After getting close to the tall tree, Lucian only observed it for a minute, then he decided to climb it.
Using the holes present in it, he began to climb. The branches were pretty high up, so he had to climb a few meters.
Just when he was about to reach one of the branches, Lucian gripped one of the holes, but he felt as if his finger had brushed against something.
Before he could even retract his hand, he felt a tearing pain over his fingers.
Lucian forcefully pulled his hand back and saw tiny black-colored insects crawling into his skin and eating away his flesh.
BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ
It was not just one or two insects but several dozens of them. Within a second, Lucian's hand was bleeding, and tiny holes appeared all over his fingers and palm.
"Fuck?! GET AWAY… Ughhhhhh" With a curse, Lucian jerked his hand several times, but it was no use.
