53 A clear conscience

Although Ren Xiaosu had been venturing into the wilderness for many years, he had not heard of face bugs before, let alone seen them.

Ren Xiaosu was still calm and composed when he faced ants and termites. That was because if he did not have any bloody scent on him, the large ants nowadays would not show any special interest in him.

But these face bugs were terrifying. It was obvious they wanted to eat people!

As the canyon was really windy most of the time, nobody knew where these face bugs usually hid. Now that they'd spotted their prey, they were turning out in full force.

Was this what the wolves were afraid of? If Ren Xiaosu had known that there were so many of these face bugs in the canyon, he would not have come in no matter what. This time, he didn't even bother taking the rat.
