Chapter 292 Stairway to the Exit

Jiang Fan did not hesitate to directly take out some tools from his backpack for the two girls to use.

After Zhou Niannian and Dai Xiaomei put on their gloves, Yao immediately jumped up.

Yao dropped the vines and then let everyone climb up.

With the experience gained, Zhou Niannian and Dai Xiaomei were not as slow, and their actions were much faster.

In less than a few minutes, the group successfully ascended to the next level.

As they walked onto the upper level, what greeted them was an endlessly extending staircase.

The spiral staircase led to the other side of the pyramid.

And this staircase looked at least a hundred levels high.

If they wanted to climb up, it would probably take a considerable amount of time.

"No way, how is this like fake?"

Seeing this, Zhou Niannian completely collapsed. Although she had rested for a day and felt her stamina was full, when she saw this structure, she immediately felt exhausted again.

This height was no joke.

For an ordinary person, climbing such a high floor would be very strenuous, let alone Zhou Niannian, who was just a frail little girl.

Dai Xiaomei was fine. Although she also felt the staircase was very high, she knew that the dinosaur factor in her body had already taken effect, making her stamina incredibly strong.

"There's no other way, just bear with it. If you get tired halfway, you can sit and rest. We can only climb up now, look at the small room behind us."

As Jiang Fan spoke, everyone turned to look at the small opening they had just come from.

A faint light was already emanating from outside the small opening. It was clear that after they ascended to this opening, the partition of the small room would return to the desert.

And the hole beneath their feet also slowly closed as they successfully landed on the second level.

Seeing this, Zhou Niannian was extremely helpless. Now she could only move forward, or she would have to wait for death here.

"Alright then, since that's the case, let's go up."

Zhou Niannian knew she couldn't delay any longer. She took a deep breath and walked at the forefront of the group.

Jiang Fan and the others quickly followed, soon moving ahead of Zhou Niannian.

However, Zhou Niannian did not fall behind. She seemed to have been injected with adrenaline and desperately climbed upwards, as if the faster she finished the staircase, the easier it would be.

"Don't go too fast. If you go too fast, you'll consume too much energy. You'll know how tired you'll be halfway up."

Hearing this, Zhou Niannian did not back down. Instead, she looked at everyone smugly and said.

"I won't! This is called a strong physique and good health. How can a mere staircase defeat me, Zhou Niannian?"

Hearing this, Jiang Fan could only shake his head helplessly, because he knew what Zhou Niannian would encounter next.

If nothing unexpected happened, Zhou Niannian would soon suffer from extreme fatigue, and without stopping to drink water, she would get a leg cramp and then cry out in pain halfway.

However, Jiang Fan did not step forward to stop her. After all, seeing her so passionate, if he tried to stop her now, Zhou Niannian probably wouldn't believe him. It was better to let her learn from her own experience.

The viewers watching this scene were also full of admiration.

"Oh my god, Sister Zhou's stamina is amazing! Whoever marries my Sister Zhou will be happy in the future."

"Isn't that obvious? My Sister Zhou has always been valiant and brave, even though she cried just now."

"Stop talking, otherwise Sister Zhou will be so angry when she sees the comments that she'll cry again."

"But this staircase is truly terrifying. If I even glanced at it, I'd feel like I could never climb it in my life. To think that Sister Zhou still has to go up, she's too pathetic."

"Do you really think Sister Zhou is like you? My Sister Zhou always faces difficulties head-on, unlike us."

"..."

Just as the commentators in the comment section had said, Zhou Niannian was full of spirit and persevered for nearly ten minutes.

Jiang Fan slowly checked the time, then said with a faint smile.

"It's about time. Yao, remember to watch Zhou Niannian. Don't let her fall."

After saying this, Yao also smiled faintly, seemingly fully understanding what Jiang Fan meant.

As expected, after walking for a few more minutes, Zhou Niannian's leg suddenly went weak, and she almost fell on the staircase. Fortunately, Jiang Fan quickly rushed forward, caught Zhou Niannian, and helped her up.

If she had rolled down this staircase, it would have been fatal. She might not have stopped for several minutes, and the length and height of the staircase were incredible.

Like a story told in a movie.

Zhou Niannian was not moved to tears by Jiang Fan's action. Instead, due to the pain in her leg, she hugged her thigh and shed a few tears of defeat.

"I told you your legs wouldn't be able to take it, but you just didn't believe me."

Jiang Fan showed no signs of being flustered or panicked. He took out a bottle of water from his backpack, handed it to Zhou Niannian, and gently patted her thigh with his hands.

Only in this way could her leg cramps be relieved.

"You guys go ahead. Don't let us slow down the progress. I'll catch up with you with Zhou Niannian later."

Zhou Niannian had no energy to think about catching up now. Her leg hurt so much that she couldn't believe it.

"What do I do? Jiang Fan, I feel like my legs are gone. Save me quickly, am I going to die?"

Hearing this, Jiang Fan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

He knew Zhou Niannian would be in unbearable pain, but he didn't expect her to have already thought about her own funeral arrangements.

"Don't worry, it's just a leg cramp. It's not as exaggerated as you think."

"Once you recover, you can just climb slowly. If you climb at your current pace, it's strange if your legs don't cramp."

Hearing Jiang Fan's words, Zhou Niannian looked wronged.

With red eyes, she looked at Jiang Fan.

"Who could have known that my leg would cramp while climbing? I thought I could just keep climbing to the top like this."

Jiang Fan was quite speechless upon hearing this.
