The starting point is auspicious; the fiancée will not call off the engagement.

Seeing Xiaoyue turn into a fluffy ball, Fang Zhou couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Okay, okay, just kidding."

He held Xiaoyue in his arms, stroked its fur, and gently comforted it.

Arrogance tilted his head, watching Xiaoyue whimpering in Fang Zhou's arms, and then looked at the stone monster in the distance.

"They are weak, don't be afraid."

Arrogance, mimicking Fang Zhou's actions, tried to comfort Xiao Yue.

Fang Zhou was taken aback by Ao Man's arrogant demeanor. It seemed that Ao Man really liked Xiao Yue and was even taking the initiative to comfort her.

Just then, the stone monsters ran up to the group.

There were thirteen stone monsters in total. Their bodies were pieced together from grayish-brown rocks, with spiritual light flowing around their joints. They also had a huge mandible, and the whole thing looked like a giant stone ant.

The spiritual energy fluctuations are around the early stage of the spiritual aperture, the movements are relatively clumsy, and the attack methods are limited.

Fang Zhou glanced at one of the roadside stalls and gave his assessment.

He reached out and pressed down, and the stone monsters instantly disintegrated, turning into pieces of stone. Then, amber-colored stones flew out from the pile of stones and floated in front of Fang Zhou.

These stones are the reward? It feels a bit strange.

Without thinking much, he carefully put the stones away.

Fang Zhou looked at Arrogance, who was still in a daze, showing no reaction to what had just happened.

He suspected that if he hadn't acted, Pride would have just stood there dumbfounded, letting the stone monsters attack him.

Fang Zhou shook his head, picked up Xiao Yue, and headed towards the direction the stone monster had come from.

"Let's go. Next time you do it, just like I did. Don't destroy this planet."

"it is good."

Arrogantly, he nodded blankly and silently followed behind Fang Zhou.

Before long, after several waves of attacks from stone monsters, the human and the god arrived at a huge, unfinished maze.

"Aerial flight and climbing are prohibited here."

That's interesting. Is this the puzzle that senior sister was talking about?

Fang Zhou became interested. He looked at the maze; the restrictions here weren't very strong, clearly designed to accommodate disciples who weren't very bright. If all else failed, they could forcefully break through the restrictions and leave the maze from the sky. Was this to cultivate the disciples' ability to break the rules?

Xiaoyue jumped out of his arms, stood on the ground, and looked curiously at the huge maze.

Fang Zhou smiled and looked at the arrogant man who had remained silent.

"This place looks interesting. How about you lead the way? But you can't use your powers, okay? We're here to play a game, after all."

Arrogance stared blankly at Fang Zhou. Fang Zhou didn't urge him, but just stood quietly, waiting for Arrogance's answer.

"it is good."

Arrogantly, He walked towards the entrance of the maze. He stood at the entrance for a while, then looked back at Fang Zhou. Seeing that Fang Zhou and Xiao Yue were quietly following behind Him, He then stepped into the entrance of the maze.

They hadn't been inside the maze long when they came to a crossroads.

Arrogance glanced back at Fang Zhou, and saw that Fang Zhou did not speak, but simply smiled and waited for His choice.

He glanced around, finally made up his mind, and walked to the left.

Isn't this a choice I can make myself?

How do Gluttons raise their children? Don't they ever take Pride out to play?

Fang Zhou looked at the arrogance of his own choice, smiled slightly, and silently cursed the gods in his heart.

As Pride reached a corner, three stone monsters rushed towards him from the corner.

Pride simply stared blankly as the stone monster crashed into Him, making no move whatsoever.

The stone monster crashed straight into Pride, but to no avail; it was directly blasted into dust and scattered in all directions.

Why don't you attack them?

Fang Zhou looked at Ao Man with a puzzled expression, as the stone dust was blocked in front of him.

Although these stone monsters pose no danger, we shouldn't let them attack us unchecked, since the stone dust doesn't look very clean.

Arrogance tilted his head and looked at Fang Zhou blankly.

"Aren't you supposed to be unable to use your strength?"

Fang Zhou covered his face; he should have been more careful with his words.

"Sorry, I wasn't clear. Some simple attacks are still possible."

"it is good."

He nodded arrogantly and continued walking forward.

Before long, Arrogance led Fang Zhou to a stone door.

There were four stone pillars at the entrance. He glanced at them arrogantly and then turned back.

Fang Zhou reached out and stopped the arrogance.

"How do we get back?"

He glanced at Fang Zhou arrogantly and said matter-of-factly:

"There's no way out."

After saying that, He was about to continue walking back.

Fang Zhou helplessly reached out to stop Him. If He were allowed to continue walking, He would probably have to walk all day, since Pride was completely unpredictable.

But is there no night scene here? Why is it always daytime?

"Wait a minute, look, that's a door. There should be a mechanism nearby. Once we find the mechanism, we can open the door, and there'll be a path behind it."

Fang Zhou patiently explained to Arrogance.

But Pride remained expressionless, his gaze blank. He nodded blankly and then made no further move.

Fang Zhou looked at the arrogance and sighed helplessly.

"Let me lead the way."

"it is good."

Arrogant nodded, though his expression remained blank, Fang Zhou inexplicably sensed that he seemed somewhat disappointed.

He shook his head, told Xiaoyue to comfort Aoman, and then turned to figure out how to open the stone door.

Fang Zhou glanced at the stone gate and discovered that it had a direct spiritual connection with the four stone pillars.

So, are these four stone pillars the mechanism?

A stone pillar radiates a spiritual light, and a symbol is etched on its surface.

Fang Zhou walked up to a stone pillar that wasn't shining and gently tapped it.

The stone pillar he struck emitted a spiritual light, forming a symbol on its surface.

So that's how it is. In his experience, you should strike the stone pillars in a specific order to make them light up, and then the stone door will open.

So, what is the order?

The person who designed the door must have left clues along the way, and they were quite obvious, since this is only the first hurdle.

Fang Zhou recalled the entire process of entering the maze and remembered the stone monsters that had been pulverized by the attack on Arrogance.

No way, Fang Zhou's lips twitched. Could the answer be in the bodies of those three stone monsters?

After all, there were no other clues along the way, only those three stone monsters.

Logically, three stone monsters shouldn't correspond to four stone pillars. However, if one pillar is already lit up, then three stone monsters are enough, making it a simple puzzle.

But those three stone monsters have already been pulverized by arrogance. Are they going to use cheat codes?

No, don't underestimate me.

Fang Zhou straightened his expression. "I'm an old hand at exhaustive search. How could such a simple puzzle possibly stump me?"

Let me find the answer for you.

Fang Zhou began to strike the three stone pillars repeatedly, and the three stone pillars lit up one by one, eliminating the wrong answers.

Arrogance and Xiaoyue tilted their heads together, looking at Fang Zhou, who was clearly having a lot of fun.

It wasn't long before Fang Zhou found the correct order.

The four stone pillars emitted a spiritual light simultaneously, the runes flickered slightly, and the stone door slowly opened.

Fang Zhou looked excitedly at the stone gate, and Ao Man and Xiao Yue followed Fang Zhou's gaze to the stone gate.

Under the expectant gazes of the group, the stone door opened completely, and behind it lay…
