The Genius Mage

As soon as Kate finished speaking, the man's expression turned gloomy. He said, "If it wasn't for the cliff flower, who would come to such a place?"

Kate scratched his head. He was indeed asking nonsense.

"Young man, there are many dangers here. I'd advise you not to continue forward," The man said to Audrey and the others with a sigh.

Klein hurriedly asked, "Uncle, have you already been there?"

The man shook his head and stretched out his hand to stir the fire in front of him. The fire burned even more vigorously, producing crackling sounds.

"We haven't found it yet." The man's face was filled with helplessness.

That was true. Why would they stay here if they had found it?

"We've been walking all night and experienced a strong wind just now, so we'll take a break for now. We'll continue on our journey later."

Hearing the strong wind, Kate immediately perked up and shouted, "Uncle, did you also encounter that strong wind just now? There's also a cloud of fog."

The man grinned and said, "That fog and strong wind are common here. We're already used to it."

"Is that boat yours?" Audrey, who had been silent all this while, suddenly asked.

The man was taken aback by the unexpected question. He glanced at the boat and nodded. "Yes, I made it with the bamboo in the forest for convenience."

Audrey nodded and did not say anything else.

Lance had once mentioned to her that the cliff flower was feared by many people because of the special environment it grew in. Its functions were also very special.

In Spark City, there were also many people who risked their lives to look for it. Their goal was to increase their combat aura.

Looking at the few people in front of them whose combat aura could be said to be so weak that they could not be detected, their goal could be seen at a glance.

Audrey did not want to have anything to do with them.

"Kate, Klein, let's go." Seeing that the two of them were still chatting warmly, Audrey interrupted them.

Kate and Klein clearly wanted to say something, but seeing that Audrey still got up and walked back, they nodded at the man and continued walking forward.

"Why don't you ask them?" Klein asked in puzzlement.

Audrey was silent for a long time before she finally said, "I think there's something wrong with those people."

The boat that was parked by the river was a little old. The body of the boat was still white. It looked like it had been parked there for a long time. It could not be their boat.

However, when Audrey asked, these people did not panic and said that they had just made the boat. It was obvious that they were lying.

No matter what, these people could not be trusted.

However, before they had walked far, they heard the man's voice from behind them.

"Wait, wait."

They turned around and saw him panting as he chased after them.

"I'll go with you. The road ahead is dangerous. I can help you too." The man looked honest and honest.

However, Audrey still shook her head firmly and said coldly, "There's no need. We'll leave on our own."

The man's expression changed when Audrey said that. He looked at Audrey with a sinister gaze and said sinisterly, "Is there really no need? Can the few of you find the flower of the cliff?"

The man's tone was full of undisguised mockery.

Audrey glanced at Morris. Without saying anything, Morris understood what Audrey meant.

"What do you want?" Morris walked in front of Audrey and blocked the man's line of sight.

The man snorted coldly and said, "There's only one cliff flower, and it's the only one in the world! It belongs to us, so don't even think about it!"

It turned out that he was worried about snatching the cliff flower from them.

Audrey had already felt that this enthusiasm was a little strange, but now that her true nature had been exposed, she did not want to waste her breath on them. She said coldly, "Whoever gets the cliff flower will have to rely on their own abilities."

The man laughed even louder and looked at Audrey in disdain. "Rely on their own abilities? That cliff flower is also ours!"

Audrey sneered coldly. She did not want to continue talking to this person. No matter how much she said, it would be useless.

"Let's go," Audrey said as she looked at the others.

The man behind her suddenly sneered, "Can you still leave now?"

He took out something that looked like a stick from his chest pocket. Audrey took a closer look and could barely recognize that it was a flute. The man in the lead seemed to be a leader. After he took it out, the others also took it out one after another.

Audrey immediately felt that something was wrong. She thought that the fog just now must be related to these people!

"Let's leave quickly!" Audrey cried out in surprise.

However, before they had taken a few steps, the fog surged up one after another, followed by strong winds.

In the fog, Audrey could barely see the few people. They were playing the flute in their hands. Unlike ordinary flutes, these flutes did not make any sound.

However, as though they could gather energy, the fog continued to surge toward Audrey and the others.

"This thing is actually the work of those few people?!" Kate was already staggering from the wind. He had to grab Klein's backpack strap to barely stand still.

"Everyone, hold on tight." Under the fog, Audrey felt as though her voice had been suppressed.

The fog was more like a ball of cotton, constantly blocking her seven orifices.

This was definitely not going to work. Audrey wanted to gather her combat aura, but she could not muster any strength in her palms.
