On the outskirts of the Forest of Truth, Cain remained in place, the countdown on his sphere flashing continuously.
[Countdown: 2 hours 58 minutes 36 seconds]
[Distance: 174.61 miles]
"Mike, maybe you should go ahead," Cain suggested, still needing to wait over ten more minutes before he could move on. "Three hours, nearly 180 miles, that's a huge challenge in itself. If we encounter test machines and get delayed, we'll be eliminated from this training!"
It was a hard-earned opportunity, and it couldn't end before it even started. Cain pointed ahead, earnestly saying, "You go first. I have Windstride Slash, my speed is definitely much faster than yours. Once my penalty time is over, I'll come find you."
Mike hesitated for a moment but finally nodded, "Okay." With that, he stepped forward, his shadow moving with him, dodging the 'attack' of the urine.
"Don't forget to watch out for the machines!" Cain reminded.
