A Sudden Proposition

I heard that but I didn't dare look behind me and stop. I know that if I were to take a break right now, even for a split second, the gross Flying Meatpiles would come right at me and make me its undigested meal. I for one don't want to die like that... and also, I don't think Hui-ying and the System liked that either. I mean, who would even want that?

The barren wastelands that extended for miles made me realize that I was finally back in the Lower Middle Plane. This is where the terrestrial Meatpiles reside, and so do other rabid humans that are more dangerous than the ones I've met. That's why even though I've heard someone say 'halt', I didn't take my chances.

"I said stop! How insolent!" The man said at the top of his voice once again. Based on his volume, I could tell that he was somewhere above, floating as he watched my desperate struggle.
