Chapter 441: Encounter

As for why he could switch forms when genetic strength are restricted here, David could guess that since the hybrid is already a part of him, the rules in this place couldn't restrict it.

He has four different forms which was the human form, the werewolf form, the vampire form and the hybrid form where he was at his most powerful, the combination of all three forms.

David's forms weren't a manifestation of genetic energy anymore, they were a changeable part of him now, Just a more flexible part. Although the restrictions within the sacred land was tight, it wouldn't restrict one's true body as long as you were human.

Grabbing the storage ring from the corpse, David checked what was inside and was slightly disappointed. The man only had a few hundred gold in his storage ring, with a few miscellaneous objects clothes, food and wine. Apart from those, he couldn't find anything else.

David sighed and placed the storage ring in his finger. He had a feeling he would soon be needing it.

He went back to go fetch Flint. It seem to be more docile now. Apart from a few growls that escaped its lips, it didn't cause any trouble by trying to run away again.

Putting on another robe, David proceeded to vacate the area. According to his information, there were strong Demonic beasts here and the smell of blood would obviously draw them here.

Although he had sucked most of the blood from the corpse, he didn't finish it all which means there were still a few mili pints of blood in the body.

As David left, he didn't see the part where the body was swallowed up by ground.

Within various parts of the sacred domain, energy waves rippled through the atmosphere as multiple people began to appear one after the other, numbering in the thousands.

Some even had heaven defying luck seeing as they were directly teleported right next to an herb garden, or a hidden place within the domain that contained treasures. The teleportation was totally random.

Which meant that while some people have heaven defying luck, some of the student's bad luck could topple mountains seeing as they landed right in front of the few Rank 3 demonic beast within the domain, or within the dangerous places within the domain.

Blood splattered a fights took places in various parts of the domain for the possession of treasures or just for grudge.

Either way, the Demonic hunt had officially begun!

• * * *

The forest here was quite thick, hard and stubborn as it took a few slashes from his blade just to create a part for himself.

All of a sudden, David paused. He sniffed the air slightly and his head snapped sideways as he felt something a few distance away. Ever since his fight with Feng Lang, David had grown very sensitive with brainwaves ever since his lose back then.

He could feel the brainwaves in the atmosphere were slightly higher than they should have been here. He could also smell the scent or people within the vicinity.

"They are either fighting themselves or they seem to have found some sort of hidden places within the domain." David muttered to himself.

Without any delay, David followed scent of other students we he got closer to the place, he could feel an intense rise in energy which meant that there was some sort of treasure right around here.

Cutting through the thick forest using sword kinesis, he finally got to the place but then, he froze.

There wasn't just one person there, but five people. Four of them were males while the last person was a female whose face wasn't visible as she was putting on a veil on her face.

From their robes, they were from different academies, which was probably the reason the atmosphere was this tense.

The five of them had also noticed David which was why they also froze they were about to settle to accord but the appearance of a new variable could change the entire course of the situation if the person was really strong.

But after they felt the brain waves being emitted from David, a late Mortal realm disciple, their guarded expression turned to indifference. They were all a peak mortal realm. To them, David was a weakling they could crush single handedly.

David froze because he could recognise four out of the five people here. He couldn't recognise the lady since she was putting on a veil though.

But the other four, their names were on the top 20 of the kill list.

Hong Cai, a genius student of the Green Vine academy that had practiced a peak tier mortal rank technique to the highest level.

Ren Liang, also a genius who was said to have walked into a bandit lair containing two early earth realm expert and had walked out with just a few injuries later. He had killed them.

Yan Hong, a man that was no different from a beast. From a young age, he had been killing Demonic beasts and now that he's a grown, his talent in mental energy was exceptional coupled with his aggressive nature, made him a force or be reckoned with.

Long Zhi, he was the highest in the list of the four David could recognise. Number 17 in the kill list. It was said that his earth ranked technique, the Golden dragon was so powerful an early earth realm expert wouldn't be able to withstand a single strike from his sword. His strength was incredibly.

David froze not because he was afraid, he only froze because he could believe his luck! If he killed the four of them, his contribution points would soar right through the rankings.

They were all worth at least half a million contributions points if he was able to kill them all. It was an incredible thought but David wasn't stupid enough to start a fight with them outright.

"It's another weakling, we will take care of him later, let's continue."

Seeing how weak he was, they all chose to ignore David and continued with their discussions.

"We need to break through that invincible barrier first before we decide in our next course of action." Hong Cai suggested.

"Then what happens after we break the barrier? Will all the treasures there be shared equally?" Ren Liang asked with furrowed brows.

"Let's decide what happens after the barrier breaks here before we proceed to bring down the barrier." Yan Hong countered.

"The more we delay the more people would be attracted here by the vast energies gathered here. We need to make a decision quick. How about this, once the barrier is broken, the first person to lay their hands on a treasure will be owner of the treasures. Agreed?" A crystal clear voice similar to birds singing rang out in the forest.

The owner of the voice was the lady in the green veil. The others kept quiet as though they were a bit scared of her. They soon nodded their heads in agreement since the this was a more reasonable suggestion.

"Chyou Fen is right, we will do as you say." Long Zhi voices out in agreement but then, he turned towards David's direction and spoke with indifference.

"But what do we do about this kid? We better finish him off since he's of no use and he might inform other people of this location."

"He might bit be as weak as you think. Moreover, even though not much, having him will quicken the time to collapse this barrier no matter how little it is."

"You are once again right Chyou Fen, we don't have enough time left, before other people sense this place, lets hurry up." Yan Hong said impatiently. He had a beastly and aggressive look to him, which made him no different from a savage.

But if one were to underestimate him because of that, there were destined to die as the others who had done before them.

Five swords soar through the air as they weaved through the atmosphere like fish in a water.

"Don't just stand there kid, join us otherwise you can just die here." Hong Cai warned, gazing at David with an arrogant expression.

David squinted his eyes. According to his senses, Hong Cai was the weakest of the give people here and David knew he wouldn't break a sweat killing this fool. But David was somewhat of the patient type.

This people were walking contribution points, they would surely possess treasure that could guard their lives at least once, so he needed to tread carefully so they won't run away.

Before them was a large wall, but there was a small entrance to the cave which was guarded by an invincible wall.

But the wall wasn't so easy to break since the first few people here have tried to break it and had failed, they had planned to work together to break it.

"Alright Chyou, since you can see the nodes, point it out, we will attack according your instruction." Long Zhi said.
