At this moment, the sky that had been somewhat bright was now dark.
Everyone rushed back to where the tents were set up and hurried inside.
"Quick, take out the Realgar Powder and the prepared chemical agents..."
The boys braced themselves to go outside and scattered the prepared items around the tent.
Immediately, the poisonous insects that were still restless dared only to linger nearby.
Once everything was done, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Wait, isn’t someone missing?"
Wayne counted the number of people; there were nine members in the lab, but now there were only eight!
Rhiannon lowered her head guiltily.
"It’s Ivy! Ivy still hasn’t come back..."
Wayne immediately asked, "Rhiannon, you were with Ivy, where is she?"
Seeing Rhiannon not responding, Wayne couldn’t help but raise his voice: "You came back alone, why didn’t you call Ivy..."
At this, Rhiannon couldn’t help but think of Ethan’s anxious appearance regarding Ivy, and anger rose in her heart.
"Wayne, if you’re so worried about Ivy, then why don’t you go out and look for her now."
Wayne was speechless; there were poisonous insects everywhere outside, how could he go out.
Rhiannon chuckled: "If you don’t dare, then don’t act like you care so much about Ivy. Besides, she’s Mrs. Blackwood; no need for you to worry."
The mention of Mrs. Blackwood instantly left Wayne speechless.
The atmosphere inside the tent grew more gloomy.
"Rhiannon, come out..."
At this moment, Ivy’s voice came from outside; she was back!
Rhiannon’s heart skipped a beat, biting her lip angrily, not expecting Ivy to be so lucky to have found her way back after falling from such a high slope.
Ivy’s foot was terribly swollen, and she had a large bump on the back of her head. If it weren’t for the thick layer of leaves on the ground as a cushion, she would have definitely knocked herself unconscious.
Later, she managed to find her way back by relying on the markers she had previously made on the tree.
The snakes and centipedes, initially afraid to advance because of the powder, began to become agitated upon smelling Ivy’s scent.
Ivy feared nothing but these creatures.
Her body shook uncontrollably as a small snake with a rounded mark on its head crawled up her calf.
Ivy shuddered all over, desperately swinging the little snake off.
However, this action triggered the other snakes; from all directions, whether poisonous snakes or centipedes, they crawled toward her.
"Rhiannon, quickly open the tent..."
Ivy grabbed the Realgar scattered outside the tent and threw it around her, but the poisonous snakes seemed only momentarily afraid, soon crawling even more fiercely toward her.
Some even reared up, lunging at Ivy.
Everyone’s face turned pale, just listening to the wind and the snakes’ hissing outside made it easy to imagine Ivy’s situation at this moment.
"Rhiannon, Ivy asked you to open the tent..."
One of the members nudged Rhiannon, whose lips were trembling violently.
She was afraid of snakes too, she didn’t dare!
A glance up revealed shadows of all kinds of poisonous snakes and insects on the tent, and Rhiannon’s heart almost jumped out from fear: "I... I won’t go..."
Wayne clenched his fists, trembling with fear, but still walked to the zipper, "If you won’t, I will!"
Ivy is a girl, presumably even more frightened outside...
Seeing Wayne’s hand about to touch the zipper, Rhiannon’s eyes darkened, and she suddenly lunged forward, gripping Wayne’s hand tightly.

Wayne’s face turned ashen, "Rhiannon, I know you dislike Ivy, but do you not understand the situation outside? Do you really want to cause Ivy’s death?"
