"The final stretch of this journey might prove to be difficult. The thing I've prepared should be of use now," Fang Lin muttered to himself, chin in hand.
Everyone paused for a rest and began to discuss how to proceed with the remaining journey.
Reaching the peak was never easy. Every successful climber could be counted as having endured fierce battles with demon beasts on their way up.
Among those present, only Fang Lin possessed the strength to reach the peak. The rest were lucky to have come as far as they had.
They could continue following Fang Lin, but they would need to face even fiercer demon beasts, thus becoming a burden to him.
Everyone, including Xu Shangao, understood this well. They knew that they had begun to weigh Fang Lin down after they passed halfway up the mountain.
Although Fang Lin never complained, Xu Shangao and the others realized it was time for them not to hinder Fang Lin and gracefully step back.
