The Genius Mage Chapter 394 – Heading to the Crescent River Valley

Chapter 394: Heading to the Crescent River Valley

Under the gazes of the entire city, Audrey and the others began their journey to the Crescent River Valley.

The Crescent River Valley was located on a steep cliff. Audrey held the map given by Claude and led the group forward.

Outside the city, everything was deathly silent. To avoid unnecessary trouble, Audrey and the others chose to walk. This was the safest but also the slowest way.

“Watch your step!”

Morris, who was walking in front, suddenly cried out in surprise. The others followed his voice and looked down. The ground was covered with black roots that looked like thorns.

“Stay where you are and don’t move,” Audrey said.

She took out the small knife that she carried with her and cut the roots. It was useless. Instead, they seemed to have magic power and became more and more savage.

“What is this?” Klein asked curiously and fearfully.

It should be Wu. Looking at their shapes, Audrey guessed that she had once read in a book that Wu was a kind of medicinal herb. It had a very precious value.

However, it was evident that someone had contaminated this Wu.

“Move aside a little,” Audrey said to the few of them. “In a while, I’ll drive these Wu away. All of you hurry over.”

They nodded.

Audrey gathered a ball of energy and smashed it at the Wu.

The Wu quickly retreated to both sides as if it felt pain, leaving a small path in the middle. Klein and the others quickly walked over.

Audrey put away the energy ball and rushed over in the last few seconds, seeing them go over.

However, the scene after made them even more shocked.

Large swathes of Wu were pressed together like clusters of black clouds, making everyone’s mood turn heavy.

“Why are there so many Wu?” Audrey said in surprise.

It was already challenging to find Wu, and so many Wu made people’s scalps go numb.

Morris looked at the dark mass and said in a low voice, “They must have been cast with witchcraft by someone. They no longer have any precious functions.”

Witchcraft? Audrey was secretly surprised. If someone really cast witchcraft, what was their purpose?

Morris continued, “They must be trying to stop people from walking forward.”

Apart from the effects of the precious medicinal herbs, Wu also had an extremely strong stickiness. If one were to touch it, it would be as though they had entered a swamp, sinking deep into it and unable to extricate themselves.

“Let’s leave this place as soon as possible,” Audrey said.

Seeing that the sky had turned dark, they still needed to find a safe location to set up camp as soon as possible. Otherwise, they would not have a good night.

“Let me do it,” Morris said as he stopped Audrey, who was about to cast a spell.

Thinking of his injuries, Audrey hesitated for a moment. “Can you do it?” She was worried that his body could not take it.

“Don’t worry.” Morris smiled. The first thing she did when she returned to Spark City was to check on her body.

“Okay.” Audrey nodded.

The advantage of having more people was that they could cooperate with each other. This way, they would not tire themselves out.

After passing through this enormous piece of Wu land, there was a forest in front of them. Outside Spark City, the most common forest was a forest. These forests were densely packed with dangers, and it was a great test.

“Let’s rest here for the night. We’ll set off tomorrow morning,” Audrey said after looking at the sky. Entering the forest now would only increase the risk. There were no other benefits.

“Okay,” the three of them agreed immediately.

The three of them found an empty space and sat down. Klein waved his hand and lit a fire. The few of them were illuminated by the fire, and the cold feeling in the dark gradually dissipated.

“Audrey, will you regret it?” Klein suddenly asked.

In the dark night, the fire flickered. Klein could not see Audrey’s face clearly, so he could only guess her emotions based on her voice.

“I don’t regret it,” Audrey said sincerely.

Audrey did not regret anything when she could feel the joys and sorrows of this world. Likewise, she did not regret anything when she could do what she could for the city.

Meeting this group of people has enriched her people with me. She likes this feeling.

“Don’t worry. No matter what, I will protect you.”

Even if it meant losing her life.

Before setting off, Audrey had already thought that if she encountered any difficulties along the way, she would definitely protect these people even if she had to give up her life.

“Audrey, we’re a team,” said Morris, who had been silent the entire time.

Yes, they were a team. No matter what, they could not let Audrey be in danger alone.

In the darkness, Audrey smiled. This was a smile that came from the bottom of her heart.

While the few of them were chatting, a low roar of a wild beast suddenly sounded.

“Put out the fire quickly!” Audrey cried out in surprise.

It was pitch black everywhere. Their bright lights would easily attract the attention of some people.

They quickly put out the fire, but the sound of the wild beast was still getting closer and closer to them. Audrey hurriedly stood up, wiped her eyes with her finger, and looked around.

She saw a group of beasts swarming toward them.

“Hold your breath and don’t move,” Audrey said solemnly.

These wild beasts were filled with savagery. If they fell into its mouth, they would die without a doubt.
