“Since I’ve met you, I definitely won’t ignore you. You don’t have to thank me. Just tell me who you are and why you’re here.”

“My name is Macbeth. I accidentally fell into this place. It’s a long story…”

According to Macbeth, he was actually a local aborigine and even knew that bald uncle.

“Some time ago, my sister was captured by a mysterious black-clothed man and brought to a place called the forbidden land. It’s the cave we’re in. Since you were able to enter, you probably have some understanding of this space?”

Klein stroked his chin. So that was the case. The two groups of people had the same goal.

Klein looked at Macbeth and asked, “So you entered this place to save your sister?”

Macbeth nodded. “That’s right. My sister is all I have left. The two of us are dependent on each other. I can’t lose her, but I know that this place is very dangerous. Even if I had money, I might not be able to get help. I had no choice but to enter alone. Even if I couldn’t save my sister, I wouldn’t have any regrets…”

Gray sighed. He didn’t expect this gentle-looking young man to have such courage to go deep into the tiger’s den in order to save his sister.

However, Klein felt that something wasn’t quite right.

“If you really followed the black-clothed man to this place, then the things you experienced should be the same as ours? Since that’s the case, you should have encountered many dangers and difficulties?”

At the very least, after entering the white fog space, he would be ambushed and attacked by the octopus.

Klein didn’t underestimate anyone, but the powerless young man in front of him didn’t seem like a brave and invincible warrior.

How did he overcome all the dangers and come straight to this place?

Upon hearing Klein’s words, Gray felt that it made sense, and he immediately raised his own question.

“We killed the octopus so that we could enter this space without any distractions. How did you avoid the octopus’s control and attack? Did you float here safely along the lake?”

The stranger was a smart person. He could see that the two people in front of him were suspicious of him.

He sighed and quickly explained.

“It’s not what you think. The path I took is different from yours. In the complete darkness, I didn’t encounter any octopus like you!”

“I entered another space and was attacked by a giant mantis. I ran away and accidentally fell into the river and was sent to this place…”

Klein blinked as a puzzled and shocked expression appeared on his face.

The young man in front of him could be considered to have half-convinced him. Could it be that there was indeed more than one path in this space?

Different encounters would lead to different results, but they would all end up in the same place with the same destination?

Macbeth seemed to see the hesitation in the two’s words.

Macbeth smiled and said, “I’m really not a bad person. If I’m really the master of this place, why would I use such a method to get close to you? There’s no need at all!”

Klein reached out and touched his chin. “What you said makes sense. Since that’s the case, let’s act together.”

“We’re also trying to save someone. Apart from that, we’ve lost a teammate. He seems to have fallen from here as well. We don’t know if he’s alive or dead…”

Macbeth pointed to the spot behind him. “I should have marked come in from that direction. If your friend had also fallen into the lake, I suggest that we search there. Perhaps there might be some clues!”

After Klein and Gray agreed, they decided to act together and search in the direction Macbeth had pointed.

Klein kept calling out James’ name, but he still didn’t get any answers.

He wondered what kind of place this was and why he couldn’t see any man-made traces as he went deeper?

Klein turned on the system’s search function and began searching for the specific situation in the surrounding area.

When he realized that the surrounding situation was more complicated than he had imagined, he already had a plan in mind…

A large door appeared in front of the three of them. It was exquisitely carved, and it was probably man-made.

Macbeth seemed to be curious as he looked around.

Klein frowned slightly. “Don’t touch it randomly. There’s a high possibility of traps and pitfalls around here. If you take the wrong step, you might be doomed!”

Klein’s warning surprised Macbeth. He didn’t seem to have any experience in taking risks, and he was always at a loss when faced with such a situation.

He quickly retracted his hands and stood behind Klein.

“Don’t worry. Without any instructions from you, I definitely won’t touch anything!”

Then, Macbeth acted as though he was following behind the two big shots, ready to lie down to win.

At that moment, Klein and Gray’s gaze landed on a candlestick on the right side of the door.

This was probably the most primitive and simple mechanism. The two of them looked at each other and walked up to the candlestick.

Klein lit the candle with true fire, and the space instantly lit up.

Then, he twisted the handle of the candlestick with his hand. He recalled a loud snore, and the door slowly opened with a bang!

A look of surprise appeared on Macbeth’s face as he looked at Klein in disbelief.

“You can tell how we should open it with just a glance. Aren’t you too amazing?”

Klein waved his hand. “It’s just some petty tricks. It’s nothing to us…”

The setting of this mechanism wasn’t very meaningful. Most people with some experience could open it. It had probably existed for a long time.

Klein smiled and said, “Let’s go in!”

At that moment, Macbeth was still following behind the two of them, as though he wanted to follow Klein’s lead.

He looked timid, as though he was curious about everything, but at the same time, he was filled with fear.

Klein suddenly turned around and patted Macbeth on the shoulder.

“Seeing how eager you were just now, why don’t you go in first and take a look? The two of us will follow?”

Macbeth hurriedly shook his head. “No, no, this place is too dangerous. A person like me, who doesn’t even have the strength to truss a chicken, naturally has to follow the two big shots behind you!”

Gray also frowned slightly. “Why are you suddenly being so polite? Weren’t you still quite active before? You were the one who brought us here. Naturally, you should go in first?”

An awkward expression appeared on Macbeth’s face. “Actually, I’m quite timid, and I don’t have much ability. Just now, I just wanted to not let you guys look down on me, so I said a few big words. Please don’t take it seriously!”

As he spoke, Macbeth cast his gaze towards the interior of the main door, as though he was very afraid that there would be some dangerous traps inside.
