Ye Chen seemed lost in thought.
Li Mo asked in confusion, "Do you think they are planning to ambush us here?"
Can Mo responded, "Definitely. Look around, we're surrounded by mountains. Even if they can't completely block our way, taking any other path will delay us by at least two days. We simply can't afford to waste any more time, so they probably predict that we will have to pass through this valley, making it their most likely ambush point."
Upon hearing this, Li Mo suggested, "Well, let's not pass through here. Let's take another path and make their ambush pointless."
Nonchalantly, Can Mo replied, "When I said we would lose at least two days, I meant it. Maybe even three. We've worked hard to close the gap, and losing two days would give them a two-day head start into the fourth ring."
Li Mo fell silent at this, then declared, "We cannot allow that to happen. Even a delay of two days would scatter us."
Can Mo reiterated, "Exactly, we can't afford to waste any more time."
