Klein glanced at Audrey. He did not know if he could tell this to this Aite.
Audrey took the initiative to continue the conversation and said, “We’re here to save Spark City.”
In Audrey’s opinion, this should not be a secret. Instead, it should let everyone in Spark City know that Spark City was currently facing danger. Everyone needed to face it together.
“Spark City?” Aite’s face was filled with doubt. He had left Spark City for too long, so he had no idea what was going on inside.
Audrey nodded and continued, “Yes, do you know about demonic Qi?”
Aite was stunned. He searched his mind for demonic Qi, but it was a complete blank.
“Demonic Qi is a method that the Carol a.s.sociation wants to use against us. Once demonic Qi enters Spark City, everything will be ruined. The reason why I came looking for the cliff flower is to deal with demonic Qi and protect the peace of Spark City.”
After hearing Audrey’s words, tears of joy appeared on the faces of Aite and his companions. It was especially obvious under the contrast of the bonfire.
After a long while, Aite said in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “Spark City is really lucky to have you guys. We’re really lucky to have met you guys.”
Audrey had never been good at being sad, but when she heard Aite say that, her heart twitched violently.
Spark City was where she lived. No matter how dangerous it was, she would not hesitate. In her opinion, it was just a very ordinary thing.
After eating, Audrey put out the bonfire. There was still a certain risk in lighting a fire in this forest. If she was targeted by wild beasts, it would be troublesome.
“You go and rest first. I’ll stay here and guard,” Morris said as he walked over.
Audrey shook her head. She was not sleepy at all.
“Klein, Kate, you two go and rest,” Morris said to the other two.
Audrey raised her head and looked at the stars in the sky. Her tensed thoughts eased a little. There was always an anxiety in her heart.
It was Aite’s group. She wanted to send them back to Spark City. After all, this place was too dangerous. Now that she had lost one person, Audrey did not want to see anyone leave.
“Audrey, they won’t go back,” Morris said, “the cliff flower is like their obsession. If you send them back to Spark City safely now, they will set off again one day in the future.”
Morris could understand their thoughts because he had once had such an obsession.
This matter came to an end in Audrey’s silence.
The night came early in the forest. At midnight, just as Audrey was feeling a little sleepy, a rustling sound suddenly rang in her ear. Audrey’s nerves instantly tensed up.
She gently pushed Morris, who was beside her, and the latter looked at her.
Morris also heard the sound.
However, when the two of them stood up, the sound disappeared again. The surroundings were silent. Mosley drew a flame from his fingertip and looked around. It was pitch-black and there was nothing around.
“Perhaps we were too nervous. You go and rest first. I’ll stay here and watch,” Morris said to Audrey.
He continued to use the light in his hand to check the surroundings, but after looking around, there was nothing.
Did I really hear wrong?
Audrey, who had walked into the tent, had not fallen asleep as well. She was observing the movements outside.
Half an hour pa.s.sed, and it was still quiet. Only then did Audrey and Morris calm down.
However, they seemed to be happy a little too early.
Hiss, hiss, hiss.
Just as Audrey was about to fall asleep, a sound rang out. This time, it was very intense and very obvious.
She lifted the tent and saw Morris standing in the darkness with the sword in his hand.
“Go back first!” Morris turned his head and shouted at Audrey when he saw her come out.
“What’s wrong?” Audrey asked. Morris’ nervousness made her realize that things were not simple.
The voices of the two woke the others up.
Seeing that they were about to walk out of the tent, Audrey hurriedly stopped them and said, “Stop, don’t come out!”
Klein and Kate obediently retracted their feet.
The drowsiness that had yet to fully awaken was completely gone at this moment.
Having just escaped from the jaws of a tiger, they had once again fallen into the wolf’s den. Their journey was truly too difficult.
Audrey walked to Morris’ side. When she saw who was coming, she held her breath. How could there be such a beast here?
“You go in first,” Morris said softly.
He had just lit a fire on the ground. They did not dare to come over yet, but there was no way out behind them. It was no different from walking into a dead end.
The only way out was to fight to the death.
“I’m fine.” Audrey still stood still. She could not let Morris face such a dangerous monster alone.
Hiss, hiss, hiss.
The rustling sound came again, announcing to Audrey their dissatisfaction at the moment.
“Fire Phoenix!” Audrey summoned the Fire Phoenix.
Its appearance was as bright as a bright moon rising in the night sky.
Hiss, hiss, hiss.
The appearance of the Fire Phoenix made the cries from the opposite side more intense, and their heads were raised higher.
The cobra, a species Audrey had only read about in books, was the first she had ever seen.
