Chương 319: Insatiable

Morgana's eyes focused, then refocused again, glaring through water until the particles of blood began to peel back. In seconds, the rippling blue colour became clear as crystal, revealing all the wonders of the vast cavern above to her restless eyes.

Just a little closer.

Her eyes remained fixed, tracking the movements of the large scorpion as it wandered near the water's edge. It couldn't see her, but its instincts already knew something was wrong. Its body was tense, the wiry hairs on its pincers throbbing with each new lap of water that hit the rocky edge. 

Yet it drew closer nonetheless, lulled into safety because it couldn't see an enemy in sight.

A little more and it wouldn't just detect the vibrations, but see the dark blood seeping out from beneath the water's murky depths, only by then it would be too late.
