Chapter 407: Take Them Away

The terrain here was dangerous. If they split up and lost contact, it would be even more difficult to find them than finding Crescent River Valley.

“We can take care of each other if we stay together,” Audrey explained.

“Alright.” Morris nodded and did not continue talking about it.

The deeper they went into the forest, the weaker the light became. The dense foliage made it difficult for even the midday sunlight to penetrate through. Audrey summoned the Phoenix.

It would be easier to find the Fire Phoenix if she brought them to the sky to look at the terrain.

The few of them climbed onto the Fire Phoenix’s back. With Audrey’s order, the Fire Phoenix flew into the sky. After passing through the thick forest, they finally reached the sky above the river valley. However, reality had dealt them a heavy blow.

The sky above the river valley and even the forest was shrouded in a haze. Even in the sky, it was almost impossible to tell what was happening below.

“It’s…it’s really impossible to tell what’s happening below.” Klein blinked his eyes, trying to see what was happening, but it was useless.

“Let’s go back,” Audrey said as she touched the back of the Phoenix’s neck.

They had returned to the starting point of the forest. After getting off the Phoenix’s back and looking at the towering trees around them, Audrey smiled bitterly and said, “Looks like we’ll have to rely on ourselves.”

Unlike the forest in the city, the plants here were dense and humid. In the early morning and evening, there was a distinct fog in the forest. Audrey and the others formed a long line and explored forward.

After walking for about half an hour, Audrey, who was walking at the back, suddenly stopped. Morris, who was in front, also stopped.

“What’s wrong? What happened?” Morris asked hurriedly when he saw her nervous expression.

Audrey did not say anything. She just extended her hand to signal for everyone to keep quiet.

She turned her head to look behind her as she scrutinized the large forest behind her. She had clearly heard footsteps just now. There were people following behind them. Could it be the men from the beginning?

“Come out, I can see you all,” Audrey shouted as she looked at the gloomy forest behind her.

Although they did not understand what she was doing, Morris and the others watched quietly. They knew that Audrey must have her own reasons for doing so.

There was no movement.

Audrey snorted coldly and said, “Since you’re not coming out, don’t blame me for being rude.”

As she said that, she reached out and grabbed the hilt of her sword. With each pull, the sound of a sharp weapon could be heard in the quiet forest.

The next second, a rustling sound could be heard. A few men walked out from the bushes with their heads lowered.

Heh, it really is them.

A mocking smile flashed across Audrey’s face. She had always looked down on such sneaky people.

“Why are you here? What are you doing following us?!” Thinking of how the group of people had fooled them, Kate pointed at them and shouted angrily.

The few of them took a few steps forward, glanced at Audrey and the others, and knelt down with a thud, she said, “I know that you are all-powerful people. We have nowhere else to go. Please have pity on us and bring us along.”

The man’s eyes were filled with tears. The few men who had reached out their hands also kowtowed to the ground.

This sudden kowtow stunned Audrey and the others. They were all people who would not listen to force, and the person in front of them was a fellow countryman from Spark City.

“All of you, get up first. If there’s anything, we can talk about it,” Audrey said with a gentler expression.

These few people did not have any fighting spirit. They must have come here because they had no other choice.

“Please do us a favor. We were muddle-headed in the past. We’ve been wandering around this area for a long time. If this continues, we probably won’t be able to live for long,” the man in the lead explained.

They had come to search for the flower of the cliff long before Audrey did. However, even after such a long time, they still did not find anything. As people who were powerless, it was already a miracle that they could live for so long.

“Have you been following us all this while?” Audrey looked at them sharply.

In fact, after they had finished talking to Claude last night, she had sensed something strange. However, at that time, she had just been a wild beast in the forest, so she had not paid much attention to it.

Now, it seemed that it was these few people.

The man’s expression changed again and again, but in the end, he still nodded.

When he was about to finish off Audrey and the others with his flute yesterday, he realized that their combat aura was extraordinary. They had no way of contending against them with just the flute in their hands.

Thus, he had no choice but to leave dejectedly.

After that, he planned to follow behind Audrey and the others. As long as he followed them, he would definitely be able to find the location of the cliff flower. However, the man did not expect to be discovered so quickly.

“Why do we have to bring you along?” Audrey asked.

The man was momentarily at a loss for words. After a long while, he said, “Consider it as us begging you. If we don’t follow you, we’ll definitely die in this forest.”

Audrey did not say anything. She glanced at the others.

They were all people from Mars City. Naturally, she did not want to see them die here.

“Let them follow.” In the end, it was Morris who made the decision.

Audrey nodded as well.

Seeing that they had agreed, the man smiled happily and kowtowed repeatedly to Audrey and the others.
