Chapter 580 - Beehive s.p.a.ce
In front of him was a long pa.s.sageway. Klein began to use the system to scan his surroundings.
He discovered that other than the pa.s.sageway, there were dozens of small catacombs nearby.
It was only then that Klein suddenly realized that these catacombs didn"t exist in a single place. They were connected together.
They were like beehives, one after the other.
As long as one of the pathways was opened, the others would be affected.
The most amazing thing was that some of the catacombs did indeed contain rich resources.
However, there were also some dark patches that couldn"t be seen clearly.
Klein guessed that there were definitely other secrets hidden within.
Along the way, Macbeth kept talking about the legend of the mysterious treasure.
"After this mysterious s.p.a.ce was opened, many people came to take risks for the treasure, but there was no one else who could enter this s.p.a.ce and return alive except for me!"
Gray sized up Macbeth curiously. "Is this really not your first time entering this s.p.a.ce?!"
"Of course. I"m different from other adventurers. Apart from being extremely intelligent, I"m also very cautious. Once I discover that I"m unable to deal with the threat ahead, I"ll immediately turn back and look for a way!"
Macbeth discovered that there was a monster hidden in the fog that he was unable to deal with the first time he entered it.
"That was really dangerous. I almost became a meal for the monster. I immediately escaped from this place and gathered the legendary clover before returning to continue my exploration!"
Klein was surprised. "You actually know about clover?"
It turned out that clover was a very mystical plant. It had a total of three leaves...
When these three leaves rotated clockwise, they would create an unimaginable gale. The effect was the same as using a wind-type spell to blow away the fog.
Gray was also somewhat shocked. "You mean that you found clover, blew away the fog in front of you, tried your best to avoid the attack of the octopus monster, and then successfully walked out of the fog?"
Macbeth nodded frantically. "That"s right. Although my attack power is indeed very poor, I can make up for it in other places. First, I lured the octopus monster to other places, and then I climbed down the abyss along the rope."
"Unfortunately, the octopus knew that it had been tricked halfway, and it bit off the rope instead."
Poor Macbeth had fallen into the pool under the abyss just like that, and that was why he had been washed to that position by the pool.
He must have suffered some injuries during the fall and remained unconscious after being washed ash.o.r.e.
He had been unconscious for about four to five days, but it was also thanks to Klein"s help that he recovered.
Only then did Klein realize that there was indeed some logic to Macbeth"s story. This time, Macbeth probably wasn"t lying.
Klein shook his head and said, "How do you know that the legends about the treasure are true? If it"s just a false rumor, and you spent so much effort and effort, what would you do if you didn"t find anything in the end?"
Macbeth shook his head. "It shouldn"t be. There"s no smoke without fire. Moreover, someone has already found this batch of treasure. It"s just that for some reason, they"ve sealed it up again."
Gray curled his lips. This child thought that his IQ was very high.
At this moment, Macbeth had long been blinded by greed and was beginning to be unable to distinguish right from wrong.
If the so-called treasure was something that everyone could easily obtain, then how could there be so many poor people in the world?
This was when a few people heard a tiny movement in front of them. Due to the light, they couldn"t see it clearly.
Everyone had vigilant expressions on their faces.
All the creatures that appeared here were enemies, not friends. It seemed like danger was quietly descending...
However, what Klein didn"t expect was that the movement in front of him seemed to have been made by humans. Furthermore, it was a very weak moan.
His heart stirred. He wondered if it was someone who had entered this s.p.a.ce to explore and had been injured and trapped here.
Without thinking too much, he gave a few instructions before heading off alone.
"I"ll go over first. The two of you take care of me from behind. If there"s any danger, remember to save me!"
Klein didn"t realize that he had unknowingly treated Macbeth as one of his companions.
It was indeed romantic to hand his back to a companion.
As he got closer, Klein realized that there was indeed a figure lying by the side of the tunnel in front of him. It seemed to be seriously injured, and his entire body was trembling slightly.
Klein frowned slightly and quickly went over to check. He discovered that the person curled up in the corner was actually James, who had disappeared previously!
Klein"s heart stirred as he hurriedly shouted, "James, why is it you? Why are you here? What happened?"
Upon hearing Klein"s shout, Gray was shocked as well. He quickly ran over with Macbeth.
The person who had fallen to the ground was indeed James, who had been missing in the fog for a long time.
At this moment, James was covered in wounds. His eyes were tightly shut, and he was already in a coma.
Klein patted him on the cheek and gave him first aid.
James"s injuries were mostly superficial. It seemed like he had fallen from somewhere, resulting in injuries all over his body.
The reason why he remained unconscious was that some of his wounds showed signs of poisoning, as though they were infected.
Thankfully, Klein and Macbeth had medical kits and antidotes on them, so he quickly helped James regain consciousness.
James slowly opened his eyes and looked at everything before him. His heart finally relaxed.
There was nothing in this world that was happier than opening his eyes and seeing a trustworthy teammate.
He reached out and patted Klein"s arm, his voice weak.
"Before I fainted, I was still wondering if I would die here. Would you come and save me? I never expected that my last prayer would actually come true..."
Seeing that James was basically fine, Klein heaved a sigh of relief and began organizing the medical kit.
Klein looked at James and said, "Your body is very weak now. You have been poisoned by a very strange poison. Although this poison isn"t fatal and isn"t difficult to cure, it has drained most of your stamina. You need to rest for a long period of time before you can recover..."
"So, what exactly happened?"
James sniffed and pointed to a cave that had been smashed open.
"After I entered that place, I felt a sharp pain all over my body. Before I could react, I had already fainted..."
According to James, the reason why they were separated in the fog was indeed because they had inadvertently retreated to the side of the abyss.
He lost his footing and fell into the pool, following the current downstream.
