The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1515

Claire could tell Commander Miller was just looking out for them.

But what choice did they have? They were already here, so they had to face the danger head-on.

All they could do was try their best not to be a burden to the soldiers.

Miller looked at Silas.

Silas gave a helpless smile. "Our hands are tied. They're the doctors, and we need them every step of the way."

"Only you city folks would put your faith in doctors this young," Miller muttered.

However, he soon found himself swallowing his words.

Not long after entering the forest, they encountered a massive swarm of aggressive ants.

"Make sure your pant legs are tied tight. If these ants get on you, the bites hurt like hell and swell up huge."

"They leave scars that are almost impossible to get rid of."

Zamu rolled up his sleeve to show them his own scars.

His arm was covered in densely packed, terrifying marks.

"Got these when I was young and stupid, wandering into the mountains without proper protection."

"I learned my lesson the hard way. I don't take chances anymore."

Fortunately, Claire's group was well-prepared. Not only were their clothes heavily secured, but they were also wearing thin, specialized protective suits that insects couldn't bite through.

Dane had provided them.

Dane even had his men give Zamu a suit.

Once Zamu put it on, the ants were completely unable to pierce the fabric.

He marveled at the high-tech gear. "You rich folks from the outside world sure have a lot of fancy tricks."

"It's not about being rich; it's about being prepared," Claire said as she pulled a spray bottle from her backpack.

She sprayed herself down thoroughly, then moved on to Dane, Rory, and Jace.

Silas caught a whiff of the spray and asked curiously, "Claire, is that bug repellent?"

He wanted some too.

Even with their gear, some mosquitoes were relentlessly shameless, trying to squeeze through any tiny gap to get a bite.
