Chapter 747 Tracking

Although many accidents happened, Joan remained calm.

After entering the mine, first take out the "navigation compass" and check the topographic map inside the mine.

From the map alone, there are at least four tunnels in the mine leading to the outside world.

If Evelyn staggered the dwarf's tracking path, it would not be difficult to escape the mine through other exits.

The Underdark region is boundless, and there is no daylight. As long as she leaves the mine safely and hides in a random place, the dwarves will not be able to find her even if they dig three feet into the ground.

The problem is that Evelyn seems to be entering this mine for the first time, and she doesn't know the terrain inside the mine. How likely is it that she can safely pass through the maze-like criss-crossing tunnels and escape smoothly?

Joan couldn't make an assessment of this.

"Regardless of the merits and grievances between the dwarves and Evelyn, in short, try to find her first."

Joan touched the storage bag, took out a 2-ring "object location" scroll, and asked Holden:

"Is there any jewelry on Evelyn's body?"

Holden nodded without hesitation.

"Can you accurately recall her jewelry? Any one is fine, as long as it is worn close to the body, the richer the details, the better."

"sure!"

Holden again responded in the affirmative.

"That's easy."

Joan was about to hand the spell scroll to the poet when his face suddenly changed and he stopped moving.

When he entered the mine just now, he activated the "tremor perception" attached to the prosthetic eye.

At this moment, Joan sensed a slight tremor in the airflow in the surrounding space, as if someone was following him, approaching on tiptoe.

Joan frowned slightly, pretending to glance back casually.

The tunnel behind him was empty, and no one could be seen.

However, tremor perception revealed that just fifteen feet away, a person was walking silently in the dark.

"Invisibility"?

Qiao An had some guesses in his mind.

He was not in a hurry to activate "See Through Invisibility", closed his eyes, and concentrated on feeling the echo coming from behind him.

The "invisible man" seemed to be aware of his abnormal behavior, stopped vigilantly, leaned against the wall, held his breath, and remained motionless.

However, Joan has obtained enough echoes, and traced the opponent's body outline based on the difference in wave range.

After "seeing" the figure of the invisible man clearly, even if Qiao An didn't turn on "See Through Invisibility", it was not difficult to identify the other party's identity.

"Joan, have you spotted Evelyn?" Holden asked eagerly.

Joan pondered for a long time, but finally did not answer his question directly.

"No big deal, let's go."

"The scroll in your hand..."

"Oh, the scroll!" Joan patted his forehead, and stuffed the scroll back into the storage bag as if nothing had happened, "I don't need it yet."

Holden looked at him in surprise, with doubts in his eyes.

Audrey and Hailar also looked at each other, vaguely feeling that Joan's behavior was a little abnormal.

"Holden, there is one thing I have to ask in advance. If we find Evelyn, what are you going to do?"

Joan took the initiative to change the subject.

Holden lowered his head and thought for a long time, then sighed with a wry smile.

"I'm going to ask her if she has deceived us. If the answer is yes, I want to know her purpose in doing so."

"And then?" Joan asked Holden, "If Evelyn admits to the dwarf's accusation against her, what are you going to do?"

"I don't know..." Holden scratched his hair in pain, "Maybe I will condemn her crimes, but I really can't bear to hand her over to the dwarves."

"In the end... I will probably let her go, as if I never knew her."

After hearing Holden's heartfelt words, Joan also sighed.

At the same time, he felt the tremors behind him become stronger.

The invisible man hiding in the dark couldn't restrain his excitement, his heart was beating violently.

Joan looked up at the dome of the cave, his eyes seemed to penetrate the frost that had frozen for thousands of years.

It was a while before he broke the silence.

"let's go."

"Where are you going?" Hailar followed up and asked.

"The nearest mine exit from here."

"Will Evelyn go this way?" Audrey asked worriedly.

"I guess it will. We'd better get to the exit of the mine before the dwarves catch up."

Joan held the "navigation compass" and walked forward quickly.

Hailar and the Zion siblings still don't quite understand why he was sure that he could find Evelyn by taking this road, but he didn't continue to ask, but silently quickened his pace and followed.

At the same time, Joan felt a tremor behind him.

The "invisible man" hiding behind them also followed closely.

With the navigation map provided by the compass, Joan led his companions through the mine quickly.

After walking for more than half an hour, the terrain ahead became open.

Everyone seemed to have walked into a natural aquarium, with beautiful ice walls on both sides of the dome.

Through the wide ice wall with a thickness of hundreds of feet, the ancient aquatic organisms frozen in the ice layer can be faintly seen, with strange shapes and strange shapes.

Under the illumination of the miner's lamp, a faint blue glow appeared from deeper in the ice layer.

Joan guessed that it was the "green ice vein" that Klein called, also known as the "core of the glacier".

"Oh! Come and see! This giant squid frozen in the ice is still alive!"

Hailar stood in front of the ice wall on the left, staring straight at an ancient squid sealed deep in the ice, his brows beaming with excitement.

Audrey glanced at her, and said angrily, "The aquatic organisms that have been frozen in the ice for thousands of years have long since died. Who else are you trying to deceive?"

"I'm not lying to you! Just now I saw this squid shaking in the ice!"

Hailar's face was full of eagerness, and he didn't look like a fake.

"Are you sure you're not dazzled?"

Audrey walked towards the left ice wall in doubt.

Joan heard Hailaer's description from the side, but didn't take it seriously at first, thinking it was just her hallucination.

However, at this moment, he suddenly sensed an unusually strong shock wave coming from the depths of the ice wall on the left, and he couldn't help but shudder!

"Look! The fish and shrimp in the ice are shaking, they are all alive!"

Hailar pointed at the ice wall, his face flushed with excitement.

Audrey looked at it with her head, and her expression changed.

"It's really moving... Strange, did you hear it? Deep in the ice, there seems to be a roar. It sounds like... It's like thunder, and the thunder is rolling from a distance..."

"Come back!"

Joan suddenly realized that the crisis was approaching, rushed forward without thinking, grabbed Audrey and Hylar's wrists, and forcibly dragged them away from the ice wall.
