“Hah! Just so you know, there didn’t even use to be a road on this mountain! This footpath here is the product of us mapping out the mountain for years! This path is considerably easy, you know? Some of the more difficult terrains require us to climb!” scowled Stanton—who was taking the lead—in a joking tone.

“Loud and clear! We appreciate all the hospitality, chief!” declared Gerald and his party in unison before bidding goodbye and heading toward the cave…
