The Genius Mage

Chapter 383: Prison

The stone was pushed down a little, and soon after, some dust fell. It was evident that people did not come here often.

Morris escorted Audrey down from the stone and stood to the side, in a relatively safe corner.

At this moment, the stone wall slowly cracked open, and a glimmer of light came out from the crack. After that, the crack slowly grew bigger, and their eyes lit up.

Unlike the dark path, behind the stone wall was a bright space, like a well.

“It really opened.” Morris smiled happily. After confirming that there was no danger, he walked in. Audrey followed closely behind him.

The space was empty. There were only some cages and animal fur.

“What are these used for?” Morris took the lead to observe, asking with a puzzled look.

At the same time, Audrey’s expression darkened. From the moment she entered, she had smelled an unusual aura. However, this space was empty, and it was not the source of the aura.

That meant that there was a more hidden place here.

“It’s probably used to imprison animals.” Audrey looked carefully and said meaningfully, “There must be something hidden here.”

Upon hearing this, Morris immediately became vigilant. After all, Audrey’s intuition had always been very accurate.

After looking at all the items in the space, Audrey turned to look at the stone walls. They had just come from the stone walls. Then, could the stone walls here also move?

Where was the mechanism?

Audrey frowned as she looked around. Her azure eyes flashed with a hint of complexity.

This should be the deepest part of the cave, but she had not found her partner yet. Audrey could not help but feel worried.

“Is there something wrong here?” Morris walked up with a serious expression and asked in a low voice when he saw Audrey staring at the same spot.

Audrey’s frown deepened. Just as she was about to express her opinion, the sound of a stone wall moving came from behind them.

The two of them immediately turned around and saw the stone wall not far away from them slowly opening. The stench of a beast assailed them, but Audrey could sense another aura from the beast.

She did not know what it was yet.

“Why did it suddenly open?” Morris was surprised. He and Audrey had not moved at all.

Audrey did not know what was going on either, but since a new space had appeared, she had to go in and explore it. Perhaps she would discover something.

She gave Morris an ambiguous look and walked behind the stone wall.

Morris followed without hesitation.

Before she got close, Audrey heard the roars coming from inside. They were probably from beasts. If they were cowards, they would have already stopped walking.

However, Audrey was even more curious about what was inside.

She quickened her pace and walked straight in.

Behind the stone wall, there was a row of stairs. As she walked down, it looked like a huge basement. Of course, it was not an exaggeration to describe it as a cage.

This was because, in this huge basement, there were thousands of cages. There were all sorts of beasts imprisoned inside. Although some of them looked normal, some of them were huge, and some of them were extremely irritable or dispirited. Audrey could tell at a glance that there was something unusual about them.

Could it be that someone had deliberately changed them?

That unusual aura was also emitted from their bodies.

Just looking at these cages and wild beasts, Audrey’s expression was extremely ugly. These wild beasts were supposed to live in the forest freely, but now, they were imprisoned here, and they had even done evil things to them.

“Aren’t these…the wild beasts that attacked Spark City?” Morris was stunned for a long time before he said nervously.

“Yes, it seems like the wild beasts attacking Spark City wasn’t a coincidence. Someone had deliberately planned it.” Audrey nodded, and a hint of viciousness flashed in her eyes. Finally, she said in a low voice that was filled with coldness.

“Who was so vicious that they didn’t even let the wild beasts off? How could they use such a good beast like this!” Morris was instantly enraged.

These beasts were all innocent.

This was also a problem that Audrey was very concerned about. Beasts and humans usually coexisted peacefully. This was the only way to ensure a normal life in Spark City. If the beasts were to riot, Spark City would definitely fall into chaos as well.

This was probably the goal of the people behind the scenes. They would use the beasts to cause chaos in Spark City while they would reap the benefits.

There was no need to guess on purpose. Audrey had already thought of the people from the Carol Association.

“Let’s see what’s going on first.” Audrey tried her best to calm down. Although wild beasts were not as intelligent as humans, they would not listen to others casually.

How did they do it?

Audrey was puzzled. She sighed deeply, walked down the steps, and walked into the cage.

Every time they passed a cage, the beast inside would let out a strange roar and lunge at Audrey and Morris. Fortunately, neither of them was afraid. They walked all the way to the innermost part of the cage, which seemed to be a laboratory.
