Chapter 1216: The Puppeteer Behind the Scenes

Just when the situation was tense and embarrassing, with everyone at a loss, Gu Fan spoke up, "Let me guess, you're here with the same goal, planning to use the River of Survival to reach the deepest parts of the Dark Primitive Mountain."

The members of the Flame Mercenary Corps were astonished; from their expressions, it was clear Gu Fan had guessed their intent correctly.

Irina was puzzled, "Why would you choose to set out at night? If you don't want others to discover your departure, you could have simply waited a few more days."

To this, Gu Fan replied, "Because by tomorrow morning, many mercenary groups will set out into the Dark Primitive Mountain. No one knows what routes these groups will take, and it's possible we would run into them. It's hard to ensure that our movements wouldn't be detected. Second, setting out tonight and moving slowly will allow us to pick up the pace tomorrow once the various groups have entered the forest and drawn the attention of most monsters."
