"Elara, Peter!"
Daru called in alarm, sliding out of his sleeping bag.
Sleeping in the middle of the two, his rowdy actions instantly woke his comrades up. Elara instantly knew what was going on. She slipped out of her slipping bag with practiced motion and scrambled towards the entrance.
Peter, meanwhile, was dumbfounded for a moment, unable to keep up as quickly.
Still, the SSS-ranker did the same.
The moment his head peered out of the burrow's mouth, the first thing he heard was the clanging of steel.
There, a few meters in front of him, his comrades were fighting a huge, slim spider with a repulsive appearance.
But there was something else.
He felt it, the chilling, suffocating sensation of impending death and annihilation.
"Is this that Hissing they're talking about?" he muttered, then joined the fray.
With the three of them, all apex rankers of this batch of humanity, the Rotblade Burrower was defeated fairly easily.
