Chapter 226 Wandering God
Li Qing said that since there were no rats here, there must be something special about it. However, Feng Ling could not see what was special about these buildings except that the statues were different.

Having said that, it is normal for shops to worship the God of Wealth when they are open for business.

Li Qing explained: "The gods of wealth are divided into civil gods of wealth and military gods of wealth. The civil gods of wealth are Bigan, Fan Li and Li Guizu, and the military gods of wealth are Guan Yu, Chai Rong and Zhao Gongming. Mahjong is gambling, and the money gained from gambling is windfall, so it is better to worship the military god of wealth."

"So the gods we worship are different, which isn't special, right?" Feng Ling asked him with a sneer.

Li Qing hesitated, "...It probably doesn't count."

Xu Yiming took out a bottle of water from his bag, unscrewed it, gulped down a few sips, and said, "No matter what, I finally have a place to rest."

Keeping his nerves tense for a long time made Xu Yiming feel extremely tired.

Huangfu Miaomiao was very happy to hear this, and felt that Xu Yiming's words were recognition of her work.

Li Qing followed up by saying, "This is indeed a very suitable place to rest temporarily. The ceiling is sealed, the windows have security nets, and there is no other entrance or exit except for this door. As long as we guard this door, we will be safe."

Huangfu Miaomiao subconsciously straightened her chest, feeling a little proud.

She is indeed more useful than the administrator. She can explore the way, investigate, pass messages and run errands. The administrator can do nothing and can only hide behind Feng Ling.

Just as he was feeling proud, Huangfu Miaomiao was startled when she heard the faint sound of drums in the distance.

Feng Ling also heard it. He frowned and walked to the door, putting his ear against it to listen to the noise outside.

"It seems to be coming this way," she said.

Huangfu Miaomiao opened her mouth, and the pride she had just felt suddenly disappeared. "I... I didn't hear this sound when I was exploring the road just now. I thought it was safe here..."

Feng Ling turned around, put her finger on her lips and hushed softly.

Everyone was silent and dared not make a sound.

The rhythmic sound of drums, mixed with the sounds of other instruments, gradually approached.

Feng Ling listened for a while, then turned to Xu Yiming and said, "Lend me your phone."

Xu Yiming handed it to her immediately.

Both of them are hunters, so they have the same model of mobile phone. Feng Ling made a video call to Xu Yiming, and then answered the call with Xu Yiming's phone. Then he pulled up the rolling door a little, quickly let Xu Yiming's phone out, and pointed the phone camera at the street outside.

This way, she could see what was happening outside while being inside the completely enclosed jewelry store.

The sound is getting closer.

The drum beats are deep and solemn, the cymbals are loud and lively, the bells are crisp and pleasant, and the sounds of several indistinguishable percussion instruments are mixed in, making the entire drum music full of a strong sense of religious ritual.

Feng Ling not only heard the sound of drums, but also the sound of footsteps.

It was so densely packed and fragmented that it was impossible to tell how many people there were.

And as these voices approached, she also felt a strange spiritual pressure. The temperament of this spiritual power was different from hers or Ye Zheng's. It carried a feeling of majesty, solemnity, awe, and celebratory joy.

Why do we feel awe and joy at the same time?
This maze brought Feng Ling more and more doubts, and more and more confusing clues.

After the drum music continued for more than ten minutes, the feeling of mental pressure became stronger and stronger, and Feng Ling finally saw the clues in the video call.

I saw a parade of various rat monsters slowly approaching. Some of them held cymbals, some beat drums, and some held bells. They were busy and lively, surrounding a sedan chair and moving forward.

A god sat on the sedan chair, wearing brocade clothes, a jade mask, and a golden crown on his head. He looked very majestic, but his body shape was a little strange, with the head and body in almost a 1:1 ratio. Feng Ling whispered to Huangfu Miaomiao, "Go out and see what this thing is."

Huangfu Miaomiao nodded and crawled out from the gap under the rolling door.

The parade team had a spiritual pressure, so Huangfu Miaomiao couldn't get too close. She could only follow the team and observe for a few seconds, then quickly returned to the jewelry store.

"It's a big monster. The name displayed is Jade Emperor False God, and the mouse in the team is called attendant." Huangfu Miaomiao said.

"Not the Lord of the Maze." Feng Ling murmured softly while looking at the phone.

The team has walked away and gradually disappeared from the camera.

The mental pressure also subsided.

Xu Yiming exhaled, feeling a lot more relaxed. "This maze is full of weird things."

"Kill..." Ye Zheng opened his mouth and uttered a word with a dull expression.

Feng Ling turned his head to look at her and said helplessly: "Why kill her? She is not the master of the maze. Killing her will be a waste of effort. Besides, we are here to find the statue."

The effect of the sedative had not yet worn off. After being scolded by Feng Ling, Ye Zheng stood there in a daze.

"What should we do now?" Huangfu Miaomiao asked Feng Ling.

"Wait a minute," Feng Ling pulled up the shutter and reached out to take back the phone outside. "Wait until the effect of the medicine on her wears off, then we'll set out and continue looking for the statue."

It will take at least two hours for the effect of the medicine to wear off, and this period of time is also a good time for everyone to rest.

As she was thinking this, she suddenly saw a human-shaped rat jumping out from the street. The rat monster crawled stealthily towards the shop diagonally opposite, and swept its fat, thick tail at the door before slid smoothly in.

Feng Ling was stunned.

There was clearly no mouse just now, how come there is a mouse now?
She quickly glanced around and found that there was more than one. Those hairless humanoid rat monsters were sticking to the ground, climbing pipes, and clinging to windows. They appeared one after another and were drilling into nearby buildings.

Feng Ling took a deep breath and quickly pulled down the shutter door! Lock it!
She threw the phone back to Xu Yiming and said, "Take the time to rest."

Xu Yiming caught the phone, "...Ah?"

The rolling door suddenly vibrated violently!
Crackling, bang, bang, bang! The sound of impact was as dense as hail!
Xu Yiming widened his eyes and thought that the rest time was too tight!

"What's going on? I really checked carefully just now! There is not a single mouse!" Huangfu Miaomiao panicked, "I'll go out and take a look--"

"Come back!" Feng Ling leaned against the door and said irritably, "It has nothing to do with you. It should be the mental pressure of the parade team just now that made the rats temporarily leave this street. Now that the parade team has left, the rats are back."

Li Qing thought for a moment after hearing this, "So, if we want to ensure our own safety, we have to follow that parade team?"

"This is too weird!" Feng Ling was disgusted instinctively, "Are we going to follow the team and join the parade?"

Huangfu Miaomiao wanted to make up for her mistake, so she volunteered, "I can go over and take a look. I'm fast and it's not easy for them to find me. If something goes wrong, I'll come back and let you know."

Feng Ling thought that there must be some purpose for arranging a team of wandering gods in the maze, so it would be a good idea to let the little skeleton go and take a look.

"Okay, come back as soon as you find something wrong."

Make up for yesterday's, and then write today's~
