After a period of rushed travel, Link's group made their way over for more than 40 miles.
Here, there was a drastic change in the mountain's geography. There were rocks everywhere while the trees and vegetation lessened. The view was wide, and there were fewer places to hide.
This was both a pro and a con.
Here, Skinorse whispered, "The red monkeys disappeared. It appears that we've left their blockade."
Link let out a breath of relief. He'd been fully focused while traveling down the mountain path earlier. Every time a red monkey discovered their traces, he would kill it at once and make sure it would be executed flawlessly. This really did use up some energy.
He looked at Melinda on Nana's back and asked, "How's the wound on your leg?"
"It's alright. It doesn't really hurt anymore." Melinda looked at Link with wide eyes filled with reverence.
