"What happened?"
Collins, under Theron's protection, stepped closer to Zale. By now they were a considerable distance from the grassland. Zale placed a hand over his left chest in salute to Collins before answering:
"Just now the vegetation on the grassland suddenly withered, and the pressure coming from Kaelen and Sane was enormous. I've already evacuated everyone in time."
Collins gripped his staff and looked toward the grassland. The grassland was vast, yet he could clearly see the enormous vine cage in the middle. He then raised his head to the sky. The swirling vortex looked as though it was about to pour down a colossal waterfall; the pressure it emitted could not be underestimated.
Collins's face was filled with worry. He said in a low voice, "This distance probably isn't safe enough. Even the tribe might be affected. Zale, take the team leaders and evacuate all the clansmen to the new valley. Temporarily house them in the completed houses."
