章 68: Wolf Ants

The desert wind screamed like a banshee outside Noah's flimsy tent. Inside, nestled in his sleeping bag, he trembled despite the extra layer of clothing he had on. The thought of his warm, comfortable bed back in the forest called out to him, tempting him to abandon this self-imposed torment.

But Noah gritted his teeth. Giving up was not an option. Not when he was so close to earning ten valuable points in the Survival Test. Ten points that could help him maintain his place in the rankings for a moment.

However, what truly excited him was the untapped energy that pulsed through the desert - the promise of formidable creatures. Yes, they were more treacherous than the monsters he encountered in the outskirts, but the experience points they offered were an irresistible lure. Leveling up faster meant gaining more power, more opportunities, and gaining an advantage in this fiercely competitive world.
