The Genius Mage - Chapter 420 - Giant Birds
Morris had changed into a brand-new set of clothes, and he looked much more energetic.
“It’s nothing much. It’s just some low-level recovery potions that I’ve refined!”
Audrey scratched her head in embarrassment. She only felt that she had not brought enough. She had thought of refining some yesterday to replenish her companions’ energy on the way.
However, Audrey fell asleep in the middle of the night. When she woke up, the furnace was still burning, so there were about ten bottles. It was enough for the entire team to eat for a few days.
“Are you sure it’s in this direction? Why do I feel that it’s so mysterious? Everyone, look! What’s that in front of us?”
At this moment, the team was in progress. Kate volunteered to walk in front to scout for his teammates. When he saw the strange scene, he immediately took it out to share.

They saw a towering tree blocking their path. The tree was a thousand meters long, and its trunk was completely covered by white clouds. It looked a little terrifying, as though anyone who climbed it would die if they fell down.
After all, this tree was too tall!
Audrey estimated that it would take a year for the tree to spiral up. With a height of tens of thousands of meters, it could be inferred that this place had a history of tens of millions of years.
“The Fire Phoenix flew down from above. It already knows what’s up there and is urging us to go up…it seems like it’s said that this spiral tree staircase doesn’t exist all the time. After a period of time, it will disappear. This is a rare opportunity.”
The Fire Phoenix climbed out of Audrey’s backpack. Its injured wings had yet to recover, and it looked pitiful.
If not for that, the Fire Phoenix would have had the ability to send everyone up.
“I’ve already fed you too many tonics last night. Since you’re injured, you should recuperate well. Don’t think about rushing things. It’s only bad for your injuries.”
While Audrey was lecturing the Fire Phoenix, Morris suddenly shouted in the middle, probably to let everyone see what was wrong with the tree.
That was because just now, at the instant Audrey lowered her head and spoke, the tree was spinning in a fixed direction at a constant speed.
Morris had always been very attentive to the details, so he immediately noticed this abnormal phenomenon.
‘Perhaps this tree is a temporary stopover so that people who need it can go up. However, there is a time limit for this, I’m afraid.’
Audrey frowned and was thinking about how to get everyone up unscathed. Suddenly, Audrey was pleasantly surprised to find a group of giant birds with wings beside the tree.
‘Wasn’t this perfect? I can ride this bird and fly into the sky!’
Audrey was about to rush over to negotiate with these birds when the man reached out to stop her.
It was Jinke.
“If you don’t want to die, it’s best to stay away from that giant bird!”
“You’re right. This is indeed a shortcut to the location of the cliff flower. You only get a chance to see it once every few hundred years!”
Audrey looked at Jinke quietly, but her eyes did not shrink back.
“Compared to missing out on an opportunity, I prefer to fight with all my strength!”
Audrey had nothing to be afraid of. At worst, she could just show off her skills. Sooner or later, no matter how strong or fierce these birds were, they would still be tamed by her!
Seeing Audrey preparing to go to the battlefield with her imposing manner, the others also held their breaths and watched intently. Of course, they were not all spectators. They had already prepared their weapons.
“Wu –”
An eagle’s cry suddenly resounded through the sky. Audrey saw a pair of wings that blotted out the sky like black clouds, pressing down on her head.
Instantly, as the eagle flapped its wings a few times, the strong wind instantly stirred up. Audrey could not avoid it in time, and the rope in her hair broke.
A head of shiny black hair fell smoothly on her shoulders.
“Audrey, be careful!”
Just as Kate, Klein, and Morris had yet to recover from their shock, they could only forcefully circulate their combat aura to resist the attack of the strong wind.
The sand and rocks blinded their eyes, but what made everyone’s heart ache even more was that Audrey had been snatched away by the giant eagle.
Everything had happened so quickly. After a few seconds of the gale, no one had seen Audrey. At the same time, her backpack and the Fire Phoenix had also fallen to the ground.
“Audrey! Don’t let anything happen to you! Damn it! Why didn’t this godforsaken beast do anything to me?!”
Morris’ eyes turned red. In his heart, Audrey was too important. She was even more important than himself.
“No! Don’t be rash! Morris! Audrey will be fine! Don’t take such a risk anymore.”
Klein’s persuasion was completely useless. It was only when Kate’s sturdy body blocked in front of him that Morris could not resist and silently accepted the outcome.
Everyone could see Morris’ dejected expression. Everyone took a deep breath in their hearts, as though Audrey was not coming back. They could only hold their anger in their hearts forever.
“Stinky bird! Wow, how many days has it been since you took a bath? Come! I’ll use my demonic aura to wash you up!”
