The Genius Mage

Chapter 285: The Center of the Forest

No wonder they had not left even after walking for such a long time.

“Let’s walk again.” Audrey immediately made a mark on the tree next to them and continued to walk forward as she had done earlier.

Sure enough, after walking for a distance, the three of them saw the mark they had just left behind.

“We’re indeed walking in circles on the spot,” Klein said with a frown. He also realized the seriousness of the situation. If they continued to walk in circles, they would die here.

“What should we do?” Kate suddenly felt a headache.

Audrey’s expression was also very serious. After walking for so long, she had only realized that they were going in circles. It was clear that the person who had set up this maze was also a powerful character.

However, she did not know why they were trapped here.

“Why don’t we burn this place down?” Klein said somewhat angrily.

“No.” Audrey immediately stopped him. “The trees here aren’t afraid of fire. Doing so will only bring us danger.”

“Since it’s a maze, there must be a way out. Let’s look for other exits nearby,” Audrey said calmly after thinking for a moment. She led the two of them to search nearby.

The trees were lush and dense. There was fog everywhere. They could not see anything more than a meter away. It was naturally very difficult to find anything. The three of them tossed and turned, but they did not have any leads.

“It’s as if this place is sealed off. It’s isolated from the outside world. There’s no way out,” Kate said dejectedly, his mood slightly depressed.

“We definitely have a way out,” Audrey encouraged the two of them, but in fact, she was not sure either. In such a situation, it was really difficult to get out.

Therefore, Audrey thought of Meatball and promptly asked him about it.

However, the result was the same. Meatball had no choice but to say something useful. “This maze can change. It must have been set up for you on purpose. It seems like you’ll be in danger.”

On purpose? Who could have done that?

Audrey pondered seriously. If that was the case, perhaps there would be a solution by forcing the culprit out.

“Come out! Why are you trapping us here?” Audrey did not care about the two of them. She shouted directly, appearing unusually cold in the forest.

Even Kate and Klein were startled as they looked at Audrey in surprise.

“Audrey, what are you doing?” Klein asked in puzzlement.

Audrey glanced at him but did not answer. She paid full attention to her surroundings. At this moment, a cane whip suddenly appeared from behind her, charging at Audrey at lightning speed.

Audrey reacted quickly and turned around to slash down with her sword.

A portion of the cane whip was broken and a thick green liquid flowed out. However, it quickly repaired itself and attacked Audrey again.

Audrey dealt with the cane whip while shouting, “Take out a few cane whips to fool me. If you have the ability, come out and fight me!”

Kate and Klein seemed to understand what Audrey meant.

As soon as she said that, there was still no movement in the forest except for the cane whips. However, there were suddenly more cane whips. Dozens of cane whips appeared at the same time as if they were casting an inescapable net.

“Audrey! Be careful!”

Just as Audrey was fighting with a thick cane whip, another cane whip appeared behind her. At that moment, Klein suddenly stepped forward and slashed at her with his sword. “Wind shock slash!”

The cane whip was cut off, and Audrey dodged it.

However, before they could even catch their breath, they heard Kate’s shout, “Ah!”

When they looked over, Kate had already been wrapped up by a few cane whips. Then, the cane whip moved at a rapid speed and disappeared into the night. Kate’s voice became softer and softer.

Audrey’s expression tensed up as she hurriedly chased after them. She could not just watch as Kate was dragged away. That would be dangerous.

“Audrey, Kate!” Klein followed Audrey’s footsteps closely.

The cane whips were extremely fast. Audrey had to use all her strength to barely catch up. After running for a while, she saw a huge tree. There was a hole in the tree, and the rattan whips were coming out from it.

As for Kate, she was being pulled into the hole by the vine whip.

“Frost art!” Audrey stepped forward and drew a circle in the air with her hands. Snow fell, and the frost ice wrapped the longsword as it slashed fiercely at the vine whip.

A few vine whips fell to the ground, and Kate also fell.

“Are you alright?” Audrey helped him up and asked.

“No, it’s all thanks to you,” Kate said with a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Klein caught up with them and looked at them, panting. “It’s good that you’re alright.”

After a storm, the three of them arrived at a completely unfamiliar place. It seemed like they had not been here since they came to the misty forest. It was more like empty space with very few trees around. There was only a towering tree in the center.

Was this tree the ruler of this misty forest?

Audrey made a bold guess. She was actually a little curious about what was in the tree hole.

“What is this place?”

“It’s probably the center of the Misty Forest,” Audrey replied. She looked around with the light of the fireball.

Kate and Klein were the same.
