NovelStartChapter 1187
Alexander had his gun aimed and ready, so the second that gray rabbit popped out, he squeezed the trigger. The
gunshot rang out, sending birds in the trees scattering.
Quinn wasn't sure if he nailed it, so she gathered up her bulky clothes and jogged over. She pushed aside the
grass and saw the rabbit on the ground, a nasty wound on its hind leg. When the rabbit saw Quinn, it freaked
out, dragging its hurt leg a few steps before collapsing again, totally unable to escape.
Quinn picked up the rabbit and ran back to Alexander.
"Let's keep moving," she said.
Alexander, still holding his gun, scanned the area and picked a direction to head.
He knew this place pretty well, and most of the dangerous critters had been cleared out. But if they wandered
too far, they could still get lost.
So he led Quinn around the area.
Since all the trees looked the same, he led Quinn in circles a few times without her catching on. She even
thought they had covered a lot of ground.
It wasn't until she noticed the bloodstains on the weeds that she felt a sense of déja vu.
After a few seconds, it hit her that this was where they had shot the rabbit earlier!
"Are we lost? Did we just circle back?" she asked.

Alexander nodded seriously. "Looks like it."
"I remember we went this way earlier. Let's try this way," Quinn said, pointing to the forest on the right.
“Alright.”
Alexander led the way in the direction she pointed, going a bit farther this tbut still within his comfort zone.
Suddenly, he stopped and yanked Quinn behind him.
Quinn, caught off guard, stumbled as he pulled her.
She looked up just in tto see a big spider, about the size of a walnut, drop down right where she had been
standing.
Even scarier, there were tons of spider webs between the trees above, all filled with these spiders.
Seeing those black spiders, Quinn covered her mouth in fear.
"These spiders are poisonous. Let's move," Alexander said, pulling her in another direction, where spider webs
could be seen on the trees every now and then. As they ran, a black spider dropped down, making Quinn scream
and instinctively jump onto Alexander's back.
Her sudden jump made Alexander stumble, almost falling.
He steadied himself and, seeing the spider on the grass, stomped on it.
"Alright, don't be scared," he said gently.
Just moments ago, Quinn had insisted she didn't need to be carried. But now, she was clinging tightly to his
neck, trembling on his back. "Hurry, let's go!" Alexander grabbed her legs and started walking quickly. "I told you
to letcarry you earlier."
She bit her lip and said nothing. She hadn't expected it to be this terrifying.
After staying in the cave for so long, she almost thought the outside world was the same.
"Loosen up a bit. You're choking me," Alexander said.

There were also various colored caterpillars, scorpions, snakes hidden in the leaves, or coiled on the branches.
