"Unless we run into the leading teams. They shouldn't have gotten trapped or killed by the early floors."
Oli glanced back at the tense baboon with a solemn nod.
"If that's the case… Well, as this team's leader and the man who chose to burden you both with extra baggage to carry, I'll just have to make quick work of any obstacles in our path.

As Oli bolted into the former snake den, Yeter boldly charged forward with Maytan and the knocked-out wolf aboard his back.
But this time, Kako didn't lag behind. Kako's stiffness had already vanished after hearing his team captain's declaration of strength and determination. Also, the proud baboon refused to become the party's caboose yet again.
