Zhao Ya and Kuang Zongfa walked in the middle of the team, with someone ahead responsible for scouting, and someone behind carrying equipment.
Therefore, although climbing this Endless Mountain was both arduous and dangerous, the two strolled leisurely, even feeling like they were out for a casual excursion.
However, this smooth journey soon came to an abrupt halt.
After climbing for about a day and a night, things started to get complicated.
First, the terrain became increasingly treacherous, and the path grew more rugged.
Secondly, as they climbed higher, the air gradually turned thin, and the temperature continued to drop.
Despite Kuang Zongfa's prior preparations, having ordered various cold-proof apparel, their pace inevitably slowed down.
Climbing like this for another entire day, by nightfall, someone finally couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed, unable to get back up again.
Compared to these subordinates, Kuang Zongfa was in much better condition.
