Although many groups had entered the Sacred Mountains, everyone here knew they were probably the only ones who were still alive.
There might still be some survivors hiding in the wilderness of the mountains, but it would not be easy to get out of the Sacred Mountains alive. To leave this place, they would either have to walk through the canyon and get hypnotized again before finally dying of exhaustion.
Or feel their way out of it with their eyes closed and come face to face with those terrifying tarantulas.
Someone escaping from the tarantula horde again on their own would be practically impossible.
The heavy fog in the mountains might even trap them forever inside.
Otherwise, they could simply take the main road where Pyro Company troops were still stationed along. Although there weren't many troops garrisoned there due to the encirclement plan, it was not a route that anyone could take.
