Slime simulator

Suk and Corvid stood before a cave entrance.

Behind them, Lisfrin and Ling watched the two. "Are you going inside? Should Ling and I find a safe place to wait for you?"

Suk nodded, taking out a spatial ring. "Try to hide yourselves and don't get discovered. There are some things in here you can use."

Lisfrin received the spatial ring, her pupils widening slightly.

This spatial ring contained a large amount of resources!

Was this slime actually so generous?!

Ling ran over, grabbing Suk's trouser leg.

"Kern, please be careful."

Suk hummed in acknowledgment, patting the little monkey's head. "Wait for me to come back."

With that, Suk and Corvid exchanged a glance and entered the cave.

This cave was the entrance to the Mysterious Land.

Once inside, it would be extremely difficult to get out.

At least, in all the time Corvid had observed, no one had ever come out.

...

As Suk entered the cave, he felt as if the world was spinning around him, his entire body rotating.

This sensation lasted for more than ten minutes. The light brightened, and Suk opened his eyes, seeing that he was now in what appeared to be a karst cave.

Corvid was nowhere to be seen.

"Corvid!"

"Corvid!!"

"..."

Suk called out several times, but there was no response.

Teleportation?

Had they been teleported to different locations?!

Suk looked ahead, discovering that the entire karst cave was interconnected with many passages.

Less than a hundred meters away, there was a wooden sign with crooked words written in the common language.

"Find Your Companion"

Seeing these words, Suk understood.

Being teleported to different locations was intentional.

The wooden sign wanted him to find his companion, Corvid.

The first thing he needed to do was determine if the sign was genuine.

Coming to the sign, Suk noticed that there were also words on the back.

"You Only Have Three Days"

Suk looked into the distance, spotting another sign.

It was clearly written on it.

"Or You Will Die"

Coming to the back of this sign, he found no writing.

Suk knew that these signs were not a joke.

This was another way to introduce the rules of this place to him.

There were many passages ahead.

Counting carefully, he found that there were eighteen.

Each passage seemed different.

But upon closer inspection, he could see that each one had subtle differences.

However, Suk did not know what these differences represented.

Hesitating for a moment, Suk randomly entered one of the passages.

As he entered, Suk only felt a gust of wind blowing past him from behind.

Looking back, he discovered that the way he came had disappeared.

Suk was shocked.

"This means that every choice is unique."

"Once you make a mistake, there's no turning back."

Suk calmed himself, searching for a way to break the situation.

The passage was long and narrow, and it didn't seem short.

There were no branching passages on either side, and Suk looked ahead.

"I can only go forward."

After walking for a while, Suk saw a wooden sign.

"Congratulations"

Looking at these three words that left the slime completely baffled, Suk hesitated before continuing forward.

After walking another few kilometers, Suk came to another fork in the road.

This time, the number of forks had become nine.

There was a wooden sign in the front left.

"The Danger Begins"

Suk's heart tightened.

If the wooden sign was giving instructions, then this meant that there would be danger in the choices ahead.

Suk continued to look for other wooden signs.

Soon, Suk saw another wooden sign.

However, this wooden sign was placed on the ground, in a corner.

It was difficult to find without careful searching.

Moreover, in this place, Suk realized that his senses could only extend about a meter away from his body, and could not extend any further.

Everything could only rely on his own observation.

Coming to the fallen wooden sign.

Suk saw that the wooden sign was intact, as if it had been deliberately placed here after being pulled out of the ground.

Suk looked at the writing on it, finding that it was already very blurry, and only a few words could be barely distinguished.

"Don't"

There were only the two words "Don't", and there seemed to be a few words behind it, but they were extremely faint and blurred, making them impossible to identify.

"What does it mean?"

"Don't do what?"

Suk was surprised, and at the same time, a bad premonition arose.

The blurred writing on this wooden sign formed a sharp contrast with the brand-new writing on the wooden sign still stuck in the ground.

Representing that this thing could be erased!

Suk immediately squatted down, trying to rub off the writing on the wooden sign.

But no matter how Suk tried, he couldn't do it.

Releasing skills to bombard the wooden sign.

He found that the wooden sign was also intact.

Suk's eyes flickered slightly.

"Then how did this wooden sign become like this..."

"No!"

Suk looked at the stones on the ground beside him, which had slight signs of abrasion.

"The tool used is wrong!"

Suk immediately took out a stone from the ground and rubbed it on the wooden sign.

As expected, the writing began to fade, and the wooden sign also showed stripes under the action of the stone.

Soon.

The entire wooden sign became clean.

Suk tried to write on it, but found that he couldn't do it either.

"It should be possible to write..."

"Like rubbing it off, the tool I used is wrong..."

Suk stood up and looked at the entire scene.

After looking for a moment, he found a black, coal-like lump in another corner.

This coal ore had distinct edges and corners, and it could be seen at a glance that it was used to scratch something.

Suk picked it up, returned to the wooden sign, and gently scratched it on the corner.

Sure enough, a black line appeared.

Suk's eyes narrowed slightly.

As expected...

Suk picked up the wooden sign, thought for a while, and wrote a few words on it.

"Don't Move"

After writing, Suk saw that there was only a little bit of the coal left in his hand, enough to write at most one more word.

After thinking for a moment, Suk added another word after "Don't Move".

"Don't Move" Suk

After writing, Suk stuck the wooden sign into the ground, together with the wooden sign that read "The Danger Begins".

Then, Suk looked at the nine passages in front of him, and without hesitation, randomly chose one to enter.

...

After entering, Suk saw white bones in the passage.

Coming to the white bones, Suk checked them and found that the time of death was at least several years ago.

The spatial rings on their bodies were gone.

This means that there is still existence ahead!

Continue forward.

Soon, Suk encountered corpses one after another.

These corpses had almost all been dead for a certain amount of time.

When he was about to reach the end, Suk found a fresh corpse.

It looked like he had just died not long ago, and the blood had not yet drained.

On his body, there were more than twenty spatial rings.

These were all the accumulated wealth of the predecessors.

Suk didn't rush to collect them, but looked ahead.

He had not encountered any danger along the way.

Now, this person died here.

Suk looked ahead, maybe...

If he bypassed this person, danger would descend.
