It was hard work parachuting down, and the initial plan was to familiarize ourselves with the surroundings first. If we encountered Wild Wolves or other Fierce Beasts, we could ignore them, but the mastiff was special—it had some connection with the State Preceptor of Lamaism we were pursuing. It appeared to be domesticated, so we had to consider the worst. Luo Zheng reviewed the surrounding terrain map in his mind and said in a deep voice, "Everyone has seen the aerial photos of the terrain. The area within a 200-kilometer radius is all snow mountains, with harsh weather. Nobody ever comes here, which is why we chose to land here."
"But here, discovering the mastiff changes the situation. It might be wild or domesticated, and we can't make a gamble. To be safe, it's best to plan carefully," Lan Xue advised seriously.
"I propose we bury the supplies on site, travel light, and follow the mastiff's direction to see if we can discover anything," Ghost Hand suggested solemnly.
