Chapter 280 - The Misty Forest

Chapter 280: The Misty Forest

After entering the otherworldly realm, Audrey was surprised to find that the herbs she had planted the last time had grown. They were even more robust than before. It was truly a joyous thing.

At this moment, Audrey did not have the time to study them. She went straight to the hot spring and filled it with some spring water. Then, she came out.

She separated the hot spring water and placed one portion into a potion bottle. She planned to give it to Kate to drink, and the other portion into a bottle. She planned to wash Kate’s wound.

Hot spring water also had healing effects on wounds.

However, Audrey did not plan to use too much. If his wound healed in an instant, it would definitely arouse suspicion.

“Audrey, what did you go in for?”

Audrey chuckled and explained calmly, “Nothing much. I just remembered that there were a few bottles of potion left in the tent. I went to get them.”

Although he did not know why the potion was not in her spatial pocket, Klein did not ask any further.

“Drink this bottle. It’s very helpful to your wound.” Audrey handed it to Kate, then tore off his sleeve that had been bitten by the wolf and poured the hot spring water on the wound.

A cool feeling entered the wound. The dirt on the wound miraculously washed away. The wound, which was still clearly visible, was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After using up the hot spring water, the wound had mostly healed. Audrey planned to let Kate recuperate slowly on her own.

“What kind of potion is this? It’s too magical.” Kate and Klein were both very surprised. They scrambled to take the hot spring water to examine it, but the bottle was just an ordinary transparent bottle.

“It’s my latest research. I thought it wouldn’t be of much use, but I didn’t expect it to be successful.” Audrey casually gave a reason with a faint smile at the corner of her mouth.

“This is too amazing. I’ll definitely buy more from you in the future,” Kate said.

“If you need it, I’ll give you more,” Audrey snorted and teased, “However, I hope you’ll never need it.”

In short, she hoped that he would never get hurt.

Kate was warmed by Audrey’s words. “Audrey, thank you.”

“There’s no need to say that.”

After settling Kate’s matter, the three of them sat back down beside the fireball.

“Although the environment of the isolated island has changed, we can’t just sit and wait for death. We still have to take the initiative and continue to complete our mission,” Audrey said meaningfully, “it’s not safe to sit and wait for death. If we don’t move, they will attack us too.”

“You’re right. We can’t just sit and wait for death,” Klein agreed. He then raised his doubts. “But where should we go?”

The place where the three of them were at had a total of three forks. If they took the wrong step, they would end up in a bottomless abyss.

Audrey could not decide for a moment. After hesitating for a long time, she could only say, “Then we can only depend on luck.” With that said, she released a wisp of battle Qi and randomly danced in the air. Finally, it landed on a tree on the right.

“Then let’s go to the right.”

The three of them set off and walked to the right.

The further they went, the more it seemed like they had entered the depths of the forest. The trees were denser and the fog was thick. Even if there was a ball of fire, they could not look down on the road in front of them. They could only fumble around in the air.

“Everyone, grab onto each other tightly. Don’t get lost.” Audrey suggested, taking the initiative to grab Kate by the side.

Kate grabbed Klein, who was beside her.

In the air, the fog became denser and denser, with a strange smell mixed in. Audrey frowned, feeling even more uneasy.

“Do you smell anything strange?” She asked, looking particularly gloomy in the silent forest.

“I think so,” Kate said softly.

Klein was the only one who did not speak for a long time. Audrey could not help but wonder why the usually cheerful Klein did not make a sound?

“Klein?” Audrey asked tentatively, drawing the ball of fire over. When she saw Klein, Audrey was shocked.

Klein’s face was pale, and his eyes were lifeless, like a puppet.

“What’s wrong with him?” Kate also found something strange and asked subconsciously.

Audrey’s frown deepened. She did not know what had happened to Klein, but from the looks of it, he seemed to have lost consciousness. Could it be related to the misty forest?

Is it that strange smell?

“There’s something strange about this forest. Be careful. It’s best to hide the scent and inhale less of it,” Audrey immediately said, then continued to call out to Klein.

“Klein, wake up.”

“Klein…”

However, Klein did not respond. What should she do!

Audrey was burning with anxiety. She could not ensure Klein’s safety at all, making her even more uneasy.

“I don’t know what’s wrong with him. Why don’t we rest here and think of a way?” Audrey said. Kate agreed and immediately set up the tent.

“He should be tired, right? You go and rest first. We’ll take turns.”

“Can you do it?” Kate asked worriedly. Now that Klein was busy and only the two of them were left, he felt a little uneasy.

Audrey nodded. She had to guard Klein in case anything happened. Only then did Kate walk into the tent hesitantly.

Audrey sat beside the ball of fire and asked Klein to stay by the side. Klein did not rest and continued to sit like a puppet. During this time, Audrey had used magic or combat aura to summon him, but it was useless.
