Rhizen’s Betrayal
Having tied a handkerchief around his nose to filter out the dust, Rhizen arrived before the rubble, gazing at the corpse of the scorpion.
He took out two mechanical files from his bag and pried open its mouth, tapping the mandibles a little as he determined that it was indeed dead and not playacting. Rhizen then cleared the rubble. Thanks to the impact, the stalactites had broken into a lot of rocks, so it was easy for him to clear them out.
Although, he was silent in his actions, unwilling to show the other two of what he was doing. Upon setting aside the rubble, he used the mechanical files to peel off the broken shells of the scorpion.
He then took out a cutting tool and cut open the soft flesh underneath, gently making the cuts in fear of the blood spill.
