However, when Qin Fang took out his phone, it displayed no signal in a most unfortunate manner. Not resigned to defeat, he tried again, but the call still couldn't go through.

Having fallen from the cliff, Li Yang and the others must be extremely anxious, even to the point that they might send a search party for his "corpse"…

But in these massive mountains stretching over a thousand meters high, it's easy to ascend but quite difficult to descend, not to mention the dense cover of the Primitive Forest. The difficulty of finding a body would be incredibly magnified. And with the presence of fierce beasts, it was even more hopeless to find anything.

Facing this situation, Qin Fang naturally hoped to notify them that he was fine, to at least spare Chu Yunxuan back in Jincheng, or even Tang Feifei and Xiao Muxue in Ninghai, from worrying…

"Sigh, it looks like I must wake this man up, only he knows the way out of the mountains…"

He glanced at the fellow he had rescued not far away. The man's clothes were not those of a wild man or a mountain dweller, so Qin Fang was certain he had come from outside the mountains and naturally knew how to exit this great mountain.

Once out of the mountains, his phone would be able to receive a signal, and then he could contact Li Yang and the others. He wouldn't have to worry them anymore, and there would be no need to send bad news to Chu Yunxuan and the others…

"My head, it hurts so much..."

As if responding to Qin Fang's intense desire, the man's body quivered slightly, and although his eyes weren't fully open, he raised his hand to his forehead and let out a pained moan.

Qin Fang had already noticed that the man had suffered serious impacts on his body and head. His body wasn't feeling much pain, partially due to the Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training Golden Bell Cover Qin Fang employed, or possibly it was completely numb.

But the head is one of the most critical parts of the body. A severe impact there is extremely sensitive and also the most likely to lead to complications.

"Are you awake?"

Seeing the man come to and his eyes slowly opening, a smile spread across Qin Fang's face. He greeted the man warmly.

"Eh... you, who are you?"

The man was momentarily taken aback. Upon hearing Qin Fang's voice, he almost instinctively tried to leap up from the ground, attempting a defensive posture.

However, the motion tugged at his injuries, causing him severe pain, which made him grimace. Still, he looked at Qin Fang with a face full of surprise and asked.

"My surname is Qin. I got lost in the mountains, and by chance found you in this lake, so I rescued you..."

Qin Fang's words were a mix of truth and falsehood. Falling from a thousand-meter-high cliff and not dying was already an astonishing feat. Additionally, Qin Fang was unsure whether the man had seen him and the Dragon King descend from the sky... Therefore, he spoke with some reservations.

"From the lake… you saved me… I… who am I?"

The man, listening to Qin Fang's words, showed a strange expression on his face. He was slowly processing Qin Fang's meaning, but... "My head, it hurts so much... Who… who am I exactly?"

Rubbing his head, he tried hard to recall his past, seemingly eager to discover his identity, but he couldn't remember anything, and his head was throbbing with pain.

"Amnesia?"

Qin Fang also froze, his expression one of great surprise.

Though it is indeed possible for a severe blow to the head to cause amnesia, such cases are rare in reality, despite being a frequent trope in novels and television... And now, this melodramatic event had happened right before Qin Fang, to a man Qin Fang urgently needed to lead him out of the mountains!

"You… don't remember who you are?"

Qin Fang couldn't believe it. Staring at the man, who was struggling with pain, he wondered if he might be feigning amnesia. Taking advantage of the man's unstable spirit, he immediately used the Mind Reading Technique to probe his inner thoughts.

But…

"Damn it, playing with me on purpose..."

Qin Fang eventually became resigned and helpless. The man's brain was a blank slate, and even though there were some fragmented memories, they were completely disconnected.

The man himself couldn't piece these memory fragments together, meaning he truly... had amnesia.

To a person with amnesia, the past is already forgotten, and there is nothing in the mind but broken thoughts. No matter how powerful Qin Fang's Mind Reading Technique was, it couldn't extract the necessary information from the mind of someone with amnesia...

Faced with such a situation, Qin Fang truly had no options left.

In such deep mountains, with no transportation, no communication signals, no sense of the route or direction, anyone would feel utterly helpless. The only way to self-rescue was to commit to a direction and keep moving.

Luckily, Qin Fang's backpack was still intact, and all the tools inside were still there, including a usable compass, though the map was now useless since he was off the pre-planned route.

And moreover…

"I have to carry this burden..."

Looking at the pitiable man who didn't even know himself, Qin Fang felt truly helpless. The man had already been woken, and it wouldn't be possible to just leave him alone in the mountains to fend for himself.

"Stop worrying about who you are! Let's go, it's not dark yet, we should hurry on our way..."

Watching the sky, the sun was still hanging up there, illuminating a direction for Qin Fang and his companions. Taking advantage of the daylight, it was crucial to keep moving. If night fell... even if they wanted to continue, they wouldn't know which way to go.

Not to mention that the deep mountains are most dangerous at night! (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
