The Genius Mage

A series of low growls could be heard as the beast’s aura got closer and closer. Audrey clenched her fists and tried her best to hide her aura.

Beasts had always had a sensitive sense of smell. So even if they tried their best to hide, they could not guarantee that they would not be discovered.

A moment later, dozens of beasts walked toward Audrey and the others. Beside them, Kate and Klein were sweating profusely due to their nervousness.

“What should we do?” Kate asked in a low voice. Holding their breaths so carefully was also an extremely challenging task.

“Shh, they haven’t discovered us yet,” Morris hurriedly reminded them in case the wild beasts heard their voices.

Kate nodded, a hint of forbearance flashing across her face.

Wild beasts constantly flitted past them. No matter how afraid they were, they could not let out even a hint of their presence. So this was a great test for them.

After a long while, most of the wild beasts had walked over. Audrey heaved a sigh of relief. Then, just as she was about to relax, a low growl came from not too far away.

Following that, a huge lion turned around and pounced over.

Oh no, I’ve been discovered! Audrey thought to herself. She gave her teammate an anxious look and swiftly picked up her longsword. Then, she stood up to receive the huge lion’s attack.

The lion’s body was huge, and it seemed like it would be able to crush Audrey if it pounced down.

There was no fear in Audrey’s eyes. Instead, she ran forward and built an ice wall in front of her. Unfortunately, the lion crashed into it unprepared and fell to the ground.

However, it was evident that this did not cause much damage to it.

Soon, the lion stood up again and roared at Audrey.

At the same time, the other wild beasts behind it also turned around and attacked Morris and the others. There were also many large animals, such as the white tiger and the clouded leopard.

Although wild beasts were not as powerful as divine beasts, their attack power was not to be underestimated.

Audrey could not help but feel nervous for her teammates. However, in front of her was the largest and most powerful giant lion. Audrey did not dare to divert her attention to check on her teammates.

The lion roared angrily as if it wanted to scare Audrey away. When it realized that Audrey did not make any movements, it pounced forward and stretched out its front paw, slapping Audrey.

“Ice seal!” Audrey’s eyes narrowed. A water column appeared in her hand and attacked the lion.

When the water column touched the lion, it quickly condensed into ice and froze the lion’s front paw.

This made the giant lion even angrier. It slammed its front claws on the ground, breaking the layer of ice. Then, it lowered its head and charged at Audrey.

“Storm!”

Audrey quickly gathered a ball of energy in her hand. Together with the surrounding wind elements, she blocked the giant lion’s attack.

The two sides were in a stalemate, but it was obvious that Audrey was slightly better.

Taking this opportunity, Audrey also observed the situation around her. Klein and the others were doing their best to resist the other beasts, but they seemed to be struggling.

What Kate was dealing with was a wolf. Wolves were also wild animals. Faced with Kate’s attack, they did not cower at all. Instead, they were even more eager to fight.

Audrey suddenly realized that there was a clouded leopard behind Kate that was preparing to attack him.

Without any time to think, Audrey hurriedly pulled out a hand and transformed into a wind dragon that attacked the giant lion, forcing it to take a few steps back.

Only then did Audrey have a chance to withdraw. She flashed to Kate’s side and with a wave of her hand, she threw the clouded leopard to the ground.

Noticing the movement behind him, Kate snapped back to his senses. Seeing the scene in front of him, he instantly understood.

“Be careful. It won’t be easy to recover from being scratched by them,” Audrey instructed in a low voice.

“I know. You too.”

Audrey nodded and turned her head to look at the giant lion. Her azure eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of danger. She raised her longsword and leaped forward.

“Wind splitting slash!” A powerful aura was released, sweeping the giant lion to the ground.

The surrounding wild beasts seemed to have sensed the dangerous aura as they let out furious roars. It sounded extremely frightening, and Audrey could not help but frown.

If all of these wild beasts were dealt with, blood would definitely flow like a river, and more wild beasts would be attracted.

It would be best if she could force the wild beasts away.

Audrey thought for a moment and turned her gaze to the giant lion. The lion was the king of the forest, so it was no exception among the wild beasts.

From the moment they appeared, the giant lion had been walking at the front. Clearly, it was the leader.

If the giant lion obediently left, the other wild beasts would probably leave as well.

With this thought in mind, a fireball condensed in Audrey’s palm. She walked to the side of the giant lion without fear and acted as if she wanted to attack the fire.

A hint of fear flashed in the eyes of the giant lion. It seemed like it wanted to escape.

At this moment, Audrey’s other hand condensed another energy ball. She raised it high and attacked the giant lion.

The giant lion roared angrily and dodged in a hurry.

Audrey snorted coldly in her heart. She constantly released her combat aura and energy balls, forcing the giant lion to dodge continuously. She was angry but she could not do anything to Audrey.

Feeling that the giant lion’s attack power was almost gone, Audrey raised the fireball in her hand, looking like she was about to attack.
