Everyone fell silent. The clues to the key had not yet been found. Only by clearing the stone gate, they could not enter the next level of the demonic realm.
"No matter what, we have to go to Daxia Country."
Zhang Ze said: "Since the stone gate is in Daxia, I suspect that the key to the customs clearance should also be there. Let's slowly look for clues after we get there."
His proposal was approved by everyone.
At this time, Ali helped her grandfather come over. She smiled and said, "Rakshasa, my grandfather and I have something to ask you for help."
"What's going on?" Zhang Ze asked curiously.
"Grandpa and we are going to Daxia with you!" Ali said excitedly: "Grandpa is going to see the place where he once lived, and I want to see giant pandas and eat delicious oriental food!"
"Haha, of course you can!" Zhang Ze said with a smile: "This time, I will act as a guide and take you to appreciate the charm of the ancient Eastern country!"
After everyone discussed it, they started to pack their things and prepare to leave early tomorrow morning.
In fact, Ali and Grandpa don’t have much. They only brought a small suitcase with some simple things and clothes in it. For them, as long as there are people, they will not be short of things and can always have something. Just borrow it from a human anywhere.
As for their residence, neighbors will naturally help take care of them. The relationship between the little people is very simple, much simpler than that of humans.
"What? Are you leaving?"
After Abao learned the news, he hurried over and held Ali's hand reluctantly: "Ally, when will you come back?"
"Abao, I'm not sure when I will come back." Ali shook her head. This time she took Zhang Ze's aircraft to Daxia, but if Zhang Ze left this world, she would have to rely on herself to come back.
Therefore, she was not sure when she would come back, or even whether she would come back.
"Why is this so?" Abao frowned. He had always liked Ali, but he was dull and didn't know how to express his feelings, so he didn't say anything out loud.
Now that Ali was leaving, he was anxious but didn't know what to do.
Zhang Ze saw this and slapped him hard on the back, saying, "Abao, if you want to be with Ali, you have to be brave and say it loudly!"
"Ah...I..." Abao hesitated, but Ali understood. She blushed and said nothing, just waiting for Abao to speak.
Everyone looked at A Bao and became anxious with him, hoping that he would confess his love as soon as possible.
Finally, Abao plucked up the courage and shouted loudly: "Ali, I like you! I want to go with you!"
Ali covered her pretty face, but there was a smile on her lips.
The Dragon King laughed loudly and said: "That's right, men should take the initiative!"
Little Princess Qian rolled her eyes at the Dragon King and asked, "Then when will you take the initiative?"
"Uh..." Dragon King scratched his head, looking embarrassed.
Everyone was happy to see Ali and Abao getting married. Jushen and Yiye Zhiqiu took out all the delicacies they had collected before, and everyone had a lively dinner to celebrate the two getting married.
Early the next morning, Ali and Abao accompanied their grandfather and boarded Zhang Ze's Steel Titan with the Titan, Dragon King and others.
Many friends and neighbors from Lilliput came to see him off, and A Yong and A Feng were also among the crowd.
"Goodbye, everyone!" Ali and Abao held hands and stood at the cabin door waving goodbye to everyone.
Many people secretly wiped away tears because they knew that this farewell might be forever.
After all, villains are too small, and they do not have convenient transportation conditions. Moreover, the outside is too dangerous. No one knows what they will encounter tomorrow. For them, they can only live in the present.
Amid everyone's waves and farewells, the Iron Titan slowly took off, leaving the forest and flying towards the east.
Abao kept wandering around the command room, finding everything new and strange. He asked Zhang Ze about the operating principle of the Steel Titan. Unfortunately, Zhang Ze didn't understand this either, so he could only ask Zhang Ze to ask the Steel Titan.
Ali asked curiously: "Rakshasa, why can you summon these weird people and creatures, and even have such advanced machines?"
Zhang Ze briefly explained his talents and skills. Ali seemed to understand but it was really difficult for her to understand.
After three days of flight, the Iron Titan finally reached the airspace of Daxia.
Everyone stood in front of the electronic screen to watch. They wanted to know what Daxia would be like if it had not experienced disasters.
The white clouds drifted away, and a magical land appeared in front of everyone.
The vast land is dotted with tens of thousands of acres of fertile farmland, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and spectacular scenery that is breathtaking.
Quiet countryside, busy city, everything is so peaceful.
There is no fear or despair on the faces of the people living in this land. They enjoy their lives and will not lose their relatives and friends because of monsters.
All of this made Liu Yueying and Jushen feel envious.
Sky's melancholy murmured: "Is this the normal Great Xia Kingdom? It's so beautiful! I really hope our world can be like this."
Zhang Feng thought of her parents dying at the hands of monsters in the Demon Cave, and the corners of her eyes suddenly became moist. She grabbed Zhang Ze's arm and shed tears quietly. Zhang Ze sighed and touched his sister's head to express comfort.
"When we eliminate all the monsters in the Demon Cave, our world will become beautiful again."
Ali and Abao were full of praise for the beautiful scenery in front of them. It was much better than the small countryside where they lived.
Ali's grandfather was also stunned. He saw the city where he once lived, the imperial capital of Daxia, where he had many memories of his childhood.
"Dragon Gate is in the Forbidden City. Let's fly directly to the Forbidden City." Titan suggested. Zhang Ze nodded and said, "I have ordered Steel Titan to go to the Forbidden City. We will arrive soon."
A few minutes later, the majestic Forbidden City appeared in front of everyone's eyes. The Steel Titan stopped on the roof of a certain palace. Everyone got down one by one and walked down the eaves.
"What it is?"
Ali asked curiously, pointing to several stone sculptures squatting on the ridge of the roof.
The melancholy of the sky explained: "Those are the five spines and six beasts. Ancient people believed that they were symbols of good luck and warding off evil spirits, so they would put them on top when building houses."
"Haha, it's so fun!" Ali ran over and touched the stone sculpture that was taller than her, with a look of novelty on her face.
When Abao saw her appearance, he took the toy camera and took pictures as a souvenir.
Zhang Ze took the postcard and confirmed the location of the dragon gate with Ali's grandfather. The old man looked around and finally determined a location, and everyone rushed there immediately.
"Finally I saw the stone gate!"
The Iron Titan stopped, and everyone came out, looking at the stone gate as high as a mountain and sighing.
"Now, we should consider the key." Zhang Ze turned around and said to everyone: "What do you think?"
Everyone looked at each other and had no idea for a moment.
At this moment, Abao pointed to a part on the top of the stone door and asked, "Rakshasa, do you think that thing looks like a key?"
"oh?"
Zhang Ze looked hurriedly, and sure enough, there was a key-shaped object protruding from the top of the stone door. It was indeed difficult to find it if you didn't look carefully.
"Do we have to take that thing down?" Xiaoniao Yiren said in surprise: "Is it too big? It can't be lifted at all!"
Zhang Ze shook his head: "That shouldn't be the case..."
Suddenly he discovered that the sun's rays shone on the ground through the stone door, leaving a huge shadow.
And that key is floating above the stone door, could it be...
His heart suddenly moved, and he said excitedly: "I guessed it, the key and the stone door are both shadows!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the ground with surprise on their faces.
"Then, as long as we step on the key and the shadow of the stone door in turn, can we enter the next level of the demonic realm?" Shan Dao Bu Bu nodded repeatedly: "That should be the case, the design is very clever!"
Zhang Ze said: "Yes, otherwise, such a big key and stone door would be too inconvenient for us who have shrunk."
"The shadow is different, it's right on the ground, and as the sunlight gets bigger and smaller, we can pick a shadow that's the right size for us to go in."
The Dragon King was the first to run up and said, "I'll try it first!"
He stepped on the shadow of the key, and a prompt appeared in front of him: "You have obtained the key to pass the level."
"Rakshasa is right! That's it!"
He laughed, then rushed towards the shadow of Shimen, and the next moment, he disappeared directly on the spot.
"Dragon King! Dragon King!" Little Princess Qian was startled and hurriedly rushed into the shadow of the stone gate and followed the Dragon King.
Soon, a message from the Dragon King came from the team channel: "I have entered the void passage. Come in quickly, let's go to the next level of the demon realm!"
Seeing that the Dragon King was safe and sound, everyone began to enter the stone gate one after another.
Zhang Ze stayed at the end. He wanted to say goodbye to his grandfather, Ali and A Bao.
"Young man, thank you for taking me back to my hometown in the East." The old man held Zhang Ze's hand with a grateful look on his face.
If it weren't for Zhang Ze, he might have died in a foreign country for the rest of his life.
Zhang Ze smiled and said, "You're welcome. Without your postcard, grandpa, we wouldn't be able to find any clues to pass the customs."
"Rakshasa, will you come to our world again in the future?" Ali and Abao looked at Zhang Ze sadly.
Zhang Ze thought for a while and said: "Maybe, I can't say. After all, our world is still in crisis. After the crisis is resolved, I will definitely come back to see you."
"Yes!" Ali nodded, with tears in her eyes. After a few days of getting along, she already regarded Zhang Ze as a relative.
Abao suggested: "Before we leave, let's take a photo."
He set up the camera and the four of them stood together, leaving a photo that Ali would treasure for a lifetime.
"Goodbye! My friends!"
Zhang Ze waved goodbye and then walked into the shadow of the stone gate.
…
In a dark room, a man held his head and huddled in the corner in fear, muttering: "Who can help me? I can't bear it anymore!"
At this moment, the electronic clock hanging on the wall suddenly started to tell time: "It's now...00:00..."
The man was stunned for a moment, then he remembered something and his expression changed drastically.
"Oops……"
He immediately rushed to the bathroom and hurriedly covered the mirror with a towel.
"This should be okay, right?"
The man felt anxious. Suddenly, he heard hissing electronic noise coming from the TV in the living room.
The man felt as if his body had fallen into an ice cave. He turned his head stiffly, and his legs involuntarily carried him towards the living room.
There was a snowflake on the TV.
The man was standing in front of the TV. He wanted to run, but his body refused to obey him.
At this time, a picture suddenly appeared on the TV. It was a puppet with a strange smile. It spoke: "You broke the rules...you must be punished..."
"No, no, no, I didn't break the rules, no!"
Tears welled up in the man's eyes because of fear, and he cried: "Give me another chance, I will not make the same mistake again..."
Before he finished speaking, his voice stopped suddenly, and then his mouth began to open continuously, the corners of his mouth cracked, and a bloody thing came out of his mouth!
It was actually the puppet on the TV. It made a scary and strange laugh:
"Breaking the rules...accepting the punishment...hahahaha!"
In the void, inside the Temple of Creation.
Fang Zai looked at the scene of the man's tragic death in the light screen, and the corner of his mouth curled up. He was very satisfied with the death zone he designed this time.
The man just now was an unlucky guy who was randomly caught for experimentation. The results of the experiment were very successful.
"Haha, Rakshasa...Zhang Ze...we will meet soon, in the dead zone I designed, hehehehe!"
…
Zhang Ze and his companions were walking through the void tunnel. He seemed to sense something and stopped and looked around.
"Brother, what's wrong?" Zhang Feng walked beside Zhang Ze and asked strangely when he saw his solemn expression.
Zhang Ze slowly shook his head: "Nothing... let's keep walking."
"There is light ahead, we can go out!"
The Dragon King walking at the front shouted excitedly: "It's the sixtieth level of the Demon Realm. There are still forty floors left. We will reach the end of the entire Demon Realm. Come on, guys!"
The giant god smiled and said: "The Dragon King is very energetic today."
"I'm almost exhausted!" Little Princess Qian said angrily: "I have cleared two levels of the Demon Realm in a row. I am not a donkey of the production team! I want to rest!"
He shrugged emotionlessly: "In the upper demon realm, we were caught as soon as we came out, and then we were knocked unconscious and kept sleeping. I don't know why you feel tired?"
The little princess Qian was so speechless that she muttered for a long time: "I'm tired from sleeping too much..."
Yiye Zhiqiu suggested: "When we enter the next level of the Demon Realm, we will find a safe place to log off and rest. What do you think?"
Everyone agreed.
A few minutes later, the group finally walked out of the tunnel and entered a new world.
But what they saw in front of them made them stunned.
This is a city in ruins, with ruins and signs of fire everywhere.
Zhang Ze saw a thick wall covered with dense bullet holes, and also saw a huge crater more than two meters deep next to it.
"Ah! Corpse!"
Zhang Feng pointed at a highly decomposed corpse in the distance and exclaimed.
He walked over to check without emotion, and said in a deep voice: "Looking at his clothes, he should be a soldier, and he belongs to our Daxia Kingdom..."
Liu Yueying asked: "How did he die? Was he shot to death?"
"No..." Dongfeng frowned emotionlessly: "I didn't find any wounds caused by shrapnel on his body. The cause of his death was because his heart exploded!"
Everyone was shocked, who killed this soldier? Still using such weird and vicious methods?
In this way, the corpse was not just one. They walked deeper into the ruins and saw more corpses of soldiers, and even in some places, there were thousands of them densely packed!
The soldiers just lay on the scorched earth, letting the wind and sun rot, and their bones rotted, but no one came to collect their bodies.
"What the hell is going on here?"
The giant god looked at a relatively complete tall building not far away. On the surface of the tall building, there was a huge six-finger paw print!
Yiye Zhiqiu said solemnly: "I think this place must have been invaded by some kind of monster...even if it is the same as the monster from the Demon Cave in our world."
Opposite him, there is a huge iron sign with four big words written in red Chinese characters: "Humanity will win!"
"What should we do?" Little Princess Qian was a little scared, because the scene in front of her was too tragic, indicating that the monster attacking here was very powerful.
Zhang Ze said solemnly: "It is best to find other living humans and learn about the situation of this world from them, and only then can we know the clues to the stone door and the key."
So, everyone continued to search the ruins, but found nothing after searching for a long time. Seeing that it was getting dark, everyone decided to find a place to rest first, and then make plans.
"This house looks pretty good, let's spend the night here." The giant pointed at a three-story building in front of him and said to everyone.
We walked into the building and found a relatively clean room. Everyone sat down and took a breath.
Zhang Ze looked at the ruins outside the window, filled with doubts.
"The city is a city of Daxia, and the soldiers are also soldiers of Daxia... Could it be that this is another Daxia country? A parallel universe?" Shaking his head, he was also a little confused.
The giant god said: "That's it for today. Let's log off first and continue at night."
Everyone said goodbye and went offline.
At the same moment, a head poked out from behind a broken wall a few hundred meters away. She held up a sniper rifle and looked through the telescope at the room where Zhang Ze and the others were.
After a while, she put down the gun, with a look of shock in her eyes: "It's really him!"
…
