I kept staring at Vienna a moment longer before turning my attention towards the rest.
"On our way, we had encountered no monsters."
Vienna had a look of disbelief on her face as I ignored her.
"That might have been due to the fact that the area was near the teleportation passage. Don't space out, and be careful of your surroundings. In a desert like this the thing we have to be most cautious about—"
Before I could finish my sentence, the ground below us began sinking deeper.
"Move!"
Noticing the abnormality, along with my shout, seemed to have knocked some sense into my teammates as they jumped out of the pit.
I took out the sword from my storage before jumping high up in the air.
In a fraction of a second, a mouth appeared at the place we were standing moments prior.
Before anyone could process it, a huge centipede jumped out from the ground, its jaw directly below me.
Tensing my muscles, I spun mid-air before positioning myself just at the side of the centipede's mouth.
