Chapter 33 Mad... Not... Jue...

"You don't have to shout my name over and over," Feng Bujue replied with a rather impatient tone, "I'm not deaf."

Upon hearing this, Samodir actually stopped shouting... He immediately raised his arm and unleashed a black energy slash, attacking Jue Ge head-on.

*Hissing and ringing*—a series of continuous sounds declared that the crystals on the ground were easily torn apart by this slash.

Feng Bujue had already entered battle mode. With his soul intent and absolute speed, avoiding this strike was not difficult.

But what he wanted to do... was far more than just dodge.

*Chi chi chi*—

Golden light flashed in rapid succession.

At the same time as Samodir attacked, Death Poker also made its move.

When Feng Bujue had his hands in his pockets earlier, he had already secretly activated his spiritual weapon in his pocket, so at this moment, he appeared to be handling things with ease.

However, the target of the poker... was not Samodir, but...

"Hmph... playing these petty tricks." The Jailer looked at the golden light flying towards his face and just responded with a sneer, "Humans are just humans... What can this level of attack do to me?" He raised a hand to block and easily shattered the Death Poker, "Ha! Pretty accurate aim, knowing to hit my eyes."

*Bang*—

Moon Steps shattered the air as his figure advanced rapidly.

Feng Bujue's attack was obviously not over. Just as the Jailer waved his hand to block the cards, he had already lunged in front of the opponent, reaching out his arms to grab his ribs.

"Courting death..." The Jailer looked at Jue Ge with a disdainful gaze, thinking that this otherworldly traveler was either an idiot or a madman. With human abilities, wanting to fight him hand-to-hand was simply asking for death.

However, the unexpected happened the moment Jue Ge's hands touched the Jailer's body...

In the next second, the Jailer only felt the scenery in front of him suddenly change. In a daze, he had arrived beside Samodir.

Just as he was still in shock and confusion, he heard Samodir's stern roar, "Go to hell! Jailer!"

"Ah!" Startled and in panic, the Jailer immediately reacted instinctively. He stepped down hard, like a cannonball, flying into the sky.

The Jailer was still very wary of Samodir's strength. To be honest, he didn't have the confidence to withstand a head-on attack from the opponent, so his first reaction was to avoid it.

But... when the Jailer flew into the air, he felt that something was not right...

"Damn it!" When he regained his senses and cast his gaze back to the bottom of the pit, he realized that he had been tricked.

At this time, Feng Bujue had already arrived beside Honghu, feeding him a *panacea*-500 and a bottle of survival value supplement.

"Huff... nice tactical application..." Honghu got up and immediately entered battle mode as well. He didn't thank Jue Ge but rather commented on the series of actions he had just taken.

"It's okay... It's not really a particularly brilliant plan." Feng Bujue said, glancing at the Jailer in the air, "Fortunately, the target is stupid enough."

His words were obviously meant to provoke the Jailer. In fact... Jue Ge's set of tactics was quite brilliant. He had already thought out every step when he was talking to the Jailer.

First, secretly prepare the Death Poker; then, use the poker to attack the Jailer's eyes, creating an opening to get close; after approaching the opponent, use 【Flying Sand in the Wind】, dragging him near Samodir; finally, before the other party could react... while running towards his teammate, use the 【Deceptive Pocket Watch】 to imitate Samodir's voice and shout to kill.

Based on the Jailer's attitude towards Samodir and some subtle reactions, Feng Bujue judged that the Jailer's strength was below Samodir, so he came up with this plan in a matter of seconds...

Taking advantage of the Jailer's hesitation and surprise after being dragged by the skill, Jue Ge deceived the other party with just a voice changer. No matter how fast the Jailer's reaction speed was, the fact that he was dragged dozens of meters away by Feng Bujue was already a reality. Even if it only took him two seconds to realize he had been fooled, Feng Bujue would still rush towards Honghu two seconds earlier. The worst-case scenario... would be nothing more than Jue Ge not having enough time to put the panacea into Honghu's mouth and having to carry Honghu and run away first.

And now... it was undoubtedly the best outcome.

"You cunning bastard..." The Jailer cursed in mid-air. Then, he looked down at Samodir and shouted, "Samodir, isn't he your enemy? What are you still standing there for? Quickly kill him!"

"Don't you dare order me around!" Samodir roared at the sky. Then, he turned his head to look at Jue Ge, "Even if you didn't say it... I would still tear him to pieces." With that, his demonic hooves slowly stepped out.

*Boom... Boom...*

This ferocious demon stretched out his wings, caressed his claws, and approached the two players with obvious murderous intent.

"Today, the Lord of Time won't come to save you again." He said as he walked, "I said... I will make you pay."

"Honghu..." Feng Bujue stared intently at the approaching Samodir, using a ventriloquistic voice and twisting his mouth, "I have an idea..."

"What?" Honghu also lowered his voice in response.

"Run away," Feng Bujue replied.

"Good idea," Honghu replied immediately.

This was indeed a good idea because it did not conflict with the content of the main quest...

"Okay, I'll create an opening, and you find the right time to get out," Feng Bujue continued.

"Understood," Honghu responded.

After discussing it with his teammate, Jue Ge began to act. He took something out of his pocket, raised his arm, and threw it forward, shouting, "I choose you! God of Haiku!"

"What kind of name is that..." Honghu couldn't help but complain.

But his complaint would not affect the development of the situation...

The spirit ball opened with a "ping" in mid-air, and then a white light shot out from it.

In two seconds, that large pool of white light solidified into shape, changing from virtual to real, and becoming a giant Mushroom Man.

"Wipe—wipe—" The Mushroom Man shouted twice as soon as he appeared. Facing Samodir, who was several feet away, he was not afraid at all, and still posed in a karate-like stance, ready to meet the attack.

"God of Haiku! Use Snow Dance Nine Heavens!" Feng Bujue swung his arm and issued an attack command.

"Hey! Where did you even learn that move name from?" Honghu couldn't help but yell out again.

On the other side... Before Jue Ge could finish his words, the Mushroom Man had already charged forward. He approached Samodir with the movements of a sprint, and then tapped his feet, flew up, and jumped above Samodir.

"Wipe!" The Mushroom Man falling from the air stretched out one hand and supported himself on the top of Samodir's head, keeping himself in an inverted position; then, he constantly rubbed the mushroom cap on his head with the other hand, scattering many spore-like fine powder.

Samodir, one of the powerful Bosses in the main universe, was actually poisoned at this moment.

"Unreasonable..." The blood vessels on Samodir's forehead burst... Purple liquid sprayed out from inside, splattering all over his face.

In a rage, the energy in his body collapsed outward, like a flood that had breached its banks, spreading in all directions.

"Wipe—" The Mushroom Man screamed miserably and was blasted into dust by the soaring black current.

Seeing this, Feng Bujue knew that the time had come, and immediately shouted softly to Honghu, "Now!" Before he could finish his words, he had already started running.

Honghu naturally would not be polite with him, turned around, and dashed out.

The two of them were like arrows leaving the string, running dozens of meters in the blink of an eye. The Jailer in mid-air wanted to go over to stop them, but he was stopped by the soaring energy from Samodir and was unable to chase after them in the first place.

"Ah! Ah—" Samodir howled madly there for dozens of seconds before he restrained his monstrous demonic energy, "Feng Bujue! Where are you! I'm going to kill you!"

"Idiot! He's already run away!" The Jailer rushed towards the direction the two players had escaped, shouting without turning his head, "Follow me! I can detect their... uh..."

At this moment...

A sharp claw penetrated the Jailer's heart from behind, grasping his heart.

"You..." The Jailer's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

"Who did you call an idiot? Idiot." Samodir's cold voice sounded in his ear.

"Why..." Black blood flowed from the Jailer's mouth.

"Of course, it's not because you called me an idiot, hehehe..." Samodir sneered.

At this moment, Samodir was completely different from before. His madness, recklessness, and tyranny... were all illusions.

His eyes had never been blinded by hatred and anger.

Born in an evil race, but still able to climb to the position of Time Official step by step... his scheming and wisdom were beyond doubt. Those who underestimated this would pay the price...

"Billy... let me say hello to you." Samodir's last sentence was like a bucket of ice water poured down, making the Jailer feel an bone-chilling cold.

…………

"I really just came to see you..."

"Anyway, your time is running out..."

…………

"That bastard... thing..." The Jailer said through gritted teeth, "He was... 'coming to see me one last time'..."

"Hehe... it's good that you understand." Samodir laughed, "Everything on Jaw Demon Island... is a deal. Don't blame me... I just made a deal with him."

"No... no, that's not right... then why did he still come to remind me..." the Jailer said again.

"Because he knew very well..." Samodir replied, "... how to get a self-righteous guy like you hooked."

Samodir paused for two seconds and continued with a mocking tone: "Billy just gave you a little hint, and you became restless; a corpse of a Silkworm Mother made you think wildly... so, after he left, you couldn't wait to come to the Maze to investigate and discovered the culprit - that group of otherworldly travelers."

"How... could you... know..." The Jailer replied with difficulty.

"Ha! Isn't it obvious?" Samodir replied gloomily, "Did you think the seal of the cage was only loosened just now?"

"That's impossible..." The Jailer's expression changed drastically, "Billy, he didn't..."

"No, his strength is very strong." Samodir said, "Although I was also very surprised... but the reality is that he is now stronger than me..." He paused for a moment, "Of course, that's not the point. In short... as early as when Billy and I reached a deal, I was already free, and my power was no longer restricted by the cage. From that time on, I could investigate everything on the island."

"And everything you did... I also saw it all." Samodir sneered twice again and said: "Heh... no matter how much you like to say that sentence 'whatever', but in essence... you are still a rat who plots everything. Jailer, you have never had the courage to challenge the strong head-on, and even when facing the weak, you like to use some sudden attacks or assassination methods...

Like all sadists in this world, all the appearances on you and all the behaviors you make are just to cover up the inferiority and weakness in your heart... Even a despicable maggot is infinitely noble compared to you. You are a guy that makes me sick..."

Speaking up to this point, Samodir's sharp claws clenched tighter and tighter: "Speaking of which... it's really not easy to let a villain like you show flaws..." He moved his neck twice, "I have acted very hard, but your guard against me has not been relaxed at all... Hmph... if it weren't for being afraid that you hold the key to 'resealing me into the cage', I would have directly done it long ago. There was no need to wait for such an opportunity..."

At this time, the Jailer was unable to respond. His eyes were full of despair and regret; Billy's words kept flashing before his eyes...

…………

"Don't trust superficial phenomena."

…………

"Fortunately..." Samodir continued, "Feng Bujue's performance did not disappoint me. He is really an annoying guy, isn't he? Heh... with his cooperation, my performance also seems more natural." He said to this point, and his tone changed slightly, "However... putting aside those things, just talking about strength... the current Feng Bujue is already a very powerful person. You should have realized it when you launched a sneak attack on him from above... He and the other two otherworldly travelers are not on the same level at all. I have to admit... your choice to drive away the tiger and swallow the wolf, using my hand to kill him, was a very correct decision." He turned his face and glared at the Jailer, "If you also kill that guy named Honghu, leaving only Feng Bujue alone... you would be in danger..." He lowered his voice, "Without a 'witness', that kid would no longer need to hide his strength. I'm afraid... you would die at his hands..."

…………

"Never underestimate that guy who is better at being annoying than you..."

…………

After a few minutes, the Jailer's life had come to an end, and Samodir's words could be considered to have made him die clearly.

At the very end, the Jailer tried his best and still murmured a sentence: "The Lord of Time... will not... let you go..."

"Heh..." Samodir laughed disdainfully, "This really sounds like the dying words that 'someone like you' would say..."

*Chi—*

Sharp claws clenched hard, the heart exploded, and black blood splattered like paint.

Samodir threw the Jailer's body on the ground like garbage, and then raised his leg and stomped on the latter's head, crushing it, followed by the chest, abdomen, and limbs...

It wasn't until there was a pool of minced meat left on the ground that Samodir found what he wanted.

He bent down and used the tips of his sharp claws to pick up the Jailer's spine and carefully pulled out a band of light emitting a purple shimmer from it.

"Well... are there already so many prisoners on the island..." Samodir examined the purple light band (equivalent to the key chain of the Jaw Demon Island administrator) in front of his eyes, "Hehe... if I let you all out, it would be very interesting, right..."

Samodir put away the light band, then raised his head and looked at the direction the two players had just escaped, "So that's how it is... this kid made a 'deal' with Fuling long ago..." He snorted coldly, "Hmph... you've prepared a way out in advance, so you're invincible from the start, huh..." He shook his head, "Okay, I'll let you off this time. After all... before the Lord of Time discovers the situation here, I still have a lot of things to do..."

He muttered a few words, then spread the giant wings behind him, took a chestful of demonic energy, and flew into the sky...

…………

At the same time, on the far side of the main universe...

Time Meter City, First Time Official Mansion.

"Three more steps and I'll checkmate."

The voice of the "man" who spoke was like a rock, and he looked almost like one too... He was about two meters thirty in height, and his body was entirely composed of marble of different colors. His basic appearance was like a stout human. What was more bizarre was that he actually had "hair." Of course, his hair was not moss or anything like that, but rather a series of things that looked like battlements... They grew around the top of his head like a crown...

This stone man was the First Time Official under the Lord of Time - Celestial Stone.

"Hey! Don't rush me! Did I rush you just now?"

And the person talking to him was an ordinary-looking old man in a Middle-earth wizard outfit (white robe) with an old emo-like hairstyle.

He... was the God of Wisdom, Westend.

Celestial Stone and Westend often got together like this to play chess (a game similar to chess, but the pieces inside were all weird things that only existed in the main universe). Ironically... the guy known as the "God of Wisdom" always lost more often than he won...

"We had the same conversation an hour ago. Do you remember?" Celestial Stone said again.

"Stop nagging! Do you think I have Alzheimer's?" Westend roared disapprovingly, then continued to scratch his head and cheeks while staring at the chessboard.

"Sigh..." Celestial Stone rested his chin on his hand and turned his head to one side, "If you don't mind, can I leave for a while?"

"Sure, sure." Westend replied impatiently.

Celestial Stone shrugged, walked to a corner of the room, picked up a kettle, poured himself a drink, and gulped it down.

Suddenly, the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of something...

In the next second, Celestial Stone's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately spat out what was in his mouth.

"Ah!" He roared, startling Westend beside the chessboard.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Westend looked around nervously, "Has the Head of All Demons attacked?"

"Something happened on Jaw Demon Island!" Celestial Stone said as he ran towards the door.

Westend was stunned for a few seconds, then stood up and walked to where Celestial Stone had just been standing.

There was a shelf on the wall there, and on the shelf was an object that looked like a crystal ball. The shape of this crystal ball was quite strange. It looked like a fiery white eyeball, and in the middle of the ball, there was a thin amber line...
