Chapter 1767 - Courting Death! (2/2)

“What were you trying to say? How are the Rock Monsters related to my seniors?” Tao Jing asked when she noticed something.

“Did you encounter something like a mud monster?” Mo Fan asked.

“I did! That thing tried to pounce on me, but I blocked it with my magic,” Tao Jing said.

“The Rock Monsters we saw were part of their transformation. They have the ability to take over living humans’ bodies. They strike every human they stumble into, regardless of their gender. If they successfully land their attack, they transform the person into a Rock Monster with outstanding strength and a sturdy defense,” Mo Fan informed her.

“Huh?” Tao Jing had never heard of such a strange creature. She subconsciously looked at the violent creatures roaming nearby and said, “So you’re saying those Rock Monsters are actually my seniors? Are they going to be alright?”

“Based on the woman whom we saved in the city, these Mud Morphing Monsters are merely Possessing their victims. They will recover after we defeat the Rock Monsters. Their lives aren’t in danger, as far as I know,” Mo Fan said.

Cao Juan and Su Jindu were still alive, but they were in a feeble state. In other words, they could rescue the people who had fallen victim to the Mud Morphing Monsters by defeating the Rock Monsters they became!

However, it did not necessarily mean these creatures would never kill a human!

“We’ll bring you out of this place first,” Zhou Donghao said.

“What about them?” Tao Jing was too kind to leave on her own.

“We have no time for them. We can’t afford to fight the Rock Monsters here since we have no idea how many Rock Monsters and Mud Morphing Monsters we would attract. We’ll bring you out of here first and tell the military and the Magic Association what we have discovered. They will handle the rest,” Mo Fan said.

“Al…alright.”

——

The Rock Monsters were not very intelligent. Mo Fan was able to lure them away with a little trick. He then brought Tao Jing away from the area.

When they returned to the area with stalactites, Mo Fan noticed the Mud Morphing Monsters had already left. There was no sign of any Rock Monsters nearby, either. He used the outstanding concealing ability of the Shadow Element and successfully brought Tao Jing to the entrance.

“Damn it, those unreliable pricks, they actually left us behind after ten minutes. How are we going to get up there now?” Zhou Donghao cursed when he saw no one had stayed to receive them.

“I’ll alter the shape of the walls. We’ll climb up slowly,” Mo Fan said.

“Sure!”

Mo Fan used Earth Wave to create folds along the walls, allowing them to climb up the rocks. Even though the height of two hundred meters was a little tricky, they could still make it by climbing up slowly.

They heard a furious cry from below when they reached a height of fifty meters. They saw a Rock Monster jumping around like an ape while climbing up the walls. It jumped to the opposite wall with a strong kick, approaching them rapidly!

“A…a Rock Monster!” Zhou Donghao screamed. He quickly moved his limbs and sped himself up.

“So eager for his death? Humph!” Mo Fan scoffed when he saw the Rock Monster coming after them.

Mo Fan might have struggled against these Rock Monsters a few days ago, but he had already learned his Star Pattern now. The creature was simply courting death by approaching him directly!
