…
They followed Wen Xia through a chaotic commercial street. Collapsed buildings and buildings could be seen everywhere. Occasionally, they would see one or two panicking young Mages and some experienced Hunters. They were dealing with the Rock Generals in an orderly fashion, but they would still hear cries of agony from time to time. Then, a new Rock Monster would be born in a certain alley …
"These Mud Morphing Monsters have the ability to camouflage themselves. They will take on the color of the street when they crawl on the street, and they will look like white walls when they crawl on the walls. It's very difficult to guard against them," Mofan had noticed the Mud Morphing Monsters' ability along the way.
"We didn't know enough about the creature, which is why we were caught off guard. Those idiots from the Research Union, I really don't know why the Magic Association keeps them around," Wen Xia said angrily.
They had encountered the Rock Monsters before the incident and even rescued the missing Mages. The Research Union should have been able to track down the creature with the information, yet they had failed to find anything. Otherwise, the city would not have fallen into such a passive state, given how well-guarded the place was.
The local Research Union was indeed unreliable. They were all just armchair strategists!
"It's just the two of us. How are you planning to take on the Black-Silver Rock Demon?" Mofan had no intention of using his brain since he was following the woman. Besides, if the woman did not remove the Seal on him, he was just a weak Intermediate Mage.
"Look ahead," Wen Xia said.
Mofan looked in the direction of the Black-Silver Rock Demon and saw it had caught another young Mage. The man looked familiar. Mofan took a closer look and realized it was Liang Junheng from the Magic Association, the one who had a duel with Zhou Donghao.
"Do you know him?" Wen Xia asked with a frown.
"Oh, I'm not familiar with him," Mofan said calmly.
Wen Xia glanced at Mofan disdainfully. She said to Mofan, "These Rock Monsters will turn into mud when they are devouring humans. It's the only way they can eat humans."
"I know." Mofan watched quietly. Facing the Black-Silver Rock Demon, Mofan really didn't intend to help. Rushing out would be no different from suicide.
"My magic won't be able to break through its defense, but if its body turns into mud, I think I can give it a fatal blow," Wen Xia said confidently.
"Oh, that's a good idea. Let's wait for the Black-Silver Rock Demon to devour the next person, then we'll attack. I'll attract its attention, and you'll ambush it. I didn't expect a woman like you to have such a brain, despite your serious and old-fashioned appearance," Mofan praised.
Wen Xia's plan was indeed effective. The Rock Monsters' strength lay in their sturdy hides. Their Earth Magic was not destructive enough, and the Rock Monsters might not even be harmed by the same Elemental Magic. If Wen Xia attacked the Rock Monsters while they were eating, the Rock Monsters' defense would be extremely weak in their mud form.
"We can't wait for someone else. If I attack it while it's devouring the person, won't I end up killing the person?" Wen Xia said.
"Oh, you're right, you might accidentally injure the person, but I can understand if you're worried about the country and the Earth," Mofan hinted.
Wen Xia glared at Mofan and said, "I won't do that!"
"Then what should we do? The Black-Silver Rock Demon will only turn into mud when it's eating. The person must be within your attack range," Mofan said.
"That's why I asked you to come here," Wen Xia said.
"What do you mean? You want me to take the person before you attack? It's going to be very difficult, that's all I can do for now, it's basically … "Mo Fan noticed Wen Xia staring at him with a determined look. He gradually lowered his voice and corrected himself," F * * k me, don't tell me you're asking me to be the bait!? "
Officer Wen Xia nodded solemnly.
"Miss, protecting the country is your job as a soldier. It has nothing to do with a citizen like me. We'll meet again if fate allows it. Mm, mm, I don't need you to lift the seal on me. I'll just leave the city and leave the area covered by the Barrier Core," Mofan said and left.
What kind of joke was this? She was asking him to let the Black-Silver Rock Demon capture him and let it devour him? Was the woman out of her mind? As a tourist, Mofan had no reason to risk his life!
"Are you a man or not!?" Wen Xia snapped.
"Of course I'm a f * * king man! If it weren't for the current situation, I would have shown you what it means to be invincible if you asked me the same question in the middle of the night! If you lift the seal on me, I'll eliminate the Black-Silver Rock Demon right away. There's no way I'm going to do something like that without lifting the seal!" Mofan said.
"Have some faith in me, there's no way it's going to devour you!" Wen Xia said.
"I'm more confident in myself. I'm telling you, the Barrier Core is most likely going to be destroyed. Why don't you lift the seal now? I can eliminate all the Rock Monsters in the middle of the city, and at least keep the city safe. If the Barrier Core is gone and the seal isn't lifted, we'll all die together," Mofan said.
"Then the other way around, I'll be the bait, and you'll be the one to defeat it," Wen Xia compromised.
"Comrade, are you out of your mind? There's no way my spells are going to inflict serious damage on the Black-Silver Rock Demon," Mofan said.
"Then what do you want?" Wen Xia was so infuriated by Mo Fan's actions that her face reddened. It was the only solution she could think of. It was too difficult to take on the Black-Silver Rock Demon in a head-on clash with the Earth Magic Formation. If they lost, the Earth Magic Formation might even devour the Black-Silver Rock Demon to strengthen it!
"Be reasonable, I'm only here to help, not to get myself killed!" Mofan said.
"Then just do as I say!" Wen Xia yelled back.
"Damn it, other people's lives are important, but mine isn't?"
"You won't die if you're strong enough."
"You really think too highly of me …"
Mofan did not argue with Wen Xia any further. He was not going to do anything like that. Whoever wanted to go was free to go!
Mofan waved goodbye. He was about to pack his things and leave.
Wen Xia did not ask him to stay. Mofan turned around a few times, but he still put on a cold face in the end …
He suddenly heard a woman's scream when he was less than two streets away.
Mofan turned around and saw the Black-Silver Rock Demon had caught another female Mage. It was obviously going to use her to strengthen itself.
