“Do you still want to eat me? Or rather, what you want to eat is this newly picked immortal herb in my hand…”

Audrey’s eyes were sharp. She saw that the subdued tiger was still staring at her…hand. That was why she had made such a guess.

After all, they were in an environment deep in the forests and mountains. Due to their proximity to the cliff flowers, even the beasts that had cultivated for a hundred years nearby began to possess the spirituality and awareness of humans.

Logically speaking, it should not be. If it was not for the Spirit Beasts that had been cultivating for a long time, it would have taken at least a thousand years, or even tens of thousands of years, to reach the level of human intelligence.

It was obvious that the fierce tiger could understand human language. Audrey was extremely surprised that it had obtained spirituality so easily. Her Fire Phoenix had probably obtained spirituality by chance as well.

Audrey was constantly curious about this cliff flower. Her hands constantly provoked the tiger.

However, the tiger cowered in a corner and refused to get close, as though Audrey would eat it.

It’s time to go back!

Audrey took out a brocade pouch and placed the herbs in it. These were all her little treasures! She did not know how Morris’ body was doing. Without further ado, Audrey prepared to use her luck to rush back.

When she was attacking the tiger, she had used the ice crystals that she had summoned to wrap them around her hands to form a hard armor. However, due to the powerful impact, Audrey’s bones were unable to withstand the overload of energy, despite being healed by magic, she still felt a faint ache.

Just as Audrey was hurrying back, a Phoenix’s cry resounded through the entire valley.

“Fire Phoenix! That’s the sound of the Fire Phoenix! It’s injured!”

The magic on Audrey’s feet immediately stopped working. Hearing the mournful cry of the Fire Phoenix, Audrey knew that something must have happened to it.

It was as if its cry was saying, save me, save me!

Audrey once again passed by where the fierce tiger was. The ice pillar still had not melted. The Tiger’s round eyes immediately narrowed and did not look at her.

She seemed to be in the northwest direction. Audrey used her magic to rush over with all her might. Her breathing had inadvertently become a little chaotic. Suddenly, a feeling of sadness rose in her heart.

She should not have let the Fire Phoenix take the risk. It was clearly just her ride, but Audrey wanted to train its ability. If anything happened to the Fire Phoenix this time, Audrey would not be able to escape the blame.

“How strange. What’s wrong with this mountain today? It’s roaring like a tiger and chirping like a bird. could something have happened to Audrey? Why isn’t she back yet?”

Seeing the sun slowly set in the horizon, no one knew who in the team suddenly said this. Everyone looked at each other in dismay.

There was a small bonfire beside the bonfire. It was using an extremely tough, wide, and thick leaf to make a pot.

There was clear water in the water bag. There were six large bottles of water, and in the water were mushrooms and spices that had been washed and cut. They were steaming and steaming.

Everyone had originally planned to eat the mushroom soup hotpot together when Audrey returned. The ingredients were all prepared, but Audrey was nowhere to be seen.

Morris was also worried. He was still weak, but he had repeatedly requested to find Audrey. However, he had been mercilessly rejected.

“I think it’s time to go out and look for Audrey. It’s going to be night soon. If we gather together, we can still look out for each other. It’s very difficult for a person like Audrey not to encounter the dangerous situation from yesterday!”

After a short silence, he was interrupted by Jinke’s voice. As someone who had been around for so long, he was very familiar with the environment here.

It was obviously disadvantageous to continue to split up. When Audrey returned, would it not be the same if there was no one to support her?

Therefore, it was still not advisable to split up.

“Let’s wait and see! We still have to have hope, or we won’t be able to survive here!”

Everyone could only endure the torment in their hearts and fill their stomachs first. However, the hot pot tasted sweet, and they ate it to their heart’s content.

However, they only ate a few mouthfuls and did not seem to have much of an appetite. This was because their hearts were too anxious.

“Fire Phoenix!”

Audrey only saw a human tent appearing in front of her. It was the same design as the one they had used. They must have bought it from the same place.

Since it was a human, there was no lack of scheming and scheming.

Audrey felt her heart ache when she saw the Fire Phoenix being captured, but she could only endure it.

As the Fire Phoenix was very intelligent, Audrey immediately appeared beside an ancient tree behind the encampment. When she activated her magic to hide her aura, the Fire Phoenix sensed it.

Someone had come to save it.

It did not need to be eaten anymore.

“How are we supposed to eat this stinky bird? Is it that delicious? The fire ropes I specially bought are almost all used up.”

A tall man was using a level 1 battle technique to vent his anger on the Fire Phoenix’s chest. He used his shadowless fist to attack with all his might, leaving a few marks on the Fire Phoenix’s body.

Audrey hid behind a tree and almost ran out like an arrow. She was so angry that she wanted to rip the head off. However, the Fire Phoenix’s inaudible cry was transmitted to her, and it was not the best time to attack.

Only then did Audrey restrain herself from attacking. However, she had to trip him up.

Audrey’s hands moved slightly as she silently chanted an incantation in her heart. She threw out a battle technique, and instantly, the air under the man’s feet condensed into ice.

The man’s fist technique paused for a moment, and he was about to stop. After all, there was no need to waste his strength after a good fight. However, what he did not expect was that the soles of his feet suddenly slipped.

As if stepping on a watermelon peel, a big and burly man immediately dropped his guard and fell into the mud without any warning. He looked as miserable as he could be.

“Haha, what are you doing? Are you kowtowing, Long Liu? Isn’t it a little too early? Haha!”

He heard a few men, about dozens of them with strong bodies, mercilessly laughing at their partners. They did not have any intention of pulling him back at all. They looked cold and indifferent.

“Damn! What the hell is this?”

Long Liu looked at his broken palm and blood immediately flowed out. He cursed his mother in his heart. However, the leader was right in front of him. He was quite happy to say that Long Liu kneeled before Long Jiu.

After all, Long Jiu was the leader of the team. He could not afford to offend him.

It was really strange. Why did the soles of his feet suddenly become so slippery when he was standing in the same place?

Is it that he provoked this ancient beast?
