Except for Rufus, most of the others had only entered micro or small Mysterious Realms, and Rufus himself had only entered a medium-sized Mysterious Realm on a Mysterious Ship once. Although he had successfully passed through, he had not engaged in any formal combat throughout the process.
Rufus belonged to that category of individuals who had maxed out their diplomatic abilities but whose actual combat power was quite weak. Therefore, when he was accidentally swept into this Mysterious Realm, he took the initiative to make connections with others, hoping to leave the Mysterious Realm safely like the last time.
Just as Rufus was preparing to invite Dong Tianyu to join their team, several beams of light appeared in the sky. As the beams faded, a few newcomers appeared nearby.
Rufus had long noticed that Dong Tianyu had no intention of interacting with him, but had reluctantly pretended not to know and deliberately stayed behind.
