Deep in the night, inside his tent, Ryven was just about to wake from his deep sleep when he suddenly heard Samminah's voice echo in his mind.
"Stay calm... And don't move."
Hearing her serious tone, Ryven subconsciously looked around.
Before he could even understand what was happening, something suddenly wrapped around his body.
With a closer look, his face instantly turned pale.
A gigantic centipede had coiled itself around him.
Its enormous body was covered in a dark crimson exoskeleton. Sharp spikes could be seen in every segment, while countless twitching legs crawled across his body relentlessly.
Near its head were two curved white horns, and inside its grotesque mouth were rows upon rows of incredibly sharp teeth that could tear a person apart in seconds.
The creature's sharp legs slowly tightened around him.
Strangely it didn't harm the skin in his body.
A chilling sense of dread washed over Ryven, making it difficult for him to process what's happening.
