Rather than descend to the ground, everyone remained suspended in the air through Joey's ability.
"What do we do now?" Joey was not particularly good at finding his bearings, but now that they were off the monster's back, using the sun to determine their direction seemed like a decent option.
After a moment's thought, Ging raised his hand and pointed. "Let's keep going that way."
A compass had appeared in Dwun's hand, but its needle was still spinning rapidly. Presumably, interference from the magnetic field had long since rendered it useless.
Joey did not particularly care which direction they went. Still, after looking down to compare, he discovered that Ging had pointed in the same direction the forest monsters on the plain were moving.
These moving patches of forest seemed to be migrating. The ground they passed over had become barren, while fertile plains lay ahead of them.
But thinking along those lines, if these moving forest beasts were migrating herbivores, were there predators lurking on this plain as well? After all, lions, jackals, cheetahs, crocodiles-the grasslands had far too many creatures that preyed on herbivores!
Vast as the Dark Continent was, it could not escape the laws of nature.
As Joey thought this, he saw a distant patch of forest suddenly tumble away, throwing up clouds of dust. A piercing scream rang out as the forest rolled-the agonized howl of a beast that had suffered a fatal wound!
And with that scream, the creature attacking the forest monster came into view.
It was an enormous monster that had suddenly burrowed out of the ground, looking like an oversized pangolin!
Not only had it broken through the ground, but its sudden attack had also bored straight through the forest monster's body.
What shocked Joey and the others even more was
