Fang Yuan’s scream reverberated through the cavern like a thunderclap, sheer horror etched across his face.

He bolted forward, spiritual energy flaring wildly behind him.
The sabertooth froze in place out of fear despite already resolving itself to take down the treasure with it.
For in that instant, it sensed death rushing toward it, dressed in silk robes and heavy rage.
Its amber eyes went wide. It swallowed instinctively.
