Chu San saw that all the herbs in the field were healthy. However, when he also came to check on the fields a few days ago, there had been quite a few that were already dying.

As a wind magician, Chu San's biggest advantage and fortitude was an agile body. A faint green wind magic power surged around his body.

He looked like a humanoid bat slipping through the night. Chu San checked behind him several times, before stopping at the edge of the empty Scholarship Student's Herb Field.

He displayed utmost caution while looking around to make sure that no one was around, before swiftly stepping into the herb field.

Chu San wanted to take a closer look at the herbs. Under the moonlight, the herbs were still vibrant and bright green, with no damage from the insects whatsoever.

Could it be that the special insects that the vice-president bought hadn't worked at all?

Chu San pondered, and carefully touched the small cloth bag in his bosom.

The bag was bulging, and there was something moving inside it constantly.

"Little darlings, now the vice-president's goal depends on you." Compared to Song Xiangru, Cheng Lian's methods were much more ruthless and vicious.

Yun Sheng ignored her invitation and refused to join the Fighting Association, so Cheng Lian secretly hated her for it. She not only ordered Chu San to monitor Yun Sheng's every move but also ordered him to buy a darkness attribute insect, Ghost Aphid, from outside with a high price.

The Ghost Aphid was a very rare demon beast in the Great Zhou Empire, and could only be captured in the barbarian's territory in the north.

The unique characteristic of this demon beast was that once it had entered a plant, it would become invisible and ordinary magicians would not be able to detect it.

Even if some magicians with extremely sharp perception discovered it, without the unique magic to exterminate them, the Ghost Aphids could not be killed.

This type of pest was highly reproductive and hard to kill, so there was already a term, especially for these situations: "Insect Plague".

Earlier, Chu San had quietly placed more than ten Ghost Aphids into the herb field, thinking that would be enough to destroy the entire field. But who would have expected that when he looked tonight, the field appeared to be completely unaffected.

Chu San still didn't give up, he lowered his body, to blend better with the surroundings, inspecting the herbs at the edge.

In the Scholarship Students Herb Field, each part would be labeled with the name of the corresponding medicinal herb.

Chu San looked around for the part with the most valuable herbs and opened the bag in his hand as he carefully controlled the pests with his wind magic.

From the cloth bag, dozens of flying insects of varying sizes of one to two millimeters in length competed to be the first to come out.

Dozens of Ghost Aphids, blown by the wind, scattered throughout the herb field. Each descending on a different herb.

Once it finds an herb, the Ghost Aphid will embed itself into it and suck out the herb's essence within minutes.

In just a few days, the herbs of the Scholarship Students Herb Field would be nothing more than a field of worthless weeds.

Chu San grinned evilly, "I don't know how you escaped your demise last time. Unknown Potion Department student, this will be your downfall. You dare to offend our Fighting Association, you were courting for death from the start."

Suddenly, the smile on Chu San's lips froze.

Only a short distance away from him, a Ghost Aphid that had just entered an herb fell down and died after twitching a few times on the ground.

"What's going on?" Chu San felt suspicious and took a few steps forward.

Before he could move closer, there was a clattering sound beneath his feet.

He was startled and looked down and found a shining trap lying concealed in the herb field.

On the trap, the sharp barbs glittering with a cold light that looked like they could easily pierce his ankle.

Chu San was worthy of being a wind magician, his figure shifted, and the foot that was supposed to land on the soil floated lightly.

He was just about to move away from the potentially dangerous ground, when a cold, paralytic feeling, spread from the ground all the way to his calves.

It felt like a painful cramp, making his calves shake violently. He gave a yell, and with his legs unstable, he lost his balance and carelessly stepped into a trap.

There was a sound of bone-cracking, and the skinny wind magician screamed.

The trap was no ordinary trap; it was an enhanced trap that Yun Sheng had asked Uncle Tie to make after learning her lesson with the Golden Rhino Pig. This trap, not to mention human bones, could even break the Golden Rhino Pig's hard bones.

The moment Chu San screamed, his left leg had already been broken.

Almost at the same time, a fireball flew from the sky, and Chu San, who was experiencing agonizing pain, fainted without putting up any resistance. Even unable to scream a second time.

Before fainting, he was only able to hear a cry, " I caught the thief, the thief in the Scholarship Students Herb Field!"

This shout echoed wide in the empty herb field.

After a short while, a few instructors and students of the academy who heard the commotion rushed over.

"What's going on?" Several mentors saw the messy and trampled on herb field.

In the herb field, a Fighting Department student laid passed out. A trap clamping his left leg.

The sharp steel teeth of the trap had pierced the student's leg. It was practically a bloody mess, with the broken bones gruesomely exposed and worst of all, an entirely burned body. His head, and body were both black, obviously burned by fire.

Someone recognized the student as the Fighting Department's wind magician Chu San.

On the edge of the herb field, stood another student, from the Potion Department.

"Aren't you the new scholarship student of the Potion Department? What's all this about?" At the side, the mentors were rigorously discussing, and one of them asked with a harsh look.

The "frightened" Potion Department student Yun Sheng shivered. There even seemed to be traces of tears in her eyes, "I don't know, I don't know. A few days ago, there were traces of wild beasts on the herb field. Thinking that a wild beast entered, I set up a few traps in the herb field. Tonight, when I just finished fertilizing and was about to head back to the dormitory, I heard some movements in the herb field. I thought it was a beast, so I conjured a fireball. I didn't know..."

As soon as the several instructors heard this, they also felt that something was amiss, what was Chu San, a student of the Fighting Department, doing in the Scholarship Students Herb Field at this hour?

A few of them stepped into the herb field and moved Chu San out. But when they lifted him up, they found a blackened cloth bag below him.

Next to the bag, there were also a few dead Ghost Aphids.

They exchanged gazes and ordered for Chu San to be sent to the medical room. At the same time, they comforted the "terrified" scholarship student Yun Sheng, advising her not to spread the news of what had happened tonight.

Before hurrying towards the educational Affairs Office, to report what had happened tonight.
