Nina Jacobs selectively relayed some of what Edric Holden had said.
Everything except what concerned Keldorn.
"They’ll never find the entrance to our Bishop Clan."
Trevor stepped forward.
Before the apocalypse, the Bishop Clan also lived in the public eye.
After the apocalypse began, they returned to their tribe.
An ancient tenet of the Bishop Clan dictated that in times of great chaos, all members must return to protect the tribe.
It was impossible for outsiders to know the location of their tribe’s entrance.
"What if they use special methods? Like Qimen Dunjia?"
Nina asked.
Since Edric Holden mentioned that Magnus York used a Compass, they probably wouldn’t use ordinary methods.
"...If it’s someone who has mastered the Arcane Gate Evasion Art, it’s very possible."
Shawn mused from the side.
He remembered the old elder saying that the entrance to the Bishop Tribe was set up long ago by a member of an Ancient Martial Clan from Drakonia who had mastered the Arcane Gate Evasion Art.
Although times have changed and the descendants of those clans have since gone into seclusion or faded from the public eye, it’s not impossible for a descendant of extraordinary talent to appear.
"Don’t worry. If it were that easy for them to find it, Edric Holden wouldn’t still be without any news."
Nina said, noticing Trevor’s unease.
In her past life, she had indeed never heard of anyone finding the Mystic Ice Core in the Bishop Clan’s territory.
"That’s right. There are so many Mawdrakes all over the mountain, and Lucasta Moreau is there to protect the tribe. You don’t need to worry, Trevor."
Lana added.
The so-called Mawdrakes she mentioned were mostly wild animals that had mutated after the apocalypse.
Nina guessed that these Mawdrakes had likely all mutated due to the influence of the Mystic Ice Core.
’Looks like finding the Mystic Ice Core will mean fighting Mutated Animals.’
The thought of Lucasta Moreau eased Trevor’s mind somewhat.
’I just wonder if he’ll object to us bringing Nina and her group into the tribe.’
When Shirley Lucas came out, he found everyone was already geared up and ready to go.
He and Eve had collected a lot of supplies.
He had Eve store all the supplies with short shelf lives in particular.
He was slightly shocked after hearing about the size of Eve’s space.
’She’s just a little girl, but her space is already as big as a school’s athletic field.’
"Watch out!"
From her vantage point, Joanne Page clearly saw that Oceane Sutton had somehow freed a hand.
A wood thorn materialized in mid-air, shooting straight for Shirley Lucas!
Shirley Lucas saw the sharp wood thorn too. He instinctively raised his hand to block it, only to find the thorn had vanished right in front of him?!
SHLICK!
A stone blade plunged directly into Oceane Sutton’s temple.
Nina glanced at Oceane Sutton, who had died instantly, then walked toward Shirley Lucas.
Lucas was still staring blankly at his own hand.
"Damage absorption."
Nina said.
It was a Skill for Space Superpower Users. In her past life, only a few Intermediate-level Space Superpower Users could use it.
And now, Shirley Lucas had learned it.
"Absorb... damage?"
Shirley Lucas then realized that he really had absorbed the wood thorn into his space.
But when he took it out again, the thorn had lost its offensive power.
"I’ve seen other people use it before,"
Nina explained.
"You can do that?"
Lana, also a Space Superpower User, was overjoyed.
’So we Space Superpower Users do have a way to protect ourselves!’
The view outside the car window was still one of utter devastation.
