An odd sound was coming from the bushes. Lan Luo immediately scanned her surroundings cautiously.
It was difficult to tell if the grass was rustling because of the wind or there was indeed something moving among the grass. Therefore, they had to be on alert at all times, which was very mentally draining.
”I can't sense where they are,” Zhao Manyan murmured.
”It's their natural slaughterhouse here. They should have some way to avoid detection,” Mo Fan agreed.
”There are voices in this direction...” Lan Luo turned to her side before quickly turning around and blurting out, ”There's some movement here… and here too!”
Mo Fan looked around him. He grinned and said, ”It looks like we're getting close to their den, so a lot of them have come to intercept us!”
With a loud thud, a Hillmen over two meters tall charged out from the grass right in front of Mo Fan and lunged at him. The creature was hiding less than ten meters away, close enough to pounce on Mo Fan right away!
Mo Fan cast an indifferent gaze at the creature. His eyes emitted a mysterious silver light when the Hillman drew close enough. The light instantly transformed into an invisible force.
Mo Fan used Telekinesis to knock the Hillman over ten meters into the air. A dark lightning bolt descended from the clear sky and landed precisely on the Hillman before it could react!
The bolt of lightning went through the Hillman's body and immediately blew the creature into blood droplets. Its thick flesh, sturdy skin, and muscular build were completely useless against Mo Fan's lightning with its twelvefold damage!
”So strong!” Lan Luo's eyes glittered when she saw how Mo Fan had killed the Hillman so easily.
Hillmen were strong Warrior-level creatures, considering how they were able to wipe out groups of Hunters easily. Even so, they did not stand a chance against the young man. Lan Luo already had some idea on who Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan were. After all, there were not many Mages so powerful at such a young age!
”A bunch of clowns, come out here!” Mo Fan snapped while completing a silver Star Pattern.
A silver rhomboid appeared above Mo Fan. It landed under Mo Fan's control, applying a strong force across a huge area. The tall grass within three hundred meters was pressed flat to the ground. Even the ground sank a little under the pressure!
The grass was pressed flat. The Hillmen hiding in it while slowly sneaking up on the humans were completely exposed. The creatures stared at one another with blank faces. They did not expect the human Mage to have such domineering power!
However, the brutal Hillmen quickly unleashed a blood-red light and charged fiercely at the humans.
Lan Luo saw a few dozen Hillmen as soon as the area was exposed. Even an experienced Mage like her felt her scalp turning numb.
As for Guan Xixi and Liu Xiaojia, it was their first time seeing so many Warrior-level creatures. They were already hugging one another with trembling legs after feeling the terrifying auras of the creatures, so much stronger than the presence of mere Servant-class creatures!
”Why are they so many of them? I'm leaving these to you, I'll hold this direction; Zhao Manyan, look after the girls,” Lan Luo said. She seemed pretty calm.
However, when eight Hillmen began to charge at her, she slightly lost her ground. She even failed to cast an Advanced Spell!
It could not be helped. Even when she was in some strong teams, she had never found herself in a situation like this. They were going up against around forty Warrior-level creatures. Each was strong enough to bring real danger to their team!
”I thought there would be hundreds of them waiting for us here. It looks like they aren't treating us seriously enough, Mo Fan,” Zhao Manyan said.
”Same here, should I do it or you?” Mo Fan asked.
”You can do it, I'll look after the girls!” Zhao Manyan said.
Mo Fan nodded. He slowly lifted his finger and pointed at the sky.
Lightning strikes suddenly flashed across the clear sky. They soon split into lightning arcs and rapidly gathered above Mo Fan's finger...
The lightning arcs crackled sharply. At Mo Fan's command, the lightning strikes descended rapidly, each over a hundred meters long and thick as an aged tree. When the dark lightning bolts struck the ground, they immediately spread into arcs of electricity, resembling a spider web covering an area of over a hundred meters. It started with a few dozen lightning strikes, but by the moment they reached the ground, there were hundreds or even thousands of lightning threads flickering wildly across the place!
The lightning was dazzling and loud, inflicting damage on every single Hillman scattered across the area, paralyzing the creatures while puncturing them...
The Hillmen cried out like apes in their pain. They continuously fell to the ground while twitching in the giant lightning web. Only a dozen or so were still standing after just a brief moment, barely withstanding the damage inflicted by the lightning!
”Tyrant Call!” Mo Fan hissed.
The Lightning Tyrant Scars had been stacking on the Hillmen, each able to call down an Exploding Apex with its damage amplified twelvefold. If there were more scars on the same Hillman, the lightning they triggered would be even stronger!
Hundreds of lightning strikes came down simultaneously at his trigger, sweeping the soil into the air while the flesh and blood of the Hillmen sprayed in the air after they were pulverized!
The lightning of Tyrant Call was insanely quick. It did not fork before attacking its target; it was just a blast with brute force that slaughtered the Hillmen, whether they were standing or lying on the ground!
A destructive aura lingered in the air, with the smell of burned flesh. Lan Luo, Guan Xixi, and Liu Xiaojia were completely dumbfounded...
That was more than forty Warrior-level creatures! Normally, they would need a huge team of Hunters against such a group of demon creatures, yet the young man had wiped them all out in just half a minute!
Lan Luo had already thought Mo Fan was insanely strong when she saw him killing a Hillman instantly. She did not expect he would be able to kill more than forty Warrior-level creatures like he was reaping crops… it completely toppled her understanding of magic!
”Come, I think we're pretty close to their den,” Mo Fan said indifferently, dusting off his hands.
The three girls stood dumb like wooden chickens. It took them a while to recover from the shock!
Liu Xiaojia's eyes were filled with glittering stars of admiration. She suddenly saw Mo Fan as her Prince Charming!
