Just as Mo Fan was about to take out the Fire Element scroll, Song Jie beside him moved.
"Radiance!"
"Ultimate Great Burst!"
In an instant, Song Jie raised his hand and released a golden sphere of light at the Blood-patterned Giant Demon Rat, even larger than Radiance!
The dazzling golden sphere of light beside him stabbed Mo Fan's eyes so painfully that he could barely keep them open.
The golden Radiance instantly swallowed the Blood-patterned Giant Demon Rat and blasted it away.
The next moment!
A heaven-shaking explosion rang out, and the entire underground base trembled.
Mo Fan looked toward the General-level Blood-patterned Giant Demon Rat. Its body had been torn into pieces, and blood was splattered all over the ground!
Its death was utterly gruesome!
Mo Fan stared at Song Jie in disbelief and could not help swallowing.
Was this really the Song Jie he knew?
He had killed a General-level Demon Beast just like that?
Song Jie's Ultimate Great Burst was comparable to High-level Magic. Killing a General-level Demon Beast was effortless!
Soon!
The entrance to the Sacred Spring hurriedly closed.
"Song Jie, was that magic you released just now?" Mo Fan asked incredulously.
He only wanted to confirm that this was real...
Song Jie nodded, then began searching inside for the mechanism that collected the Sacred Spring.
Before long, he walked to the sacrificial altar in the center and found a button.
Mo Fan watched as the Sacred Spring around them slowly gathered into a bottle, finding it incredibly wondrous!
At the same time, he could not understand how Song Jie knew about all this!
But,
he did not ask further.
"The door's closed. How are we getting out?" Mo Fan asked.
"Instructor Zhan Kong told me there's a secret passage inside. Come search for it with me," Song Jie said.
Hearing this, Mo Fan immediately nodded. He also understood why Song Jie knew so much.
So Instructor Zhan Kong had told him!
The two searched around for a while and eventually found the entrance to the secret passage.
"Let's go."
As soon as Song Jie finished speaking, he headed toward the secret passage.
The Military Mage who had appeared here had most likely been sent to notify them, but had unexpectedly encountered the Demon Beasts!
He had seen them just now. Those people had not died recently and had probably already been dead for several days.
In that case, Zhan Kong and Tang Yue must have noticed something was wrong and sent someone to notify them to leave.
Unfortunately, no one had expected the messenger to be killed by the Demon Beasts' invasion.
Song Jie and Mo Fan proceeded through the secret passage. After a long while, they finally saw light.
After climbing out, Mo Fan scanned the surroundings. "Is this the school's back mountain?"
Song Jie climbed out and nodded.
He looked toward Tian Lan Magic High School. There were no students there anymore.
Clearly!
They had most likely already been notified to leave.
Mo Fan asked in surprise, "What's going on? Could Bo City have been invaded by Demon Beasts?"
"Isn't what's in front of us the best proof?" Song Jie said, looking toward the city.
"I'm going to find my dad and Xin Xia!!" Mo Fan suddenly thought of something and hurriedly left.
"All the students from Tian Lan Magic High School have left. Xin Xia should be fine. Your dad may have been sent to the Safe Zone as well," Song Jie said.
After hearing this, Mo Fan's agitated heart calmed somewhat, but he still felt uneasy.
"We should think about how to get to the Safe Zone," Song Jie said, looking at the distant streets where Demon Beasts roamed.
Although his current strength was comparable to that of a High-level Mage, his Magic Energy was not infinite.
Therefore, if they were surrounded by a large number of Demon Beasts, they would still die here no matter how strong they were.
Mo Fan nodded. At the very least, they should first go to the Safe Zone and see whether his father and Xin Xia were there.
After all, for him to rescue them alone was simply a fool's dream!
"Song Jie, what do you think we should do?" Mo Fan had seen Song Jie kill that General-level Demon Beast just now. For him, following Song Jie was the only way he might survive.
Song Jie pondered. The original plot had already been disrupted, and he would no longer be taking that group of students to the Safe Zone.
That meant they could only go to the Safe Zone on their own if they wanted to survive.
"I don't have any particular idea. Let's find the closest route to the Safe Zone," Song Jie said.
Hearing this, Mo Fan could only nod.
If Song Jie had not been there, Mo Fan alone would definitely have died if he encountered a General-level Demon Beast.
"I'll follow your lead," Mo Fan said directly. After all, he also wanted to make it to the Safe Zone alive.
"We'll go through the southern district. It's closest to the Safe Zone," Song Jie said.
"Sure!"
Mo Fan immediately nodded.
Song Jie had the strength to kill a General-level Demon Beast. As long as they were not surrounded by Demon Beasts, dealing with a single one would be no problem!
"Let's go!"
As soon as Song Jie finished speaking, he left first, with Mo Fan following closely behind.
The two descended from the back mountain and headed toward the nearby street.
Quite a few Demon Beasts roamed the street, but they were all Servant-level Demon Beasts.
"We'll go after they pass," Song Jie said.
If they could not get around them, they would have no choice but to attack. Even if it alerted the others, there was nothing they could do.
Along the way, some houses had been reduced to ruins, while disabled cars clogged the roads.
After taking a detour for a while, they saw a group with several General-level Demon Beasts slowly approaching.
"There are actually three General-level Demon Beasts among them!" Mo Fan exclaimed as he looked at the creatures.
But he also knew that if Song Jie used the magic from before, these Demon Beasts would all die without exception.
However, if they did that, getting out would become difficult.
There were too many Demon Beasts. Mo Fan asked, "Song Jie, what do we do next? Keep taking a detour?"
"No need. I plan to give them a surprise," Song Jie said with a smile.
"A surprise?" Mo Fan was about to say something, but he knew Song Jie would not joke around with his life, so he did not ask.
"Once I deal with them, we'll move immediately. Don't hesitate," Song Jie reminded him.
"Okay!"
Mo Fan nodded heavily.
Song Jie looked at the many Demon Beasts gathered there. There were at least a hundred of them!
If he wiped them all out in one go, he could relieve some of the pressure on Bo City's Military Mages.
What was more!
He had the ability to eliminate this entire group of Demon Beasts!
The range of Radiance Great Burst was too small, making it insufficient to deal with these Demon Beasts!
So! He would use the second-level magic of his Light Element's Novice Level Two, which had been strengthened six times, against them!
His Light Element's Novice Level Two magic had already been strengthened from Radiance to...
Radiance Arrow → Radiance Light Arrows → Radiance Laser → Radiance-Laser → Radiance-fire Laser → Radiance Laser!
His six-times-strengthened Radiance Laser was already comparable to the power of second-level High-level Magic!
With such power, dealing with so many Demon Beasts would be more than easy!
He had chosen it precisely because it covered a wide area, making it powerful enough to kill so many Demon Beasts!
"Mo Fan, get ready!"
Song Jie called out to Mo Fan as he prepared to release his magic at the Demon Beasts!
Mo Fan nodded, simultaneously looking forward to seeing how Song Jie would deal with them!
Song Jie slowly raised his arm. A huge golden sphere of light was condensing in his palm!
