It was only at this moment that Rocky and his companions encountered real danger.
Since they had entered the Cave of Blood Cries, they had faced a few battles, but those skirmishes were more bizarre than truly perilous. However, the situation had changed drastically. Faced with thousands upon thousands of beetles and an increasing number of Mantis Demons that could threaten them, Rocky and his group were not just in danger—they had plunged into desperate straits in an instant!
By this time, a great many beetles had crawled up the walls of the Dissolving Cave to the ceiling, and then began to drop like raindrops. One of them happened to land right on Dusa.
