Chapter 2162 The Real Beginning
"Master, I... I can hold on for a while longer. Let me help you on the road ahead."
Just as Matthew was about to resolutely step onto the steps full of unknowns and dangers, Naro, who had been squatting quietly on his shoulder, resisted his fatigue and took the initiative to speak.
There was a hint of stubbornness and determination in its childish voice. Although it was very tired, its little mouth was slightly open and it was breathing heavily, but its eyes revealed its determination not to retreat.
Matthew turned his head and looked at Naro, with a touch of concern and emotion in his eyes.
He nodded gently, with a hint of gratitude and relief in his voice: "Okay, then I'll work hard for you, Naro."
In this environment, he knew how important Naro's help was to him.
If it weren't for the magical pink glow released by Naro, he would probably still be struggling to move forward on the road below, suppressed by the heavy gravity and unable to move.
Of course, all this is to accumulate energy for himself later.
When Matthew took a cautious step and stepped onto the stairs, a stronger and more ferocious gravity pressure than before instantly attacked him like a surging tide.
This force seemed to have substance, hitting him hard, making him almost lose his balance, and his body shook involuntarily.
At this time, the pink glow covering him was like a lone boat in the stormy waves, shaking violently under the pressure of this powerful gravity.
The originally soft and stable light now flickered, as if it could be completely dispelled by this violent force at any time and disappear without a trace.
Seeing this, Na Luo's eyes flashed with anxiety. It opened its mouth without hesitation, and a new pink glow gushed out instantly, accurately covering the originally shaky glow, making it glow with a stable and soft light again.
Na Luo's body trembled slightly, and it was obvious that this action consumed a lot of its physical strength.
Seeing this, Matthew's eyes condensed, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.
He gritted his teeth, bent his legs slightly, and after accumulating strength, he strode forward.
Every step he took was accompanied by a heavy muffled sound, as if the steps under his feet were under great pressure.
Compared with the skinny old man, Matthew's speed was particularly amazing.
It took the skinny old man twenty breaths to walk across a staircase, and each step seemed extremely difficult, as if he had exhausted all his strength.
But with the help of Na Luo's pink glow, Matthew only took two breaths at this moment, and he left the step lightly like a ghost and quickly stepped onto another step.
Under the cover of the pink glow, Matthew's figure turned into a blurred shadow, moving quickly upwards.
He had only one belief in his heart, that is, to break through these obstacles as soon as possible and reach the top.
His footsteps did not stop at all, and he climbed dozens of steps in a row, and each step was full of strength and determination.
"Eighty-one..."
Matthew silently counted the number of steps he had climbed in his heart. As the number continued to increase, the tension in his heart became stronger.
When his foot stepped on the eighty-first step.
Suddenly, the pink glow covering his body made a heart-pounding "squeaking" sound, as if it was a painful groan under the heavy burden.
This sound was particularly harsh in the silent environment, and Matthew's heart sank suddenly.
He looked down at Na Luo, and saw that Na Luo's little face had turned pale, beads of sweat kept rolling down his forehead, and his body was trembling slightly.
Obviously, the continuous release of such a powerful pink glow has already made Na Luo reach his limit.
But even so, Na Luo still clenched his teeth tightly, desperately maintaining the stability of the glow and preventing it from dissipating.
Matthew felt a little distressed and reluctant, but he also understood that at this moment they had no way out.
If they could not move forward, all the efforts they had made before would be in vain.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, while thinking about the countermeasures in his mind.
He knew that this moment was a crucial moment. If he wanted to find a way to get out of the predicament, he had to make himself more calm!
When he tried to move from the 81st step to the 82nd step, the heavy gravity seemed to have turned into an invisible barrier, blocking his steps.
Every bit of power output was like fighting against a towering mountain. He tried his best and spent a long time of five breaths before he completed this step with difficulty.
As he climbed up step by step, the pressure continued to increase.
When he finally stepped on the 95th step panting, the pink glow that had been resisting the gravity pressure for him and Na Luo finally reached its limit and made a crisp shattering sound, like glass breaking, and shattered, turning into countless flashing light points and dissipating in the air.
Almost at the same moment, Naro's small body shook violently, and he felt a black screen in front of his eyes. His already exhausted body could no longer bear the huge pressure, and he shook violently several times involuntarily.
Then, his eyes rolled back and he fainted, and his small body fell limply to the side.
At the critical moment when the pink glow shattered, Matthew's body suddenly shone with a dazzling purple light.
This light was like a bright star in the night sky, instantly illuminating a small area around him.
This was the protective spiritual light released by Matthew. Although this spiritual light could not completely resist such a strong gravity pressure, it could at least share some of the pressure for him, so that he would not be instantly crushed by this terrifying force.
Matthew's eyes quickly turned to the unconscious Na Luo, looking at its pale little face and weak appearance, he could not help but feel a surge of pain and pity in his heart.
Along the way, Na Luo always stayed by his side, never left him, and lent a hand many times at critical moments to help him out of danger.
Now, it fell into a coma due to excessive consumption of mana, which made Matthew feel extremely guilty and distressed.
However, the situation at the moment was extremely urgent, and he could not afford to have too much time to grieve and delay.
Matthew carefully stretched out his hand and waved it gently towards Na Luo. A soft light flashed, and Na Luo's body was put into the Qinglong bracelet he carried with him.
The Qinglong bracelet was full of spiritual energy and the environment was stable.
Na Luo could rest and recuperate in it without any interference and danger from the outside world until he recovered.
At this point, Matthew knew clearly that no one could lend a helping hand to him.
The road ahead was full of unknowns and dangers, and he could only rely on himself to walk up tenaciously.
Without Na Luo's help and the protection of the pink glow, the difficulties he would face would be unimaginable.
