Nearly ten minutes passed before the Fire Ant finally moved.
It'd wrapped the corpses up in a strange nectar-like liquid before dragging them underground with it.
RUMBLE!
The ground shook as it burrowed back into the giant dark hole.
Within seconds, the massive B-rank creature had disappeared underground.
Even so, nobody wished to move yet.
Everyone simply stared at Nadia, who continued staring at the sand, waiting for her to give the signal.
Only after another two minutes passed did she finally raise her hand.
''Alright,'' she said. ''We move now.''
''Walk in pairs of two and make sure you follow my footsteps exactly.''
Everyone immediately nodded.
Before long, they slowly made their way down the dune towards the area where the ant had just been.
Unlike before, the Dragonfang and Imperial Church groups had changed places.
Theo's group, however, remained all the way at the back as per usual.
The closer they got, the more gruesome the scene became.
