Chapter 27: The journey
--
"We are going to a place called Dark Ravine," Vex said simply. "Our job is to collect some materials and rare herbs. Kill as many beasts as possible."
The Dark Ravine was a dangerous zone outside the Ant Kingdom. It was filled with massive insect predators, rogue ants, and even mutant creatures that had evolved in the wild.
Kai knew instantly—this was a death sentence.
"Your job is simple," Vex continued. "Carry our supplies. Don’t fall behind. And if we get into a fight... stay out of the way. Just learn from us how we fight."
Kai nodded slowly. He wasn’t going to argue. Not yet.
Vex smirked. "Good. Move out!"
The hunting team marched forward, leaving the safety of the kingdom behind. Kai took one last glance at the massive walls of the Ant Kingdom. Then he stepped into the unknown.
The deeper they moved into the wildlands, the more unnatural everything felt.
