Chapter 310

Before Nathaniel could even finish his sentence, Simon had already yanked open the sack. In the next instant, a mess of squirming snakes, rats, and bugs poured straight onto Nathaniel. His face went ghost white. He freaked out and tried to leap up, panic all over his face. But Silas didn't give him the chance—one solid kick landed him back down, straight into the disgusting pile that made every hair on his body stand on end. That water they'd splashed on him earlier? Yeah, it was laced with stuff that attracted these creepy crawlies. Soon enough, Nathaniel was completely covered, wriggling forms everywhere. Taking full advantage of the moment, Silas and Simon grabbed the nearby wooden boards and shoved them across the opening, sealing it tight. They didn't stop there—each one stepped on a board, pinning it down effortlessly. Nathaniel wasn't going anywhere. The second Simon opened the bag, Evelyn had already taken a big step back. She backed off several paces, keeping a solid distance.
