Mofan had seen the person before. She was Wen Xia, who had applied the Seal to the group at the entrance.
Wen Xia walked over and glanced at Mofan. She did not say a word, but went straight to the Rock Monster.
"How arrogant," Mofan snapped, staring at Wen Xia's back.
The Rock Monster had been causing a ruckus in the western suburbs for quite some time, and the military had only just stepped forward to deal with it. If it weren't for him buying some time, someone would have died by now. The Basic and Intermediate Mages who were only watching from the sidelines had no chance against the monster.
Mofan walked toward the Rock Monster's corpse. There was a pile of rocks at the end of the street. It was obvious that the Rock Monster had died.
"Squeak!"
Suddenly, there was a movement in the pile of rocks. Mo Fan's sharp eyes noticed the movement, and he cursed in his heart.
"Look out!" Mofan went up and shoved Wen Xia aside.
There was a kind of sand monster in Egypt, too. They would stick back together and continue to attack travelers even after their bodies were smashed into pieces. Many inexperienced Mages had died tragically at the hands of the sand monsters, who had no idea when they were going to die.
Mofan knew the Rock Monster was going to rise again when he saw the rocks moving, even though it did not seem to be alive.
As a matter of fact, Mo Fan was quite strong. His push almost sent Wen Xia flying.
Fortunately, Officer Wen Xia was quite agile. After swaying a few times, she actually did a backflip and landed steadily on the ground.
"What are you doing!?" Wen Xia lifted her head. Her attractive face was filled with anger.
"You should thank me for saving …" Mofan pointed at the pile of rocks. He was about to say that he had saved Wen Xia's life when he saw a person slowly crawling out from the pile of rocks.
It was a skinny middle-aged woman. Her clothes were covered in a thick layer of dust, like a cocoon. The dust slowly fell off as she rolled down the pile of rocks.
Mofan stared at the middle-aged woman. It took him quite some time to collect his thoughts.
Someone rolled out from inside?
What was going on? Could it be that the Stone Monster was actually the woman?
He had never heard of any magic that could transform a person into a rock!
The middle-aged woman was short and skinny, a huge contrast to the tank-like body of the Rock Monster.
"You two, carry her away and confirm her identity." Officer Wen Xia glared at Mofan before calling for the two soldiers who had arrived late to take the middle-aged woman away.
Mofan was still in a daze. Seeing that Officer Wen Xia was about to leave, he immediately stopped her.
"What's going on? Why are there living people among the Rock Monsters?" Mofan asked.
The woman inside the Rock Monster was still alive. Mofan had just confirmed that she was very weak, as if she had just gone through a great battle.
"You don't need to know that much," Officer Wen Xia said.
"You were too slow. I risked my life to stop the Rock Monster and distract it, so no one was injured in the area. I have the right to know what's going on with the woman inside!" Mo Fan did not back off. He stopped the woman in her tracks.
"Risked your life?" Officer Wen Xia seemed to find Mofan's choice of words quite amusing. She grinned like a man and said, "A monster like that is no threat to you, like a baby!"
"It doesn't matter if it's a threat to me or not," Mofan said.
"You're asking me why, and I want to know the reason, too. If you can find out the reason, please tell me when you're at the military headquarters. We'll reward you handsomely," Officer Wen Xia said.
Wen Xia did not pay any further attention to Mo Fan. She left with the middle-aged woman, leaving the street in a mess.
Mofan frowned. He was feeling uneasy.
If the Rock Monster was an Elemental Creature, it would turn into a pile of lifeless rocks after it died. Unless the Rock Monster had swallowed the middle-aged woman, why would she run out like that?
"No, that can't be right, if the Rock Monster had swallowed the woman, the Mountain Drill Top would have penetrated the woman's body too!"
Mofan found it strange. He went to the rampart to check on the situation.
The battle at the ravine seemed to have come to an end. Mofan saw a few Mages cleaning up the place, but they did not find any useful information.
"How strange!"
Mofan grumbled and headed back the way he came.
There were many strange things that had happened. Mofan did not know everything. He would have to wait until the Rock Monster showed up again to find out more.
…
Mo Fan returned to Tao Jing and Lin Qihui. Lin Qihui was treating Tao Jing's wounds like a considerate man. Mofan glanced at Tao Jing's wounds. Many of them were still bleeding.
"Use my medicine," Wang Yao said. Mofan took out a bottle of self-healing medicine and gave it to Tao Jing. "Just drink it, it's vanilla."
"Don't tell me you're giving her a bottle of the drink?" Lin Qihui asked.
"Yeah, it's just to calm her nerves. I didn't expect you to be so brave in such a crucial moment, despite your gentle appearance," Mofan complimented her.
"It's useless to be brave. I've brought you a lot of trouble." Tao Jing accepted the tasty drink from Mofan. She was indeed thirsty, so she drank it without hesitation.
"It's worth it to save one person," Lin Qihui smiled.
"Two people," Tao Jing said.
"Two people? Oh, you mean the one that came out from the Rock Monster's corpse … it gave me such a fright, "Lin Qihui said.
"It feels like the woman is trapped inside the Rock Monster's body. I heard that a lot of Mages have gone missing in the city recently. I believe we can find out who the woman is if we take a look at the list of missing people," Tao Jing said.
Trapped inside the Rock Monster's body?
Mo Fan believed the description of the Rock Monster was a lot more appropriate. If that was the case, there was a person among the Rock Monsters too. He even heard a Hunter talking about it during breakfast.
"The activation of the Barrier Core and the fusion of Elemental Elements will attract some strange creatures. Otherwise, why would they send so many soldiers here? They are just worried that the creatures will cause some damage," Lin Qihui said.
"From what I know, the activation of the Barrier Core will have the same side effect as the activation of the Elemental Detector. The side effect is even wider. All kinds of demon creatures might show up, "Tao Jing said.
