72 I got two slav- Ahem! I mean.. two servants..

"Well.. we are done here. Let's go!" George wanted to leave this village as soon as possible. He didn't want to do with any of these pig peoples.

But.. Themerm and Mengi asked George to wait for a while. They wanted to say goodbyes to their fellow pigtificates. George wasn't going to be an unreasonable man and forbid them to do that, so he allowed them to do that.

"Fine! I'll wait at the place where all the humans went. Find me there in a few hours!"

They thanked George and ran back to the village immediately. "What will I do if they didn't come back here?" George thought. "If they do that.. uhh.. should I summon more spore creepers to this village? Well.. nah! If they didn't come back I'll just go back to the village and fetch them. after that, I'll give them a lot of work."

George then flew back to the place where he left Li Weixiang and the others. When little ginseng saw him, she immediately ran to him.

"So.. how is the village now?" Li Weixiang curiously asked about the village.

"Haha.. nothing much! With my sniper rifle, it was very easy to kill those things from far away."

Li Weixiang then frowned and asked "I knew it! They were only overreacted, aren't they? Those monsters are very easy to kill and they just- ARGH! Nevermind!"

George was shocked by Li Weixiang too. He was pretty sure that just now.. he was also overreacted a little. George coughed "Actually.. there are a few prizes that I got from saving that village."

"Mmn? What is it? How.. We didn't even get anything from helping them for years. Hmph!"

George wanted to say about the diving suits, but it was not a very good idea. George coughed again and said. "I got two slav- Ahem! I mean.. two servants.. from saving that village. They offered themselves and I was waiting for them to come here.."

Their face just twitched when they heard that. "Did he wanted to say slave? Did he?" All of them thought.

Then he sighed slowly "They said that they wanted to say goodbyes first to their fellows.. But, what will happen if they ran away from me? Well.. let's just wait for them to come here.. I guess?"

"Uhh.. okay.."

George then remembered something that he wanted to ask them. "Oh yeah.. earlier.. I asked you guys about why are you staying in this awful village? Do you liked them so much, that you lived with them?"

They laughed awkwardly. "Actually.. we are lost.."

George was flabbergasted by that. "Wh- what? What did you just say? Did I heard wrongly?"

Li Weixiang coughed and said. "Yeah.. we lost and can't get home... We already used the compass, but it just broke!" He showed a compass that he bought from foreign mercenary that came from another continent.

When George looked at it, the needle on the compass just spun non-stop and didn't show any signs of stopping. "Well.. any compass would do the same thing if you bring it to the nether!" He rolled his eyes, then added "So.. how do you think that you know how to use it? while you don't know in what direction does your portal is in.."

They looked at George weirdly and said "Doesn't all compass do that?"

George frowned "Doesn't compass only show where is the south, west, ect.. and you just followed where you came from?! Or.. is it a different compass that I knew about?"

They nodded their heads "Maybe what you were talking about is a different than what we had."

After they explained about the compass, George summarized that in this world compass is very strange but kinda useful. It had a strange thing to be placed on the place where you came from, and the needles always pointed to it. Different from what he had always known.

And while they were discussing it, Themerm and Mengi showed up nearby. When George saw them coming by, he said to the others "Ah! I see.. Then.. do you guys wanted to go home?"

"Of course we want! Wait.. do Brother Ma knew about the whereabouts of those portals?" All of them excitedly asked.

"Pfft~ Of course! Follow me! I still need to fetch my three disciples back!" All of them then followed George that used the minimap to go to Su Ling and the others.

...

The three disciples were still in the same place from the beginning. It was already a few days, but they didn't see George and little ginseng. It was near the portal to House of Potions, so if they were hungry.. they went back for a little snack. But, of course.. they came back to the nether for farming more experience.

They could only hunt small fries with low health, like nether souls, some crab-like monsters that crawled really fast, those orb thingies that flies around the nether, there's also a flying fire ball that doesn't make any sense, and many more.

After they had surrounded by a lot of monsters, they learned their lesson and only attack the monsters who were attacked them for no reason.

"Oh.. look! Senior sister Su! Senior Brother Sun! An imp! They are so cute!!! I want to catch it!" Mu Yifei looked at a tiny figure on the ground.

"Aww.. he was really cute! And they didn't attack us too!" It exactly looked like a tiny zombie pigmen, but without their gory stuff and those greeny things.

Sun Zhou suddenly said. "Hey! Don't just stare at that imp and forget to be aware of your surrounding! Look there.." He pointed his finger on a sprinting figure.

Su Ling and Mu Yifei's face darkened when they saw that. "Run! It's that bloody pinky!"
