Chapter 485: A Master Preformance
The roar came again...closer this time. It sounded deeper, almost hungrier. I would have made a sarcastic comment or two about wondering what it was hungry for, but I was pretty sure that I was the only thing on the menu today.
Or at least, the only thing worth eating.
The trees and leaves around Papa Khaos and I shook with each footstep the creature took. The only thing I could really think of was that this thing had to be big, maybe even bigger than Rexy. Huh, I wonder if Rexy wanted a friend...
After all, it couldn’t be easy being a T-Rex in today’s society.
And above us, the canopy shifted—only slightly, but enough to make it feel like the sky itself was leaning in to watch whatever drama was about to unfold.
However, I didn’t so much as flinch.
The vines at my feet curled like living snakes, slithering into archways and spirals, forming a throne-shaped structure behind me. They weren’t shielding me. They were presenting me like a name card at a buffet, letting the creature know it was ready with dessert.
"Okay," I muttered, brushing dirt from my dress. "You brought me out here to fight," I grumbled under my breath. "You said this was a walk."
"It is," Papa Khaos said, a bright smile on his face as he looked at me with amusement. "It’s an educational walk with better scenery."
"Educational walks don’t usually come with roars and bone-shaking death in the trees... and the scenery shouldn’t want to eat me," I pointed out even as the earth under our feet shook again. Now that it was getting closer, the effects it was having on its environment were even easier to see.
Like the fact that there was now a giant chasm on the path in front of us.
