Max didn't plan to engage them. There was no reason to waste energy fighting when the nectar wasn't here. He tightened his control over his invisibility skill, cloaking himself completely. The faint shimmer around his body vanished until not even a trace of mana could be felt from his position.
'My invisibility skill is the best thing I have here,' he thought as he quietly moved across the edge of the chamber, his footsteps making no sound. He slipped past the patrolling ants, staying close to the walls, and found another tunnel at the opposite end.

The walls were lined with holes, small circular burrows that extended in every direction. It was like a maze of pathways woven together underground. Each of the holes pulsed faintly, carrying the faint scent of the ants. It was their nest.
