When Xia Zhi heard this, she was secretly shocked. She really did not expect that all of his seemingly unintentional actions had deep hidden intentions.

No wonder he thought her stupid. Compared to someone as outstanding and experienced as him, wasn't she just an idiot that he found useless?

"Oh." When Xia Zhi heard this, he calmed down a lot.

"I'm fine. He kicked a wooden stake. The pain was excruciating. I need a break. Get off my back first. " Pei Yaochen said casually, but he did not bend his waist.

Xia Zhi did not doubt him, and anxiously jumped down from his body, extending his hand to support him.

However, he still shouted loudly, "Don't touch me! I stepped on the trap the hunter had set for the bear. "Now, if I move even the slightest bit, I will trigger the mechanism and we will most likely be pierced by a random arrow."

When Xia Zhi heard this, she immediately retracted her hand and asked in panic, "Then what do we do? Tell me, what do I need to do to help you out? "

"You don't have to do anything. Just move ten meters to the left horizontally, and then stand still and wait. " Pei Yaochen said calmly, "Don't worry, within a radius of fifty meters, there shouldn't be two mechanisms. You can safely shift around. "

Xia Zhi clenched her teeth, "I don't want to go. I just want to stay here with you. "

Pei Yaochen frowned, "Once I trigger the mechanism, arrows will fly everywhere, I have to focus on dodging the arrows, so I don't care about you. If you stay here, not only will it be useless, it will also distract me, I even have to spare some energy to protect you. You're not doing this for my own good, you're hurting me, see? "Stop wasting time, time waits for no one, leave immediately!"

Hearing that, Xia Zhi knew that what he was saying was the truth, although she was worried, she did not dare be willful anymore, and anxiously said: "Then you must be careful."

"I know." Pei Yaochen smiled lightly, "I'm not going to throw my life away just for you, you idiot! "Hurry up and go!"

Xia Zhi was helpless, she followed his orders and walked to the left, probably stopping after walking for around 10 metres. Just as she was about to open her mouth to signal that she had reached a safe place, she suddenly heard the sound of sharp objects ripping the air apart.

Her heart skipped a beat, knowing that he had triggered the trap. She bit down on her lips to prevent herself from making even the slightest sound. She was afraid that if she made even the slightest movement, it would distract him and cause his injury.

She waited with bated breath for tens of seconds until everything calmed down. Then, she tried to walk back, and shouted with a trembling voice: "Pei Yaochen, are you alright? Are you hurt? "

No one answered.

Her heart immediately started beating wildly in fear. The sounds were like the beating of a giant drum. It was so painful that it almost broke her eardrums.

She quickened her pace, and her voice was even more shaky than before, "Pei Yaochen, do you think you're dead or alive? Pei Yaochen, you … "

Before he even finished his words, Pei Yaochen's low voice, which seemed to be slightly weak, came over from not too far away, "Don't scream. I won't die that easily. "

Xia Zhi was surprised and happy at the same time. She quickly followed the sound and only when she stepped on something soft and heard Pei Yaochen groaning in pain, did she realize that she had stepped on him. She hurriedly pulled back her leg and bent down to touch him.

Her heart ached as she asked with a trembling voice, "You're injured!"
