When the cave collapsed, several Beastmen were trying to evacuate. Despite moving as quickly as they could, one of them was struck by a falling rock. His right arm, below the elbow, was twisted at an unnatural angle.
The Beastman was screaming in agony!
Gaiyin and Meng Ze hurriedly dragged him to the side of the bonfire at the base of the hill. The tremors had decreased, but the Beastmen, who had an acute sense of smell, smelled a pungent odor. Simultaneously, the normally docile Wall-Crawler Beasts began to panic.
Gaiyin assigned a female Beastman to look after the injured one and another to search for the elder, Nike.
The earthquake had caused a deep chasm to open up in the clearing that connected the tribe to the forest in the north.
Like crazed beasts, the Wall-Crawlers were crawling north. Even when faced with a large gap, they did not hesitate to leap into it, as if something terrifying was chasing them from behind!
