“Holy crap, it was only dusk when we left. How come everything went out of control as soon as night fell?” Zhou Donghao was absolutely terrified after looking down the mountain.

The student had never seen anything like it. His legs were already trembling!

“Did you see something flowing down the mountain in that direction?” Tao Jing said, pointing in another direction.

Mo Fan saw it too. It was flowing slower than water, as if it was more viscous. He immediately associated it with something else.

“It’s not looking good. The Rock Monsters are attacking the front to distract the soldiers while the Mud Morphing Monsters are sneaking into the city!” Mo Fan said.

“This is bad! Those Mud Morphing Monsters will turn the people into more Rock Monsters. There are so many Basic Mages in the city…” Tao Jing said worriedly.

“We are too far away, and the communication device isn’t working. I think we should leave the city as soon as possible. Something bad is going to happen!” Zhou Donghao suggested.

They were far away from the city and the battlefield. It was unlikely they could make it in time.

“No way! We have to warn the military and tell everyone to look out for the Mud Morphing Monsters,” Tao Jing immediately refuted.

Mo Fan did not expect Tao Jing to have such a strong sense of justice. It was also impossible for him to leave. He had to reach the ramparts as soon as possible!

“Let’s part ways. I’ll head to the military while you two go to the areas where the Mud Morphing Monsters are sneaking in to evacuate the people and prevent them from getting devoured,” Mo Fan said.

If it was only the Rock Monsters, Mo Fan would not be so worried, but after witnessing how the Rock Monster had absorbed Su Jindu into its chest and evolved into the Rock General, he realized how dangerous the Mud Morphing Monsters were. Not everyone stood a chance against a Rock General. Its sturdy skin could protect itself from Basic and Intermediate Spells, not to mention that the city was still in the Magic Sealing Period!

“Got it!” Tao Jing nodded. She immediately headed off in the direction of the areas the Mud Morphing Monsters were stealthily sneaking to.

Zhou Donghao could only clench his teeth and go all out just to win his goddess’ affection. He followed Tao Jing closely to protect her.

“Fan Mo, you should look out since I’m no longer by your side. It’ll be troublesome if we have to hold a memorial service for you if you didn’t make it back to school,” Zhou Donghao told Mo Fan before they split ways.

“He’s a lot stronger than you. You should worry about yourself instead!” Tao Jing rolled her eyes.

Mo Fan was seriously speechless at how brainless this Zhou Donghao was.

Mo Fan continued to drag the fatty with the surname Kang toward the rampart. The ash-covered man woke up when they were almost in the city. He was able to regain consciousness fairly quickly.

“Can you walk yet?” Mo Fan asked.

“I think so…” the fatty groaned.

“You will have to get up and find a safe place to hide. The Mud Morphing Monsters have invaded the city. You should alert the others if you still have some energy left,” Mo Fan told the man.

“Alright, I got it,” the man said gratefully.

“It’s nothing, don’t mind it…” Mo Fan waved his hand. However, he suddenly stopped the man when he recalled something, “Oh, please go on a diet, I’m worn out just from dragging you… oh, carrying you down the mountain.”

The fatty scratched his head in embarrassment. He had a sincere expression, even though his face was covered in ash.

Mo Fan ran to the rampart. The fatty yelled at his back when he suddenly remembered something, “You are Mo Fan, not Fan Mo, right? You’re the guy who won the World College Tournament for our school… I’m your idol, ah wait, you are my idol! I already knew on the first day, after we arrived in the city!”

Mo Fan did not respond after hearing the man’s shout, but it seemed like his efforts to save the fatty were not in vain!

Mo Fan could not move around with Blink and Fleeing Shadow, and so felt far too slow since he could only run with his feet. The rampart was already a great mess by the time he arrived. The Rock Monsters had bunched up like apes, and were smashing through the buildings and chasing the Mages.

The situation was not looking good at all. The Magic Sealing Order had significantly weakened the strength of the army. The Earth Mages who were allocated to the city could only hold the line. How could they possibly use spells of a single Element to fend off these strong and sturdy Warrior-level elemental creatures?

“It’s her. She seems to be commanding the army!” Mo Fan saw a Battlemaga fending off seven Rock Monsters alone on a building. Mo Fan only noticed her because of the Mountain Drill Spinning Top that was her specialty.

Mo Fan happened to see a Rock Monster that was interested in joining the show between the seven Rock Monsters and the beautiful female soldier. He decisively hopped onto the Rock Monster’s back.

The Rock Monster was indeed clumsy, with low intelligence. It only noticed Mo Fan’s existence after reaching the top of the building. It immediately reached its hands out to grab Mo Fan.

“Down you go!”

Mo Fan jumped onto the building while breaking the platform extending out of it with a stomp.

The Rock Monster had nothing left to hold onto. It fell from the top of the building and slammed into a huge pit.

“It’s you!” Wen Xia was surprised to see Mo Fan.

“The Rock Monsters have broken through so easily. It seems like you’re not that good of a commander,” Mo Fan scoffed haughtily.

“Enough with your cynical remarks. Just piss off if you are just being an eyesore, instead of trying to help!” Wen Xia shot right back.

“I’m here to help, of course! You are being tricked by these Rock Monsters. This is only a bunch of cannon fodder meant to distract you. The real force has already snuck into the city!” Mo Fan said righteously.

“Are you referring to those mud monsters that pounce on their targets?” Wen Xia asked while fending off the Rock Monsters.

“Yeah, I saw a whole bunch of them heading to the center of the city,” Mo Fan said.

“Are you sure!?” Wen Xia was almost hit by a Rock Monster in the face from being distracted.

“I’m sure!” Mo Fan swore.

“Damn it, these cunning pricks!” Wen Xia cursed.

“Is the Barrier Core at the center of the city?” Mo Fan asked.

“Obviously, they are clearly heading for the Barrier Core,” Wen Xia forcibly broke free from the encircling Rock Monsters and jumped to a shorter building.

Mo Fan watched Wen Xia leave. He turned around and immediately felt like cursing when he saw the Rock Monsters coming at him.

“Don’t go, get rid of my Seal first!” Mo Fan chased after Wen Xia.

Mo Fan seriously had enough of the Magic Seal. Only Wen Xia was able to get rid of it for him!
