Chapter 414: Poisoned
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“What happened just now?”
As they were attacked by a venomous snake in the middle of the night, Klein, Kate, and the strange man were all in a deep sleep.
They were woken up by Audrey’s sudden cries of alarm.
When everyone pulled open the curtains, they realized that Audrey was actually fine.
She was sitting on the ground, but she was hugging Morris’ head in her arms.
‘Morris was poisoned…It was all to save me…’
Audrey did not expect that the journey to pick the cliff flower would be so dangerous.
There were even people who died unexpectedly.
As a result, Audrey’s eyes reddened when she saw Morris suck out the poison from the wound in her leg and faint immediately after.
“Don’t worry, Audrey. The heavens have their way with Morris. He will definitely be safe and sound.”
According to the common sense of this world, if one was bitten by a cobra and poisoned, as long as they were cleaned up in time and blocked their meridians with combat aura, there would not be any major problems.
For example, Audrey had used her own magic power to freeze the cells in her body and put the cells into a temporary hibernation to block the snake’s venom in time.
Morris had a bit of a cut in his mouth when he was eating roasted meat two days ago, so he was too busy thinking about Audrey to care about himself during the emergency treatment.
“Morris is such an idiot.”
Audrey had performed emergency treatment on his body, but for some reason, Morris still had not woken up. It was possible that the injured part was in his brain.
Audrey had no other choice. She did not dare to act rashly and could only wait quietly for Morris to wake up.
“Let’s take turns keeping vigil. Don’t make it too tiring!”
Klein was the first to volunteer and let Audrey go to the tent to rest. As he was a guy, Kate also wanted to keep vigil with Klein because he could not sleep after waking up in the middle of the night.
Audrey was extremely touched. It was indeed better to act together. Even if there were difficulties, as long as her companions were by her side, there was no obstacle that she could not overcome.
Audrey slept in the tent and tossed and turned for a long time without falling asleep. She simply leaned against the pillow and sat up.
She summoned her Fire Phoenix. The Fire Phoenix automatically shrunk its body and flapped its wings into Audrey’s palm. It chirped happily, and Audrey thought it was dancing.
“Shh! Keep your voice down. Klein and the others think I’m asleep. Don’t give yourself away.”
The Fire Phoenix obediently nodded, and Audrey reached out to stroke it. The Fire Phoenix narrowed its eyes in enjoyment.
“Morris is also injured. We can’t continue exploring according to the current pattern. Perhaps, we can make things simpler.”
The Fire Phoenix nodded as if it understood Audrey’s words. It was extremely cute and well-behaved.
The place where the cliff flower was located was shrouded in a thick fog. The Fire Phoenix was born a noble among birds, and it had the fire attribute. Therefore, Audrey wanted to use the Fire Phoenix’s golden eyes to penetrate the illusion under the barrier set up by the cliff flower.
Everything had a spirit, and the cliff flower was no exception.
It was likely that the flower king had set up these layers of barriers to punish the humans who tried to steal anything.
Audrey had also seen some clues from the boy’s death. She could not continue being ignorant like this. She had to take the initiative, or her cute teammates would die one after another.
“So, you have to be good and help us find the way, okay?”
Audrey actually felt sorry for the Fire Phoenix. She immediately reached out and hugged its soft and warm body.
Audrey was still worried that the Fire Phoenix would encounter unknown dangers.
Although flowers and birds lived in harmony, there were other humans in this place.
Humans were the evilest existence in comparison to animals. The Fire Phoenix had grown up under her care, so it was especially close to others.
Audrey’s furrowed brows were rubbed open by the Fire Phoenix’s head. Its head and tail were burning with raging flames. It was even fiercer than before, and its energy was overflowing.
Audrey understood that the Fire Phoenix was showing off its strength. It could even fight against a level 30 or so Dou Qi expert.
The fire seed that it had since ancient times was not weak. Once it burned, even water would not be able to extinguish it.
“Haha, since you’re my partner, you’re destined to be a powerful existence. Be careful. I believe in you. You’ll definitely escape unscathed. Bring me the information you’ve discovered.”
Audrey hugged the Fire Phoenix’s body and fell asleep peacefully. It looked like tomorrow would be an interesting day.
As for the Fire Phoenix, after it smelled Audrey’s sound of deep sleep, its body slowly shrank. Finally, it quietly left Audrey’s arms.
Audrey lowered her arms and hung them on the quilt. As if she had sensed it, she wiped her mouth and turned her body.
“Audrey! Come, eat the fruit!”
When Audrey woke up in the morning, she rubbed her eyes. The sunlight was very good and abundant, illuminating the thorny road.
“Is Morris awake?”
The moment Audrey woke up, she ran straight to Morris’ side and reached out to touch his forehead. She only felt a chill and pulled her hand back.
Compared to Morris’ burning forehead yesterday, his temperature had dropped quite a bit today. After some inquiry, it turned out that it was last night after Audrey had fallen asleep.
Morris had woken up, but it was as if he was sleepwalking. His mouth was mumbling some kind of spell, and it was a mess. It made Klein and Kate both afraid and confused.
“A spell? Singing? Perhaps the poison has taken control of his mind…”
Audrey frowned and clenched her fists. If Morris did not wake up within three days, then as the strongest Saint Magister in her reincarnation, she would not have to continue living in this combat aura world.
Audrey could not tolerate it. She watched her close companion’s life slowly seep away. His smile was so bright, and she did not want to lose him forever.
“I’ll order the Fire Phoenix to scout for a while. We’ll take action after we bring back new information. Otherwise, it’ll be too dangerous.”
Klein nodded repeatedly. He was not very strong, but seeing that this path was becoming more and more difficult, he had the same feelings and thoughts.
Kate also agreed with Audrey’s decision to take a short break. He was mainly in charge of moving the tools. His body was strong and his strength was limitless.
As the team had brought enough things with them, and they could not give up on Morris, there was no second hand that could bear such a burden.
Everyone immediately agreed with Audrey’s idea of staying where she was. However, after treating her partner in such a way, Audrey began to act on her own.
“You said that you’re going to fetch herbs to treat Morris? No way! Absolutely not! One of us is already injured. You’re a girl.. You can’t have any more accidents.”
