Kyle ran towards the canyon and climbed down.
Luckily, no feathers assaulted him on his journey.
’In fact, where is that bird? I don’t see it anymore.’
’Did some beast kill it, or was it that guard that followed that Lornstein guy?’
’Oh well, who cares?’
As Kyle reached the bottom of the canyon, he looked around.
It was eerily quiet.
"Keep to the side of the canyon," Theodor said. "If a flying beast sees you walking through the middle, it might attack."
"Sure thing, Boss," Kyle said as he approached one of the walls.
Then, he continued running towards the other end of the canyon.
Some seconds later, Kyle noticed a couple of stones moving on the other wall of the canyon, and his instincts warned him of danger.
Immediately, Kyle pulled out the iron ore wall he had made during his visit to the Abyss Eye.
Naturally, Kyle wouldn’t throw something as useful as this away.
He laid down near the wall and put the sheet of iron ore over him.
After some seconds, he peeked out from behind his sheet.
Two long eyes!
There were two eyes on the end of long organic sticks!
It looked like the eyes belonged to a huge snail, and right now, the two eyes were looking through the canyon.
Kyle hid behind his sheet again and waited.
Sometime later, he heard an explosion happening about 50 meters away from him.
He glanced out again.
’Ah fuck,’ he thought. ’I hoped this canyon would be empty.’
Just now, something that looked like a velociraptor ran towards the eyes.
Kyle’s instincts told him that this thing was dangerous as well.
It was not nearly as dangerous as the big bird or the Ore Fiend, but it was still dangerous.
"What’s that?" Kyle asked silently.
"I’m not a wildlife biologist," Theodor said. "I know some beasts, but I don’t know all of them."
Kyle watched the eyes retreating back into the wall of the canyon.
The next moment, the velociraptor-looking-ass thing released a high-pitched shout.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Kyle’s eyes widened when he saw three pieces of stone lifting off the walls.
The stones were not stones but grey scales!
The scales changed shape, revealing three more velociraptor things.
’These fuckers are camouflaging as stones!’
The velociraptor things attacked the wall where the snail eyes were.
’Gotta take this chance while they are distracted!’
Kyle went to his feet and charged forward, keeping his sheet of iron at his side.
If these things returned to their earlier position, he would need to get past them while the canyon was silent.
Kyle was not good at sneaking, and he was sure that they would find him.
So, he was forced to take a chance.
From time to time, Kyle glanced at the battle.
The velociraptor things were pulling out the eyes, revealing a big core with over 20 eyes growing out of it.
’What the fuck is this thing?!’ he thought.
The eyes stared at the velociraptor things, and some of them slowed down.
