The Silent 586

Under Vexara's command, the poisonous bugs worked in perfect coordination: venomous centipedes and scorpions cleared paths, while the fire ants swarmed ahead to search.

It didn't take long before the first person was found.

The Black Flag soldiers behind Nolan stepped forward and dug him out.

"Lucky break," Nolan remarked casually.

The first person they uncovered turned out to be the scout Nolan had sent earlier.

"I've got medicine," Eliza said. "Take him to the back, give him medicine, change his clothes, and get him something warm to eat. He should recover quickly."

"Got it." Two Black Flag soldiers immediately sprang into action.

Soon, the second, third, and fourth individuals were found one after another.

Eliza could sense the steady stream of signals from her poisonous bugs, each one marking another person located. But the freezing temperatures were starting to take a toll on her little helpers.

For creatures like centipedes, scorpions, and fire ants, this icy environment was far from ideal.

The cold weakened their movements, and if exposed for too long, it could even threaten their survival.

Eliza instructed Vexara to recall the first batch of struggling poisonous bugs and place them in the magical water stream within her pocket farm to recover. Meanwhile, the remaining poisonous bugs continued their search.
