The return journey was even smoother than the way out.
The two additional goblin clearing missions taken before departure had already been completed, eliminating the need to spend extra time searching for goblin nests.
Although this meant losing the opportunity to indulge desires and relieve stress, it undeniably saved Xia Nan a lot of time.
And behind him, the two young companions he thought might slightly delay the journey turned out to be quite unexpected.
On the road, they were very obedient, never defying Xia Nan's words. Even when he made decisions that ordinary people might not understand, like suddenly going quiet during the journey or inexplicably taking a long detour, they never questioned why, only simply complied.
At the same time, they did their best to help him with tasks like gathering firewood and cooking food, reducing Xia Nan's energy expenditure.
