This experience was new for Mo Li so she was willing to take the initiative to attempt it. As the leader, she could have stayed comfortably at the base but for the experience, she volunteered to move deeper into the borderline.
The soldiers stationed along the borderline were sparse and very far from the main base. The journey was difficult because there was no tarred road. The mountain and dirt roads were muddy due to the rain. It took the team almost an afternoon before they reached their first destination.
Quan Yu stayed at the main base and he was gloomy. He wanted to go along with Mo Li but Ah Si was adamant that he could not do that. Ah Si worried that Sha Kun might ambush Quan Yu when he was away from the protection of the main base.
