The Genius Mage Chapter 308 - Taotie

Chapter 308: Taotie

The few of them took turns keeping vigil. After entering the tent, Audrey flashed and went to the otherworldly realm. The moment she entered, she saw Meatball lying lazily on a reclining chair that she had brought into the otherworldly realm to rest on.
She did not expect this little fellow to know how to enjoy himself.
“Meatball.” Audrey’s lips curled into a smile as she called out teasingly.
Meatball jolted awake and glared at Audrey indignantly. He pouted his little face and said, “How many times have I told you not to call me Meatball!”
“You’re so cute. If you don’t call me Meatball, what should I call you?” Audrey snorted and retorted righteously.
Meatball was instantly rendered speechless. He really did not know whether Audrey was praising him for his cuteness or calling him fat. He snorted coldly and simply ignored Audrey. He lay down and continued to sleep.
Audrey smiled and did not say much. She had come here to practice.
Audrey picked up the book again and practiced according to the moves in it. During this period of practice, she felt that she had made great progress. The energy in her body had increased a lot, making Audrey want to become stronger as soon as possible.
By then, she would no longer have to fear anyone or any force.
“You practice here every day. You’ve made great progress,” Meatball said meaningfully as he walked behind Audrey.
“Thank you for the compliment. You should practice hard too,” Audrey said with a smile.
At first, Meatball did not understand what Audrey meant. Later, when he saw Audrey constantly sizing him up with her eyes, he suddenly realized that Audrey was calling him fat.
“Hmph, I’m lucky,” Meatball said proudly.
Audrey smiled and did not say anything more. She continued practicing.
In the blink of an eye, it was almost dawn. Audrey walked out of the hot spring and stretched before returning to her tent to rest.
When the sky was completely bright, the few of them had rested well. They looked much better than yesterday.
“Drink some nectar in the morning.” Audrey handed over a few small bottles of hot spring water from the otherworldly realm. She just wanted them to recuperate better.
“This water is so sweet. Where did it come from?” Cole took a sip and asked.
Audrey was stunned for a moment. A strange look flashed in her eyes as she explained casually, “It’s just dew from the forest. I’ve just done some processing. Don’t worry about it.”
“You’re really thoughtful. This water is sweet and delicious,” Hobart could not help but praise Audrey, a faint smile on his lips.
When they were ready, they continued to set off.
“We’ve been searching for a day. where is this glutton?” Klein said helplessly. If they could not find it in three days, then their trip would have been in vain.
Audrey was also slightly anxious.
She did not want to waste too much time here. Moreover, the more energy she spent searching, the more they would suffer if they fought the Taotie.
“Give me some time to search carefully.” After thinking for a moment, Audrey calmed down and said calmly.
“Okay, Audrey. Just try your best.” Kate nodded and said with concern.
The others also looked at Audrey, feeling anxious and nervous.
With her current ability, it was very difficult for her to sense the aura of Taotie. Audrey could only rely on the power of the Snow Goddess.
“Great Snow Goddess, please grant me a powerful perception ability.” As she chanted, Audrey slowly closed her eyes, calmed her heart, and sensed the slightest movement in her surroundings.
Five hundred meters away, there was a demonic beast, but it did not have much offensive power.
A kilometer away, there was the sound of running water.
…
Audrey carefully checked every place. Suddenly, a powerful force shook her heart. Audrey almost could not bear it. Fortunately, she had used the power of the Snow Goddess many times, so she had experience.
That force was probably the Taotie.
It was… one kilometer to the west.
Audrey confirmed it again before opening her eyes. A hint of joy flashed in her eyes. She smiled and said, “I know where the Taotie is. One kilometer to the west.”
It was so accurate! They were all shocked.
It was not easy for ordinary people to sense the existence of the Taotie. Audrey had actually found such an accurate location out of thin air. It showed how powerful her perception was.
“Alright, let’s go.” Seeing that they were slightly stunned, Audrey said.
“Alright!”
“Mmhmm!” The few of them replied and braced themselves as they headed due west.
A kilometer was neither too far nor too close. The six of them walked for more than half an hour before Audrey finally sensed a dangerous aura. It was from the Taotie.
“It’s around here,” Audrey said with certainty. She became more cautious. Her blue eyes flashed with some uneasiness, but she quickly calmed down.
In an empty space, there was a huge monster.
It had a huge body and a fierce face.
Suddenly, he seemed to sense it. His eyes widened, and in the next second, he stood up and ran out. The ground within a few hundred meters trembled slightly.
Audrey’s face tensed up. It seemed like it had already arrived.
She snorted coldly in her heart. While she was thinking, she could already vaguely see the figure in front of her. Audrey’s eyes suddenly tightened, and she stared at Taotie with determination and sharpness.
“Roar!” Before Taotie had reached them, it had already let out an angry roar. The small beasts on the surrounding trees fled in all directions.
“So this is Taotie.”
