a journey filled with many challenges
a vast setting of distant landscapes
supernatural forces, such as gods or monsters, that intervene

Explanation:

The excerpt mentions traveling "four hundred miles" and "a thousand miles", which indicates a vast setting. It also describes the journey as covering distances that would take ordinary men six weeks in just three days and nights, emphasizing the large - scale and distant nature of the landscape. There is no mention of a hero answering a call (no call is described), while the journey itself isn't detailed with many challenges (just the travel distances and setting up camp, digging a well). There are no supernatural forces like gods or monsters intervening in this particular excerpt.

Answer:

a vast setting of distant landscapes
