652nd Break: Intention

Five hours ago.

"Why did you voluntarily go with Wen-er, even if you knew that I would kill you?" Lianyun asked Meng Xing as they walked towards the Eye of the Abyss. 

Meng Xing looked at the mountain ranges surrounding them and couldn't help but marvel at the sight. After all, he could only see skyscrapers in the city in his previous world while most mountains in the provinces he visited were already bald compared to the ones before him right now. It is because as time progressed, humans also progressed. Unfortunately, nature can't keep up with them as they plundered it more the longer the time passed. 

Meng Xing pulled himself from his thoughts. "Because I am confident that I can live." He answered. 

"Oh?" Lianyun muttered and looked at him. "Do you think you can beat me?" he asked him. 

"No." Meng Xing shook his head. 

"Then, why did you say that you can live?" Lianyun asked as his brow raised.
