"We don't need to," Oli quickly replied. "I'm guessing the fox was trying to track down that team when it ran into us. Besides, our goal isn't to eliminate other teams. It's to get to that beacon. And we've already gotten into trouble with wolves, so I'd rather not push our luck any further."
The team agreed without any objections. So they stored the fox corpse, had Freele heal Trenk's bleeding side, and got moving.
As the day winded down, the team sped up more and more. With the beacon getting larger every couple of hours, they were getting anxious to reach the shrine. But they would first have to stop for at least one more night.
