Callum managed to wrap his arms around Elspeth and rolled toward the underbrush with her in the nick of time.

The rocks rolled down the steps made from bluestones with a series of thuds.

Still reeling from the shock, Elspeth looked at the man. “Fortunately, you saved me at the most critical moment. Otherwise, I would’ve been struck by the rocks.”

“Don’t say that.”

Callum looked up and saw several people disappearing into the darkness.

Just as he expected, some people had tried to harm them.

Elspeth squinted. “They probably knew we’d be here, so they took the opportunity to harm us.”

“You’re intelligent.”

It wasn’t until the rocks were all gone that Callum pulled her up.

“We shouldn’t keep using the trail to prevent anyone from targeting us again.” Callum took a deep breath and glanced at the thicket beside them. “Why don’t we go up the mountain from here?”

All of a sudden, Elspeth had a strange idea. “Are you trying to make out with me in the thicket?”

Callum thought, Are you alright?

“Fine, I’ll stop messing around. Let’s go.” When Elspeth fished out her phone and saw over 20 missed calls, she rubbed her nose. “I guess Eric must be anxious now.”

An unfazed Callum replied, “Just let him wait.”

Elspeth knew that he only meant to mock Eric. Soon, they passed through the thicket together and finally reached the peak of the mountain.

When Eric saw them emerging from the thicket instead of the trail, he was shocked.

“Did you walk up the mountain or go on an adventure in the forest?”

A helpless Elspeth rolled her eyes. “We were playing PUBG in real life.”
