In the early morning, everyone woke up one by one, starting to wash and prepare. Everyone knew in their hearts that the journey was just beginning, and it would surely bring difficulties. No one was optimistic about the journey ahead.
However, the sled dogs were left behind. Old man Tian had said that once they entered the forest, the uneven terrain and rocks covered by snow would pose certain risks to the movement of the sled. The area was rarely visited by humans, so there were no specially developed safe routes for the sleds to use, making it easy for the sleds to flip or crash.
The second reason was that they were not familiar with operating the sleds. They could easily crash into trees due to excessive speed or delayed turns, causing injuries.
The third reason was that if they encountered a wild animal attack, the sled dogs would be frightened, causing the team to easily become chaotic, making the situation more dangerous.
