Grounded Black Ant Hill Novels & Stories

Layla The wind came in sideways rattling the peach leaves above me. They shuddered like nervous fingers. I reached out and brushed one low-hanging branch, my skin catching on something sticky. Its sap wasthick and amber, clinging stubbornly to the stem. Ants swarmed it. An entire black river of them moved with ruthless purpose. One ant—larger than the others—lay lifeless on its back, legs curled inward. The living carried it together, dragging the body downward toward the roots, toward the earth that would reclaim it.

The bear instantly regained freedom as if a rope binding it had been untied. It scrambled up and made to attack Kiran, but when it saw the blood ants, it whirled around and fled as if it had seen a monster. Kiran was even more staggered to see this. Apparently, these blood ants were so formidable that even a black bear was frightened of them. He raised his head and gazed at the mountain. What mountain was this? Why were there such ferocious beasts and poisonous ants? When the blood ants perceived that the black bear was gone, they began to crawl around aimlessly. Soon, they shifted their target to Kiran.

Three Years Before the Main Timeline. The Summit of Blackwood Hill. The wind up here was vicious. It whipped across the exposed bedrock, carrying the scent of impending snow. Cyprian Hale stood on the edge of the precipice. Behind him, the skeleton of a monster was rising from the earth. Steel beams crisscrossed the sky. Concrete mixers churned. Sparks rained down from welders hanging fifty feet in the air. This was the site of the Hale Fortress.

I paused my ant-killing spree and moved closer to her location. When I noticed that enormous ants were coming out of the wall, my eyes widened even more. We were completely unaware that the ants had dug a hole for the route, and when they caught a whiff of Erica, they proceeded to approach her. "Viktor!" Erica faltered as she called out my name. When I noticed a large swarm of ants heading towards Erica, I gulped. The enormous black ants that poured out of the hole stopped me in my tracks as I tried to go closer to Erica. I took them out one by one, yet they continued to spread despite my efforts.

"Just after midnight a wicked wind picked up and stirred me from my slumber on my branch (I was resting in a tree). I happened to gaze down at the human tents when a wail above the wind came from the tranquil scene. The woman's tent began to shake from inside as a mess of blanket and human tumbled out onto the ground. I realized that both the woman and the tent were engulfed in a moving black mass, and this is what had caused the woman to panic." "Black mass?" Ithel asked. "What was it?" "Ants! The tent was placed on a colossal ant mound." Brinn grinned with the revelation. "How did she not see it?" A she-elf wondered aloud. "I do not know," Brinn replied. "Perhaps the soft grass hid it. All

"In the soil, the ants are almost invincible. It's easy for them to dig up the ground. No wonder they can chase us so fast and make us collapse." "As for the attack behind us, I guess it was also done by these guys. They are very small. After our people were killed, the black air spread and could cover them a lot. In addition, there is a collapsed place for them to hide at any time. This can explain why we can only see their attacks but can't see their people." "Those ants truly deserve to die."

I couldn't fathom the magnitude of pain that awaited these men as Edward precisely positioned them between each rock. Once satisfied with their placement, Edward unsheathed his sword and swung it with a swift and decisive motion, slicing through the first giant ant hill as if it were made of paper. The destruction unleashed a discordance of chaos as the ground rumbled beneath us. From the depths of the shattered hill, a horde of enraged ants emerged, their movements swift and purposeful. I had never seen such colossal insects before, each one as large as a giant beetle. My mind raced with the terrifying possibilities of their venomous stings, knowing the excruciating pain they would inflict

They looked like giant ants . ‘they didn’t just look, they are giant ants. And they had dug the holes and tunnels, that explained why he had not seen any of them before. They probably lived underground.’ He had witnessed them digging the holes easily and going into it, and what was more strange was that they were able to cover the holes soon after they dug it, to cover the it tracks. ‘this is bad. This is very bad. Just how are these giant ants able to dig so well and cover it. Where did they come from and where do they stay?’

Kate listened with wide-eyed wonder. “And then Mathias and I were flying through a hole in the fence of the basement and, standing outside, I saw talahib grass stretching upwards like skyscrapers. An army of ants were marching past in single file, but they were black, not red, so I relaxed a little. Still, they were easily the size of bulldogs. “I felt a little vertigo. When that passed, I realized that Mathias and I were holding hands. I quickly let go and backed away. I barely knew him, and girls in those days, most especially girls in the countryside, were very conservative.

He can't find me. I have to run away, somewhere, anywhere. He just can't find me. He may already know where I am for all I know. I walked right into a hard wall, stumbling back I lost my balance. I waited for my body to come in contact with the ground but it never came. I opened my tightly shut eyes, all the breath was knocked out of my lungs as I stared into a mesmerizing pair of green eyes. "Mr Black?" His face was barely an inch away from mine, his breath fanned against my face.
