Chapter 15 :- Star Spirit Grass

Inside the tree trunk was long and narrow space that gradually steeped downwards to a cave.

The cave was covered with roots of the dead tree, making it a natural maze. There were foul odour everywhere.

"Why's there's such foul odour over here inside this cave? " thought yang Kai to himself, as he made his way deeper into the cave.

After walking for a while, he knew the reason for foul odour after seeing a bunch of dead soul beasts inside the cave.

"looks like these are all hunted by the fellow. "

Ignoring the wretched feeling, he kept moving forward and came across a fairly large and damp place,having a closer look he saw that bones were scattered throughout the place, forming a small heap, and there were five datura snake of 500 years of age. Though it was dark he could see the scene in the front.

"Looks like this bunch of little guys are the family of the Datura snake."

"Let's see and wait for a while if we can see the Poisonous Datura snake that the system detected."

After waiting for an hour, the snake didn't show up, so he decided to come out from his hide out.

But before he could come out he smelled the fragrance of some rare and exotic medicinal herbs. Though he may not know about the herbs of this universe, he has a sharp sense.

He was not concerned about not identifying as the system could identify it for him.

He started looking around for the source of the fragrance, after looking around he found a area covered with poisonous vines. if he had not searched carefully, he wouldn't have found it, mistaking it for just growing randomly in such environment.

He carefully walked towards that place , making minimum noise so as to not alert the Datura sakes. It will be quite annoying if all these snakes come pestering him.

Pushing the poisonous vine aside, Yang Kai found a entrance to a small cave. After entering he came to a small space, which was fairly lit up with moonlight and some crystal geodes. It was surprising that there were no poisonous mist in this area.

"Looks like a small medicine garden, except that it's formed naturally, oh! the datura snake actually guards this herbs , so it must be pretty precious.But why didn't it take it? " pondered Yang Kai.

"System what kind of spirit grass is this? " asked Yang Kai.

["Host this is a star spirit grass, this is a very precious herb found in the Immortal world, it's surprising to find this type of herbs here in this backwater universe. "] replied the system with astonishment.

" So is it pretty rare? Huh! " replied Yang Kai listening to the system.

[What! pretty rare? what a bullshit! this herb is very rare, if those immortals knew it appeared here they would have turned the whole douluo plane upside down. You are very lucky kiddo, finding out this star spirit grass. Haha the immortals would be vomiting blood if they knew you got such a treasure in remote place. "]

" What's the use of this star spirit grass? "

It can strengthen one's body foundation and grants the person eating it a rare body physique.

" If it is precious then why did the datura snake not taken it? " asked Yang Kai.

[ " Host did you not know there are usually defense mechanisms formed naturally by those precious heaven and earth herbs. The datura snake could not take the star spirit grass because of the naturally formed prohibition around the herb. " ]

"System can you break the ban? " asked Yang Kai curiously, thinking whether it could do some errands for him.

["No, this system is a special existence, not a physical entity. So It can't satisfy your needs"]

"Asshole, what's the use of keeping you if you can't provide your host any help!" replied Yang Kai angrily.

["This system can help host in every way possible, but the host does not have enough prestige points"]

"Prestige Points? " asked Yang Kai blankly.

["Yes host! this system can do everything, as long as the host has enough prestige points. Prestige points are not only used for buying things from the system space, it can also be used as a transaction to complete some difficult actions, which the host can't perform. "] replied the system

"How many prestige points do you need to break this ban? " asked Yang Kai

[" Hundred prestige points "]

" System you are swindling me, I only have five prestige points. Can you break this ban, since we are together like brothers I'll pay you back later on as a credit! "

["Can't, ]

[" System cannot help host without prestige points, though this system is omnipotent, but it can't break the rules. If host wants me to break the rules then both the juvenile host and system will be punished by heavens. "] listening to the rejection of the system Yang Kai became dejected and stopped chatting nonsense with the stupid system.

Yang walked towards the ban to analyse it's weakness.

After seeing the ban for some time he figured out a weak spot in the array and started using physical strength to break the prohibition.

["With the strength of host it is naturally impossible for you to break this ban, even if host find it's weak points."] replied the system.

"It's at least better than your unreliable broken system, taking pleasure in your host's misfortune" replied Yang Kai.

He again started banging the prohibition using brute strength, only to find no changes.

After a couple of tries, he gave up unwilling and started resting in a crack he found earlier in the walls.

" Hiss!..... Hiss! .... "

Yang Kai heard the sound of a spirit beast. He peeped from his hideout only to see a giant python shaped beast outside the prohibition.

"It must be Poisonous datura snake with age of over 4700 years, what's is it doing here? "

Under Yang Kai's watching eyes, he saw the datura snake crawling towards the weak point of the prohibition and sprayed some poisonous mist and some of its corrosive venom.

"So the giant python is actually trying to break the ban using it's corrosive poison. "

Eventually a week passed, Yang Kai kept hiding in the crack, monitoring the movement of the datura snake.

The snake comes to the prohibition every day and sprays some of its venom everyday, weakening the ban bit by bit.

Though he could easily fight a 1000 year beast, but fighting a beast of age 4700 years he was not sure. So he avoided direct confrontation with the datura snake, and waiting for him to break the ban , so he can take the advantage.
