Chapter 429 - Flint

Ignoring the ticklish feeling he was feeling by his neck and ears, he turned towards the rest of the group. "Now that things have been sorted out, let's get out of here and go meet the young lady."

After searching the cave for a while but found nothing instead, the group turned to leave while the injured two other disciples seem to have recuperated from their injuries as they were with the young lady together with the guard that had woken up from their unconsciousness.

"Thankfully, we didn't fail the lady. This is the fruit you wanted yes?" David went forwards and gave the young lady the fruit he had plucked from the small tree.

The young lady's eyes lit up and immediately stretched out her hands to hold it.

This was a grade three fruit whose value couldn't be truly determined. With just this single grade three fruit, all of the troubles and the amount of gold has e family would release as compensation to the dead guard's relatives wouldn't matter anymore as the value of the fruit was enough for her Quin family to remain idle for a few years and they would still own enough gold to eat.

That's just how valuable the fruit was to her Quin family. Lady Quin was about to grab the fruit when out of no where, there was an animal growl and then, a shadow flashed from David's body, jumping towards the young lady in a flash.

However, before the shadow could land an attack, a wide hand snatched it out of mid-air. It turns out the shadow was the baby Dragon panther.

"W-what!?" Shocked, the young lady staggered backwards but was quick to regain her demeanour seeing as David was holdi![Image](http://) ng on to the beast.

"What is that?"

"This is my pet I recently found. I'm sorry about unruly behaviour." David apologised while holding the still snarling and struggling panther at his chest.i

"Isn't that a young dragon panther?" One of the other disciples asked with a slight frown on his face while the guards and the young lady glanced at David in confusion.

Although the dragon panther appeared young, from its sharp claws and teeth, David's hands should have been ripped off by now.

As David was about to ask, the dragon panther managed to escape from David's chest and climbed on his shoulder. In a flash, it bit at his neck ferociously.

The spectator's faces changed drastically and wanted to do something but the baby dragon panther was just to fast as it seem to almost flow with the wind itself.

Just when they were feeling pity for David, they heard the sounds of two metals grinding against each other.

"W-what!?" Their eyes opened wide as they witnessed something almost unbelievable.

Grinding sounds like two metals scraping against each other sounded and there even seem to be white sparks flying off as the little beast tried to rip David's neck off to no avail.

Seeing the flints of friction residue flying off in the air, David's eyes flash and an ideal name for the little beast popped up in his mind. 'Flint... Not bad.'

"Do not mind it, that's its way of playing." Ignoring the beast hanging in the air with it's fangs by his neck, David passed the fragrant fruit to the young lady.

The others looked glanced at each other and then at the little beast still struggling to bite through David's neck. The beast is obviously trying to rip your neck apart, and you are saying it's playing? What sort of freak are you anyway?

Although they thought of this, they dared not to voice it out. To them, David was even more dangerous than the beast they had met early.

The idea of a mental practitioner physique been this strong was almost unbelievable since practicing mental arts only improved one's mental strength and not the body.

For one's body to be incredibly strong as David's, one had to be born with the talent which is rare or extremely lucky to have eaten a grade 6 herb and survived the power overload.

But David's physique seems so ridiculous, it seem as though what he had eaten was a grade nine herb instead.

Taking a deep breath, the young lady looked deeply at David. She knew he was an incredibly special person or might possibly be an old monster who had suppressed his true energy levels, doing all of this for fun. Either ways, there as nothing bad in currying favours from such a person.

She gritted her teeth and then brought out the fruit and presented it to David. "Brother David, although this fruit seem to be very expensive, the Quin family doesn't really have any use for it. But seeing as brother David is still at the mortal stage, this fruit will be Incredibly useful for you since it could directly promote you to the the Earth stage."

"My lady!" The guards shouted anxiously but the young lady shut them up with a single glance.

David was surprised and then confused. He couldn't understand why the young lady was doing this. But then, he sighed as he finally realised why she was doing this.

She was definitely an incredibly smart woman as her plan was flawless. If David took the fruit, he would owe them greatly and if the Quin's family needed help, he would need to be available for them.

However, even if he rejected the fruit, he still would be grateful and if he was available, he could assist the Quin family although just once, it was still something having the favour of an expert.

David smiled and then shook his head. "There's no need for all that miss Quin. I don't need it, you can just keep it." retrieving the still hanging dragon panther from his neck and holding it to his chest

The guards and the young lady breathed out an obvious sigh of relief when they heard him reject the fruit while the disciples shook their head at David's stupidity. But Zhu Shimei's eyes flashed and the gaze in which she gazed at David changed slightly.

David could see the struggle in the young lady's eyes when she presented the fruit to him. He wasn't one to take something that rightfully belonged to someone. If he wanted something, he would take it fair and square.

The night forest was totally pitch black. Perhaps it could be the fact that the forest was entirely covered with tall trees or maybe there might be something suckling the light out of the forest. But either way, one could barely see one's hand in the dark forest.

"Second brother, there seem to be a group of herb pickers passing through here." A lanky sinister looking man whispered as he gazed ahead at the forest, right on top of a large tree.

"I can smell the scent of two virgin ladies in the group, this should be fun." A lustful expression covered the face of another man who was standing at the tree next to the one that had spoken previously.

The second brother was a huge man, wearing ragged robes, trying to look decent but his evil eyes wouldn't be able to fool anyone. He calmly spoke. "Hehe, I can sense their weak mental waves, only two of the five are of the perfect mortal stage and the remaining three are of the late mortal stage."

Waves of powerful mental energy emanated from him and from the waves, one would determine that the man is an Early Earth stage practitioner. While the others emanated strength similar to that of a late mortal stage practitioner.

In this dark forest Long Chen's illuminating stones were very useful in this situation, illuminating more than ten meter radius ahead of them.

"We are almost out of the forest." The young lady said with delight as she saw the some signs she had put places as they were entering through the forest. There was obvious fatigue in her tone and her face.

Everyone was very tired. Well, mostly everyone apart from David, making the others gaze at gun as though he was some sort of freak.

The little beast was also asleep on his neck. It was obviously tired from all the biting and scratching it had been doing all day long.

All of a sudden, David frowned and he gazed ahead through the forest. His eyes seem to cross through the distance and he focused his gaze at one particular point.

"Brother, do you think that brat has seen us?" The lanky man whispered with a serious expression as he gazed at David from a distance.

"Hmph, so what if he notices us, since they are weak anyways, they are bound to obey us. Let's go."

David sudden Halt attracted the attention of the rest of the people.

"Is something the matter, why did you stop?" The young lady asked.

"Don't ask to much questions. Everybody get ready to battle. I will take the earth ranked practitioner, you guys deal with the rest.." David said with a solemn voice.
