Archibald and Leopold exchanged glances, both keenly aware of what the approaching group was there for.
They were looking for them!
"One might say this mountain has always been unlucky, just burn it all down and be done with it," one person grumbled, clearly unhappy and not wanting to waste time here.
"If you're so tough, why don't you set it on fire yourself? I'd like to see how you'd explain that to the others afterward," another retorted with a laugh, slowly walking toward their direction.
As the group approached, both Archibald and Leopold grew anxious, fearing they might be discovered.
They were just about to look for an opportunity to escape when unexpectedly, the group stopped.
"Let's just call it quits; there's nothing worth seeing ahead. Let's not waste more time here."
"You're right, with all those disgusting things up on the mountain, if they are still alive, they're probably not faring well anyway."
