Staring Death In The Mouth

On a scale of 1 to 10, how dangerous was the colossal worm far back behind Josh? Probably a 100! The Mini-Boss had already taken their all to take down, and this one newcomer was an actual Boss! 

Still, he couldn't help but feel resentful. That damn worm! It had waited till the very last second to pop out and eat their prey. Couldn't it have done so before Josh went through all that trouble?!

Josh didn't believe one bit that he had what it took to fight that opponent, so he ran. For once, Josh didn't have to guide the snake. All the monsters in a large area were busy fighting, so they just ran straight. 

But this was a bad idea. As fast as the snake was, it could never outrun their pursuant. That's why Josh remained attentive until he saw an access well and jumped off, his ride so frightened it didn't notice him.
