The Genius Mage - Chapter 406

Chapter 406: Orchids in the Crevice

She could not let the smell of blood continue to spread. Audrey looked at the broken wolf bodies and called the Fire Phoenix back.

“Well done,” Audrey praised as she touched the top of its head.

Then, she walked into the crowd, raised her hands, and shouted to the sky, “Power of ice!”

Beams of snow-white light landed accurately on the wolves. After a few seconds, the struggling, howling, and howling wolves had turned into ice sculptures.

The smell of blood had also been frozen.

This was the method Audrey had thought of to cover up the smell of blood for a short period of time. This would also reduce the smell of blood on their bodies so that they would not be chased by other wild beasts.

“This is amazing.” Klein walked in front of a gray wolf and bared his teeth at him like a child.

After he was done, he was still angry. He stretched out his hand and poked at it, snorting coldly, “Weren’t you able to bark just now?”

Audrey saw his childish look and smiled silently. She looked up at the sun above her head and said, “Let’s go first. These freezes won’t last long.”

“Okay.”

Before they could rest for long, they were forced to start their journey again.

However, what they did not realize was that not long after they left, a group of fish and prawns were swimming in fear under the frozen river water, as if they had encountered a monster.

They had already reached one-third of the river valley, but they still had no clues. The four of them had only heard of the Crescent River Valley.

As for what it was like, they knew nothing about it.

It was impossible to continue blindly. As the night deepened, Audrey had them stop. The most important thing now was to find some information about the Crescent River Valley.

“Do you think the people we met today know something about the Crescent River Valley?” Klein asked.

Kate patted his head and looked at him helplessly. “They are our opponents now. Even if they knew, do you think they would tell you?”

Audrey pondered and looked around. They were all similar scenes. Were there really no clues that could be obtained?

As she was thinking, the mirror on her waist suddenly moved. Audrey’s face lit up and she hurriedly took it out.

How could she have forgotten about this?

Claude had given this mirror to Audrey before she left. It had the ability to communicate. As long as it vibrated, it meant that the other party was looking for her.

Audrey picked up the mirror and softly recited the spell that Claude had given her. The gray mirror seemed to have suddenly been polished, and Claude’s face slowly appeared in it.

“How’s Audrey? Are you guys okay?” Claude’s voice came through the mirror.

Audrey nodded. “We’re all fine.”

Without waiting for Claude to speak, she asked impatiently, “Claude, have you found any information about the Crescent River Valley?”

During the time Audrey and the others had set off, Claude had also been asking around Spark City for information about the Crescent River Valley. This place had always existed in the word of mouth.

Even if someone had really been there, most of them would not be able to return to Spark City.

However, even so, Claude still managed to find some relevant information.

“There are many orchids in Crescent River Valley. It’s a land of mountains and rivers. It’s very unusual. I think you can follow the traces of the orchids.”

Orchids? The few of them subconsciously looked around.

Although there were dense trees here, they had not seen a single flower along the way.

“Other than the orchids, are there any other clues?” Audrey continued to ask. Just the orchids alone were too insignificant to them.

“At the entrance of Crescent River Valley, there’s a very large stone statue. It’s said to be…”

Before Claude could finish his words, his image in the mirror began to blur, and his voice was also intermittent.

The communication was cut off.

“Why is it cut off?”

Audrey pursed her lips helplessly and put the mirror back to her waist. Although the mirror could communicate, it had a limit, and there was a limit to the number of times it could communicate.

Thinking of the long journey ahead, Audrey did not dare to use the mirror too much. If there was any real danger, it could save their lives.

“So, we’re going to find the orchid now, right?” Morris said.

Audrey nodded. According to Claude, they had to find the orchid in order to find the Crescent River Valley.

This night was destined to be a sleepless night. The first challenge out of Spark City was already so huge for them. They could not imagine how terrifying the rest of the long journey would be.

Early the next morning, the few of them set off again under the morning light. Compared to a few days ago, they finally had some thoughts.

Orchids grew in the crevices of the rocks. Presumably, there would not be any orchids in the River Valley, so Audrey and the others began to move toward the mountain.

Compared to the flat River Valley, the path on the mountain was much steeper.

“Audrey, why don’t we split up?” Morris suggested, panting. It was indeed a waste of time to search like this.

However, Audrey firmly rejected his suggestion.

Splitting up would only increase the danger.
