Chapter 116: Emergency Retreat

After a night's rest on the tenth evening, they embarked on the journey of the eleventh day. Everyone packed up their belongings and descended the hill together, setting off towards the frontier. If all went well, they would reach a city, now reduced to ruins, in one to two days' time.

Along the way, they spotted many animal skeletons. It was clear what had happened: the ant swarms' feast from the other night. Faced with the harsh laws of nature, they could not help but sigh.

Suddenly, Xu Haowen noticed a skeleton on the side of the road that resembled a human. On his word, everyone stopped to have a closer look.

From its structure, it did look somewhat human. Had someone unfortunate enough to cross paths with the ant swarms been here that night? But looking at its skull, its head was sharp, not quite like a human. They were puzzled about what it could be; even the knowledgeable Professor Luo could not figure it out.
