Chapter 307: Consecutive Victories
Audrey sighed and could only put this matter to the back of her mind for the time being. She turned to look at her teammates. She remembered that Cole and Adrian seemed to have been injured.
“How are your injuries?” Audrey asked softly.
“It’s fine, minor injuries.” Cole smiled and pretended to be indifferent. He did not want to delay the retreat of the team because of some injuries.
Seeing this, Audrey looked at him helplessly. Then, she took out two bottles of high-grade healing potion from her space pocket and handed them over. “Drink it. It’ll heal faster. Don’t forget, we still have to deal with Taotie later. There might be more dangers, so you have to be well.”
Hearing this, Cole felt that it made sense, so he took it.
“Thank you, Audrey.” He chuckled and said embarrassedly, “But it’s a waste to give us this high-grade potion. If we sell it, it’ll cost hundreds of thousands.”
To Audrey, potions were not rare. As long as she wanted to, she could refine as many as she wanted, so she was naturally generous.
However, in order to prevent Cole from feeling like he was losing money, Audrey still joked around. “Then why don’t you pay me half of the money needed for the cost? When we get back, you can treat everyone to a meal at the food street we talked about last time.”
Hearing this, Cole was taken aback, but he immediately smiled and agreed. “Alright!”
He lowered his head, his eyes slightly moved.
“Count me in.” Adrian echoed from the side.
Audrey smiled helplessly. They had already known each other for so long. She did not expect these people to be so polite to her. These potions were nothing.
The few of them chatted and laughed as they ignored this matter and continued forward.
…
“Boss, it’s our incompetence.” Daisy and Xavier lowered their heads like children who had made a mistake. Their faces were filled with self-blame and fear.
The mysterious man glared at the two of them and said angrily, “You are indeed incompetent! You can’t even defeat a few weaklings!”
Daisy was instantly displeased.
Audrey was not a weakling. If it were not for Audrey, they would definitely be able to take care of the others.
Even the boss found it difficult to gain any benefits from Audrey, so what right did she have to say such things about them?
“It’s not our fault. It’s all Audrey’s fault. If it weren’t for her, we would have…” Daisy was furious. Since she could not blame the mysterious man, she could only hold a grudge against Audrey.
“Shut up!” The mysterious man reprimanded coldly. “Forget it this time. If you embarrass me like this again in the future, I’ll definitely make you pay.”
“Yes,” Daisy and Xavier answered in unison and left carefully.
The mysterious man’s expression turned even gloomier as he clenched his fists, emitting a dangerous aura.
On the other side.
Audrey and the others had not gone far when they encountered a new beast. However, this Sky Roc could be said to be very smart. After exchanging a few blows, it knew that it could not beat Audrey and slipped away.
“It’s really smart. It doesn’t want to be an outlaw,” Klein said with a smile.
“Isn’t that for the best,” Hobart replied.
Audrey also felt that it was for the best. She was not willing to kill more beasts, to begin with. If they could just admit defeat and escape, that would be the best.
Unfortunately, some beasts were unwilling to give up until they died.
This was the case with the mutated spider they encountered later.
The spider was very large, covering an area of two to three meters. The silk it spat out was as thick as a finger, and it quickly formed a web.
“Be careful, don’t get entangled by its silk.” Seeing that the silk was extremely sticky, Audrey immediately warned. She also released a fireball to burn the silk that the spider had just spat out.
“I didn’t expect this thing to be so powerful after mutating.” Kate was having a hard time dealing with it.
Audrey snorted disdainfully. No matter how powerful it was, it was just a spider. She had plenty of ways to deal with it. After being in a stalemate for so long, it didn’t seem like it would escape. It was likely that it would not give up until it was dead.
“Rapid-fire bead!” Audrey frowned. Her long sword quickly wrapped around a ball of fire. With every swing, a fire bead shot out. More than ten fire beads rushed toward the spider.
It dodged a few of them, but it could not hide behind them.
When the fire bead touched the spider, it quickly burned up. In an instant, the spider turned into ashes.
“Great, we won again!” Cole immediately cheered. Although they had not found the Taotie yet, they had killed a lot of beasts along the way. They were filled with a sense of accomplishment.
Seeing that the sky was about to turn dark, Audrey simply let everyone rest on the spot.
The few of them quickly set up their tents and built a fire. Everyone gathered around the fire and chatted while discussing their next move.
“Let’s fill our stomachs first.” As she said this, Audrey had already taken out a bag of food and placed it in the middle of the group.
The others also brought some food over and shared it with everyone. It was a joyous and harmonious experience.
“Everyone is tired today. Let’s rest tonight. We’ll continue our search for Taotie tomorrow,” Audrey said seriously after thinking for a moment.
“I think it’ll work,” Adrian agreed.
The others nodded in agreement.
