The Genius Mage

Audrey had never expected that she would not find any effective clues along the way. Instead, she had picked up a few heads.

Glancing at the few men who were silently following behind her, Audrey moved closer to Morris' ear and whispered, "Be careful of these people."

Although she was willing to let them travel together, Audrey did not trust them.

Their goal was the cliff flower, and after the cliff flower, they should be enemies.

"Did you all hear what I said last night?" Audrey crushed a pebble under her feet, making a crunching sound as she turned to look at the man.

The man knew that he could not hide it from her, so he only nodded while avoiding her gaze.

Since she already knew, Audrey had nothing to hide. She asked, "Have you seen an orchid here?"

The man shook his head. He had never seen a flower here, let alone an orchid.

"How do I find the flower of the cliff..." Hearing this, the hope in Audrey's eyes was extinguished like a candle flame. It did not look like there would be a flower here.

Thinking back to what Claude had said, Audrey vaguely remembered that there was another clue. It seemed to be...a stone statue!

There was a stone statue at the entrance of Crescent River Valley!

"Do you know where there are large stones in this area?" Since it was a stone statue, Audrey thought that it had to be somewhere with stones. Besides, did the orchids not grow in the crevices?

"Stones?" The man's lips squirmed as he frowned in thought.

Suddenly, he clapped his hands in surprise and said, "Speaking of stones, I do know a place with large stones."

The man had explored this area for a long time. Compared to Audrey and the others, he was much more familiar with it.

Following the man's footsteps, Audrey and the others returned to the riverside. He pointed to a faint mountain on the other side of the river valley and said, "It's over there."

Looking at the poisonous river water, Kate frowned and retreated. He mumbled, "The water is poisonous. How can we cross it?"

The man chuckled and waved his hand, pointing at the boat that had unknowingly stopped in the middle of the river valley. He chuckled and said, "Don't worry. With this, we can come and go as we please."

Could it be that this boat would be affected by the water?

Seeing Audrey sizing up the boat, the man walked forward and explained, "Although the water here is poisonous, as long as we don't come into contact with it, we'll be fine. Don't worry, I've already walked through it many times."

Seeing that the man did not seem to be lying, Audrey immediately boarded the boat, and Morris and the others followed her.

On the boat, Morris looked at the few people who were sitting side by side. They did not communicate with each other at all. He asked the man in the lead, "Why is there only one person speaking?"

This doubt had existed in Morris' heart for a long time. From the moment he saw these people, Morris had only seen the man in the lead speak. The others had never made a sound.

At the mention of this, the man's back seemed a little lonely.

After a long while, he slowly said, "They are all injured, so they have lost the ability to speak."

Hearing the man's words, an indescribable emotion surged in Audrey's heart. It was like sympathy, but also like anger.

It was just a flower, but countless people were willing to sacrifice themselves for it. They were willing to give up everything for it. In Spark City, no one understood more than Audrey how a person with a low combat aura would be treated.

These few men were eager to obtain the cliff flower in order to improve their skills and raise their status in Spark City.

"Is Dou technique really that important?" Looking at the man, Audrey asked.

After experiencing so much, Audrey gradually began to doubt. Could it be that in this world, it was really so difficult for people with low Dou techniques to survive?

The man forced a smile from the corner of his mouth and said, "People like you don't know what kind of life we lead."

His expression stung Audrey's eyes. She did not expect that she would be so high and mighty in the eyes of some people.

Morris spoke and interrupted the conversation between the two of them, "Watch your step."

Although it was a boat, water still seeped out from the gaps between the bamboos. They had to carefully avoid it.

When the boat reached the middle, it was suddenly pushed, and the boat jolted.

"Be careful!" Audrey exclaimed.

After the jolt, the boat gradually stabilized. Audrey was about to look at the water, but in the next second, an even more violent jolt followed.

Everyone began to shake passively.

Morris grabbed a long pole on the ship and barely managed to stabilize himself. He shouted, "Everyone, quickly hug the pillar beside you!"

The violent jolt made everyone panic for a moment. The water beneath their feet was highly toxic. If they fell into it, they would lose their lives.

With all their strength, everyone grabbed tightly onto the mast of the ship.

But at this moment, the man cried out in fear.

"Quick, quick, save him!"

Following his voice, they saw a person lying on the stern. His feet had already landed under the ship. If he took a step back, it would be valley water.

The ship was still shaking violently, and the people at the stern were getting off the ship bit by bit.
