Lion-Ant-Bee

The slave-trading gang's leader took one look and knew things were bad. He shouted, "Quick! Everyone climb the trees! Forget the supplies!"

It wasn't that he cherished his men's lives so dearly. He knew that on his own, he would never make it out of this forest. If everyone else died, then even if he survived for now, death would still be waiting for him.
