Chapitre 179: Panic

Everything was still. The grasshoppers had stopped moving. Rodney didn't look at Khan, but his arms were in the air as he continued to wield the rock firmly. The cave was the embodiment of death and gore.

Khan didn't move. He preferred everything to remain still to hold on to the faint hope that he had imagined those scenes. Yet, a third humanoid figure suddenly entered his vision and forced him to think about his next move. 

Asyat was sitting on the ground. Her eyes didn't move, which confirmed how she was under the effects of hypnosis. The monster was probably waiting for Rodney to finish with the other Niqols before moving to her.

Khan's eyes darted through the cavity. The grasshoppers barely showed differences among each other, but one of them was slightly bigger than the others. Moreover, a faint pressure came out of it and tried to reach his mind, but the mental shield prepared beforehand blocked it.
