Moving forward, the swampy areas here were even broader. Even the places were the roads used to be had completely caved in.

The Swift Star Wolf was considered a nimble beast, but was forced to be extremely cautious with each step he took.

The Swift Star Wolf was running along, currently on top of a collapsed building. The roof was around a hundred meters long. The area below the building had reverted to a swamp, and in order to continue forward, he had to jump from this building to the balcony of a residential building ahead.

The two buildings were a certain distance apart, hence the Swift Star Wolf needed to sprint to build up momentum.

With a burst of speed, the Swift Star Wolf sprang forward like a dark blue arrow being fired.

It took less than a few seconds to cover the distance of a hundred meters before reaching the edge of the roof.

He jumped into the air and swept across the gap between the two buildings, drawing a blue arc in the air.

”There!” Somewhere nearby, a soldier shouted out while pointing at the two buildings.

A few soldiers who had the Wind Element rushed towards the building from the ground. They were trying to chase after Mo Fan when they realized the place ahead was covered in a huge swamp with black bubbles rising to the surface.

No entry!

They would sink incredibly fast in the swamp. Even using Wind Track was not enough to guarantee they would reach the other side safely. Most importantly, there were definitely a lot of Giant Lizards living in this area. Their strength was a lot higher when fighting in their territory than on the surface.

”Don't let him escape!” the female advisor Jiang Yi in the grey-white uniform shouted.

Two soldiers with Earth Element came up to them, and tried to clear the path with their magic.

The Earth Wave was indeed efficient against the swamp. It gradually split the mud aside in the middle, revealing a walkable path.

The problem was, the mud was extraordinarily heavy, and it covered a huge area too. It would take them some time just to clear a path to the other side.

Even though it was only the distance between two buildings, they had no choice but to chase after their prey slowly.

Meanwhile, Mo Fan rode the Swift Star Wolf, which continued to leap between the roofs. The buildings in this area had yet to collapse, but the entire place seemed to have sunk down into the swamp. Luckily, the Swift Star Wolf was quite an athlete, able to jump nimbly between the buildings as they ventured deeper into the swamp.

The Swift Star Wolf let out a soft groan as he landed on top of a balcony.

Fifteen years ago, Jinlin City's development had just started booming. There were not many high rises with elevators, so most of the residential buildings were not too tall. Most of them were around the same height, making them the perfect springboards for the Swift Star Wolf.

”Why are you crouching?” Mo Fan asked in a confused tone when he felt his body dropping down.

”Awooo~” the Swift Star Wolf cried out in a low tone, as if it were telling the idiot Mo Fan that it was not him crouching, but rather that the whole building was sinking rapidly.

Mo Fan looked sideways and realized that the building they were on was indeed a floor lower than the next building.

”Jump quick! Otherwise, we will be buried together with the building!” Mo Fan told the Swift Star Wolf urgently.

The Swift Star Wolf did not dare to hesitate further. He immediately took off after seeing that the building was sinking rapidly.
