Chapter 374: Beast Attack
A few days later, Audrey saw Rob again. He was still wearing the same black robe, but he still looked neat and elegant.
“It seems like you’ve improved a lot.” Rob felt Audrey’s unique power as soon as he entered, and he teased her with a smile.
“Thanks to you,” Audrey replied, then said, “can you tell me everything now? I don’t like the feeling of being kept in the dark.”
Robert paused for a moment, then nodded. The two sat down calmly, and Robert spoke.
“I brought you here because this place belongs to you. Besides, you ate the all-spirits fruit. With your current strength, it’s not enough to completely digest it. I have to protect you.”
Hearing this, Audrey frowned slightly. She sensed that something was unusual.
“What’s our relations.h.i.+p?” She asked cautiously.
“Naturally, it’s a very close relations.h.i.+p.” Rob did not say it out loud.
Audrey frowned slightly and did not continue asking. She only said slowly, “I know someone who looks exactly like you. He’s the City Lord of Spark City.”
Rob did not seem to be surprised by what Audrey said. Instead, he chuckled and said, “That’s just a clone of mine. You don’t have to worry about it.”
Clone?
Audrey was instantly stunned. She was curious as to who Rob was. Apart from being in this illusion, he could actually have a clone outside. It was truly inconceivable.
“Who are you?” Audrey asked curiously.
“I’ll tell you about this in the future. All you need to know is that I’m your strongest ally. I’ll always be here to accompany you. As for the matters outside, you can do whatever you want. When the time is right, you’ll know everything.” Rob smiled faintly when he said that.
Audrey still had many questions regarding these words, but Rob did not give her another chance to ask. “Alright, I’ll bring you out.”
As he spoke, Rob had already walked forward. Audrey followed him. After walking for a short while, the two of them arrived at an invisible door. After pa.s.sing through the door, they arrived at a valley in the otherworldly realm.
After returning to a familiar place, Audrey immediately heaved a sigh of relief. When she turned around to look at Rob, he had already returned.
Audrey could not care less. She hurriedly left the valley and found Meatball, who was leisurely soaking in the hot spring. He had been by her side that day.
Audrey planned to ask him about it.
“Meatball, what exactly happened that day?” Audrey went forward and pinched Meatball’s cheek as she asked seriously.
“I don’t know either.” Meatball had an innocent look on his face as he frowned and said, “After you fainted, he took you away for no reason. I can’t beat him, so I just let him.”
Hearing that, Audrey revealed a speechless expression. This Meatball really knew how to act innocent.
Forget it. He was just a cute little fellow.
“I’ll be leaving first.” Audrey glanced at him helplessly. With a flash, she left the otherworldly realm and returned to the Templar Knights.
It was dark. Audrey wanted to return to her dormitory to rest, but she suddenly realized that the people in the Templar Knights were exceptionally lively. Everyone was in a hurry as they walked out together.
Audrey did not understand what had happened. She could already sense a dangerous aura coming from outside the city.
She grabbed a person and asked anxiously, “What happened?”
“I don’t know why, but a large number of wild beasts are attacking from outside the city. They’re about to surround Spark City.” That day, she had a nervous look on her face. She looked like she was about to run for her life as she hurriedly ran away from Audrey’s subordinates.
Audrey’s expression darkened. According to what that person had said, most of the members of the Templar Knights must have gone to the city gate to deal with the wild beasts. No wonder the dormitory building was so quiet, but it was a little noisy outside the city.
Audrey did not dare to hesitate and immediately rushed out of the city.
Many Knights gathered at the gate. As the saying went, ‘train your soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a short period of time’. This was probably the time. Besides, many people from the five major clans had also arrived here. They were nervously watching the large number of wild beasts that were attacking not far away.
Audrey searched through the crowd and soon found some teammates.
“What happened?” Audrey went up and asked.
“A large number of wild beasts outside the city. I don’t know what triggered them, but they attacked Spark City on a large scale,” Hobart said solemnly.
“There are so many wild beasts. I don’t know if they can withstand them.”
“I haven’t seen you for a few days. Where have you been?”
Klein asked, and Audrey, who had just come out of the otherworldly realm, suddenly felt a little guilty. She replied perfunctorily, “Nothing. I just had a good rest for a few days.”
Perhaps due to the situation’s urgency, the few of them did not overthink about it.
Outside the city, all kinds of wild beasts let out strange roars. Then, very quickly, they arrived at the foot of the city and started fighting with some of the residents.
For a moment, the outside of the city was extremely chaotic. Although wild beasts were not as strong as divine beasts, they were not weak either. Ordinary cultivators were not their match at all.
“Let’s go and help.” Adrian’s eyes turned sharp as he quickly jumped off the city wall and joined the battle. The others joined in as well.
Audrey looked nervously at her teammates.
It was not possible to continue fighting like this. In the end, both sides would suffer heavy losses.
The wild beasts had lived near Spark City all year round and had always been well-behaved. Why they suddenly launched a large-scale attack was really puzzling.
Perhaps finding the root cause was the key to solving them.
