Duke didn't mention about his visit to the temple, believing it was better to keep such things to himself and not inform others.
They discussed current plans on the spot for a while, consulting the map drawn by Simon to decide on their next steps.
The area where the giant spiders were located was definitely not to be approached, nor was the area where they encountered malevolent spirits.
The Lizardmen near the temple were in a state of extreme anger, with two Lizardman Leaders present, making it also off-limits.
After excluding all these areas, they found there weren't many options left.
The remaining areas were unfamiliar to Duke and his team, uncertain if other dangers lurked there.
After some discussion, Duke and his team decided to return directly to the oasis they first encountered.
It was relatively the safest place in the desert, with only one Lizardman Tribe nearby, five kilometers away from the oasis.
