Although these people spoke the language of the ancient times, Claudia had studied and could understand it.
“In that case, they really had an encounter with our people,” Claudia whispered in Alex’s ear.
Alex nodded, “I just don’t know who they encountered.”
“They are most likely Gilbert and Metzli Flores’ people, because they possessed several pieces of the divine artifact,” Claudia guessed.
After that, those people continued to discuss for a while. The talking got further and further. At such a distance, it was hard to hear simply by ear. Claudia put all her power on her ears, but she could only hear extremely subtle sounds. It was now almost impossible to hear the contents of their conversation.
However, from afar, she saw those people in deep discussions. They seemed to be discussing very important matters. She was so anxious that she could not wait and wanted to continue approaching.
Alex hurriedly pulled her. “There is clear land in front of you. If you go over like this, you will definitely be exposed.”
“Then what? Can you hear them? Can you feel what they are plotting?”
“How about this, you stay here, I‘ll go over.”
“Won’t you be exposed?”
“I have my own way.”
Alex moved his body and quietly landed on the ground. With another drill, he disappeared.
Claudia was watching from the tree. Suddenly, she became wild-eyed as she saw Alex actually burrowing headfirst into the ground as if the solid dirt had turned into water.
This was, of course, Alex’s newly acquired skill, Earth Escape Technique!
This was an alternative earth transport, with the ability of the Ancestral Bodhi Tree’s root hair. It could even travel through multiple realms. In addition to that, it was also compatible with the ordinary Earth Escape Technique.
After discussing their plans, several people from the Lunula Sect immediately took action and left from here, recognizing a direction and leaving quickly.
Claudia, hiding on top of the tree, saw that the Lunula Sect members had suddenly left, while Alex had not yet returned. She became anxious, wondering where Alex had gone.
Just when she was about to look around, Alex emerged from the ground over there while most of his body was still buried in the soil.
Swish…
Claudia jumped down from the tree and rushed to Alex’s side, towering over him, “Hey, how did they leave? What did you hear?”
Alex tilted his head, “They just mentioned two places… A temple and a sacred shrine. They’ll be first heading to…”
As he said this, he tilted his head, his eyes glassy.
