It was the middle of the night, and nothing could be seen clearly around, so Gu Fan suggested to stop moving forward, go ashore and then set up camp.
The members of the Lightning Mercenary Corps objected, arguing that the longer they stayed, the greater the danger, so it would be best to keep traveling through the night, even without stopping for a break.
Gu Fan disagreed with this view. On their first day entering the fearsome Dark Primitive Mountain, they had encountered only minor trouble, which indicated that most creatures were attracted by other mercenary groups. This meant they had to keep pace with the other groups—the progress of other mercenary groups determined their own, always using the others to help draw the fire.
To travel through the night now would be tantamount to venturing deep into enemy territory alone, which could be even more dangerous.
