It's unclear how severe the situation ahead might be.
Ma Lin carefully examined the tracks by the spring and said, "I have a feeling that further ahead, everyone will be extremely short of drinking water."
Black Tiger asked, "Then how much water do you think we should bring? Would two canisters be enough for us?"
Ma Lin replied, "Why do you think these tribes haven't moved to the plains in the west? The game is so abundant there, yet they refuse to relocate."
Black Tiger said, "I don't understand either. Perhaps they find the mountain there unsuitable for living because there are no caves? They can't build houses, so they find it inconvenient."
"They also don't go hunting there often. The game is so abundant unless their homeland is just as rich, it doesn't make sense."
"So, what do you think is going on?"
Ma Lin said, "I think it's because the road is difficult to travel, especially this section where they might not find water."
