Silver scales glowed brightly under the moonlight, resembling large groups of warriors in silver armor approaching from all directions!

“Follow the fluorescent lights, don’t stray off the path, or else you won’t make it out of the Sunset Shrine!” Mu Bai reminded them once again.

The dilapidated structures were scattered along the slope, their layout very confusing. They would easily lose their way if they took the wrong path!

Three Silver Snake Warriors that had climbed up to the top of a black structure with the help of the vines along the wall jumped down. Each of their six arms was holding a thin spike around three meters long. Three Silver Snake Warriors meant eighteen pikes! They danced in the air while slashing down in a spiraling motion.

The spirals descended rapidly, forcing everyone to dodge to the side. The slashes barely missed some of their toes!

“Defend yourself, don’t just run!” Mo Fan yelled while running in the middle of the group.

If they kept running, the enemy could just attack recklessly. Not many of them could survive the continuous rain of attacks coming at them!

Not every Silver Snake Warrior had pikes for weapons. When the group arrived at one of the exits, a Silver Snake Commander over twenty meters tall was holding two heavy bone hammers with its six arms!

The heads of the hammers were obviously the skull of some enormous beasts. The Silver Snake Commander held each hammer with three hands. It leapt into the air and smashed the ground in the middle of the group. The terrifying hammers easily broke shattered the ground to pieces!

“Blink!” Heidi immediately cast the Space Spell when she saw the group about to lose its formation. “Come here!” she yelled.

The others quickly gathered toward Heidi after seeing the silver light.

When everyone was close enough, Heidi immediately activated the spell. The group swiftly vanished after the silver light reached its peak inside the collapsing building.

The Silver Snake Commander’s hammers had left an enormous hole on the ground, but it was not as clumsy as it seemed. It turned its head and immediately noticed its targets around a hundred meters away! It immediately let out a cry.

A dense show of silver flickers appeared in the air as a huge number of Silver Snake Warriors jumped up. They had surrounded Mo Fan and the others in some tall woods.

The woods did not cover a large area. The remains of old structures could still be seen nearby. Many Silver Snake Warriors were climbing up the trees; whether they were coming from the front, above, the trees, or off the roofs of the structures, their shiny silver scales were everywhere!

Spiraling slashes swept at the group and sliced the tall trees into logs. There was barely any room left to dodge the attacks, but Sofia was able to cast her Water Magic in time. The Water Curtain came down from above and protected the group like a huge umbrella.

Zhao Manyan and Galba cast their Earth Magic simultaneously to build rock barriers against the deadly attacks!

“Follow me!” Zhao Manyan yelled.

Zhao Manyan ran at the front of the group while extending his arms to both sides. A brown light shone while he was running.

Two sturdy walls of rocks emerged from the ground on both sides of him to block off the enemy and set up an escape path for the group. As he sprinted forward, the thick walls continued to rise in the direction he was running to.

“Keep up, keep up!” Mentor Vani shouted at the students of the European University Institute.

The Silver Snake Warriors and their attacks were blocked by the walls of stone. The group was basically running inside a canyon leading them straight to the woods outside the Sunset Shrine!

“Look out behind!” Heidi yelled.

Mo Fan turned around and was surprised to see the Silver Snake Commander coming up along the path that Zhao Manyan had built. The creature’s speed was insanely terrifying. The distance between them was reduced to only two hundred meters in the blink of an eye.

Someone fired a spell at the Silver Snake Commander, forcing the creature to slow down. However, as soon as the distance increased by a little, the enraged Silver Snake Commander tossed its hammer at the group!

“My turn!” Mo Fan immediately put Apas down on the ground when he saw the hammer flying at them in a parabola. He took a step forward!

Mo Fan clenched his fist while letting out a wild cry, before throwing a punch at the hammer.

His fist erupted into flames. The Meteor Scarlet grew rapidly as Mo Fan hurled it forth. It turned into a meteorite flying right at the bone hammer!

BANG!

The meteorite fist smashed the bone hammer into white dust scattered across the ground, together with the embers.

“It’s settled, let’s go!” Mo Fan withdrew his fist and smoothly lifted Apas, who was staring at the blast with a blank face and carried her on his back. He immediately caught up with the others ahead without turning his head around.

The Silver Snake Commander was crying angrily behind, but the ground had turned muddy all of a sudden, lowering its speed significantly. A few moments later, Mo Fan and the others managed to run away from the demon creatures!

“Big brother, you are so strong,” Apas’ eyes flickered with admiration after witnessing how Mo Fan was able to nullify the enormous snake’s attack with ease.

“It’s nothing,” Mo Fan said.

“Can you teach me magic if we can make it out alive?” Apas asked with anticipation. She did not seem to be afraid anymore.

“What are you talking about!?” Mo Fan said.

“Ah, I’m sorry,” Apas said timidly.

“Of course we are going to make it out alive. The person that can kill me wasn’t even born yet. You’ll be fine as long as I’m still alive!” Mo Fan declared.

Saving beautiful girls had always been the main reason why he wanted to learn magic and become stronger!

“So can I learn magic from you?” Apas had a happy smile again.

“Of course you ca… f**k, how dare you ambush me, piss off!” Mo Fan noticed seven Silver Snake Warriors showing up out of nowhere in the direction he was heading into in the middle of his sentence.

The snakes were concealing themselves amid the bushes. They did not engage the others that had already gone ahead, purposely waiting for Mo Fan since he was the last in the group. How stupid were they, challenging the strongest person in the group to a fight!?

Lightning descended from the sky and turned into sparks, like the blow of a heavenly hammer. The seven Silver Snake Warriors were struck by deadly bolts of lightning as soon as they tried to pounce on Mo Fan!

The area trembled under the lightning, and the Silver Snake Warriors were knocked flying by the blow. They landed far away, twitching uncontrollably from the electric shock.

“Big brother, behind us… there are a lot of them!” Apas took a quick look backward and immediately ducked her head under Mo Fan’s shoulder.

“Don’t be scared, you will see how they are going to die!” Mo Fan turned around. His brow furrowed as purple lightning flickered in his eyes.

“Sky Lightning Claw!” Mo Fan lifted his hand high and grabbed at the sky.

Dark lightning came down imperiously. The lightning bolts bundled up like dark claws of a demon, tearing at the Silver Snake Warriors!

The demon creatures screamed in agony. The twelvefold damage amplification of the Lightning Tyrant was too much for the Warrior-level creatures to handle. Even the smallest lightning arc of the Sky Lightning Claw was enough to pulverize the Silver Snake Warriors!

Many Silver Snake Warriors died instantly, significantly reducing the pressure coming from behind. Apas’ mouth remained wide open as she turned around this time. In her eyes, a single Silver Snake Warrior was already so scary, yet to her surprise, a strong Mage could easily slaughter these fierce-looking creatures!

“Don’t give up so easily, live and work diligently, and one day, you will be able to eliminate the enemy that brings you pain and suffering with ease,” Mo Fan patted Apas on the head after seeing the astonishment on her face.

“Mm, I know!” Apas nodded, as if she was going to remember the words that Mo Fan had casually come up with.

Mo Fan eventually regrouped with the others. To his surprise, the others in the group were quite powerful too. The Silver Snake Warriors had no chance of stopping them with their current numbers.

Mo Fan and Heidi were in charge of the rear. Heidi was mainly responsible for stopping the Silver Snake Warriors from getting closer. Her multitasking ability was perfect for constantly keeping an eye on the enemy and stopping them from threatening the group at close range. Mo Fan, on the other hand, was unable to fight the enemy in close combat, since he was carrying Apas, so he was only casting powerful ranged spells. Heidi forced the Silver Snake Warriors to approach the group from a certain direction, allowing Mo Fan to play the role of a magic cannon and blow the demon creatures up.

Mo Fan continued to massacre the enemy pursuing them while Vani focused on clearing the path ahead. The students of the European University Institute fired their spells at the demon creatures at will. The group soon managed to travel two kilometers away from the Sunset Shrine.

“Don’t let your guard down, the Silver Snake Warriors are still coming from every direction. They are calling more of their species to flank us, too! We aren’t safe yet!” Chad, who was in the middle of the group, reminded everyone loudly.
