Long Mountain is located more than fifty kilometers to the west of the Hive.
Fifty kilometers might not sound like much.
But for the humans of the Ice Abyss, it's considered quite a long distance.
The current territorial scope of the Great Xia is already quite broad, but from Twin Dragon Valley as a starting point, the farthest the people from the Great Xia Camp venture is south to Xing River and then take a turn east to Wuyuan. This journey, combined, is only a little over thirty kilometers.
Not considering the dangers encountered on the journey, just crossing an unfamiliar fifty kilometers in the harsh cold of the Ice Abyss isn't an easy task, even for those at the Cold Resistance Level, let alone those in the Earth-digging Realm.
Thus, for most people of the Ice Abyss, a fifty-kilometer journey might be an impossibility for a lifetime.
