Chapter 314: Plan Overturned

The sun was blazing, with the constant chirping of cicadas.

Anim, who came from Afeilica, left his hometown far behind for the first time, and realized what being a frog in a well meant.

'Afeilica' symbolizes 'blazing sun', and Anim had always believed that his black skin was a gift from God, to help him withstand such scorching heat.

However...

It was only at this moment that he realized his once-prided skin could only protect him from the UV rays, but provided no defense against the relentless high temperatures.

"Huff...huff...huff..."

As his breathing grew more and more rapid, Anim found that his vision began to warp. His unstable steps led to him collapsing to the ground 'bang', and his consciousness sank into darkness.

"Oink?"

Hearing the movements behind him, the spiky hedgehog who had been hunting for startled cicadas in front turned around subconsciously.
