“Reporting, a few Granite Beasts are blocking the path ahead! They are staying close to the Black-Silver Rock Demon. We can only engage the Black-Silver Rock Demon after taking them out,” Vice Captain Jin said.
Wen Xia glanced at Mo Fan. He asked, “How long will it take for you and your men to deal with them?”
“Ten minutes at most!” Wen Xia was very confident in her men.
“Alright, you will engage the Granite Beasts to distract the Black-Silver Rock Demon while I find a way to its back to deliver a serious blow to it. This Black-Silver Rock Demon is the weakest among them, so we shouldn’t waste too much time on it,” Mo Fan said.
The most annoying thing about these monsters was their ability to absorb humans, so if they were unable to eliminate the monsters quicker than they were absorbing humans, the city was done for. Therefore, they had to pick up their pace of eliminating the creatures. They could not allow these creatures to keep evolving by absorbing the Mages in the city!
“Alright, we’ll engage it from the front ten minutes from now. Please inflict some serious damage on it,” Wen Xia nodded.
Wen Xia had yet to witness Mo Fan’s true strength, but she still had lingering fear of almost being injured by Mo Fan’s magic when she was Sealing his Elements. This Mo Fan might be stronger than the rumors had mentioned!
Mo Fan took a different route and left. Deputy Lieutenant Hou harrumphed and said, “He indeed ran away when the situation didn’t favor us. We can never rely on these young Mages.”
“It’s not like we are relying on him in the first place. Come, let’s not waste our time here.”

Mo Fan followed the stairs down and crossed a street that was at a lower level to find his way to the back of the Black-Silver Rock Demon.
A figure suddenly appeared as soon as he entered the debris-covered street while trying to find a way to avoid the Rock Generals and Granite Beasts. The figure immediately dragged him into an alley.
“Fan Mo, I finally found you. Did you manage to save Tao Jing? How are the others?” Lin Qihui was so nervous that he was speaking incoherently.
“Senior…Senior Lin?” It took Mo Fan a while to recognize Lin Qihui’s face.
“Shhh!” Lin Qihui immediately told him to keep his voice down with a gesture. He quickly scanned the surroundings and said, “I…I barely escaped from a Granite Beast. Don’t you set me up!”
“Oh, where are the others?” Mo Fan asked.
Lin Qihui briefly explained what happened to the group after they returned to the city. They were able to help at first by taking out one or two Rock Monsters, but the numbers of the creatures kept increasing rapidly. The students had no choice but to hide and run for their lives.
However, Lin Qihui did not expect the Granite Beasts to have the ability to pick up slight movements from vibrations on the ground, enabling them to hunt down the Mages that were hiding.
“You’re saying that the Granite Beasts are able to locate where the Mages are hiding by sensing the vibrations from the ground?” Mo Fan was surprised.
