The Genius Mage-Chapter 403 - Meeting a Companion

Audrey had to be careful with every step she took. She did not want anyone else to get hurt.

That night was safe and sound.

Audrey sat outside the tent and watched the sun slowly rise in the distance. The sunlight shone on her face, bringing warmth and soothing her heart that had not slept the entire night.

“Audrey, come, eat something.” Kate walked to Audrey’s side and patted her on the shoulder.

Early in the morning, Kate caught a few pheasants from the forest and started a fire to roast them. The fragrance lingered in her nose, making Audrey feel a little hungry.

“Here.” Kate handed the fattest one to Audrey.

Perhaps it was because there were few people here and the forest resources were not destroyed, Audrey only felt that the chicken in her hand was exceptionally delicious. It was a little different from what she had eaten in Spark City.

“Kate, your culinary skills aren’t bad,” Klein said as he raised his thumb at Kate while eating the chicken.

Kate pursed his lips and smiled. He swept the chicken in her hand around and said, “The chicken here is much fatter than ours in Spark City.”

The few of them chatted casually. This was the most comfortable period of time they had had since leaving Spark City.

After eating and drinking their fill, the three of them packed their backpacks and continued on their journey.

This time, Morris suggested walking along the River Valley. The River Valley was flat and relatively safe.

“Audrey, do you think we can really defeat the demonic Qi after we find the three magic treasures?” Klein suddenly asked as they walked. He did not know much about the demonic Qi, but he knew that it was extremely dangerous.

The corners of Audrey’s mouth twitched. She looked up at the dense forest around them and said, “This is our only chance now.”

As long as there was a glimmer of hope, Audrey would do her best to seize it, as long as she could save Spark City.

The four of them walked slowly along the River Valley. As they walked, the four of them felt as if they had been dragged into a cloud of fog. The road ahead began to become vague.

“Everyone, stay close. Don’t get separated,” Audrey hurriedly instructed as the fog in front of them grew heavier.

This fog had come too suddenly. The situation ahead of them was unknown.

“Let’s grab each other’s bags and move forward together,” Morris said at the top of his voice. The fog grew heavier and heavier, and even their voices seemed to be blocked.

“Alright.”

Kate and Klein agreed in unison. The few of them quickly stood in a row and moved forward in unison.

The further they walked, the thicker the fog became. It was not just like a mass of fog, it was more like a thick layer of cotton wrapped around the few of them. Even their breathing began to become heavy.

Audrey frowned. Just as she was about to ask everyone to stop, a strong wind suddenly blew over. The bright sky suddenly turned gloomy, and the strong wind made it so that the few of them could not open their eyes.

The sound of the wind and the sound of the leaves colliding could be heard.

“Everyone, hold on tight. Don’t let go,” Morris’ weak voice came from the strong wind.

A minute later, the strong wind gradually stopped, and the sky gradually brightened up. The mass of fog also left with the strong wind, and the surroundings returned to their previous appearance.

“What’s going on?” Klein said as he pulled his collar that had been blown askew.

Audrey and Morris were also confused. The fog and wind had come suddenly and inexplicably, and it did not seem to have caused them any harm.

Looking at the few of them, Audrey said seriously, “Everyone, check if you’re injured or not. Are you feeling unwell?”

Her intuition told her that there was definitely something wrong with the wind and fog. It was usually strange for such a fog to suddenly appear, let alone in such an environment.

After confirming that no one was injured, they set off again.

Suddenly, Kate pointed at the River Valley in front of them and shouted, “Look, there’s a boat over there!”

A boat?

Looking in the direction Kate pointed, there was indeed a boat by the River Valley.

There were even intermittent sounds of people.

There were people here.

Kate and Klein ran forward excitedly. After walking for a few days, a crowd finally appeared. Both of them were very excited.

Audrey was a little puzzled. Why would there be people here? It was impossible for a group of people to settle down in such a dangerous place unless they had the same goal as them.

Although she was puzzled, Audrey still followed Kate’s footsteps and walked toward the group of people.

After walking past the simple boat, there were four or five men sitting around in a ball of flames under a cave not far away. They were chattering and no one knew what they were talking about.

Hearing the footsteps of Audrey and the others, they stood up vigilantly. When they saw their faces clearly, they relaxed their vigilance and smiled at them in a friendly manner.

“Are you also here to look for the flower of the cliff?” When Audrey and the others came closer, the leading man took the initiative to ask.

Audrey sized them up. Audrey did not sense any combat aura from them, which made her instantly alert. Who exactly were these people?

Perhaps sensing the hostility Audrey was emitting, the man in the lead explained with a smile, “I think you are from Spark City, right?”

“How do you know?” Kate asked in return.

A hint of helplessness flashed across the man’s face as he explained, “We are also from Spark City.”

“You are also from Spark City? Why are you here?” Kate asked in surprise.

As for the cliff flower, it was not well known in Spark City.
