"Watch out!" Hou Zeliang shouted, but it was already too late.
Those who had paid no attention to the warning were thrown off balance by the sudden tremors, and before they knew it, one foot had slipped into a deep crack that looked as though a giant maw had bitten through the ground.
From its pitch-black depths blew gusts of cold wind carrying a strange temperature, as if the Grim Reaper were desperately tugging at their souls, trying to drag them into the hell beneath the earth.
