On the way back to Fox City, he was still guessing where Zelkara is right now. Even though the puppet and the items left behind strongly suggested that Zelkara had died, Veyra still could not accept that his closest friend could have been killed so easily.
If he actually died, then as the Young Lord of Crocodile City, the City Lord should have taken action already, unless…
A horrifying thought suddenly rose in his mind, and he immediately stopped in place and changed his direction. He ran towards the direction of Crocodile City instead.
How was that even possible…
He was frightened by his own thoughts.
Sensing the sudden change in direction, Celeste asked, "What's wrong? Weren't we heading back?"
"I need to confirm something," he replied shortly, his speed increasing again.
But he still did not arrive in time. Before he arrived at the city gates, the ground began to tremble violently. The impact was so strong that even Veyra struggled to maintain his balance.
