Ever since the day they left home until today, Jian Xin and her companions had been caught in an endless cycle of climbing mountains, descending them, climbing again, and descending once more. That was why it had taken them so many days on the road, but returning now would not take nearly as long. First, they went straight down to the foot of the mountain, and then they broke into a sprint back.
With the speed of the three of them, the snow-capped mountain that had taken over half a month to traverse was left far behind in no time. By noon the next day, they had already returned to the back of the mountain where Jian Xin's home was located.
"This mountain is truly huge! The very first mountain we went to—even the one where we met Niuniu—wasn't as tall as this!"
