Just as I feared, the worst-case scenario sprang to life—literally. From the ground ahead of us erupted a massive, writhing creature that looked disturbingly like a giant, blood-red intestine with teeth.
"What the hell is that thing?!" I yelled, slamming the brakes, the buggy screeching to a halt.
Jiuge let out an ear-piercing shriek, clutching her face as if that would shield her from the horror. "Eeeek! I HATE worms! Agnos, kill it!"
Agnos, ever the poster child of indifference, barely glanced at the monstrosity. "You know, you could kill it yourself," he replied, his tone so casual it was infuriating.
"Did you not hear a wor—" Jiuge's frantic words faded into the background as my brain caught up with what I was seeing.
"WHO IN MYTHICA LET THEIR INTESTINE OUT?!" I blurted, my voice cracking at the end.
