Xiaoyao has lost count of how many stairs he has climbed.

His eyes fell on the front, and the endless staircase sills continued to rise along the mountain road, and the end of the mountain road was hidden by clouds and mist, and it was impossible to see how much was behind it.

The staircase is up to 10 meters wide, and each threshold is a meter large, and there is a difference of meters between the thresholds. On both sides of this mountain road, countless greenery is spread out in the sky. The fragrance of birds and flowers came to his face, and the fragrant air was filled with a cool breath over and over his body.

It's just that.

Xiaoyao's whole body was soaked with sweat.

"Whirring ......"

A large gasp of air poured out of his nose, and a feeling of exhaustion continued to hit him all over his body, making Xiaoyao want to sit down and rest, but because of the task of the system, he had to climb without stopping.

"Ding! Players enter the third level of the Strange Book Test, keep moving at full speed, and finally reach the end of the mountain path to complete the test, and give up to fail the mission. ”

More than once cursed in my heart.

"Perseverance, damn perseverance, climbing until now, I have at least climbed thousands of long ladders, but as far as the clouds and mist can reach, it is still poor and endless, endless, where is the head?"

Looking at the clouds and mist, his eyes were covered by sweat, and drops of sweat continued to flow down his cheeks, and his legs were already numb, as if he was walking repeatedly through instinct.

"The mountain is not high, but if there is a fairy, it is ......"

For some reason, I suddenly remembered this sentence: "I now find that even if there are immortals, this vast mountain peak is enough to make immortals cowardly!" ”

"Climb!"

"Climb!"

There is a belief in my heart that supports it.

Xiaoyao's feet were lifted again and again, and then he stepped forward heavily, and with each step, there would be a large number of water trails penetrating the ground, leaving a puddle of traces.

The back is bent.

The breath is about to run out.

Xiaoyao didn't dare to look at the heights anymore, for fear of seeing the endless clouds and mist, which would affect the belief in his heart.

The Four Strange Books Quest is currently in the third stage, and after the first two rounds of tests, Xiaoyao also has a concept in his heart about this extremely difficult task. He understood that the system could not have made it so easy for him to complete the task. Not to mention the first two rounds of tests, just this heavy test, the system clearly tells itself the completion indicators of the task, and also frankly knows that as long as you persist, there will always be a time to complete, but when you really participate in it, Xiaoyao understands that when a simple thing requires countless efforts to complete, no matter how simple things will become extremely difficult.

Just like in reality.

A husband and wife are extremely affectionate in their marriage, and the husband takes care of his wife meticulously, as long as others can think of it, it will always appear in him. But one is good, one month is good, a year is easy, and what about a lifetime?

No one dares to say that they can last a lifetime.

Xiaoyao rejoiced: "Fortunately, I don't need to think about anything, just crawl, keep climbing!" ”

One day.

January.

year.

He had forgotten the concept of time, how much sweat had been shed, how many traces had been left behind, and he had no heart to pay attention to it, his eyes had already blurred, and the exhaustion of body and mind made him confused. Only the persistent belief in his heart continues to support him and encourage him. From time to time, his mind thought of the past scenes, thinking about his unfinished business, thinking about the powerful enemies he would face in the future, all of which turned into a source of motivation for his persistence.

"If I can't even overcome the test in front of me, then how can I talk about revenge?"

When faith becomes faith in the heart.

Xiaoyao found that his body was inexplicably relaxed a little, and he seemed to have a little more strength.

Suddenly.

He raised his head and saw a house swaying in the clouds and smoke on the top of the mountain, looming in the mist, and then a crisp piano sound was gently blowing into his ears from the top of the mountain along the wind.

"Someone!"

was stunned for a moment, and then a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.

I don't know how much time has passed, and I have forgotten it, but at this moment, he suddenly found that when he saw a faint scene in the clouds and mist on the top of the mountain, and listened to the crisp sound of the piano, he felt extremely excited. It was the joy of seeing that the test was about to be completed, and the excitement that suddenly erupted in the endless years of climbing.

"It's a pleasure to have friends from afar......"

A deep man's voice swayed down from the top of the mountain, and he was a little puzzled, this voice seemed to be made by a middle-aged man, and it seemed to be said by an old man who had gone through vicissitudes. But the words were clear, and the cool breeze blew through his ears, which lifted his spirits. He didn't stop, and strode along with his feet.

Step by step.

Xiaoyao unknowingly crossed a distance of thousands of meters.

He raised his head, the top of the mountain was still faintly blurred, and he couldn't see the shortening of the distance, and the faint sound of reading aloud was still ringing in his ears.

"How so?! It seems so close, why did I climb so far and still not shorten the distance between us? Xiaoyao was full of suspicion in his heart.

"Again!"

"It's coming soon!"

Xiaoyao said in his heart, he didn't dare to look at it anymore, and he was determined to climb.

Sweat continued to flow, and Xiaoyao only felt the excitement and joy that the test was about to be completed, because there was no line of sight, and he didn't feel that the distance between them had not been shortened much.

And a long time passed.

Xiaoyao only felt that he was powerless.

He looked up again, and at this glance, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then a thick powerlessness surged out from all over his body, making his feet seem to be covered with heavy lead.

"This ...... How is this possible! Why, he's still so far away from me?!!! ”

The powerlessness accumulated over the years swept out frantically at this moment, and Xiaoyao slammed his hands on the ground, allowing the wound to burst open and blood flowing. His eyes were fixed on the end of the mountain road, listening to the sound of recitation. At this moment, it was as if a belief in his heart was about to be shattered.

Originally.

When he saw the looming summit, his heart was filled with hope.

But as he continued to advance, he found that the time in front of him was still blurry, and he couldn't help but feel powerless in his heart.

"Why!"

"Why!"

He froze in place, his mind full of complexities.

He thought quickly in his heart, trying to find the solution from it, and suddenly a spiritual light flashed from his heart: "Yes, the system prompts him to tell himself frankly, keep climbing!" And maybe what is in front of you is the content of this test, if you are confused by the illusion in front of you, then you have lost the faith in your heart, and at that moment, everything will be empty. ”

"Yes!"

"Exactly!"

Xiaoyao realized in his heart, and the depression on his face was swept away.

He raised his head again and looked at the cloud on the top of the mountain, and all the distractions that had arisen before disappeared at this time, and they were no longer affected in the slightest.

syllable

The footsteps were taken again, with indomitable firmness, and stepped out.

This step.

Xiaoyao only felt that everything in front of him had undergone completely different changes, looking at the mountains in front of him, the trees were not trees, and the faintly audible recitation became a passing cloud.

One step out.

The endless staircase distorts, revealing a beautiful landscape.

Xiaoyao was stunned.

Looking at the authentic mountain top that he had hoped for before, looking around at the familiar scene, looking at an old man playing the piano, his eyes were slightly open, smiling at himself, and the bursts of recitation were extremely clear in his ears, and he was a little stunned for a while.

"Ding! Players are free from external objects, adhere to their hearts, perseverance comes from the heart, and successfully complete the third test of the strange book, and the player is specially rewarded with the surname of free and free surname! ”
