Han Yi walked cautiously, glancing at the ridge ahead.
"…Looks like a short drop… we just have to be careful."
Mu Chen stayed close, staff ready, eyes scanning the surroundings.
"…Step slowly. Watch your footing. No rushing, and keep together."
Yue moved beside Ling, scanning the open area below.
"…It's quiet now… too quiet. Valleys and ridges like this can hide all kinds of surprises."
Lei Feng checked the wind and the ground, noting the safest path down.
"…We'll move in a line, spacing ourselves to help each other if anything happens. Step by step."
Ling led them to the top of the ridge, pausing to look down. The slope wasn't steep, but loose soil and small stones could make footing tricky. She signaled for the team to follow carefully.
"Stay close. One at a time if needed. Watch each other, and don't make sudden movements. Step by step, together," she instructed.
Han Yi adjusted his footing, gripping a nearby shrub for balance.
"…This is fine… we can do this."
