After a full night of rest, the group at the foot of the mountain finally set off on their ascent.
Climbing boots, trekking poles, compass, moisture-proof mats... they had prepared all the necessary climbing gear, but the mountain path was still difficult to traverse. The vegetation was too dense; in addition to mutated towering trees, there were also dense patches of thorns, and the air around them was so muggy that it was hard to bear.
Yan Xiao had initially tried to burn a path through, but after a while, he felt it was too wasteful of his Ability. After all, they were going to be trekking in the mountain for at least two days, and no matter how powerful his Ability was, he couldn't afford to waste it like that. He needed to conserve his strength for battle.
Fortunately, they were already nearing their destination, so nobody was in a hurry.
