The next day, Adrian Shaw led everyone back to the area near yesterday’s underground cave first thing in the morning.
In the cracks of the rocks above the cave, they used the detector to find more scattered Mystic Ice Cores.
There were even a few Ice Cores as long as half a meter.
This far exceeded everyone’s expectations.
"We’re rich! We’re rich! The base is going to be loaded now."
Shirley Lucas said, incredibly excited.
This trip to the Bishop Clan’s territory was so worth it.
"Oh, right. Veronica Ziegler and her people should still be near Mornfell. After we leave, you all need to be careful of them."
Nina Jacobs said to Trevor and his people.
’Veronica Ziegler is probably still waiting for Alistair White.’
’They’ll probably stay here to continue looking for the inheritor.’
’The news that Mornfell has Mystic Ice Cores will spread, and this place won’t be peaceful for long.’
"That’s true. The Bishop Clan is well-hidden, but why don’t you all come with us to the base?"
Adrian Shaw asked.
"Thank you, but we have no intention of leaving."
Trevor and his people had already anticipated this possibility.
But no matter what, they would never abandon their ancestral teachings and leave their homeland.
"Well, it’s not like there aren’t any options."
Nina Jacobs said.
She had just used her Fire Element Superpower to burn all the bones in and around the cave to ash.
’If they spread the word that all the Mystic Ice Cores here have been taken, it might divert some attention.’
"That’s true. No one knows we were here."
Trevor considered the feasibility of this plan.
"Veronica Ziegler?"
Hearing her name, Lucasta Moreau secretly made a decision. He would never let the outsiders who had exploited the Bishop Clan get away with it.
It didn’t matter what ancient family they came from; he would make them pay for the deaths of his clan members.
It was evening by the time Nina Jacobs returned to the Bishop Clan’s settlement.
The Bishop Clan members held a grand victory ceremony for them.
Toya was also greatly shocked after hearing about the events of the past two days.
"If those Mutated Weasels hadn’t been dealt with, they would have found their way to our clan sooner or later."
Toya said.
They all knew the habits of weasels. Aside from their astonishing reproductive rate, their favorite pastime was taking over others’ nests.
If they were left to their own devices, they would probably have taken over all of Mornfell.
Meanwhile, Shirley Lucas took out the corpses of various Mutated Animals from her spatial pocket.
Upon seeing the massive carcasses, everyone stood rooted to the spot in shock.
’Are these all Mawdrake carcasses?’
"So many... Is that... a mutated wolf?!"
"And this one! It’s a mutated brown bear! Last time, Ken and his group ran into it and..."
"Mutated boars are no weaker than mutated wolves."
The gazes of the onlookers toward Nina Jacobs and her group had turned to awe.
Even Lucasta Moreau hadn’t expected that a mere ten or so people could accomplish so much.
’It seems our information and abilities here in the Bishop Clan have really fallen behind...’
"Does this mean we don’t have to worry about Mawdrakes anymore?"
Maya Warner was also delighted.
"The meat of these Mawdrakes is edible. I’ll have to trouble everyone to process it over the next couple of days."
Trevor said to his clansmen.
Shirley Lucas and the others planned to leave all the Mutated Animal carcasses for the Bishop Clan.
After all, the weather was hot, and the bodies would rot easily even when stored in her spatial pocket.
"No problem at all. We can turn it into jerky for our heroes to eat on their journey."
A woman with tanned skin said.
"You’ve all worked so hard these past two days. Just leave this task to our people."
