"Master Ni Yang!!" Stacy called out from behind him.
Damn it. He was running too fast! He spun his head around- checking to see if Stacy was in trouble.
But he ended up looking way past her- over her shoulders- to the din behind.
His flashing eyes burned in his sockets. The hinges of his jaw slackened- forcing his mouth into a low hanging opening. The wireworms! They covered the entire mouth of the hill! Undler the light of the crescent moon, their gleamy white bodies shimmered like an infestation of giant maggots.
No wonder they were throwing themselves!
There was hardly any space between each slithering creature!
Nexus took a mental snapshot of the image, and jerked his head back- wishing he hadn't.
A flashing moment later, Nexus suddenly realized something was wrong. In his mind's eye, he went over the image- again and again as his own feet blasted forward in long heavy strides. Their line of trajectory- it wasn't making sense at all!
