Volume II: The Age of the Monks Chapter 77: The Vanishing Staircase

Wen Peng saw that Wang Xiao turned the spearhead to Li Er, and his heart was suddenly happy, so that Li Er would end up in the same fate as himself, and when he returned to the imperial capital, he would naturally not mention today's events, so his face could be saved.

Although Li Er didn't know what Wen Peng thought, his face was very ugly at this time, he didn't want to kneel down and beg for mercy for Wang Xiao in front of so many younger brothers, but if he was beaten to terminate the perception test, it would inevitably affect the test score and make him unable to raise his head in the family, which Li Er couldn't accept, which was why Wen Peng was so cowardly.

Gritting his teeth, Li Er looked at Wang Xiao and said in a deep voice: "This brother, as long as you let me go, you can mention any benefits you want, I am a disciple of the Li family in the imperial capital, named Li Yu, and a student of Shanhe University in the future." ”

Wang Xiao smiled faintly and said softly: "You have three seconds, if you don't kowtow, I will kill you!" ”

Hearing Wang Xiao's cold words, Wen Peng on the side grinned and said, "Big brother is domineering, it's not my big brother, it's awesome!" ”

Li Yu's face was blue and red, and he said coldly: "A manly man, born between heaven and earth, how can he be depressed and live under people for a long time, let alone kneel." ”

Wang Xiao heard the words and was about to kill Li Yu, but saw Li Yu fall to the ground on his knees, and shouted loudly: "The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, and today Li Yu will meet the eldest brother!" ”

Li Yu's kneeling and shouting made Wang Xiao a little confused, and Wen Peng on the side looked at Li Yu in shock, as if he had re-acquainted himself, and the younger brothers also looked at Li Yu in confusion, their brains buzzing.

Although the little brothers were confused, they were all relieved in their hearts, it was best not to fight, so that they would not have to be tested now, and the score would be a few points more.

Slightly stunned, Wang Xiao showed an interesting smile, looked at Li Yu, and said lightly: "You are a talent, I can vividly understand the meaning of the word bending and stretching today." ”

After speaking, Wang Xiao turned around and walked up the next step, ignoring Wen Peng and Li Yu, the two glanced at each other, got up at the same time, and shouted loudly: "Big brother, wait for us!" ”

The two of them ran upwards with all their might, and the younger brother behind them immediately followed. Soon, Wen Peng and Li Yu ran to Wang Xiao's side out of breath and smiled flatteringly: "Big brother, we don't know what your name is!" ”

Wang Xiao looked sideways at Wen Peng and said with a faint smile: "Do you want to seek revenge on me?" It's okay, don't change your surname, don't change your name, my name is Li Hong! Remember, Li Hong, the Li family of Guanggao City Base, is a seventh-order qualification! ”

"No, no" Wen Peng and Li Yu denied it in unison, and immediately explained: "We just want to know the name of the eldest brother, so that we can know who we are messing with." ”

Wang Xiao glanced at the two of them, smiled playfully, exerted force under his feet, his figure rushed upward, disappeared in front of the two of them in a blink of an eye, and ran towards a higher step.

Wen Peng and Li Yu looked at Wang Xiao's back, and it wasn't until they disappeared that Li Yu put away his smiling face and said with a look of shame and resentment: "Do you think what he said is true or false?" ”

Wen Peng also had a calm look on his face, and said solemnly: "It doesn't matter if it's true or not, but Li Hong must be someone he knows, and there is a high probability that he has an enmity with him. When the time comes..."

Li Yu nodded, gritted his teeth and said: "Today's shame, keep it in mind, and I want him to look good in the future!" ”

Wang Xiao, who continued to climb upward, naturally didn't know that Wen Peng and Li Yu were calculating themselves, but even if they knew, it didn't matter, this kind of gentleman was not qualified to enter Wang Xiao's eyes.

The higher he went, the greater the sense of oppression that Wang Xiao felt brought by the ladder, and he seemed to be locked by a breath and oppressed by a momentum, making every step pay more strength.

There are also a lot fewer candidates around, and the number of candidates who can walk above the 30 steps is significantly reduced, and the steps seem to be much more empty, and basically a figure can only be seen every two or three meters.

Continuing upward, there are fewer and fewer figures around Wang Xiao, and the steps are also getting smaller and narrower, and the whole mountain seems to be getting smaller and smaller as it goes up, like the shape of a pyramid.

When he walked to the fortieth step, Wang Xiao felt like he was walking in water, and he needed strength to cut through the invisible restraint in the air, and he struggled to climb up, looking up, he could still only see the peaks inserted into the blue sky and white clouds, and the end of the ladder was still invisible.

When he reached the fifty steps, Wang Xiao felt like a stream of water in the air, pulling his legs backwards, making it necessary to climb up with more strength, and at the same time, each step stirred up a circle of small invisible ripples.

Looking back, there was a cloud below, and there was no way to see the way from which they came, and all the stairs below disappeared into the white clouds, and there were no figures or voices to be seen below, and everything seemed extremely peaceful.

Standing on the fiftieth step, Wang Xiao remembered a poem in his heart: "I want to go back by the wind, but I am afraid of Qionglou Yuyu, the height is not cold, and I dance to find out the shadow, how it seems to be in the world." ”

It seems that he hasn't walked long and hasn't climbed much, but Wang Xiao can't see the road below, nor can he hear the voices below, as if he has climbed to a high place.

Maybe that's the rule of the ladder! The position is not high, but I feel that I am already in a high position, and the majestic shelf is naturally very high, and I can't see the situation below, and I have lost my original intention to come up.

Occasionally, there are some people walking around, there are teenagers and girls, young men and young women, and there are very few middle-aged men and big sisters with charm, Wang Xiao looked at the scenery all the way and continued to move towards the blue sky and white clouds.

When he reached the seventieth step, there were almost no people on the ladder, Wang Xiao felt that the ladder seemed to have shrunk a lot, and the naked eye could see a ladder next door, looking left and right, only to find that the ladder at this time was less than 100 meters wide.

As far as the eye can see, the eight ladders are already close together, and from the situation of the ladders, Wang Xiao judged that this mountain peak is a pyramid, the wider it is, the more people it can accommodate, and there are only a few people who can accommodate it above.

Looking at the No. 4 ladder where he was, Wang Xiao found that there were only more than 100 people standing on the seventieth step with him, most of them were young men and young men and women, only a few middle-aged men and women, and almost no old people.

Wang Xiao estimated that the situation on the other ladders was similar, after figuring out the situation, Wang Xiao stepped up to the seventy-first step, as soon as he entered, he felt a huge pressure coming, and the strength required for each step increased by half.

What's even more amazing is that Wang Xiao didn't see the steps up, looking around, the seventy-first step is a disc shape, connected to other ladders, looking up is still the peak that can't be seen, but there is no upward step in front of him, and he can't see the steps when he came down.

The pressure around him was like waves, constantly lapping Wang Xiao's body, and it took a lot of strength to stand firm, and at this time, he couldn't find the steps up, so Wang Xiao sat down cross-legged to resist the pressure caused by the pressure of the momentum around him, while waiting for the other candidates to climb to the seventy-first step.

On the seventieth step of the No. 4 ladder, hundreds of candidates witnessed Wang Xiao ascending the seventy-first step, so they tried their best to climb to the seventy-first step.

A middle-aged man, his face flushed, beads of sweat on his forehead, walked with difficulty to step on the seventy-first steps, and before he could be happy, a huge momentum of oppression struck, directly slapped him out and disappeared on the ladder.

When the candidates in the back saw this, they immediately understood that the momentum oppression of the seventy-first order was much greater than that of the seventieth order, and if they didn't pay attention to it, they would be immediately eliminated.

Under the pressure of the huge momentum, the candidates behind stepped on the seventy-first steps one after another after being well prepared, but there were still some candidates who could not withstand the huge pressure brought by the great change in momentum and were ejected.

As more and more candidates arrived at the seventy-first step, Wang Xiao's surroundings became more and more lively, and many candidates gathered together to discuss the disappearing steps.

Feeling the noisy voices, Wang Xiao got up from the ground and looked around, and at this moment, many people appeared on the seventy-first step of the circle-shaped steps, observing and analyzing something together in groups of three or five.

When a young man saw Wang Xiao get up, he immediately walked over and asked, "This brother, I saw that you were one of the first people to appear on the seventy-first steps, can you tell me what you found?" Why can't I find a step up, what the hell is this perception test doing? ”

Looking at the young man wearing Hongxing Erke's clothes in front of him, Wang Xiao shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Like you, I didn't find anything, I only saw that the 8 ladders seemed to be merged together, and all the candidates who could climb the seventy-first step should appear on this step, maybe they will have to wait for everyone to gather before the upward steps will appear!" ”

Hearing Wang Xiao's speculation, the young man nodded, stood with Wang Xiao, and said, "I'm Qin Hao, a person from the Pengcheng base, what about you?" ”

"Wang Xiao, a native of Guanggao City Base" Wang Xiao introduced himself, and then asked: "Have you seen everywhere in the circle, have you found anything, how many people are currently on the seventy-first step?" ”

Qin Hao thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Look at it, it's a look, there's no big discovery, the number of people is almost close to a thousand!" Aside from the fact that the pressure felt was much greater, there was nothing strange about it. ”

After listening to Qin Hao's words, Wang Xiao pondered, among the 70 million candidates, only nearly 1,000 people have reached the seventy-first step, which is about a 1 in 100,000 probability.

If you need a seventh-order qualification or above to come up, then this proportion is too low, which shows that there are still situations that you don't know.

Wang Xiao looked at Qin Hao and asked, "Is it convenient to tell me what level of qualification you have?" ”

Qin Hao glanced at Wang Xiao, pondered for a moment, and said, "Eighth-order qualification, what's the matter?" Could it be that this has something to do with qualifications? ”

Wang Xiao shook his head and said in a deep voice: "I don't know, this is a perception test, the focus should be on understanding, although I don't know what climbing the steps has to do with understanding, but since the test rules are like this, just do it." ”

When Wang Xiao and Qin Hao were discussing, suddenly there was an exclamation from the crowd, and the two looked up, only to see that the white clouds on the mountain peak had dispersed, revealing a towering peak, and the surrounding of the mountain peak was as smooth as a mirror, and there was no way to climb up without steps.

As the white clouds dissipated, the candidates on the seventy-one steps also saw the top of the mountain peak in front of them, and the visual distance was about 100 meters high.

After waiting for a long time, there was no other change in the mountain except for the dissipation of the white clouds around the mountain, and the candidates around couldn't help but discuss it again, not understanding what this mountain peak was about.
