Upon leaving Starfire City, the trio immediately set out at a run, their compass bearings leading them towards the northeast.
In fact, they didn't need to be particularly accurate – Starfire City was just a hundred miles away from the Frost Mountain Range. The seemingly infinite mountain range that sprawled out before them like a slumbering giant dragon had been visible from afar.
After the solid foundational training they had at Li Fire Academy, the three of them ran a hundred miles in one breath to the foot of the Frost Mountain Range, where they paused briefly for rest and sustenance before beginning their trek upwards.
Although it was called the Frost Mountain Range, from their current location they felt no wind, nor could they see any signs of frost or snow. After all, the South Fire Empire was located at the southernmost tip of the continent and had a higher temperature. As for why this mountain range was so named, Ji Dong and the others had no idea.
