"My resources, my resources!!" the merchant cried out in pain.
Half of the Camel Beasts in the group were the resources that the merchants had spent a lot of effort to transport. They were obviously in short supply in the war zone, thus they could be sold for a good price. However, the Camel Beasts at the back seemed to have been paralyzed by the snake venom. They gradually slowed down and stopped in their tracks, panting heavily.
The Medusae that caught up to them were not too interested in the Camel Beasts, but they would not reject the offer of meat. They immediately wrapped their bodies around the Camel Beasts and swallowed them whole!
The Camel Beasts were almost the size of a jeep, yet the Medusae were able to swallow them whole. It was obvious how terrifying their size was. Many of the Medusae had already fainted from fright. Their bodies were hanging on the backs of the Camel Beasts!
"Quick, let's not care about those things!" The leader decisively led the group up the ravine when he saw that no one was left behind.
The ravine was built with rocks to form a simple line of defense. The Camel Beasts knew they would be safe once they crossed the line. They immediately ran with all their might!
"Are you all a bunch of idiots? Cairo is already under lockdown. Not only are you trying to force your way in, you even lured the Medusae Mountain here. Do you think I won't kill you all right now!?" a man in a military coat cursed furiously.
He was a Commander with a badge on his shoulder. Cairo was already in a mess, yet the black-hearted merchants were still trying to make a profit out of it. Now that the Medusae Mountain had been lured in, they would still have to fend them off!
"We've already entered the city. You should be protecting us. It's your duty!" the merchant said.
The Commander was infuriated, yet he had no choice but to wave his hand and order his Mages to cast an Ice Spell!
There was a large group of Ice Magicians on the defensive line of this long trench. When they collectively cast a Freezing Array, the entire trench was covered in white frost. The layer of ice soon became more than a meter thick!
The Medusae were afraid of the Ice Spell. They were unable to maintain their body temperature in such a cold place. They could easily freeze to death!
Snow and ice danced wildly as the cold wind blew. The Snakes of Snake Mountain did not dare to cross the long line of defense. They only propped themselves up and stared at the humans on the other side with their vicious eyes, with a hint of unwillingness!
"That's great, we're safe now." Halla let out a long sigh of relief as his body slumped onto the ground.
"My resources." The merchant, on the other hand, was sullen. He had lost almost half of his assets. Those things were not as cheap as his life. He had worked so hard to get them, but in the end, he had only made a small profit!
"You're still thinking about those things? It's good enough that you're still alive," Sofia scoffed at the merchant's profit-seeking ways.
Mo Fan turned around and looked at the Black Medusae that had yet to disperse. He subconsciously glanced at the leader of the mercenaries, Chad.
He had to admit that the method he had used had saved a lot of people. There were around eighty people in the group without any magic. Only a Super Mage like Brianca would be able to guarantee everyone's safety. There were just too many Medusae on the mountain, especially the male and female Medusae. Their bodies were dark red. Not only were they extremely poisonous, they were also savage Commander-level creatures. They posed a great threat to the group!
"Moo ~ ~ ~ ~ ~!!!!"
"Moo!"
A few deep cries suddenly came from the other side of the ravine while everyone was still lingering in fear.
The leader of the mercenaries, Chad, who was about to leave, came to a stop. He turned around and saw a horned beast among the Medusae. Not only was its body covered in blood, the Black Medusae were still hanging on it!
The horned beast had an outstanding vitality. Its outer shell had been bitten off, yet it was still running toward the ravine with all its might. Its blood left a long trail behind it as it stumbled …
"Pierce!" The leader of the mercenaries blurted out in disbelief. His body was trembling heavily.
He thought his Contracted Beast was already dead. No creature could possibly survive the attacks of the Medusae. However, when he took a closer look, he realized that the vicious Black Medusae could have easily killed the Steel-Armored Horned Beast, yet they insisted on tearing its flesh off to torture the poor Summoned Beast slowly!
They were torturing the living creature. They would let it run away, chase after it, and bite it a few times. They would then let it run away, and surround it again to torture it …
Chad might have accepted his fate if his Contracted Beast had died, but he completely lost his mind when he saw his Contracted Beast being tortured by the Black Medusae!
"Assh * * *! I'm going to kill you all! "Chad yelled furiously.
Chad had already charged out from the defensive rampart. The densely packed Medusae were no longer as scary in his eyes. The only thing he could not stand was the fact that they had abandoned their Summoned Beast like a coward!
"Captain, don't do it!"
"Captain, you're going to get yourself killed, we've already completed our mission …"
The other mercenaries immediately went up to stop the leader when they saw him charging forward recklessly. However, they were too late. Chad had already reached the bottom of the ravine. He continued to charge at the Medusae without any hesitation!
"He's crazy, he's out of his mind. Why can't he just buy another Contracted Beast with money … well, it's fine too, we won't have to pay him a cent less if he dies," the merchant was confused by Chad's actions.
The others also looked at this tough old man, not knowing what to say for a moment.
He was basically committing suicide. Even the army would not dare to charge into the Medusae like that …
"Who's going to stop him!" One of the mercenaries pleaded.
"Mofan is going," Zhao Manyan said.
"That's great, we have to stop the captain!"
…
At the bottom of the ravine, Chad was about to make his way up when a black figure suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his path.
"You're committing suicide," Mofan said to Chad.
"I've already brought you all there safely. It's none of your business what I'm going to do. Piss off!" Chad snapped furiously at Mofan, his eyes red.
BANG! Mofan did not waste any time talking to Chad. His eyes glittered as a silver energy burst out of them. His powerful Telekinesis struck Chad and sent him flying.
Chad flew up in a parabola and landed back on the safety of the rock wall.
The mercenaries were well aware of their captain's temper. They quickly went up to stop him from doing something as stupid as that.
"Student, come up here, it's just as dangerous there," Mentor Vani said to Mofan out of kindness.
Mofan did not go up. He turned around and looked at the Medusae that were poking their heads out of the ravine. The area above was almost completely covered by the menacing Medusae, yet he did not move. He was not afraid at all.
"You're too weak. You're only going to die if you go. I'll save him, since you've done your job so diligently … "Mofan stood still. His dust-proof coat was flapping wildly in the wind. The Lightning Tyrant had yet to arrive, but a dangerous aura had already swept across the place!
The mercenaries' job was to protect the others. Mofan remembered that at the airport of New Suez, they barely managed to send the people on the plane to the army despite Brianca's help. However, the situation today was obviously a lot more dangerous than before. Even with the help of the people of the European University Institute, they might not be able to protect everyone from the Medusae Mountain …
However, an Intermediate Mage had done it. He had used his Contracted Beast to buy time for the people who were too weak to even truss a chicken to escape.
The man was an outstanding mercenary. Even though what he had done was cruel to his Contracted Beast, he had still fulfilled his duty. He did not leave anyone behind and brought everyone to Cairo safely. He was worthy of respect!
Some people were worthy of respect. They were not from famous institutions, nor were they from renowned clans, but they were still able to uphold their duty despite the cruel reality …
"Lightning Realm!"
Under Mo Fan's command, a thick, dark energy descended from the sky, forming arcs of lightning that produced sparks as they collided with the air. There were more than ten of them, and each of them was so tall that the top of the lightning arcs could not be seen.
The lightning arcs did not disappear in a flash. They lingered around Mofan like black dragons protecting their emperor.
As Mo Fan walked toward the Medusae, the lightning arcs followed him. More than ten lightning arcs swept across the ground, leaving scorched ravines in the ground …
The Black Medusae widened their eyes when they saw the human that was not even enough to fill the gaps between their teeth walking toward them. A few young Black Medusae that were clueless about their strength summoned black gusts of wind and lunged at Mofan fearlessly!
PA! Pai!!! "
The black Medusae broke into blood droplets as soon as they came into contact with the lightning arcs.
More Black Medusae charged forward. The Battlemages in the safe zone gasped when they saw this. However, the Black Medusae that were trying to break through Mofan's Lightning Tyrant Domain were all disintegrated. A huge pool of blood scattered around Mofan. It was bright red and eye-catching!
Zhao Manyan exclaimed when he saw the imperious Mofan, who was as imperious as a deity, "Impressive!"
