There was a pod at the foot of the Mud Viper Nest, which brought the duo to the top. As he exited the pod, Torq walked towards the edge of the nest and peered downward, immediately taking a step back.
Beginner Iron Grade Pranic Beast–Mud Viper!
A territorial Pranic Beast reaching two metres in length, sporting a bony head and a lizard-like body. A Mud Viper's greatest strength was the sheer numbers of its kind and their unity against an external foe.
They lived as a colony and treated the colony above their sense of self, hence able to literally swarm their opponents to death.
The moment Torq arrived at the edge of the Mud Viper Nest, his senses perceived the danger and retreated before he triggered the Mud Vipers by mistake.
All the gruff man did in the meantime was observe his actions from behind, nodding in approval upon seeing Torq judge the situation well in advance.
