62- Setting out 2 After done eating, I saw that Armelia was yawning, so I asked her, “Hey Armelia, did you not sleep?” Armelia replied, “As you were unconscious and I was worried that any accident might happen with you while I was sleeping, so I did not sleep.” Hearing this a smile appeared on my face and I rubbed her small head with my hand. And said, “Thank you for taking care of me. Sleep for a few hours and then we will set off.” “Heyy...” Armelia shyly looked at me with half-closed eyes and her face was slightly red. It was like she enjoyed the feeling but she wanted to show an angry expression as I touched her head and treated her like a small girl. I removed my hand and went a little away from Armelia and laid down. Seeing me lay, Armelia also laid down and closed her eyes. As I had enough sleep, I was not sleepy. So, to pass some time, I decided to check the unread messages from the system. So, I started looking at the messages one by one. ‘ding’ ‘Hid

64- Trouble 1 I picked up the few ‘Violet Leaf Orchid’ which grew on a bush and stored them in the storage box. And ate one ‘Violet Leaf Orchid’. The ‘Violet Leaf Orchid’ tasted bitter nevertheless, I ate it and swallowed it completely. After waiting for a few minutes, nothing happened. I smiled bitterly and realized that it was my wishful thinking that my chances will be high enough to get a ‘Strength’ or ‘Agility’ stat. Shaking my head, I continued walking with Armelia and continued using the ‘Observation’ skill. . ‘ding’ Bone Washing flower: -> Is helpful for those who are in the Beginning and Refinement stage, especially when refining, cultivating, and reinforcing bones. -> Rank I Item ‘ding’ Blood Ginseng: 10 years old -> Helps in recovering lost blood and improving blood quality. -> Rank H item. ‘ding’ ‘Found Red Skinwood’ ‘ding’ ‘Found Chlamir’ ‘ding’ ‘Found Hematite’ ‘ding’ ‘ding’ Like this, I started collecting all the useful herbs,

66- Fight or Flight 1 “Hehehe, looks like these kids found us.” Following this sentence, many men came out who were hiding behind trees and bushes. Then a man bald man with a big beard came forward and spoke, “Hehehe, what are you kids doing in such a dangerous place? Did you by any chance get away from your parents and got lost in the forest? Or did you guys run away from your home to escape some shitty marriage fixed by your family?” Hearing this everyone started laughing. And hearing this voice, I can confirm that this guy was the one who spoke earlier and from the looks of it, he must hold a high position in the group or he might even be the leader of the group. And his words might sound friendly, but I can sense the hidden malicious and killing intent behind the bald man’s words. The bald guy’s body is not much scary, he is about 5.6 or 5.7 feet tall, or in simple terms, he has a height equal to mine. And he has a huge tummy. He’s wearing nothing but a sleevele

68- Difficult situation Just when I felt that the situation could not get any worse, I read the system warning and frustration started building up. “Calm down...calm down...ughh fusk” I tried calming down, but with all the pressure, I was unable to. According to the system’s warning, due to the ‘Resistance’ stat being stuck at 46, there is an imbalance in my stats. If I am not wrong, then the warning is because my body is unable to bear the addition of so many ‘Free stat points’. It's like, if the foundation of a building is not strong and it is constructed to have multiple floors, then it will soon collapse. Here although the ‘Defense’ stat is increasing continuously, but the ‘Resistance’ stat is still stuck. And according to the system, the ‘Defense’ stat strengthens my body externally, while the ‘Resistance’ stat strengthens my body internally. So, my body needs to be strengthened both internally and externally, which in return will help my body to sustain the strai

70- Fight with the Bald guy 1 “Hey skeleton brat, you better stop running and surrender now, or else, when our other members catch you, I will seriously make you regret it. But if you surrender now, then I will only break your hands and then sell you in the slave market. Rest assured that the slave traders will heal you if we give them a proper discount.” Hearing this I can only control my anger and continue to think of a way to get out of this situation or else I will be surrounded by the bald guy’s people. Armelia who was on my back spoke, “Hey Orochi, I think you should leave me and escape. I am nothing but a burden to you. From the first day we met, you have been saving me and yesterday I thought that... maybe I was of some use. But still, I am just a burden to you.” After she finished speaking, a few drops of water fell on my shoulder. When I looked back, I saw that Armelia was crying quietly. Seeing this I got startled and suddenly I fell into a dilemma. A part of
