Change in Direction

The travel to the 3rd mountain took a long time for the two of them.

The mountain itself was about 35 kilometers from where they were, so even when sprinting, it would take them about an hour.

However, Jiang Zhilan was too scared to run away. What if a strong beast was ahead of her and she didn't notice it before it was too late?

What if she met one of those strong disciples from the major clans and sects, and they deemed her an eyesore? 

She needed to be careful.

As for Alex, he was torn between wanting to run away and taking his time.

As much as he loved the idea of finding treasures in the houses at the 5th mountain, his attention was primarily on the 4th mountain, which stood behind the 3rd mountain.

If he could enter the mountain and find a Blood Spirit Ginseng…

"No, I can't get my expectations up. That will only lead to disappointment," he thought. "Besides, I might find other treasures while taking my time as well."
