The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2162 The Real Beginning

"Master, I... I can hold on for a while longer. Please let me help you on the road ahead."

Just as Matthew was about to resolutely step onto the stairs full of unknowns and dangers, Naro, who had been sitting quietly on his shoulder, suppressed his fatigue and took the initiative to speak.

There was a hint of stubbornness and determination in its childish voice. Although it was very tired, its little mouth was slightly open and it was breathing heavily, but its eyes revealed its determination to never back down.

Matthew turned his head and looked at Naro, with a look of concern and emotion in his eyes.

He nodded gently, with a hint of gratitude and relief in his voice: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Naro."

In this environment, he knew how important Nara's help was to him.

If it weren't for the magical pink light released by Na Luo, he would probably still be stumbling forward on the road below, suppressed by the heavy gravity and unable to move forward.

Of course, all of this is to accumulate energy for future developments.

The moment Matthew took a cautious step and stepped onto the stairs, a gravity that was stronger and more ferocious than before suddenly hit him like a surging tide.

This force seemed to have substance and hit him hard, making him almost lose his balance and his body swayed involuntarily.

At this moment, the pink glow covering his body was like a lone boat in the stormy waves, shaking violently under the pressure of the powerful gravity.

The originally soft and stable light now became flickering, as if it could be completely dispelled by this violent force at any time and disappear without a trace.

Seeing this, Na Luo's eyes flashed with anxiety. It opened its mouth without hesitation, and a new stream of pink light instantly gushed out, accurately covering the originally shaky light, making it glow with a stable and soft light again.

Na Luo's body was trembling slightly, and it was obvious that this action consumed a lot of its physical strength.

Seeing this, Matthew's eyes fixed, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

He clenched his teeth, bent his legs slightly, accumulated strength, and strode forward.

Every step he took was accompanied by a heavy thud, as if the steps under his feet were under tremendous pressure.

Compared with the skinny old man, Matthew's speed was particularly amazing.

It took the skinny old man twenty long breaths to walk up one step. Each step seemed extremely difficult, as if he had used up all his strength.

But with the help of Naro's pink glow, Matthew only took two breaths of time to leave the steps as lightly as a ghost and quickly stepped onto another step.

Under the cover of pink glow, Matthew's figure turned into a blurry shadow, moving rapidly upwards.

He had only one belief in his heart, which was to break through all the obstacles as soon as possible and reach the top.

Without any pause, he climbed up dozens of steps in one breath, each step filled with strength and determination.

"Eighty-one..."

Matthew silently counted the number of steps he had climbed. As the number continued to increase, the tension in his heart became more and more intense.

The moment his foot stepped onto the 81st step.

Suddenly, the pink glow covering the body made a heart-pounding "squeak" sound, as if it was a painful groan under the heavy burden.

The sound was particularly harsh in the silent environment, and Matthew's heart sank suddenly.

He looked down at Na Luo, and saw that Na Luo's little face had turned pale, beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down his forehead, and his body was trembling slightly.

Obviously, the continuous release of such powerful pink light has pushed Naro to his limit.

But even so, Na Luo still gritted his teeth, trying hard to maintain the stability of the glow and prevent it from dissipating.

Matthew felt a little distressed and reluctant, but he also understood that they had no way out at this moment.

If you can't keep moving forward, all your previous efforts will be wasted.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, while thinking quickly of a response plan in his mind.

He knew very well that this was a crucial moment. If he wanted to find a way to escape from the predicament, he had to become more calm and collected!

When he tried to step from the 81st step to the 82nd step, the heavy gravity seemed to turn into an invisible barrier, blocking his steps.

Every bit of strength he exerted was like fighting against a towering mountain. He tried his best and it took him five full breaths of time to finally complete this leap with great difficulty.

As he climbed up step by step, the pressure continued to grow.

When he finally stepped onto the 95th step panting, the pink glow that had been protecting him and Na Luo from the oppression of gravity finally reached its limit and made a crisp shattering sound, like glass breaking, and shattered into countless flickering points of light that disappeared into the air.

Almost at the same moment, Na Luo's small body shook violently, and he felt a black screen in front of his eyes. His already exhausted body could no longer withstand the tremendous pressure and shook violently several times involuntarily.

Then, its eyes rolled back and it fainted, its small body falling limply to the side.

And just at the critical moment when the pink glow was about to collapse, a dazzling purple light suddenly flashed around Matthew.

The light was like the bright stars in the night sky, instantly illuminating a small area around him.

This was the protective spiritual light released by Matthew. Although this spiritual light could not completely resist such a strong gravitational pressure, it could at least help him share some of the pressure so that he would not be instantly crushed by this terrifying force.

Matthew's gaze quickly turned to the unconscious Naro. Looking at its pale face and weak appearance, he couldn't help but feel a surge of pain and pity in his heart.

Along the way, Na Luo always stayed by his side, never left him, and lent a helping hand many times at critical moments to help him out of danger.

Now, it has fallen into a coma due to excessive consumption of magic power, which makes Matthew feel extremely guilty and distressed.

However, the situation at the moment was extremely urgent and did not allow him to have too much time to grieve or delay.

Matthew stretched out his hand cautiously and waved it gently towards Na Luo. A soft light flashed, and Na Luo's body was put into the Green Dragon Bracelet he carried with him.

There is abundant spiritual energy and a stable environment inside the Qinglong bracelet.

By staying in it, Naro can rest and recuperate in peace, free from external interference and danger, until he recovers his strength.

At this point, Matthew knew clearly that no one could lend a helping hand to him.

The road ahead is full of unknowns and dangers, and he can only rely on himself to walk on it tenaciously.

Without Naro's help and the protection of the pink glow, the difficulties he would face would be unimaginable.
