be nervous."

Gu Zheng smiled. "Could I borrow your Exotic Beast to first search for the Tier 2 Demon Fiend? I’ve severely wounded it, and it’s in desperate need of energy. If it discovers a remote village or town, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"After we deal with it, I’ll join you to eliminate that group from the Wise Demon Race you’re tracking."

"Of course, no problem!"

Liang Tianpeng quickly agreed. He then looked at Chen Donghe and urged, "Da He, what are you spacing out for? Hurry up and help Lord Gu find that Demon Fiend."

"Yes, yes."

Chen Donghe hastily complied, pulling a pocket-sized mouse, no bigger than half a palm, from his robes.

It was a silvery-white pocket mouse with large ears.

"Lord Gu, do you have the aura of that Tier 2 Demon Fiend?"

Chen Donghe asked, holding the pocket mouse cupped in his hands as he looked at Gu Zheng.

"I do."

Gu Zheng transferred the wisp of the Meatball Demon Fiend’s aura he had collected to Chen Donghe.

The latter’s Divine Wondrous power surged as he received it, and he brought it close to the pocket mouse.

"Treasure, come and sniff..."

PLOP~

The pocket mouse twitched its nose, took a sniff, and immediately fell over, its four legs sticking straight up in the air, completely still.
