Rhiannon Zane continued, "The explorer’s footage was shot at Aethel in Veridia, so our first mission location is Aethel."
Aethel?
The ntion of this na caused a mont of surprise among the lab mbers.
Aethel is known as the infamous Death Mountain of Veridia.
Because the area is teeming with venomous insects, and with high altitudes and significant temperature differences between the peak and base, plus its extre remoteness from the city, very few people usually go there.
Rhiannon Zane said, "If we can find the spot where the explorer fild, there’s a great chance we can discover the Datura."
If found, it would be a sensational event in the academic world.
Everyone understood this and couldn’t help but feel excited.
"Rhiannon, when should we go?"
"We can set off this afternoon."
After Rhiannon Zane finished speaking, she instructed everyone to gather their belongings.
In an instant, the lab mbers sprang into action, carrying equipnt, gathering dicinal supplies... the whole lab beca a flurry of activity.
Ivy Kensington was no exception, packing her things as well.
As she left the lab, she happened to run into Ethan Ford coming in.
"Where are you all headed?"
Ivy was about to answer when Rhiannon Zane chid in, "Aethel."
Ethan Ford’s expression tightened.
Aethel was actually a venomous insect research base for the Ford Family...
Seeing his apparent curiosity about Aethel, Rhiannon quickly explained the purpose of the trip again.
"Young Master Ford, would you like to join us?"
Ethan Ford turned to Ivy, "Do you want to go?"
What?
Ivy was taken aback, not understanding why the question was directed at her.
Thinking it over, Ivy said, "Mr. Ford, I think you should stay in Veridia."
Aethel is quite dangerous, and Ethan Ford is rely a collaborator; there’s no need for him to go, especially since there are so many people from the lab...
"Alright, then I’ll go,"
Ethan Ford replied.
Ivy: "...?"
The group arrived at Aethel three hours later.
Just upon reaching the base of Aethel, a chill wind swept down, biting through their collars.
However, everyone was well-prepared. The male mbers set up the tents first, while the females cleared the surrounding area.
Aethel isn’t a tourist destination, so there’s no one overseeing the place.
To be safe, they started a fire early to prevent any wild animal attacks.
After everything was set, the sky was still bright.
Soone suggested, "Why don’t we split into groups to explore the surroundings?"
Rhiannon Zane glanced at Ethan Ford, the first to agree, "I think it’s a good idea, I want to pair with..."
Before she finished, Ethan Ford was already beside Ivy Kensington.
"I’ll pair with Ivy Kensington."
Rhiannon Zane bit her lip in frustration and added, "Three people to a group, I’ll go with Young Master Ford."
No one objected, and quickly teams were ford, ready to set off.
"Ivy, are you tired?"
"Ivy, are you thirsty?"
Throughout the journey, Ethan Ford asked Ivy every few minutes.
This attention made Rhiannon Zane extrely envious.
Already having Master Blackwood, now she’s trying to charm Young Master Ford, this Ivy Kensington is truly shaless!
After pondering for a mont, Rhiannon said, "Ivy, I need to use the bathroom. Could you co with ? I’m a bit scared..."
Ivy frowned at her, seeing her genuinely uncomfortable, and considering the danger of the place, being alone indeed wasn’t safe, so she nodded.
"Alright, I’ll go with you."
The two went to a sowhat secluded spot, and it turned out Rhiannon was really unlucky.
