Under everyone's different emotions filled gazes, the embermaw ants marched forward.
Their mouths started to form big blobs of resin, a size that was bigger than their heads.
When they were finally on it, some got up on its body while the others were down.
They quickly placed the resin on the grey rat's skin and ran at full pace back to where they were first at.
While they were doing so, and the parents were already confused enough.
The resin started burning one after another with a pop, and soon, the fur of the rat was already covered with burning hot fire.
There were around 80 blobs of resin burning on it, and it was something the rat couldn't handle at all.
The paralysis broke, and it squeaked one last time before it dropped dead on the ground after a few deep huffs.
At this point, the stares were not at the ants or the dead rat, but at Theo, who had orchestrated everything that had happened.
