Generals Are Worse Than Dogs, Servants Walk Everywhere

Mo Fan ultimately didn't touch that Spirit Essence, as the abilities of Servant-level beings were too limited and wouldn't be of much help to him in his current state.

So, it was better to keep it. It could be used to strengthen his Star Seeds or to light up the Celestial Spirit Codex.

With Little Loach's assistance, Mo Fan quickly recovered his Magic Energy.

Just as he stood up, Zhang Xiaohou walked over and said, "Brother Fan, the military sent you a boxed meal. There's even meat in it."

"What? Your boxed meals don't have meat?" Mo Fan asked with a smile.

"What boxed meal? The boxed meals are given to the Military Mages first. We Intermediate Mages like us, we eat instant noodles just like ordinary people."

Mo Fan was taken aback, and then he realized. The disaster had struck so suddenly, and supplies would definitely be insufficient.

"It's fine. I'll go out for a bit later and bring back some good food for you guys." Mo Fan was starving and picked up the boxed meal to eat.

"Brother Fan, you're still going out!" Zhang Xiaohou exclaimed in surprise.

"Of course. I'm an Intermediate Mage. Even Beginner Mages outside are fighting desperately. What reason do I have to hide inside the Safe Zone?"

Bo City had always been Mo Fan's regret. Although he couldn't save it this time, as long as the people were still alive, rebuilding Bo City was only a matter of time.

After quickly finishing his meal, Mo Fan grabbed a backpack, put in two bottles of water, and swaggered towards the outside of the barrier.

"Hold on, classmate. The city is still very dangerous right now. You can't go out casually," the Guard Mage at the barrier entrance stopped Mo Fan.

"I'm an Intermediate Mage. I'm going into the city to drive away Demonic Beasts," Mo Fan replied.

The two Guard Mages stared with wide eyes. An Intermediate Mage at such a young age, his future was limitless.

Inside the barrier, Zhang Xiaohou couldn't persuade Mo Fan, so he could only return to where his classmates were to rest.

Seeing Zhang Xiaohou return alone, Zhou Min couldn't help but ask, "Zhang Xiaohou, where's Mo Fan? Why isn't he with you?"

"Brother Fan went into the city to hunt Demonic Beasts," Zhang Xiaohou said dejectedly, feeling like he hadn't been able to help Mo Fan again.

"He went into the city? Why did he come back by himself?" Zhou Min's pupils dilated instantly, and his voice involuntarily rose.

"Who came back? Mo Fan came back? Holy crap, Mo Fan is a real man!" Wang Sanpang exclaimed upon hearing their conversation.

"Mmm, Mo Fan went out again." Mu Bai turned his head to look outside the barrier, but he could only see a receding figure.

Mo Fan had already surpassed him by too much. If he still wanted to keep pace with Mo Fan, he shouldn't waste any more time!

Thinking this, Mu Bai immediately began his Meditation Cultivation.

Mo Fan walked across a bridge with a bottle of water. Suddenly, two Giant Eyed Stinky Rats leaped out from under the bridge. They had been gnawing on human corpses in the foul river below.

Upon smelling the scent of a living person, they immediately scurried towards him.

However, they weren't met with a delicious meal, but rather a soul reaper who would take their lives!

Two small, yet terrifyingly hot, Black Spot Golden Flames flew out and landed on the Giant Eyed Stinky Rats. The rats instantly burst into intense flames, as if doused in gasoline.

Mo Fan waved his hand and collected the Lingering Soul Remnants.

His first target was the Magic Association. Not only did the Magic Association have Spirit Essences consigned by hunters, but they also had Awakening Stones, and possibly even Magic Tools and Magic Artifacts.

In his previous life, Mo Fan's cultivation was unparalleled, and he naturally knew how to awaken himself. However, awakening oneself with a low spiritual realm could affect one's foundation, which was why Mo Fan didn't use that method.

Now, in the midst of disaster, it was justifiable to obtain these resources to fight against Demonic Beasts, taking from the people and using it for the people!

Mo Fan easily convinced himself.

Earlier, the Military Mages had held the line, so the Demonic Beasts in Bo City were somewhat contained. But after so much time, the front lines had likely been breached long ago.

Now, in the city, Generals were probably as common as dogs, and Servants roamed everywhere.

Mo Fan cautiously hugged the building walls as he walked. Not having the Shadow element was inconvenient; he had to awaken the Shadow and Summoning elements first.

In this second playthrough, Mo Fan didn't plan to change his magic elements. This was because they were the ones he was most familiar with, and he had already planned out his skills. Changing them now would be meaningless!

After all, in the end, he would be able to derive all magic systems, and even create new ones.

The biggest advantage of being reborn was that his realm was still intact, only his cultivation was gone. This meant that at every magic level, he knew exactly what to do.

Both the Magic Association and the Hunter's Union were located in the central district, and he had to pass through the Tianlan District to reach them. Mo Fan walked along the base of the walls, killing any lone Giant Eyed Stinky Rats and One-Eyed Magic Wolves he encountered along the way.

Because of Mo Fan's intervention, fewer people died in Bo City compared to his previous life. The One-Eyed Magic Wolves, having finally broken into the city expecting to find easy prey, discovered empty boxes one after another, driving them to the brink of starvation.

Due to hunger, one One-Eyed Magic Wolf started fighting with a Giant Eyed Stinky Rat. Although the Giant Eyed Stinky Rat appeared fierce, it was no match for the wolf.

Soon, the wolf's claws tore through the Giant Eyed Stinky Rat's forehead!

"Good kill, good kill." Mo Fan, hiding in the distance, watched the spectacular show and rejoiced inwardly. It was good that they were fighting amongst themselves.

Mo Fan was lucky. The Giant Eyed Stinky Rat killed by the One-Eyed Magic Wolf dropped a Spirit Essence. Mo Fan had Little Loach carefully absorb it.

The One-Eyed Magic Wolf didn't notice anything unusual and buried its head in the Giant Eyed Stinky Rat's flesh.

Mo Fan's eyes darted around. He wondered if he should attack the magic wolf, but after much hesitation, he decided against it—because this One-Eyed Magic Wolf was affiliated with a Three-Eyed Demon Wolf, which had over ten One-Eyed Magic Wolf subordinates.

Although Mo Fan admitted he was strong, he wasn't that strong!

He proceeded cautiously, only killing lone Demonic Beasts. Whenever he encountered a group of five or more Demonic Beasts, Mo Fan never engaged.

Moving on like this, stopping and starting, it took Mo Fan two hours to reach the Magic Association.

In Bo City, the Magic Association and the Hunter's Union were located together. The first and second floors belonged to the Hunter's Union, while the third and fourth floors housed the Magic Association.

The first floor was a mess, with several mangled corpses. The once gleaming floor was covered in dust, with piles of rubble and rebar.

"Little Loach, hurry up and sniff it out, where's the Spirit Essence?" Mo Fan said, stroking Little Loach.

Ever since Little Loach had absorbed the Earth Sacred Spring and upgraded, its abilities had greatly improved. Soon, Little Loach flickered twice, guiding Mo Fan to the location of the Spirit Essence.

The first-floor lobby was utterly devastated. The deeper they went, the more corpses they saw. Most wore the uniforms of the Magic Association, and there were also a few corpses in grey robes.

Mo Fan was very familiar with the style of the grey robes; they belonged to the grey-robed cultists of the Black Flood Pavilion.

The Lingering Soul Remnants on the corpses had yet to dissipate, suggesting they had died this morning. Good Spirit Essence should not be wasted, nor should good Lingering Soul Remnants.

Little Loach guided Mo Fan to a pile of rubble. This pile of rubble was blocking a corner, and Little Loach indicated that there was Spirit Essence beneath the rubble.

"Fire Seed · Explode!!"

Mo Fan trusted Little Loach one hundred percent, so he immediately cast a Level Three Fire Seed to blast the rubble apart!
