Chapter 49
The group falls into a focused silence, each scout internalizing Nyx's words and preparing mentally for the challenges ahead. As the sun begins to set and the forest is bathed in the soft glow of twilight, the team waits patiently for the cover of night to proceed with their mission.
Nyx, vigilant and alert, scans the area, trying to recall the exact location of the anthill he had encountered earlier. The memory of the distinctive landscape features and his own markings guide him as he leads the group deeper into the forest.
Under the cloak of darkness, the scouts move stealthily, their senses heightened and their movements calculated. The sounds of the nocturnal forest creatures create a natural symphony, masking their presence as they navigate through the dense undergrowth.
