Ye Nianmo fumbled around with the stone statue. Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong. His palm clearly felt wiggling. He took out the fire stick that he brought from Shiva's room and brought it closer.

The gray stones were filled with bugs! These bugs were exactly the same color as the stone statue. Moreover, they were smaller and thinner than a piece of wool, and the room was dark, so if one didn't look carefully, they were impossible to see.

He took off a bug and the bug wriggled in his palm. The tentacle on his head came in contact with the soft skin, and it wanted to drill into his palm.

Ye Bo, who was at the side, opened his hand. There was indeed a grey bug attached to his thick palm, but he didn't notice it.

He crushed the bug to death and threw it on the ground. He then checked his surroundings and found that there were some on his pants leg as well. The bug's head had already extended into his skin.

"Ah!" Dong Qing suddenly shouted. He got up and ran towards the stone wall. Ye Nianmo and Ye Bo exchanged a glance and went forward to grab both of his arms.

He forcefully opened his palm. There was indeed a bulging bag on his left palm. Something was squirming inside the bag. The bug that could control nerves had crawled into his palm.

Ye Nianmo took out his knife and cut a circle around the bug in his palm. Blood immediately flowed out, and a grey bug the same color as the statue stuck its head out. Ye Nianmo picked up the bug and threw it on the ground.

Dong Qing's consciousness hadn't recovered yet, so the three people decided to wait for him to wake up before continuing.

"There's the stairs." Ding Yiyi pointed at a simple wooden staircase that stretched from one side of the wall to the other. It didn't seem to have any decorations or traps, it just stood there quietly.

The staircase was about twelve floors wide, and each floor was as wide as the palms of three men. It was unknown what sort of preservation method was used to preserve all of the trees, but the wood was extremely smooth and ice-cold to the touch.

"Ugh …" Dong Qing woke up shakily. He looked around in a daze. "What's wrong?"

Ding Yiyi looked at him with a slightly worried expression. She didn't know what to say to him. However, when he saw her hands dripping with blood, he vaguely guessed something.

He stood up, tore open the hem of his shirt and bandaged himself up. He walked in front of Ye Nianmo and said, "No matter what, thank you."

Ye Nianmo nodded and told Ding Yiyi to come over. Then, he started to walk towards the stairs. Dong Qing followed silently.

He vaguely remembered seeing Ao Yu, dressed in red in the snow, looking at him with an aggrieved expression in her eyes. She cried and said that she had waited so long for him, so long that the seeds in the soil had already sprouted and the children of the birds had grown up and left.

She had been waiting in silence in one place all this time. Then her voice became shrill, like an old nun's prayer.

"Why didn't you think of me? You haven't thought of me for so long!" You said you loved me! But I'm not in your head! I will always look at you, at your hypocritical feelings! "

He clenched his fists, and the veins on his head bulged. He heard a distant call in his ear, "Dong Qing, are you alright?"

"Don't worry about me!" he said angrily, then froze.

Ding Yiyi stood in front of him, because his sudden anger seemed to be a bit confused.

He felt utterly defeated as he walked past her in big strides. He then quickly climbed the stairs to the upper floor. There were almost two stairs and two steps. Soon, he disappeared.

"Dong Qing!" Ding Yiyi shouted, but no one replied to her.

Ye Nianmo and Ye Bo held their handguns tightly. One of them was in front while the other was behind. They protected Ding Yiyi in the middle and walked up cautiously.

When they reached the end of the hall, they saw Dong Qing standing at the end of the stairs, her back facing the sky.

Ding Yiyi was the first to notice that the top floor was different from the other buildings. On the top floor, there were many small holes in the walls, and light shot out from those tiny holes, forming a round pillar of light.

So it was already daytime. She touched her stomach and realized that her mental state had always been under a state of high tension, so her stomach actually hadn't been hungry all this time.

In the center of the light pillars, there was a stone tablet. Several light beams shone onto the stone tablet, and the words on it were very beautiful, bringing with it a sense of medieval romanticism.

Dong Qing's eyes were glued to the words on the stone monument. His body was stiff, unable to move no matter how much he tried.

Ding Yiyi followed behind Ye Nianmo and read the contents on the monument softly.

"Unfortunately, you all have come here. Perhaps many people are still looking left and right, wondering what kind of trap it is. There is indeed a trap here. The biggest one, the one with the most damage."

Ye Nianmo pulled Ding Yiyi behind him and carefully looked around. He did not relax at all. Ye Bo's back was facing him and he was holding a pistol as he looked around.

Ding Yiyi tilted her head and continued, "I have something to tell you. You came here to find the Extreme World, where is there an Extreme World?" Back then, I brought everyone here and plundered this place, turning this place into my vassal state, luring those foolish and rebellious people to this place and then settling them. "

Ding Yiyi could not continue. She turned her head to look at Dong Qing. He was still motionless, his body as stiff as a stone.

She suddenly recalled the words of the masked man, "There is no such thing as a 'blissful world'. The 'blissful world' is just a gimmick for Kaiser to lure those who are hostile towards him."

"Continue." Dong Qing, who was at the side, suddenly spoke up. His lips trembled for a moment before he tightly pursed his lips.

She had to keep reading. "Now, standing here, you will be sent to the Elysian." The conversation ended in a strange way and an arrow was pointed behind the stone monument.

Ding Yiyi walked slowly to the back of the stone statue and read softly, "Despair is the best trap."

Almost at the same time, the light pillar mixed with a bit of impurities, Ye Nianmo quickly pulled Ding Yiyi away. At the place where she was standing, a sharpened piece of wood was inserted into the ground.

"What's going on!" Ding Yiyi was held tightly in her arms, and before she could say anything, she was taken away again. The sound of "shua shua" filled her ears.

Ye Nianmo brought Ding Yiyi with him to hide from the wood that kept rolling in like rain. He saw the sharp wood shooting in through the light pillars and immediately understood the function of those light pillars.

"It's the natives." Dong Qing was also miserably following beside them. His arm was wounded, and blood was flowing down from it. "Those people didn't even want anyone to walk out from the rules once again. Even if they reached the top level, they would still die under these beams of light."

However, if there was no such thing as a world of bliss, why did these people have to let these people leave and never return?

More and more pieces of wood shot out from the circle of light. It was unknown what they used, but their accuracy and power were astonishing. A few of them could temporarily defend themselves by hiding under the stone tablet.

Ye Nianmo knocked off a piece of wood that was shot at Ding Yiyi. He found that it was impossible to dodge the wood that was shot from the side, so he was prepared to forcibly throw it.

Ding Yiyi appeared before him in a flash. His pupils darkened and his body reacted faster than his consciousness. He pressed down on the back of her neck.

Ding Yiyi's arm struck the stone monument and she screamed out in pain. Then, she gritted her teeth and endured the pain. The burning sensation on her arm made her feel extremely uncomfortable and her body felt like it was going to twitch from the impact.

He was completely in a passive state. Even if he could walk to the side of the pillar of light, the pillar of light was already designed so that it could only be entered by wood. The muzzle of the gun couldn't be put inside at all, and even if it was only aimed at the pillar of light, he couldn't see the situation outside.

He and Ye Bo looked at each other. Both of them had the same serious expression. It was indeed difficult to get out today.

Suddenly, a lot less and less wood came out of the pillar of light. Then, they heard a miserable scream. It was the people from their tribe.

"Get out of here." Ye Nianmo quickly pulled Ding Yiyi down the stairs. The top floor was completely sealed off. There was no way to hide or fight back.

The three of them descended to the room with the stone statue of Kong Zi. The room was quiet without any sound. It seemed like a long time had passed since the previous crisis.

"Why isn't there a pillar of light in there? Aren't they worried about people running down there?" Dongqing was breathing heavily, and the desire to live had temporarily lifted him out of his despair.

Ye Nianmo observed the surroundings and replied coldly, "Maybe it's because they didn't think that there would still be people walking down alive."

He was very concerned about that scream. Something must have happened to that group of aboriginals, so they had no choice but to temporarily stop firing.

"Let's go." Dong Qing was the first to walk towards the exit.

"No need to leave." Hearing Ye Nianmo's voice, he turned around and said, "What do you mean?"

Ding Yiyi was always being pulled by Ye Nianmo. She bit her lower lip. Her arm was burning, but she didn't want to tell anyone. Everyone was tired now. She really didn't want to cause trouble for them.

"What's wrong?" Ye Nianmo still felt her pain and looked down at her.

"Nothing." She shook her head and gave him a smile. Because of the angle, she had to look up at him. At that moment, she saw some dirt fall down.

"Look." She pointed to the place where the dirt had fallen.1

Ye Nianmo looked into her eyes and said with a smile, "That's why I said we don't need to leave anymore."

Dong Qing looked at them with a puzzled expression. Ye Bo put away his gun, walked to the side of the mud and started rubbing it, "The dirt is soft, so it shouldn't be far from the ground."

Ye Nianmo nodded. It was indeed like that. He walked to the side of the wall, tapped on one piece of the wall with his pistol and then went to the other.

"So this is an exit?" Dong Qing frowned.

Ding Yiyi also understood. "Dong Qing, out of all the rooms we've been through, this one is the coldest. This proves that the temperature in this room is lower than the others. But this is a tower, how can there be one with the coldest temperature in this room, and one with the coldest temperature?"
