Chapter 896 The Mysterious Cave

For the next half an hour, Zachary killed a few premium stage martial beasts that blocked his way. He was on the right path this time, no longer returning to his original spot. Instead, he had entered another path.

'I should place a mark here before I go any further,' he thought as he made a mark on the wall and continued to move forward.

Sadly, he was back in his original spot yet again. Since he'd marked the place he'd just taken, he went in a different direction this time around.

After several attempts, Zachary found himself at the center of the cave. Right in front of him was a large cave hall, with strangely colored stalactites hanging down. Besides them was a small pool of clean water.

He didn't rush forward. Instead, he went to the pool and took a few sips of water. Then he sat down to the side and asked Mimi, "Mimi, did you find out the rules of the illusionary array here?"

"The data you collected is being analyzed. It is almost ready," Mimi replied.

"Then I'll wait until you finish the analysis or I will end up taking the wrong path again," Zachary said as he closed his eyes to rest. He was not in any hurry to keep going.

Not long after, he heard a rush of footsteps. He immediately opened his eyes and saw a delicate figure appear in another passage not far away. It was Alisa.

Soon, another two figures appeared after her, but they didn't look like they were her companions.

"Why are you still following me?" Alisa looked back at the two top Imperial Level warriors from the Canopy Kingdom.

"Who said we were following you? We are just on the same path as you," one of them said shamelessly.

"What do you want?" Alisa asked coldly.

"We don't want anything!" another man said with a sinister smile.

Alisa couldn't risk making a wrong move with their strength combined. She knew they were after her and didn't want to be at a disadvantage. They wanted to corner her and prevent her from leaving the cave.

Just as Alisa was trying to come up with a plan to deal with them, she heard hearty laughter. "Alisa, you are as popular as alw

me, Kemp?" Zachary invited him.

"Don't try to fool me. I am not buying it." Kemp didn't believe Zachary's words. He knew it was a trap.

"I understand if you don't believe me. But why don't we walk for a while? You'll believe it then." Zachary walked straight without looking back.

Staring at Zachary's back, Kemp's eyes darkened. However, if he couldn't get out of the cave, there was no hope for him to reach the peak. With no other choice, he finally followed Zachary.

Soon, he realized that Zachary had been telling the truth. After walking for an hour, he wasn't back in his original spot. Everything was going well.

"Did you really find out everything about this cave?" Kemp couldn't help but ask Zachary.

"Of course. Why are you still asking after you've followed me for so long?" Zachary replied.

"You don't have to show me the way in person. Just tell me how to get out of the cave," Kemp said acidly.

"But why not go out together?" Zachary asked.

"I'm faster. I'm sure I'll be the first one to get out of the cave if you tell me how," Kemp said, coming up with an excuse.

"That sounds good. Okay, I'll tell you. Listen carefully..." Zachary gave Kemp the instructions to get out.

Once Kemp had gotten it all, he sneered, "I won't wait for you now." He then turned into a shadow and disappeared.

Zachary drew an even colder smile after seeing him leave.
