“Wait!” Qiao Mu grabbed onto Liang Qingqing’s hand and said with a shake of her head, “Watch a bit longer!”
Liang Qingqing had originally planned to ask what she was watching when she heard a horrific scream come from up above. Two human silhouettes were plummeting rapidly.
With a boom, this promptly caused dust to fly everywhere.
Uh…
Liang Qingqing blinked her eyes. Those old brothers who had charged up the staircase high-spiritedly earlier were looking like flipped ground beetles now.
“Are you guys fine,” Liang Qingqing couldn’t help inquiring.
“Don’t ask, Junior Sister Liang.” Situ Yi waved his folding fan as he showed an unrestrained smile. “From the looks of it, they’ve been knocked out.”
“Let’s go.” Qiao Mu was finally at ease. Even if they couldn’t ascend the staircase and got swept down, the worst thing that could happen to them was getting knocked unconscious. There was no life-threatening danger.
“What exactly is at the top of these heaven-ascension stairs,” Liang Qingqing asked curiously.
Soon, their party had flitted over to the first step of the staircase.
Qiao Mu looked back at her family and nodded to them. Under her family’s expectant gazes, she easily leapt up onto the first step of the heaven-ascension stairs.
However, her figure vanished like fog in front of everyone’s eyes after getting onto the staircase.
Moreover, Liang Qingqing and the others had clearly been right behind her earlier, but she couldn’t see any of them now.
She was the only one left on this ladder that stretched on endlessly to heaven.
She stood at the foot of the staircase and looked up above at the blue sky and white clouds. She was in a happy mood as she started a mad dash up the staircase.
So what if it was the heaven-ascension stairs?
Could it be that she, Qiao Mu, could not conquer such a minor heaven-ascension stairs?
“Roar!” A roar so thunderous it was enough to shake her off suddenly came from the top of the staircase.
Even so, Qiao Mu was not affected in the slightest, instead rapidly flitting forward while ignoring the roar coming from the depths of the fog.
It was only the heaven-ascension stairs. It wasn’t an expedition to scale a mountain of swords or plunge into a frying pot. What was there to be scared of on this seamless journey?
Qiao Mu pursed her petite lips as she continued climbing upward while keeping track of the number of steps.
She had already reached 2,700 something before she knew it.
If someone could see her right now, they would certainly be flabbergasted.
They couldn’t understand how this person could climb the heaven-ascension stairs at such an inhuman speed…
At the same time, at a distance very far away from her.
Situ Yi had climbed up to the 993rd step.
Wei Nanfeng and Baili Xi had reached 700 something, while Liang Qingqing was only on 600 something…
Yu Xiu and the others had more or less also made it to the 800th something step.
The speed of a normal person simply… could not be compared to the little fellow’s.
However, Miss Qiao was unaware of the situation. She merely just kept darting upwards. The closer she got to the top of the staircase, the louder the roars of the beasts.
Suddenly, a black bear scurried down from the top of the heaven-ascension stairs.
Qiao Mu quickly jumped up and pummeled the black bear’s left eye with her fist.
She subsequently gave it a kick, which caused that black bear to roll tragically down the staircase.
Situ Yi, who was currently standing at the 1001st step, took a deep breath. He then turned to take a look at whatever that thing was that had rolled past him.
Even though he found it a bit strange, he did not stop his climb.
*Boom!!*
“It’s happened, it’s happened. Someone fell down!” Someone blustered in schadenfreude.
When the peanut gallery at the foot of the staircase finally made out the subject in question…
They saw that it was not one of the people who had gone up just now but a black bear that was jumping out and roaring at them…
F*ck! Everyone pissed their pants in terror as they scattered like birds and beasts…
