Mud soaked through the soles of the shoes.
Lin Fan ran wildly in the dark alley.
The shouts and curses behind him were like maggots on the tarsus, chasing after me.
"Catch that loser!"
"Break his legs!"
The obscene words hitting his back were more hurtful than stones.
He is Lin Fan, a mortal who is not even a low-level monk.
In this world of the jungle, he lives like a wild dog.
Hunger is the norm, and beatings are commonplace.
My lungs hurt so much that they almost exploded.
He didn't dare to stop.
If you stop, you will be beaten severely and may even lose your life.
A faint light appeared in the alleyway ahead.
It was on the outskirts of the slums, close to the rumored [Forbidden Place].
There might be a chance of survival by going there.
The footsteps behind him are getting closer.
He gritted his teeth and rushed out of the alley.
The sight before him stopped him in his tracks.
