Looking at the mountain, but the horse dies from running.
The beacon hung in the distant sky, descending at such an imperceptibly slow speed that it seemed almost unnoticeable.
Its light neither brightens as one draws nearer nor dims from afar, as if it existed not in the real world but only in one's mind.
...
Chen Zhou and Paul's group headed straight for the beacon, continuing for over ten days after the battle with the mammoth.
In the first few days, the two advanced at a rapid marching pace, covering over 50 kilometers on the longest day.
After that day, Chen Zhou could still endure, but Paul was utterly exhausted and overtired; the next day's distance sharply decreased to only 20 kilometers.
Once Paul recovered, Chen Zhou proactively adjusted their intensity to maintain around 30 kilometers per day.
Even so, their accumulated distance in ten days was nearly 400 kilometers.
