Chapter 149 Escaping the Castle (2) - Speed ​​Increased

It turns out those inverted pyramids were actually spikes that could crush people to death!

The remaining four felt a sudden darkness engulf them, and they found themselves back where they had seen the row of grid springs.

There was a moment of stillness in the air.

The good news is that they weren't eliminated directly; the bad news is that they're back to square one; and the worst news is a single sentence from Ning Shu.

"Um, it seems like time is flowing faster, have you guys noticed?"

The other three looked and agreed; the countdown was indeed a bit fast, but still acceptable.

Cheng Chuan's tone was somewhat heavy: "It seems that we won't die even if we fail before the countdown ends, but the flow of time will accelerate."

"Once the countdown is over, we might really be finished. Everyone needs to be careful from now on and try not to fail."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yi quickly apologized: "Brother Chuan, I'm sorry, I was too careless just now."

Cheng Chuan comforted him, "It's alright, just be careful from now on. Let's go quickly."

They went back to the green wall using the same method as before, but looking at the ceiling, they knew they couldn't just rush over.

Ning Shu looked at the grid-like spring: "Do we need to go up to this? Maybe there's something up there that can help us get across?"

Cheng Chuan thought Ning Shu made sense. If it was a dead end, then the game was unplayable: "I'll go up and take a look."

Everyone else watched as Cheng Chuan used the spring to jump onto the suspended bar, and then Cheng Chuan's voice came from above.

"Two more people need to come up so we can move this box."

Cheng Chuan discovered that there were numbers on the box. It originally displayed the number "3", but when he pushed it, the number changed to "2" and the box didn't move.

He realized that it would probably take three people to move the box, so he told his men.

Without a doubt, it was Wu Yi and Ning Shu who went up. After the three of them worked together to push the box down, they worked together to push the box to the ceiling covered with spikes.

As soon as the box arrived, the spikes fell down. They didn't really hurt the box, but the falling spikes scattered everywhere and still killed the three people following behind the box.

Unsurprisingly, the four of them returned to the starting point, and now time flowed even faster.

Huangwa said nothing, just quietly looked at the three of them; the silence was deafening.

Cheng Chuan coughed lightly: "Well, let's try not to make any more mistakes."

They returned to the same spot, and before jumping onto the long strip, Cheng Chuan said to Huang Wa:

"You'll stand at the end of the long strip and catch the box with your head. That box looks pretty big."

After we come down, the four of us will stand inside together, and then we'll go over together.

Huangwa didn't answer Cheng Chuan; they were already used to it.

The three of them jumped onto the long strip again, just like before, and started pushing the box.

Wu Yi muttered, "Could Huangwa be mute? It doesn't say a word. I wonder if it's even cooperating."

Ning Shu also had this question, but she didn't dare to ask.

Cheng Chuan, on the other hand, is very tolerant of species diversity:

"Maybe the other person just doesn't like to talk; this is a team-based cooperative instance."

Based on previous experiences, the other party must understand the seriousness of the matter and will definitely cooperate.

Ning Shu thought it made sense. Even if the other party didn't care about the lives of others, they should at least care about their own.

The three of them worked together to push the box down, and then quickly jumped down as well, only to find that Huangwa had already caught the box.

The box was actually quite large, big enough to cover four people, and Huangwa caught it with ease, probably because it wasn't very heavy.

The four of them hid under the box and walked toward the passage with spikes. They all heard the spikes hitting the box, but they were not injured.

I was overjoyed; it was just as I thought!

They passed through the passage without incident, and then they saw an even higher wall!

This wasn't over yet. Ning Shu looked at the endless wall and felt a sense of despair. What was even more despairing was the doubled rate at which time was slipping away.

Cheng Chuan also snapped out of his shock: "We need to hurry."

When Wu Yi saw a large number "5" appear above his head, he exclaimed, "Brother Chuan, look, what does that number mean?"

Cheng Chuan looked speechless: You think I would know?

Ning Shu noticed a row of springs in front of him, with two spikes directly above them, positioned in the middle of the row of springs.

She cautioned, "When we jump up, be careful to avoid those two spikes."

Cheng Chuan: "I'll go up and take a look first."

Cheng Chuan jumped up and found a button on the ground. He stepped on it, but there was no reaction. He wondered what the button was supposed to do, when he heard Wu Yi shouting from below.

"Brother Chuan, the number on it has changed to 4."

After hearing this, Cheng Chuan looked up and saw the number floating in mid-air. Sure enough, so they needed to find five such buttons?

Ning Shu's voice came through: "There's a wall down there that's also opened; there's a button inside."

After listening, Cheng Chuan left the button he had stepped on, went to the wall, and said to those below, "It seems we need to find five buttons, step on them, and the numbers will decrease."

Wu Yi: "What's the use of making the number smaller?"

Cheng Chuan: How should I know!

Wu Yi exclaimed in surprise, "Oh no, the number on it has changed back to 5."

Cheng Chuan was startled. He looked up and found that it was indeed the case, and suddenly the number changed back to 4.

Huh? He didn't press the button.

At this moment, Ning Shu spoke up: "How much did the number change? I just stepped on the button."

It turned out that Ning Shu had stepped on the button that had opened the wall earlier.

Cheng Chuan was relieved: "It's back to 4. I see there's another box on that wall in mid-air. I'll go up and take a look. Wu Yi, come up and step on this button."

Wu Yi agreed, jumped up, and stepped on the button.

Cheng Chuan then jumped toward the wall that was suspended in mid-air and discovered that the box was actually a spring, with a button next to it.

He stepped on the button and saw that a wall behind Wu Yi had also opened, with another button inside.

The newly opened wall needed someone to press a button, and at this point, only Huangwa was left.

Cheng Chuan called down, "Huangwa, go up to the wall behind Wu Yi and step on the button."

Huangwa, who had been staring at Ning Shu, was suddenly called upon. He looked up and saw that the number in the air had changed to 3. He then used the spring to jump over to Wu Yi's side.

Wu Yi was still pressing the button, so it went over and pressed the button inside the wall.

Cheng Chuan also pressed his own button and found that the number in the middle had changed to "1", meaning there was still one person missing.

He saw an open space at the highest point opposite him, which was the highest point of the wall.

After thinking for a moment, I released the button I was standing on, jumped over it, and the button in mid-air changed back to 3.

Wu Yi exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Chuan, the number has changed back to 3!"
