Chapter 87

Kate just stood there calmly, watching an animal's head suddenly rise from the bushes.

It looks like a deer.

The pair of clear eyes were looking at the group of people strangely, and the deer was chewing leaves hurriedly in its mouth.

Hua looked at the deer in front of her, and her face felt tight and stiff.

It is clear that there were no wild animals in the forest except humans a while ago. If we have to say what else there were, it would be insects and ants.

Because if there were a wild animal, the ants she met would not be so abstract.

It couldn't be that she was just unlucky and all the people she met were a mixture of humans, ants and insects.

"Isn't that..."

Killua was a little strange, but Gon didn't seem to think it was strange and never asked.

“There really wasn’t one before.”

Kate walked to the side of the deer and stroked it with his palm. The deer felt warm under its short hair and he could even feel the blood rushing through its veins.

"I took over that part of the investigation at the time."

"We only found human villages, but no animals."

Kate's words were much more credible than Hana's. After he finished speaking, both Gon and Killua began to wonder why the disappeared animals suddenly appeared.

Hua, however, held the little ant's arm tightly and stared at him fiercely while they were discussing.

The little ant didn't react at all, and he didn't even seem to want to respond.

Hua didn't dare to leave at this time, and responded absentmindedly to Xiaojie and the others' questions. However, Xiaojie and the others' discussion didn't last long and ended quickly.

"Anyway, it might just be accidental, let's move on."

Xiaojie held Hua's hand, he knew that something was wrong with his sister.

After all, Hua knew more information about this kind of discussion than they did, and according to her personality, she should join in seriously.

But she actually stood in the distance, just holding the little ant and nodding randomly.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jie gently pinched Hua's hand, which immediately brought Hua back to her senses.

Hua knew that Xiaojie was reminding her, so she shook her head slightly.

Hua's silent rejection aroused Xiaojie's anger.

Strictly speaking, it is the sadness caused by feeling distrusted that breeds such anger.

Xiaojie's breathing became heavier uncontrollably, but Hua fell into thoughts again.

Looking at the flowers, it seemed as if they were silently rejecting him.

Xiaojie felt like his emotions were tearing him in two.

Xiaojie decided that he couldn't delay any longer.

He took the flowers and walked towards the bushes nearby.

Such a big movement interrupted everyone's actions. Kate and Killua stopped and looked at Gon and the others.

Pami also stopped and looked at the two motionless people with a bit of surprise.

Xiaojie and Hua had no intention of looking back and walked straight towards the farther direction.

Killua was a little curious about the situation over there and instinctively wanted to chase after Gon.

He had just taken two steps when Kate reached out and stopped him.

"They'll be back in a bit."

Killua didn't believe a word Kate said, and if Gon said anything before he left, he didn't hear it even though he was closer to him.

Why is Kate so sure?

"Use Ning."

Kate said calmly.

Killua looked at Kate's confident look, and because he trusted what Gon had said, he focused his eyes.

Sure enough, Xiaojie and the others did not deviate from Kate's circle.

Killua was a little amused by this discovery. He couldn't chase after them, so he had to wait here for Gon and Hana to come back.

The human figure is not very clear due to the obstruction of the trees.

Xiaojie was holding Hua's hand tightly, trying to calm his anger and anxiety.

Perhaps it was because of the short time spent walking through the bushes that Xiaojie's anger was taken away, and he easily suppressed his anger.

"Can you tell me what you know?"

Xiao Jie looked at his sister in front of him seriously. He felt that it was difficult to tell because there were too many people around.

“I, I…”

Hua's mind was a mess at this moment. She hadn't sorted out her thoughts yet, and when Xiaojie brought her here, her thoughts became even more tangled.

I didn't react for a moment to what Xiaojie was asking.

However, this hesitant response and the avoidance of answering made Xiaojie's suppressed anger rise again.

He was very angry, and the Angry Flower chose to avoid him again.

Avoid telling him about the difficulties, hardships and fears you have encountered.

Hua looked at Xiaojie's angry and sad expression and tried desperately to explain, but she was too anxious and her tongue froze, and she couldn't say anything.

After trying his best, he could only utter a few hesitant words. Hua was now a little afraid to look at Xiaojie's expression.

The sight of Hua closing her eyes suddenly made Xiao Jie feel powerless. He felt like he was trying desperately to get closer to Hua, but Hua kept avoiding him.

He slowly let go of Hua's hand, but Hua grabbed Xiaojie tightly with her backhand.

"I, I don't understand!"

Driven by strong emotions, Hua finally shouted out.

"There were no animals here, not a single one!"

"I don't know where those animals came from."

Hua was very excited and shook the little ant in her hand unconsciously.

Such a large object caught Xiaojie's attention. Xiaojie looked over and happened to make eye contact with the ant that was shaking continuously with its dead fish eyes.

Hua watched Xiaojie's gaze move towards her hand, and she also followed his gaze towards her hand.

"I'm so glad you still remember me."

The little ant's eyes revealed a strong dissatisfaction, which made Hua feel guilty.

"This idiot can't explain it clearly."

"She doesn't know as much as I do."

The little ant turned around and looked at Xiaojie again. The little ant had no intention of getting involved in this matter. It didn't matter to him whether the Chimera Ant survived or humans survived.

After all, it won't affect him.

But what these two siblings did has already brought about a very bad experience.

The little ant endured the pain in his arm, and he unconsciously used too much force, which was really painful.

"First of all, those animals are not dead."

“It’s just hidden by the forest.”

The little ant calmly dropped a big thunder, and the flower looked down at the little ant in disbelief.

"I always thought..."

Hana muttered in a bit of fear, but Xiaojie raised a question.

"How do you know that?"

Xiao Jie looked at the little ant. There was no expression on its human-like face. Although what he said made sense, where was the evidence?

"Because I used to be the spirit here."

The little ant said this answer in the face of Hua's dejected expression.

After hearing this, Xiaojie did not reply to him, but thought for a while and turned to look at Hua.

"So this is the reason Hana said she couldn't explain, right?"

Hua nodded hesitantly.

In fact, the main thing is that there is a situation that needs to be explained in front of Pamy. Hua is a little unsure whether Pamy is on the ants' side or the humans' side.

What if she explained it in detail and Padme seized on it later and caused irreversible damage?

But if I don’t explain, Xiaojie and the others won’t understand what I’m saying.

It’s better not to say it.

Hua's hesitant nod basically indicated to Xiaojie that it was not just that.

At least there are other things that haven't been mentioned.
