Chapter 615 The One Expected Has Arrived

After searching for a while, the elder pointed toward a tree not too far away and suggested hiding up in the tree, saying the view was better up there and it was less likely for anyone to spot us. Even if we were spotted, we could just pretend to be ghosts and scare them off. Of course, by 'we' he meant if Luo Zhen and his group found us, we should scare them by playing ghosts. As for passersby, if they saw us, so be it.

The elder then walked over to the tree first. The tree wasn't too big, but it was large enough to hide two people. When we got to the tree, he told me to climb up first. Climbing such a tree was quite easy for me, but to save time, the elder helped me by lifting my legs, allowing me to quickly scramble up the trunk.

After I climbed up, I crouched down, holding onto the trunk, and then reached down to give the elder a hand—something he had instructed before I climbed up. It was much faster this way rather than going up one by one which would waste time.
