Chapter 1249 - 1248: Northwest, Northwest
Based on the deputy camp leader’s time of entering the mine, Yusuf Zuck and his two companions quickly deduced that it was just after dusk, and indeed, it was the best time to escape.
Of course, haste makes waste. The three of them sat on the mound of earth and began drawing a map. Yusuf Zuck pointed out the positions of some sentries within the barracks and identified the safest direction for their escape!
"How do you know more about this than I do?" Leonidas King asked in astonishment, as the map Yusuf drew indeed highlighted the weakest spot in the camp!
"If I had wanted to run, I would have done so long ago," Yusuf shrugged, but his expression soon turned serious again, "However, this area, stretching for billions of miles, is barren and desolate. There’s still a chance we could be pursued, so prepare yourselves for death!"
"How do you know that the area for billions of miles is barren?" Alden Baxter asked, confused.
"I’ve studied the terrain above. About two billion miles southeast, there’s a small town with twenty-two homes, a tea house, a guest house, a blacksmith shop, an apothecary, and a grain store. It’s a place where travelers stop," Yusuf explained as he drew a large circle on the map, pointing out the location of the town. "Besides this town, there’s no sign of human habitation within two billion miles."
"Continuing southeast from the town, after nearly five billion miles, there’s a city, but I don’t know much beyond that." Yusuf spoke truthfully; although his Telekinesis could stretch across countless lightyears, the space in the Heavenly Realm was different. Many places were impenetrable to his Telekinesis, such as underground or if extended too far, where the space itself would warp, limiting his Telekinesis to within ten billion miles. Also, he couldn’t see inside the cities because they are protected by Formation, which blocks all Telekinesis.
The terrain and spatial complexities of the Heavenly Realm were among the reasons he couldn’t travel through space-time!
"You know of a city seven billion miles away? You..." Both Leonidas King and Alden Baxter were utterly dumbfounded, especially Leonidas King. He had been here for over twenty thousand years and knew nothing of the towns or cities, yet Yusuf was able to recite these details as if they were common knowledge. This fellow was truly remarkable!
