Arthur's mouth hung open, unable to figure out Xu Tao's aim.
"What are you doing? We're out of time—get your ass up there, quickly!"
But there was no chance to figure things out. As Xu Tao had warned, they were running out of time. Considering the long staircase and the time needed to scale it, they wouldn't make it within five minutes unless they ran.
"Kuh…!" Arthur gritted his teeth, forced to decide without enough information. "Alright, everyone! Do as Sir Tao said! Let's rush to the next floor!"
There was no time to analyze the trial's intent, not a moment to try and second-guess. But if he was this confident... then maybe it was worth the gamble. In the end, Arthur decided to trust his words.
With Arthur at the lead, his team sprinted toward the straight stairs behind the monolith.
"Alright, everyone. Don't take a single step—or we'll die!"
