The seemingly endless spiral staircase stretched on.
Whether it was due to their fraught nerves, the extreme fatigue of their bodies, or the dizzying rotation of the staircase... it was a never-ending climb, a never-ending climb.
Hu Ya wanted to overtake them, but the staircase wasn't wide enough to accommodate three people walking side by side. In the end, all five of them fell together in the shuffle.
Zhu Shu fell down and hit the metal railing, clamping down on her lip with a mute groan, her whole body breaking out in cold sweat.
When she had been seized and dragged on the ground by the Duke, her bones in her hand were crushed and her knees were scraped raw.
Su Man and Yu Yaqing also bore injuries of varying severity.
They struggled to their feet, helping each other down the stairs, with Hu Ya recklessly at the lead, scared of ending up at the back.
The Snowflake creatures were melting faster than they expected.
