"Isn't it gravity?" Li Xuan looked at Zhou Wen in surprise.
"No, if it were gravity, that human would have been pressed to the ground. It would be impossible for him to stand there," Zhou Wen explained.
"That's right. Seems tricky if it's not gravity." Li Xuan scratched his head. "Thankfully, someone else is scouting. Let's wait and see."
The alien on the stone steps was still advancing, but his speed was getting slower and slower. After a while, one could see the stone steps behind him falling one after another. His speed could no longer keep up with the speed at which the stone steps behind him fell.
In his horror, he tried with all his might to head higher, but he couldn't walk fast. His footsteps became heavier and heavier.
Finally, the stone steps beneath his feet fell into the bottomless abyss, taking him along with it.
