Chapter 169: Stepping On The Boar’s Territory!
"Hey, Felix. Do you mind if we can slow down a bit?" a tired-looking hiker asked his leader while being drenched in his own sweat.
"I agree. It's been two days ever since we started that bet with the old woman and its young grandson. I doubt they would be able to catch up with our pace no matter how much they try." another hiker stated his agreement over the first one's comment.
"I don't think an hour of rest would be really hard for us considering the distance we made since we started. Heck, I bet that old woman is still sleeping at the moment due to her aching back." a third hiker said. Despite his confident remark, he too looked like he had been soaked in a rain with his sweat.
Ever since they left the foot of the mountain, they kept on hiking and hiking with barely enough rest. It was not just because they are afraid to lose against the bet, but their pride as a hiker would be greatly affected the moment that old woman and her grandson overtakes them.
