### 58

You sweep the yawning void but with no success. Suddenly the footsteps halt. You hear a piercing crack like that of a whip, and an angry red weal opens across the back of your hand (lose 2 ENDURANCE points). You feel his presence, but you cannot see the enemy who dealt you this wound.

If you wish to continue to search for a crossing, turn to 44.

If you wish to stand and fight your unseen enemy, turn to 257.
