After waking up in the treehouse it became clear that Zack and the girls almost wake up at the same time.
As the four walked to the cave wich they decided was for the insects untill there was no room and they would have multiple patrols and other places for the insects to live but something weird had happened to one of the wasps.
It looked weird it had instead of yellow and black strippes it had red and black strippes as soon as Rachel saw this she was beyond happy and excited.
One of the wasps had mutated it is something rare that can occur in the legions but because the insect legion is able to reproduce faster than other legions it is much easier to find Priya had explained this to Zack when he asked about enemy legions.
"So i understand its good but what has changed except the color?" Zack asked Rachel he was curious about the things that changed in the wasp.
"It has a stronger body so it won't die as easily." Rachel told Zack with a lot of excitement.
After everything calmed down they had to discuss a few things.
"So i understand that all of us want to get to the mosquito but after that one attack i want to know what legion could be there?" Zack asked he did want to take any changes this time.
"The highest change are the reptile and amphibian legion but i mean it also depends on luck if they are there or not." Priya told him.
In Zack's understanding it was bassicly a roll of the dice and it did not matter if they wait or not.
"Since we bassicly have enough to make the trip the where Hazel was located and then a extra 10 kilometers and hope not to sleep or to find anywhere while we are there it should be a easy in and out mission.
So everyone grabbed what they needed for the trip and left.
Rachel took 6 wasps as she wanted to wait longer before taking a big number of them and she did not take the one with a mutation.
Priya took like normal more then Rachel and had 20 centipedes.
And then Hazel took 4 locust it was the same reason as Rachel had for not taking more and Zack also needed to make them bigger wich he did and they become just as big as the wasps that he made bigger and after that he made the other insects who needed to be larger larg so they could leave.
They already told the insects where to wait and then follow them from the forest next to the road.
When to got to the city the guards seemed to have relaxed again and they entered to city without even being seen by the guards and also left the city without the guard seeing them wich was a bit concerning to Hazel but also helped them so she did not think about it to much.
As they were walking to the Starforrest village they encounter where they had killed the previous bandits and just continued walking to the village when they got there the sun was already rising again as they had walked through the night even though the girls told Zack he could rest if he needed he declines their offer.
So they did just like last time and entered the forest although this time they did not need to look for long because they remember where Hazel was and then had walk the 10 kilometers to the swamp as they got closer it became more muddy.
When they finally entered the swamp they know needed to find their way to where the mosquito is.
"Don't worry i will lead us there or atleast close to it." Hazel told them and walked infront with her locusts.
The girls took the hood of their cloak off so the could look around easier.
As they are walking through the swamp they did not find anything that would suggest a legion was around.
"What are the chances that we find someone from a different legion and i dont mean reptile or amphibian legion?" Zack asked the girls.
"The chance is always there but i dont think we will find one of the canine or feline legion why do you ask?" Rachel told him she was looking around more incase he saw someone from a different legion.
"I was just curious about it." Zack told her which calmed Rachel down a little and she nodded.
Just he was about to take his next step Priya quickly pulled him back "Watch your step." She said as she pointed to the ground.
On the ground was a snake and Zack almost stepped on it and that would have been very dangerous if the snake was venomous atleast so Zack quickly made sure he did not step on the snake.
Without that almost incident out the way the continued forward although be it a bit more carefully.
As they kept walking they had to walk over a tree that was over the water.
"I take it no one want to swim?" Hazel asked teasingly.
"And get bit by a alligator or something no thanks i am good." Zack asked and the other two girls nodded with Zack so they had to walk over the tree to get to the other side.
As Zack was walking over the tree he was silently praying that his balance was good enough because he did not want to get wet in this place.
Lucky he did not fall in but as he got off one of his feet sunk into mud and that almost made him faceplant into the ground he quickly pulled his foot out and walked a little bit further.
His left foot was covered in mud up to his ankle although annoyed it was better than falling in the water.
Priya and the centipedes easily got over the tree and Rachel just flew over and Hazel coppied Rachel at was at that point he was a little jealous of the fact that he had no wings but he did not dwell on the fact long as he could try and get wings with some blood.
As they kept walking forward Zack noticed something weird.
"Hey i have a quick question?" Zack told them.
"Well go ahead ask it." Hazel told him.
"Have you noticed that we are being followed from the water?" Zack asked her and this stopped Hazel and the other girls in their track.
They had not realized it yet and when they look towards the water there were ripples in the water so what ever it was it was close to the surface.
As they kept a close look at the water a alligator surface and and was coming towards them.
As soon as it came on land Zack walked towards it as soon as he was close enough he threw his daggers and it impladed the skull of the alligator thus hitting piercing part of his brain and killing it Zack retrieved his dagger.
"Problem solved i guess." Zack said to the girls who nodded they were a bit suprised at how easily he killed the alligator.
