After several minutes of intense examination, she raised her head and nodded with conviction. “I’m positive. This has to be the right location p>
“The entrance is definitely here,” Cole agreed firmly. “It’s just been concealed with extraordinary skill. Everyone needs to spread out and search every inch of this area. Look for anything that seems even slightly out of place p>
The assembled teams immediately began systematically searching for any irregularities or anomalies.
During this process, Elliana stood gazing at the towering frozen mountain rising before her, lost in thought. After several contemplative moments, she said to Cole, “Look—doesn’t the snow accumulated at this mountain’s base appear distinctly different from the snow covering other areas p>
