Chapter 477: To Neither Leave nor Forsake (3)

The youths’ physical and mental strength had been under immense pressure in this difficult battle. Now that the majority of the breaches in the capital institute had been sealed, the battle within the institute slowed. However, not one of those who could still fight left the battlefield. Everyone was now approaching death’s door.

All the medicinal herbs stored in the institute had been completely used to refine medicines. Large batches of medicine had been sent to the battlefield as the last straw to support them in continuing their fight.

This large depletion caused the situation in the institute’s storage room to become urgent. However, when the last medicinal herb had been refined into medicine, all the pharmacists looked at the empty storage room. A look of despair, that was previously unknown to them, surfaced on their faces. Their hands were already shaking from the intensity at which they had been refining medicines and now, their faces were completely bloodless.

“There must be some more… there must be some more…” A pharmacy student muttered to himself as he crawled through the storage room, searching in every corner. He could only pray that he might find some more medicinal herbs.

Even one more herb, could be used to refine a little more medicine, which in turn would allow his fellow students to last for another second on the battlefield.

But…

Not even herbal dregs were left in the empty storage room. Only the bitter scent of medicine lingered on the ground.

“Why isn’t there anymore..why…” The students’ eyes were bloodshot. They desperately wished they could dig up the ground.

“There are some in the backyard of the institute! I know where they are!” A student spoke through dry, cracked lips.

They planted a medicinal garden in the backyard of the capital institute. But the enemy had occupied that area… and countless demons were trampling over that patch of ground.

In that moment…

All the pharmacy students exchanged glances and made the most difficult decision.

These youths, who were completely helpless in the face of battle, took up weapons for the first time and sprinted towards the medicinal garden.

Bright red blood stains could be seen throughout the medicinal garden in the backyard. A large breach directly faced the backyard and although it had just been stopped up, the tutors and students who had been guarding it had become food for the demons. They had been torn apart and chewed up.

Nearly a hundred pharmacy students hid in the corner and watched the savage looking demons in the distance sprint towards the main battlefield. The pungent smell of blood, fear, and unease shrouded everyone’s hearts.

However, ten over demons patrolled the perimeters of the medicinal garden, preventing them from approaching.

A few students clenched their fists and suddenly ran in the opposite direction. It stunned the others students, thinking that they were frightened.

They never imagined that…

“You damned demons, come on over! We’re not afraid of you!” The few youths who had just run over actually climbed onto a high dais not too far away. The few of them stood on the dais and roared at the demons who were patrolling the perimeter of the medicinal garden.

Once the demons, who had just been hunting for food, saw the figures of those few youths, they showed their savage faces. They roared and chased the youths.

In a moment, the demons around the medicinal garden had all been drawn away.

The remaining students were stunned. These people had clearly used their lives to draw away the demons.

There was not a moment to lose…

The youths hidden in the corner immediately rushed out. On their hands and knees, they crawled through the medicinal garden, wildly digging out the medicinal herbs that were planted in the mud.

Behind them…

The demons’ roars reverberated in their ears. They could faintly hear the dying screams of their companions.

No one turned their heads. No one dared to stop digging. They could only seize the few moments they had to harvest the medicinal herbs that the others had exchanged their lives for.
