After gathering more than 20 mysterious bone vines, Austin continued to trek through the forest towards the depth of the Wild Herb Valley.
He thought he must already be at the center.
Among the three sections of the valley, no superior herbs could be found in the borders although the ordinary spiritual herbs were flourishing so it was useless to stay there.
The first-grade superior herbs could only be found at the center of the valley while the second-grade superior herbs could be found in the inner part.
Sometimes, some third-grade and fourth-grade superior herbs could also be found there.
As expected, Austin successfully gathered some first-grade superior herbs along his way. Some of them even had the nature of earth element.
Half a day later, Austin set foot in a part of the valley where countless green trees grew.
His eyes lit up as he looked around. He also wanted to try his luck here. Maybe he could still find more herbs in this area.
Shoop! Shoop!
His search was disturbed by a rumbling sound that was coming from the sky.
Something seemed to have exploded in the air because of the formidable aura. It only meant one thing: a really great martial art master was outside the valley and was trying to break in.
The martial art master must be at the premium stage of Emperor Realm.
Austin was astounded by the possibility of his thoughts. It would be such a bad thing for him if what he thought was true.
He was certain that he could hardly escape from the attack of a warrior at the premium stage of Emperor Realm.
To confirm his assumption, Austin released his spiritual sense. Then he saw a beautiful girl standing outside the valley. Her dress was dancing with the wind. However, she seemed to be slightly out of breath and Austin saw some blood spots on her dress.
Obviously, the girl was unaware of Austin's existence in the valley.
This time, Austin took a deep breath and finally felt relaxed. He didn't see the beautiful girl as a threat. If ever she would be able to enter the valley, Austin was confident that she couldn't harm him.
However, he suddenly saw a sharp figure rushing towards the valley. It was several kilometers away but Austin was impressed by its speed.
Austin guessed that the sharp figure must be hunting for that girl.
Hunting and escaping were two of the most common things in the warriors' world.
To avoid getting involved into any possible fights later, Austin decided that it would be better if he hid himself from the two creatures.
Getting out of the valley without being noticed was impossible so he didn't have any other choice but to stay. He calmed himself down, held his breath, and moved quickly to the nearest jungle. There, he could somehow hide behind the big trunks and thick plants.
He tried his best to restrain the turbulent waves of vital energy that were trying to come out of his body. He needed to control them and let them stay inside him, or else, he would be in trouble.
He even stopped breathing to make sure that no noise would be created. He was as quiet as the trees and grasses around him.
He didn't want to attract any attention. He was planning to just watch the entire scene secretly.
In a heartbeat, the girl wearing a pink long dress rushed into the valley. Austin was able to get an opportunity to see her up close.
As what Austin could see, the girl seemed to be in her early twenties. She looked so beautiful and elegant.
The pink long dress highlighted her appearance and her spirit. She was like a holy pure goddess.
Her pure looks, elegance, and exquisite beauty could attract all the men in the world. Every man would definitely do anything to win her favor or even get her attention.
Austin's spiritual sense told him that the woman's strength was at the premium stage of Emperor Realm. The pressure of the vital energy emitted by her was very intimidating.
A few moments after the young woman entered the valley, a lecherous voice suddenly resounded.
"Ha ha ha! Stacy, please don't make things difficult for yourself."
Austin realized that the beautiful woman didn't enter the valley alone. That sharp figure he saw earlier might have entered with her.
"You know that you have been my utmost desire ever since. I have been dreaming a kiss from you for such a long time," the voice continued.
The beautiful woman looked here and there to find out where the voice was exactly coming from.
"But I have never been worthy in your eyes. You looked down on me and rejected me again and again despite all my efforts to win your heart." The man's voice was full of bitterness.
