Chapter 66: The Excursion Group of the Dragon Fun Society
Perhaps it was due to obtaining the High-Level Pass.
Along the way, aside from encountering monsters, none of the labyrinth rules Xia Li had mentioned triggered.
Gazing at the empty Dragon Pit Lake.
He expanded his perception to its maximum; everything within a three-hundred-meter range lay clear in his mind.
Quickly.
He discovered some traces not far from the lakeside.
They appeared to be signs of life left after camping: a fire pit and daily trash.
The Fufeng people would not leave such things; it could only be adventurers who came to the labyrinth.
"This is more than just two people."
The two arrived at that campsite.
Large patches of pink tender grass were trampled; judging by the affected area, there were at least three large tents.
Rod picked up a sheet of yellowish-brown oil paper from the ground, on which the four artistic characters 'Yufi Sweet Biscuits' were written.
In the fire pit sat a dirty white water bottle, tied with a lace-trimmed lanyard.
Beside it lay a pair of exquisite brown round-toed small leather shoes, stained with some pink mud.
Such items, still functional yet abandoned, were everywhere in this deserted camp.
Do not think this was left unintentionally during their hasty departure.
The place was neatly arranged, footprints were orderly, and there were no traces of combat at all; it was obvious they were deliberately left behind.
"May I ask, did they come here for a labyrinth picnic?"
Rod smiled helplessly.
He kicked through the trash pile with his foot and discovered a spell satchel.
When he opened it, he was surprised to find it filled entirely with crumpled paper balls and other trash.
"My god, using a spell satchel as a trash can."
"They are all very young; at least five, no more than sixteen-year-old male humans."
Tally said.
She judged their age based on the lingering scent of their vital energy.
"You can even smell out their age? Is that how all succubi are?"
Rod was somewhat shocked.
Previously, Tally's ability to smell out their race and number had already been enough to surprise him; now she could even determine their age.
"Only a Young Lady like Tally would do such a thing, hehe~"
She half-closed her eyes, shaking her head proudly.
This morning, the succubus had transformed into a one-meter-fifty-five-tall girl with a magnificent chest, her appearance pretty and cute, very similar to Rod.
According to her, today's persona was that of a younger sister.
"Can you smell Xia Li and Gema?"
"Of course not; they are both girls."
Rod decided to wait at this spot for a while.
Since he was exempt from most labyrinth rules and possessed great strength, he naturally traveled very fast.
As for those two fourth-tier noobs, having to deal with the rules on one hand and avoid monsters on the other, their slowness was understandable.
Without a guide, he didn't even know which direction Emerald City lay.
Time passed to the evening of the following day.
Rod sat with his back to the makeshift camp.
He was seated on a chair, facing the red Dragon Pit Lake and the setting sun.
Sipping hot tea while admiring the beautiful scenery.
Beside him, Tally, cooking by the fire pit, wore a chef's outfit; she dipped her finger into the soup ladle, tasting a drop of broth.
Still maintaining the younger sister persona, the contrast between her magnificent chest and petite figure was striking.
Under Rod's direction, the long skirt had been swapped for a miniskirt paired with thigh-high white stockings.
The full, plump thighs showed a squeezed, fleshy texture between the white stockings; the glimpses of scenery beneath the skirt were irresistible.
"Ah~ How annoying~~ What are you looking at~"
The succubus had just finished dinner not long ago.
In the air, the boiling carrot and chicken soup emitted an enticing aroma.
Feeling the tranquil moment, for a time, Rod was reminded of his days in the forest.
He wondered how Vivian and the others were doing.
Xia Li and Gema still had not appeared.
"If I still don't see them by tonight, I should go look for them."
Tally would remain here waiting, so as not to miss them.
At that time, Rod would grant her some permissions regarding the Nu Yi Zhou to share their locations.
Just then.
Rod suddenly felt someone enter his perception range.
Not one person, but a group.
Counting them, there were fully nineteen.
Men and women, mostly with strength around the third to fourth tier; among them, the highest were two sixth-tiers, one high-segment and one mid-segment.
Rod made no further response.
"Someone is coming; it should be that group that stayed here before."
"Oh."
Tally obediently replied, then transformed back into a long skirt.
A short while later.
Sounds of laughter and play came from the woods to the side.
They made no effort to conceal their noise, acting with complete recklessness; anyone who didn't know the situation and saw them would surely think a group of students had come for a spring outing in the woods.
Yet, the truth was exactly that.
A group of human boys and girls, all dressed in black robes, appeared in Rod's field of vision.
They all looked to be around thirteen or fourteen years old, vibrant and bright; the material of their black robes was excellent, and each of them carried at least three magic rings in their hands.
In front of them, two adult human women led the way.
They were the strongest in power; one cleared the path while the other maintained discipline—truly like teachers taking students out for a spring outing!
Rod had not hidden himself; he sat openly watching the sunset and drinking hot tea, so that group immediately spotted him on the shore.
The sounds of laughter and play stopped immediately.
Then, the sound of hushed whispers arose.
Among them, the teacher with dark red hair paused for a moment, then released a spiritual sense to perceive.
Upon learning that the one ahead was only at the peak of the Fifth Tier, she quickly relaxed.
She ignored Rod and led a crowd of students straight toward the abandoned campsite over there.
Then, the same sounds of play and laughter from before rang out again.
From the few words they could catch, it seemed they were searching for something.
Meanwhile, the other female teacher, who looked relatively plain with short hair, came over to greet Rod.
"Good evening, Mr."
She offered a slight bow, then introduced herself.
"My name is Miss Miss Milinda Roche. We are from Bahadur Magic Academy and have come here specifically for a study tour."
It really was a school outing.
Rod felt helpless.
Bahadur Magic Academy.
It seemed he had heard it mentioned by the witch Dimia.
After a brief exchange.
He quickly learned that they were from an interest club at Bahadur Magic Academy—the Dragon Interest Club.
This was a student club focused on researching and discussing dragons; every year, they would organize a study tour group to visit the Dragon Pit Lake here.
This trip was exactly that.
"You understand, Mr. Rod, they are still young and not as steady as an adventurer like you; they often lose things. See? Someone has already taken something important."
Miss Miss Milinda looked at the students searching the abandoned campsite and kept complaining.
Perhaps due to Rod's appearance, this female teacher's eyes brightened slightly, and she moved closer and closer.
As she spoke, she began to make physical contact.
Still, Tally walked over and pushed her away.
"Who is this?"
Seeing the other's behavior so possessive, Miss Miss Milinda felt a bit disappointed.
What a pity; the handsome man is taken.
"She is..."
"I am his biological sister!"
Tally placed her hands on her hips and puffed out her chest, her breasts proudly displayed, causing Miss Miss Milinda, with her flat figure, to shrink back repeatedly.
Just as they were chatting.
Suddenly.
From the student group still searching for the lost item not far away, a sentence drifted out:
"Could it be that he took it?"
In an instant, the laughter ceased, and it seemed everyone's gaze turned over.
