The Genius Mage-Chapter 401 - The River Water Is Poisonous

In the middle of the Crescent River Valley, there was a river that flowed endlessly. The river water seemed to be so deep that one could not see the end of it.

The few of them had spent a few days in the forest. It had been a long time since they had washed properly. When they saw the river water, they were pleasantly surprised.

“The water looks clean,” Klein said with a chuckle. He walked forward and extended his hand into the water. After washing himself properly, he turned around and said, “Come quickly. The water isn’t only clean, it’s also very cool.”

Hearing that, Audrey and the others were about to walk over when Kate noticed that Klein’s hand was slowly turning dark purple. His expression changed and he immediately exclaimed, “Klein, your hand…”

Klein, who was smiling, lowered his head. His smile froze as he looked at his hands in disbelief. He was puzzled and shocked.

It’s poisonous!

Audrey immediately reacted and immediately pulled Klein back. Then, she took out a bottle of potion and poured it into his hands.

His hands, which were gradually turning black and purple, slowly stopped. However, his skin, which had turned black and purple, did npt change back. This couldn’t help but make Klein feel uneasy.

“How…how did this happen?” He asked in disbelief.

Audrey frowned and looked at the river water with a complicated expression. “It’s probably poisonous. It will be contaminated if you touch it. Although I’m fine now, the poison will gradually enter my body over time. That would be troublesome.”

“Then, wouldn’t I have already been poisoned?” Klein looked flustered as he said nervously.

Audrey nodded and looked at Klein with a frown. “But I’ve temporarily delayed the spread of the poison. Now, all you need to do is to expel the poison from your hand.”

With that, Audrey took out a row of silver needles from her pocket. She looked up at Klein with a comforting look before carefully inserting the silver needles into Klein’s hand one by one.

The purplish-black poison was gradually forced out, and Klein’s skin slowly returned to its normal color.

Finally, Audrey washed him with clean water again before she felt relieved.

The poison that had been cleaned fell on the plants on the ground, causing them to wither instantly. They could not help but feel a chill in their hearts. If they were poisoned, what a terrible outcome it would be.

However, with this incident, they understood that even though the things here looked beautiful or clean, they were not to be touched. No wonder someone said that no one could leave Crescent River Valley alive after entering.

There were too many hidden dangers here.

“There might be many poisonous things here. It’s dangerous everywhere. Everyone, be careful and don’t touch anything,” Audrey warned sternly.

“That’s right. You have to be careful here,” Morris echoed.

The Crescent River Valley was very long. They were only in the middle of the Crescent River Valley. It was not easy to find the flower of the cliff here.

It was not easy to find the location, let alone pick it.

Facing the vast Crescent River Valley, they were instantly lost. They did not know where to start.

“Where exactly does the cliff flower grow?”

“It’s not recorded in the book,” Audrey answered. There was a deeper meaning in her lowered eyes as if she was thinking.

Her words made them fall into silence. They began to seriously think about the cliff flower. Their time was limited, so they had to find it as soon as possible.

The Crescent River Valley was extremely quiet. There were only the occasional chirping of birds, which made it seem extremely desolate in the Crescent River Valley.

Audrey and the others found a relatively safe place and sat down to rest while they pondered over the matter of the cliff flower. At this moment, a strange aura suddenly came. Almost subconsciously, Morris looked at Audrey.

Audrey and Morris looked at each other. Their expressions tensed as they vigilantly looked around them. There did not seem to be any movement. However, in the next second, a gray wolf leaped down from the sky and appeared in front of Audrey and the others.

The gray wolf’s eyes were blue-green in color. It stood on all fours and stared fiercely at Audrey and the others as it howled.

It was a wolf! Klein secretly broke out in a cold sweat.

“Wolves live in packs. It might not be the only one.” By the side, Morris’ expression turned even uglier. When he said this, he felt a faint sense of unease.

Audrey had the same thought. Just like the wolves they encountered on the isolated island, they lived in packs.

It was strange that only one ash wolf had appeared.

Audrey and the others stood where they were, not daring to act rashly. Similarly, the ash wolf was the same. It stared at them covetously, but it did not attack for a long time.

After a moment of stalemate, the ash wolf let out a few howls, narrowed its fierce eyes, and suddenly charged forward.

“Fire Phoenix!” Audrey took half a step back and summoned the Fire Phoenix. It was time for it to train properly. Following her, it could not just become a mount for her.

In an instant, the Fire Phoenix leaped out. The moment the Fiery-red Phoenix body appeared, the ash wolf was stunned for a moment. Its attack was somewhat hesitant.

The Fire Phoenix attacked with a few fireballs. The ash wolf continuously dodged and seized the opportunity to charge forward, wanting to bite the Fire Phoenix’s body.

However, the Fire Phoenix only flipped over and escaped the ash wolf’s bloody mouth.

The repeated attacks were fruitless, and the wolf became even more furious. It kept rubbing its claws on the spot, letting out a low roar. It narrowed its eyes as if sizing up the Fire Phoenix, and then rushed forward. However, the one attacking was not the fire Phoenix, but Kate, who was closest to the Fire Phoenix.
