Following a huge blast, the dark red forest exploded into flames. The Hellish Flame Boulder left a huge pit with a diameter of over a hundred meters. Bai Hongfei's eyes widened when he saw how destructive the boulder was.
They were both Advanced Mages, yet the difference between their strengths was so huge. His spells could not even penetrate the Carnelian-Head Spider's armor, yet his teacher's spell was able to inflict serious damage on a Commander-level creature!
"Squeak squeak ~"
The Carnelian-Head Spider's head was smashed into pieces in the pit. A few of its limbs were broken, too. It rose to its feet in a panic and tried to flee deeper into the forest.
There was no way Mofan would let it escape. Lightning arcs flickered on his palm. A stormy cloud swiftly appeared above the Carnelian-Head Spider, flickering with lightning.
"Sky …" Mofan was about to use the Sky Lightning Claw to eliminate the threat when countless blue things suddenly flew out from the woods.
Mofan did not make his move right away. Lightning arcs accumulated on the cloud.
"Puff puff puff puff ~"
The blue things were moths. They had no idea where they had come from. They lunged at the Carnelian-Head Spider as if they were sworn enemies when they saw the Carnelian-Head Spider in serious condition.
They blocked the Carnelian-Head Spider's escape route, then released green light in groups. These light rays had the effect of sharp blades, and they viciously cut into the parts of the Carnelian-Head Spider's armor that were festering.
The Carnelian-Head Spider cried out in agony. Normally, the moths would not be able to inflict any damage on it with its armor. Most importantly, if the moths dared to come within three hundred meters of the Carnelian-Head Spider, its web would catch them all. Not a single one of them would be able to escape.
However, the Carnelian-Head Spider's body was still covered in flames. Its heads were struggling to spit out silk.
Mofan and Bai Hongfei stood still and watched the moths attacking the Carnelian-Head Spider furiously. Dark red blood splattered on the moths, dying their blue bodies an eerie red.
"It seems like they have been holding a grudge against the Carnelian-Head Spider for a long time," Mofan said.
Yu Shishi said the Carnelian-Head Spider is their natural enemy, "Bai Hongfei said.
"Yu Shishi said so. Wait, did you meet that woman?" Mofan was startled. He looked at Bai Hongfei.
"Yeah, Yu Shishi was the one who told me about the Carnelian-Head Spider. I didn't expect it... Oh, teacher, Yu Shishi.. she used the Carnelian-Head Spider's poison.......... the Carnelian-Head Carnelian-Head Spider......... the kids in the East gate were knocked out because of the poison in the water," Bai, "Bai Hongfei...... on the Carnelian-Head Carnelian-Head.
... com.... com...... com......
"Yeah, it's great now. The Carnelian-Head Spider is dead. Everything is settled now. It seems like a lot of moths are trapped here. They have all regained their freedom. Yu Shishi must be very happy to see them," Bai Hongfei smiled despite the pain in his arm.
He raised his head and looked at the canopy of the forest around him. With the death of the carnelian-head spider, the spider webs had lost their magic. Many of the moths trapped in the forest flew up. These little green creatures were like green clothes in the hazy night sky. They looked so beautiful.
Mo Fan saw it too. A huge number of Blue-Clothed Moths were trapped in the dark red woods. More Blue-Clothed Moths rose into the air, and flew in a certain direction as if they were being summoned …
"Teacher, let's go back too. I didn't expect you to be so strong at such a young age. I always thought you were just here to make up the numbers," Bai Hongfei said with a grin.
Even though he had taken the Blood Serums, the pain did not ease. He picked up his broken arm to reattach it.
Bai Hongfei could not help but feel excited when he imagined the kind, gentle smile that was about to blossom on Yu Shishi's face. Everything he had done was worth it if he could win her heart. Besides, he was confident that he would be able to graduate with Excellence. Not only would he be able to complete his mission, he would also be able to save the Blue Town from being poisoned. It would be a great contribution!
"Teacher, isn't the problem solved? Why are you frowning?" Bai Hongfei looked at Mofan and asked in confusion.
"Don't you think? Are there too many of them? "Mofan pointed at the moths flying in the sky.
The green was like a feather, and it was as beautiful as a painting made entirely out of pure green. Coupled with the faint lights of the distant Green Town, it made everything even more stunning.
However, Mofan could not bring himself to be happy …
Meanwhile, in the main building of the Blue Town, a strong gust of wind blew past, blowing the hair of the woman who was tied to a pillar. Her pure, beautiful face was slightly pale. She had a pitiful look. However, when she raised her head and saw a magnificent blue robe approaching her from the distance, a smile gradually appeared on her face. The smile slowly widened into a sinister, arrogant, and terrifying grin!
"I'm going to make every one of you die a horrible death!"
…
…
"Puff puff puff puff ~"
Not long after, the entire Green Town Administration Building was enveloped by the green Gale Moths. The City Hunters rushed out with faces full of fear. However, the green moths were so dense that even their vision was blocked. They wanted to rush into the compound and stop the moths, but they couldn't stop them at all.
Yu Shishi regained her freedom after the ice chains were broken. She tiptoed over Captain Feng Guangkuang's corpse.
"Puff puff puff puff ~"
The moths quickly gathered under Yu Shishi's feet and formed a blue carpet. They slowly lifted Yu Shishi into the air like a queen.
Yu Shishi stepped on the moths and soared into the night sky. She slowly stepped on the lights of the Blue Town under her feet. The blue moths within a kilometer of the town were filled with moths. Some of the bigger moths were gathering in the distance too. The whole town was soon shrouded in a terrifying cloud of moths. From afar, it looked like an enormous blue beast had opened its mouth and swallowed the tiny town in a single gulp!
The powder of the blue moths scattered across the town with a strong aroma and a deadly poison. The people of the town fainted before they could even touch a single moth …
More and more people fell to the ground. It was as if they had fallen asleep. Not long after, there were cyan moths on each of the fallen people. They did not cruelly tear these people apart. Instead, they were like butterflies collecting honey. They were collecting something from each person's body!
…
Outside the town, Mofan and Bai Hongfei were making their way back to the Blue Town as quickly as they could.
Mo Fan's students quickly left the water and gathered in the town when they saw the great changes taking place in the town.
"Teacher, the moths are everywhere. What should we do? They seem to be attacking the people in the town!" Zhou Lixin blurted out in a panic.
The other students could not believe it either. They had no idea what was going on.
"They are most likely going to save Yu Shishi. They won't attack the people in the town …" Bai Hongfei said.
"Idiot, how dare you trust her!" Mofan suddenly scolded.
"Teacher …" Bai Hongfei was startled.
"That Yu Shishi is a vicious monster. She's using you to carry out her plan. Damn it, why didn't I think of the Carnelian-Head Spider as Yu Shishi's natural enemy? It's the most important weapon to keep Yu Shishi at bay!" Mofan cursed.
Mofan was cursing himself too.
When they were at Dongting Lake, Li Man had told him that powerful demon beasts were hostile to one another. It was because of this that the human cities were able to enjoy some peace. Sometimes, the military would purposely spare the lives of key demon beasts so that certain species of demon beasts would not overpopulate in order to prevent them from losing the balance of their territories!
Natural enemy, every creature had a natural enemy. Otherwise, there would be chaos, just like the Sandstorm Demon Locusts. The Sandstorm Demon Locusts were a species that did not have any natural enemies, especially the Sandstorm Demon Locusts that had mutated with fire …
Similarly, the moths had already occupied the area for a long time. Under Yu Shishi's lead, they were running rampant. Didn't the Carnelian-Head Spider only show up so close to the safe zone because the moths were its food?
The Carnelian-Head Spider was able to control the number of moths and suppress Yu Shishi's moths. It was the reason why the Blue Town was able to remain peaceful!
However, Bai Hongfei had just inflicted serious damage on the Carnelian-Head Spider. He had basically eliminated Yu Shishi's natural enemy. Countless moths had regained their freedom and were flying wildly in the sky. If they went crazy, the people in the town would have to pay the price with their lives. Demon creatures were demon creatures after all. It was their instinct to eat humans. It had nothing to do with her beauty!
Mofan never thought Yu Shishi was a good person. However, since she did not harm Bai Hongfei, Mofan decided to observe her for a while. To his surprise, Yu Shishi was so cunning and vicious. She had used the inexperienced Bai Hongfei to eliminate her natural enemy.
It seemed like Yu Shishi was trying to use him too, but she soon realized that he was not that gullible. It was true that Mofan did not trust Yu Shishi at all. He only had himself to blame for not considering the natural enemy. He had recklessly inflicted serious damage on the Carnelian-Head Spider!
"How is this possible … how is this possible …" Bai Hongfei was utterly lost. He could not believe that Yu Shishi would lie to him.
However, the truth was right in front of him. Bai Hongfei was on the verge of losing his mind when he realized that he was the reason why the town was in danger.
"She used the moths to stop the flow of the water. She must have learned about Dean Xiao's plan to set up the Water Circulation Formation. Once the formation is set up, the barrier will stop her moths from attacking the town!" Mofan clenched his teeth. He was enraged.
The whole thing had been fairly simple. The City Hunters had not caught the wrong person, and the townspeople had not done anything wrong, either. However, someone had believed Yu Shishi's appearance and her temperament.
"Master, I'm sorry, I should have listened to you and kept an eye on Bai Hongfei," Cao Qinqin burst into tears.
She did not expect things to turn out like this.
"It's useless to say that now. Go and find that smug mentor and ask him to activate the Water Circulation Formation. The rest of you, find a way to make the water flow faster so more water will flow into the formation … I'll deal with Yu Shishi and buy her some time. She must have been secretly absorbing the energy of the townspeople to strengthen herself. Now that her natural enemy is gone, her moths are free. She has already started absorbing the energy of the townspeople openly. The townspeople are still alive. It's not too late to save them! "Mofan said.
