Chapter 7 : Audrey

The woman in front of me, wearing a black witch's robe, her face covered with a veil, however, from the exposed eyes and the outline behind the veil, I still immediately judged her to be a beautiful woman.

 I had already rushed to her, originally prepared to put the knife on the monster's neck, now saw that it was not right, and hastily withdrew my hand, however, in a moment of panic, my feet were unsteady, and I pounced on her.

 The beautiful witch's eyes immediately became panic, however, without her hand, the game's protection measures for female players immediately took effect, judging that my behaviour does not belong to the "attack", and immediately unceremoniously popped me up.

 I sat on my arse at the back of the boat, the witch's face was already red, her gaze was like she wanted to kill, her right hand raised the witch's staff, her left hand grasped a strange thing, and she was about to start reciting a spell.

 I panicked and called out, "I'm sorry, I thought you were a monster, you, you, you're a player too, right, you should be thanking me for saving you from the sand! I have absolutely no ill will towards you!"

 The witch froze, thought for a moment, and finally didn't **chant** the spell.

 I let out a long breath, "I'm here to find the ancient metropolis of 'Psi', what about you, are you on a quest too?"

 The witch hummed, "Not bad."

 I had some comfort in my heart, I finally had company, so that I wouldn't be too lonely in the sea of sand, and I also had someone to discuss with.

 I said, "You came before me and found something? It can't be because you're too tired, so you're stuck in the sand, how long have you been down there and not suffocated?"

 The witch grunted, "Only you are so stupid, Yui is underneath this sea of sand, this layer of sand, it's a formation laid down by someone else!"

 I let out an ah, "I know it's a formation, but, are you also in the formation, why can my fishhook catch you?"

 The witch's face was still red, "The exit of this formation is right below, as long as you go through the sand, you can get out of the formation, that's why your fish hook can also go through the formation and hook my sash!"

 It was only then that I noticed that the fishhook had hooked into her waistband behind her back, but the material of her clothes was really good, it wouldn't break even if she pulled it like this. I hurriedly helped her untie it.

 I felt strange, "Since the exit is below, then anyone can find it, what's the point of this formation?"

 The witch gave me a blank look, "Yes, anyone can find it, but you didn't, luckily, you didn't use a flying pet, once you fly up to the sky, you'll trigger stronger formations, these were laid down by the Ancient Demon Gods to blockade the Pixie City. We can come in from the outside, but those inside can't escape to the outside."

 I don't know why this witch is treating me so poorly, it's not like I owe her anything or have offended her, right?

 I might even have to do a mission with her in the future, I threw her bad attitude aside and smiled, "That's not necessarily true, I'll just drag you outside la."

 The witch glanced at my boat, "Only a monster like you would think of travelling a boat on the sand, everyone else would either fly up into the sky and fall into the formation, or crash into the Phantom City below. It seems that I can finally get out."

 I wondered, "You're not going to do the quest?"

 The witch said, "I'll do it, but I ran out of materials a long time ago, I have to go out and buy some new ones."

 I smiled, "I'm Chris by the way, full time, what's your name and how long have you been stuck here?"

 The witch grunted, "Why would I tell you."

 I'll be damned, playing a girly game here, aren't you afraid I'll throw you in the sand? Just don't tell me? I'll check!

 "Audrey, level 47 wizard."

 Awesome, it's already great for a wizard to be trained to level 47, not to mention, it's still a female. Of course, witches are usually specially trained by certain organisations and groups, and this witch probably is too.

 I smiled, "Well, you're going out right, can you find the direction? Where to go out from?"

 Audrey frowned a bit and sighed, "This formation, I can't go out either ...

 I eeked, "Aren't you a sorcerer? Witches should know about formations!"

 Audrey said, "I haven't learnt this kind of formation, you have to practice formation arts to expert level or above before you can walk out. Right now I'm only Extra First Class."

 I said, "In that case, let's go down to the Phantom City first, what's down there?"

 Audrey said, "There are monsters down there, as well as ... and you'll know when you see it. If you want me to accompany you down there, you have to provide me with materials."

 I froze, "What materials."

 Audrey didn't have the heart to say, "Don't you know? Our sorcerer's spells all need to use all kinds of materials as coal medium, without materials, I can't do anything, you're responsible for me dying?"

 Hey, I really don't want to give her the materials, I'll go down alone, not the same, what else do I beg you for?

 Forget it, I don't want to see the girl angry, so I'll be generous and give her some materials to see if I can improve the relationship.

 The materials I have collected are quite abundant, and I like to bring them with me when I have them, ready to make things at any time. Casually took some normal monster stuff and gave it to her, Audrey seemed to skim, "You usually collect these things ah, all from level 30 or 40 monsters."

 I'm dizzy, you still dislike it?

 Audrey put away those materials of mine, suddenly like a sudden realisation: "Oh, I just noticed that you are only level 39, this kind of level will run to the City of Pixie ... no wonder, you can hit the things of level 40 monsters is already good."

 Hearing her words, I really can't help it, we are not an ordinary level 39!

 I rummaged through all the materials in my pockets and poured them on the boat, "Come on, look, are these things still suitable for your Missy's eyes?"

 Audrey's eyes lit up instantly, and her mouth behind the veil seemed to be forcing a smile, before I realised I'd fallen for it. However, my hand was a little late, Audrey had already brainstormed those materials of mine and scavenged them, the movement was surprisingly not slower than Iverson!

 Done and done, at first thought she was the kind of woman who was cold and arrogant and noble, I just took out things like this to vent my anger, I didn't expect that ah, it turns out that she had been playing tricks all along!

 Hey, recently stayed with friends for a long time, especially caught the "problem" of Lyon's boldness, too trusting of others, why did I not think of, in front of me, this is a woman, a woman, ah ...

 My expression must be very pitiful, swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Well, this, this, Audrey Grand Sorcerer, you see, there are some things I can also be useful, for example, that what blue demon essence yuan, that basilisk tortoise gall bladder, that evil eagle golden horns, there is also that ..."

 Audrey impatiently shook her hand, "Okay, okay, the materials on these BOSSes, won't be used up at once, each can be used many times, I promise not to use them badly for you okay."

 I still want to speak, Audrey said, "Get ready, let's go."

 Only to see her grab a few pieces of basilisk turtle's shells and several kinds of animal skins, mouth gibberish read a few sentences, and then let out a cry, "Armour Protection Technique!" The shells and skins all disappeared from her hands, and a transparent protective shield appeared around her, after which Audrey jumped down towards the sea of sand.

 I sighed and stepped out of my ark first, then stuffed it into my own bag.

 Removing the feeling of fear, I let my body fall with gravity. The black sand flooded me, but did not make me feel strange, and soon, I passed through it and landed on the ground.

 I looked up and saw that there was no black sand, but the sky was high above me, with dark clouds in the sky, and not a single ray of sunshine could be seen.

 The whole earth was illuminated by the faint glow of phosphorus flames floating in the air.

 Looking at the phosphorus fire, I remembered my own Dream Soul Pot, launched the "Soul Regeneration Technique" attached to the pot, and waved it at the phosphorus fire a few times, but it had no effect, the system prompted: "There is no usable object."

 Audrey shouted over there, "Don't you want me to use up all my materials?"

 My heart skipped a beat, yeah, can't let this witch burn me like this.

 I retrieved the Dream Spirit Pot and shouted, "You stop, I'll kill the monster!"

 Audrey backed away with a smile, strange, although she was wearing a veil, but I could always feel her expression, is it because of high intuition oh.

 However, this girl is not schizophrenic or something like that ah, at one time cold, at another time and laugh, which is really ah.

 The monsters in front of me are "Grass-eating Beasts", "Earth-eating Beasts" and "Corpse-eating Beasts", which are level 20 - 40 respectively. I can't do that in front of Audrey. In front of Audrey, I do not want to show weakness, plus a variety of auxiliary spells, swords, guns, arrows, sticks, earth, fire, water, wind ... plus the library of the newly learned, I put more than a dozen kinds of combat skills used all over again, of course, but also add intermediate third-class "continuous skills".

 A round down, killed hundreds of monsters, tired of my hands soft, mental exhaustion excessive, and hastily secretly eat a few drugs.

 However, I couldn't let Audrey see that I was so tired, so I insisted for another half a day before I retreated.

 Audrey blinked her eyes and looked at me, "You are very good oh."

 I heatedly smiled, "Of course ... cough." A breath didn't come up and choked.

 Audrey laughed softly, "Almost caught up with my level 29."

 I pour, there is such a cocky woman!

 Audrey hummed, "You don't believe me? I'll show you."

 I panicked and pulled her back, "I believe, I believe, please, don't use big magic."

 If I let her perform once, how much more material will I lose!

 I was about to rush up to cut up the monster corpses, but I saw that a group of ghouls had already swallowed all the corpses of their companions long ago, and I was dumbfounded by the sight.

 Audrey pushed me, "That's scary ah, you haven't seen a treasure-eating beast yet."

 I froze, "What is that?"

 Audrey said: "Treasure-eating beasts are the strongest monsters in this area, they specialise in eating equipment, the day before yesterday I hit a silver level sword here, immediately ran out of a group of treasure-eating beasts to grab, and instantly ate it all."

 Holy shit, I said I didn't see the equipment of the previous dead experts, so it was swallowed by those guys!

 Audrey said, "This area is the outskirts of the original Phantom City, there's nothing special, let's continue walking."

 Passing through the area of these monsters, some stone slabs began to appear on the ground, to the edge of the city.

 Gusts of ghastly wind blew through, the air was heavy with shadows, this time it was real ghosts.

 Audrey seems to be used to this sight, not scared at all, grabbed a handful of materials from her bag, "This level, those tricks of yours are useless, look at me."

 I hemmed and hawed and laughed strangely, "Who said I'm useless, look at mine - Destroying Heaven and Earth Ghost Crying God's Recruitment of Souls!"

 I raised the Dream Soul Pot and unleashed the "Soul Recruitment Technique"!
