C1287 We Have Two Options

O'Neil walked up the stone stairs. Liu Lei and the rest were all paying attention to him.

This scene was similar to what happened in the tunnel, it was O'Neil who did the experiment.

This was probably the reason why O'Neil was rushing to climb the stone stairs. He wanted to earn back the face he lost before.

This was because when he had stepped onto the stone stairs, he felt that it was not a big deal as the pressure was very ordinary.

He felt that he could easily overcome this pressure and show off in front of everyone.

However, the reality was different from what he had imagined.

When he stepped onto the second step, he instantly felt the pressure on him increase.

He frowned, but was still unwilling to give up. He clenched his teeth as he stepped onto the third stone staircase.

The pressure immediately increased again, and the feeling of increase was very clear.

If he were to continue like this, he would probably die sooner or later.

But for O'Neil, how could he turn around and leave?

If he were to turn around, what was the difference between admitting defeat and doing so?

He was not willing to admit defeat, so he grit his teeth and went up the fourth step.

Seeing this, how could Liu Lei not know that his guess had already been verified? It was just that O'Neil refused to come down due to the lack of face.

Thus, he ordered, "O'Neil, come down."

"Right now, we are not in a hurry to go up. We need to plan things out before we make a move."

Liu Lei's order was equivalent to giving O'Neil a way out.

Since O'Neil knew he might not be able to last much longer, how could he not?

Anyway, he came down here to carry out the orders of his boss, it wasn't shameful at all.

Thus, O'Neil consoled himself and returned to the group below.

"Boss, you're right. The higher we go, the greater the pressure."

"Thankfully, that pressure is nothing to me!"

O'Neil patted his chest with a relaxed look on his face.

Liu Lei felt a little funny. This guy really cared about face.

Even if he were to come down, he had to act tough. He had to show that he was doing it because of the orders, not because of the increasing pressure.

However, it was only the fourth step, so the pressure shouldn't be too great. Thus, he decided not to expose O'Neil anymore.

"Everyone should know what the situation is now, right?"

"Right now we have two choices. One is to directly walk up under the pressure, and the other is to find another way to solve the problem."

"It might be beneficial for us to push against the pressure. We can temper our muscles and bones to condense energy."

"On the other hand, finding other methods to break it would save us stamina and energy, and allow us to maintain our peak state."

"There are two paths. Which one do you think is the best?"2

Liu Lei directly threw this question to Wan Hsingyu and the others.

This was because he felt that there was not much of a problem, so he didn't mind choosing any of them.

In this situation, there was no need for him to make a decision directly.

Wan Hsingyu and the rest started to think. In the end, Yang Hu spoke first and said with some hesitation.

"Mr. Liu..." "I feel like we can first find another way to break it. If it doesn't work, then we'll just have to bear the pressure and go up …"

It was understandable that Yang Hu had such an opinion.

After all, his cultivation was the lowest, and he might not succeed if he were to withstand the pressure.

If he couldn't hold on in the middle of the journey, it would be troublesome.

The other three looked at Yang Hu and also nodded in agreement.

This could also be considered as taking care of Yang Hu, the person with the weakest cultivation level.
