The campsite had become silent once more. Both the rustling sound of creatures crawling on the ground and the buzzing of insects in the air had moved far away, and even the occasional rustling sounds from around had ceased to appear; the surging swarm seemed to have stilled the entire forest's sounds, leaving nothing but a dead silence after passing through.
"Crash," the crisp sound of shattering crystal broke the stagnant silence, also causing the air around to start flowing again. Pannis, too lazy to use the temperature to soften the resin barrier, simply smashed the closure outside the tree hollow with a punch and was the first to emerge from his room, hanging upside down from a branch and shouting, "Everyone come out, the insect storm is over. Vivian, hurry and reactivate the defense Array. There's plenty of work to do, let's hope we can finish it quickly."
