Bai Wei stepped onto the stone steps. She looked very relaxed. There was no special power on the stone steps. Her steps were very light.
Bai Wei also frowned slightly because she did not feel any power on the stone steps. It was no different from walking down a normal stone step.
If Bai Wei went as fast as she could, it would be easy for her to walk a few steps in one second.
"This is a test set by the Undying Bird. It can't be that simple." Bai Wei did not dare be reckless. She carefully walked up the stairs, taking each step with care.
But there was nothing special about the stone steps. After Bai Wei walked a few dozen steps, she still did not feel any power stopping her.
"Bai Wei, your body!" Ji Qing suddenly screamed from below.
Bai Wei looked back at Ji Qing and noticed that Han Sen and the others were all looking at her in shock. It was as if something shocking had happened to her.
Bai Wei hurriedly looked at her body. With one look, even Bai Wei's expression changed.
After walking a few dozen steps, Bai Wei did not feel anything wrong with her body. But her body had grown.
Bai Wei used to look like an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl, but now she looked like an adult woman in her twenties. Her height and body had changed a lot, and even her breasts had grown a lot. They had grown from a B to a D cup.
Bai Wei frowned. She walked a few more steps, and her body changed. It was as if she had grown a few years older.
Bai Wei thought about it for a moment, and then she retreated another ten steps. Then, something amazing happened. Her body started to grow back.
"You finally noticed."
The old woman laughed. She used her hoarse voice to explain, "Mister Undying Bird set up this Life and Death Staircase. Not just anyone can walk it. As the name suggests, the Life and Death Staircase is a journey from life to death. This staircase is your entire life. When you reach the end of the staircase, your life will come to an end. You will die."
"If you reach the end of the staircase, you will die. What is the point of winning?
Undying Bird is so evil. It doesn't give people a chance to win. "Ji Qing lifted her lips.
The old woman was not angry. She coldly said, "Mister Undying Bird used a geno art to create a Life and Death Path. If you are strong enough, break it. There is nothing evil about it. It is all up to you."
Bai Wei did not say anything else. She continued walking up the mountaintop. The closer she got, the younger she became. She went from a young girl to a woman, and then from a woman to a middle-aged woman. When she was about to reach the mountaintop, Bai Wei looked like an old woman.
When they were only a few steps away from the top of the mountain, Bai Wei looked as if she could not breathe. Her body was shaking like an old woman on the brink of death.
Bai Wei thought it might have been some kind of illusion, but now she felt it wasn't an illusion. Her body had aged beyond recognition. She was afraid that by the time she finished the last few steps, she would reach the end of her life, just like the old woman had said.
When Bai Wei left, she used all her power to stop her body from aging. But it was useless. The stairs were like the law of life and death. No power could stop it.
Looking at the last four stone steps, Bai Wei stopped. She didn't know whether she should continue or not.
Han Sen and the others were shocked, too. Just a single stone step had such a scary power. It was hard to imagine how scary Undying Bird had been when it was alive.
"If you can go backwards, perhaps this is just a test. You won't die if you complete the steps. You can just come back after winning the bet," Ji Qing said.
In fact, Bai Wei was thinking the same thing. But no one could guarantee that they wouldn't die after walking down the stairs. If they really did die after walking down the stairs, it would be a great shame.
When the old woman heard Ji Qing, she laughed and said, "That is possible. There is a fifty percent chance of life and death. If you have the guts, why don't you take the gamble?"
Bai Wei looked at the old woman at the end of the stairs. Her face kept changing. This was not a game. If she guessed wrong, she could die.
"If I go down the stairs, can I come back up?"
Bai Wei looked at the old woman and asked. Her voice was like that of an old woman who was nearing the end of her life. It was weak, and it sounded hoarse.
"Do you want to catch a creature to try?
What is the point of that test? "
The old woman looked at her with disdain. "Bai King's Queen, you have to use Bai King's power. You have to use your life and your judgment to win this bet. If you leave the stairs, you lose the bet."
"Little Silver, go and catch a small beast," Han Sen said to Little Silver.
When Little Silver heard Han Sen, he ran into the forest. Not long later, he came back with a small beast that looked like a rabbit.
Han Sen gestured for Little Silver to throw the little creature down the stairs. Then, he flicked its butt. The little rabbit was frightened, and it immediately began to climb up the stairs.
When the old woman said she was going to kill them, Bai Wei did not try to stop her. Han Sen thought it was an eye for an eye.
The little beast was like Bai Wei. The higher it climbed, the older it became. When it reached the last few steps, it was too old to move. It took all of its power to climb each step.
Bai Wei looked at Han Sen with surprise. She did not expect Han Sen to help her.
The little beast finally reached the last step. It looked like it had used up the last bit of its power and fire. It shivered and struggled to reach the top. It died on the stairs. It was dead.
Everyone sucked in a cold breath. It looked like reaching the end of the stairs was the end of life.
"This is so shameless. Winning is losing, and losing is losing," Ji Qing could not help but say.
"If you have the power to break the Life and Death Path, you will not have to die." The old woman looked as if she did not care.
Bai Wei's expression kept changing. She was already thinking of retreating. The Undying Bird had set up a death test. Using her life to win a bet was not worth it.
Just as Bai Wei was about to leave, she heard Han Sen say, "If I were you, I would finish the stairs."
Bai Wei was shocked. She looked at Han Sen, unsure of what he meant.
The old woman suddenly looked at Han Sen and said, "Young man, you are not standing between life and death. That is easy for you to say. If you are so confident, you can come and try."
