The tether tightened before I could take a step back.
Pain ripped through the bite and pulled my leg toward the chamber. Yuche caught my arm before I crossed the broken wall, but the Devourer pulled again hard enough that my boot slid through the dirt.
Apparently, it had missed me.
I couldn't say the feeling was mutual.
Every collector inside the chamber stopped moving. Bodies and bags hit the ground as the zombies turned away from the feeding pit and faced the opening where we stood.
Lingyun's fire spread over both arms.
The closest collectors charged.
Half-Jaw passed me before any of the guys could move. He collided with the first zombie inside the opening, driving both claws through its face as the rest of my horde forced itself down the tunnel behind him.
The chamber filled with dead bodies fighting over who had the right to keep me.
I was becoming extremely popular.
