*TKTKTK* - The carnivorous plant inside the cave, after several seconds in the vicinity of Yoichi's torchlight, felt the heat of the draconic flame.
Its woody limbs slammed hard against the walls, knocking water and debris from the ceiling and straining the young tamer's balance.
Yoichi slipped Takamori's dagger back behind his belt and, without wasting any more time, jammed the torch into a recess in the wall, preparing to activate Kenji's power.
"I'm sorry, my friend. But I need your cave, and I doubt you want to share it with me" the young warrior said, who, as always, spoke to the wild demons as if they could understand his language.
The huge mouth of the carnivorous plant closed and, while the twigs on its back continued to emit that bizarre sound, it put both arms on the ground: the roots that connected the ends of those pseudo-arms to the rest of the body stretched instantly, penetrating inside the pre-existing fractures of the rock.
