Heading south, everyone embarked on the journey with a gambler's mindset. According to Gu Fan's plan, if they succeeded, that would be great; but if they didn't find what they were looking for, it didn't matter, they would leave as planned.
Looking at the ancient map, south of the Qianye Country was an area of hills and a river, but there was no such notation on the modern map. It was apparent that the hill could be a small, negligible one, and the river may no longer exist.
After a long journey, Gu Fan and his group came across the well again, which brought back unpleasant memories for Lu Yi. He had nearly fallen into it before.
Gu Fan thought that there shouldn't be just one well, perhaps there were others along the way that had simply been hidden by the sand dunes. They were lucky to have found this well.
However, Lu Yi had a different opinion. He argued that it wasn't good luck, but rather a fluke, given that he himself had nearly fallen into the well.
