Richard and Moli exchanged glances.
After a few seconds of eye contact, Moli pursed her lips and said bluntly, "Wizard Richard, according to our initial plan, we were supposed to continue exploring the ruins. However, as you just saw, the stupid giant rat we killed triggered who knows how many mechanisms in its mad rush. If we charge in recklessly, we might not obtain any valuable items and could suffer great losses. So, I think our exploration should end here. What do you think?"
Ending the exploration because the depths of the ruins are too dangerous? That may be one reason... Another might be that they've obtained what they wanted, making further exploration pointless... Richard's thoughts turned, but he didn't voice them; instead, he looked at Moli and agreed, "Okay."
