The Genius Mage

“Now, take me to find the others.” Audrey reached out and touched the Fire Phoenix’s head. There was a hint of kindness in her eyes, but her tone was very firm.

The Fire Phoenix responded and took the initiative to land beside Audrey, letting her get onto its body.

Audrey hesitated for a moment. She gave the fire phoenix a grateful glance and sat on it.

In the next second, the Fire Phoenix rose into the air and flew directly above the forest. Audrey could not help but smile. From now on, the Fire Phoenix would be her closest companion.

It was not just a spirit beast.

Flying above the forest, Audrey lowered her head to look for her teammates. Fortunately, she could still see clearly on the ground. After flying for a while, Audrey saw a familiar figure fighting with two black-clothed men.

Audrey’s eyes tensed, and she hurriedly sent the Fire Phoenix over.

The Fire Phoenix immediately descended. Coincidentally, the black-clothed men were attacking Morris, so the Fire Phoenix directly rushed over, knocking the two black-clothed men to the ground. It then quickly spat out two fireballs, pressing straight at the two men.

The black-clothed man’s expression changed drastically. He nervously looked at the situation in front of him, and simply fled.

Firephoenix wanted to chase after him, but she was stopped by Audrey. “Let’s take a look at Morris first.”

Audrey leaped down and landed beside Morris. She held Morris, who was slightly injured, and asked anxiously, “How is he?”

“He’s fine. Just the two of them can’t hurt me. If you guys don’t come, I’ll definitely finish them off,” Morris said half-jokingly. Although there was a hint of bravado in his tone, Audrey checked and found that Morris was indeed not injured, she was relieved.

“Forget it. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future,” Audrey said with a chuckle.

Morris nodded and immediately asked about the matter of finding Klein.

“We haven’t found him yet, but the most important thing now is to find everyone. You weren’t the only one who was attacked just now. Every single one of us was attacked. I’m worried that something will happen to them,” Audrey said with a slight frown, after all, Klein and the others were not as strong as Morris.

If they were to encounter someone stronger, they would definitely be difficult to deal with.

“Alright, I’ll go with you.” Morris immediately perked up when he heard that. He also noticed the Fire Phoenix that had been staying behind Audrey the entire time. He asked curiously, “When did you get another one?”

“Before, but it hasn’t stayed by my side,” Audrey explained casually. She brought Morris to sit on the Fire Phoenix and continued to search for other companions in the forest.

After a while, Audrey finally found Hobart, Adrian, and Cole. Fortunately, the three of them were not seriously injured, so Audrey heaved a sigh of relief.

“Haven’t you found Klein yet?” Adrian asked with a heavy tone. They had just entered the forest when they were attacked. Perhaps Klein’s situation was even more dangerous than theirs.

Audrey and the others shook their heads.

“Continue searching, but we can’t split up again,” Audrey said with a complicated look in her eyes.

Just now, she and the Fire Phoenix had looked through the forest and easily found the others. However, they had not found Klein.

Fortunately, the Fire Phoenix’s ability was strong enough. Even if they were sitting on it, the Fire Phoenix could still fly freely and lead them to search the forest.

On the other side, Klein and Xavier were in a stalemate.

“You’re no match for me. It’s meaningless to struggle like this,” Xavier sneered and said disdainfully.

Klein’s eyes deepened and his face was solemn.

After fighting with Xavier, his body was already injured. There was a difference in strength between him and Xavier, so it was not easy for him to hold on for so long.

However, he could not lose. If he lost, it would be a slap to the face of the Dragon Slaying Squad.

“I won’t lose.” Klein straightened his body and said sternly, “Just bring it on.”

As soon as his voice fell, Klein’s eyes suddenly turned sharp, and a powerful battle spirit wrapped around him. Klein gripped his long sword tightly and rushed toward Xavier.

“Extermination slash!” He shouted sternly as his sword slashed down.

Xavier was not afraid. He faced Klein directly. Both sides were in a stalemate. As a member of the Pharmacy Academy, Klein’s aura was naturally not as strong as Xavier’s.

Fortunately, he still had some potions on him before he came out.

Klein snorted coldly in his heart. He secretly took out a bottle of potion and threw it in front of Xavier’s eyes with a wave of his hand.

Audrey had taught him how to refine this potion. It could make Xavier lose a part of his strength in a short period of time, making his entire body go limp.

“What did you do?” Feeling the changes in his body, Xavier’s expression instantly changed as he roared angrily.

“It was just a small trick,” Klein replied coldly. He looked down at Xavier and gathered a surge of combat aura in his hand, charging straight at Xavier.

Xavier, who was now weak all over, could not react at all. He took a blow head-on and spat out blood.

The effects of the potion did not last long. Just as Klein was about to finish Xavier off quickly, he thought of the matter Audrey was investigating, so he simply tied Xavier up and planned to bring him back for Audrey’s interrogation.
