/Abilities/
All he saw on this creature, was the creature's race and name. And then he saw this .....???
this meant that this thing was by far too strong for him to handle.
Just then, the human like creature looked his way.
Lenny had very quick reflex, and he had hidden in time.
However, the creature's human like face frowned, and it directed the giant wasp it was flying on towards their hiding place.
Steadily, it got closer, and even lenny could tell that this was not going to end well.
After all, he had used Surveyor
But just when it would reach, the antenna's on its head suddenly turned in the direction the Horde was moving.
There was the sudden scream of a man in that direction.
The Human like Chimera ant gave what should be a smile, but looked like the forbiddance of an horror movie coming into reality.
It immediately flew in that direction.
After it left, it took another twelve minutes before the horde had fully left the place.
Lenny and the orders waited until the last crawling insect had passed.
There were thousands of this giant creatures.
Even for Lenny, it was not an appreciable sight.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
After they were gone, they opened the exit and came out.
"we cannot go back the same way. it will be filled with insects. we have to follower a longer safer route." Bugger advised. Lenny nodded to his suggestion.
"we also have to hide out scent."
Before Lenny could even ask about this, he saw the two women reach for some of the glowing moss on the wall.
This moss was carefully selected. They rubbed it all over their bodies.
Bugger also joined them.
Naturally, Lenny joined them.
Lenny had to squeeze and rub a lot more on his body because of the smell of blood on him.
After they were done, Bugger led them through a longer route.
Even though this route was meant to be safer, they still encountered another four Chimera ants that were patrolling the area.
all of which Lenny had never seen before.
Fortunately, this place was Bugger's home and he was most familiar with these creatures.
With a combined effort of the both of them, they killed the chimera ants.
Lenny used these time to ask some questions about the colony and even the creatures they just killed.
Most of those questions Bugger answered. Like the parts of the Chimera ants that were edible and if the ants they had just killed was edible.
Seeing that they were, Lenny kept the parts of them that were edible into his storage.
for the most part, it was the hearts.
He learned that regardless of tastes, the hearts of this creatures was their center, and far more valuable than any of their other parts.
Also, the effects on humans also differed.
These were things Lenny already guessed but getting a confirmation helped a lot.
Along the way, he length more about the colony, insects that even Bugger would stay away from and places to get fresh water to drink.
All these, Lenny took note of.
After all, to quench his thirst, he had been drinking the fluids from the body of the insects all these while.
However, any time he asked questions about the human looking insects, Bugger would go zipped on the subject matter.
In this manner, they continued on their journey until they reached the village in another four hours.
This was many times a longer journey than when they left.
The moment they got to the village, the villagers rejoiced at their return.
Old man Buckle continually thanked Lenny for his hard work. And he even invited Lenny over for a meal.
Although the villagers were happy for the arrival of their old grand mother, they were sad when they heard that two of their women had died.
Lenny noticed that old man buckle did not seem to be moved by this.
With how Old man Buckle had insisted that Lenny saved this old woman, Lenny thought that this man had some form of 'parental loving bond'. But he did not seem to care.
Regardless, they was a small celebration and old man buckle personal served Lenny a bowl of food.
Lenny was about to take the food to his mouth. However, he paused. On the system, he could still see that the Hidden quest about the Village of gladiators was still valid.
Lenny smiled, and then he ate the food.
Only on the first bite, he fell on his side.
Old man buckle stood over him with a smile on his face...
