On the third day of the journey, the 'Helpful Hand' Adventure Squad and the Norde adventurers stopped at a temporary camp to rest.
"Gary, why do you think there are so many mutated creatures in this world?" William sat on the grass, pinching a thumb-sized ant in his hand and curiously examining it in front of him.
This shiny silver ant has four pairs of legs, like a spider, and the extra pair of forelimbs are very special – like quartz, they can generate tiny sparks when rubbing against each other, just like flint.
The strange ant was helplessly wriggling on William's fingertip, constantly rubbing its forelimbs together, trying to use the bursting sparks as a threat to the 'giant' who held it.
But this move was futile, only inspiring greater curiosity in its captor.
