Chapter 294.4: Stairs That Disappeared
After a strange and mystifying bout of snowfall that happened unexpectedly out of the blue, though a tip of the iceberg was revealed and became visible to the naked eye, the place still looked so unreal and far away.
But as time trickled by, the mysterious veil shrouding the place seemed to be coming uncovered a little bit at a time.
Around that majestic and imposing architecture, its hazy shroud seemed to be turning faint slowly, as the entire shape of the Mind Free Peak gradually came to be revealed. And when the entire place appeared unobstructed before everyone, their eyes were all once again stunned wide, their mouths agape.
Towering just at the edge of the clouds, was a glimmering palace that shone like it was built out of clear crystalline crystals, the sunlight scintillating through the magnificent structure in myriad colourful beams, a sight so beautiful it felt as if they were caught in a dream, and it was just an illusion that might probably all disappear in a blink.
Someone was unable to hold in the excitement in his heart when he saw the glass like stairs that cascaded down from the edge of the structure, and his body immediately went charging straight towards it, like he wanted to be the first to scale the steps.
Of course, that man was not the only one to do that. Seeing that someone had made a move before them, they were naturally not going to fall behind and immediately went chasing after the person.
But something unexpected happened all of a sudden. The first person who went charging onto the stairs suddenly let out a mournful wail, as his body went plummeting downwards in a fall, to disappear without a trace in a blink.
Everyone turned their eyes to look, and they discovered that the glass steps have suddenly disappeared.
The people who were following closely behind scrambled to halt their feet when they saw that, their faces turning pale as death, like their souls had almost left their bodies as they stared at the scene that had unfolded right before their eyes. But they were all also silently rejoicing that they had been a step slower, otherwise they would have died such an ignoble and senseless death.
But, why did the stairs suddenly disappear out of the blue?
When everyone turned their eyes to look again, they discovered that the stairs were there, back in place. But that guy who had stepped onto those stairs just now had clearly fallen from those steps when they suddenly disappeared, to die for absolutely nothing.
What exactly is happening here?
With a prior example for everyone to see, no one else dared to go charging up so brashly, but began to discuss with each other for a solution with grim faces.
“Could those steps..... be merely just an illusion? They are just a fragment of our imagination and do not actually exist in reality.” Zhuge Xiong started to say, as he rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
“Not necessarily. The Mind Free Peak wouldn’t need to use such a trick to toy with us like that, but there is indeed something strange about those stairs, and we will not be able to scale them through conventional methods.” Qing Tian Lin curved up his lips into a smile and said.
Hearing that, Zhuge Xiong arched up an eyebrow to look at the man. “What great solution do you have in mind?”
Qing Tian Lin shrugged his shoulders. “I have not come up with a solution yet. Afterall, only one person has tried to go up, all of it happening before anyone could do anything, and I was unable to even get a good look.”
“That is so simple.” Zhuge Xiong said with a laugh, and then raised a hand to point nonchalantly at a person. “You. Go climb those stairs and show me.”
The face of the Hunters Guild member that got pointed out immediately turned white from fear, his head shaking like a child’s toy drum as he stammered in horror: “Guild Chief, I..... I do not dare to.... I... I’m scared I’ll die.....”
