The Genius Mage

At this moment, the Elder in charge of this event walked out. Nelter was holding a book and something similar to a walking stick. However, Audrey knew that the sapphire-blue bead on the walking stick had great power.

Presumably, Nelter would use that magic wand to teleport everyone to the snow mountain.

Nelter quickly explained the rules, just like what Cole had said.

Each team would be teleported to a different place. Everyone's ultimate goal was to defeat the Snow Qilin who was guarding the Snow Lotus and obtain the Snow Lotus.

It was said that the Snow Qilin was very powerful. Just by standing there, many people would be scared out of their wits.

"I believe that everyone is ready to take the risk. Now, let's begin your adventure. If you can't hold on any longer, send a message through the token at any time. I will bring you back as soon as possible.

"The second place in the competition is friendship and safety. All of you can do your best," Nelter said solemnly.

Shaking the charlatan in his hand, the sapphire-blue bead instantly emitted a blinding blue light, enveloping everyone. Everyone subconsciously closed their eyes.

Suddenly, they felt a bone-piercing cold wind. When they opened their eyes again, Audrey discovered that they had been transported to the location of the snow mountain.

The so-called snow mountain was not just a mountain, but a place. It was covered by a sky full of cold snow. One could not see the end of it, and the mountains, big and small, were also covered by snow.

Therefore, it was not easy to find a Snow Lotus in such a vast and endless place.

"Achoo! It's too cold here." Beside them, Klein sneezed and said while shivering.

The others also wrapped themselves tightly with their clothes.

Seeing this, Audrey immediately took out a few bottles of medicine and handed them to them. "This is a medicine that can keep your body warm. Drink it. It can last for a period of time."

"Audrey, you can even refine this," Cole said in surprise.

"Simple," Audrey answered faintly. Her tone was relaxed, which made them click their tongues. To Audrey, everything seemed to be simple.

They quickly drank the potion. At the same time, Audrey also used magic to keep them warm so that they could move freely in the snow.

If they were to cower because of the cold, their strength would be greatly reduced.

"This place is so big. Where are we going to find the Snow Lotus?" Kate asked with slight worry. As the weakest person in the team, he really wanted to do something for the team so that he would not drag them down.

When these words came out, the others also fell into deep thought.

The Templar Knights did not give too many hints about the Snow Lotus. They had relied on their own accumulation, but they did not know much about the Snow Lotus.

"The Snow Lotus grows in the coldest place, and the environment is extremely harsh. If I'm not mistaken, it should grow on the highest snow mountain here, which happens to be the mountain beside us," Audrey said calmly.

Before coming here, she had already flipped through many books to search for information about the Snow Lotus. Although she had found very few, she had managed to find some.

"Really? Audrey, how did you know? You're too amazing," Hobart said.

He had felt embarrassed after losing to Audrey the last time, but now he was convinced that Audrey was really powerful.

"I just flipped through a few books," Audrey said casually. In fact, she had almost flipped through all the ancient books.

"Fortunately, you're prepared. Then, let's prepare to climb up this mountain." Klein chuckled, his eyes filled with admiration.

Audrey nodded. Based on their abilities, they could only climb up, not fly.

Audrey gave them some anti-skid equipment and found a path that seemed easier to climb up. She then climbed up. The snow was very thick, and with a single step, there was a creaking sound.

Klein was the first to bear the brunt, while Audrey was the second, protecting Kate in the middle.

"Kate!" Suddenly, Audrey felt that her back had suddenly become shorter. She turned her head and saw that Kate had fallen down. If she was not careful, she would roll down the snowy mountain.

She hurriedly chanted an incantation, and the snowflakes around her suddenly gathered in a regular pattern and floated toward Kate. They formed a snow net under his body and supported Kate.

Audrey also stretched out her hand and pulled Kate back to her side.

"Be careful," she said softly.

"Yes, yes, I know." Kate was stunned. His heart palpitated slightly. Audrey was just showing concern for him.

Before the first wave passed, another wave rose.

After the few of them had adjusted themselves, they were about to continue climbing when the snow mountain suddenly began to shake.

"Hold hands!" Klein hurriedly shouted from the front.

The few of them held hands and only managed to stabilize their bodies with their battle spirit. The snow mountain finally stopped shaking when a fiery-red bird clan suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"Is that a Phoenix?" Adrian asked uncertainly based on his memory.

"Yes," Audrey gave him a definite answer.

That was indeed a Fire Phoenix. In her previous life, she had the honor of meeting it once. In her previous life, she had been very powerful and had easily dealt with the Fire Phoenix. But now, to deal with the Fire Phoenix in front of her, was clearly a strenuous task.

Audrey did not want to expend too much energy because of the Fire Phoenix. After all, there might be more dangers and battles later on. She needed to preserve her strength.

"I heard that when the Fire Phoenix is about to reach nirvana, it will go to the snow mountain to cultivate. It's to prevent it from going berserk and drawing fire to itself. Don't tell me we just happened to bump into each other?" Klein said worriedly.

"It looks like it." Audrey carefully observed the Fire Phoenix. It seemed to be very angry. They must have interrupted the Fire Phoenix's cultivation.

Could the Fire Phoenix be cultivating somewhere at the foot of the snowy mountain?
