"My watch has a compass."
Abis shook his head, "Even if you know the direction, you have no experience living in the forest, and you won't make it out. Even if you don't get lost, you could be attacked by wild beasts or venomous snakes. I will never let you go alone!"
Mai Xiaomai paused for a moment.
