As the bell rang, he seemed to see tiny ripples slowly spreading through the air.
The sound of the bell echoed in the air, lingering for a long time, inspiring awe in all who heard it.
Immediately afterwards, another oppressive aura descended from the sky and landed on Ye Li.
"Thump~"
A series of heavy footsteps came from the side.
Ye Li hadn't turned to look yet.
A pair of hands grabbed his arm again.
"Hehe, I'll join in!"
Xia Mu said with a smile.
His face appeared even paler under this oppressive aura, and a fine layer of sweat even seeped from his forehead.
"Keep pretending!"
Ye Li squinted and glanced at Xia Mu.
With acting skills like that, it's a waste that she's not in the entertainment industry.
"You keep going, I'm going up first."
Ye Li said something casually, then unceremoniously pushed Xia Mu's hand away, strode forward, and walked away.
"Thump!"
"Thump!"
"Thump!"
"......"
The bells rang continuously.
As Ye Li climbed upwards step by step,
The descending pressure grew stronger and stronger.
It was as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on him.
It made it difficult for him to breathe.
The bells rang three hundred and thirty-three times in succession.
Ye Li was already drenched in sweat.
I looked up with difficulty.
There are still two-thirds of the steps to go before reaching the palace.
"Phew~"
Ye Li let out a long breath.
I tried to calm the restless energy within me.
Just then, he heard Xia Mu's voice from behind: "Brother Ye Li, slow down, save your energy!"
Xia Mu's voice sounded exceptionally clear in the empty space.
Ye Li turned his gaze behind him, his pupils suddenly contracting.
This guy actually caught up with us.
Take a step forward.
They also arrived at his floor.
Then, he plopped down on the steps and began to pant heavily.
"I'm exhausted... If this keeps up, I'll either die in the checkpoints below or on these steps," Xia Mu complained, panting heavily.
After saying that, he simply leaned against the steps, took out a bottle of mineral water from his spatial ring, and drank it all in one gulp.
After finishing the bottle, he seemed unsatisfied and took out another bottle from his spatial ring to continue drinking.
Do you want some?
Xia Mu waved the empty bottle in front of Ye Li.
Ye Li glanced at the empty bottle, then looked at Xia Mu.
He took out a bottle of mineral water from his spatial ring, unscrewed the cap, and tilted his head back to drink.
"It's almost evening, let's take a break, have some dinner, and get a good night's rest. We can go back to work tomorrow," Xia Mu suggested.
Ye Li put away the mineral water bottle and glanced at the sun on the horizon.
It was nearing dusk; the sun was setting and night was about to fall.
Only the last rays of sunlight remained, like a golden veil gently covering the clouds.
Xia Mu took out a barbecue grill from his spatial ring and placed it on the steps. He then took out a few pieces of snow pork and asked, "Shall we continue barbecuing tonight?"
However, Ye Li seemed rather uninterested, smacking his lips a few times.
After eating barbecue for two nights in a row, I really can't eat anymore.
"You eat, I'll just eat something else."
As he spoke, he took out a Burger King family bucket from his spatial ring and started eating.
Xia Mu licked his lips and said, "Tsk tsk, it's all junk food. It's not as healthy and nutritious as barbecue."
Ye Li smiled upon hearing Xia Mu's words and did not refute them.
He took another beef burger from the bucket, handed it to Xia Mu, and asked, "Want some? It tastes pretty good."
