Myles followed the direction of Lilian's outstretched arm and saw a jagged opening carved into a rising wall of fused mineral and bone-like material half swallowed by the glowing brown earth as if the land had tried and failed to consume it.
The entrance pulsed and there were amber veins tracing along its edges like roots.
Another Aberrant Burrower erupted between them and the cave, its human face stretching wide as it lunged, but Myles stepped forward without slowing and cut it down in a clean diagonal slash.
"We go to the cave. Keep formation. Don't break!" he said.
They adjusted instantly. The Aberrant Burrowers shrieked and burst from the ground in something that looks like a desperate effort to take them down but the group carved through them relentlessly like before.
Every meter gained came with another corpse collapsing into the glowing earth. They crushed over writhing remains and pushed straight toward the entrance Lilian had marked.
