The Genius Mage

Chapter 402: Gray Wolf

Kate, who had been on alert all this while, immediately reacted. Before Audrey could help, he had already thrown out a battle technique. “Wind cleaving slash!”

A swift and fierce wind counterattacked, sweeping the gray wolf, who was focused on attacking, to the ground.

Soon, the gray wolf stood up again. Its anger seemed to gradually make it lose its reason. It attacked whoever it saw. From Klein to Morris, and then to Audrey, every attack was swift and ruthless.

However, they had already made preparations. They did not let the gray wolf take advantage of them at all.

After a series of attacks, the gray wolf stared fiercely at the few of them. Its gaze was terrifying. Just when the few of them thought that it was going to attack again, the gray wolf suddenly turned around and left. Not far away, it let out a few wolf howls.

This series of actions puzzled the few of them, causing them to frown slightly.

However, Audrey quickly reacted. It was the gray wolf calling out to its companions. She frowned and carefully sensed the surroundings. As expected, there was an aura pouncing over.

“The wolf pack is here,” Audrey said in a low voice, reminding her teammates.

Morris immediately perked up and was on guard. He could not help but regret not finishing off the gray wolf in one go.

However, it was not too late now.

He thought for a moment, and a hint of viciousness flashed across his eyes. He took a big step forward and released a powerful battle spirit toward the gray wolf, sending it flying and landing heavily not far away.

Seeing this, the corners of Morris’ mouth curled up into a satisfied smile. He clapped his hands and was about to go up and finish off the gray wolf in one go. At this moment, dozens of wolves suddenly descended from the sky and landed near them. They seemed to have formed a pack.

Audrey’s expression changed, and her eyes flashed with sternness and uneasiness.

There were so many gray wolves. How long would she have to deal with them? When that time came, this place would definitely turn into a sea of blood. Perhaps it would bring other dangers.

“There are too many of them. What should we do?” Klein looked at Audrey uneasily, and his tone revealed a hint of unease.

“If we can beat them back, we’ll beat them back. If we can’t, we’ll have to deal with them,” Audrey answered calmly.

Wolves were animals that abhorred evil. Now that they had injured the gray wolf, these reinforcements would definitely not give up so easily. It seemed like she had to deal with them seriously.

In the blink of an eye, the surrounding gray wolves had already launched an attack. The scene was once chaotic.

Audrey stood calmly in the middle. Her expression was calm as she chanted softly, “Great Goddess of ice and snow, please bestow me with great power. Let everything around me be frozen.”

The clouds billowed, and the weather suddenly changed. Frost descended, and the world was frozen.

The gray wolf’s movements also slowed down a little.

Audrey harrumphed coldly, and the corners of her mouth curled into a frivolous smile. She picked up her longsword and leaped forward, each sword landing on the gray wolf’s body.

Borrowing the power of her attack, Audrey turned around and struck the gray wolf behind her. The figure quickly shuttled through the pack of wolves.

Not long after, many of the originally fierce and aggressive gray wolves fell into a disadvantageous position.

Audrey curled the corners of her lips in satisfaction, and a hint of certainty appeared in her eyes.

“Great Goddess of ice and snow, please bestow upon me the power of ice and fire!” As she chanted, Audrey held an ice ball in her left hand and a ball of fire in her right. The entire battlefield seemed to have turned into a dual heaven of ice and fire.

Countless ice balls and fireballs fell at the same time, but they accurately avoided Klein and the others.

The wolf pack continuously let out wailing sounds. Some of the more severely injured ones fell to the ground. In the blink of an eye, the ferocious wolf pack became the losers.

“Awoo!” With a long howl, the few remaining wolves suddenly gave up their attacks and fled in panic.

Seeing this, Klein and Kate wanted to chase after them. Audrey hurriedly said, “Don’t chase them. Let them go.”

“What if we let them go and take revenge later?” Morris said worriedly. After all, wolves were born to hold grudges. They had hurt so many wolves today.

“As long as they dare to come, we’ll have a way to deal with them,” Audrey said coldly. It could be considered giving the few wolves a chance. If they wanted to live, they would not come to take revenge.

Hearing this, the three of them had no choice but to give up on chasing after them.

Looking at the mess on the ground, Audrey sighed deeply. No matter how much they cleaned up the place, there would still be the smell of blood. Most of the animals would smell the blood, so they could not stay here any longer.

“Let’s go first. We can’t stay here anymore,” Audrey said calmly and walked in the other direction of the Crescent River Valley. They had to leave this place before the sky turned dark.

Morris and the others hurriedly followed. The Crescent River Valley was very long. The four of them walked all the way until evening, but they were still in the middle of the Crescent River Valley. At the very least, they could not smell the bloody smell anymore.

Audrey also felt relieved and said, “Let’s rest here tonight and think about how to find the cliff flower. It’ll be easier to find it tomorrow.”

“Okay!” Klein and Kate agreed in unison and set up their tents on the spot.

Just like the countless nights before, the four of them took turns keeping watch. However, when it was Audrey’s turn to sleep, she did not feel sleepy at all. Her mind was filled with the matter of the cliff flower.

They did not know much about the cliff flower, so it was naturally impossible to blindly search for it.

After thinking about it, Audrey could only place her hopes on the otherworldly realm, hoping to find some clues there.
