The Flower Is Finished Chapter 73: Insect Skin

We decided to continue the journey even though he was still doubtful but I tried to convince him that everything would be fine.

"You really will not leave here alone?" he asked again for the umpteenth ti but I nodded my head.

"Yes I will still take you out from here."

"Wait… I hear the sound of swords!" he said and I imdiately stopped my steps.

"Really?" I asked while trying to listen but I did not hear anything.

"You seriously do not hear it?" I shook my head.

"There must be soone here too." The child imdiately ran towards the source of the sound but I quickly chased after him.

I chased the child and imdiately grabbed his clothes. "Wait a mont… if sothing happens to you I do not want to be responsible." Instantly he pouted and looked at lazily.

"Alright. let go first!" he asked and I imdiately released my grip on his clothes.

"What is your na first?" I asked because I also had not asked his na. I also could not keep calling him boy and child again and again right?.

"My na is Daniel." He stretched out his hand.

"Is that really your real na?" I asked and he imdiately rolled his eyes lazily responding to my words.

"Yes just assu I believe it." "So why did you run?" I asked him and he imdiately pointed forward.

"I already told you that soone is fighting ahead do you not hear it?" I turned to the back where Michelle was on my back and she also shook her head.

"Do not lie little child." I said while rolling my eyes lazily and Daniel imdiately shook his head.

"Ckxkckckckckckckckc….. you think I am lying to both of you?" And both of us nodded.

"I am not lying. I hear soone fighting." Daniel explained but we nodded because we did not want to prolong the problem about what he heard before.

"Alright but can you follow my direction?" I asked. He nodded and after that he looked forward again I did not know what he saw actually but I remained silent because I also did not see anything and did not hear any sound like he said.

"Alright. Will you walk again with us?"

"Yes I will go with you." After that we continued the journey even though several tis he tried to say that he heard the sound of fighting but until now and this mont we did not hear anything except our footsteps and our breathing in this underground room.

My ears heard a sound and he walked slowly suddenly I imdiately stopped my steps and turned to the back.

"Do you hear sothing?" asked Michelle and I nodded because I also heard what Michelle heard.

My eyes looked around and saw what was happening in this room. This room is truly an underground room that does not have partitions or rooms so the path here is also narrow and the deeper we go the smaller the stairs we will pass.

Because the situation is very quiet and the road is stairs so we hurried to move away from the source of the sound because it is not possible for us to find out who that is surely that is not George and the others.

"We better hurry away from here." After that we imdiately ran fast trying quickly and also sotis looked back to see what happened but I gave up to keep moving forward I did not want sothing to happen to her.

We got further away from the source of the sound but the sound got closer to us and more and more whispering sounds so I imdiately stopped because it seems they were chasing the three of us and the more we ran the faster they chased us. "Wait is this not too fast if it is human?" said Michelle and I imdiately stopped because I just realized it too.

Because of the lack of light I could not see clearly around these walls but my eyes stopped when seeing sothing strange for .

"Is that animal skin?" I asked and I tried to approach the skin hanging on the walls. Michelle also looked carefully then my hand reached the skin hanging on the wall. I looked at it and it was true this is insect skin so most likely it is molted skin and it is insect skin.

"Damn… we have to hurry leave this." after that we hurried quickly to leave this underground room because it seems they have chased us.

While running I suddenly saw clothes lying on the ground I imdiately stopped and told Daniel to take the clothes. "Wait… there is clothing below." "Can you take it Daniel?" Then Daniel took the clothes and gave it to . I looked carefully this is George's clothes. George also passed this place but where did he go now I asked softly because I really rembered his last clothes and now the clothes are in my hand.

"Are you sure that is George's clothes?" asked Michelle and I nodded because I really rembered his clothes that he wore the last ti before we separated.

"Was he eaten by those insects?" Daniel's question made narrow my eyes and looked at him.

"It is not possible. If so then there should be blood splattered on this wall right?" I said because I was sure about that.

But before we could think suddenly those creatures were already in front of us. We were shocked realizing that those insects were already around us. How could they chase us so fast and why are they already in front of us.

"What is this?" said Daniel while approaching and he was also very scared looking at the insects in front of us. One by one the insects beca more and more and the sound beca louder as if telling that they had found us.

"Xanders, what should we do?" asked Michael because she was also afraid and Daniel held my clothes.

"Uncle what should we do too?" I also did not know because this was my first ti seeing such large insects and in big numbers in front of us and they looked like creatures that could easily devour us.

"Can you protect Daniel?" I said to Michelle and Michelle shook her head because she also could not do anything because she was poisoned so her vision was a bit blurry.

"Can you use a dagger Daniel?" I felt I had no other choice but to tell Daniel how to survive and he nodded so I took a deep breath because at least Daniel could use the dagger that Michelle still carried.

"Give the dagger to Daniel?" I said and Michelle nodded. I reached her thigh where the dagger was and took it then gave it to Daniel.

"Use this dagger if those insects attack you." I warned Daniel and he nodded.

"I trust you friend!" "Can you handle it Michelle?" I asked and Michelle shook her head.

"I cannot Xanders." There was no other choice I had to attack and defend. I drew my sword and started slashing the insects one by one but instead of decreasing they beca more and so almost attacked Michelle and Daniel.

"There is no other choice but to fight them." "Hiya… hiya… hiya… srang… srang… srang…" "Jleb… jleb… jleb… jleb…."

I was almost bitten but I stabbed its eye and its scream beca louder. The insects never stopped coming so Daniel started to get overwheld but one of them attacked from behind so I kicked it but I slipped on the stairs and fell along with Michelle and Daniel looked terrified at the insects.

The insects chased us. "Daniel I rely on you." I looked at him briefly and Daniel looked back in fear.

Now we were surrounded and I could not see Daniel anymore.

"What should we do?" asked Michelle in fear and I was also confused because I had no weapon except my sword.

"Are you alright?" I asked Michelle because we fell rolling down and our bodies hurt especially our tailbone.

"A bit. But our lives are in danger now!" "He….." before she finished suddenly a scream was heard from above and I imdiately looked and saw fire burning brightly.

"Aaaaaaa…….." Ctassss

Suddenly the insects flew above us and we followed where they fell.

I did not know what happened but sothing strange made them move away towards Daniel and one by one left us.

"What is happening?" asked Michelle while holding her waist. I stood up and tried to help her stand but she could not.

"Let help you!" I said but she stopped and shook her head and sat again.

"My legs cannot stand and I cannot feel them."

"Do not scare Michelle!" I shook my head but she kept trying to stand.

"It seems the poison has spread to the legs." I said trying to calm her but she looked sadly at her legs.

"Let carry you again." She stayed silent then shook her head and told to guide her to the stairs where Daniel was.

I had no choice so I nodded and walked slowly towards Daniel.

When I got closer suddenly I saw soone I knew and I was shocked seeing his body full of wounds.

One by one the insects were destroyed by George and he looked at after killing them all.

"George… is that you?" I shouted loudly. George was still facing away and he did not realize my presence yet.
