The hunting teams also maintained steady progress, locating and eliminating white donkeys that had been missed during earlier sweeps by other teams.
The creatures seemed to be becoming increasingly scarce as the examination progressed, confirming my assessment that resources were being depleted across the testing grounds.
Currently we possessed 55 Crest Marks total - a substantial number given the apparent scarcity of these items.
Based on our observations of other teams' activities and the difficulty of locating additional resources, this accumulation likely represented a commanding lead over our competitors.
The examination's conclusion was approaching, and our methodology had created what appeared to be an insurmountable advantage.
The remaining time would be spent consolidating our position while preventing any desperate attempts by rival teams to close the gap through aggressive tactics.
