Chapter 131: On the Eve of a Bitter Battle
One had to know that practicing magic in a world like theirs was an extremely dangerous thing. Moreover, magic was considered an unorthodox method of cultivation in an era where battle aura was rampant. Therefore, even the school would not advocate for everyone to practice magic.
However, Audrey did not take the usual path. Not only did she choose magic, she even became very powerful, shocking everyone.
“Audrey…” Julius looked hesitant. “Long time no see.”
Audrey smiled at him.
In fact, when she had been watching from afar, Audrey had already recognized that this tenacious youth was a member of the Davis family.
Although her impression of him was rather vague, she could still vaguely remember that the two had met before, so they naturally had a sense of closeness.
“How’s your situation? Do you need me to help you deal with it?” Audrey asked.
Julius sighed, “The situation isn’t too good. Their attack just now caused too much damage to us. We really need medicine now, but we didn’t consider this situation when we came here, so…”
When Julius said this, his face was filled with embarra.s.sment, and his hands placed on the hem of his clothes tightened slightly.
Audrey could see his embarra.s.sment. She immediately took out some medicine from her bag and bandaged the people beside her.
Their situation was clearly better than expected. Perhaps it was because they did not have any tokens on them, so their attacks were lighter.
The braided braids from yesterday had already fainted. It looked like the wounds on their bodies were very deep.
As Audrey bandaged the people, her expression turned ugly. She had never liked people who enjoyed killing. It seemed like she really needed to think of a way to deal with that group of people.
“Audrey, the current situation has clearly exceeded our expectations.” Morris had a solemn expression, “My suggestion is that we hurry back to look for Kate and the others. According to that group of people, they will definitely look for those who are alone first. When that happens, Kate and the others will be in danger!”
Audrey was shocked. If they were to follow the direction they were facing just now, would not that be the west to which Kate and the others were heading!
Heavens, it seemed like the severity of the situation had completely exceeded her imagination.
Audrey did not have time to stay here any longer. So instead, she left a portion of the medicine on her body to them while she and Morris hurried to the west to meet up with Kate.
However, on the way, the situation was clearly not as smooth as they had imagined.
They had just walked not far when they encountered a huge Demon Beast.
That Demon Beast was two times taller than the one they had encountered yesterday. When it stood up, it was even taller than a tree branch. That b.l.o.o.d.y mouth of the company seemed to be able to swallow more than ten people.
“Audrey! Back off!” Morris subconsciously s.h.i.+elded Audrey behind him and extended his hand to block the violent wind in front of him.
The body of this Demon Beast still carried a strong smell of blood. It was obvious that it had just been through a battle and had suffered serious injuries. While it was recuperating, it smelled a strange smell, so it naturally became a lot more manic.
Audrey looked at the Demon Beast that was as tall as a small mountain in front of her and said expressionlessly, “Morris, if possible, try not to fight with him. Let’s think of a way to bypa.s.s him directly.”
Morris nodded and looked at his surroundings.
They were currently in a forest, and the trees in front of them had all been blown away by the wild Demon Beast. It had turned into a s.p.a.ce. If they wanted to go over, they would obviously have to choose to go by the side.
But the problem was…
Morris looked at the cliff by his side. Even if he had a problem with his brain, he would not choose to jump down from such a high place.
Does it seem like I can only return the way I came? Morris thought to himself. He had already planned to delay the journey for a long time. However, before he could take action, he heard an angry roar from the side.
“It’s already injured! Everyone, quickly attack! The scales on its body are very valuable.”
Following that, there was a heavy sound of a blow. Audrey looked at everything in front of her with her mouth agape. She did not know when, but a five-man team had appeared around her. They were all boys, and they had long-range weapons in their hands, they were attacking the injured monster beast.
The monster beast clearly could not withstand such a fierce attack. So instead, its huge body swept across the surroundings, directly cutting the surrounding trees in half.
However, it was still unable to withstand the bow and arrows that were wrapped in Qi. Finally, the fatal weakness on its body was ruthlessly pierced through by a bow and arrow. After letting out a final wail before its death, its huge body fell to the ground with a loud bang.
Just the moment they fell to the ground, it gave people the illusion that the earth was shaking and the mountains were shaking. After the five-person team saw their victory, they quickly surrounded them to divide the spoils of war.
“Hahahaha, I didn’t expect our luck to be quite good. This fellow is really hard to find outside. But, as expected, this kind of place is rich in resources.”
“Just a single scale on its body can be sold for quite a lot of money, right? Come, come, everyone, quickly divide the things.”
A youth beckoned for everyone to go over.
Audrey looked at the giant beast that was lying in a pool of blood. Her beautiful azure eyes revealed a faint sadness.
She saw the light in the eyes of the giant beast slowly extinguish. This made her somewhat unable to accept it. The Demon Beast that was still as lively as a living tiger just moments ago had collapsed in front of her.
“This group of people are all free people like me,” Morris said coldly, “This is the reason why I don’t like to partic.i.p.ate. They came to invite me after knowing that I have an invitation letter. Their purpose is to obtain the resources inside. I hate such a method.”
