The Genius Mage

Audrey nodded affirmatively and walked over.

The forest was exceptionally quiet. From time to time, there would be the sound of birds chirping. It was clear that there was not any danger here. Audrey and the others gradually relaxed.

After walking for a long time, the sun gradually set, but they still did not see any traces of the Herb King Valley.

Audrey could not help but frown. No matter how big the forest was, it was impossible for them to search for so long and still not see the Herb King Valley. It was very likely that they were looking in the wrong direction.

The sky had darkened. It was dangerous to travel at night in the forest. Audrey simply told everyone to rest on the spot and search again at dawn.

After the tent was set up, Audrey used the excuse of resting to go to the otherworldly realm.

Two days ago, she had wanted to go to the house to search for information on the Herb King Valley. However, she was interrupted by the appearance of wild beasts. Audrey wanted to take this opportunity to search again.

After entering the otherworldly realm, Audrey dove into the house and flipped through all the books. She could be considered to have obtained some useful information.

After closing the last book, Audrey walked out of the house and stretched.

"I've finished reading. Did you find anything?" Meatball walked up with short steps, tilted his head, and asked with an eccentric look.

"Some." Audrey curled her lips and said, "The Herb King Valley is hidden in the world. You can't find it with ordinary methods."

"Then how do we find it?" Meatball asked in puzzlement.

"There's no need to find it. Let them find it themselves." Audrey smiled mysteriously. She looked at Meatball thoughtfully and left.

Audrey finally understood why the Herb King Valley was so difficult to find. Everyone thought that it was in the forest, but in fact, it was impossible to find it if one kept searching in the forest.

There was a layer of seal outside the Herb King Valley, which made it hidden in the forest. One needed to find a special passage to enter.

The forest was so big, so it was naturally not easy to find the location of the seal. Therefore, Audrey did not think of looking for it at all. Instead, she asked the people of the Herb King Valley to find her.

The disciples of the Herb King Valley often went to the forest to pick herbs. When they met people who usually barged into the forest, they would ignore them. However, if they met someone who felt that they were in danger, they would be taken to the Herb King Valley.

Although being taken away was a dangerous thing, Audrey had never been afraid of danger.

After returning, Audrey told Klein and the others about the news. Only then did they realize that no wonder they had not made any progress after searching for a whole day.

"Then, what should we do?" Klein immediately asked.

Audrey smiled faintly and looked at them indifferently. "Rest well tonight. We'll have a plan tomorrow."

Hearing this, Klein and the others revealed puzzled expressions. Audrey did not say anything more and only said, "There's no need to hide your aura tonight. There's no need to keep watch. Everyone, rest well. No matter what happens, you don't have to care."

"What if we run into danger?" Hearing this, they instantly felt uneasy. Hobart's expression was solemn.

"It won't happen. Even if we run into danger, it's from the Herb King Valley. Nothing will happen," Audrey consoled. Only then did the few of them feel slightly relieved. They entered the tent with a dubious expression.

Previously, they had been hiding their auras because they were worried that exposing their auras would lead to danger. But today, Audrey understood that exposing their auras would attract the people from the Herb King Valley over.

The auras on their bodies were very strong. Naturally, the Herb King Valley would think that they were in danger and take the initiative to find them.

At night, the four of them entered the tent to rest. Audrey left some of her senses outside.

In the middle of the night, they indeed heard rustling sounds around them. It was not the sound of animals, but the sound of human footsteps.

However, the sound only lingered a short distance away. It did not get close before it left.

The next day, the four of them walked out of the tent unscathed. Klein and the others could not help but feel amazed.

"I didn't expect it to be so safe here. We passed the night without anyone keeping watch," Klein said with a smile.

As soon as he said that, a group of people suddenly appeared in front of them. They wore long white robes and carried baskets on their backs.

Before they got close, Audrey could smell the herbal scent on the group of people. As expected, the people from Herb King Valley had arrived.

"Who are they?" Hobart's expression tensed. He was already prepared to fight.

"They're from the Herb King Valley," Audrey explained.

Soon, the group of people arrived in front of them. The leader was a young man in his twenties, but his aura was not weak.

"Who are you people? How dare you barge into the sacred land of the Herb King Valley?" The man asked sternly, but he still revealed a hint of timidity in his eyes. He had been captured by Audrey.

However, this was normal. After all, the hostages of the Herb King Valley were good at using the medicine. They would naturally feel afraid when they encountered people with such strong Dou Qi.

"We've come from the north. We want to see the legendary Herb King Valley." Audrey stepped forward and said with a friendly manner, "We have no ill intentions."

Audrey knew that the other party should also know that they were not their match. That was why they had brought so many people here just to bolster their courage.

If they showed kindness, perhaps they would accept it.
