This was the ninth night, with an evening chill still lingering in the night air. Gu Fan, Du Jun, and Ouyang Jin were having hushed discussions whilst watching the drone footage in the early part of the night.
According to Ouyang Jin's estimations, perhaps they would be able to reach the desert by the 11th day. This was one of the major differences between the ancient map and the present one. Wasn't the land of the ancient Qianye kingdom free of desert during its time?
Although the task seemed daunting, their primary objective was to accurately mark their current location on the modern map. Ouyang Jin was confident in his ability to achieve this, as he rigorously calculated the distance each day.
Having replayed the maps multiple times, Gu Fan sighed and said, "We must find a common point on both maps before entering the desert, or it will be difficult to navigate once we're in."
