Chapter 442: Precious Herb Garden

The lady in the veil Chyou seem to possess the ability to see through the formations which in this case was a very helpful ability.

With that ability, they could easily see through the weak points of the invincible barrier and weaken it with their attacks until it breaks. Otherwise, they might as well be here all day just attacking aimlessly and the wall wouldn't even show signs of weakening.

"There." Chyou whose eyes was closed suddenly opened up as she pointed towards a particular direction.

The four people immediately started to attack that specific point with their blades, repeatedly. Since David had been seen as a weakling and had been underestimated by the five of them, David decided to keep it that way so they wouldn't see him coming at all by the time he decided to attack. 

David placed Flint on his shoulders and joined them to attack the node Chyou had pointed out. The four people young men gazed at David with disdain and arrogance seeing that David's attacks were weak and wasn't able to do much damage. However, they needed to break the formation as fast as possible, get the treasures inside there and get out as soon as possible to avoid been found out by other people.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The cave shook as though wanting to crumble but the wall remained sturdy, only showing a slight crack which was gradually closing up when they stopped the attack.

"Chyou, this formation has a self repairing capability. Can you hurry up with finding the second node?" Yan Hong said impatiently.But Chyou didn't seem to have heard him as her eyes remained closed, seemingly searching for the second node point. 

"Don't be in a hurry Yan Hong. I think lady Chyou is doing the best she can for us." Long Zhi reprimanded. 

The rest kept quiet and continued striking at the node points, sending out what seem to be their 'best attacks' including David. They obviously wouldn't show their more stronger attacks here and instead, the were using casual attack to break down the invincible of Wall. 

Keeping one's trump card hidden is a skillful and widely known way of survival. 

"There." Lady Chyou opened her, pointing towards a specific part of the wall. 

"Yan Hong and I would break this new node while the two of you and the kid with a pet continue breaking the node." Long Zhi commanded. With Yan Hong, they focused their attention on the new node while David and the other two people continue wearing down the old node. 

But Long Zhi and Yan Hong seem to be the strongest within the group apart from the mysterious lady Chyou whose ability was unreadable. They couldn't see through the lady, but the rest didn't dare to underestimate her.

This went on for about an hour. Lady Chyou finally spotted the last node and eventually the formation cracked as all its energy was been exhausted by the group.

"It's cracking! Send in your strongest attacks!" They were immediately excited and the five of them attacked ferociously.

Lady Chyou seem to have been exhausted since she didn't attack the formation with them. Instead she sat cross legged, recovering her mental energy. At a place where the energies here are more than abundant, it wouldn't take much time for her mental energy to be filled up.

Crackle!

BANG! 

The formation shattered like a piece of huge glass. A massive but harmless flow of energy escaped from within the caves, slamming into the six of them like a storm.

Without warning, the six of them dashed into the cave like headless chickens. Yan Hong was the fastest amongst them as he dashed forwards like a phantom. 

Seeing this, Long Zhi immediately performed a hand seal, he seem to have merged with his blade as his speed increased drastically. 

Hong Cai didn't seem to be the type to lose out as he also performed a one handed sign. Brainwaves exploded as his speed also increased drastically. 

Lady Chyou's speed seemed slow but in fact, she had caught up with Yan Hong and was surpassing him without the use of a lightness skill. 

David eyes were wide open. It was the first time he was seeing techniques that could aid the physical body being used. Even within the academy, he hadn't seen others using this sort of technique. 

In his memories where he had stored some of the techniques he also couldn't find a technique that could make one's speed increase drastically. 

"Dammit!" he couldn't help but curse. If it weren't for the restrictions placed on him, he would have left the give of them in the dust a long while ago. 

After sometime, he had finally entered deep within the cave where the energy was the strongest. Right at the center of the case was a huge garden with various plants right at the center. 

At first, David was slightly disappointed since herbs weren't particularly of use to him, since he didn't know much about them. But he gazed at the expression of the other five students, their eyes were full of shock and anxiety as they started plucking the herbs and quickly placing them within their storage ring.

From the expression on their faces, it was as though they wished they had more hands seeing how anxious their expressions were. 

The less valuable herbs here was a grade two herb while the most valuable was a grade three and some pseudo grade four. A plant that was on the verge of reaching grade four. Given more time, probably a few decades, they would advance to become a grade four herb. 

There was no need to be told, David immediately got to work. He started to pluck the herbs at random, uprooting them and then placing them them in his storage ring. 

In just a minute, his storage ring was already full. Seeing this, David brought out another storage ring and proceeded to pack it full. The storage ring was one which he had taken from Feng Lin's corpse. 

And just like that, the other storage ring was filled. But it was as though David had been waiting for this moment. As another storage ring appeared in his hands, he proceeded to fill it up again. One could only imagine just how many storage ring David had. 

The people he had killed, he had taken their storage rings as some sort of trophy but most importantly, he had taken it because he didn't want to miss out on any treasure his opponent might have had. 

Although, he still hadn't found anything really valuable within the storage ring, some of them contained fine wines and gold which David wouldn't pass on. But who would have expected that his weird hobby of collecting storage rings would be helpful to him. As of this moment, he had eleven storage rings. Three was already full while remaining eight were waiting to be filled. 

And with the vast amount of herbs here, it was more than enough to fill the whole storage rings with him. David hummed in happiness, grabbing herbs like he was picking stones and then storing them within the storage rings. 

However, he forgot to account for something or maybe he just didn't care. The others who came here only brought a single storage rings with them. They were the pride of their various academy and their arrogance was above taking their enemies storage rings after killing them. They weren't like David who took and kept his enemy's storage rings 

Even if they had taken the storage rings of people they had killed, they wouldn't be bothered with keeping any of it. They wouldn't have expected that they would need it at a place like this. 

The others had picked up the pseudo grade four herbs but with the grade amount of grade three herbs David had, the quantity already surpassed the quality. 

With their storage rings filled up Yan Hong, Hong Cai, Ren Liang, Long Zhi, and lady Zhi gazed at the herbs with regret and wished that they had more storage rings to store be herbs in. 

It wasn't much longer that they noticed that David seem to have an endless supply of storage rings. 

Long Zhi's eyes flashed maliciously and he smiled. With his speed, he plucked give different herbs and threw them towards David. 

Sensing this, David turned around, only to see herbs flying at him. Having no choice, he grabbed it and gazed at Long Zhi with a puzzled expression. 

"Help me keep this kid, I will collect them when we are done here." With that, he grabbed other plants with speed that was more than two times Davids' and threw the herbs at him. 

David's expression obviously turned ugly as he caught the herbs and kept it within his storage rings. How could he not know what Long Zhi was planing to do. After they exit the cave, he would definitely ask for two or three storage rin

gs from David or even forcibly collect the whole storage rings. 

'This should be fun.'
