The Genius Mage

Audrey could not help but care. She felt like an executioner who had ended a young and beautiful life.

However, time did not give Audrey that much of a chance to repent.

Just as everyone was preparing to leave in the direction of Little Lin, they observed a moment of silence.

Suddenly, the water in front of them was lifted up like layers of cloth. It rose higher and higher until it finally formed a huge wall of water.

There were two holes in the middle that looked like eyes. They were facing Audrey and the others, making them panic.

Audrey also smelled the dangerous aura from it. She led the group to retreat step by step. However, in front of it, they were like small shrimps in the valley water. They were not worthy of her attention.

"Morris, take them and leave first. I'll deal with them here," said Audrey.

Morris did not retreat. Instead, he advanced and stood beside her. He said, "Klein, take them with you. I'll stay here to help Audrey."

There was no way Morris would leave alone with such a colossus in front of him.

"I'm not leaving. If you want to leave, then let Kate leave!" Klein also cast aside his relationship with the two and stood beside them.

In the end, no one was able to leave. They all stayed behind.

Behind the four of them, the man and a few others trembled as they watched. The forest behind them was filled with danger, and the forest in front of them was even more dangerous.

If they continued forward, they would only end up dead. It was better to stay here.

Audrey was thinking about how to deal with this monster that she had never seen before. Suddenly, he spoke.

"Who are you people? Why are you here?"

Unlike its huge body, the monster's voice was very cute, like that of a child.

Audrey gripped the scabbard on her waist tightly and said coldly, "We're here to look for something."

"What are you looking for?" The wall-like thing actually walked forward.

Only then did Audrey understand that the thing they had just crossed was not a grain of water. It was clearly the body of a monster. In other words, Little Lin had been eaten by this monster.

Seeing that Audrey ignored him, the voice of the wall of water suddenly changed. It even sounded a little angry. "You're here to look for the cliff flower, right? Foolish humans!"

"You cowardly humans, the cliff flower isn't something you can touch!"

It knew the clues to the cliff flower! These few words made Audrey feel delighted.

"Do you know where the cliff flower is?" Audrey asked.

Although it was just a transparent city wall, Audrey could see its tsundere expression from its tone.

"Of course I know. There's nothing I don't know in this forest."

Audrey smiled and asked tentatively, "Then, how can you tell us its clues?"

A sinister laugh sounded as it said, "Play games with me. If you win, I'll let you go. If you lose, I'll eat all of you."

Hearing that it was going to eat them, Klein had goosebumps all over his body. Although this monster had a gentle personality, it was not extremely violent when it attacked.

"Audrey, why don't you let me do it?" Morris walked up to Audrey and patted her on the shoulder.

On the way, Audrey had been protecting them. Morris had seen all of this.

Audrey smiled and comforted them, "It's fine. You guys are still here. Don't worry."

The water wall looked like a child. It was unknown what it was looking for. After a long while, it took something out from its pocket and placed it on a stone chair between it and Audrey.

It was a glass bead.

Audrey could not help but laugh. This was a game that only children in Spark City would play. Its marble must have been snatched from a passer-by.

"Do you know how to play this?" The waterwall asked proudly.

Audrey nodded and said, "Of course."

Seeing Audrey's confident look, the waterwall was taken aback and said, "You actually know how to play?"

"Let's begin." Audrey did not want to waste any more time on it. She picked up a glass bead and began to play.

She had touched the glass bead countless times when she was learning magic. The moment she picked it up, she felt the familiar sensation.

The game was to win all of the opponent's glass beads by setting up an array.

Thus, in the forest, an unprecedented scene appeared. It was unprecedented to be able to live in harmony with a monster.

Half the time had passed, and Audrey had won half of the glass beads on the other side of the water wall.

Audrey could sense that its emotions were changing. She could clearly hear its heavy breathing due to its anger.

"The last one." Audrey waved the glass beads in her hand at him, then stretched out her hand to flick the glass beads on the other side.

It was a fatal move.

Audrey won all the glass beads.

"I've won." Audrey placed all the marbles in her hands and raised them up for the water wall to see.

However, monsters were monsters after all. How could they care about honesty? He waved his hand and directly waved all the glass beads in Audrey's hands down.

"You're courting death!"

He was so embarrassed that he flew into a rage. Just as he was about to hit Audrey, Morris rushed over from the side and used his combat aura to flip the monster to the ground.

It was huge and shook the entire place until it began to move.

"You stupid people! How dare you attack me!" This attack turned the water wall into a wall of fire.
