Ultimate Magus in Cultivation World-Chapter 262: Train XXII

As they moved closer to the rise, the ground became uneven with small stones and patches of loose soil. Ling raised her hand to slow the team.

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

Han Yi adjusted his footing and looked ahead.

"…Good view… nothing unusual."

Mu Chen held his staff ready, scanning the edges.

"…Edges clear. Watch carefully."

Yue stayed close to Ling.

"…Together. Watch your steps."

Lei Feng pointed out a few loose stones.

"…Step lightly. Step by step."

The team climbed the rise carefully. At the top, the valley narrowed again, and small trees and bushes offered some cover. Ling paused to let the team catch their breath.

"Short pause here," she said. "Check gear, drink water if needed. Then we continue carefully. Step by step, together."

After a brief rest, Ling signaled them to move.

"Next section is open, but scattered cover is ahead," she said. "Stay alert, keep spacing, and move carefully. Step by step."

Han Yi stood first.

"…Ready. Let's go."

Mu Chen scanned the area.

"…Eyes open. Nothing unusual."

Yue fell in beside Ling.

"…Together."

Lei Feng led slightly ahead, pointing out uneven patches.

"…Careful. Step by step."

Step by step, the team moved down the slope, staying alert. The next group of trees ahead offered shade and some cover.

As they got closer, the trees became denser. Ling raised her hand.

"Almost there," she said. "Step carefully, keep spacing, and stay alert. Step by step, together."

Han Yi scanned the ground.

"…Good footing… nothing unusual."

Mu Chen kept his staff ready.

"…Edges clear. Watch carefully."

Yue stayed close to Ling.

"…Together. Don't let your guard down."

Lei Feng pointed out a few small stones.

"…Step lightly. Step by step."

The team moved into the shade, reaching the next cluster of trees. They paused briefly to drink water and catch their breath. Ling scanned the area.

"Short rest done," she said. "The next stretch will be more open. Keep spacing, stay alert, and move carefully. Step by step, together."

Han Yi stood first.

"…Ready. Let's go."

Mu Chen looked around carefully.

"…Eyes open. Nothing unusual."

Yue fell in beside Ling.

"…Together."

Lei Feng led slightly ahead.

"…Careful. Step by step."

The team stepped out from the shade, moving across the open stretch. The ground was mostly firm, with scattered bushes offering occasional cover. Step by step, they advanced, alert and coordinated, moving toward the next rise where trees promised shade and a chance to pause.

As they approached the rise, Ling raised her hand.

"Open ground ahead," she said. "Stay alert, keep spacing, and move carefully. Step by step, together."

Han Yi adjusted his pack and scanned the area.

"…Eyes open. Nothing unusual yet."

Mu Chen held his staff ready.

"…Step carefully. Watch the edges."

Yue stayed close to Ling.

"…Together. Watch for movement."

Lei Feng pointed out small rocks and uneven patches.

"…Step lightly. Step by step."

Step by step, the team climbed the rise. Birds and small animals scattered at their feet, but no immediate threats appeared. At the top, the trees ahead offered shade and partial cover. The team reached them carefully, ready to rest briefly before continuing further into the valley.

Ling signaled a pause.

"Short rest here. Check gear, drink water, and stay alert. Step by step, together."

Han Yi sank onto a rock.

"…Good to rest."

Mu Chen leaned on his staff, scanning the area.

"…Even resting, stay alert."

Yue adjusted her pack.

"…Ready when you are."

Lei Feng stretched lightly.

"…Short break done. Let's move soon."

Ling nodded.

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

The team prepared to continue, moving steadily toward the next stretch of the valley.

The team moved forward again, stepping carefully across the open stretch. Small bushes and scattered trees offered some cover, but much of the ground was exposed. Ling raised her hand to signal caution.

"Open ground ahead," she said. "Keep spacing, watch the edges, and step carefully. Step by step, together."

Han Yi adjusted his pack and scanned the area.

"…Eyes open. Nothing unusual yet."

Mu Chen held his staff ready.

"…Step carefully. Watch for movement."

Yue stayed close to Ling.

"…Together. Stay alert."

Lei Feng pointed out loose stones and small dips in the ground.

"…Step lightly. Step by step."

Step by step, the team crossed the open ground. Birds and small animals scattered as they passed, but no threats appeared. The rise ahead promised some shade and partial cover, and the team pressed on, alert and coordinated.

As they reached the base of the rise, Ling signaled them to slow.

"Careful here," she said. "Step by step. Keep spacing and watch your footing."

Han Yi scanned the slope above.

"…Good view… nothing unusual."

Mu Chen kept his staff ready, eyes moving along the edges.

"…Edges clear. Watch carefully."

Yue stayed close to Ling.

"…Together. Watch your steps."

Lei Feng pointed out a few loose stones.

"…Step lightly. Step by step."

With careful, coordinated movements, the team climbed the rise. At the top, the valley narrowed again, and small clusters of trees offered partial cover. Ling paused to let the team catch their breath.

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

After a brief rest, Ling signaled them to move.

"Next section is open, but scattered cover is ahead," she said. "Stay alert, keep spacing, and move carefully. Step by step."

"…Eyes open. Nothing unusual."

Yue fell in beside Ling.

"…Together."

Lei Feng led slightly ahead.

"…Careful. Step by step."

Step by step, the team moved down the slope, alert and coordinated, toward the next section of the valley where shade and some cover awaited.

As they moved, Ling raised her hand.

"Almost there," she said. "Step carefully, keep spacing, and stay alert. Step by step, together."

Han Yi scanned the ground.

"…Good footing… nothing unusual."

Mu Chen held his staff ready.

"…Edges clear. Watch carefully."

Yue stayed close to Ling.

"…Together. Don't let your guard down."

Lei Feng pointed out a few small stones.

"…Step lightly. Step by step."

The team moved into the shaded area, reaching the next cluster of trees. They paused briefly, catching their breath and checking gear. Ling scanned the surroundings.

"Short rest done," she said. "The next stretch will be open again. Keep spacing, stay alert, and move carefully. Step by step, together."

Han Yi stood first.

"…Ready. Let's go."

Mu Chen looked around carefully.

"…Eyes open. Nothing unusual."

Yue fell in beside Ling.

"…Together."

Lei Feng led slightly ahead.

"…Careful. Step by step."

The team stepped out from the shade, moving steadily across the next open stretch. The ground was mostly firm, with scattered bushes offering occasional cover. Step by step, they advanced, alert and coordinated, heading toward the next rise in the valley where trees promised the next pause.

As they approached the rise, Ling raised her hand.

"Open ground ahead," she said. "Stay alert, keep spacing, and move carefully. Step by step, together." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

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

The team prepared to continue, moving steadily toward the next stretch of the valley, alert and ready for whatever came next.

The valley ahead opened wider, with scattered rocks and low bushes. Ling signaled them to slow and scan the surroundings.

"…Step carefully. Watch for anything unusual," she said.

Han Yi looked around.

"…All clear so far."

Mu Chen tightened his grip on the staff.

"…Stay alert. Ground is uneven here."

Yue stayed close to Ling.

"…Together. Don't relax."

Lei Feng pointed out small rocks along their path.

"…Step lightly. Step by step."

Step by step, the team moved forward, steadily climbing the next gentle rise. The trees at the top promised shade and a safe spot to rest, but the open ground they crossed kept their senses sharp.

At the top, Ling signaled them to pause again.

"Check gear, drink water, stay alert. Step by step, together."

The team caught their breath, scanning the valley ahead. The next stretch promised open ground, with cover in patches. Ling looked at the group.

"Alright. We move carefully from here. Keep spacing, watch the edges, and step by step. Together."

Step by step, the team started moving again, alert and coordinated, toward the next part of the valley.
