Chapter 359 - Went Into the Valley

The disciple nodded and thought for a moment before saying with a smile, “You can pluck as much as you want, miss. Our Herb King Valley has the most medicinal herbs. The ones planted here are only the most common ones.”

“Thank you.” Audrey curled her lips slightly and sent the disciple away.

Klein and the others did not understand what Audrey meant. After the person left, they immediately came forward to ask.

“Audrey, are you really going to study herbs here?”

Klein asked with an incredulous look. He immediately made Audrey laugh and teased, “It’s not impossible.”

“Yeah, we’re here to collect some herbs anyway,” Hobart echoed from the side. He did not seem to think that Audrey’s actions were inappropriate.

Seeing this, Audrey smiled. She did not intend to completely hide it from her teammates. After all, she could not hide it anymore.

“Actually, I’m here to look for the Sky Demon herb. It’s said to be very rare. It only appears once every ten years.” Audrey’s tone was calm, but she was very serious.

Only then did they come to a realization. No wonder Audrey was so determined to come to Herb King Valley.

“Such a rare herb would definitely not be planted here.” Adrian looked at the herbs around him and said with a frown.

“That’s for sure. The Sky Demon herb must be in an extremely hidden location. Probably only the Valley Lord knows about it. That’s why I have to meet the Valley Lord,” Audrey nodded and said firmly.

“Alright, we’ll accompany you.” Klein immediately agreed. “We just don’t know when we’ll be able to get out of here. Being trapped here isn’t a solution either.”

Audrey was about to continue when she suddenly noticed a group of people walking over from the corner of her eye.

The people walking in front and behind were all disciples of the Herb King Valley. In the middle was a group of people dressed in black. Although they had concealed their auras, Audrey could keenly sense that their auras were very similar to those of the people in the Polar Glacier Village, they were very similar.

They were people from the Carol Association!

Audrey’s eyes immediately tensed up. She did not expect them to find this place so quickly, and they had even been brought here in the same manner.

The people of the Herb King Valley had been hiding here all year round. They definitely did not know about the Carol Association’s affairs or their conspiracy. They might even hand over the Sky Demon herb.

In order to avoid such a situation, she had to obtain the Sky Demon herb first. Only then would she have enough chips to compete with the people from the Carol Association.

“Audrey, what are you looking at?” Hobart’s voice interrupted Audrey’s thoughts.

She hurriedly turned her head, and a trace of anxiety flashed across her eyes. She said, “Do you see that group of people? Stay away from them.”

Upon hearing this, the three of them looked over, but they did not understand the meaning behind Audrey’s words.

Klein stared at them for a while, and he could not help but feel goosebumps all over his body. He shivered and retracted his gaze, seeming to understand Audrey’s words.

A few black-clothed men were brought to another residence, which was not too far away from Audrey and the others. Following that, the disciples of the Herb King Valley left.

With people from the Carol Association entering the outer valley, Audrey immediately became vigilant.

In the inner valley.

“Eldest senior brother, we’ve already brought them over,” a disciple said respectfully. The one who was addressed as his eldest senior brother was the man who had led Audrey away that day. His name was Moka.

“Alright, I understand. Pay more attention to these people. I have a feeling that they aren’t that simple.” Moka nodded, his eyes flashing with unease and complexity.

The disciple nodded and was about to leave when Moka spoke again. “How are the people who barged in last time?”

“They are still in the outer valley. They seem very obedient. It’s quiet in the outer valley too. Other than the girl who will be researching herbs, the others are fine.”

Moka listened thoughtfully. After thinking for a moment, he said meaningfully, “Bring them here later. Perhaps they’re just here to ask for the herbs. After giving them the herbs, let them leave.”

“Yes.”

At noon, the disciples of the Herb King Valley came to deliver the food again. Audrey still had a pleasant look as she chatted with that person. Sometimes, she would ask about the herbs.

After a while, the disciple who delivered the food became familiar with Audrey. Audrey also knew his name. Villa was a disciple of the Herb King Valley.

Not long after, another person walked out of the house. Villa saw this person and only nodded slightly to greet him before leaving.

“Pack up and follow me,” Drago said in a calm tone.

Audrey did not recognize this person, but when she heard that they were to leave this place, she was delighted. The few of them quickly packed up and followed Drago out of the outer valley.

On the way, Drago said as they left.

“The Herb King Valley doesn’t allow outsiders to stay for long. If you have any needs, just tell eldest senior brother and take them away.”

“Of course,” Audrey replied with a chuckle.

Soon, Drago brought them to a house where Moka was waiting.

After Audrey and the others entered, Moka invited them to sit down in a friendly manner. Then, he began to ask, “I see that you don’t have any ill intentions. May I ask where you’re from and why you’re here?”

“We’re from a small city in the north. This time, we’re here to seek a medicinal herb,” Audrey said straightforwardly so that they would trust them more.

Moka nodded. He did not find it strange.

Every year, many people came to the Herb King Valley to seek medicine. There were many medicinal herbs in the Herb King Valley, so they would directly give some of the ordinary ones as a way to benefit the people.

There were also some people who deliberately came to make things difficult for them. The Herb King Valley was not easy to bully, so they chased them away.
