Officer Wen Xia ran very fast. Her Earth Wave skill was very good. No matter if it was a flat ground or a terrain with slopes or gradients, she could change the texture of the soil so that she could glide at an extremely fast speed. It was as if she was wearing a pair of boots that had zero friction with the soil. It was as if she was riding the wind and breaking the waves with ease.
Mofan was good at controlling himself, too. In order to catch up to Wen Xia, he had learned how to slide across the ground like an experienced Earth Mage. However, compared to Wen Xia's smooth dodging and graceful leaps, Mofan was like a newbie who had just put on roller skates. Not only was he struggling to keep his balance, he would occasionally knock into trash cans, telephone poles, billboards, and stalls!
Mofan kept chasing after Wen Xia along the way. He was applying what he had learned on the spot. His face was already swollen before he reached the middle district.
"Nu ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~!!!!!"
Suddenly, a Rock Monster that had just taken shape rushed out of an alley.
It was obvious that the Mud Monster had just pounced on it. The mud on the Rock Monster's body was still wriggling. The mud was gradually hardening as it was exposed to the air. It could not wait to attack the people on the street.
"I don't have time for that!" Mofan made a beautiful slide across the ground and went under the Rock Monster's crotch.
The Rock Monster was still slow to react. It bent its body, yet it had no idea where Mofan had gone. When it finally realized that Mofan was behind it, Mofan was already over a hundred meters away from the street.
"Turn, turn, turn, turn!"
The street took a ninety-degree turn. There was a wall in front of them. Mofan tried to change the texture of the ground with his outstanding control of the Earth Element so that he could drift across the street like Wen Xia. However, some things could not be learned just by watching, nor could they be changed by shouting like Mofan. He had to be adept at using the Earth Wave.
"BANG!"
Mofan didn't stop the car in time, and his face hit the mountain ladder, seeing stars.
The Rock Monster was still chasing after him. Mofan wiped the blood off his face roughly and hurriedly changed direction, running away on a wave of earth that had just risen.
Well, well, Mofan had already learned how to glide in a straight line. It was just that he was a little stiff when it came to turning, not to mention Wen Xia, who was able to glide between the walls and corners of the mountain at a 90-degree angle.
…
Wen Xia frowned when she arrived at the central district. There were many buildings in the central district. Most of them were stone buildings and stone houses. On the south side, there was a more complicated trading market. On the north side, there was a slightly more normal commercial street.
The current city was filled with reinforced concrete and glass, but there was only cement in the middle city. There wasn't even any greenery in sight.
Looking into the distance, even though the buildings and the residential areas had blocked most of the view, they could still see strange mud objects wriggling in certain places. Many enormous Rock Monsters were wreaking havoc, like a bunch of bandits that had broken into a rich manor. They were rummaging through the chests and cupboards in search of their real treasure: the Barrier Core.
It was very dangerous for demon creatures to enter the city. Luckily, the city had always been a city of war, and only Mages were allowed to enter. Otherwise, countless innocent people would have died!
"Huff … huff … huff …"
Mofan panted heavily. Many strange things were hanging on him. He had already forgotten what he had knocked over along the way.
"Break the seal for me, and I'll help you eliminate these things," Mofan said confidently.
"What's the difference between giving the Barrier Core to these monsters if I help you break the seal? I won't allow anything that isn't Earth Element to appear, especially when it's so close to the core of the Barrier Core," Wen Xia said righteously.
"What are you going to do, then? Are you going to rely on your Earth Element to eliminate them all? There are still a lot of Mud Morphing Monsters. They keep hunting in the city, and the number of Rock Monsters will only keep increasing. Besides, these creatures aren't dead, they will keep …" Mofan suddenly stopped in the middle of the sentence.
Wen Xia was confused. She asked in a hurry, "What will they keep doing?"
Mofan did not answer. He pointed ahead sternly.
Due to the darkness, when Wen Xia and Mo Fan looked down from above, they subconsciously assumed that the two black objects were the skyscrapers of the business district. To their surprise, the skyscrapers suddenly began to move. They lifted their thick and powerful legs and stomped on the ground. The cement on the street cracked open like a spider's web. The shorter buildings almost collapsed from the impact!
Officer Wen Xia was dumbfounded.
A fifty to sixty meter tall rock giant???
The Rock Monsters they had seen before were at most four meters tall, which was the height of a one-story building. How did such enormous creatures suddenly appear in the well-guarded city center? How did they even jump over the rampart? How did the soldiers and Brown Rock Mages let the creatures of such level enter the city!?
"You saw it, they will keep evolving. Not only are the Mud Morphing Monsters pouncing on people, these Rock Monsters are also attacking Mages and merging them with their bodies. Every time they merge with a new Mage, their size and strength will grow … damn it, how many Mages did the two Black-Silver Rock Demons send into their bodies? There must be enough people lying inside them to form a human pyramid!" Mofan could not help but curse.
Such dangerous and destructive creatures had appeared in such a short period of time. Who knew what would happen if they just left them alone?
"They are absorbing the energy of the Mages and turning it into their own Elemental Energy. The Research Union has studied it before, but we have yet to discover the Mud Morphing Monsters," Wen Xia said.
"I thought so, too. The people that were rescued were extremely weak, like they had been emptied," Mofan agreed.
"Come with me, we can't let the two monsters get close to the Barrier Core!" Wen Xia seemed to know a secret passage. She led Mofan to an inconspicuous residential area.
