### 70

The Zagothal is totally blind and completely deaf. By using your Kai mastery to mask the scent and heat of your body, you manage to avoid the creature's attack and make your escape towards the distant rock wall. Here, you discover a fissure running vertically through the jet-black stone and are about to enter when the rustle and slither of unseen things echoing in the darkness makes you hesitate.

If you wish to enter the fissure, turn to 16.

If you prefer to continue your escape along the beach, turn to 173.
