The mountain ridge was about one meter wide and uneven, with treacherous terrain that was difficult to navigate. On both sides of the ridge were bottomless abysses, with sheer drops of ten thousand zhang deep. To make matters worse, the high altitude brought swift winds, and one could only move in small increments, half a step at a time, to ensure stability.
If one's stride was too large, a strong wind could blow past and, with a single misstep, one would tumble off the ridge. Hence the name "Half a Step More", and this mere twenty-some meters long mountain ridge became a natural barrier for Guoo Shanfeng's bandit gang.
When Ye Zhen reached Half a Step More, it was completely dark, and the mountains and forests became even more shadowy!
