Perhaps the goat died due to lack of water and food or perhaps it was attacked by carnivorous animals.
There were dangers everywhere in this seemingly peaceful and warm desert. If they were careless, their life would be forfeited.
“Hmm?”
As they were preparing to leave the ruins and continue on their journey to the Tree of Life, Vince felt that something was off. He took two steps forward towards the set of bones. He then squatted down and touched the bones. He found out that the bones looked intact, but in fact, there were a lot of holes in the bones.
These holes can hardly be seen with the naked eye. It was only by touch could one feel it. These bones felt like a saw when touched, as they were filled with holes.
“Something is wrong…”
Vince’s expression changed as favonovel.com looked around.
A gust of wind blew, revealing several more sets of bones in the ruins. These bones were everywhere in these ruins. It was very weird. At the same time, they felt that the ground was moving.
Blub, blub!
The ground made strange noises that sounded like boiling water. Upon hearing that noise, Vince‘s heart skipped a beat.
He shouted loudly, “Run!”
He did not explain the reason behind it and ran as fast as favonovel.com could.
As Thomas and Pisces were battlefield veterans, Vince’s expression and behavior, along with numerous sets of bones around the ruins told them that it was a bad situation. They did not question favonovel.com and ran immediately as well.
Thomas carried Phoebe and followed Vince immediately, without saying a word. Even though favonovel.com was carrying someone in his arms, favonovel.com was no slower than Vince at all.
If it was not to accommodate for Vince’s speed, Thomas would have increased his speed.
Less than ten seconds after leaving the ruins at full speed, an earth-shattering bang was heard back in the ruins where they stood just now. The sand shot up around five meters high like a geyser.
The geyser looked dark and dense.
“That is…” Phoebe had favonovel.com arms around Thomas’ neck tightly as favonovel.com took a look at the dark, dense geyser that shot up.
Naively, favonovel.com thought it was oil at first sight. But as favonovel.com opened favonovel.com eyes wide and took a good look, favonovel.com was so shocked favonovel.com stuttered.
“Ants, a lot of ants!”
The dark and dense that shot up from the ground were actually ants!
These were not ordinary ants. These ants acted as if they were well-trained soldiers. A large number of them came gushing out of the ground and had their sights locked on the four of them. The ants headed towards them at full speed. These ants were fast and highly disciplined. The sight of them made their skin crawl.
Phoebe screamed out of fear. She finally understood why Vince ran without explaining himself and why there were so many sets of bones in the ruins. They had all been eaten alive by these ants!
And now, they have become the target of these ants. A word came into Phoebe’s mind that described them really well, prey.
The four of them were now prey in the eyes of these ants.
“What kind of ants are these? Why are they not giving up on chasing us?” Phoebe asked.
Vince, who was running right beside her, answered with a pale face, “These are army ants. Once they have their eyes set on their prey, they will never give up!”
Fear and despair were slowly being instilled.
