The ground beneath their feet was sometimes soft, sometimes hard, requiring extra caution with every step.
Wendy and Isabella occasionally discussed possible dangers and countermeasures.
Michel and Thomas silently guarded the flanks, constantly alert to their surroundings.
Alex walked at the front, his steps steady and strong.
Although his face remained calm, his sharp disciples could sense that his entire focus was on the unknown ahead.

"What's wrong, Mr. Watson?" Wendy asked softly.

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped.
