Chapter 118: News

Audrey stood where she was and listened to the faint sounds around her. Her eyes were frighteningly cold.

The aura that she was exuding was like the soul-stirring gra.s.s that grew on ice. It made people subconsciously feel a little afraid.

“Audrey, what should we do now? It would be very dangerous if Hera is out there alone…” Jill’s tone was very worried.

Audrey shook her head. “There’s nothing we can do. We can only slowly search for her now.”

The nature of their teleportation was very obvious. It was random teleportation into a large area. It was up to the heavens to decide where they would end up.

Moreover, the area of this forest was extremely large. Even if they were to search for her, they would not be able to find her in a short period of time.

However, there were still some benefits.

Audrey stretched out her hand and felt the elements around her. They were denser than what she had felt when she first came to this world. If she were to focus on her cultivation in such an environment, she might be able to level up again in no time.

Sigh, there’s really no other way. She wondered what was going on. Such an accident actually happened in such an important selection. Kate sighed.

Just as everyone was at a loss, Morris suddenly looked up into the sky.

He was very sensitive to all the auras in the vicinity. He could sense that somewhere in the peaceful forest, there seemed to be a sudden commotion.

And the direction he was looking at had gradually turned dark gray. Groups of birds fluttered past their heads as if they were avoiding something terrifying.

Morris walked toward the three of them. “Everyone, be careful. The forest isn’t too peaceful right now.”

Everyone nodded, paying more attention to the situation around them.

After losing Hera, Audrey had changed her goal from s.n.a.t.c.hing the token to finding Hera. After all, in her opinion, teammates were still the most important.

However, the progress was clearly not as smooth as she had imagined.

They had not gone far when they b.u.mped into a small team. The few people in the team looked very unfamiliar, and they did not seem like they were from the five great families.

“Oh, I didn’t expect our luck to be quite good. We actually ran into a team of n.o.ble young masters as soon as we arrived.” The leader curled the corners of his mouth.

“In that case, I’ll have to trouble you to hand over your tokens. We have no intention of making things difficult for you.”

Kate had already raised the weapon in his hand. As long as the other party dared to make a move against Audrey, he would charge forward without hesitation!

“I think we can have a good chat,” Audrey suggested.

Lucas sneered, “What’s there to talk about? You have to know that this is the trial of the Templar Knights. We are all enemies here. Who would want to have a good chat with you?”

A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the few people behind him.

Although they were born as commoners and had grown up through thick and thin, in terms of actual combat experience, they were definitely more experienced than these n.o.bles who had grown up with golden spoons in their mouths.

It seemed like they were determined to obtain this token!

In this tense atmosphere, everyone was secretly making preparations, waiting for someone to break the deadlock and turn it into a chaotic battle.

However, they did not expect that the azure-eyed girl in front of them would only raise her hand, and a smooth incantation slowly sounded.

Instantly, leaves filled the sky and ground as they whizzed over. They circled around Lucas and the others, directly enveloping them and not harming Audrey and the others in the slightest.

For a moment, screams sounded throughout the entire forest.

“What’s going on! Quickly let us out.”

“I can’t get out. There’s a wind wall blocking my way!”

“It hurts, it hurts!”

Although the leaves that flew up looked weak, when they spun at an extremely fast speed, they would scratch people’s bodies like blades.

Lucas cursed angrily, “What’s wrong with you? Why didn’t you say a word when you attacked! Is there anyone who fights like this?”

Audrey smiled brightly. “Why would I say anything? It can only be said that your adaptability isn’t good enough.”

Jill looked at the smiling Audrey from the side and shrank to the side. She felt that Audrey was somehow a little scary.

She was actually able to laugh despite the miserable screams coming from their enemies.

By the time the leaves dispersed, the clothes of the five people who were trapped inside were already tattered. It was obvious that there were several b.l.o.o.d.y marks on their faces.

“In that case, can the two of us have a good chat? I just want to ask you something. I’m not interested in the token on your body.” Audrey curled her lips slightly.

Lucas did not want to agree at first, but when he recalled what he had just experienced, he nodded in agreement.

“If you weren’t interested in our token, you could have told us earlier. You didn’t need to make us suffer such pain,” Lucas complained softly.

Morris raised his eyebrows. “Didn’t you guys come looking for trouble first? If it weren’t for you guys, we wouldn’t have taken the initiative to attack.”

Lucas choked on his words. In the end, he could not find a suitable answer and could only swallow his anger.

“Have you seen a girl named Hera? She’s wearing a dark red dress. She’s alone and has no companions,” Audrey asked.

Lucas frowned and pondered for a moment.

“I haven’t seen her, but I overheard her.”
