The Scaled Mountains were a large mountain range only a few thousand kilometers south of Amber Dawn.
Even if Shun Long had never visited the place before, he could spot the eye-catching mountains the moment he exited the city gates, so it was virtually impossible to get lost.
For better or worse, an assassin needed to be well prepared and familiar with not only their targets, but also their immediate surroundings, so Liu Mei and the others had bought maps of the wider area around Amber Dawn, as well as the dangers one should be wary of.
Unsurprisingly, information on the Scaled Mountains was also included in those maps.
Apparently, the huge mountains were not only a prime location for alchemists looking for rare medicinal herbs, but were also the home of numerous magic beasts.
The outskirts were supposed to be relatively safe, and bar something unexpected happening, a group of late-stage Dao Kings should be able to guarantee their own safety.
