Brother Wolf and Firecracker lifted up the miner who was still not fully able to stand on his own legs and followed behind Li Du.
Li Du cautioned, "Careful, keep an eye out for these ants and make sure you stay away from them."
Young Markelov asked, "Boss, what kind of ants are these? I've never seen anything like it before."
Li Du shook his head. "I'm not sure, but they don't look like the kind you should be playing around with."
Li Du did not know what kind of ants these were but he was certain that they should stay away from them because these were the ants he saw when he turned back time on the tools in the mining hole.
Back then, he did not pay close attention to those ants and what the deal with them was. However, now that they had appeared — and poisoned a worker with just one bite, no less — it dragged that memory to the surface and made him think that they could have possibly been what scared the people away from the mining hole.
