Slime simulator

The grassland stretched out as far as the eye could see, a boundless expanse of green.

There was no end in sight.

Suke didn't know what this signified.

Moreover, he had clearly entered a new passage.

How did he end up in this place?

In the distance, the figure of a monkey caught Suke's attention.

Suke was taken aback.

Rhombus?

How was it here?

Suke approached, releasing his senses.

He discovered that it was indeed Rhombus.

At that moment, Rhombus also turned around, and upon seeing Suke, it excitedly ran over and hugged Suke's leg.

"Kern, why are you back so soon?"

Suke curiously looked at Rhombus, "Where's Lisflein?"

Rhombus pointed into the distance, "After you left, Lisflein and I arrived here."

"She went ahead to scout."

Suke nodded.

"Then I'll wait here with you for her to return."

Sitting down, Suke chatted with Rhombus.

The current Rhombus was already at Fourth Rank Level Three.

That was a whole level higher than when he entered the Mysterious Land.

He had only entered the Mysterious Land a day ago.

Rhombus's level-up shouldn't be this fast, should it?

"Rhombus, how many days have passed since I went in until now?"

Rhombus looked at Suke in confusion, then tilted its head and thought for a moment, "Almost a month, I guess."

A month?

Suke's eyes flickered slightly.

So, one day in that Mysterious Land was equal to thirty days in the Eye of the Beast.

A 30:1 time flow rate?

Suke was silent for a while, then asked Rhombus a few more questions.

He discovered that the Rhombus before him was indeed the little monkey he knew.

Then why.

Did he suddenly appear outside the Mysterious Land?

Soon, Lisflein appeared.

Compared to when he entered the Mysterious Land.

Suke wondered if it was his imagination, but Lisflein's figure seemed more shapely.

Shaking his head, Suke threw away his mistaken focus and prepared to speak.

Lisflein saw Suke, her eyes widened, and she spoke first.

"Kern, you're out!"

Her tone was filled with joy.

Suke nodded.

"I'm out."

After speaking, Suke asked again, "Did you see Corvid?"

Lisflein and Rhombus shook their heads in unison.

"No."

"Wasn't it with you?"

Suke nodded, "I don't know..."

He wanted to say that he had suddenly arrived here from that passage, but he didn't say it.

Suke didn't know what kind of state he was in now.

Together with Lisflein and Rhombus, the three of them traveled together.

During the time that he and Corvid entered the Mysterious Land.

A major event occurred in the Eye of the Beast.

It seemed that a great treasure was about to be born.

Many people were searching for the treasure's whereabouts in various places.

Lisflein and Rhombus were also searching for the treasure while waiting for Suke and Corvid.

Treasure?

Suke calmed down.

There was actually a treasure!

The existing trial-takers were estimated to be at least Seventh Rank Peak.

There must be many Eighth Rank experts as well.

So many experts were fighting for a treasure.

It was unimaginable what kind of thing this treasure would be.

Taking a deep breath, Suke led Lisflein and Rhombus forward.

"Then, let's go look for the treasure too."

Lisflein looked at Suke, "What about Corvid? Aren't we waiting for it?"

Suke smiled and looked at Lisflein, "Of the two that went in, only one can come out, it's already dead."

Lisflein was stunned, gave a dry laugh, and distanced herself a little from Suke, "Then, let's go."

On the side, Rhombus also seemed a little frightened and distanced itself a little from Suke.

Looking at their actions, Suke smiled and continued forward.

After walking more than ten meters.

Suke suddenly moved.

An attack appeared directly, attacking the two of them.

Lisflein's eyes widened, "Kern, you..."

Boom!!!

A huge flame directly engulfed her.

A scream appeared.

However, it only lasted for a moment before turning into ashes.

On the other side, the little monkey, only at Fourth Rank, was burned to ashes the moment it came into contact with the flames.

Suke looked at the sky.

"Alright, stop with these fake things."

As Suke's voice fell.

The entire space twisted.

Then, Suke found himself back in that passage.

"Illusion?"

Laughing, Suke walked forward.

Ahead, there were still corpses.

Looking at these corpses, Suke began to loot them.

Unlike the previous passage.

The corpses in this passage were much richer.

Those who could withstand the pressure of the previous passage, one rank higher than him, could not possibly rely on their own strength like Suke.

They must have relied on treasures to support themselves or some secret technique.

These were all symbols of great forces.

Moreover...

Their strength was also extremely strong.

Suke sensed extremely strong fluctuations on several skeletons.

Indicating that these skeletons must have been Eighth Rank existences before their death.

This place could only be entered by Seventh Rank and below.

This meant that these Eighth Rank existences had suppressed their levels to enter, and immediately leveled up after entering.

Even Eighth Rank experts had died here.

The danger here was conceivable.

However, having withstood the previous passage, they died in this passage.

Illusion...

Walking forward a few steps, he left the passage.

Suke turned around, looking at the closed passage.

"It's a bit simple for me."

In front of the closed passage, there was a wooden sign.

"Purity of Heart"

The back read.

"Illusions Break on Their Own"

Suke smiled.

"Purity? As long as you believe it's real, then the fake is also real. If you think it's fake, the real is also fake."

Perhaps what just happened wasn't an illusion, but the real Lisflein and Rhombus.

But to Suke, it didn't matter.

He laughed self-deprecatingly.

"This... can also be considered purity, I guess."

Suke looked ahead.

This time, unlike what Suke had expected.

There weren't three passages.

But one passage.

In front of the passage, there were three wooden signs.

Next to the three wooden signs, there were several corpses.

Suke looted the corpses first, enriching himself again.

After that, Suke checked the writing on the three wooden signs one by one.

"No Eighth Rank Can Pass"

"Eighth Rank Can't Pass"

"Only One is True"

Suke fell silent.

"This is... a question?"

Suke stepped forward and discovered that the writing on these three wooden signs could not be erased.

This meant that this was not written by the trial-takers who entered here themselves.

It was very likely the key to the real past.

There was only one passage.

The breaking point was on the level.

"Only one is true?"

"Based on the previous two judgments, either it's Eighth Rank, or it's not Eighth Rank."

"An either/or question."

"Which one would be true?"

Suke fell into deep thought.

...

Half a day later, Suke raised his head.

There was no frown on his face.

No matter how he looked at it, it seemed to be either/or.

Either Eighth Rank, or non-Eighth Rank.

Could it be that he still had to gamble?

Suke was silent.

If it simply needed a gamble, was it necessary to have these three signs?

Suddenly, Suke looked at the third wooden sign.

If it was true.

Then...

Suke looked at the only passage.

He directly stepped inside.
