Audrey retreated rapidly, narrowly avoiding the longsword in his hand.
As the storm intensified, the bottles and jars in the laboratory collided with each other. The sound of glass shattering rang out in all directions, and the marshal's expression gradually turned crazed.
Everything about him was here, and Audrey had wholly destroyed it in an instant.
"Audrey, you're courting death!"
The marshal's expression was ferocious as he bared his teeth and brandished the sharp sword in his hand. A sharp sword light flashed in Audrey's direction, and the table between the two of them split into two in the blink of an eye.
"You're the one courting death." Audrey snorted coldly. She took out a blue potion from her bosom and swung it fiercely in the marshal's direction.
When the ray of light met the potion, it seemed to be frozen as it gradually became transparent.
Following that, with an arc, the potion rushed towards the marshal's position. Wherever it passed, there were wisps of blue smoke burning. The objects that were stained by it also began to become transparent gradually.
A hint of panic flashed in the eyes of the marshal. He hurriedly scurried around, wanting to dodge the potion, but Audrey had already secretly cast a spell on the potion.
It was as if she had her eyes on the marshal. No matter where he ran, the potion would follow him as if it had eyes.
"Hmph, do you think I'll let your evil scheme succeed?" Audrey said coldly when she saw his flushed face.
She had already put away a vial of potion before using storm so that she could stall for time.
Klein and the others ran out of the basement. It was easy to escape, but it was not easy to find the beasts that were imprisoned.
There were many traps here, so they did not know anything about it. They could only rely on the clues Audrey provided.
Walking out of the basement, they were greeted by a long dark corridor that led to three different paths.
"What should we do now? There are three paths here. How should we go?" Kate frowned as he looked at the few intersections, somewhat at a loss.
Mosley walked forward and pointed at the intersection opposite."This intersection shouldn't be a place to imprison animals. Audrey said that she walks in a straight line every day. There won't be any turning points."
Audrey had indeed mentioned this point. Every time the marshal sent people to take her to refine potions, those people would take her straight ahead. They had never gone to the other two roads.
"Then, there are only two possible directions left, " Klein said as he pointed at the two intersections.
Morris nodded with a solemn expression. But, unfortunately, since there were two intersections, it meant that they had to move separately.
"In that case, let's move separately, " Morris said.
The few of them nodded in agreement. This was the fastest and safest decision at the moment.
"Klein, you go left with me. You guys go right." After saying that, Morris looked at the time and continued, "In an hour, regardless of whether we have found it or not, we will meet here."
"Okay."
After reaching an agreement, they split into two separate groups.
It was called a corridor, but it was more like a long culvert. After walking a little further in, a chill seeped into the bone marrow, and there was no light.
The tip of the nose was filled with the smell of blood, and it could not help but make people nauseous.
Morris reached out his palm and muttered. Then, he gently waved his hand in the air, and a yellow flame lit up in front of the two of them, illuminating the corridor.
At the moment when their vision was clear, Morris and Klein both gasped.
This was not a corridor. It was two walls built by corpses.
The heads and bones of all kinds of animals were piled together. Some of them were only left with a head. They had not even closed their eyes yet. Morris could clearly feel the hatred and unwillingness in their eyes.
He moved his feet, and a sticky feeling came from under his feet.
"Morris, look!" Klein cried out in surprise.
Looking in the direction of Klein's finger, Morris saw puddles of sticky blood. His gaze moved forward slightly, and his pupils dilated slightly. It was not just under their feet.
This endless corridor was covered in blood, thick and pungent.
"These people are simply too detestable. They are simply insane!" Klein clenched his fists, his eyes scarlet. They were no different from killing creatures indiscriminately.
Moreover, it was cruel torture.
Morris composed himself, patted his shoulder, and said, "Calm down. What we need to do now is to quickly find the place where they are imprisoned and rescue them."
Finding them was the only way to truly rescue them.
Klein nodded and continued to walk forward with Morris.
During this period of time, the moans of animals could be heard from all directions. But, in front of them, there was only a wall of blood.
While the group of people below was searching, Audrey was also doing her best to deal with the marshal.
Although Audrey had added some other ingredients into the medicine that she had made for him, it still made the marshal's strength increase by a lot.
"Destroy!" Audrey waved her hands, and the medicine ran towards the marshal at ten times the speed. Just as it was about to hit the marshal, a man ran over.
The marshal's eyes flashed, and he quickly gathered a ball of demonic Qi in his hand. The man was quickly dragged up and smashed toward the medicine.
With a bang, the man disappeared into the ashes.
