Chapter 288: Meeting the Nine Neonate

Even now, Audrey’s hair stood on end when she recalled the scene in her dream. That scene was too thrilling. It was the first time Audrey had such a feeling after being in the forest for so long.

“I wonder when we’ll be able to leave this place,” Klein sighed softly. He looked up at the Red Moon in the sky, and the sadness in his heart increased.

When he first saw the Red Moon, he could not help but feel that it was a little scary. However, now that he had seen it so many times, he actually felt that it was a little good-looking.

Klein could not help but laugh mockingly. “It’s really rare to see such a scene in Spark City. Audrey, do you think that we’ll be able to successfully join the Knights?”

Hearing this, Audrey was stunned for a moment. A complicated look flashed across her eyes as she said, “It should be possible. I believe that we can.”

No matter what, since they had already reached this step, joining the Knights was a must.

“Yeah, I believe it too.” Klein seemed to have been inspired by Audrey, and he was instantly full of ambition.

The two chatted for a while and waited until Kate had rested before they decided to continue exploring the forest and try to gather as many energy balls as possible.

They did not know the direction and just continued walking forward. The three of them did not know where they had come to. They only felt that the surrounding forest seemed very desolate, unlike the luxuriant trees from before.

Most of the trees here were dry. There were only a few withered leaves hanging from the lonely tree trunks, giving off an inexplicable sense of desolation.

The moment she stepped into this forest, Audrey felt a powerful energy aura. Of course, there was also a dangerous aura.

However, Audrey only thought that the dangerous aura came from the divine beast guarding the energy ball and did not think too much about it.

“Let’s go in this direction.” Audrey stood where she was and identified the direction of the aura for a while. She swept her sharp eyes over and said with certainty.

“Did you sense anything?” Klein suddenly became serious and asked seriously.

Audrey nodded and told the two of them about the aura she had sensed.

They were about to face an unknown danger. The three of them carefully moved forward and used the fireball to survey their surroundings. After confirming that there was no danger, they boldly continued forward.

After walking for hundreds of meters, there was still no trace of the energy ball. Audrey could not help but frown. She had clearly sensed the energy ball’s information, but why was there still no trace of it.

Just as Audrey was in deep thought, a monster suddenly descended from the sky.

The moment he landed, some of the surrounding trees were instantly set ablaze as a ball of fire descended. It looked especially flamboyant in the dark night.

“What kind of monster is this!” The burning of the fire made people feel pain. Kate and Klein immediately took a few steps back, but they still could not bear it.

The monster pounced down and stopped in front of the three of them. It bared its fangs and brandished its claws. What was most surprising was that there were nine heads on the entire body of the monster.

Audrey’s gaze tightened as she stared at the monster. She said in a low voice, “This is the Nine Neonate.”

“Nine Neonate?” Klein cried out in surprise, “Isn’t that…”

Before he could finish his words, the Nine Neonate seemed to understand. It spat out a ball of fire that emitted a fiery aura. Audrey’s eyes and hands were quick. She immediately condensed an energy ball to block the ball of fire.

When the ball of fire collided with the energy ball, it released a tremendous force and was instantly destroyed.

Audrey felt a jolt in her heart. She had used 70-80% of the energy ball just now, but she did not expect that it would only be able to cancel out the Nine Neonate’s fireball in front of her.

It could be seen just how powerful the Nine Neonate was.

Audrey was sweating in her heart. She still did not know what kind of ending it would have against the Nine Neonate.

“Be careful. It’s not easy to deal with,” Audrey turned around to remind the two of them.

Klein and Kate naturally felt that the Nine Neonate was difficult to deal with. They were all prepared for battle and released their combat aura. However, the Nine Neonate did not seem to be afraid at all.

It had nine heads, each in a different shape and form. It was very terrifying.

Audrey had never seen the Nine Neonate before. This was the first time. She had seen the Nine Neonate in a picture book before. It was said that it was a monster of water and fire. It was neither alive nor dead.

This was troublesome. Audrey did not know how to deal with it.

However, since it was such a profound monster, it should be able to understand human language. Audrey tried to communicate with it.

“Nine Neonate, what are you trying to do?”

“Heh! I’m just looking for some food,” the Nine Neonate said in a stunning voice. It meant that it had treated Audrey and the others as prey.

It seemed like they were going to fight to the death.

Audrey snorted coldly. Her azure eyes revealed a hint of danger. Her hands, which were hidden by her side, were already emitting faint blue energy.

“Roar!” The Nine Neonate roared and spat out a stream of water.

So it really was a water and fire monster.

“Ice and snow wall!” Audrey immediately built a wall in front of the three of them. When the water column sprayed on it, the ice and snow melted a little, but fortunately, it could still barely withstand the Nine Neonate’s attack.

Seeing that the water column was of little use, the Nine Neonate spat out another flame, and the ice and snow wall fell instantly.

The flame pressed straight at the three of them. Audrey hurriedly formed an ice and snowball in her hand to block the flame, but the flame still made Audrey feel a little anxious.
