Chapter 2032 Elephant Demon
Zhang Xuezhou successfully found a human settlement, but this settlement was not the Great Yuezhi people he had imagined, and the language they spoke had nothing to do with the language of the holy land of Uttarakuru.

After crossing mountains and rivers, Zhang Xuezhou felt that he might have arrived in Hezhou, Xiniu.

This made him feel a little bit unbelievable, and he couldn't help but gesture a few times with his hands.

Of course, compared to traveling through the Heavenly Gate of the Immortal Court to reach Xiniu Hezhou, it is understandable that he spent a lot of effort and exhausted his demonic power to travel to other territories.

There is indeed a temple for monks here, but the temple has been reduced to a huge fire that rises to the sky.

Outside the destroyed city walls, men who escaped from the fire were constantly shot, while women were forcibly tied up and taken away. Some women who struggled violently were also beheaded on the spot.

Zhang Xuezhou observed this small-scale war, which could be described as a massacre, from close range.

It was indeed a small war.

The army led by King Vililu had only hundreds of war elephants and more than 3,000 soldiers, and the scale of the city that was slaughtered was not much larger than that of Rongcheng.

The size of this army is not even a fraction of the ones Zhang Xuezhou saw in the Han Dynasty.

But it was still a brutal war.

The men were killed like animals, while the women were forcibly abducted.

The war elephants were loaded with looted food, pottery, shells, linen, gems, etc.

If not everyone is a soldier like in the evil country, a city with a population of about 10,000 would only have about 1,000 guards.

Judging from the piled up corpses of warriors, King Virūpākṣa even had a higher numerical advantage, and the attack at night also allowed him to catch his opponents off guard.

Frantic cries echoed throughout the area.

"The Tathagata is so powerful, how can his people be so weak... Yes, the Tathagata is powerful, but this strength is probably limited to him alone!"

Tathagata does not possess many skills, and each of them requires extremely great difficulty to practice and achieve even a small degree of success.

Even though Zhang Xuezhou had not practiced physical exercises, and had only recently made some attempts with the help of the top medical resources of the Alliance, it was almost impossible to expect these underdeveloped people to repeat Tathagata's practice.

There are not many Tathagatas in this world, so it is impossible for there to be many real masters in a small town like this.

The raging fire gradually burned the city into ruins.

The flames that shot up into the sky illuminated many faces that were distorted with excitement, and there were also people who were directing people to set up camp for the night after the battle was over.

Zhang Xuezhou was thinking about the different languages ​​and was just about to catch someone to see if he could ask for directions, when he heard a roar. The war elephant that King Vililu had been riding on stood up, shivered and changed for a moment, and actually looked somewhat like a human, although its body had shrunk a lot.

The soldiers around seemed to be accustomed to this, and bunches of green bananas were quickly taken out of the sacks and placed on the table.

"Fruit puree..."

The elephant demon was obviously very happy to see the green bananas. He raised his head, stuck out his long trunk and hummed.

"Fruit puree?"

The number of people involved in this war was not too large, and Zhang Xuezhou was not too far away.

He looked for a long time, listened for a while, and even thought about catching someone to ask for directions.

When this demon elephant, which looked somewhat like a human, spoke, it was singing and talkative. Zhang Xuezhou felt that the demon elephant knew more languages ​​than humans.

In a short period of time, the other party spoke five different languages, some of which were even similar to the Great Yuezhi language, and Zhang Xuezhou could understand half of it.

"Fruit puree...fruit puree..."

Seeing that the elephant monster was still unsatisfied after eating the green banana and was rummaging around near the many soldiers, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but imitate the sound and spread it using the magic sound technique.

The voice he imitated was somewhat like that of the elephant demon, and was extremely small. Mixed in with the welcoming voices, it did not seem special, and did not trigger any special inspections. The elephant demon seemed a little confused, and kept turning his head to look around.

"Pure fruit? A lot of puree?"

After a while, the elephant monster seemed to have discovered something, hummed a few words through its nostrils, and then stood up and trotted out. There were no soldiers around to care about the elephant monster, and some even gave way, showing great respect for the elephant monster.

"Fruit puree!"

After inducing the elephant monster to run only two hundred meters, Zhang Xuezhou directly suppressed it with his realm pressure.

There are some special species of monsters that have extremely strong ability to resist coercion, but the elephant monster is obviously not among them.

In just a short moment, the elephant monster's groaning sound became more fearful, and its head kept shaking back and forth.

"I ask, you answer!"

After a period of suppression, the elephant monster lay on the ground gasping for breath, and Zhang Xuezhou withdrew his ability to suppress it.

He asked in the more authentic language of the Yedihe Holy Land, and gestured with the help of the firelight in the distance.

"If you don't answer well, I'll make you eat fruit puree for the rest of your life!"

Zhang Xuezhou added this, which made the elephant monster, who was lying there gasping for breath, look even more frightened.

Obviously, the elephant monster had suffered too much from being hit by green bananas during this intimidation and suppression.

The favorite food becomes the most hated food, and this change only occurs after a short period of deterrence and suppression.

As long as he thought about the endless green bananas stuffed into his mouth, as if he had been eating them for a lifetime, the elephant demon felt that he would never want to eat green bananas again after he came back to life.

He raised his head and looked at Zhang Xuezhou, and tried hard to listen to what Zhang Xuezhou said.

When a monster transforms into a human, its tongue will be refined, and this refinement will give the monster the ability to mimic speech like a parrot, making it very easy for the monster to learn language.

Most monsters are illiterate, but most of them can speak two or three languages, and there are even some experts who know eight or ten languages.

The elephant demon obviously had some knowledge and was also familiar with some of the Great Yuezhi language.

After Zhang Xuezhou and the elephant monster exchanged a few sentences, the elephant monster replied even faster, which made Zhang Xuezhou understand a little better.

"This is Kapilavastu. King Viruli of Kosala is launching a world-destroying war here?"

"The flames of King Viruli will burn the whole sky, burning away all the evil of the heretics and evil Buddhas?"

Zhang Xuezhou asked about the place name and realized that his previous guess was correct. He did fly out of Cai Ma's map.

There is no such thing as Kapilavastu on Cai Ma's map.

Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but feel a headache when he thought about flying thousands of miles against the wind to reposition himself.

"By the way, do you recognize Shigong Buddha?"

Thinking that the Kosala Kingdom might be able to defeat the Tathagata's lair, Zhang Xuezhou did not want to have anything to do with the Tathagata, but instead chose the Tathagata's competitor.

"Shigong? The Buddha of Natharaja?"

Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but inquire about his few connections in Xiniu Hezhou to see if he could get any help.

After he asked, the elephant monster immediately looked terrified and even clasped his hands together and muttered something, as if the Buddhist disciple Shigong mentioned by Zhang Xuezhou had an unfathomable reputation that forced the elephant monster to bow down in worship.

"So you also know about Brahma?"

"Brahma is also the Buddha whom I have always worshipped and respected!"

When Zhang Xuezhou mentioned Brahma for confirmation, and the elephant monster also chose another name to identify with, he was immediately certain that this elephant monster did know Shigong Buddha and others.

This made Zhang Xuezhou look up at the city in the distance where flames were still burning.

He momentarily suspected that the battle for Buddhist disciples in the Western religion had reached a fever pitch, leading to the raid on the lair of Buddha Tathagata by Buddha disciples such as Shigong.
