The Escapades
Episode 32

“So how, Senior? Should we discuss ways to--”

Riander clutched her neck and lifted her body before she could finish her sentence until she could no longer speak other than let out a sharp choking sound.

Everyone is surprised. When did he move? They could not even see clearly when Riander was moving. He's like the wind!

The junior tried to break away from Riander's clutches and began to rebel when he could not breathe.

All the Amber team members started preparing to attack but the moment Rian glanced at them, they became frozen in place!

They were frightened to the point of not being able to move at all and their legs began to tremble.

The junior's face turned red as he began to be unable to breathe until his breathing became congested.

Riander loosened his grip and the man fell. She took a deep breath and started coughing as Rian leaned over and patted her face gently.

“It should be polite on the older ones,” he said calmly as he turned around and took his team away.

Amber looked at him as Riander's back slowly disappeared into the distance and her face flushed.

He held his smile for a long time!

So when the other team left he started to jump in happily and his eyes were filled with happiness.

After several breaths to normalize his heart beating violently, he glanced at his team members and his eyes quickly turned as sharp as a dagger.

Before they could protest, Amber first pulled out her weapon. It was a long ribbon tied to a stick as a handle.

The delicate silk ribbons immediately wrapped around their bodies and Amber immediately dragged them into the forest.

Meanwhile, the,

The Riander team had already begun to enter the lush forest area. There were many large trees with dense branches to cover some of the sunlight and cause random patches on the ground.

The Riander then displays a map of his tokens as they gather to form a circle.

“The place circled by the red mark is an area that likely has a lot of precious treasures while the crossed ones are places you should not go in,” explained Riander as he pointed at the map.

“Wah, Senior! You've even marked some good places for us.”

“You're the best!” Paula held her two thumbs up at Riander.

They were filled with high enthusiasm as they all started taking steps towards first place.

Paula began to look around as they entered the increasingly lush forested area.

There were many large trees that covered the sun until they left patches of light on the ground.

Paula sniffed along the way.

“You're like a dog.” Heaven chuckled as he saw how ridiculous he had been since they came out of the Academy.

Paula could not be bothered, instead she continued to sniff in various directions looking for the source of the scent she was smelling.

After finding her, she quickly lowered her head to grab something off the ground and shouted hysterically.

“See!” Paula showed the grass in her hand to them like it was a precious treasure.

They immediately approached but Heaven looked unconcerned at all and placed his hands behind his head. It was just grass, besides looking like a dog, Paula was also like a grass-loving cow.

He chuckled amusedly as he thought about their similarities.

“Wah, it's Hukxin grass!” Bella Star, yelling hysterically.

“Hukxin grass is one of the medicinal plants that have many benefits, they are not including rare but very difficult to cultivate, that is why the selling price is very high. Our academy even only has a few in the medicine pavilion.” Riander explained calmly to them.

Heaven dumbfounded. It looked like ordinary grass outside but was actually a precious item!

He clucked when he saw how the brunette girl was showing off hers to him happily.

Riander clapped as he said, “Time is still long. You guys must have found something, too. Come spirit!”

He's a little different than before. Riander became calmer and friendlier, a lesson he would not forget.

He still clearly remembered how he was doing while in the Demon Land. He was so cornered that he almost died many times before finally making it back alive.

“Hey, Paula, let's megendus again. Are there any other herbs around here?”

Heaven tiptoed as the girl glared at him and pinched his waist hard.

"Sniff your head!"

Bella only chuckles when she sees them while Wira looks uninterested at all.

In the afternoon, Riander was quite surprised when they showed their respective points earned from their tokens.

This group of 10 he led was a leftover group because his other friends had already chosen the team they would guide.

They said this last group only contained bad people so they let Riander take it.

He smiled amusedly. He could already imagine how the others would react when he found out that his group had already nearly met half of their target points in even just one day.

While the others rested, the Riander watched around to make sure no dangerous beasts were approaching.

He climbed onto the rock at the end of the cliff and his gaze swept across the entire area. Riander narrowed his eyes for a while, the dense forest was not as simple as it seemed.

“Senior, come join and eat with us!”

Riander turned to look at Bella waving her hand as she smiled brightly like the twilight sky.

“Good, I came.”

...

Liam lit a bonfire with his strength as the branches in front of him were already stacked into one.

While Bella and Paula were preparing food, Heaven seemed to be relaxing under the tree as she saw how busy they were.

His hand played the storage ring attached to his finger as he glanced at the Wira next to him. But it immediately turned its face away as Wira looked at him.

Heaven still did not stop to think how the Hero could be so relaxed while wearing that ribbon. He felt dizzy and twitched his temple at the thought of that.

“Not one day but you have almost met half of the target points. I'm surprised!” riander said as they surrounded the campfire and dinner.

“That's all thanks to Liam and Bella!”

“Betul, they have extensive knowledge,” Heaven said.

They both became misbehaved. No one had ever praised them before, it made them not understand how to behave.

“Thank you,” said Bella with a blushing face.

The two of them were close friends since childhood, Bella and Liam also signed up for the exam together. They came from the village under the foot of the mountain, which was why many people underestimated him.

They were poor and had no support whatsoever so there was nothing they could rely on but themselves.

Riander glanced at the two of them and realized the discomfort in their hearts. So he immediately distracted everyone and started talking.

“After points are collected. Will it go straight back or--?”

“No, no.” Paula interrupted immediately.

“It is very difficult to get out of the academy, I want to enjoy a few more days and explore this island,” Paula continued.

While the others agreed.
