Snakes again!
Nameless had overcome his mental block, but he still hated snakes.
He wanted to take another route rather than cross Python Mountain. The problem was that the other two routes were even more dangerous. One skirted Python Mountain through Wild Boar Valley, adding two-thirds to their journey for no good reason. Worse, Chen Quanyong's map marked Wild Boar Valley as extremely dangerous.
If they avoided Wild Boar Valley and went around the other side of Python Mountain, they would have to find a way across a canyon and the Abyss. It would be troublesome and dangerous. Without tools, it would probably take four or five days.
