Chapter 315: Ants Or Tanks?
Adrian cautiously followed the giant from a safe distance, hiding in the grass. But following the giant was easier said than done. Even though the guy was walking, it was taking every bit of Adrian’s strength and endurance to keep up with it.
He even got lost once or twice, but the Giant’s thunderous footsteps and massive stature helped him look for it. However, there were things that Adrian hadn’t accounted for and one of those threats was creeping up to him.
As he crept forward, his senses warned him about something. It was a subtle shift in the air, but that was enough to alert him. Adrian paused and slowly turned around. Forgetting about the giant, he focused his eyes on the grassy forest behind him. What he saw made his blood run cold.
Three enormous black ants were moving towards him. It would have been difficult to spot them in the dark, but their glossy bodies worked against them in the light and Adrian saw them.
Each ant was the size of a small car, with mandibles that clicked together menacingly as they advanced toward him. He had heard about the oversized insects on this floor, but seeing them up close was something else entirely.
’Fucking hell... what have they been feeding to these fuckers here?’
For a moment, Adrian considered hiding, but he quickly dismissed the idea. These ants didn’t rely solely on their eyesight; they had other ways of detecting prey.
Sure enough, the ants seemed to have noticed the foreign presence. Their antennae twitched as they picked up his scent. It was at that moment Adrian knew there was no escaping them.
"Great, just what I needed," Adrian muttered, pulling out his daggers.
Much like the ant’s exoskeleton, the blades also shone, giving away his position. Even though it put him at a disadvantage, Adrian had little time to spare. The longer he took to defeat them, the farther the giant would get.
The first ant lunged at him, its mandibles snapping shut with a loud crack as Adrian leaped to the side, narrowly avoiding the deadly bite.
