Chapter 419: Triumphant Return
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Audrey had a mature soul and her strength was many times stronger than Long Jiu’s. If she attacked with all her strength, Long Jiu would probably be poked into a sieve, right?
But these were not what Audrey should be worried about…
Audrey softly chanted a magic spell and her breath was extremely stable. When she raised her hand, the sky was instantly covered with ice crystals, as if a storm was about to break out.
And Audrey was the mage standing at the center of the magic, controlling all the life forms with demonic Qi for her use.
“Crackle!”
The rain of ice blades fell, and the entire place was filled with white mist, waiting to be cleared of the clouds and see the dawn.
However, when Audrey grabbed with her hand, she knew that she had failed at this moment.
She had let Long Jiu escape by mistake, and even Long Liu was rescued. She had really made a mistake. She should have restrained his legs before attacking.
Audrey frowned. This time, she had let go of a ruthless character from the Carol Association by mistake. She did not know whether it would affect Spark City later on.
But on second thought, since Long Jiu had left, this also meant that there would be no more competitors in the Crescent River valley. The members of the Carol Association could not get the cliff flower, so they naturally suffered a heavy loss.
“Good Fire Phoenix, I’ve let you suffer. I’m sorry, I won’t let you get hurt anymore.”
Audrey walked to the shelf that trapped the Fire Phoenix and immediately waved her hand to cut off the combat aura restriction on the Fire Phoenix’s body.
The Fire Phoenix was free, but because it had been severely injured by Long Jiu’s combat skill, it could not fly by itself and could only rely on Audrey’s shoulder.
Audrey carried the injured Fire Phoenix on her back and felt a little sorry for it because it could not even use its shrinking ability. Its body was really too weak.
“Hello, everyone. It’s so late, and you’re still waiting for me…”
Audrey saw the sunset on the mountain for several hours, about ten o’clock at night. After the big battle with Long Jiu, and she did not use magic to bring the Fire Phoenix back, the journey had been delayed for a long time.
“Audrey! Fortunately, you’re alright! Otherwise, Kate and I would have gone out to look for you! Look, our luggage is ready!”
Klein lifted the heavy bag in his hand and immediately looked at Audrey with some worry in his eyes.
Because Audrey had said before that she would come back before dark. However, she had promised so well that the other members were worried about her.
“I’m sorry! I’m really sorry! Because I didn’t know…that the Fire Phoenix was injured.”
Facing her team, Audrey finally thought about it and decided to hide the fact that she had met the members of the Carol Association. If Kate and Klein found out that she had not only met them but had also fought with them…it was likely that Audrey would not be able to continue hiding her strength.
Her hidden strength would be exposed in public! In order to avoid such a situation, Audrey handled the matter of the Fire Phoenix being injured very carefully.
“You…why are you injured on your face?”
The moment Morris spoke, everyone walked forward to take a closer look. It turned out that there was really a long and thin wound on Audrey’s face. Although it was not very obvious, traces of blood were still seeping out.
“Have you fought anyone before?”
Morris was the person who cared the most about Audrey, so he immediately discovered her embarrassment and concealment.
However, Audrey did not panic. Her gaze was very firm as she looked forward, making eye contact with Morris’ gaze.
“Yes. You’ve even seen through this. Morris, you’re really amazing!”
Audrey narrowed her eyes and smiled as if nothing had happened. She stepped across the grass and mud and placed the Fire Phoenix in a tent to the side. Then, she told Morris.
“It’s a good thing that you’ve woken up. Don’t take such risks again next time! Do you understand? How can a person absorb snake venom? Protecting yourself is the most important thing!”
There was a faint sense of reproach in Audrey’s words. Morris naturally understood this. After listening to Audrey’s words, he only wanted to say that it was caused by an unconscious impulse.
“Right, let’s move quickly. In any case, let’s strive to get the cliff flower as soon as possible so that we can rush to Spark City in time.”
Audrey was dancing and demonstrating to everyone under the dark night sky. She was full of passion as if she was about to get the cliff flower.
One had to know that there were still two other treasures that could resist the demonic Qi attack of the Carol Association after they obtained them.
It was unknown if the alchemists of the Carol Association had produced that special potion.
“But we’ve been traveling for so many days, and we still don’t have any leads. What should we do?”
Everyone had Kate’s anxiety. Audrey immediately heard the Fire Phoenix cry. It was the Fire Phoenix summoning her.
“That’s right. Didn’t I let the Fire Phoenix go and let it scout the area? Since it summoned me like this, it must have some clues.”
As the Fire Phoenix was injured, Audrey signaled for everyone to keep quiet before tiptoeing into the tent. Under everyone’s suspicious gazes, Audrey walked out again, bringing good news along the way.
“The cliff flower is not far ahead. Let’s work harder and try to complete the harvest in two days!”
After Audrey said that, she saw that everyone was in high spirits, so she prepared to go to sleep. She still had plans for tomorrow, so she did not know what was waiting for them tomorrow.
“Oh, Audrey, what’s in your backpack? Why do I hear the sound of glass bottles? You must know that the road is extremely dangerous.. It’s very likely that your bottles and jars will shatter.”
