Ultimate Magus in Cultivation World-Chapter 255: Train XV

As they moved across the wide stretch, the far side of the valley came into view, showing a gentle rise ahead. Ling raised her hand to signal the team to slow.

"Good. Rise ahead," she said. "We reach it carefully, then pause briefly to check the path. Step by step, together."

The team adjusted their pace, climbing the gentle slope slowly. Each member watched their footing and kept spacing, moving as a single, coordinated group.

When they reached the top, the valley ahead was narrower, with several clusters of bushes and small trees offering some cover. Ling paused, letting the team catch their breath.

"Short pause here," she said. "Check your gear, drink water if needed. Then we move into the next section carefully. Step by step, together."

The team rested briefly, keeping their eyes on the surroundings. After a few minutes, Ling signaled them to continue.

"Alright. The next stretch is more open, so stay alert. Step by step."

Han Yi stood first.

"...Ready. Let’s go."

Mu Chen scanned the area carefully.

"...Eyes open. Watch for anything unusual."

Yue fell in beside Ling.

"...Together."

Lei Feng led slightly ahead, pointing out uneven ground.

"...Step carefully. Step by step."

The team moved steadily into the next section of the valley, alert and coordinated. The path ahead was open, but small patches of bushes offered occasional cover. Step by step, they advanced, ready for whatever lay ahead.

As they crossed the open stretch, the valley began to narrow slightly. The stream ran alongside them, and the scattered bushes gave some small hiding spots. Ling signaled the team to maintain spacing and keep alert.

Han Yi glanced around.

"...Eyes open. Watch the edges."

Mu Chen held his staff ready.

"...Step carefully. Nothing unexpected so far."

Yue stayed close to Ling.

"...Keep together. Don’t let your attention drop."

Lei Feng pointed out a few small rocks in the path.

"...Step lightly here. Step by step."

Step by step, the team moved through the narrower section, alert but steady. Ahead, a small cluster of trees appeared, offering shade and a chance to rest again. Ling raised her hand.

"Good. Trees ahead. We rest there briefly, check gear, then continue. Step by step, together."

The team moved into the shade, relief visible on their faces, ready for a short pause before moving forward.

The team spread out slightly under the trees, taking a moment to drink water, adjust packs, and catch their breath.

Han Yi sank onto a low rock.

"...Feels good to pause. Just a short break."

Mu Chen leaned against a tree, still watching the edges.

"...Rest, but stay alert. Step by step."

Yue checked her gear again.

"...All set. Ready to move when you say."

Lei Feng stretched his arms and legs, looking over the valley.

"...Short rest done. Let’s keep moving soon."

Ling scanned the surroundings and nodded.

"Alright. Rest is over. We move again. Keep spacing, watch your footing, and stay alert. Step by step, together."

Han Yi stood first.

"...Ready. Let’s continue."

Mu Chen gave the area one last careful look.

"...Eyes open. Nothing unusual."

Yue fell in beside Ling.

"...Together." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Lei Feng led slightly ahead, pointing out uneven spots.

"...Careful. Step by step."

The team stepped out from the shade and continued down the next stretch of the valley. The ground was mostly firm, with scattered bushes and small trees offering occasional cover. Step by step, they advanced steadily, alert and coordinated.

As they moved forward, the valley began to open again. The stream flowed alongside them, and sunlight shone across the grass. Ling raised her hand to slow the group.

"Open ground ahead," she said. "We can see far, but we’re exposed. Keep spacing, watch the edges, and move carefully. Step by step, together."

Han Yi adjusted his pack.

"...Eyes open. Stay focused."

Mu Chen held his staff ready, scanning the valley sides.

"...Step carefully. Watch every movement."

Yue stayed close to Ling.

"...Keep together. Don’t let your guard down."

Lei Feng pointed out a few loose stones along the path.

"...Step lightly here. Step by step."

Step by step, the team moved across the open stretch, alert and coordinated, heading toward the next rise in the valley that promised better cover ahead.

As they approached the next rise, the ground became slightly uneven, with small rocks and patches of loose soil. Ling signaled the team to slow down and watch their footing.

"Careful here," she said. "Step by step. Keep spacing and stay alert."

Han Yi adjusted his pack and scanned the valley below.

"...Good view from here... nothing unusual so far."

Mu Chen moved cautiously, staff ready.

"...Edges clear. Keep your eyes open."

Yue stayed close to Ling.

"...Together. Watch your steps."

Lei Feng pointed out a few loose stones.

"...Step lightly. Step by step."

With coordinated, careful movements, the team climbed the rise. When they reached the top, the valley ahead narrowed slightly, with clusters of bushes and small trees providing partial cover. Ling paused, letting the team catch their breath.

"Short pause here," she said. "Check your gear, drink water if needed. Then we move carefully into the next section. Step by step, together."

The team rested briefly, keeping their eyes on the surroundings. After a few minutes, Ling signaled them to continue.

"Alright. Next stretch will be more open," she said. "Stay alert, maintain spacing, and move carefully. Step by step."

Han Yi stood first.

"...Ready. Let’s go."

Mu Chen scanned the valley sides.

"...Eyes open. Nothing unusual."

Yue fell in beside Ling.

"...Together."

Lei Feng led slightly ahead, pointing out uneven spots along the path.

"...Careful. Step by step."

Step by step, the team moved into the open stretch, alert and coordinated, advancing steadily toward the next section of the valley where more cover awaited.

The open stretch extended for a short distance, with sunlight shining across the grass and only a few scattered bushes for cover. Ling raised her hand to signal the team to slow.

"Open ground ahead," she said. "We can see far, but we’re exposed. Keep your spacing, watch the edges, and step carefully. Step by step, together."

Han Yi adjusted his footing.

"...Eyes open. Watch for any movement."
