In the evening, the already gloomy sky began to drizzle.
The rain could wash away the scents exhaled from spiracles, greatly reducing the likelihood of being discovered and tracked—a perfect kind of weather for jungle infiltration.
As night fell, Dragon Cypress signaled to Ink Orchid to set out.
Dragon Cypress ran ahead.
Ink Orchid activated her talent ability, merging into the dark forest, following behind.
Skirting the perimeter where Origin Force was thin, they circled halfway around and arrived in the southeast direction, heading toward the ridge lands.
Before entering the Land of Origin Force, still some distance from the ridges, Dragon Cypress halted.
Ink Orchid appeared.
Ahead was a vast area neatly planted with pine trees, with a few fallen ones vaguely visible—obviously the work of insects.
Getting closer to inspect, the break points were neat and very fresh, toppled just in the past day or two.
"Dragon Cypress, there really are Insect Clan warriors gathered here."
