Bloodthirsty Ants

After resting for some time and filling their stomachs, the refugees made their way toward the Aila Mountain Pass, their hope restored. Yang Ling had not given them very much, but it was enough to last them ten days if they planned well. The tribesman sent to notify Casey had already set off. As long as they found a way to hunt along the way to replenish their energy, they would be able to last until the soldiers at the outpost at the Aila Mountain Pass could help.

Seeing his tribesmen leave full of hope, the white bearded old man, whose name was Lubnick, became more at ease. He and a few of his tribesmen guided Yang Ling and his group to the forest of Arrow Bamboo. They passed through a wide span of hills, and crossed through a lush maple forest. They got further and further away.
