C1291 It Doesn't Seem Logical No Matter How You Think about It
While Liu Lei stood on the spot waiting for Yang Hu, he also observed the state of the others.
Wan Hsingyu and O'Neil also felt the pressure and frowned.
The only ones who could deal with the pressure on the stairs were Qi Tianci and him.
This situation made Liu Lei a little worried. After all, this was only the tenth step, and there was still a long way to go.
It was a bit stressful here, so he could tell that the rest of the journey was going to be difficult.
One had to know that the entire stone staircase had fifty steps, and it was a mystery whether or not everyone would be able to reach it.
However, he couldn't think too much into it now, so he decided to keep going up and then think of a way to deal with it.
After Yang Hu followed them, the group of five continued walking up.
However, because they had to stop and wait for Yang Hu for every step up, their progress was a little slow.
It was like watching a movie at a terrible Internet speed.
Every time, everyone had to stop and wait for him. This made Yang Hu feel especially apologetic and ashamed.
Under this shame, he mustered all his strength and accelerated with all his might.
Even though his face was flushed, it was still quite effective.
At the very least, the team's overall speed had increased significantly, and they quickly arrived at the 25th step.
However, after reaching this point, the entire team's speed slowed down once again.
Because it wasn't just Yang Hu who felt the pressure, even Wan Hsingyu and O'Neil felt the same.
Right now, three of the team members were slower, which naturally affected the team's overall speed.
Liu Lei observed again, and found that O'Neil was under the same pressure as Wan Hsingyu.
This meant that the toughness of the body on the stairs was useless, and everything depended on one's own body.
After the observation, Liu Lei encouraged everyone:
"Let's work harder, we have already walked halfway up the stone stairs."
"If I finish walking through the remaining half, I'll be free."
Everyone had just been struggling with the pressure from the stone stairs, so they had no mood to care about other things.
It wasn't until Liu Lei's words of encouragement came out that they suddenly realized that they had already covered half of the distance.
For a moment, everyone felt as if they had been injected with a shot of booster, and their spirits were instantly filled to the brim.
After conquering half of the journey, would the remaining half be far?
Under the motivation of this sense of accomplishment, everyone mustered their strength to take a step up.
This step meant that they had stepped into the latter half of the journey, and was not far from Destination of Crypt.
However, just as the dust settled, a dozen or so small holes suddenly appeared on the left and right side of the wall.
The appearance of the small hole was too sudden, causing many people to not be able to react.
By the time everyone had reacted, the small hole had already started to shoot concealed weapons.2
The arrows were yellow in color and were shooting at Angele from the left and right.
Everyone quickly responded by either dodging or reaching out to grab him.
Only Liu Lei didn't move. He frowned as he looked at the incoming arrow.
He kept feeling that the power of these arrows seemed to be very weak, as if they were just ordinary arrows.
But how was that possible, in the vicinity of the most dangerous Destination of Crypt, the concealed weapon being shot was actually an ordinary sharp arrow?
No matter how he thought about it, it seemed illogical. That was why Liu Lei felt that something was amiss.
