Mo Fan was worried about the same thing, but judging from the looks of it, the army should have encountered the Mud Morphing Monsters by now. Hopefully, they were able to perceive the threat these strange elemental creatures posed and eliminate them in time.

“There are bloodstains here. It should be theirs,” Mo Fan was able to pick up a faint scent of blood.

Mo Fan and Zhou Donghao waited for the Mud Morphing Monsters to leave before following the trail of blood.

The Rock Monsters were elemental creatures, so they would never bleed. Therefore, Tao Jing and the others must have left the bloodstains. It seemed like they were only injured by the Rock Monsters, instead of having their bodies being taken over by the creatures.

After passing through the area with stalactites, the path began to narrow; not in terms of its width, but its height. Mo Fan and Zhou Donghao had to bend forward to keep going. They could not help but feel pressured as they ventured deeper.

“Who’s there!?” an alert voice suddenly came from ahead.

“It’s me, Fan Mo! Tao Jing, is that you?” Mo Fan had already noticed the fragrance of the shampoo which Tao Jing always used. She seemed to be fond of it. Mo Fan’s nose was quite sensitive after hanging around the old wolf for so long.

“I’m here too, Tao Jing! I’m Zhou Donghao, I’ve risked my life to save you!” Zhou Donghao blurted out excitedly.

“Shhh!” Tao Jing immediately stopped him from talking.

Zhou Donghao’s voice immediately attracted some attention. A black shadow flickered past in the darkness and smashed the rocks recklessly, as if it was trying to break the short ceiling and make its way over to them.

Mo Fan glanced at the Rock Monster and studied the area. He was impressed by how smart Tao Jing was, hiding in a spot where the Rock Monsters could not reach to guarantee her safety.

“Where are the others?” Mo Fan asked.

“The seniors said they would look for an exit, but they haven’t returned,” Tao Jing said gloomily.

Tao Jing was touched that Mo Fan had come to save her, her nose tingling as she spoke. She had only met Mo Fan not long ago, yet the guy was willing to risk his life and jump into the cave because of her!

“Was something chasing you?” Mo Fan asked.

“A Rock Monster, the same creature that we encountered on the street previously. We had no choice but to jump into the cave to avoid it. We’ve been hiding here all along, as the Rock Monster stayed at the entrance. We came up with a plan together. I’d keep the Rock Monster distracted while the others would look for an exit in the other direction. I have no idea if they have reached safety,” Tao Jing said.

“I doubt it. Didn’t you notice how many Rock Monsters are in this area?” Mo Fan pointed at a few figures roaming nearby.

“Yeah, there are four of them nearby. If it wasn’t for my Shadow Element, we wouldn’t even have made it here,” Zhou Donghao said. He suddenly realized something and looked at Mo Fan doubtfully. “Strange, I’m able to conceal my presence with my Shadow Element, but why didn’t they notice you?”

Mo Fan was seriously speechless, staring at the brainless man.

Did he really think his Shadow Element was enough to conceal his presence from the Warrior-level creatures? If Mo Fan hadn’t lent him a hand with his Shadow Element, the four Rock Monsters would have beaten him up by now!
