The Genius Mage

Chapter 381: Was a Long Cry

Audrey felt a chill in her heart. They had been so engrossed in the forest that they had forgotten about the possibility of the beasts attacking again. Now, Spark City had become the most dangerous place.

Audrey lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. Then, she said decisively, “Go into the cave and take a look. Be careful. Morris and I will go back and help Spark City.”

Hearing that, Adrian immediately replied, “Go quickly. Leave this place to us.”

Audrey nodded solemnly. Her eyes glanced toward the Fire Phoenix by her side. The Fire Phoenix immediately understood Audrey’s meaning. It carried the two of them and rushed to Spark City.

Outside the city gates, countless demonic beasts roared and continuously attacked Spark City. Many people came down to defend against the attacks of the beasts. However, the effect was not obvious. Instead, many people were injured by the beasts.

Seeing the tragic scene below, Audrey’s heart tightened, and her face gradually darkened.

She did not belong to this world, but she had gained family and friendship ever since she came here. This was because so many people around her treated her sincerely.

Slowly, she treated this place as her home, and she also had feelings for it.

She was no longer the cold and heartless Audrey from her previous life.

It was also because of her feelings that she had attachments. However, Audrey did not feel that it was a burden at all. On the contrary, it was a kind of happiness. For the sake of her family and friends, everything she did seemed to be more meaningful.

Audrey knew that this was their home where they were born and raised, so she did not allow anyone to destroy this place.

“Fire Phoenix, move forward!” Audrey’s gaze was tightly wrinkled as she stared at the place with the most wild beasts below and shouted sternly.

At the same time, Morris leaped down from the Fire Phoenix’s body and released a powerful Dou Qi that landed directly on the ground, causing quite a significant impact on the wild beasts.

Audrey commanded the Fire Phoenix to leap down. Several fireballs fell, but they avoided the crowd well and landed on the wild beasts.

Audrey also leaped down from the Fire Phoenix’s body and chanted softly, “Great Goddess of ice and snow, please freeze everything around you.”

As she chanted, the world suddenly changed. The air seemed to be frozen. The frost and snow fell together and enveloped Audrey. She mobilized all the power in her body and suddenly exerted her strength, turning the surrounding ice and snow into sharp snow blades that fell rapidly.

Even a knife falling from the sky was only so-so.

The wild beast immediately let out a series of miserable cries. The corners of Audrey’s mouth rose slightly, and a sharp glint flashed across her eyes. She once again wrapped her battle Qi around the longsword and stabbed it cleanly toward the ground.

The surrounding frost turned into a sharp sword the moment it came into contact with the longsword.

The residents who were initially at a disadvantage had turned the situation around in an instant. When they saw how Audrey was working so hard to defend Spark City, they seemed to be encouraged. They picked up their weapons and continued to resist the wild beast.

The appearance of Audrey, Morris, and the Fire Phoenix made the entire battlefield even more intense. However, they were only teaching the wild beast a lesson, not the wild beast attacking people.

After temporarily stabilizing the situation, Audrey and Morris went deep into the battlefield. They repelled the beasts while saving the people who were being attacked.

At this moment, a long cry sounded. The beasts that were attacking suddenly stopped. Then, they turned around and left at a rapid speed.

The long cry was not very clear during the battle, but Audrey and Morris heard it. The two of them looked at each other tacitly, feeling a little uneasy.

It seemed like these beasts were indeed controlled by someone, and it was very orderly.

That person was using so many innocent beasts. What was he trying to do!?

The others did not understand why the beasts suddenly retreated. They all thought that they were too strong, so the beasts did not dare to attack anymore.

Therefore, cheers came from the crowd.

“We won. That’s great.”

“Yeah, who was that just now? So powerful.”

Up until now, there were still people who did not know Audrey’s identity. However, the person beside her immediately replied, “That’s Audrey, the genius girl from Spark City.”

Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately shouted for Audrey. For a moment, Audrey seemed to have become everyone’s savior.

Audrey herself did not care about this. She gave a faint glance and went to look for Lance on the city wall. She believed that he had heard the long cry just now.

“Audrey, you’ve done well,” Lance said softly when he saw Audrey.

Audrey nodded and looked at Lance with some doubt. He and the Shadowless Ghost Hand were both stronger than her, but why did they not take action when facing the beast’s attack?

As if he could read Audrey’s thoughts, Lance chuckled and said, “Are you curious as to why Shadowless Ghost Hand and I didn’t take action against the beast?”

Hearing this, Audrey’s eyes lit up. She did not expect Lance to know what she was thinking.

Audrey nodded without any hesitation and looked at Lance in bewilderment.

“If we don’t take action, we’ll be able to lure out the person behind the scenes,” Shadowless Ghost Hand answered first. “It’s the most boring thing to get rid of them all at once.”

Audrey listened thoughtfully and roughly understood what the two of them were doing.

However, Audrey did not think that this was desirable. This would cause more harm to the citizens of Spark City. As for the culprit behind the scenes, they could slowly investigate.

“Did the City Lord hear a long cry?” Audrey went straight to the point.

Lance’s eyes drooped slightly, and a complicated look flashed across his face. He nodded and said meaningfully, “That long cry must be used to control wild beasts. Investigate it well.”
