Chapter 185
Cliff and his troops were lucky . After about an hour, they were able to evade the emerging magic beasts by stumbling into a safe zone . When they saw that the magic beasts, who had just been in hot pursuit of them, were leaving due to the bonfire, they all let out heavy sighs and laughed .
“It is really an escape by the skin of one’s teeth!” Reggaeton opened the box next to the bonfire that was marked as “food,” taking a few pieces of biscuits that were still warm . He distributed them to everyone, chuckling as he spoke . “I really thought we were going to be eaten!”
“Actually, we wouldn’t be . When we encounter any life danger, we would be transported out directly,” Cliff smiled and said . “We were scared stiff earlier, so we never thought about that fact!”
Weisz was chewing on his biscuit when he brought up the sealed bamboo in the box . He twisted open the cap and took a few gulps . He then left everything and staggered towards the tent, mumbling, “I’m soooo tired…”
Everyone felt their weariness suddenly surge at that moment, so they also went to rest in the tent, following his lead . After taking a nap for a few hours, they awoke, then packed up to continue their adventure .
With their previous experience, it went much smoother this time around . At the very least, they weren’t lost!
The man with few words, Johnses, kicked at the disgusting magic beast that looked like a goat . Its face was distorted, as though it had been splashed with sulfur . He asked, “Are you, okay?”
“Should be okay…” Cliff rubbed his waist, then let out a sigh of relief once he felt that the spot where he was knocked earlier didn’t seem to be sprained or fractured .
“I’m okay!” Raggaeton waved his sword, which still had some blood stains on it . “I can still fight another ten of ’em!”
Weisz, who was lying on the ground, raised his hands and bellowed in listless spirits, “Can anyone lend me a hand? I feel like my bones have completely been shattered!”
In actual fact, Weisz’s bones didn’t shatter . They weren’t even fractured! The poor wimp had only sprained himself during the battle .
Regardless, the journey had to be continued . Even if they wanted to give up, they had to reach a safe zone in order for them to be transported back .
Maybe… Being beaten up by the magic beasts, to the point where our lives were endangered, could trigger the rescue mechanism and transport them back?! Why not give it a try?
Of course no one wanted to be the one to try! So, in the end, everyone supported the man that had no integrity, slowly advancing in search of the next safe zone .
However, this safe zone was definitely not one that was easily found . This was due to the fact that there was only a total of thirteen safe zones within the underground maze . There was one in the middle, which was surrounded by the twelve, which were configured in a circle just like a dial .

In between every two safe zones, even via a straight line, it would at least take an hour to walk the distance . And that timing was provided that there was not any interruption on the way, such as an encounter with any magic beasts or traps .
So basically, this was obviously impossible…
After a while, they were hemmed in by another swarm of magic creatures . They were short, fat, and round, with eight short legs and a pair of delicate teeth .
It was a special spider-like magic beast named the round-headed spider . Its level of danger among the spider-like magic beasts was registered as being the very last .
Back then, when Sui Xiong had picked them, he once threw a stray wolf, which had attempted to eat Steel’s pet named Greenie, into a swarm of round-headed spiders . If it had been any other magic beasts, that unlucky wolf would have been lucky to have a few pieces of its bones left .
However, the stray wolf managed to escape alive, even though it was bitten and left with patches of blue and black bruises on its body . Miraculously, it had managed to survive under the siege of a swarm of beasts!
“This is the power of life!” Sui Xiong sighed with emotions, deciding to let the stray wolf live .
It was at that moment that the rounded-head spider became one of the tenants in the underground maze . The form of attack of the magical magic beast was very strong, but its power of attack wasn’t .
In any case, there was never an instance when anyone was killed by it . However, there were a few unluckily ones that were bitten by its small teeth, which actually weren’t sharp at all, thus leaving them with patches of blue and black bruises .
The four youngsters finally got rid of the spider magic beast, but they were now walking with difficulty . They did at least appear to be more strong-willed now, though . Even Weisz had stopped groaning in pain and complaining .
When dealing with pain, humans had two options: either to be conquered by it or to conquer it . People who were conquered by the pain would become weak, while people who conquered the pain would become strong . In the dark, Steel, who was looking after them, nodded in satisfaction . She found the few young men to be very charming .
Throughout the following journey, they came across a few different kinds of magic beasts, as well as a few troublesome traps . They also suffered a lot .
Even though they worked really hard, they only managed to persevere for about three days . In the end, they had no choice but to end their adventure, because they were all simply worn out .
Among them, the biggest problem was their lack of adventure experience . Since the very beginning, they didn’t even realize that they were actually going around in circles within the maze . They were literally meandering around the same small region throughout the whole journey!

“Adventure time, seventy-three hours, round-up; Total points for attack, hundred and three points; Number of time seeking for help, zero; Spoils of War Value, five hundred and sixteen points . ”
The one in charge of the exit strategy was called Phil Ohis Savoy . A blonde woman, who was beautiful but gave out a metallic vibe, was reading monotonously . “The final total is eight hundred and ninety-two points . You can opt to bring along your spoils of war, or you can leave them behind and exchange prizes for your accumulated points . ”
The four young businessmen looked at the long list of exchange options . They discussed carefully, before finally deciding to leave their spoils of war in exchange for something special .
The first thing that caught their eyes was a wolf tooth, which could bring good luck . They also liked the bundle of ear wheat, which could be made into a light therapeutic medicine, after soaking it in alcohol . There was even an extremely tough axle that caught their fancies!
These items weren’t easily obtained by commoners, especially at such a low cost . So, when they left, they were all satisfied and beamed with joy .
Sui Xiong was resting in a corner underneath the maze . He was observing the situation of the maze with his unique ability, while also watching the situation at the theme park .
There, he saw most of the people laughing . They were relaxed and happy . The theme park had been designed according to his beliefs, and it really did seem to bring about happiness to the people .
My beliefs were correct, right? he told himself .
It can be seen, just by looking at the situation of the theme park . I felt that my beliefs correspond to reality, and they are also closely related to the people’s own benefit and morals .
However, his idea was always out of step with what the people in the world had in mind .
What is the problem exactly?
After some thinking, Sui Xiong worked out an answer in his mind .
Maybe… It is because I was already too powerful when I first entered into the human society . I was so powerful, I couldn’t communicate normally with the people .
So, to understand the people, I must first really get to know them . I must be with them and live like a commoner, laugh and cry with them, and experience joy and sorrow in life with them .
These things are something that a strong jellyfish God just can’t do!
Actually, it was not exactly impossible… For example, he had already thought of a way to solve the problem!
If the problem lay within the fact that he was too strong, he could create a clone that was less powerful . That way, he would not have any special power or memory, but blend in among the people in the world as a regular commoner . So, he would be able to experience all the normal emotions in the world!
Sui Xiong believed that, if he did this, he would be able to find out what’s wrong with him, and also be able to really understand the moral values of the world, so that he could then conform to the local practices .
Would all these be things difficult? Not at all!
To create a human body and insert part of his memory on earth was actually pretty simple! After making the decision, he started to make moves .
As he had predicted, he only spent a day’s time to create a clone that looked almost identical to him . The clone was a young man wearing a T-shirt and shorts, who couldn’t be bothered by his appearance . He looked slightly skinny, and was short-sighted, and had no discernible difference from any normal person from earth!
Mm, in actual fact, there was no difference, as the clone even possessed the knowledge of a normal youngster on earth . Also, it was planted by Sui Xiong, so there wasn’t much difference from himself . The clone was then sent to the Gold Coin Federation, where he was left by the busy seaside .
“Clone that inherited my body and talent on earth, help me to get to know the world and understand it better!” When everything was ready, he soared up into the sky . He then made himself invisible in order to watch the show . Sui Xiong forecasted the future, just like how the prophets in the legends would .
But, his prophecy came to nothing…
The clone woke up . At first, he was at a loss for what to do, but he adjusted himself very quickly, then looked for any sign of human habitation . He found a fishing village by the seaside, after searching for a while .
However, due to his lack of understanding of the language in the world, plus his strange clothing and hair, he got into a conflict with the fishermen . He was knocked down onto the ground, and a wicked fisherman stabbed a fish fork at him, killing him instantly . Then, they cast his dead body into the sea!
Sui Xiong was dumbfounded, having witnessed the entire process while floating in the air . According to his plot, the well-mannered young man would be approved of by the people, especially with his gentle attitude and willingness! He just assumed that those attributes would help him to easily blend in among the people .
Why would he be beaten to death, before he could even receive recognition?!
Why would it turn out like this?!
He roared from the bottom of his heart .
This is totally not aligned with the plot that I constructed!
