The Maitreya Buddha statue opposite also felt it. It now has two broken arms and a big hole in its chest. It has almost lost its combat ability. However, it did not give up its final struggle and concentrated all its remaining energy on it. From his eyes, two golden lights finally shot out, trying to kill the giant oil lamp god!
The oil lamp giant slashed in the air, and in an instant, a golden thread cut the world in half. Also cut in half was the Maitreya Buddha statue.
Its golden light was no match for the giant blade of the oil lamp. It was hit by the golden light halfway, exploded, and turned into little gold stars scattered in the sky and earth.
"Buddha Mia..."
The last sound of emptiness echoed between heaven and earth, and then everything returned to calm.
Zhang Ze didn't know whether this guy was dead or not, because there was no empty figure in his summoning space.
"Forget it, as long as this guy doesn't bother me anymore, I don't have time to fight with him!"
Zhang Ze turned around and rushed to the room of his companions. He found that everyone was still unconscious, and the room was still filled with a faint fragrance. Even if he smelled it, he would feel dizzy.
"It seems that everyone is fascinated by this strange fragrance! This fragrance is so powerful that even my followers can't bear it!"
Zhang Ze immediately covered his mouth and nose and moved everyone out of the bedroom. Soon everyone woke up.
"What happened? Is there an earthquake here?"
Yiye Zhiqiu looked at the ruined temple in front of him with a look of surprise.
"No, there was a battle here! You look at the corpses all over the ground!"
The giant god's expression was solemn. He saw the bodies of the dead demon monks. No need to think about it now, everyone knew that these demon monks must be plotting against them. Then Zhang Ze discovered the plot of these demon monks and took action to defeat them and save everyone.
"Fortunately, the child is fine."
Liu Yueying breathed a long sigh of relief as she held the child in her arms. She had kept the child by her side when she slept before, and never left him, just because she was afraid that someone would steal the child while she was sleeping.
At this time, the entire Mingde Town was in chaos, with houses collapsed, fires breaking out, and people running in panic everywhere.
"This place is already in chaos, let's leave as soon as possible."
Zhang Ze led everyone and immediately left Mingde Temple. They grabbed a few horses on the street and rushed out of the city.
When they ran out of the city in one breath, they looked back and saw that Mingde Temple had been completely engulfed in fire, and the entire city was also ablaze.
"This city is completely destroyed..."
The melancholy of the sky looked regretful.
Zhang Ze has no guilt. This Mingde Temple is not a serious temple at first glance. The demon monks inside practice evil practices one by one and become demons. How can this happen in a formal temple?
At this time, the group of people had arrived at the edge of the desert. There was a long yellow sand road in front of them, and everyone decided to stop and rest first.
Zhang Ze also took his followers back to the summoning space and let them rest and recover.
"How can we get through the desert in front of us if we don't have enough food and water?"
Moonlight Bunny said worriedly.
"How about we secretly return to Mingde Town to collect some food and water?" Xiaoniao Yiren made a suggestion, but Liu Yueying rejected it.
"No! If we go back now, we might be falling into a trap. We must not go back again."
Liu Yueying didn't want to take her child back to take risks.
"Although there is not enough food and water, we are in good physical condition. If we save some, we should be able to cross this desert."
Now that there is no better way, everyone can only bite the bullet and continue walking.
This walk lasted a day and a night. During the day, the sun was scorching in the sky and the temperature soared. Everyone was walking on the desert, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and it was difficult to move.
At night, the temperature dropped sharply, and occasionally the wind was biting. They could only huddle together to keep warm. In order to save food, everyone ate very little, and their hungry stomachs growled.
Everyone tried to keep the remaining water for women and children, and men could only endure it.
Even so, after walking for two days, everyone had run out of food and water, and the road ahead had no end in sight, and they didn't know when they would be able to get out of this desert.
The horses that were snatched from Mingde Town also died, and their flesh and blood went into everyone's stomach, but it was still a drop in the bucket.
"No! I'm dying of thirst! I want some water!" Little Princess Qian was lying on the sand, shouting feebly.
But where is there water for her to drink now? Others were also hungry and thirsty.
Zhang Ze suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, opened the summoning space, and said: "Oil Lamp Giant God, come out! I want to make a wish to you!"
"Master, please speak!"
The oil lamp giant appeared, bowed and asked.
"We need lots of food and water!"
"As you wish!"
The giant oil lamp god clapped his hands, magic power bloomed in his hands instantly, and then a miracle appeared in front of everyone.
In front of them, a golden pavilion with a strong Persian style suddenly appeared. A round dining table was placed in the pavilion, and a variety of exquisite foods were spread all over the table.
In addition to these, there are two young servants standing in the pavilion, smiling and bowing to Zhang Ze and others.
"Master, please."
The oil lamp giant made a gesture of invitation to Zhang Ze and others.
Everyone looked surprised and rushed into the pavilion. Regardless of their own image, they grabbed their favorite food and drinks on the table and started to eat them.
"Rakshasa, why didn't you make a wish to the giant oil lamp earlier? We almost died of thirst and starvation!"
Little Princess Qian's mouth was stuffed with delicious food, and she complained vaguely to Zhang Ze.
The Dragon King glared at her and said, "Are you complaining about this too? If it weren't for the Rakshasa brothers, you wouldn't be able to eat these good things!"
Others also nodded. Although Zhang Ze thought of this method a little late, everyone still enjoyed it, so they should not complain but thank him.
Everyone was in a hurry and swept away the food on the table. The next moment, the food on the table was replaced with new food, and everyone continued to stuff their stomachs.
"I really can't eat anymore, but these things are so delicious, I can't stop!"
Zhang Feng's little mouth was full. She really couldn't eat anything, but she couldn't bear to give up, so she turned to ask the oil lamp giant: "Can we pack up these foods and take them away?"
"Of course." The oil lamp giant smiled and said, "You can take as much as you want, we have everything here."
So everyone was not polite and packed the food on the table like crazy and put it into their own system backpacks. Anyway, the things in the system backpacks would not spoil and they could store them as long as they wanted.
After loading several tables of food in one go, everyone finally stopped. The food they had stored now was enough for them to eat for several months.
After drinking and eating, everyone began to feel tired. Looking at the endless desert around them and enjoying the services provided by the servants, everyone sat in the pavilion and fell asleep, and soon fell asleep.
Only Zhang Ze remained awake. He took out the jade slip and contacted Qin Feng.
This time I finally contacted Qin Feng, who was also surprised why Zhang Ze took so long to contact him.
"What? The monks in Mingde Temple are all monster monks?" Qin Feng was also surprised after hearing Zhang Ze's story. He said angrily: "The Holy Land of Buddhism should have been upright and bright, but it was turned into a hidden place by these monsters. It’s such a filthy place, so pitiful and hateful!”
"Fortunately, you discovered their conspiracy in time and destroyed the temple. No one will be fooled again in the future."
Zhang Ze asked: "Master Qin, there is something else I want you to explain."
"Brother Rakshasa, please speak."
"Is the child you gave us really just the son of a loyal minister? Does he have another identity? Are you hiding something from us?"
Zhang Ze asked several questions in succession, but Qin Feng on the opposite side fell silent.
After a long while, he finally spoke: "Originally, I didn't want to tell you about this matter. After all, you are not from this world, but since you asked, I will naturally tell you the truth."
"This child is indeed the son of a loyal minister, but he also has another identity, that is, the future emperor!"
"What?!" Zhang Ze was startled, and his eyes couldn't help but shift to the child in Liu Yueying's arms.
"You said this child will become the emperor of Daliang in the future?"
"That's right!" Qin Feng affirmed: "When this child was born, he was born with a strange phenomenon. Half of the sky was illuminated by purple light! This is not a scene that ordinary people can see when they are born."
"I have a friend who works in the Tianxiang Department and is an expert in physiognomy. He told me at that time that the purple air rising to the sky from the northwest was a sign of the coming of an emperor."
"I didn't believe it at the time, but later, when I got a secret letter from Xichang Yuzhitian to my subordinates, I realized that what my friend said was absolutely right. This child will definitely become the emperor of Daliang in the future and save this place. the people of Li."
"This is also the reason why Yu Zhida pursues the child so hard, because once the child becomes the emperor, his death will not be far away."
"That's why I decided to protect this child. I'm sorry for not telling you the truth before. I just don't want you to get involved."
Zhang Ze complained in his heart: "We are now being hunted by Xichang. Doesn't this count as being involved?"
But it makes no sense to say this now. This level of demonic realm was designed to be like this, and they can only accept the challenge.
"I understand. Now that we have arrived in the desert, we should not be far from Longwei Pass. Have the people to greet us outside the pass been arranged?"
"Yes, you will be greeted by my friend in Tianxiangsi. He will take the child away and raise him." Qin Feng replied: "I will let you know the key and the stone door you are looking for." A friend will take you to find it."
"Okay, I know."
Zhang Ze cut off the contact and watched the sky getting dusk. He was also ready to take a rest and get up early with everyone the next day.
At this moment, a muffled sound suddenly came from the horizon. Zhang Ze raised his eyes and his eyes suddenly froze.
I saw a huge warship flying from the horizon, with yellow and red dragon flags flying on it. On the mast in the center, a larger flag was erected with the two characters "Xichang" written on it!
"Oops, it's the pursuers from the West Factory!"
Zhang Ze was shocked and immediately woke up his sleeping companion.
"What? Are the pursuers from Xichang coming?"
Everyone was shocked and immediately stood up to prepare for battle.
In fact, this is normal. Xichang's pursuers have been flying in the sky, and their speed must be much faster than Zhang Ze and others walking on land.
Even if Zhang Ze and the others set out several days in advance, they will be caught up sooner or later.
What's more, they encountered various dangers and obstacles along the way, which made their speed even slower.
"We can't hide anymore, everyone, get ready to fight!"
The giant god looked at the stopped battleship in the sky and said to everyone in a deep voice.
In this vast desert, they have no place to hide, so their goal is obvious.
The people on the warship had also discovered them and began to land slowly, apparently to capture them.
"Then there's no need to talk nonsense, let's strike first!"
Ichiki took the snow girl's hand, and the two used ice magic, causing large swaths of ice rain to hit the battleship in the sky.
Several soldiers on the battleship deck were suddenly frozen. A commander in brocade clothes stood on the bow of the ship and ordered his men to fight back.
Suddenly, bows, arrows and projectiles attacked everyone like an overwhelming force.
Everyone dodged and fought back, but the battleship was above them, a hundred meters above the ground, and long-range attacks could barely reach it.
But the melee profession basically plays no role. Only Zhang Ze and Liu Yueying can fly into the sky and attack people on the battleship.
Liu Yueying's swords merged, and the huge crescent moon slammed into the battleship!
Unexpectedly, there were conjurers on the battleship who could use magic. They opened their hands and muttered words, and a huge golden shield suddenly appeared above the battleship, blocking Liu Yueying's attack.
Zhang Ze's arrow knocked down two soldiers, but was counterattacked by more arrows and projectiles, and he had to retreat temporarily to avoid their sharp edges.
Just when the two sides were fighting, a huge net was suddenly dropped from the battleship, trapping everyone on the ground!
"Oops!"
Zhang Ze's heart sank. He found that the soldiers on the battleship were carrying large wooden barrels. He guessed that they might be gunpowder barrels!
If these powder barrels fall on the heads of their companions, it will be a disaster!
"Oil Lamp Giant, stop them immediately!"
Zhang Ze immediately ordered the oil lamp giant to save the lives of his companions.
The oil lamp giant concentrated his magic power, and the golden blade instantly turned red. Then he waved it casually, and the "golden thread" directly hit the golden shields laid out by the conjurers.
There was a click, a sound like glass breaking.
The golden shield was directly smashed into pieces!
However, the energy of the oil lamp giant's blade was also greatly weakened, and it could no longer break through the second golden shield.
"Throw down the explosive barrel! Blow them up!"
The commander of the battleship shouted loudly, and his men lit the powder barrel and dropped it!
Seeing that these gunpowder barrels were about to fall on everyone's heads, Zhang Ze immediately made a second wish to the oil lamp giant.
"Move my companions to the battleship!"
As long as everyone gets on the boat, they can fight back against the enemies on the boat without being controlled by others.
"As you wish!"
The Oil Lamp Giant immediately released his magic power, and the Titan and Dragon King's people who were trapped in the giant net on the ground disappeared instantly, and the next moment they appeared on the deck.
The soldiers from the West Factory on the deck were stunned and couldn't believe their eyes.
"Great! I finally have a use for you!"
The Dragon King shouted and swung the iron rod towards the soldiers.
Others also took action, and there was chaos on the battleship.
Zhang Ze and Liu Yueying also landed on the deck and joined forces with others to attack the Xichang soldiers. A large number of soldiers were killed, and the commander of the battleship was also assassinated without mercy.
Crunch...
The battleship lost control and began to fall to the ground.
"Everyone, hurry up and I'll take you out of the battleship."
Zhang Ze grabbed Zhang Feng and the little bird Yiren. The Dragon King and the little princess Qian each held one of his legs and flew up from the deck and fell to the ground.
Liu Yueying also took two people with her, and the oil lamp giant was responsible for rescuing the others.
Everyone finally landed on the ground. Not far away, a huge battleship crashed into the desert. The explosives stored in the battleship exploded violently, and a thick black smoke shot straight into the sky, like a crash site.
"We have dealt with the pursuers in the West Factory, are we safe?"
Moonlight Bunny looked at the crashed battleship and turned around to ask.
"Not necessarily." He shook his head emotionlessly and said, "Maybe this is just one of the pursuers, and there are more pursuers behind. We should not take it lightly. It is best to get out of the border as soon as possible to complete the mission."
So everyone took a short rest and began to move quickly towards Longweiguan.
After walking for more than half a day, just when it was about to get dark, they found a lonely building in the desert with flags hanging on it. It seemed to be a hotel.
"Great, we can have a rest here!" Zhang Feng looked happy. She felt like she was covered in sand. It was so uncomfortable and she really wanted to take a bath.
Several other girls had the same idea, so everyone quickly ran towards the hotel in the desert.
"Longwei Inn?"
Arriving in front of the hotel, Zhang Ze noticed that there were four big characters written on the hanging flag, which seemed to be the name of the hotel.
"Because we are about to reach Longwei Pass, we named it Longwei Inn? The owner of this hotel is quite clever."
Yiye Zhiqiu smiled.
For some reason, Zhang Ze always felt that there was something fishy about this inn. After all, there were few people in the desert. Who would open an inn in a place like this? Are there really guests?
So he reminded everyone: "The people who open the inn here may have problems, so everyone should be careful."
Everyone nodded and followed him to knock on the door of the inn.
The person who opened the door was a mangy man dressed as a waiter. He looked Zhang Ze and others up and down and asked, "Are you working as a top or staying in a hotel?"
"Let's take a rest and then go. It would be better if we could take a shower."
"come in!"
The waiter asked Zhang Ze and others to come in, took the dirty rag from his shoulder, wiped it on a dusty table, and asked, "Do you guys want anything to eat?"
"What do you have here?" Xiaoniaoyiren asked.
There was enough food stored by everyone, she was just curious.
The waiter named several dishes, and there were all kinds of delicacies.
Everyone was surprised. They didn't expect that they could eat these things in this vast desert.
"Now it's even weirder!"
Zhang Ze snorted in his heart.
