Bab 910: Ambush and chance encounter

The night was as dark as ink. The hills in the West of Koland were uneven, with ridges and low ravines intertwining with each other. There were woods and shrubs in the mountains and ravines, mixed with some shallow trenches, rivers, and creeks. Extending from the hills, one would see a grassland and a huge swamp.

In a patch of grass, a Viper pierced its venomous fangs into a rat's body in the dark. When the Viper started to eat today's delicious food, several fireflies flew over from the direction of the swamp. They slowly crossed the grass and came to the hilly area.

In this dark wilderness, there were many insects like fireflies everywhere. Therefore, the fireflies that flew from the swamp area were flying slowly, gathering and scattering at times, wandering around without attracting anyone's attention.
