Castra's eyes widened at the sudden attack and betrayal.
What is this dumb elf doing, attacking a fellow victim who was facing an identified monster?!
Castra was about to swing his shovel to repel the thorny vine shooting at him when he saw the vine nimbly bypass his body and shot at the monster's wide open mouth right behind him.
TWACK!
The thorn on the vine stabbed the monster's snout, yet it barely left a scratch.
Still, the vine slapped the mouth away and the monster couldn't bite Castra's back in one go.
"KREEE!"
The monster was furious and its attention immediately shifted from Castra, who was squatting on top of the large rock, to the annoying green vine.
Swoosh!
The vine immediately wriggled like a living snake and it started a round of run-and-chase with the monster, giving everyone a little time to breathe.
"Huuuu...that was close."
Castra hurriedly went down the huge rock and hid behind the rock with the two elves.
