The Genius Mage

Audrey was like a mummy. She was wrapped up by the giant snake and only her head was exposed. Her breathing was also somewhat difficult because she was entangled by the giant snake, so Audrey was unable to use her battle technique.

“Gale slash!” Kate mobilized the wind elements around him and hacked at the giant snake’s body at lightning speed.

The giant snake wanted to dodge, so it could only release Audrey. However, it did not let go immediately. Instead, it swung its body and threw Audrey a few meters away.

Following that, the giant snake’s gaze fell on Kate. It opened its bloody mouth and pounced at Kate.

“Earth-shattering slash!” Kate hurriedly used a level 1 battle technique. A crack quickly appeared on the floor, and half of the giant snake’s body fell down.

Seeing this, Kate was delighted. Just as he was about to use another battle technique to destroy the giant snake, the giant snake’s body suddenly grew larger. It directly opened up the floor, and the giant snake’s body rose into the air and quickly wrapped itself around Kate.

“Shatter!” The battle technique Kate used was useless. It was completely useless.

“Kate, hold on!” Not far away, Audrey’s brows were tightly knitted. She was slightly worried, but she could use this opportunity to deal with the giant snake better.

In a flash, Audrey arrived beside the giant snake. She found the seven inches of the giant snake and chanted, “Great Goddess of ice and snow, please bestow me with divine power!”

“Frost arrows!” In Audrey’s hands, countless sharp arrowheads appeared and struck the seven inches of the giant snake. The frost arrows entered the snake’s body, and the giant snake suddenly released Kate. Its entire body fell to the ground with a feeling of powerlessness.

Audrey took advantage of her victory to pursue the attack. She raised her long sword, which was emitting a cold light, high above her head. “Extermination slash!”

With a slash of her sword, the giant snake’s body was already torn into pieces. The giant snake let out a loud roar, and after spitting out some things, it collapsed to the ground.

Audrey and Kate heaved a sigh of relief. Audrey stretched out her hand and pulled Kate up from the side.

“Are you alright?” Kate immediately cared about Audrey. After all, it was all thanks to Audrey just now.

“I’m fine. You’re not injured, are you?” Audrey asked softly.

Kate smiled and shook her head. “Of course not.” Kate was overjoyed to receive Audrey’s concern.

“That’s good.” Audrey nodded gently. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the thing that was spat out of the giant snake’s mouth. It seemed somewhat familiar.

Audrey walked forward and picked it up. She washed it with ice and snow before she could clearly read the words on it.

It was Klein’s token?

Audrey’s expression tensed up. Why was Klein’s token in the giant snake’s stomach? Could it be that Klein has already…

Audrey did not dare to think further.

“Isn’t this Klein’s token?” Beside her, Kate also noticed that something was amiss. He took the token and observed it carefully for a moment before saying with certainty, “This is Klein’s token. I’ve seen it before.”

“It’s indeed his,” Audrey said with a solemn expression.

“But didn’t this thing spit out from the giant snake’s stomach? What about Klein? could he have already been eaten by the giant snake?” Kate’s face was filled with terror. He was just about to go forward and cut open the giant snake’s stomach.

Audrey immediately stopped him and comforted him, “I don’t think so. If the giant snake had eaten Klein, it wouldn’t have such a flat stomach. Therefore, Klein should be somewhere else. If we can find out where the giant snake came from, we might be able to find Klein.”

Audrey analyzed carefully, her blue eyes emitting a sharp light.

“That makes sense. Let’s go quickly.” Kate could not wait to find Klein, afraid that he would be in any danger.

Audrey vaguely remembered that the giant snake had come from the west. Moreover, it had crawled all the way. There should be traces on the ground, so the two followed the traces to the west.

After a long while, the traces of the giant snake’s movement suddenly disappeared. The scene in front of them was barren. There was not a single tree. There was only a cave.

“Where is this place? Why isn’t there even a tree?”

“If I’m not mistaken, this should be the giant snake’s nest. Its saliva is poisonous, which is why there isn’t any vegetation here,” Audrey said after thinking for a moment.

After hearing her words, Kate suddenly understood. The cave was pitch-black, as though nothing could be seen. It made people nervous.

Audrey immediately conjured a ball of fire to illuminate the cave.

The cave was very cool and humid, and there was a strange smell that was similar to the giant snake’s body. This made Audrey even more certain that this was the nest of the giant snake.

“Will Klein be here?” The deeper he went, the more nervous Kate became. On the other hand, Audrey appeared very calm.

“Perhaps he is.”

As Audrey spoke, she quickened her pace. The cave’s aura was really strange, and she did not want to stay any longer.

After walking for a while, the cave suddenly became narrow. They could only pass through one person at a time. Audrey took the lead and walked forward, with Kate following closely behind.

“What is this sticky liquid on the wall? It’s disgusting,” Kate complained in a low voice.

“It’s probably the secretion of a giant snake,” Audrey answered, thinking to herself. Fortunately, the secretion was not poisonous. Otherwise, it would not be easy to pass through.
