When everyone stopped to camp that night, they had traveled almost thirty miles, but had only descended about one mile vertically.
They found a naturally formed cave, lit a warm bonfire, and while chatting, enjoyed a delicious dinner made by Koula. Frankly, the presence of the Halfling significantly enhanced the comfort level of the adventure. According to the records in the small bamboo slip, even without being in seclusion, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator could go for months without eating or drinking, but Lancelot had never had the chance to verify if that was true—because the food Koula cooked was just too tempting.
Tonight's dinner consisted of Abyss chicken egg and ham sandwiches, along with two strips of Blood Lake dried fish and some spiced fish soup. Although simple, it was very tasty and there was plenty to go around, for example, Bruto alone ate three and a half portions, the half being what little Esha couldn't finish and gave to him.
