Chapter 1037: Choosing to Conceal_1

To find Deng Chun, Tong Tiehu had to cross Rooster Mountain. In the past, with his light-footed martial skills, he could have easily leapt over the mountain in mere minutes, but now he could only ascend and descend the mountain step by step with the aid of crutches, a process that took him an hour.

Standing at the foot of Rooster Mountain and looking at the endless expanse of the primeval forest before him, Tong Tiehu panted slightly with fatigue and said to Qiao Xiaomai, "Start a fire."

The primeval forest hadn't been tread upon for many years, and the ground beneath the trees was covered with fallen leaves, soft and difficult terrain for walking.

Deng Chun's Tree House was somewhat deeper into the forest, and he wouldn't be able to hear them calling from here.

They had no choice but to light a fire.

Qiao Xiaomai complied, gathering some leaves and using a lighter to ignite them.
