Ronald indeed turned back in the direction of the expedition team.
But his true goal in doing so was not these companions that he had just recently parted from.
He merely greeted them as he passed by, and Ronald continued further back.
He didn't stop until he returned to the oasis he had left earlier.
"..."
"This is it..."
Coming to this place.
Ronald looked around, his gaze becoming extremely serious.
The reason Ronald decided to return to the oasis at this moment was that he remembered the information he had received earlier.
The unpleasant air within the oasis once recorded by that explorer;
Kea's information that Ling Guang Mountain would periodically appear and disappear over time, along with the miasma within the oasis that appeared and vanished in sync;
And finally, the thin pipelines he discovered under the ice just moments ago...
Ronald believed that there was definitely a high probability of some special connection between the two.
