Chapter 274 - Defeating the Giant Snake
The Genius Mage
Audrey was like a mummy. She was wrapped up by the giant snake and only her head was exposed. Her breathing was also somewhat difficult because she was entangled by the giant snake, so Audrey was unable to use her battle technique.
âGale slash!â Kate mobilized the wind elements around him and hacked at the giant snakeâs body at lightning speed.
The giant snake wanted to dodge, so it could only release Audrey. However, it did not let go immediately. Instead, it swung its body and threw Audrey a few meters away.
Following that, the giant snakeâs gaze fell on Kate. It opened its bloody mouth and pounced at Kate.
âEarth-shattering slash!â Kate hurriedly used a level 1 battle technique. A crack quickly appeared on the floor, and half of the giant snakeâs body fell down.
Seeing this, Kate was delighted. Just as he was about to use another battle technique to destroy the giant snake, the giant snakeâs body suddenly grew larger. It directly opened up the floor, and the giant snakeâs body rose into the air and quickly wrapped itself around Kate.
âShatter!â The battle technique Kate used was useless. It was completely useless.
âKate, hold on!â Not far away, Audreyâs brows were tightly knitted. She was slightly worried, but she could use this opportunity to deal with the giant snake better.
In a flash, Audrey arrived beside the giant snake. She found the seven inches of the giant snake and chanted, âGreat Goddess of ice and snow, please bestow me with divine power!â
âFrost arrows!â In Audreyâs hands, countless sharp arrowheads appeared and struck the seven inches of the giant snake. The frost arrows entered the snakeâs body, and the giant snake suddenly released Kate. Its entire body fell to the ground with a feeling of powerlessness.
Audrey took advantage of her victory to pursue the attack. She raised her long sword, which was emitting a cold light, high above her head. âExtermination slash!â
With a slash of her sword, the giant snakeâs body was already torn into pieces. The giant snake let out a loud roar, and after spitting out some things, it collapsed to the ground.
Audrey and Kate heaved a sigh of relief. Audrey stretched out her hand and pulled Kate up from the side.
âAre you alright?â Kate immediately cared about Audrey. After all, it was all thanks to Audrey just now.
âIâm fine. Youâre not injured, are you?â Audrey asked softly.
Kate smiled and shook her head. âOf course not.â Kate was overjoyed to receive Audreyâs concern.
âThatâs good.â Audrey nodded gently. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the thing that was spat out of the giant snakeâs mouth. It seemed somewhat familiar.
Audrey walked forward and picked it up. She washed it with ice and snow before she could clearly read the words on it.
It was Kleinâs token?
Audreyâs expression tensed up. Why was Kleinâs token in the giant snakeâs stomach? Could it be that Klein has alreadyâ¦
Audrey did not dare to think further.
âIsnât this Kleinâs token?â Beside her, Kate also noticed that something was amiss. He took the token and observed it carefully for a moment before saying with certainty, âThis is Kleinâs token. Iâve seen it before.â
âItâs indeed his,â Audrey said with a solemn expression.
âBut didnât this thing spit out from the giant snakeâs stomach? What about Klein? could he have already been eaten by the giant snake?â Kateâs face was filled with terror. He was just about to go forward and cut open the giant snakeâs stomach.
Audrey immediately stopped him and comforted him, âI donât think so. If the giant snake had eaten Klein, it wouldnât have such a flat stomach. Therefore, Klein should be somewhere else. If we can find out where the giant snake came from, we might be able to find Klein.â
Audrey analyzed carefully, her blue eyes emitting a sharp light.
âThat makes sense. Letâs go quickly.â Kate could not wait to find Klein, afraid that he would be in any danger.
Audrey vaguely remembered that the giant snake had come from the west. Moreover, it had crawled all the way. There should be traces on the ground, so the two followed the traces to the west.
After a long while, the traces of the giant snakeâs movement suddenly disappeared. The scene in front of them was barren. There was not a single tree. There was only a cave.
âWhere is this place? Why isnât there even a tree?â
âIf Iâm not mistaken, this should be the giant snakeâs nest. Its saliva is poisonous, which is why there isnât any vegetation here,â Audrey said after thinking for a moment.
After hearing her words, Kate suddenly understood. The cave was pitch-black, as though nothing could be seen. It made people nervous.
Audrey immediately conjured a ball of fire to illuminate the cave.
The cave was very cool and humid, and there was a strange smell that was similar to the giant snakeâs body. This made Audrey even more certain that this was the nest of the giant snake.
âWill Klein be here?â The deeper he went, the more nervous Kate became. On the other hand, Audrey appeared very calm.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âPerhaps he is.â
As Audrey spoke, she quickened her pace. The caveâs aura was really strange, and she did not want to stay any longer.
After walking for a while, the cave suddenly became narrow. They could only pass through one person at a time. Audrey took the lead and walked forward, with Kate following closely behind.
âWhat is this sticky liquid on the wall? Itâs disgusting,â Kate complained in a low voice.
âItâs probably the secretion of a giant snake,â Audrey answered, thinking to herself. Fortunately, the secretion was not poisonous. Otherwise, it would not be easy to pass through.
