Yan Shi slightly smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's fine. We just need to clear out a small area, then make a fire in the center of it. Moreover, it's September now, so the air in the mountains is moist and it won't catch fire easily."
Ah Dai said, "Let's make a fire then. I'll take care of it."
After a short while, they gathered a load of wood and piled it up on a cleared area of a small hillside. Ah Dai used a basic Flame Spell to dry the wood first, then lit it up. The bonfire brought them warmth and light; they all sat around it, their faces glowing red in the firelight, feeling warmed in body and heart. They toasted the steamed buns Xuan Yue had brought over the fire to fill their bellies – hot buns tasted a lot better cold. Except for Xuan Yue, the rest enjoyed the food.
"Who dares to make a fire in the mountains?" a loud voice suddenly came through the woods.
