Chapter 1055 Surrounded
They found a piece of land in the middle of the swamp, surrounded by many plants that Gerald had never seen before. Fortunately, there was a clearing in the area. Gerald and a few others had already gotten out of the car.
“The hover car has enough space for everyone to sleep in tonight,” Gerald suggested. “Triston and I will keep watch, and once the car starts up tomorrow, we’ll take our turn to sleep.”
“Let me join you guys as well,” Lucinda said. “It was my mistake for not reminding you about the strange happenings in Misty Mound Forest earlier. Besides, my clan sent me to assist you, so it’s my responsibility to take good care of you. Leave all the dirty and tiring work to me.” Anabel shook her head with a smile and said, “We don’t know the safe route, so we’ll still need you to drive tomorrow.
How about this, I’ll stay up with you guys tonight to keep watch.” Anabel’s words left her with no room for rebuttal. In fact, after observing along the way,
Lucinda discovered something. Among this squad, Triston seemed to be the strongest so far. He was the only one who had revealed the aura of a supreme Flame Decayer.
However, Lucinda could tell that for most opinions, these people would consult Gerald.
She knew deep down that Gerald was likely the backbone of this group of people!
What baffled her the most was Hector, because up until now, Hector had hardly spoken at all. There was really no helping it. In fact,
Hector was already over a hundred years old, and there was a generation gap between him and Gerald’s group, making it difficult for them to engage in conversation. After deciding, they sat down to eat some food and drink a little water!
After eating, Anabel gave Gerald a meaningful glance. The two of them used the excuse of exploring the surrounding terrain and walked to a deserted spot on the land. Anabel said, “There’s something off about this Lucinda.” “Go on, tell me more,” Gerald said. “There’s something strange going on in
Misty Mound Forest, but Lucinda didn’t warn us. She claimed to have forgotten, but it’s hard to believe she’d forget something so life-threatening. Especially when we got close to the forest, she still didn’t mention it. If we hadn’t met Xavier, we would have been completely unaware and might have walked right in,” Anabel said.
Gerald frowned slightly and said, “So, you’re saying… you think this Lucinda is not trustworthy? Isn’t she a member of your Archaic Tribe?” “Didn’t she mention it herself?” Anabel said, “In this place, betrayal is a common occurrence.
Gerald’s brow furrowed in thought. After a moment, he looked up at Anabel and asked, “Do you and Kristian know the way to the Archaic Tribe’s base? We need to get to their base and pass through it in order to enter the Promise Group.”
Anabel shook her head and said, “I don’t know the route! But finding the Archaic Tribe’s base shouldn’t be too difficult. We just need to locate the others and simply ask them!”
“Well…” Gerald hesitated for a moment and said, “How about this? We don’t have any evidence right now, so we can’t do anything to her. It wouldn’t be good if we mistakenly hurt her. So, tomorrow, let’s take her directly back to the port, and then we’ll figure out a way to get to the port ourselves. How does that sound?” Anabel nodded and said, “Alright.” After a brief discussion, the two returned to their base. Time passed by, and the sky gradually darkened.
Lucinda’s performance was quite normal, and she was enthusiastic throughout the whole process. She took great care of Kristian and his companions, making sure they were well looked after.
On Promise Island at night, the light was quite dim. Gerald and his friends lit a bonfire, and after it grew late, Valery and the others returned to their car to rest. Gerald, Anabel, and Triston sat around the campfire, chatting casually.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
