Although they were children, they were very clever and refused to say it out loud. They only let Yue Yang and the others stay where they were.
What they meant was that they did not want to compete with their older brothers and sisters.
Originally, they were small and weak. Adding on the fact that there were Demon Insects everywhere, once they left their flying beasts and went down to the ground, it would be extremely easy for them to be in danger. Therefore, these smart little fellows decided to target Yue Yang and the other freshmen. They realized that Yue Yang, Ye Kong and Fatty Hai did not know how to differentiate herbs. Coming to the Demon Abyss, they were completely useless. Hence, under the lead of a girl around ten years old, they came over to discuss cooperation with Yue Yang.
If it was purely to fight demons and hunt for magic crystals, it would be weird if Yue Yang cared about them. However, when it came to picking herbs, how could he, who did not even know what the Black Eared Shrivelled Heart Orchid looked like?
"Found it, good job!" A female student first used her Snow Wolf Beast to disperse the Demon Insects, then happily took a herb from the crevice of the rocks and put it into her medicine pouch.
The one who helped her find the herb was another little jerboa.
It did not have any battle strength, but as it bounced around, it found three Black Eared Shrivelled Heart Orchids for its master.
At first, Yue Yang thought that the Black Eared Shrivelled Heart Orchids were over a meter tall and were all over the ground. They grew together with the Rat Spot Flying Yang Grass, making it hard for people to differentiate the real from the fake. Who didn't know that this was not the case at all. This kind of Black Eared Shrivelled Heart Orchid was only about two inches tall. Moreover, it was a strange plant that grew deep in the crevice of the rocks. Not to mention a large area, it was not easy to find one in a large pile of rocks.
"You guys can't just pick any grass you see. This is not a Black Eared Shrivelled Heart Orchid, nor is it a Rat Spot Flying Yang Grass. It's not even a Silver Fragmented Leaf Smelly Flower … This is not a herb at all!" Fatty Hai imitated them. As long as he saw a plant from the Demon Realm, he would dig it in his hands. He thought that if he picked it all up, he would at least be able to find a few Black Eared Shrivelled Heart Orchids. Anyway, he just needed to bring the herbs back and let the medicine hall's pharmacist have a headache! However, a girl with long hair saw the herb in his hands and couldn't help but cover her mouth to laugh, as if she saw a gorilla that did not know how to peel a banana.
"Not even a single one?" Fatty Hai was a little unconvinced.
"If they were everywhere, why would they send us to collect them? Besides, you didn't use the right method. Even if you managed to collect it, it would be a waste. You guys take your time to learn. Don't worry, I'll gather more. I won't let the poisoned soldiers go untreated just because you guys failed to gather the herbs! "The long-haired girl laughed like a bell.
Fatty Hai felt extremely awkward when he heard this. He hurriedly threw away the weed in his hands.
Yue Yang didn't get distracted by picking herbs. He knew that he still needed to learn how to differentiate herbs. The most important thing now was to prevent any accidents from happening.
Yue Yang felt that the work of Little Princess Bei Bei and the others was also a way to successfully gather medicinal ingredients. The Eagle-eyed man did not stipulate that they had to personally pick the fruits. Teamwork was also within the rules. Otherwise, why would he require a team of five people? He probably had the hidden intention of training teamwork.
"Newbie, noob, learn more!" A boy with an arrogant demeanor came over and plucked a stalk of medicinal herb from under Ye Kong's feet. Then, he walked away proudly.
The beast he used was a long-legged spider that could accurately detect the existence of medicinal herbs.
This fellow actually couldn't be considered awesome. He was only slightly stronger than Yue Yang and Ye Kong and the others. Currently, he had only managed to gather two stalks of Black Eared Shrivelled Heart Orchid.
There was a lone girl dressed in thief's clothes who was the most exaggerated. While everyone was still searching for rocks, she had already unfurled her scroll and teleported back with a ray of white light.
Obviously, she had already gathered ten stalks of Black Eared Shrivelled Heart Orchid.
"If you guys really can't recognise it, you can ask beasts to help. Beasts' sense of smell and vision are generally more acute than humans'!" The long-haired girl felt a little strange towards Yue Yang who was currently using his [Divine Vision] to scan the surroundings, vigilantly guarding against sneak attacks from demons. However, she was happy to have someone be her bodyguard for free. This way, she could gather medicinal herbs with more peace of mind. She saw that the foundations of Yue Yang's team of newbies were really too weak. She couldn't help but give pointers to Ye Kong who looked more honest. "Black Eared Shrivelled Heart Orchid normally wouldn't hide too deep. They also need to absorb the Demon Moon's energy, so there's no need to search for places that are very deep and flooded. The second point is to pay attention to Demon Insects. Generally speaking, Demon Insects don't like to stay in the crevices of the extremely poisonous Black Eared Shrivelled Heart Orchid, but it doesn't matter if it's the Rat Spot Flying Yang Grass. Places where Demon Insects usually appear can also be ignored. The third point is … "
Following the long-haired girl's pointers, Ye Kong spent a long time and finally managed to gather one stalk.
It grew in the shallow crevices of the rocks. There was no water, and there were no Demon Insects.
All the conditions were met. This stalk should be that Black Eared Shrivelled Heart Orchid. Ye Kong was secretly delighted.
However, just as the herb was in his hands, Little Princess Bei Bei who was circling on her Bronze-ranked Level 2 Swallow Falcon quickly swooped down. She shouted in a sweet voice, "Idiot, quickly throw it away."
The long-haired girl also reacted and cried out in shock, "Oh my god, that's the Fishy Juice Worm Luring Grass. The juice of this kind of grass will attract a large number of Demon Insects, quickly throw it away!"
Ye Kong could indeed smell a faint fishy smell in the air. It was indeed different from the odorless juice of the Black Eared Shrivelled Heart Orchid. Looking at his surroundings again, he didn't know when, but a large group of Demon Insects had appeared.
He was so scared that he hurriedly threw that stalk of herb away.
Seeing that he had thrown it too close and the Demon Insects were surging towards him, it was still not good. He hurriedly picked it up again and ran, attracting the tide-like Demon Insects to chase after him.
When he threw that stalk of Fishy Juice Worm Luring Grass far away and wanted to escape from the swarm of Demon Insects, he discovered that he had already been surrounded by the tide-like Demon Insects.
When the Li Brothers and Fatty Hai saw this, they hurriedly summoned their beasts to save Ye Kong.
After a long time, the four idiots who had been bitten by the Demon Insects until their bodies were covered with cuts and bruises, under the support of Hui Tai Lang, finally killed their way out of the encirclement of the swarm of Demon Insects and escaped back to Yue Yang's side. All of them were as tired as dead dogs.
Ye Kong was still alright, he was just badly frightened. Fatty Hai was so tired that he directly fell to the ground, unwilling to move even when the Demon Insects crawled on his body.
Yue Yang only sent out Hui Tai Lang and did not personally go to save them. These Demon Insects were very low-levelled, Ye Kong and the others could handle them. This was also a good chance to train them.
Little Princess Bei Bei revealed a very dizzy expression and lectured Ye Kong and the others like a little adult, "Brothers, if you don't know how to gather herbs, then don't randomly gather them. This is the Demon Abyss. My Empress Mother said, ah, my mother said, no matter what you do in the Demon Abyss, you can't be careless."
When they heard that they were even lectured by six or seven year old children, Ye Kong and the others looked at each other, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
The little girl who was the leader of the five children flew down and waved her hands, advising, "All of you don't move. We found a few hundred Black Eared Spheres growing together. I estimate that they will blossom in another hour. When we collect them, that would be the freshest and most useful Black Eared Shrivelled Heart Orchid. All of you don't be anxious, maintain your strength. When the time comes, just pay attention to protect us while we gather the herbs. Bei Bei, summon your beasts to heal them first. We'll go look again and see if there are any more Black Eared Spheres in the surroundings. "
"Where are the Black Eared Spheres?" The long-haired girl was surprised, "Princess Qi Ming, I didn't think that there would actually be someone among you who could recognize the Black Eared Spheres. I have already learned medicine for three years, but even now I can't guarantee that I can definitely distinguish between the Black Eared Spheres and the Rat Spot Spheres, because they really look too similar. Can all of you really recognize them? "
"We all recognize them." Little Princess Bei Bei nodded her head proudly.
Yue Yang was secretly speechless. Looks like these children were all from the royal family. If they weren't princesses, then they were princes.
As princesses and princes, they didn't go to the royal family's Shang Jing Academy to study, but instead came to the Ivy Academy to participate in the Death Class. No wonder the Soaring Dragon Continent's royal family could last for thousands of years without collapsing. Just by looking at this kind of education, one could tell how strict the royal family was in nurturing their descendants.
Under the long-term education of this kind of cruel environment, how could the princesses and princes who grew up not become the most outstanding rulers in the future?
It wasn't without reason that the Three Great Royal Families could be ranked above the Four Great Clans.
Little Princess Bei Bei and the other little boy who still had a runny nose, probably some prince, summoned special-type beasts to heal Ye Kong, Fatty Hai and the others.
Yue Yang realized that the two children didn't have a grimoire contracted, but they were already very familiar with summoning …
"The Blood Moon in the Demon Abyss has already reached its peak. Stronger Demon Insects have come out to hunt for food. Everyone who has gathered enough herbs, leave immediately." The black-armoured eagle-eyed man rode his Armored Beast and rushed over, shouting at the students sternly, "Our quest requirement is ten herbs. Those who are greedy will often fail and end up with nothing. They might even die a horrible death in the Demon Abyss. I definitely don't encourage that. Everyone who has fulfilled the quest requirement, leave immediately! "
Hearing the eagle-eyed man's warning, almost all the students opened their scrolls and teleported away.
There were only a few students who were hesitant.
They hadn't gathered enough herbs, but the stronger Demon Insects were already increasing. They couldn't guarantee their own safety, especially when their companions had left. If they continued to stay, they would fail. In the end, some of them gathered together and discussed for a while before teleporting back.
The remaining two men who were more confident in their combat abilities continued to gather.
The eagle-eyed man went over and berated them, scaring the two of them into leaving quickly. In the end, only Yue Yang and the others were left.
That long-haired girl looked at Yue Yang and Ye Kong, then looked at Little Princess Bei Bei and the others who were still riding their beasts and circling in the sky. She gritted her teeth, "I can stay and help you gather Black Eared Spheres. However, I don't specialize in combat, so you must ensure my safety! If you can keep your promise and not abandon your companions under any circumstances, then I will stay! "
"Ye Kong, you are in charge of protecting her!" Yue Yang waved at Little Princess Bei Bei in the sky, "All of you come down, there is an abnormal fluctuation in the air!"
"It might be the Black Winged Worms, quickly descend!" The girl in the lead, Princess Qi Ming, heard this and her expression changed. She took the lead to descend. At this moment, the black-armoured eagle-eyed man rode over fiercely and shouted, "What are you doing? Why aren't you going back? "
"We haven't completed the quest yet …" Fatty Hai was scared by him and almost cried.
"At most in another five minutes, a large number of Black Winged Worms and a sky full of blood-sucking mosquitoes will fill the entire Insect Valley. You definitely can't wait for the Black Eared Spheres to bloom. If you can't complete the quest, you will only fail once. However, if you die here, then you will fail forever! In life, there can be many failures, no one is a general who wins all the time. However, you must be alive in order to walk towards success! All of you go back immediately … Eh? " The eagle-eyed man saw the dark clouds churning in the sky and his expression immediately turned cold. He growled, "Those who have grimoires, immediately summon your grimoires. Everyone hide inside the protective shield, don't use teleportation scrolls for now. The fluctuation in the air here is very strange! All of you stay here, I will go and see what is the reason for the Demon Worms to be so agitated! "
The eagle-eyed man rode his Iron Armor Beast and galloped towards the other side of the Insect Valley. Yue Yang looked at his back and a bad feeling flashed across his heart. Although his [Divine Vision] could not see anything abnormal, something bad was definitely going to happen …
Could it be that the demon soldiers had discovered the herb-gathering team?
Or had some terrifying Demon Worms come?
At this moment, the sky was dark. The Black Winged Worms and blood-sucking mosquitoes appeared like dark clouds.
The little girl called Princess Qi Ming immediately summoned her grimoire. The five children tacitly hid inside the protective shield. They even kept their beasts, not panicking at all. Princess Qi Ming then summoned a normal Level Four Flaming Axe Puppet and calmly waved at the long-haired girl, signaling her to hide inside.
The long-haired girl hurriedly squeezed in and carried Little Princess Bei Bei.
When they saw Fatty Hai's clumsy appearance of not being able to summon his grimoire for a long time, they anxiously stomped their feet. Ye Kong and the Li Brothers were already used to this. If Fatty Hai could quickly summon his Bronze Grimoire, then his grimoire contract wouldn't be worse than a normal warrior's. It was precisely because Fatty Hai was a few beats slower than other people that he couldn't summon his grimoire even after being beaten to a pulp. That was why he was so pitiful!
"Look, I, your boss, am still the best!" Fatty Hai summoned his grimoire with great difficulty and summoned his Iron Rhinoceros. He proudly boasted.
"…" Ye Kong and the others were speechless.
"Brother Little San, quickly enter the protective shield!" Little Princess Bei Bei saw that Yue Yang was still outside and hurriedly called out.
"Everyone, don't worry about me. Don't move, something strange is coming!" Yue Yang stood in the midst of the Black Winged Worms and Blood Sucking Mosquitoes. He activated his Innate Qi and the Hui Jin Magic Blade's purple flames burned. All the Black Winged Worms and Blood Sucking Mosquitoes that flew near were burnt to ashes. Even more Black Winged Worms and Blood Sucking Mosquitoes came like a dark cloud, covering the sky. Ye Kong and the others could only vaguely see two balls of flames burning in front of them. One was the soaring purple flames of the Hui Jin Magic Blade in Yue Yang's hands, and the other was the Demon Qi's black flames on Hui Tai Lang's body.
Yue Yang used the Yin Yang Twin Fish [Spherical Beheader] that he had learnt during the Yue Clan's New Year's Tournament. The Hui Jin Magic Blade slowly rotated, the purple flames burning all the Demon Worms that came near it.
The space within a meter around him had turned into a demonic insect vacuum zone.
No Demon Worms could come near it!
The black flames on Hui Tai Lang's body became bigger and bigger. In the end, it roared towards the sky, and the black flames on its body exploded, gushing out with a rumbling sound.
The terrifying Demon Qi and Hell's Black Flames not only burned the surrounding Demon Worms to death, it also gave off a kind of supreme pressure similar to that of a Demon King, scaring the weak Demon Worms in front of it into chaos, causing them to escape from its surroundings.
Fatty Hai's Iron Rhinoceros was immediately scared to the ground … Not only his beast, even Fatty Hai, Ye Kong and the Li Brothers felt their hearts palpitating. When they looked at Hui Tai Lang, they felt as if they were looking at a Demon King. Yue Yang was also a little surprised. It was only now that Hui Tai Lang started to display the true power of the Demon King Ha Xin's evil Demon Qi. Although Hui Tai Lang had only absorbed Ha Xin's evil Demon Qi, it was still the Demon King's energy. It was not a small matter.
Could it be that in such a dangerous environment, Hui Tai Lang's potential could be stimulated, allowing it to level up or evolve?
Yue Yang was overjoyed. If that was really the case, then it would be an unexpected surprise.
As the black flames on Hui Tai Lang's body became more and more intense, its body continued to reconstruct and evolve within the black flames. The ground shook, and the whole valley shook, as if something was going to drill out from the ground.
"What the hell is this thing?" Yue Yang was shocked.
This demon that was about to drill out from the ground, wasn't the earth shaking a little too much? Could it be that it was a Godzilla from another world?
The black flames on Hui Tai Lang's body burned faster, and its body continued to be perfected. It was as if it was stimulated by the giant demon, and its evolution process sped up again.
