Their last encounter with the Sand Dragon had barely sent them retreating with their lives. And that was by luck, too.
At that time, during their last encounter, Xavier and his group of Alex, Trise and Chelsea had merely been unfortunate enough to be the ones to run into the Sand Worm.
But the Monster hadn't been exactly aggressive or pro-active against them.
It merely attacked the intruders, but even when they tried to flee, the Sand Worm didn't persist or pursue.
But now...
"Get back!" Xavier yelled.
It was certainly thoroughly trying to crush them!
The humumgous body fell against them and the ground exploded like a mine had gone off.
Alexander was flung through the air in a defensive position with his arms raised over his face.
The chamber shuddered like the rumble of a bellowing beast.
A burgeoning cloud of dust mushroomed into the air and parts of the ceilings collapsed from above.
