Silver scales glowed brightly under the moonlight, resembling large groups of warriors in silver armor approaching from all directions!
”Follow the fluorescent lights, don't stray off the path, or else you won't make it out of the Sunset Shrine!” Mu Bai reminded them once again.
The dilapidated structures were scattered along the slope, their layout very confusing. They would easily lose their way if they took the wrong path!
Three Silver Snake Warriors that had climbed up to the top of a black structure with the help of the vines along the wall jumped down. Each of their six arms was holding a thin spike around three meters long. Three Silver Snake Warriors meant eighteen pikes! They danced in the air while slashing down in a spiraling motion.
The spirals descended rapidly, forcing everyone to dodge to the side. The slashes barely missed some of their toes!
”Defend yourself, don't just run!” Mo Fan yelled while running in the middle of the group.
If they kept running, the enemy could just attack recklessly. Not many of them could survive the continuous rain of attacks coming at them!
Not every Silver Snake Warrior had pikes for weapons. When the group arrived at one of the exits, a Silver Snake Commander over twenty meters tall was holding two heavy bone hammers with its six arms!
The heads of the hammers were obviously the skull of some enormous beasts. The Silver Snake Commander held each hammer with three hands. It leapt into the air and smashed the ground in the middle of the group. The terrifying hammers easily broke shattered the ground to pieces!
”Blink!” Heidi immediately cast the Space Spell when she saw the group about to lose its formation. ”Come here!” she yelled.
The others quickly gathered toward Heidi after seeing the silver light.
When everyone was close enough, Heidi immediately activated the spell. The group swiftly vanished after the silver light reached its peak inside the collapsing building.
The Silver Snake Commander's hammers had left an enormous hole on the ground, but it was not as clumsy as it seemed. It turned its head and immediately noticed its targets around a hundred meters away! It immediately let out a cry.
A dense show of silver flickers appeared in the air as a huge number of Silver Snake Warriors jumped up. They had surrounded Mo Fan and the others in some tall woods.
The woods did not cover a large area. The remains of old structures could still be seen nearby. Many Silver Snake Warriors were climbing up the trees; whether they were coming from the front, above, the trees, or off the roofs of the structures, their shiny silver scales were everywhere!
Zhao Manyan and Galba cast their Earth Magic simultaneously to build rock barriers against the deadly attacks!
”Follow me!” Zhao Manyan yelled.
Zhao Manyan ran at the front of the group while extending his arms to both sides. A brown light shone while he was running.
Two sturdy walls of rocks emerged from the ground on both sides of him to block off the enemy and set up an escape path for the group. As he sprinted forward, the thick walls continued to rise in the direction he was running to.
”Keep up, keep up!” Mentor Vani shouted at the students of the European University Institute.
The Silver Snake Warriors and their attacks were blocked by the walls of stone. The group was basically running inside a canyon leading them straight to the woods outside the Sunset Shrine!
”Look out behind!” Heidi yelled.
Mo Fan turned around and was surprised to see the Silver Snake Commander coming up along the path that Zhao Manyan had built. The creature's speed was insanely terrifying. The distance between them was reduced to only two hundred meters in the blink of an eye.
Someone fired a spell at the Silver Snake Commander, forcing the creature to slow down. However, as soon as the distance increased by a little, the enraged Silver Snake Commander tossed its hammer at the group!
”My turn!” Mo Fan immediately put Apas down on the ground when he saw the hammer flying at them in a parabola. He took a step forward!
Mo Fan clenched his fist while letting out a wild cry, before throwing a punch at the hammer.
His fist erupted into flames. The Meteor Scarlet grew rapidly as Mo Fan hurled it forth. It turned into a meteorite flying right at the bone hammer!
