When Yue Yang and the others rushed to the Black Stone Plaza, they discovered that there was an extremely tall man dressed in black armour waiting for them.
This person had a sinister look, with many terrifying scars across his face, making him look like a demon. At first, Ye Kong did not believe that the teacher would really kill the students, but looking at the murderous look of this man in black armour, he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. Maybe this guy would really kill the people who disobeyed his orders. The man in black armour had a pair of eagle eyes that were so sharp that they could see through people's hearts. Forget about normal warriors, even Yue Yang felt a chill in his heart when he looked at him. This kind of terrifying murderous look, this kind of gaze, Yue Yang had seen it on two people before. One was Elder Yue Hai who had killed countless enemies on the battlefield, even in the Demon Abyss, and the other was Feng Kuang who was known as' Thousand Bones Withering '.
If he had not killed thousands of people, he would not be able to accumulate this kind of murderous look. This eagle-eyed man in front of him seemed to be a general who had returned from a pile of corpses after dying nine times on the battlefield.
This kind of murderous look was completely different from that of a normal warrior who had killed beasts.
If this black-armoured eagle-eyed man's murderous look was a sharp sword that could kill people, then a normal warrior's murderous look would at most be a fruit knife. They could not be compared at all.
The students of the Death Class quickly gathered together. Different from Yue Yang and the others who had just joined, these people almost immediately lined up neatly in two rows the moment they arrived. Among them, there were very few males, only six of them. Most of them were females, there were more than twenty of them. What made Yue Yang surprised was that there were also five little kids.
There were boys and girls among these kids, the oldest did not seem to be more than ten years old.
But they were extremely serious, their little heads were raised, their backs were ramrod straight, and their legs were straight, looking like a qualified warrior.
"The five of you form a small group, all of you stand at the back." The black-armoured eagle-eyed man roared at Yue Yang with his hoarse and magnetic voice. After waiting for Yue Yang and the rest to line up, he scanned the surroundings with his eagle-eyed eyes and said coldly, "Our soldiers were ambushed in the Dragon Intestine. Although we returned victorious after a bloody battle, a total of three hundred people were poisoned. They were bitten by a special demonic insect, and the medical center lacks a main medicine, so we are unable to treat them. Now, we must head to the Demonic Abyss and gather a special herb to treat these poisoned soldiers … Within ten seconds, if you want to leave, you can go back and enjoy your beautiful life. Brave warriors who are not afraid of death, follow me! "
"…" Actually, Fatty Hai really wanted to quit. A large group of students going to the Demon Abyss to gather herbs, wasn't that just seeking death? But when he saw that Yue Yang did not say anything, and even the children in front of him looked determined, he was too embarrassed to say that he did not want to go.
"…" Ye Kong and the Li brothers were extremely excited.
Previously, when they attacked the Demon Abyss, they did not contribute at all. It was all Yue Yang who held the fort. He was the one who killed the Demon General and saved everyone.
This made them feel very ashamed.
They did not have the qualifications and ability to fight a war and attack the Demon Abyss, but gathering herbs to save people should not be a problem.
As for Yue Yang, he was even more surprised. The academy often brought students out to train, this was a very proper thing to do. However, normal academies, including Shang Jing Academy, would only go to various places in the Soaring Dragon Continent, such as Wild Horse Wilderness, Snow Bear Ice Field, Wind Wolf Canyon, White Shark Gulf or Grey Eagle's Cliff. At most, they would only go to the first and second floor of Tong Tian Tower to train. The third floor was the final trial for graduation.
Who would have thought that Ivy Academy would go to the Demon Abyss …
What kind of place was the Demon Abyss? Not to mention others, even Yue Yang was very clear about it. It was definitely a place of death!
Even if they did not meet the demon army, it would be extremely dangerous if they met all kinds of strong demons.
For the lives of a few hundred soldiers, Ivy Academy sent more than 30 of their most outstanding students to the Demon Abyss to gather herbs? Among the outstanding students, there was even the Emperor Jun Wu You's daughter! For example, the youngest girl in front was the little princess Bei Bei who played with sand with Yue Shuang during the New Year.
Who would have thought that she would be sent to the Demon Abyss to train when she was only six or seven years old. No wonder she could score 80 marks in the exam papers. What kind of education was this?
This was practically a death-style education …
Yue Yang secretly sweated. This old fellow Jun Wu You was really ruthless. He was indeed made to be an emperor!
A middle-aged doctor who was in charge of the teleportation circle and explaining herbs came forward. In his hands, there were two bottles.
"The herb that we want to gather is the 'Black Eared Shrivelled Heart Orchid'. It is a type of extremely poisonous herb. Before it is boiled, anyone who takes even a drop of it, or touches a small amount of it on their wounds, would bleed to death within a minute. At the same time, it is very similar to the 'Rat Spot Flying Yang Grass'. The former's leaves have thorns, while the latter's leaves have hairs. However, this is only a small amount. It is almost impossible to distinguish them with the naked eye. You have to rely on touch, or use your beast's special sensing ability. The bottle on the left is the Black Eared Shrivelled Heart Orchid; the bottle on the right is the Rat Spot Flying Yang Grass. You can let your beast smell it. After the two are boiled, the toxicity of the Black Eared Shrivelled Heart Orchid will be greatly reduced, and can heal the wounded. However, the toxicity of the Rat Spot Flying Yang Grass will be even greater after boiling, and one who takes it will die immediately. Also, there is a plant that grows together called the 'Silver Fragment Leaf Smelly Flower'. Usually, the plant that grows slightly taller than it is the Rat Spot Flying Yang Grass, and the plant that grows slightly shorter is the Black Eared Shrivelled Heart Orchid. But you must note that the young stalks of the Rat Spot Flying Yang Grass will be much shorter than the Silver Fragment Leaf Smelly Flower. "This middle-aged doctor's words made Yue Yang sweat profusely. These three plants grew together?
If they picked one or two wrongly and let the poisoned soldiers take it, wouldn't the whole army be annihilated?
Even if they didn't care about the soldiers' life and death, it was not a good idea for the academy to let six or seven year old children go to the Demon Abyss to pick herbs …
If an accident happened during the journey to the Demon Abyss, and Little Princess Bei Bei or some other child couldn't return, then how would the academy explain it to Jun Wu You? Furthermore, there were still new students like him who had never heard of the Black Eared Shrivelled Heart Orchid and the Rat Spot Flying Yang Grass. The probability of picking the wrong herb would probably exceed 90% … If that was the case, the consequences of this trip to the Demon Abyss would be unimaginable.
However, the situation did not allow Yue Yang to think too much. The gigantic teleportation circle was instantly opened, and it could only be maintained for one minute.
If they were unable to complete the mission and return within two hours, then all the poisoned soldiers would die.
"Everyone will receive a teleportation scroll. If they meet a demon that they cannot defeat, everyone is allowed to use the teleportation scroll to return to the academy. Let's go! "The eagle-eyed guy did not say much. With a wave of his hand, he led the team out.
All the students of the Death Class would let their beasts smell the liquid in the two bottles.
Other than letting Hui Tai Lang smell it, Yue Yang also sniffed it worriedly. He discovered that it was odorless, and cursed this middle-aged doctor for being a quack and a liar in his heart.
There was basically no difference between the two liquids of the Black Eared Shrivelled Heart Orchid and the Rat Spot Flying Yang Grass, because they were both odorless liquids … The colour was also the same, they were both slightly black with a light purple hue. Asking him, who couldn't differentiate between 'Danshen' and 'Codonopsis', couldn't differentiate between 'Licorice' and 'Atractylodes Macrocephala', and even couldn't differentiate between 'Wolfberry' and 'Schisandra', to find out the difference between the Black Eared Shrivelled Heart Orchid and the Rat Spot Flying Yang Grass, which looked exactly the same on the surface?
This difficulty was even harder than ascending to the heavens!
The Demon Abyss was the same as before, with a blood-red sky.
However, the teleportation location was not the ancient dojo, but a gloomy and terrifying damp valley.
Countless Demon Insects were crawling about. Because they were afraid of the human students' numerous beasts, they didn't dare to attack for a moment. However, facing the fresh and delicious human flesh, they were unwilling to retreat.
"The medical center reckons that they can find the Black Eared Shrivelled Heart Orchid in the depths of this Insect Valley. Everyone who has a beast mount, please ride it. If you don't, just run and follow behind. Our time is very tight, students who have found the Black Eared Shrivelled Heart Orchid, as long as you collect more than ten stalks, return immediately. Every stalk of herb can save a soldier's life. Time is life, the faster the better! " The eagle-eyed guy took out a crystal and summoned a Bronze-ranked Level 5 Iron Armor Beast. Mounting it, he took the lead and galloped towards the depths of the Insect Valley.
"Gosh, there's not even a demonstration, how are we going to harvest it?" Yue Yang and the others hurriedly followed.
However, the more Yue Yang walked, the more puzzled he felt.
This was because he realized that along the way, other than unceasingly killing the Demon Insects, the eagle-eyed guy was also harvesting herbs at the same time. Moreover, everywhere he passed by, there was practically not a single blade of grass, not a single stalk of grass was left. All of the herbs were stuffed into his bag. If it was only a student's mission, why did this guy need so many herbs? Furthermore, he wasn't harvesting just one or two types, but all of them. This was really strange!
As Ye Kong walked, he lowered his voice and said to Yue Yang, "There's something wrong. I'm guessing that the number of people poisoned might not just be three hundred …"
Hearing his words, Yue Yang's heart trembled slightly, and he had a sudden realization.
If an army was ambushed and poisoned, then the number of people poisoned would definitely not just be three hundred. This was because the human allied forces were weaker than the Demon Race. If they were to march, then they would have to form a large army of thousands or tens of thousands of people, and they would only be safe when they moved out together. If there were only three hundred people? It wouldn't even be enough for the Demon Insects to eat! According to the eagle-eyed guy's words, the human army had won in the end even though they were ambushed. From this, it could be seen that the human allied forces had the advantage in terms of military strength … In that kind of situation, how could the number of people participating in the battle be only three hundred? How could the number of people poisoned be only three hundred?
"What you mean is, we are only a team that came to the Demon Abyss to harvest herbs? There are other teams that are also doing it at the same time, but they are not here? " When Yue Yang said this, he immediately thought of another frightening fact. If the poison was purposely planted by the Demon Race, then would the Demon Race's Commanders and Generals set up an ambush at the place where the Black Eared Shrivelled Heart Orchid grew?
If there were Demon Commanders and Demon Generals lying in ambush in this Insect Valley, wouldn't the eagle-eyed guy bringing everyone to charge in? Wouldn't that be courting death?
As Yue Yang thought this way, he immediately held the Hui Jin Magic Blade in his hands, his expression vigilant as he sized up his surroundings.
In terms of harvesting herbs, he couldn't help much.
However, at the very least, he had to protect everyone until they safely harvested the Black Eared Shrivelled Heart Orchid and returned!
Right now, Yue Yang finally realized the importance of basic knowledge. If he could differentiate between the Black Eared Shrivelled Heart Orchid and the Rat Spot Flying Yang Grass at a glance, then he wouldn't need to let so many people take the risk. He could complete the mission by himself!
Unfortunately, he was a guy from another world, so he had to learn everything from the beginning …
Yue Yang suddenly had a realization in his heart: Today's lesson, this trip to the Demon Abyss, would be the turning point of his entire life. When he returned, he must major in martial arts and minor in medicine. If he could strengthen his medical knowledge, then the mysterious knowledge in his mind would be able to display its power. In the future, he would definitely be able to refine pills that were even better than the 'Spirit Beast Awakening Knowledge Pill'. At that time, not only would it benefit him, even his beasts would improve!
As for knowledge on beasts, machinery and runes, it would also be one of his minor subjects.
If he knew all of the beasts' weaknesses, then when he met a strong enemy's beast, he would be invincible in every endeavor! If he grasped the knowledge on machinery, not only would he be able to create puppet beasts, he could also inherit the secret treasure that the Ghost Genius Yue Gong had left in the Puppet Palace. Runes, on the surface, looked useless, but it was the only key to open the God's Ruins …
"Brother, you don't know how to harvest herbs, right? You guys be our bodyguards, let's complete the mission together. However, you guys have to listen to our commands! " A few kids rode on their flying beasts and arrived beside Yue Yang and the others, stating their conditions to be their bodyguards.
"Could it be that you guys have discovered something big …" Yue Yang's brain worked faster than anyone else's. Once he heard them, he understood a little. It must be that these kids had discovered something good.
These kids were not simple, Yue Yang didn't dare to look down on them.
What good thing had they discovered?
