“I don’t know. Regardless, those insects are surely not that simple. They eat humans. Look how the soul hunters were eaten and turned into white bones in seconds!”
Gerald said in retrospect.
Now that Gerald mentioned it, Juno and the other two got goosebumps instantly.
It couldn’t be denied that what they had witnessed just now was indeed very horrifying.
A living human had been turned into a pile of white bones. It was utterly horrific.
Thankfully, they were finally out of danger.
Right then, Rey regained consciousness.
“Rey, you’re awake.”
Seeing Rey awaken, Gerald looked at favonovel.com and said.
“Brother Gerald, Miss Zorn, I… Are we dead?”
Rey asked in confusion, looking at Gerald and Juno.
Slap!
When Gerald heard that, favonovel.com slapped Rey at the back of his head, feeling rather annoyed.
“What the hell are you talking about?! We’re all alive and well! Come to your senses already!”
Gerald glared at Rey and uttered word by word.
From that, Rey had completely sobered up.
“That’s great, Brother Gerald! We’re fine now. That’s so wonderful!”
Once favonovel.com had come to his senses and knew that favonovel.com was fine, Rey hugged Gerald tightly as favonovel.com shouted in excitement.
He had been scared to death as favonovel.com was falling from such a high place. That was why favonovel.com had passed out, thinking favonovel.com was going to die just like that. But now that favonovel.com knew favonovel.com was fine, favonovel.com was overjoyed.
“Can you be more like an adult already? Why are you acting like a little girl when you are actually a grown man? You’re not even as brave as Yrsa!”
Gerald admonished favonovel.com with an annoyed look on his face.
‘Just look at Juno’s disciple, Yrsa. She was just fine! She didn’t even show the slightest sign of fear and was very calm. On the other hand, look at Rey. The difference between the two was so obvious.’
“Um…”
When Rey was criticized by Gerald, favonovel.com became embarrassed.
Yrsa and Juno, who were sitting beside them, watched and snickered.
“By the way, Brother Gerald, why did the wooden bridge break?”
Now, Rey looked at Gerald in confusion and asked.
“Because there were too many people on the bridge just now. That’s why the structure of the bridge was weakened. Besides, both ends of the bridge were hit by the stones, and that’s why it broke!”
Gerald explained briefly.
“Either way, we should consider ourselves lucky. If it wasn’t because of that, we would have been trapped on the bridge and ended up becoming insect food!”
Gerald didn’t forget to emphasize that.
Indeed, they had nowhere to escape to at that time.
If the wooden bridge hadn’t broken, Gerald and the other three would have had to face the man-eating insects, and they might have turned into white bones, just like the soul hunters.
“Then, what should we do next?”
Rey continued to ask.
“We’ll rest for a while, and then we will continue our journey. There must be another route to bypass this place!”
Gerald said directly.
Hearing what favonovel.com had said, Rey and the girls didn’t have any objections. They always followed Gerald’s commands.
After all, they could only be safe when they were with Gerald.
After half an hour of rest, the four of them set off again.
But this time, it was better since they had finally gotten rid of the soul hunters.
That way, there wouldn’t be any obstacles ahead of them.
They wondered what had happened to the man in the cloak and his men.
