Major General Gangma was leaning against an old tree trunk. He chuckled when he saw Mofan and the others had nowhere to go.
"Seriously, you didn't want to take the path to Heaven. Do you know who you are going up against now? Your only chance of survival is to serve me well and hand the little girl over to me. Send me back to the army, and you might still have a chance of survival! "Gangma said arrogantly.
Mofan could not enter Cairo, nor could he leave the city. The Medusae were watching them like tigers watching their prey. They would be surrounded by the Medusae as soon as they left the outskirts of Cairo. First of all, the Medusae had infuriated them, and second of all, the Curse of the Medusae would keep attracting the Medusae.
They could neither leave nor enter Cairo. At this rate, the Curse of the Medusae would only grow stronger. It would be easier for the Medusae to track them down.
Mofan went up to Gangma and asked, "Are your bones itching again?"
Gangma was a little scared of Mofan. Mofan's Dark Material was a torture to him. Even though Gangma did not reveal any important secrets, he did not want to be tortured again.
"Why don't we send this guy back? I'm not sure how my students are doing," Mentor Vani said after a slight hesitation.
As an intern teacher, he would have to take full responsibility if anything happened to his students. Vani was already panicking when the army put them on the wanted list. He might be a Super Mage, but he was just a teacher without much authority. He was nothing compared to the generals and commanders!
Vani was well aware of who he could afford to offend and who he could not afford to offend. He knew he was in deep trouble now.
"Send him back? Do you really think the Egyptian army will go easy on us? They didn't even ask who we were before attacking us. It simply means they don't care who we are. It's safer for them to eliminate us, "Mofan said.
Compromise?
Compromising was equivalent to handing over one's life and dignity to someone else. This was the method that Mofan disliked the most.
"But if we keep wasting time like this, we'll still die. It'll be fine if only some big snakes show up, but once the Red Snake Medusa finds us, we'll be doomed," Vani said.
"This teacher still has some brains. Don't worry, you're from the European University Institute. There's no need for us to offend such a big school. Forget what you saw and hand the girl over to us. I promise you that you'll be able to leave Egypt in one piece. We can even give you the information you need for the exam in the form of medals. You can bring our glory back to the school, "Gangma said.
"Shut up!" Mofan kicked Gangma in the chest, almost causing him to cough up blood.
"What are you doing? Torturing him won't do us any good. I don't think it's a bad idea to leave him a way out," Vani said.
Mofan ignored Vani. He went up to the sky. The sun was setting in the west. Dusk was the time when the Medusae were the most active. The Curse of the Medusae would spread further. It was going to be another bloody battle.
Apas was half-crouched on the ground. She stared at the red setting sun. Her face was glamorous under the light. However, there was not much light in her clean and beautiful eyes.
"Big brother, did I bring you a lot of trouble?" Apas asked softly.
Apas had heard Gangma's words. She was the cause of the whole incident. The Egyptian army could let Mofan and the others go. After all, their strength and background were not to be underestimated, but the army would not allow a special person like her to leave alive. They could not afford to let anyone know that they were raising a young Medusa. If it was made public, it would stir great chaos in Egypt and the rest of the world!
"I've encountered more trouble than you. This is nothing," Mofan patted her messy head.
Apas slowly lifted her head and stared at Mofan. She stared at him for a long time. Mofan felt a little awkward.
Apas was indeed very pretty. Mofan was stunned by her appearance when he first saw her. He was even more convinced that she was the Medusa of the Medusa Clan. She was pure yet charming. Her temperament was extraordinarily seductive even though she was a pure young woman.
Mo Fan shifted his gaze away, to prevent himself from showing that he was captivated.
"Do you like me?" Apas asked seriously.
"Huh? Why would you ask that!? "Mofan was startled.
"Why are you protecting me if you don't like me?" Apas asked.
"…" Mofan was amused by the question. He explained, "It has nothing to do with whether I like you or not. I'm a human with flesh and blood. Just like most people, I hate cruel and ugly things like this. Even though the world is full of them, and I can't eliminate them one by one like a righteous warrior, I can't just pretend that nothing happened since I've stumbled into it. "
"Oh, so you're saying that it has nothing to do with me? Big brother would do the same even if it was someone else, right?" Apas asked.
"Something like that, but this is a world where looks matter. I'll treat those who are good-looking more seriously and have stronger beliefs," Mofan said.
"…" Heidi was not far away. She was quite touched when she heard Mofan's first sentence. Her impression of Mofan had completely changed. However, to her surprise, Heidi firmly believed that the guy was still a pervert through and through!
"This is the last bottle. It should allow us to survive the night safely," Mubai came up to them and handed them a bottle of diluted potion.
Mubai had concocted a potion that could suppress the Curse of the Snake Eyes with some ingredients. Unfortunately, it could only buy them some time. It was not enough to get rid of the Curse of the Snake Eyes.
"Let's get some rest today. There will be a lot of battles tomorrow. Rest well," Mofan said.
Mubai nodded. They had not rested for the past few days. They were even injured by the military. Their bodies and minds were going to collapse if they kept going.
…
The group found a safe place to rest. The Medusae did not find them when dusk arrived. It meant that the potion Mubai had concocted was still effective.
