"I'm sorry, everyone, the army is mostly stationed at the shoreline and the estuary of the Yangtze River. Only the people from the Pearl Institute are here," explained the Shadow Academy's students.
"The Pearl Institute is fine too, they are all talented students. How many of you are here?" asked the middle-aged man.
"Only six of us."
"This …"
Six of them?
The citizens of Bin Town's high spirits immediately dropped when they heard the news. Their grumbling and anger could even be seen on their faces.
"We've been trapped here for so long, why hasn't anyone come to help us? Are our lives not worth anything?!" the middle-aged man began to get agitated.
"Yeah, we didn't have any supplies when we came here. Everyone is starving now, and we have to drink dirty water to survive. If they don't come to save us, even if we don't get eaten by the sea monsters, we will still starve to death!"
"Did the government give up on us?"
The entire dugout was in a panic. The people were holding on because they could still see hope, but they realized that there was no hope for them to leave this place.
"Everyone, don't panic, please listen to what I have to say!" Captain Ma Yong stood on top of the crowd and yelled.
In a small area with almost ten thousand people, fear and panic were contagious. It was not easy to calm them down.
However, Ma Yong was very persistent. He kept repeating the same sentence. No matter how loud the crowd was, he continued to yell, trying his best to calm the people down.
Ma Yong's voice started to turn hoarse, but it was effective.
Finally, the citizens of Bin Town slowly calmed down. Even though they were depressed and crying, they tried their best to lower their voices.
"Folks, don't give up. It's not that the government doesn't care about us, but think about it, the other villages by the river like us have all been eaten by the sea monsters. The fact that we are still alive is already a blessing from the heavens, so we should calm down and think of a way to leave this place. We should try our best to cooperate with the people who are coming to save us! "Ma Yong's voice was extremely hoarse.
"Captain Ma, it's been hard on you. If it wasn't for you and your team …" the crowd felt a little ashamed when they saw how dedicated the captain was.
"We're safe here for now. The Sea Demons won't be able to find us. Right now, the entire Huangpu River is filled with tens of thousands of River Crossing Demons, and the Pearl Institute is paying the price with their lives to wipe out these savage Magical Beasts. We can just wait here patiently. Once all the River Crossing Demons are wiped out, we can leave, "Ma Yong said.
"That's true. Our Senior Mofan is a Super Mage. He and Senior Ding have killed a Ruler-level sea monster. The sea monster's corpses are piled up at the mouth of the river. Just give us some time, and we will be able to leave this place safely!" the student from the Shadow Clan said.
The gazes of the other members of the Hunter Squad landed on Mo Fan, their faces filled with astonishment.
To be able to kill a Ruler-level creature, the mage in front of him was comparable to an army!
"So the Great Wizard is here!"
"A Great Wizard capable of killing over a thousand Sea Monsters …"
"That's good, that's good."
When the residents of Bin Town heard this news, they calmed down instead.
What was more reassuring than having a Super Mage on their side in times of chaos?
"Everyone, there's no need to be so nervous. Your current location is very safe. The Sea Demons won't be able to find you. As a matter of fact, even if the higher-ups send an army here to save you, the River Crossing Demons are hiding in the area. If a large number of people migrate, it will only attract stronger Sea Demons. Casualties will be unavoidable. The army won't be able to guarantee the safety of almost ten thousand people. Therefore, the best option is to stay here and wait until the River Crossing Demons are wiped out. Then, you can come out alive, "Mofan said to the residents of Bin Town.
The words of a Super Mage were very authoritative in times like this. The crowd did not dare to refute him. As a matter of fact, they could tell how well-hidden the dugout was.
No one was willing to face the ferocious Sea Demons. A safe place was more than enough.
After calming the crowd down, Captain Ma Yong and his men began to discuss with Mofan.
"We're lacking food the most. Everything else is fine," Ma Yong said.
"That shouldn't be a problem," Mofan said.
"Our vents are too small, and the gate can't be opened. I'm afraid it's going to be difficult to get food for almost ten thousand people," Ma Yong said.
"Don't worry, it's not a problem."
…
After leaving the dugout, Mofan and the students of the Shadow Clan returned to the forest of cypress trees.
After roughly describing the situation inside, Wei Rong revealed a joyful expression and said that he would immediately get the people from the Hunter's Union to prepare enough food.
"That's great, so many people are still alive," Ding Yumian smiled.
After seeing so many gory scenes and the corpses floating on the surface of the river, she felt that it was more important for the town to survive.
Mofan continued to meditate and wait.
Energy was everything. He could only continue to clear the River Crossing Demons when he was full of energy. Mofan would not waste a single second.
Some time later, Mofan was woken up by Wei Rong's angry voice.
"That's too much, that Elder Yao Xin, he didn't come to kill the demon creatures and was late to save the people. Now that I've asked him to arrange a group of Hunters to deliver food to us, he dares to say that it's the same as delivering food to the River Crossing Demons. He even refused!" Wei Rong's face was red with anger.
He had never seen a Mage more disgusting than Elder Yao Xin. He was clearly a scumbag in the midst of a great disaster!
"We don't have enough people. We can't transport so much food. How are we going to get the food in such a short time?" Zhang Zhuo said.
Mofan opened his eyes and asked Wei Rong why the Hunter Union was not coming.
"There's a group of Deep-Sea Bass. They are strong and powerful, occupying a part of the river. The Hunters don't dare to cross their path," Wei Rong said.
"Oh, bass, aren't they just bass?" Mofan asked.
"Something like that, but their average length is around seven meters. Their scales are as thick as metal armor. They are like heavy trucks when they swim forward. Nothing can stop them," Wei Rong said.
"Perfect … I can treat the villagers to a buffet," Mofan seemed to have come up with an idea.
The others did not seem to understand.
