CRUNCH!
The sound echoed through the chamber, drawing immediate reactions from everyone present.
Several people flinched.
Others gulped.
Then came a moment of complete silence.
The unfortunate—or perhaps fortunate—individual responsible for that crunching sound stood frozen for a heartbeat before dramatically collapsing onto the floor.
Only for the crowd to suddenly erupt in what was a combination of cheers and questionable instigation.
"Again!"
"Next!"
"Hurry!"
The reactions came from every direction as people pushed forward to witness the spectacle for themselves. Some laughed. Others stared with unconcealed anticipation. A few looked ready to drag the next volunteer forward if necessary.
To say they were excited would have been a severe understatement.
After all, they only needed a single bite.
Yes. Just one.
That was all it took to render even the strongest among them weak in the knees.
