Chapter 228 The End of the Team

"This is not the team we saw earlier." Li Qing frowned and said, "In the team that was just parading, the deity sitting on the sedan chair was the Jade Emperor, and in this team, it's Lady Jinhua."

"Empress Jinhua?" Feng Ling was slightly stunned and looked at the sedan chair.

Because it was a bird's-eye view, she couldn't see the appearance of the gods inside, but could only see the gorgeous clothes exposed outside the sedan.

But Li Qing, like Huangfu Miaomiao, was able to see the names of these maze creatures, so he immediately noticed something.

"Golden Flower Goddess is also known as the Goddess of Childbirth. She is the deity in charge of fertility." Li Qing explained, "The 17th day of the fourth lunar month every year is the Golden Flower's birthday. Good men and women will kneel down in the temple and pray for the birth of a boy or a girl, or for a safe birth. It is said that it is very effective."

Feng Ling looked at the team moving forward, his expression showing annoyance, "Since the gods they worship are different, will the routes of the parade be different? If so, we won't be able to find the little skeleton even if we follow them. We have to find the Jade Emperor we saw earlier."

Ye Zheng frowned and said, "What are you talking about? Even if the gods they worship are different, as long as we follow them, we will definitely be able to find some clues. We can't deviate from the direction just because one person in the team gets into trouble. Our purpose in entering the maze is to find the statue and the master of the maze, not the little skeleton."

"You can't say that..." Xu Yiming said hesitantly, "Miao Miao is trying to help us, and that's why she's missing now. We can't just ignore her."

Ye Zheng replied coldly: "I didn't say to ignore her, I just hope that the general direction will not deviate. A team must have clear goals and distinguish between the primary and secondary priorities. Otherwise, there will be a lack of discipline and efficiency, and the action will easily fail."

Xu Yiming felt that Ye Zheng's words were too harsh, and he couldn't help but retort: ​​"We are not inspectors, what discipline do we need? We are just civilian hunters. If the operation doesn't go smoothly, we can just retreat!"

Ye Zheng felt particularly offended by Xu Yiming's words. His blood-red pupils immediately widened and he shouted, "Do you think you are an alien?! Humans have no way out! You can retreat, but where should the people of Guangshan City retreat to?! That crow is lucky enough to be alive today. If it died, the rats we see now would be the future of Guangshan City!"

"You!..." Xu Yiming felt that he had died unjustly. He just hoped that everyone would not be under so much pressure. How did it become that he did not care about the lives of the people of Guangshan?
"You two shut up." Feng Ling's head hurt because of their noise.

She said to Ye Zheng: "I can give you another shot of sedative if you want to become a burden."

Ye Zheng lowered his eyelids, and the two moth antennae on his head also drooped down. He looked gloomy and silent.

Feng Ling looked at Xu Yiming again, "I told you not to provoke her, don't provoke her."

Xu Yiming also felt that he had asked for trouble, and said awkwardly: "She is very strange, and her tone of voice is like that of an inspector."

Feng Ling curled his lips and made up a story: "She is just a hunter with a very high level of ideological awareness. She regards Ye Zheng as her idol, so she became like this."

Xu Yiming was slightly startled, then slowly turned his head to look at Ye Zheng again, "...No wonder."

Ye Zheng: “………………”

Li Qing reminded them: "The procession has gone far away."

"Let's go and catch up and see." Feng Ling took a few steps back, took a deep breath and ran, then jumped high and landed on the rooftop of the next building.

She turned around and saw Ye Zheng also jumping over.

This distance between buildings was no problem for Xu Yiming. He could jump more than ten meters away without any weight on his body.

Only Li Qing was left standing there alone.

Feng Ling thought to himself, "Oh no! I forgot about the Taoist priest."

"I'll do it, I'll do it." Xu Yiming was enthusiastic and immediately jumped back, carrying Li Qing on his back, and followed Feng Ling and Ye Zheng again. The four of them ran and stopped on the rooftop, following the parade team, always paying attention to keep a distance.

This journey was extremely safe.

It seems that as long as you follow the procession, you can get protection and get rid of the endless harassment of the rat monsters.

My mood also changed accordingly. I felt inexplicably relaxed, happy and cheerful, as if I was longing for something.

As soon as Feng Ling noticed this mentality, he immediately slowed down his pace and put more distance between himself and the parade team to prevent his spirit from being affected.

She thought to herself: This is so weird, is this how the little skeleton got lost?
Feng Ling slowed down, and the others followed suit.

Xu Yiming couldn't help but say, "It's obviously a dangerous thing, but I don't know why I feel so relaxed. It would be great if I could just keep following like this, quietly and without having to worry about rats."

Ye Zheng snorted coldly, "Who said there are no mice? Isn't that it?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Ling looked towards the parade team, then glanced around and indeed, he found a rat in an alley.

It was an extremely skinny humanoid rat, which was now slowly crawling out of the alley, then standing upright, like a human, walking into the parade and blending into the group.

Feng Ling was a little surprised. "I thought there were no rats nearby because the spiritual pressure of the wandering god had driven away the rats. I didn't expect that rats would join the team on their own. What are they trying to do?"

Ye Zheng frowned and said, "The spiritual power of the parade team is very strange. Although there is a sense of oppression, it does not make people feel scared. Instead, there is a feeling of yearning."

"Another one is coming." Li Qing reminded them.

Everyone stood on the rooftop and looked down, and saw a human-shaped rat limping towards the team, making wailing sounds from the rat's mouth, as if it was crying.

Li Qing was somewhat touched when he saw this scene. He said in a low voice: "It seems that they have been abandoned by the rats."

Feng Ling frowned and took a few steps forward, wanting to observe more carefully, but he was afraid of the influence of the mental power of the wandering team and did not dare to get too close.

"Was you abandoned because you were hurt?" she asked Li Qing.

Li Qing looked at the two rat monsters without saying anything.

"Hey~" Feng Ling waved his hand in front of his eyes.

Li Qing came back to his senses and explained, "I was thinking, if the spirit power of the parade team does not have the ability to disperse the rat monster, then the reason why the street we walked through is so clean is only possible, the rat monster is consciously and actively avoiding the parade team."

Ye Zheng frowned and asked, "How do we avoid them? Do they know the route of the wandering gods?"

"After all, they are creatures in the maze and have lived here for a long time. It's not surprising that they know the route of the parade." Li Qing said, "I guess they have a way to predict the route of the next parade and avoid dangerous areas in advance. These two mice were abandoned by the rat group when they evacuated because they were old and weak."

Feng Ling looked at the parade team. The distance between them was getting farther and farther. In the misty fog, he could only vaguely see a few mice at the end of the team.

"If your speculation is correct, the destination of this team may be the most dangerous place in the maze." She murmured.
