Chapter 2166 Ten Steps

In this mysterious and quiet space, the strange atmosphere is like an invisible net, tightly covering everything.

Matthew, whose whole body is tightly covered by a layer of yellow mist that seems to be substantial, walks slowly and unwaveringly towards the last dozens of steps above, step by step, under the gaze of the skinny old man who is full of shock and disbelief.

On the steps, every step seems to carry a heavy weight.

And the skinny old man seems to be fixed at this moment, just standing there blankly, watching Matthew's gradually receding back without blinking.

From the depths of his turbid eyes, like a deep pool, a very obvious anxious look can be captured.

Obviously, from the beginning of this contest, he seriously underestimated Matthew's strength and means.

Now, Matthew has seized the initiative in this competition and is far ahead of him.

It is absolutely impossible to say that he is not anxious at this moment.

However, the development of things is just as Matthew had guessed before.

Every time this skinny old man wanted to take another step to climb up, he needed to accumulate enough energy in his body to achieve it.

At this moment, because he had already used up all the energy in his body, the energy in his body was still insufficient, and he could not rush to the top as he wished.

Originally, according to the skinny old man's plan, he intended to walk up slowly and steadily step by step.

After all, the powerful and almost terrifying gravity suppression here also had a great impact on his old bones.

If he moved quickly rashly, his body would not be able to withstand the huge pressure at all, and he would probably fall down halfway, resulting in failure.

However, the appearance of Matthew and the various wonderful methods he used completely disrupted the skinny old man's carefully planned plan.

In fact, he had never told Matthew a crucial thing.

There is a very special rule in the gravity restriction here.

If only one person climbs up alone, he will bear all the pressure from the gravity restriction, which is enough to deter any strong person.

If two people climb at the same time, the gravity suppression will magically disperse part of it to the other person, so that the pressure on both people will be relatively reduced, and the difficulty of climbing will be reduced accordingly.

This is also the fundamental reason why he used the extremely precious Hua Shen Dan to lure Matthew to come up together.

Otherwise, with his selfish character, how could he willingly share the rare treasures that may exist on it with others?

But now, the progress of things has completely gone out of his control, far beyond his previous expectations.

Especially at this critical moment, Matthew has already led him by a considerable distance.

Moreover, his heart is full of worries and doubts. He doesn't know whether Matthew has other more amazing means hidden next, which can continue to resist the increasingly powerful gravity suppression, so as to successfully reach the top and take all the treasures for himself.

His eyes flickered, and he was secretly thinking about various countermeasures.

On the one hand, he was eagerly waiting for the accumulation of energy in his body, hoping to recover his mobility as soon as possible and catch up with Matthew.

On the other hand, he was also thinking about whether to take some other means to interfere with Matthew's progress. Even if it was at the risk of both sides being hurt, he would never be willing to watch Matthew take all the benefits.

Surrounded by yellow mist, Matthew climbed the steps with difficulty.

Each step was extremely heavy, and his body trembled slightly under the pressure of gravity. As Matthew approached the top step by step, the pressure around him continued to increase, and the yellow mist seemed to become thinner, as if it was squeezed out bit by bit by this powerful gravity.

The skinny old man was still waiting anxiously below, his fists clenched, his nails deeply embedded in his palms, and his anxiety became more and more intense.

Finally, the skinny old man could not hold back his anxiety.

Before the energy in his body was fully accumulated, he decided to take a risk.

At this moment, Matthew had already walked to a place with only ten steps left to the top.

The yellow mist on his body, which was originally as thick as substance, became extremely thin at this moment.

The gravity suppression force exerted here was several times stronger than that below.

Even with the thin yellow mist trying to resist, Matthew could still deeply feel the huge pressure from the terrifying gravity.

"There are only the last ten steps left... It seems that there is no choice but to use that method next."

Matthew stood steadily on the steps, staring at the front, muttering to himself.

After saying that, he seemed to suddenly remember something, turned his head quickly, and looked behind him.

I saw that the skinny old man was gritting his teeth and trying his best to rush towards the direction where he was.

However, due to the influence of this terrifying gravity, his forward speed was shockingly slow.

At this moment, the old man, who looked as if he would fall down if the wind blew, suddenly seemed to have a telepathic connection and keenly sensed the sharp gaze from Matthew above. Without any hesitation, the old man suddenly opened his throat and shouted with all his strength.

"Daoyou Ma! You must remember this in your heart! Only if the two of us work together and successfully reach this place above, can we have the opportunity to open the two mysterious boxes!"

The old man's voice echoed in the empty space, with an anxious and earnest taste.

However, after hearing this, Matthew's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

He knew very well that this sentence was just a complete lie.

How could such crucial information be delayed until this moment to be uttered?

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this old guy was just trying to play some tricks so that he would stay here foolishly and wait for him to come up slowly.

After Matthew glanced at the skinny old man below, he turned his head and stopped looking at him.

Now, the most important thing is to get to the top first.

From the skinny old man's words just now, Matthew already knew that the other party might have reached the end of his strength.

If he didn't hurry up at this time, would he really have to wait for someone to come up before taking action together?
