“How do we leave, this is basically a cell!” Mo Fan looked at the guardswoman, who was dripping with sweat.

  “Just follow me.” Lin Yuxin didn’t want to babble with Mo Fan, and quickly walked to the altar.

  Following her instructions, she ran her finger under the edge of the altar, and found a button hidden under the edge. Biting her lip, she pressed it down, and heard a gurgling behind her.

  Without knowing what kind of button she had pressed, the originally circuting Underground Holy Spring was now continuously flowing into a small hole.

  Gudu~ Gudu~

  A few seconds ter, all of the Underground Holy Spring had disappeared. There was not a single drop left within the small stone ditch.

  Lin Yuxin strode to the very top of the altar and tore open the still leather mat which was still warm from Mo Fan sitting on it.

  The board beneath the leather mat could be opened. After Lin Yuxin opened the board, there was a blue bottle on the inside. Within the bottle appeared to be the incomparably clear Underground Holy Spring’s waters.

  Mo Fan was incredibly curious. How could so much Underground Holy Spring be contained within a soda can-sized bottle?

  Lin Yuxin carefully put away the bottle that contained the Underground Holy Spring and turned around to look at the straightforward student who was about to do his Magic High Exams. She said, “This is the emergency protection pn for the Underground Holy Spring. There is another passage in this cell, it should lead to the back mountain of your Tian Lan Magic High.”

  “It leads to the back of the school’s mountain? Miss, can’t you tell me just what exactly has happened first?” Mo Fan asked anxiously.

  “You’ll know once you’ve exited. Come with me first, their objective is precisely the Underground Holy Spring, we cannot let Underground Holy Spring nd in their hands.” Lin Yuxin didn’t want to say too much.

  “Their?” Mo Fan was even more confused, he didn’t know what Lin Yuxin was saying.

  Lin Yuxin walked along the wall. Her fingers actually inserted what seemed to be some kind of password into a section of the stone wall that was indistinguishable from the rest.

  Mo Fan was stunned as he saw this. He had concentrated hard to cultivate in this cell, so much that he didn’t realize there were so many mechanisms in the Underground Holy Spring chamber.

  Krrrrr~

  With a grinding noise, the stone wall to the side suddenly opened up, revealing a pitch bck tunnel. He really wondered where the tunnel led to.

  (Ed. Note: Yes, he’s quite dense at times. It’s all about him!)

  “Leaving this pce is our priority.” Lin Yuxin said no more as she grabbed Mo Fan and they walked into that dark tunnel.

  Mo Fan had also realized that there were major things happening on the outside, so, he didn’t dare to hesitate.

  As they walked a few steps inside, Lin Yuxin suddenly thought of something. Her pair of somewhat sharp eyes looked over at Mo Fan.

  “This secret tunnel isn’t necessarily safe. The people from the Bck Vatican should have me as their objective. I’ll let you carry the Underground Holy Spring, you must protect it.” Lin Yuxin made a decision that he himself thought was rude and impetuous.

  However, Lin Yuxin had no other choices.

  The Bck Vatican came here prepared, it seemed like they knew the Underground Holy Spring like the back of their hand. If they were to meet people from the Bck Vatican during the process of escaping, then their main objective would definitely be her, the Vice Captain, while Mo Fan, a student, would definitely be neglected by the people from Bck Vatican.

  As long as they were able to protect Underground Holy Spring, then there was still hope!

  “Can I trouble you to just tell me what is going on!” Mo Fan was a bit impatient.

  Judging by how Lin Yuxin appeared to have lost her spirits, it meant that a big commotion was happening in Bo City.

  “Blood Alert 1.” Lin Yuxin was unable to clearly expin to this student in a short amount of time. After all, the student was secluded in the room, and completely ignorant of what had happened in the outside world.

  Blood Alert?

  A colossal rock ferociously hit Mo Fan’s heart, causing a huge wave of emotion!

  After coming to this world, Mo Fan had learned some very important information. It was a fact that humans were not the dominant race in this Magical world. Outside of the city dwelled Magical Beasts hundreds and thousands of times more numerous than humans!

  The Magical Beasts were also spying on the resources that were occupied by humans. Beneath the command of some Magical Beasts that acted like monarchs, the Magical Beasts would be like a legion as they attacked human cities in a rge scale assault. There had been cases where some weak cities disappeared after a single night!

  Thus, the five continents of the world with the strongest Magic Associations called these kinds of attacks against cities Alerts. Furthermore, they would be divided into different levels based on the number of Magical Beasts and their powers.

  Just like natural disaster warnings from the technological world had different levels, so too the kind of crises where Magical Beasts would invade the humans also had different levels!

  Orange Alert! That was the first level of Alerts, this meant there were sightings of Magical Beasts within the vicinity of the safety boundaries. Their numbers were above three hundred!

  An Orange Alert happened two years ago, that time had already armed people.

  A Blue Alert was even more dreadful. For Bo City, this would be a foul wind of blood rain. Who knows how many Magicians and Civilians would lose their lives when the Magical Beasts wantonly invaded.

  But the higher level, Blood Alert...

  That was destruction, massacre, a catastrophe for the city. The limited amount of Battlemages would be unable to fend off the invasion of the Magical Beasts. The Magical Beasts would invade the city and start wildly massacring the people. It was not just a few Magical Beasts running around, there would be hundreds or thousands of them!

  There were many Magician who would get sughtered like chickens, let alone the civilians who were completely unable to do anything.

  Blood Alert, the City would turn into a river of blood, the corpses would be everywhere!

  Just the descriptions and records from books caused people to tremble in fear. Now that everything was happening in front of everyone’s eyes, just what kind of Hell on Earth would it be?

  ------

  After passing through the secret tunnel, Mo Fan, who was still dazed with disbelief, and Lin Yuxin emerged on the north side of the mountain in the city.

  The heavy rain was still pouring down, the dark and gloomy weather enveloping all of Bo City in a depressing atmosphere. From afar came a roar that caused people to shake as it echoed in their ears. In an instant, their bodies began to tremble in fear.

  Mo Fan turned his gaze in the direction of where the roar of the Magical Beast came from.

  Heavens, that was a residential area!

  The ground level houses, and the streets constructed with an outdated cement… it was like a food market that had scarlet red blood flowing out!

  All that blood couldn’t be the blood of chickens. That was the blood of once-living people that converged into a streamlet as it flowed into the sewers from the constant pouring of the heavy rain!

  Bloody red, an eye-catching bloody red.

  Standing on the back of the mountain in the middle of the city, you could clearly see bloodstains everywhere in the rain-covered, dusky Bo City.

  Bo City was an ink-like city with the characteristics of the south. Under the rain, it would normally look even more like a beautiful painting. However, today, Mo Fan saw a painting that was filled with blood stains, like the arrival of a nightmare!

  “Awoooouuuuuu!”

  A roar that shook Bo City suddenly erupted, making everyone's skin crawl.

  Mo Fan abruptly turned his head, listening and looking in the direction of the sound, and a shocking and terrifying scene came into view.

  A grey sky covered the city. Bo City's iconic building, the Silver Trade Building, stood out like a crane among chickens, almost touching the grey sky. But right at the very top of this towering building, a huge dark shadow y there.

  Its tail hung down from the dome of the Silver Trade Building, nearly half of its length.

  Its fleshy wings were half unfurled. One half was obscured by the rain, while the other half overshadowed more than a dozen floors of office buildings.

  Its head was held high, and the roar, powerful enough to shake the entire Bo City, erupted from its massive, blood red maw that could swallow clouds and spit mist.

  That was, of course, the Winged Azure Wolf, the culprit behind this camity.

  This was Mo Fan's first time seeing a Commander Level creature, and even from a distance, he could feel the oppressive aura of a Commander Level being.

  The moment Lin Yuxin saw the Winged Azure Wolf, her heart felt much colder.

  But at the same time, Lin Yuxin noticed that Mo Fan, who had emerged from the tunnel, remained silent.

  Even when he saw the Winged Azure Wolf, there wasn't much fear in his eyes.

  She naturally knew a little about Mo Fan's situation. And now, with the Bck Vatican using the Winged Azure Wolf's pack to attack the city, the Earth Holy Spring was definitely not safe with her.

  “Mo Fan, the Bck Vatican's goal is to completely destroy Bo City and turn it into a living hell. The Winged Azure Wolf is powerful, but it's not enough to turn Bo City into a pool of flesh and blood in one or two days. But if a few more demon beasts of the same level as the Winged Azure Wolf appear, our Bo City will suffer heavy casualties even if reinforcements arrive.”

  “You need to do two things now. First, safeguard the Earth Holy Spring. Under no circumstances let it fall into anyone's hands. I have a premonition that the Bck Vatican might be desperately trying to acquire the Earth Holy Spring.”

  Mo Fan took the Earth Holy Spring and immediately said, “Is it appropriate to hand this kind of thing over to me?”

  Lin Yuxin was stunned for a moment. She never expected Mo Fan to say that. But with no other choice, she immediately said, “My identity is quite sensitive. Those Bck Vatican members will definitely assume I'm carrying the Earth Holy Spring, so I will deliberately draw their attention now. What you need to do is take the Earth Holy Spring and hide as much as possible, survive as much as possible, don't let the Bck Vatican find it, and even more so, don't let the Earth Holy Spring fall into the Bck Vatican's hands.”

  “If I truly encounter danger, I will drink it all down immediately,” Mo Fan said.

  Lin Yuxin paused again.

  It had to be said, Mo Fan's idea was very absurd.

  But it didn't seem impossible. If he drank it, even if he were devoured by demon beasts, at most it would only strengthen a few minor demons.

  Lin Yuxin didn't think too much, only saying, “As long as it doesn't fall into the Bck Vatican's hands, you can do whatever you want.”

  With that, she left.

  Watching Lin Yuxin go to act as a target to draw fire, Mo Fan felt a surge of respect in his heart.

  He knew she wouldn't die, but just for her sacrifice, he admired her. If there was a chance in the future, Mo Fan felt that he could definitely recruit her to his side.

  After Lin Yuxin left without looking back, Mo Fan also noticed a group of creatures chasing each other on the back of the mountain, visible from this position, behind Tiann Magic High School.

  Their bodies were incredibly robust, effortlessly breaking through trees.

  They were like a pack of wild wolves rushing into a sheepfold without a fence, their greed evident in their impatient dash.

  After seeing these demon hordes rushing, Mo Fan, who had originally intended to go find Xin Xia first, could only rush towards the school.

  He quickly headed towards Tiann Magic High School. Down from this city mountain, through a few old alleys, was the side gate of Tiann Magic High School.

  Fortunately, this urban area had not yet been thoroughly ravaged by a rge number of demon beasts. Residents nearby either hid in basements or fled towards the safe barrier zone. The disaster came too suddenly. Many people had just woken up from pleasant dreams, only to open their eyes to this incredibly terrifying reality.

  The students were all at school today. Originally preparing for the magical college entrance exam, they hadn't even had a chance to face the bloody competition, only to be met with such a bloody disaster. How would students, who would normally wet their pants at the first sight of a demon beast, fare in a city filled with demon beasts. It was truly hard to imagine.

  When Mo Fan arrived at the school, Xue Musheng was just forming a vanguard team.

  As they were evacuating, they could still see many civilians gathering there. Clearly, they were survivors from the area. Xue Musheng told these people that they were scouting ahead and that the main group was behind them, instructing everyone to follow.

  The ten person group moved retively quickly. They walked straight through the main street outside the school gate, then through a pedestrian street and an apartment complex with elevators, and they would be able to see the safe barrier.

  The main street was about a kilometer long, filled with abandoned vehicles, completely blocked. Not only could school buses not pass, but it would probably be difficult for bicycles to find a clear path.

  Traffic was basically paralyzed. They could only proceed on foot. Three kilometers was neither long nor short, and no one could say what might happen.

  “There’s a Giant Eye Scarlet Mouse at the newsstand ahead,” Zhang Yinglu said, running back with a pale face, slightly out of breath.

  “It’s gnawing on a child,” Zhang Xiaohou added.

  When they saw it, the child was already dead, but such a bloody scene falling into their eyes was horrifying and sorrowful.

  Continuing forward, after bypassing a rge bus blocking the street, they could immediately see the blood stained newsstand and the ten year old boy lying in a pool of blood.

  “Where’s the Giant Eye Scarlet Mouse?” Xue Musheng frowned, searching with his gaze but not seeing the Giant Eye Scarlet Mouse they spoke of.

  Before anyone could answer, Mo Fan’s eyes narrowed.

  He did not look at the newsstand.

  He looked at the shadow line behind Zhang Yinglu.

  The next second, he moved.

  “Fire Burst, Rupture!”

  Whoosh!

  Fme poured from Mo Fan’s hand like a fming whip, smming into the spot behind her.

  Boom!

  The fire exploded, and Zhang Yinglu, pale faced from shock, dropped to one knee on instinct.

  The others all flinched, thinking Mo Fan had gone mad.

  Then they saw it.

  A Giant Eye Scarlet Mouse that had been clinging to the dark gap behind them, trying to strike from the blind angle, was already a bckened corpse on the ground, its hide still smoking.

  Only then did everyone realize what had just happened.

  Mo Fan had not attacked Zhang Yinglu.

  He had saved her.

  “These demon beasts are very cunning,” Mo Fan said, his voice low and fast. “No matter what, never let your guard down when facing them.”

  “Mo Fan, how did you know there was a Giant Eye Scarlet Mouse there,” Xu Zhaoting stared bnkly at him, full of confusion. “And that fire just now.”

  Xue Musheng looked at the charred remains, then at Mo Fan’s hand, his face tightening.

  That was not the same firepower a normal student should be throwing out.

  But before he could press, Mo Fan cut the conversation off cleanly.

  “Our current goal is to safely get the thousands of people behind us to the safe zone,” Mo Fan said. “Other matters are not for you to consider right now.”
