Chapter 20 - Surviving

Igris stomach grumbled as he hadn't eaten for who knows how long , he need to find food ,

and a place to stay and it was getting dark , looking at holes in the abdomen

of the crocodile, Igris had an idea.

He removed his robe and Lay it on the ground , then , he

entered into one of the holes on the crocodile and began carving out huge

chunks of meat,

He started by removing the surface that had contact with the

ants mandibles …considering it's still an insect he assumed there might have

been little traces of venom or toxins injected to the crocodile from the ant

during the fight

After cutting out the outer part , he began carving out the part

he would be taking with him , the inside was quite soft compared to it's scaled

for skin,

After carving , keeping the meat on his jacket , he

proceeded to tie the cloth with the meat inside ,

"Ahhh"

 Igris let out a sigh

or relief

" well that covers my dinner , Now for a place to stay

tonight"

Igris said as he looked around for a nice cave or at least

where he could build something ,

Suddenly the ground started to vibrate and tremble, it

sounded like an army or giants were coming , trees were falling down as the

path was getting destroyed, and before he knew it,

An army Of giant ants were right in front of him , and one

particular one in front leading them,

As if he didn't matter , they directed crocodile like it was

paper , and each took part, it was shared amongst 5 of them , and they each

listed the part assigned to them with their mandibles ,

Igris had secured his own side and was having a firm grip on

it , ready to jump off the cliff at any time , he knew he couldn't , but still

kept the jumping as the last resort .

They packed every huge chunk of flesh and the whole group of

ant left the way they came

Immediately the ants turned and left, Igris had a loud roar

, and with that a howl, laughing of a hyena many other sounds of supposed apex

predators of the forest, Igris was afraid

"If the ants were that big , I wonder what size a lion or

tiger might be " This very thought sent chills down his spine

As usual he went to the edge of the cliff to stay, so he can

easily jump Incase of emergencies,

"it's been awhile why am I not seeing the forest tremble and

the ground shake "

Igris thought, it's weird that after the initial roars ,

considering how big the animals were in the real world , they should be even

bigger in size considering that even a tiny ant could beat a crocodile

effortlessly.

Igris saw a group of rats run out of the forest and towards

the corpse of the crocodile, at least the remnants left by the ants.

'Heaw"

He heaved a sigh of relief, they are just rats , if rats

could freely move around , that meant there were no apex predators around ,

By this time , the sun was already setting and it was imperative

he find a place to sleep and fast , and even more import , that he finds a

place to make fire and cook this meat, the fact he has successfully secured food

for the night was making him really happy,

Walking past the group of rats he saw earlier , Igris turned to

look at them scavenging for pieces of meat.

**Grasps**

"That isn't a rat , wait those are not rats , what am I witnessing

right now "

After all he had seen today ,there was still something surprising

enough to shock Igris

Those are little animals, that's a tiny tiger , a pack of

tiny wolves, a tiny lion and so
