Hundreds of creatures entered the edge of my senses and reached above us within moments.
The instant they arrived overhead, the corpses we had left there vanished from existence and were devoured in an instant.
Their numbers were enormous, but this wasn't the first time we had encountered swarms like these, and every time we either hid or moved away depending on what the situation allowed.
But this time wasn't the same. Apparently, those things sensed our presence while we were isolated several meters underground.
And worse, they were digging and breaking through the earth toward us rapidly.
"Elliot, this direction."
I pointed toward the direction the monsters were coming from above us while the light in Elliot's hand quickly went out before being replaced by Izel's flame.
Under the dim firelight and the tremors around us, the rocks before Elliot began opening up and forming a tunnel nearly two meters wide forward.
