The medicine would not take effect so quickly. After all, this forest was huge. Perhaps many flying ants would not touch those people at all, but a single one of them would cause a chain reaction.
Without other backup, Silin had to complete the preliminary preparations in order to obtain victory in this hunt. Along the way, Silin would spray the medicine whenever he came across a nest of flying ants, allowing the flying ants to carry the medicine crystals into the depths of the forest and increase his chances of success.
Silin was not in a hurry. Black Thorn's men did not tell him why they wanted him to come within an hour, so he was patiently making preparations.
From the moment he received the message to the moment he snuck into the forest, Silin took less than fifty minutes in total. It was twice as fast as Seven Lights' direct flying car. The place marked on the map was the depths of the forest, and there was no way they could reach there in ten minutes. Moreover, the other party's goal was obviously not here. The reason they told Silin an hour was so that Silin would not have the time to look for help. As long as they could see Silin's figure within an hour, those people would not care about Theresa. After all, Silin was their biggest target.
They did not have any way to contact him. They knew that Silin had reached the forest, but they did not show up to explain, negotiate, or communicate with him. They only had one goal, and that was to kill Silin. The other places in Seven Lights were closely monitored by the security squads, so this was the best place to settle things.
Time passed slowly, but Eagle Thorn did not discover any trace of Silin at all. It was as if he had vanished into thin air. After discovering no abnormalities in the surroundings, Eagle Thorn was about to contact his companions when he raised his hand and discovered that there were a few flying ants on his arm. He shook them off with a light shake, but this was just the beginning. One after another, flying ants flew towards him. His arm, his pants, his back, his mask; flying ants began to fall everywhere.
Due to the hasty operation this time, Eagle Thorn did not know this forest well. He thought that he might have accidentally run into a nest of flying ants, so he retreated dozens of meters back. But the situation did not improve. The number of flying ants landing on his mask grew, and it seriously interfered with Eagle Thorn's vision. Just as he was about to wipe it off, Eagle Sting suddenly felt a sense of danger. This was an instinct that had been cultivated from many years of experience.
Eagle Thorn quickly jumped away from where he was and dodged a few times. However, the angles of the needles flying toward him were too tricky, and they were not in a straight line. They were very fast, and Eagle Thorn managed to dodge the first few needles. However, one of the needles still managed to pierce through his arm and cut through his skin, leaving two holes in his camouflage suit.
It was a kind of needle with three sharp points protruding from three sides. However, when these needles pierced into tree trunks or hit rocks, they would shatter, then slowly melt and disappear.
As Eagle Thorn moved swiftly, he took out some medicine and sprayed it on the wound. The medicine quickly formed a layer of membrane around the wound, sealing it and preventing blood from flowing out. It also kept the wound under control so that even if the needle was poisoned, it would not spread too quickly.
Eagle Thorn's reaction speed could not be said to be slow, and his movements were also very skillful. He almost did not make a sound, and with a few flashes, he hid behind a large tree, keeping an eye on his surroundings.
He still did not discover the other party!
Eagle Thorn did not dare to be careless. People nowadays preferred to use guns, and even their Black Thorn preferred to use guns to finish off their targets. However, Eagle Thorn also knew that anyone who could use such an ancient hidden weapon was obviously not a pushover. In fact, Eagle Thorn even felt that Silin was more like a killer. He was silent, calm, and hiding in an even darker place, watching them.
However, Eagle Thorn was only wary of Silin, and ignored the flying ants that were landing on his body one after another. The wound was sealed with medicine, but the two holes on the camouflage suit provided the flying ants with a convenient way to enter.
Eagle Thorn was starting to feel that something was wrong. The biting of the flying ants was itchy and painful, and it was starting to spread all over his body. One after another, the flying ants landed on Eagle Thorn's body in search of entry points. His shoes, his trousers, the holes that were pierced, and so on.
In order to prevent himself from being ambushed again, Eagle Thorn endured the discomfort that was a mixture of pain and itch. He tried his best to calm himself down and ignore those feelings, but he found it harder and harder to control his emotions. Eagle Thorn hoped that Silin would act quickly, so that he could move a little and shake off those flying ants. However, Silin did not move at all after that, just like a hunter quietly watching a trapped beast struggle.
The flying ants' venom was not fatal, but it would stimulate a person's nerves and make them feel anxious. Now, Eagle Thorn was clearly developing in the direction of anxiety.
Eagle Thorn knew that the other party was waiting for the moment when he could not endure it any longer and would deliver a fatal blow. However, the feeling of being bitten by thousands of flying ants was truly worse than death. If it was a normal person, they would have long since given up and would rather commit suicide than endure such torture.
His mask was full of sweat. Eagle Thorn did not know how long he could endure it, the venom had already begun to stimulate his nerves. Eagle Thorn gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and ran far away in a flash. Running without a fixed path would allow him to better avoid being targeted by the other party.
He had to get rid of those flying ants inside his mask first, or else he would definitely be the one to lose if this dragged on.
A flying ant bit through the breathing hole on his mask and crawled in, burrowing into Eagle Thorn's nostrils. Eagle Thorn's sprinting footsteps came to a halt, and it was also in this instant that a needle pierced through his throat.
The fresh blood made these flying ants even more excited, because the flowing blood had a scent that they liked. More and more flying ants landed on Eagle Thorn's body, densely covering the surface of Eagle Thorn's body.
Eagle Thorn soon stopped breathing.
After determining that Eagle Thorn had lost all signs of life, Silin scuttled out and walked to Eagle Thorn's side.
Eagle Thorn was wearing a special camouflage suit that was infrared resistant and would change color depending on the environment. Eagle Thorn had a silenced gun in his hands, but Silin did not touch it. This gun had been modified, and there was a miniature self-destruct device installed inside. Silin did not want to keep a bomb by his side.
Silin found another infrasonic gun on Eagle Thorn's body, and put it away after giving it a look. He could take this one.
In the depths of the forest, Tiger Thorn's expression was very gloomy, because the light dot representing Eagle Thorn on his lifewatch the size of a pocket watch had gone out, which meant that Eagle Thorn was dead.
"Eagle Thorn has fallen!"
"How is this possible!" Brown Thorn ran over and looked at the lifewatch in Tiger Thorn's hands. Looking at the extinguished light dot, Brown Thorn paused for a moment, "I'll go take care of that guy." Since even Eagle Thorn had fallen, then the others might not necessarily be able to get away with it. He could only do it himself.
The person beside Tiger Thorn stopped Brown Thorn and said, "No need, Brown Thorn. I'll go with Snake Thorn. There's no need for you to do anything."
Tiger Thorn nodded in agreement.
After the two of them left, Tiger Thorn looked at another extinguished light dot on his lifewatch and turned to look at Theresa, who was lying on the ground.
