"What was that, Cassian?" Lumine asked, her voice still shaky.
The massive ape-like monster, to their luck, hadn't noticed them. It continued on its way, still chewing on the mangled human bodies in its grasp. Even as it disappeared into the distance, they could still see its towering form moving through the trees, leaving behind nothing but a trail of blood and shattered remains.
Cassian exhaled slowly, stepping out of their hiding spot along with the others. His expression was grim as he muttered, "I don't know, and I don't care. That thing is not our problem."
He turned to Wanni and gave her a sharp nod. "Wanni, take Robert and the siblings. Spread the word about that monster to every defensive post on the way back to the main camp outside the jungle." Then, his gaze darkened as he continued, "Lumine and I will head toward the village that thing came from."
