Chapter 337: Poisoning

“This is a glacial lake. There might be a warm current passing by nearby, so the temperature is relatively warm. That’s why it’s not completely frozen,” Audrey said calmly after some thought. Her azure eyes were filled with deep thought.

They suddenly understood.

“But we’re looking for the blazing flame beast. Now that we’ve been blown here, what should we do?” Kate frowned slightly, his heart filled with worry.

These words also made Audrey sink into silence and contemplation.

After a long while, the corners of her mouth curled up into an interesting smile. Then, her eyes lit up as she said, “It might not necessarily be a bad thing.”

“Why do you say that?” The few of them asked with puzzled expressions.

“The blazing flame beast also needs to survive. So it will definitely choose a place that is suitable for survival. That is a warmer place, with water and food. Therefore, it is very likely that it is nearby,” Audrey said solemnly, her thoughts meticulous.

“I see. Then, it should be around here.” Adrian nodded thoughtfully, a delighted smile on his face. He looked at Audrey with appreciation. “Audrey, you’ve thought of everything.”

Hearing this, Audrey chuckled. She just had more experience than the others.

In this boundless glacier, Audrey could not sense the aura of the blazing flame beast at all, so the few of them could only rely on their guesses to find it.

As they were about to leave, a strange sound suddenly came from the glacier lake behind them.

Immediately after, a giant snake broke out of the water. It was more than ten meters long when it reached the water’s surface, and a part of it was still in the water. It could be seen how huge the giant snake was.

Their faces instantly turned pale.

Some blue ink spewed out of the giant snake’s mouth, emitting a foul smell.

“Wind wall!” Audrey waved her hand, gathering the surrounding wind elements to create a barrier in front of them.

The winds in the polar glaciers were powerful, so the wind wall was naturally sturdy.

However, when the blue ink spewed out, the wind wall melted a little. Audrey could not help but be surprised for a moment. What exactly was that ink? It had such great power.

Seeing that the wind wall was about to collapse, Audrey took a step forward and released a shockwave, striking the body of the giant snake.

The giant snake swayed a few times. Then, a pair of terrifying eyes looked at Audrey fiercely and spat out the blue ink at her. Audrey’s eyes flashed, and she quickly dodged it.

“Ice blade, explode!”

Countless pieces of ice from the glacier lake rose into the air and turned into sharp ice blades, charging straight at the giant snake.

The giant snake spat out blue ink, and when the ink touched the ice blades, they melted. However, there were still some ice blades that pierced into the giant snake’s body.

At that moment, the giant snake suddenly rose into the air and struck Audrey.

“Audrey, be careful!” The others called out, but it was too late.

Audrey, who the giant snake had accidentally struck, had already fallen into the glacier lake. Unfortunately, the giant snake also dove into the water extremely fast, starting an underwater battle with Audrey.

The others standing on the shore could not see what was happening underwater, so they stepped forward one after another, trying to help.

Audrey was not good at fighting underwater. Her strength was also limited to a certain extent.

Moreover, the blue ink would quickly disperse in the water, drilling directly into Audrey’s skin. Although Audrey did not know what the use of the ink was, she still could not let her guard down.

“Frost arrow!” Audrey quickly leaped out of the water and stood on a glacier.

However, she did not know why, but she felt a little dizzy, and her body seemed to be swaying.

What’s going on? Audrey was puzzled, and her attacks became a little strenuous.

The others seemed to have noticed Audrey’s strange behavior and stepped forward to help. Unfortunately, Audrey only saw her teammates rush on like a swarm of bees, and her vision turned dark.

The fragrance of flowers drifted into her nose. Audrey frowned slightly and opened her eyes a moment later.

Above her head was a peach forest, and below her was a meadow. So this was an otherworldly realm?

“You’re finally awake.” Especially when the voice was Meatball’s, Audrey immediately woke up and stood up. She looked at Meatball in surprise and said, “Why am I here?”

“Of course I stole you back,” Meatball said smugly with a sly smile.

Steal? Audrey did not understand.

She remembered that she was fighting with the giant snake. Later, she did not know what had happened, but she felt exhausted. After that, she felt dizzy and did not know anything.

As for her teammates, they seemed to be fighting with the giant snake. How were they?

“You were poisoned. If I hadn’t secretly brought you back and used the hot spring water to detoxify you, you would have died a long time ago,” Meatball explained with a look of disdain.

I see. He did not expect the blue ink to be so toxic.

“Where are my other friends?” Audrey asked.

“Well, I don’t know,” Meatball lowered his head and said guiltily.

“You don’t know?” Audrey frowned as she sized up Meatball doubtfully.

Only then did Meatball speak truthfully. “Hmph, of course they’re busy fighting with the giant snake. Unfortunately, I’m not strong enough, so I could only secretly get you back.”
