The sound of teeth grinding like metallic gears was everywhere.
The Sharkmen liked grinding their teeth, as if it would sharpen them. Most importantly, their prey would start to panic when they heard the sound.
When their prey was panicking, they would lose the ability to think calmly and run for their lives, making a lot of noise.
As the teeth-grinding noise grew closer, the skinny man began to feel uneasy.
He was not injured. His hiding spot was also concealed. The Sharkmen would only notice him if they came up to the overhead bridge. It was unlikely they knew he was hiding on it.
However, he started moving as if he was recalling the friend whose cries of agony were still echoing in his head. He had an irresistible urge to flee when he imagined the same thing happening to him.
Well, that's definitely the tactic of a smart rat, you gotta admit...
