Chapter 66: Shadows in the forest
After being injured by the bunnies, and seeing as he was about to be surrounded, Jake decided to activate the Qi in his cells, therefore strengthening them and also healing his injuries.
Jake stood up from his kneeling position on the floor with a smile on his face. "Let's go for round two you annoying bunnies shall we?"
Immediately Jake finished talking, he dashed towards the bunny closest to him and then he swung his sword on its tail and immediately, the bunny was sliced into half. With the Qi empowering Jake, he felt much stronger and lighter so he was able to slice the bunny into half.
Jake kept on going from bunny after bunny, slicing them in half very easily. That was when another bunny was heading for Jake's legs but an arrow quickly flew past and lunged into the bunny's head therefore killing it. Hearing the sound the arrow made while flying past, Jake turned around and then he saw a bunny dead with an arrow lunged deep in its head.
Seeing the arrow, Jake knew where it came from but he just continued what he was doing by going from beast after beast. And then finally, after a few minutes, they were all done hunting and killing the Hop bunnies. Immediately Jack killed the last of the Hop bunnies, they all fell on the floor exhausted.
They all decided to rest for some time before they will find their way back to the academy. Kate was now twisting her head around looking at all the beasts they killed. "We sure did kill a lot of beasts today."
"Yeah. A lot." Vynn added. "Do you think it's enough now?"
"I think it's pretty much enough for today because I'm exhausted." Cindy said.
"Yeah me too." Vynn said.
After a few minutes of resting, they decided to start harvesting the beast cores. They harvested for ten minutes, because they didn't know where the core will be located on the beast but when they managed to find out it was located in the center of the bunny's head, it became easier to get the crystal.
When they were done, they split the crystals accordingly by the number of kills you got. Jake got 5 crystals, Peter got 3 crystals, Kate got 2 crystals, Vynn 2 crystals, Cindy 2 crystals, Sophia, 3 crystals Jack got 3 crystals. So in total, that was 20 crystals from the Hop bunnies.
Jake had 7 crystals in total in his possession but it will be lowered to 6 by the time he donated ten percent to the academy. After they were done harvesting, they all left and followed the tracks they made on the trees to get out of the forest unknown to them that two individuals were on top the trees watching them when they were hunting.
"Did you see that?" Kim asked Kilberg. "I told you that the Kids were a strong bunch especially the one we want to get rid of."
"And I will tell you again. Patience, we can handle them. Don't worry." Kilberg replied as they hurriedly run and jump from one tree to another in order to get to the forest entrance In time.
Jake and his friends were finally got to the forest entrance and they could only see two out of the four Guild members but they just shrugged it off and then the each dropped one crystals out of their crystals with them.
When they dropped their crystals, they went off to the side to wait for the rest of the students to come out so they could all go back to the academy. After an hour, the whole teams were now here including Kim and Kilberg. Your journey continues with empire
After the whole teams were here and accounted for, Kilberg brought out a strange looking device and then he pressed a button on it and a portal opened up then all the students went through one by one and then finally The Iron Fist Guild members entered and the portal zipped and zapped a few seconds and then it was closed.
When the students got back at the academy, they were censored again to see if any of them were missing before they were told to head back to their dorm room to get rest. While walking, Jake couldn't stop grinning. 'This crystals should be enough to get me more credits. And it turns out Sophia was right, I think I was hallucinating when I saw my mom warning me for nothing bad happened today.'
After a few minutes of walking, they got to their dorm room and they all fell on the bed to rest. Today was a Friday so tomorrow is going to be their day off since it was a weekend and it was the day Jake will head into town again to sell some of the crystals.

Meanwhile, in a desolate land that looked a lot like a desert, a portal opened up and then two men stepped out of it then they examined their surroundings. Before the portal closed up.
"Remember, we are only here to scout so no causing of problems okay?" One of the men told the other.
"Yeah, I heard you loud and clear. This is like the second time you are telling me this. We are here to scout and also find Digg because he was supposed to report back a few weeks ago." The man said.
The man who initially started talking smiled. "If this scouting mission is successful, they won't know what hit them. And then finally, that pesty academy that always troubled us will fall followed by those annoying big three and then finally the whole earth will belong to us."
"And then we will be the rulers of the whole earth." The second man said and then they both laughed out loud before they left the desolate land to explore.
