“Damn it, how many of these filthy things are there?” cursed Shorty.

The crowd on the intersecting streets in the city was in a great mess. Even the weakest zombie standing on the street would create a huge panic among the civilians. In addition to that, the fear was contagious, making it harder for the people to evacuate and retreat in good order.

If the people were running for their lives on their own, it would make it harder for the Magicians to look after them.

In this situation, the only thing that the Magicians could do was to eliminate the invaders. The streets, alleyways and shops were overrun by the undead. The enormous Mountain Zombie had tossed tens of thousands of zombies to different places. Each of the Corpse Officials was transporting more than a thousand undead with them. As the undead pursued the people and killed them on sight, life had suddenly become a race and a gamble. Those who were slower would be dragged away by the zombies, and nobody knew if a phantom, its mouth already filled with fresh blood, would be waiting for them at the next junction!

Mo Fan, Zhou Ming, Mu Bai and Shorty had passed several streets. Basically, they could see undead along all the wider streets.

They would try their best to eliminate the undead when they could, yet their energy was limited. Most of the time, they had no choice but to avoid contact with the undead when they were preying on people in large numbers…

It was tough and painful to make the decision. They felt sad and cruel abandoning the civilians, yet there was nothing they could do. In a war like this, everyone was a victim of the disaster. Not only were their lives cheap in the eyes of the undead creatures, even the other people could not help but feel the same way too.

“Hurry up, we’ll arrive at Bo City Street after crossing this flyover bridge. I think this area is still safe from the undead,” said Zhou Ming, pointing at a row of densely packed buildings.

“If you headed here following the path you wanted to take initially, it would have taken you more than half an hour longer! Go, bring your people to safety while this place is not crawling with undead yet!” said Shorty.

Mu Bai led the way. He was about to use his Magic Boots to cross the unstable area quickly when Mo Fan stopped him.

“Try not to use your Equipment unless it’s necessary, it might save your life.” Mo Fan was more experienced than Mu Bai, after all.

Mu Bai nodded. Even though he was quite worn out from all the running, he did not use his Boots in the end.

Suddenly, a loud crash came from the half-kilometer long flyover bridge ahead of them!

The four Magicians looked up and discovered a phantom with sharp black wings was now standing on the bridge. Its figure was covered in gray fur. The creature had incredible strength, easily raising a sedan on the bridge with one hand.

The loud crash was the sound produced when it threw the car to the ground. The black sedan was destroyed instantly, and even erupted in flames.

“Help…help, help me…” A cry of agony came from a red vehicle.

Mo Fan glanced ahead and saw the phantom with wings picking up another vehicle. Through the windshield, they could see a woman with disheveled hair poking her head out, her face pale as she screamed for help!

Before anyone could react, the phantom tossed the vehicle over the side of the bridge, and it fell together with the scream of terror from the woman!

“There’s someone in the car!” Zhou Ming was terrified. The place that the vehicle was falling to was less than ten meters away from them!

“Damn it, let’s kill this asshole!” cursed Mo Fan.

In the nick of time, Mo Fan’s figure sank into the shadows from the bridge overhead and quickly went inside the rapidly falling red car…

“Mo Fan!”

“Holy crap, is he trying to kill himself?!” yelled Shorty.

The car was falling from the bridge. It would only take less than two seconds for it to reach the ground. If Mo Fan snuck inside the vehicle with Fleeing Shadow, wouldn’t he be crushed to pieces together with the woman?!

Another loud crash took place. The new red sedan instantly turned into a pile of scrap as it landed on the ground. The parts scattered across the place, some even rolling to the feet of the three Magicians.

At the same time, a pool of black shadow swept past them and stopped under the overpass…

The shadow became clearer; Mo Fan in his black shirt slowly walked out from it, holding a woman who had fallen unconscious in his arms.

“Impressive!” Shorty gave Mo Fan a thumbs-up.

The falling car had its own shadow as it approached the ground, which Mo Fan relied on to quickly escape from the vehicle with Fleeing Shadow before it slammed into the ground. Not only did he have to cast Fleeing Shadow twice within seconds, the courage and agile thinking he displayed was not something that an ordinary Magician had!

“You’re able to draw a Star Orbit with a single thought now?” As expected of the top student Mu Bai, he immediately determined Mo Fan’s cultivation.

Only by mastering the ability to draw a Star Orbit with a single thought would Mo Fan be able to finish casting a Basic Spell in an instant, allowing him to use Fleeing Shadow consecutively.

“Mm, let’s talk about that later. We should kill this phantom first. Otherwise, many people will be killed by it,” Mo Fan pointed upward.

Mo Fan placed the woman under the bridge, and she regained consciousness in just a brief moment. As she was about to express her tearful gratitude, Mo Fan had already turned into a streak of shadow making his way up the bridge…

“Follow me!” Mu Bai quickly cast Ice Lock. The icy chains crossed paths with one another under his control, forming an ice ladder on the pillar of the bridge.

Zhou Ming and Shorty followed Mu Bai up the ladder, going after Mo Fan who had reached the top of the bridge.

“That’s a Demon of Disaster. It likes to hide in the dark like a bat, and flit in the air above its prey, leaving a huge hole in its target’s head. In the next second, brain fluid mixed with blood jets out from the hole,” Zhou Ming was an expert when it came to identifying demon creatures. She could easily identify any creature with a single glance.

“Don’t scare me like that!” Shorty was an experienced Hunter, yet he had never heard of anything like that!

“Either way, just be careful of its index finger. It will suddenly extend forward like a shadow hook. Once it touches your head, you’re dead. Even Magic Armor won’t be able to protect you,” warned Zhou Ming.

Mo Fan heard Zhou Ming’s advice, too. When he arrived on the bridge, he carefully studied the Demon of Disaster’s hand, and noticed that the creature’s hand had one finger which was very long and thin. It could indeed be described as a hook!

“You mentioned that it likes to hide in the dark. Does that mean it has the Shadow Element?” Mo Fan frowned. He could vaguely sense a dark aura from the Demon of Disaster.

“Yeah, so your Giant Shadow Spikes are useless against it. We have to trap it with Mu Bai’s Ice Lock. By the way, this creature is an expert at running away, so we can’t let it learn that we are able to kill it. Otherwise, it will just run away when it senses something isn’t right, and will keep annoying us from above throughout our journey,” explained Zhou Ming.
