Chapter 236 Kowtow
Li Qing said: "The strength has increased by 0.3 times."

Feng Ling and Ye Zheng's eyes lit up after hearing this.

They both said in unison: "I bow too."

Feng Ling knelt down swiftly and bowed three times. Ye Zheng's body was not convenient for kneeling, so he stood where he was and bowed.

After the worship, he asked Li Qing: "How is it? Is it effective?"

Li Qing nodded and said seriously: "Your strength has increased by 0.3 times, and the effective time is 30 minutes."

Feng Ling was amused. "Once this buff is applied, it would be a waste if I don't go out and kill a few monsters."

Li Qing also laughed when he heard this.

The fact that worshipping God could produce beneficial effects greatly comforted his heart.

Feng Ling said happily: "Let's go and worship other gods~"

Everyone was getting excited and they walked along the street, praying.

At the beginning, most of the gods we met were the God of Wealth and the Maneki Cat. Later, when we left the pedestrian street and entered the residential area, the statues of gods in this area were mainly Guanyin Bodhisattva and the Three Stars of Fortune, Longevity and Happiness.

In addition to the statues of gods enshrined indoors, there are also statues outdoors. At the intersections of some streets, there are inconspicuous gray shrines. The gods in each shrine are different, including the Jade Emperor, Tathagata Buddha, Goddess of the Golden Flower, Queen of Heaven, Emperor Siming, King of the Three Mountains, Taishang Laojun, Monkey King... too many to count.

Feng Ling worshipped the God of Grains and immediately felt full (she hadn’t felt full for a long time).

Ye Zheng worshipped Emperor Huaguang, and his fire resistance increased sixfold.

After Xu Yiming worshipped He Xiangu, his recovery ability increased by 1.5 times.

Huangfu Miaomiao paid homage to Ge Hong, and her injuries healed quickly.

After worshipping the gods too many times, the initial excitement and euphoria gradually decreased, people gradually became numb, and they found that most of the enhancement effects were useless.

For example, fire resistance can only be effective when encountering an opponent who uses fire abilities, but there are only a bunch of rats in this maze.

However, Feng Ling's original plan was to go back to the truck to get the explosives, and worshiping the gods was just a side job and would not take much time.

Only mice delayed them.

There are rats on almost every street, ranging from dozens to hundreds. When they see them, they are like zombies seeing a living person and will chase them relentlessly.

Even if Feng Ling and Ye Zheng killed all these rat monsters, a large group of them would appear again in a few minutes, making people extremely exhausted both physically and mentally.

"Why can't I see any City God...or even the Land God? What's going on, Taoist priest?" Xu Yiming sighed.

Li Qing said awkwardly: "This block is mainly composed of shops. If you want to find the City God and the Land God, you may need to look in another direction."

The maze was too big and they had no means of transportation, so they could only wander around the central area and couldn't go too far.

Feng Ling in front stepped into a small supermarket. The first floor sold fruit snacks, and the second floor sold daily necessities.

Of course, all the food was looted by the rat monster, and fragments of food packaging bags remained on the ground.

There is also an altar in the small supermarket, dedicated to a goddess.

Feng Ling called Li Qing over and asked, "What kind of god is this?"

——If it was an unimportant god, she wouldn’t want to worship it. She was almost dizzy from kowtows so frequently along the way.

Li Qing walked over and looked at the statue carefully.

The statue is of a female general in a battle robe, with a dignified and graceful demeanor. However, for some reason, the female general's eyes are closed.

"Wearing a battle robe and holding a weapon, this should be Madam Xian." Li Qing said, "Legend has it that Madam Xian was resourceful and decisive, well-versed in scriptures and poetry, and proficient in both soft and hard weapons. She once led the army to quell rebellions and protect the country and the people. She was successively conferred titles by seven emperors and was also respected by the local people as the Holy Mother of Lingnan." Feng Ling thought for a moment and knelt down in front of the cushion. "This sounds very powerful. Let's pay our respects."

He kowtowed three more times.

"Please bless us and help us conquer the maze safely and successfully. Thank you, Madam Xian."

Huangfu Miaomiao lined up behind Feng Ling, ready to wait for her to finish worshipping the gods before she also worshipped.

Feng Ling stood up, and Huangfu Miaomiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and then a system message popped up:

[You have been blessed by the gods in a city full of crises. The eight statues have awakened to protect you from the threat of evil spirits.]

"Ah, it's the safe zone!" Huangfu Miaomiao said in surprise, "We unlocked the safe zone!"

Li Qing then said, "Look, the eyes of the statue are open."

Feng Ling also noticed that after opening its eyes, the statue's aura suddenly became extraordinary. Those eyes seemed to be able to see through all the evil in the world, and it was intimidating without even being angry.

Feng Ling asked Huangfu Miaomiao: "How big is the safe zone?"

Huangfu Miaomiao pointed to the surrounding areas based on the glowing area indicated by the system, "This entire building is full of them. Outside this range, they are not glowing."

Xu Yiming felt more relaxed after hearing this. He sat down on the ground without caring about his image, leaned against the shelf, and exhaled, "Finally, I can take a break..."

Huangfu Miaomiao said to Feng Ling happily: "Not only did we unlock the safe zone just now, we also unlocked eight safe zones at once!"

"Eight?" Feng Ling asked curiously, "Where are they?"

Huangfu Miaomiao shook her head, "I don't know, but since it has been unlocked, I will definitely see the prompt when we encounter it."

Li Qing couldn't help but sigh: "Now the only things left to find are the Game God Statue and the Lord of the Labyrinth."

Xu Yiming leaned against the shelf and smiled, "With the safe zone, it will be easier for us to plan our actions. We can advance or retreat, and we don't have to be as passive as before."

He turned around and asked Feng Ling: "How about we discuss the next step now?"

"Next, I want to blow up the mountain." Feng Ling looked at Huangfu Miaomiao, "Little Skeleton, empty the grid backpack first, and temporarily put the luggage in the supermarket. Then we will go to the truck to get explosives. Put as much as we can and fill up the grid."

The truck isn't far away, just around the corner from this street.

Huangfu Miaomiao volunteered and said, "I can go alone! You all can rest here. It's not easy for the rat monster to find me if I go alone~"

With the safe zone, Huangfu Miaomiao felt confident and felt incredibly brave.

Xu Yiming smiled and said, "Little Skeleton is quite capable. He can already take on the responsibility on his own."

Huangfu Miaomiao puffed out her chest proudly, forgetting who was the person who was crying loudly just now.

Feng Ling thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay, you go alone, and come back quickly."

She took this opportunity to track the mouse she marked last night. In fact, she should have tracked it earlier, but after entering the maze, she was constantly harassed by the mouse monster and she couldn't concentrate on doing other things.

Feng Ling was just thinking about it when she heard Ye Zheng say, "I'll go with her."

what?
Feng Ling turned to look at Ye Zheng in surprise, not understanding why Ye Zheng wanted to join in the fun.

Huangfu Miaomiao was also stunned.

Ye Zheng stared at Huangfu Miaomiao with a gloomy and serious expression, "We spent so much effort to rescue her, we can't let her get into trouble."

Feng Ling suddenly realized: "Oh......"

Sunk cost, right? Yeah, I get it!
The authors in the group were arguing, and I was so distracted by the gossip that I couldn’t write anymore. I wrote for several hours and only wrote a few words... I, I am so vulgar (so there is only one chapter tonight, and I am late)
