When all of them were in the country park the next day, they searched around and contemplated
where this person could be hiding. Some shining symbols appeared on the ground while they were
searching around. Both humans and the monkey panicked and almost fainted. The position where the
monkey was sitting was surrounded by a glittering circle.
In front of the three people, there were shining arrows pointing at a particular direction. Without
any other hints, they could only blindly follow the way directed by the arrows. They kept walking forwards
and met each other at a junction. The three arrows combined to become a big arrow and pointed to one
direction. All of them noticed that they were going to the same destination and finding the same person.
That’s why they suddenly greeted each other.
After they had followed the arrows for a certain period of time, the arrows disappeared and they
saw the monkey in front of them. Anthony, John and Benson all thought that the monkey was “Dream
Deity”. The monkey thought that Anthony, John and Benson were the deities. Suddenly, they heard a
voice from somewhere, “Hello everyone.” All heads turned. Soon, an elegant woman appeared in front of
them. “Are you willing to take the challenge and join the adventure?” All of them nodded without
hesitation as they thought this might be the only chance to change their lives.
Wind blew, ground shook, and leaves fell. All of them felt that there were some changes in their
bodies. It seemed that they got some mysterious power.
“I've given you something. You need to explore it by yourself. I won’t tell you anything about it. Good
luck! Get this map and start your adventure. ”The deity handed them a magic carpet which could take them
to everywhere in the world.
A point marked with “Golden Bauhinia Square” on the map was flashing. The adventure began.
Chapter 3
When they arrived, they didn’t know where to go. Suddenly, a lot of fog came out from the back of the
Golden Bauhinia. A massive, black, scaring spider appeared. His eight legs were covered with some fur and
had some stripes. It was as horrible as the one that might only appear in our nightmare.
All of them were shrouded in the purple fog. The passers-by outside the shroud couldn’t see them. The
spider kept moving towards them. However, no one made a sound or moved a step as they were too afraid
and didn’t know what to do.
Anthony murmured with a shaking voice, “We will die if we continue doing nothing...” One step, two
steps, three steps. The spider was just 3 steps away from them. Benson, the one who was standing at the
head of line, shivered with tense. Under the nervous condition, Benson landed the spider a blow on its eye
with extraordinary power. The spider stepped back as the punch was too powerful. The fog kept coming
out with a pleasant smell which might make the people and the monkey faint. It was hard to find where the
spider was. At that moment, Benson concentrated and kept focusing on searching the spider. When he felt
something fluffy, he punched upwards with courage. Benson’s super power was uncovered. It was his
extraordinary power and outstanding concentration ability.
After the spider had received numerous punches, it surrendered. The spider turned a violet crystal on the
ground. “We’d better keep the crystal well as I think that might help our future plans,” said Anthony.
They took out the map again and the point marked with “Elephant Truck Hill” was flashing, telling them
the second mission point.
