Chapter 338: Finding the Blazing Beast

Oh no!

Audrey’s expression changed instantly. The giant snake’s strength was extraordinary. She did not know if Klein and the others would be able to handle it.

Audrey was worried. With a flash, she left the otherworldly realm.

Beside the glacier lake, a few of her teammates were lying on the ground in a sorry state. Audrey hurriedly went up to take a look and heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, they had only been poisoned and injured. Their lives had not been harmed.

However, where did the giant snake go this time?

Audrey could only wait for her teammates to wake up before she could ask them all.

Since the poison in her body had been dissolved by the hot spring water, Audrey returned to the otherworldly realm once again. She took some hot spring water and fed it to the few of them. At the same time, she also treated the wounds on their bodies.

Following that, Audrey inquired about the situation around her while waiting for her teammates to wake up.

The first to wake up was Adrian. He seemed to have not recovered from the situation before him until Audrey shouted, “Adrian, are you alright?”

“Yes… I’m alright.” Adrian frowned slightly, he said, “Were you the one who saved us? But I remember that you seemed to be injured as well, and you fell into the lake. We were dealing with the giant snake while looking for you. In the end, we couldn’t find you, and instead, we fell to the ground.”

“I’m fine. It’s probably just that I suddenly ran out of energy.” Audrey’s eyes dodged slightly as she casually found an excuse to explain. Then, she asked, “What happened to you guys after that? What happened to the giant snake?”

“After that, we fought with the giant snake. Both sides were in a sorry state. The giant snake was injured and fled. We also fell,” Adrian said slowly as he sighed, “fortunately, the giant snake didn’t return to attack when we fell.”

Indeed! Audrey thought the same. Otherwise, she might not be able to see her teammates if they had succumbed to injuries.

One after another, the other teammates woke up. What they said was basically the same as what Adrian said. Audrey did not ask any more questions, as long as everyone was safe.

“I didn’t expect that we would encounter so much danger after only coming here for half a day.” At this moment, their emotions were slightly complicated, especially worried about the situation behind them.

“The polar glaciers are already fraught with danger, but I believe that we will definitely be able to return safely,” Cole replied Kate in a rarely serious tone.

“Yes, the most important thing now is to find the Blazing Flame Beast,” Audrey said calmly as she looked at her teammates with a complicated expression.

Everyone nodded in agreement and set off on their journey to find the Blazing Flame Beast.

According to Audrey’s deduction, the Blazing Flame Beast should be near the glacial lake, a suitable place to hide from the strong winds. Therefore, the few of them followed the glacial lake in search of it.

After walking around the glacial lake for more than half of the journey, they saw a vast expanse of glacial lake. Audrey’s thoughts grew heavier.

“What’s that in front of us?” At this moment, a bright voice broke the quiet atmosphere in the team.

“It looks like a cave,” Klein replied.

A cave?

Audrey’s eyes lit up as she looked in the direction her teammates had pointed out. Indeed, she saw a cave made of glaciers not far away.

The few of them could not wait to go over and take a look, but they were stopped by Audrey.

“It’s too dangerous to go over directly. Why don’t we first observe if the Blazing Flame Beast is inside?” She said calmly as she began to search for the aura nearby. Indeed, she sensed an aura that was different from theirs. It was the Blazing Flame Beast.

A moment later, Audrey opened her eyes and said with certainty, “It’s inside.”

“Then, let’s quickly go in and snatch the ice bead back. We’ll return it to the villagers nearby.” Cole smiled happily and could not wait to go in.

The others were filled with fighting spirit. Retrieving the ice bead was their mission this time. Now that they had found the Blazing Flame Beast, they had already completed half of their mission.

Audrey was the only one who did not show any joy. Instead, there was a layer of deep meaning and worry in her deep blue eyes.

“The Blazing Flame Beast was originally a beast that protected the frost bead. It lives nearby with the villagers. There must be a reason why it suddenly stole the frost bead and escaped here. We don’t know the reason behind it.”

“What other reason could it be? It must be that the Blazing Flame Beast is greedy,” Klein snorted coldly and said unhappily.

The frost bead could absorb the nearby cold, while the Blazing Flame Beast needed the frost bead’s cold air to suppress the blazing flame in its body. Therefore, the frost bead and the Blazing Flame Beast were inseparable.

“Then, he could still leave the frost bead in the village and stay there. There’s no need for him to steal it and escape,” Audrey refuted Klein with just one sentence.

“The Blazing Flame Beast is hot-tempered by nature, but it’s straightforward. We can’t snatch it from him directly. We have to understand the reason for the matter first before we make any plans,” Audrey said thoughtfully after pondering for a moment.

None of them had expected that the matter would be so complicated. However, since it was Audrey’s consideration, they did not ask any further.

If it was just a simple matter of retrieving the frost bead, Audrey could have used forceful methods. However, she had another task that Lance had given her, which was to investigate the situation in the village. That was why she needed to do so.

The Blazing Flame Beast lived in the village all year round. It must have some understanding of the situation there.

After discussing the countermeasures, the few of them carefully moved towards the entrance of the cave. When they reached the entrance, they could hear the sound of movement coming from inside.

The Blazing Flame Beast let out a muffled sound as it came out of the cave. It looked at the few of them coldly and said, “Foolish humans, what are you doing here?”

“Naturally, I’m looking for you to take the frost bead,” said Klein quickly.

Hearing this, the Blazing Flame Beast laughed disdainfully and said, “With just you guys? Don’t even think about it.”
