Chapter 120: Finding Alice

Alice never thought that she would end up in such a situation. She raised her hand to block the incoming attack but was frightened by the roar of the Demon Beast. She took a few steps back and fell to the ground.

“Someone save me, please!” Alice shouted.

Unfortunately, the forest was too big. She could only hear her own echo and the Demon Beast’s heavy breathing. She did not have any hope of survival.

The Demon Beast opened its bloody mouth at her. Alice raised her hand to cover her eyes, preparing to be hurt.

But unexpectedly, the expected pain did not come. Instead, a chill instantly appeared in the surroundings, followed by the angry roar of the Demon Beast.

“Isn’t that miss Alice?” Morris lifted his leg and kicked the Demon Beast tied up by the ice chain away. “It’s been two days. How did you suddenly become so down and out?”

He did not have a good impression of this spoiled young lady, so he naturally carried a bit of malice.

When Alice heard the familiar voice, she looked up blankly and saw Audrey and the others.

Audrey was wearing a light blue dress. She looked quiet and elegant. The frost that slowly rose from her surroundings made her look like a beautiful and noble vulture’s tail flower that grew in the polar regions.

“Morris, be polite,” Audrey said.

Morris reluctantly agreed. He raised his hand and extended it to Alice, who was slumped on the ground. “I’m very sorry. I spoke rudely just now. As an apology, please let me help you up.”

Kate could not help but laugh when he heard his words. “I wonder, Morris, when did you become so serious?”

Morris rolled his eyes at him and did not reply. Instead, Jill teased him from the side as well.

“I guess he was scared by Audrey. After all, when the beautiful Audrey gets angry, it’s very scary.”

While they were joking, Audrey walked up to the Demon Beast and observed it.

It was just a very ordinary Demon Beast. It did not look like it had fully grown up yet. The aura it emitted was still very young and tender.

In that case, there was no need to kill it all.

Audrey raised her hand, and the pure white ice chain instantly dissipated. The Demon Beast broke free from its restraints and hurriedly ran away without even turning its head back.

“Tell me, what happened? Why did the Demon Beast suddenly attack you?” Audrey turned her head to look at the disheveled Alice.

If her judgment was correct, Alice was most likely one of the eleven people who had gotten separated. After all, a young lady like her would definitely become the center of attention no matter where she went. So it was impossible for her to be sent out to scout the way alone.

An unnatural look flashed across Alice’s face. “I was too hungry just now and wanted to go inside to see if there was anything to eat. But, unfortunately, I was a bit loud, so I was targeted by it.”

Morris smiled. “So that’s the reason.”

Seeing the smile on his face, the shame on Alice’s face deepened.

“If you encounter such a situation next time, you can first release your combat aura to scout the way. Then, of course, if you feel that it’s a character that’s too powerful, I suggest that you run quickly,” Audrey said seriously, “that’s because some monsters really mind the existence of combat aura. Your probing will be taken as a provocation.”

Seeing Audrey explain this matter to her in such a serious manner, Alice felt even more uncomfortable.

After all, she had treated her badly two days ago. However, she did not seem to mind and had even taken the initiative to save her.

Alice tugged at the corner of her skirt, her face filled with awkwardness. “Audrey, thank you for saving me.”

Hearing her words, Jill was very surprised.

After all, she still remembered Alice’s provocation. However, she was not used to hearing an apology all of a sudden.

Audrey smiled brightly. “It’s alright, Alice. Since we’ve bumped into each other, we should take care of each other.”

After dealing with the monster, Audrey told Alice the news they had just received.

Alice was clearly unable to digest it. “What? There’s actually such a thing… then what if my friends and I don’t meet each other for the next three days?”

Audrey shook her head. “I don’t know how to deal with the current situation either, so we plan to put the token aside for now. The main thing is to find our teammates first. After all, teammates are the most important factor.”

The people behind her nodded in agreement.

Alice’s expression was clearly a little strange.

Because she was the captain, their team’s token was naturally placed on her.

However, Alice did not know if she should tell these people about this matter. Although they said they did not care about the token, what if they wanted to fight for it?

She was alone. How could she beat so many people?

Alice hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she chose to hide this matter.

The situation in the forest was far more complicated than they had imagined. Ever since Alice had joined them, they could always find traces of fighting on every section of the road.

They could even hear the wails of Demon Beasts from some places.

An ear-piercing cry rang out. Jill raised her hand to rub her ears and complained, “I really don’t know what they’re thinking. Why did they provoke those Demon Beasts for no reason? Can’t they leave them alone?”
