As they all continued walking, they finally made it out of the marsh. Instead, the land in front of them seemed to be a dark expanse of hard rock that crawled high into the sky. The temperature seemed to double when they entered it, causing Lidia to start panting as they walked.
"Where the hell are you taking us, Squabee? It's hot as hell here!"
"We're nearing the camp really soon! I recognize this area."
As the climbed the steep slope, Slimo seemed apprehensive.
"This reminds me of a volcano. I think there's lava underneath our feet making the surface much hotter. Why the hell would there be a camp here?"
Sqaubee heard him and turned around.
"They built it here because this expanse is so desolate that catching any escapees would be easy!"
"I thought you said we were getting close. How much further do we have to walk?"
"It should take three more days to walk and we'll be there!"
Lidia looked like she was about to pass out hearing those words.
