The moon was cold, like frost hanging above the mountain and the city.

As midnight approached, Mo Fan looked around the city. It was initially surrounded by buildings of different heights, and it looked more or less the same now, but the tall figures standing in the city were no longer buildings, but huge rock demons whose eyes were scanning the destroyed city like spotlights, searching for the food that would make them stronger.

The Mages were shivering in fear in hiding places between the buildings. They did not dare even breathe heavily. The only advantage they had was that the huge rock demons were struggling to spot them when they were in cover.

“Luckily, they didn’t have any magical ways to pick up our presence. If it was any other Warrior-level beast or demon, they could easily pick up our scent!” Lin Qihui was hidden behind a half-collapsed market. The beams of the building had happened to form a cave.

Lin Qihui and the other members of the group were hiding there, waiting for the Rock Generals nearby to leave.

Huge blasts were approaching. Dust and tiny pieces of rocks began to fall inside the cave.

“Don’t make a sound!” Lin Qihui signaled the others.

Only a massive creature could possibly make such a huge noise when moving!

Lin Qihui peeked at the opening through the crack. A thirty-meter-tall creature veined with lines of ore stood there and scanned its surroundings. It was obviously searching for weaker Mages!

Lin Qihui’s face went pale. The Rock Generals were already troublesome to deal with for them, let alone the Granite Beasts.

It was so close to him that his heart almost stopped beating.

It can’t see us, it can’t see us, it can’t see us!, Lin Qihui chanted in his heart. These elemental creatures did not have sharp senses, hence they would be safe as long as they avoided stepping into view. Their spot was secured. They had managed to hide from a few groups of Rock Monsters!

“Se…senior!” Cao Juan suddenly cried out softly.

“Be quiet!” Lin Qihui hissed.

“Look below you,” Cao Juan whispered.

Lin Qihui finally lowered his head and saw ripples surfacing on the ground covered in ash under his feet.

The ripples were like wind blowing at the dust. It was difficult to notice them without taking a closer look. However, it was obviously magic, since it was impossible for the dust to be rippling when there was no wind!

The Granite Beast initially had its back to the market, but it suddenly turned around and glanced down at the half-collapsed building.

BANG!

The Granite Beast swung its arm and knocked the debris away. The people underneath were staring at the Granite Beast in fear, like a bunch of dwarves when the roof of their house was flung open!

“How…how could this be…” Lin Qihui gasped in a trembling voice.

The Granite Beast grinned as if it was mocking them.

It did not grab the humans. It simply turned around and left. It was obvious that these weak Mages had no place in its eyes.

However, a few Rock Generals immediately surrounded them as soon as the Granite Beast left. The Rock Generals were clearly going to split the food among themselves!

Lin Qihui and the others were no longer able to fight. The Rock Generals grabbed them like majestic demon eagles hunting chicks, and absorbed the humans one-by-one into their bodies.
