The Shadow Mage roughly explained the situation. Mo Fan asked him to bring him to the survivors. He wanted to see them.

It was getting dark, perfect for them to move around with the Shadow Element. Mo Fan followed the student across the flooded city and arrived at a school at the back of the town.

“Are they inside?” Mo Fan asked.

“Yes, but not in the buildings,” the student said.

Mo Fan and the student went inside the school. The buildings were a little old and damaged. Most kids were sent to study in bigger cities. There were not many students left in the towns.

There was a little hill behind the buildings, all covered in weed.

“There’s a bunker here,” the student pointed at an entrance that was half-submerged in the water.

Mo Fan took a closer look and noticed the hill was not just made of soil. It was stacked with sturdy rocks, too!

The bunker was serving as an emergency shelter. The water had already covered the entrance, and the hill was only around the size of a house. There was no way it had enough room to contain the people of a town.

Were the people hiding underground? It would have to be deeper than the river!

“It’s sealed off to stop the water from flowing into it. I wouldn’t have found it if I hadn’t discovered an air vent hidden under the grass,” the student said proudly, taking hold of the opportunity to show off in front of his senior.

“Well done, we’ll go inside through the air vent,” Mo Fan directed him.

“There’s a magic Barrier stopping me from going inside,” the student admitted awkwardly.

“It’s fine, come with me.”

Normal magic barriers were unable to stop Mo Fan’s Fleeing Shadow.

They flowed inside the well-hidden air vent. It was extremely deep and long. Even if the sea monsters noticed some unusual airflow in the area, they would most likely give up on exploring it, as it was disguised to look like a rat’s burrow or a snake’s hole.

They followed the meandering tunnel through some junctions, and finally reached the magic Barrier.

“Chaos Magic?” Mo Fan was surprised. The vent was disguised with a smokescreen that would trick most creatures into believing they had reached the end of the tunnel.

It explained why the sea monsters that were roaming through the town had failed to discover the tunnel.

Mo Fan and the student headed deeper and soon discovered the fan for the vent.

They went past the fan and arrived in a spacious area. Mo Fan and the student could hear soft voices.

“Someone’s here!” a nervous voice suddenly shouted.

A few Mages quickly gathered at the vent, staring at the strange shadows in front of them.

“Calm down, I’m a student of the Pearl Institute. We have come to save you!” The student revealed himself.

The Mages looked at him in surprise. Someone had finally responded to their call for help!

“Are all the folks of the town here?” Mo Fan asked directly.

The Mages had a fright. They turned around as if they had just seen a ghost.
