It was very important to kill the Bronze-Fang Hillmen. These Hillmen were good at commanding their troops, and they were only able to do so because of their leader. The battle would be a lot easier if they could take out their leader!
"Is that the guy you mentioned?" Shao Ru suddenly pointed at a Hillman hiding in a hollow in a tree.
The battle below was too chaotic. It was difficult to find a specific target. Mofan glanced in the direction she was pointing at and was surprised to see the Bronze-Fang Hillman!
The Bronze-Fang Hillman was hiding there sneakily. He did not see it making any moves, but it was very close to one of the captains. It seemed like it was planning to kill the man with a single blow.
"That guy only knows how to ambush people. Speaking of which, how did you notice it?" Mofan asked.
"My heart is beating. The other Hillmen are beating very fast, but it's like that guy isn't even there. I'm good at listening to the heartbeat, so it's rare for a living creature to escape my ears, "Shao Ru said.
"That's a great help!" Mofan stared at the Bronze-Fang Hillman coldly.
He could finally get his revenge. This time, Mofan was going to make it suffer even more!
"Zhao Manyan, bring them to the main group. It's safer there. I'll take out the Bronze-Fang Hillman!" Mofan said.
"Seriously, why am I being the babysitter again while you're playing the hero?" Zhao Manyan grumbled.
"Fine, I'll bring them to a safe place. You go and take out the Bronze-Fang Hillman," Mofan said.
"I'll be the babysitter."
…
Mofan was not worried about Zhao Manyan's safety. Even if they had to cross the bloody battlefield, they would be surrounded by at least seven or eight Bronze-Fang Hillmen, or even a thousand Hillmen. They would not be able to break through his tortoise shell.
"I'll go with you," Shao Ru said firmly.
"How are your injuries?" Mofan asked.
"I'm fine."
Liu Xiaojia's Healing Spell was able to heal her injuries easily.
Mofan knew how strong Shao Ru was. It would be a lot easier for him to travel across the battlefield with a Sound Mage around. >
"Mofan, be careful," Ling Ling suddenly said with a serious face.
"What's wrong? Do you have a bad premonition?" Mofan asked.
Ling Ling was a super think tank. She could analyze a lot of things, but if things were too complicated and she didn't have enough information, she would make a lot of assumptions. Naturally, there would be a lot of bad things in these assumptions. When she couldn't explain them completely, she would deliberately remind Mofan.
"Yeah, there are some things that I can't explain. Anyway, be careful!" Ling Ling said.
"Okay, I promise you. If the situation is not right, we'll run." Mofan smiled and pinched the little beauty's cheeks.
Strangely, Ling Ling wasn't dissatisfied this time. However, she didn't seem to be allowing Mofan to pinch her cheeks. Instead, she was deep in thought.
…
Mofan and Shao Ru changed their direction. They were planning to reach the area above the Bronze-Fang Hillman and jump down from the tree to catch it off guard.
Mofan and Shao Ru would have to pass by the territory of the demon sparrows. With Shao Ru around, they could easily avoid the demon sparrows with her Sound Magic.
"Run when the situation isn't right? Are you a professional? Aren't you supposed to be a hero? "Shao Ru seemed to be familiar with Mofan's past. She suddenly turned around and asked.
"I'm telling you, there's no such thing as a hero. Most of the time, when someone is about to drown in a river, you have a dog that can't swim, a cat that ignores you, and a woman that only knows how to scream. You're the only one left who knows how to swim, so you have no choice but to go. I'm stuck between the line of selfishness, because I can't turn a blind eye to the situation, and I don't want to take the risk and drown with you, "Mofan said.
"What kind of bullshit theory is that?" Shao Ru snapped.
"Simply put, I won't be an idiot if someone is stronger than me. I will run if I'm going to die for sure!" Mofan said.
"But I heard the situation at the Ancient Capital was extremely dangerous, yet didn't you still step forward?" Shao Ru said.
"Oh, it's because I was going to die either way, so I chose to die standing up," Mofan said.
"…" Shao Ru was lost for words.
Shao Ru had been wearing a cold expression the whole time. She did not show much enthusiasm when Mo Fan had saved her life. As a matter of fact, Shao Ru had known about Mo Fan for a long time, since he was ranked fifth in the Innate Talent Ranking. She had also heard about him during the World College Tournament, and when he was named the hero of the Calamity of the Ancient Capital. Shao Ru had imagined the man to be a dignified man with a lofty aura, like he was a leader who could pass judgment on the world. Otherwise, how could he possibly achieve so many unbelievable things?
She did not expect to meet the legendary man when she was about to die from serious injuries. The guy was no different from those perverted men. He was perverted, lecherous, and pretentious. His words left her speechless. When he was talking to his friend, Zhao Manyan, his words were filthy and disgusting.
As a matter of fact, the two reputable representatives of the national team were utterly disfigured in front of Shao Ru. Shao Ru's competitiveness and curiosity were greatly diminished. She was hoping to prove herself by defeating one or two representatives of the national team …
"A calamity that even a Forbidden Mage was struggling to save was resolved by a Mage like you. You are extraordinarily lucky," Shao Ru said.
"It's not luck." Mofan was displeased by Shao Ru's words. He knew many people were biased against him, too. He added, "It's just that you people are used to giving the credit to someone with a certain name, and then purposely portray the person as a hero to remind everyone of the great deeds. I happened to come first in the World College Tournament, so when Old Han Ji announced it, many people subconsciously assumed I was the one who did it. Do you want to know the details? "Mofan responded to Shao Ru's bias while walking.
"Go ahead," Shao Ru was indeed curious.
"The Clock Tower Magic Association decided to activate the Guillotine Plan. They were sacrificing the lives of ten authorities in exchange for Salan's life. That's ten Super Mages we're talking about. Their achievements and status are outstanding … it was because it was the only time they were the closest to Salan, the Red Cardinal of the Black Vatican! The Black Vatican compromised and traded Salan's life for the secret of the Dark Abyss, giving the Ancient Capital a chance to survive. "In order to reach the Dark Abyss, we did some inhumane things. We sacrificed the lives of innocent people to lure the undead away. Those people weren't Mages, and they were defenseless. They simply allowed the undead to bite them, just to draw the attention of the vanguard team. "The vanguard team only planned to reach the entrance of the Dark Abyss, but they didn't plan to return. My friend and I were protected at the center of the team. They didn't allow us to cast any spells. They only asked us to try our best to find the Ancestor of the Undead once we reached the Dark Abyss. As we made our way to the Dark Abyss, the people around us died one after another. There were Intermediate Mages, Advanced Mages, and Super Mages. I don't remember many of their names, but I do know that life was the cheapest back then. They didn't even bother to look at their closest comrades who had died … I don't think I could do the same as them. I'm more afraid of death than they were. Unfortunately, I was the one being protected, and I happened to be able to enter the Dark Abyss …"
"So many people died. Not many people would remember them. Everyone volunteered to join the battle, so no one knew their names. They're all dead, but I'm still alive. That's why the title of a great hero suddenly fell on my head. As it passed on, it was as if it was my credit alone … Forget it, I don't have that ability. What I'm most proud of is that I defeated all the experts from the various academies around the world. I don't think I was responsible for the incident at the Ancient Capital. Besides, I wasn't the one that saved the Ancient Capital. They didn't even mention his name. "
Shao Ru was stunned by Mo Fan's words. She turned around and looked at Mofan. She saw Mofan's face turning pale as he explained the details of the incident.
"I'm sorry," said Shao Ru.
"You seem to be obsessed with the incident at the Ancient Capital. Did any of your family members die there?" asked Mofan. He could tell that Shao Ru was overly concerned about the incident.
"My father was there, but he wasn't a Mage. I've heard too many things about you. Every time I hear about it, I'm reminded of the letter he left for me … "said Shao Ru.
"What did the letter say?"
"He said he did what a man should do. Even though it was insignificant, he didn't regret it," said Shao Ru.
"Was he part of the bait?" Mofan was startled, but he soon collected his thoughts.
"I went to the Ancient Capital to kill the person who made the decision to use the people as bait. I spent a long time looking for him, but I found out he was part of the team too … I finally realized how difficult it was to survive in the Ancient Capital," said Shao Ru.
Mofan finally understood why Shao Ru was so dissatisfied with him after he saved her life.
Her father had died without a name, while she was living with glory.
She was apologizing for her bias.
"Let's not talk about the past. Let's take care of the problem at hand first," Mofan pointed below them.
They had passed through the demon sparrow's territory and arrived above the Bronze-Fang Hillman. The Bronze-Fang Hillman was unaware that two pairs of eyes were staring at it from the tree layer above.
"We'll make our move when there are fewer Hillmen around it," said Shao Ru.
"Mm, but be careful. I have the same feeling as Ling Ling. I have a strange feeling about the whole incident …" said Mofan.
"Why is that?"
"The Dandelion Grass didn't fly here because of the Hillmen … the question is, what is helping the Hillmen hunt humans?" said Mofan.
