novelAt the Bottom of the Cliff

"But you look very weak, " Kate interjected from the side. Their eyes were filled with concern and worry. If it were not for Audrey, they would have long been buried under the claws of the Nine Neonate.
Audrey smiled helplessly.
"You look weak because you used too much strength. Just adjust it."
"This is the recovery potion you gave me last time. It should be useful. Drink it quickly." Klein took out a bottle of blue potion and forced it into Audrey's hand.
Although she had refined many potions, Audrey herself rarely used them. She had always thought that potions could be used, but she did not need them unless it was necessary.
It was better to rely on her own abilities to improve.
However, since it was Klein's intention, Audrey still drank it in order to prevent the two of them from worrying about her.
A level-ten recovery potion did not have much of an effect on her. She had only recovered a little, but at least her face did not look so pale.
"It wasn't easy to defeat the Nine Neonate. Let's take a good rest first before we continue forward, " Klein suggested.
"Alright."
The three of them set up their tents on the spot. Audrey went to the otherworldly realm just like before and met Meatball.
"It was just a mere Nine Neonate. How can you be so weak?" Meatball teased the moment they entered.
Audrey silently rolled her eyes at him.
To an Elf like Meatball who had lived for tens of thousands of years, the Nine Neonate was naturally nothing. However, her current strength did not allow her to think that way. If it had been in her previous life, she would have thought nothing of it.
"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute, " Audrey snorted coldly and retorted unceremoniously.
Meatball pursed his lips and watched Audrey walk out of the hot spring and soak in it.
During this time, Meatball told Audrey many things in his memories. After Audrey had almost recovered, she left the otherworldly realm.
"Don't forget to give me a portion when you roast something to eat, " Meatball did not forget to explain. His smiling face was extremely adorable.
"Got it!" Audrey could not help but pinch her hands before leaving.
Just as Meatball had said, Klein and Kate were roasting game outside. It was very delicious.
"Audrey, quickly try this wild boar. It's even more tender than the one we ate last time." She walked over and Kate handed her a piece of meat.
Audrey gladly accepted it and took a bite. Immediately, Meatball's voice sounded in her mind, "Damn it! You didn't give it to me. Instead, you took the first bite!"
"I'll give it to you later."
"Sob, sob, how can you bear to let me watch you eat it first?" Meatball immediately acted coquettishly. Just the sound of his voice was enough to melt people's hearts.
Audrey was no exception. Therefore, she could only take advantage of the time when Klein and Kate went to the tent to get something and send some meat to Meatball.
When the two of them came out and saw that half of the meat was gone, they were slightly surprised.
"Audrey, you actually ate so much, and so quickly. It's really rare, " Klein teased with a smile, his eyes filled with joy.
Hearing this, Audrey smiled embarrassedly. This was not her food. It was clearly Meatball, the glutton.
"Audrey has used up so much energy today. It's only right for her to eat more to replenish her energy, " Kate helped to explain.
Audrey nodded in agreement."Yeah, I don't know why, but I'm just a little hungry today."
"Then, I'll go catch a few more game animals." As she spoke, Klein had already left. Audrey did not stop him. Since she did not feel any danger, it meant that this place was safe. It would not be a problem for Klein to walk around casually.
In order to not let Klein's efforts go to waste, Audrey had indeed eaten quite a lot. Her stomach was slightly bulging as she returned to her tent to rest.
It was unknown how many days had passed since the training began. The three of them seemed to have slowly adapted to the long night. When they were tired, they took turns to rest before setting off again.
"Before I met the Nine Neonate, I felt a powerful force. That force is still present. I think there must be an energy ball nearby, " Audrey said.
"But this place is empty. There aren't any energy balls here."
Most energy balls were in a cave or a slightly hidden place. There was nothing here.
This was also what Audrey was puzzled about. She frowned as she pondered. The scene of her falling from the cliff appeared in her mind as if the energy she felt was even stronger.
Could it be that the energy ball was at the bottom of the cliff?
"I think the energy ball might be at the bottom of the cliff, " Audrey said tentatively. If she wanted to get the energy ball, she had to go down.
"What? Then how do we go down?" Klein immediately became anxious.
The abilities of the three of them were not enough to fly. That was something only very strong experts could do.
"Yeah, none of us can fly. If we go down, we'll fall to our deaths, " Kate said helplessly. It was their fault that they had not reached their abilities yet.
Audrey fell silent. A complicated look flashed across her azure eyes.
Since they could not fly, they naturally had to think of a way to go down.
"Perhaps, I have a way." Her eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth curled up. Her tone was firm.
She could not, but the Snow Goddess could.
"Really? What way do you have?" Klein was surprised and asked curiously.
Audrey's strength was not enough to fly, right? Then why did she say that?
