The Genius Mage - Chapter 379
“I told you, I won’t lose.” Klein snorted coldly. His sharp eyes swept past Xavier, who was tied up into a ball, and he felt delighted.
In the past, he had always been at Xavier’s disadvantage. This time, he finally had the strength to teach them a lesson.
After dealing with Xavier, Klein continued to look for an exit nearby. Strangely, no matter which direction he went, it seemed that he could not leave the area he was in. It was like a maze, and he was trapped inside.
However, Klein believed that there must be an exit here. Otherwise, how would Xavier have found him?
Audrey and the others circled around in the air again, but they still could not find Klein. However, Audrey smelled a familiar smell. It was the smell of a potion.
Not many people knew how to use this potion, and Klein happened to have been taught by her.
After thinking for a moment, Audrey was suddenly delighted. A hint of determination flashed in her eyes as she pointed in a direction. “Let’s go there and take a look.”
Faced with Audrey’s sudden certainty, the few of them had puzzled looks on their faces. However, out of their trust in Audrey, they did not ask any questions. They only nervously looked in the direction Audrey pointed in, hoping to find Klein.
The Phoenix flew over according to Audrey’s request. At this moment, Audrey could smell the familiar scent even more clearly. It was in the vicinity.
“Everyone, go down and look for it. It’s in the vicinity,” Audrey said as the Phoenix put the few of them down.
This forest seemed to be no different from the others. Audrey and the others split up to search the vicinity, calling out from time to time.
With her powerful perception, Audrey seemed to have already sensed Klein’s existence. However, for some reason, she did not see his figure. This made Audrey even more uneasy.
“Klein?” Audrey tried to call out. Her voice was extremely cold in the forest.
Klein, who was focused on finding the exit, suddenly seemed to hear Audrey’s voice. He immediately pricked up his ears and listened carefully. It was indeed Audrey’s voice.
“Audrey, I’m here!” Klein replied anxiously as he walked in the direction of the voice.
At the same time, Audrey and the others also heard Klein’s voice. They walked over, but when they followed the voice to the end, they saw a towering tree. The branches were extremely dense, blocking the path in front of them.
Audrey frowned as she looked at the intersecting branches in front of her. Her eyes flashed with suspicion.
The sound was already very close. Could it be behind the tree?
Audrey frowned and pondered for a moment. Then, she condensed an energy ball in her palm. “Get out of the way.”
She shouted and threw the energy ball at the tree branch. The intersecting branches instantly scattered, and behind the tree branch was another forest.
The few of them were shocked for a moment. From their point of view, there was nothing behind the tree branch. They did not expect to see such a scene.
Klein was standing not far away. When he saw Audrey and the others, he immediately welcomed them with joy.
“That’s great. All of you are fine,” he said with a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Audrey also sensed an aura that was different from theirs. She turned her head and saw Xavier, who was tied up.
Audrey immediately looked at Klein in surprise.
“You did this?” Cole teased from the side. “It wasn’t easy to tie him up like this.”
“Tying him up is already considered merciful. Who asked him to attack us so many times?” Klein snorted coldly and said indignantly. Then, he looked at Audrey. “I’ll leave him to you. I hope he can be of use to you.”
Hearing this, Audrey nodded and gave Klein a grateful look.
Following that, Audrey looked around her. Although they were in a forest, their aura was completely different from the one outside.
Audrey could not help but think of the wild beasts that attacked them at will. Could it be related to this forest?
“What are you thinking about?” At this moment, Morris’ words interrupted Audrey’s thoughts. She was stunned for a moment, and a complicated look flashed across her eyes. Just as she was about to speak slowly, Morris made another guess. “Thinking about the wild beasts?”
Audrey’s eyes lit up, and she nodded. She and Morris had the same thoughts. “I feel that we might be able to find the answer in this forest. Why don’t we take a look around here?”
“I have the same feeling,” Morris agreed with a chuckle and took the initiative to tell Klein and the others about this matter.
The safety of Spark City concerned everyone, especially since they were all members of the five great clans. It was incumbent on them to protect Spark City, so they immediately agreed.
Audrey smiled happily. She looked around and walked along a path.
The forest was exceptionally quiet. There was not even the sound of birds chirping. It could not help but make people feel a chill in their hearts. They walked for a long time, but they did not see any strange phenomena.
“Why does it feel like this forest is so big? It’s the same no matter where we walk,” Morris said in a low voice. It sounded like a sarcastic remark, but Audrey was deep in thought.
The surrounding trees did not seem to have changed much. It was so dazzling that she could not find her way out.
Could this place be a maze too? With his experience on an isolated island, Kate easily thought of what happened in the Misty Forest.
In the forest, the maze was the most common one. If one did not know about it, they would probably be trapped in there for months without being able to get out.
“Let’s take another look.” Audrey frowned, her eyes flashing with unease as she marked a tree beside her.
