Chapter 2645 Wall of Fear

A white mist, like a thick boat made of clouds, was approaching rapidly from the east. A sea monster covered in a heavy purple-red shell was riding the mist as it swept across the sky above Lanyang. The river had turned into a raging dragon under the sea monster’s control. It was overflowing and destroying the villages, hills, and forests along its path.

The raging dragon turned out to be countless Sharkmen. They were riding up against the rapid currents, which gradually grew into a ferocious wave as it cleared a path on the ground!

They had obviously sensed the Earth Pistil and were heading toward the mountain city. They would soon surround the city completely with their numbers and speed.

“The whole horde of Sharkmen is coming. The creature in the sky is most likely a Sharkman Chieftain!” Lingling pointed at the huge beast in the sky.

“What should we do now? If we don’t leave now, we will be trapped here. We can’t afford to fight the Sharkmen. That huge beast in the sky is at least as strong as the Sea Skeleton King!” Zhao Manyan gasped. The Sharkmen were well aware of the mischief happening in their territory. The group had no time to go after the Northern Sacred Bears.

“We have to reconsider our plan. Even if we take back the Earth Flame Pistil from the Northern Sacred Bears, it’s unlikely we will leave Lanyang alive,” Mu Bai said somberly.

“There’s only one way out for us.” Xinxia looked at the mountain city and said, “We’ll wait for the Northern Sacred Bears to prepare the Teleportation Portal. We’ll take the Earth Flame Pistil and escape through their Teleportation Portal!”

Zhao Manyan looked at Xinxia with a gaping mouth.

Did everyone enjoy dancing on the tip of a blade and having a disco in front of their graves after hanging out with Mo Fan for too long?

What if they could not beat the Northern Sacred Bears?

What if the Magic Formation was destroyed?

What if the Sharkmen arrived before the Magic Formation was completed? Why must it be so exciting!?

“Good idea!” Lingling nodded, agreeing it was a viable plan.

“Can I be your backup, then?” Zhao Manyan suggested gloomily.

The others rolled their eyes at Zhao Manyan. He shrugged and followed them.

Fine, these guys never had a Plan B. They preferred to go all the way!

The city on the mountain was split in half by the river, with smaller towns scattered in its vicinity.

The towns and villages had been taken over by the Lance Spine Bears within the past year. The spike-covered creatures were frequently seen running amok and smashing walls down across the place.

The Lance Spine Bears had a natural urge to destroy things. Woods, rocks, vegetation; everything that blocked their path was like a waving piece of red cloth, urging them to smash it into pieces.

The abandoned city was now covered in debris. The farms nearby were also in ruins and covered in old blood.

The Northern Sacred Bears were treating the desolated city as their temporary base. They had set up a Wall of Fear. The Lance Spine Bears that accidentally stumbled into the Wall would be overwhelmed by fear and run away.

There was a nursing home located up on a hill. Its walls were used as a convenient barrier for the Wall of Fear. The demon creatures would only roam around outside its walls.

The Sharkmen were not active in the area. Even though they were able to walk on land, they preferred to stay close to water. The icy river running through the city was too small for them.

Mo Fan frowned as he drew close to the Wall of Fear.

It seemed like there was someone good at White Magic with the Northern Sacred Bears. Mo Fan did not like fighting enemies with the Psychic Element or the Sound Element, as they could greatly suppress his abilities. “Dragon Sense!”

Mo Fan closed his eyes and scanned the surroundings with the special ability of the Black Dragon Helm.

The Wall of Fear looked like trees full of thorns from the Dragon Sense’s perspective. Their branches and leaves wrapped around the hill perfectly. It was unlikely Mo Fan could go over them. He had to look for an opening elsewhere…

—

The two brothers crossed their arms in front of their chests, safe inside the nursing home. They were standing beside some fitness racks in the garden that had been painted pink. They looked like two ferocious bears who could tear anyone into pieces with their shaggy hair and beards.

Behind the two brothers was an old man with a goatee. He was dressed in a tight suit with a red bow tie. The handkerchief in his chest pocket, the golden watch on his wrist, and the silver staff he was holding were showing his older style.

The old man suddenly moved his lips.

“What is it, Santel?” Kunoy asked.

“Nothing, a Lance Spine Bear just accidentally broke through my Wall of Fear,” Santel sniffed.

“Oh, is it going to be a problem?” Kunoy asked.

“Even though I know a cunning guinea pig has used a Lance Spine Bear to break a hole in the wall, it’s nothing serious,” Old Santel declared confidently. He had seen through the intruder’s trick with ease.

“I’ll go take a look with you,” Yangel said.

“That won’t be necessary,” Old Santel replied.

“It’s fine, you can handle it yourself. I’ll just watch,” Yangel persisted.

The two jumped down from the hill and quickly reached the middle of the area.

Old Santel had sharp eyes, and was scanning the trees and shrubs like an eagle. Even a worm could not escape his eyes.

“Some guinea pigs enjoy pulling off some smart tricks in front of their predators, but they can never hide from the eagles that are looking down from the sky!” Old Santel stared at the shadows with a smug expression. Yangel followed his gaze. He was confused. Was there really someone over there?

A figure walked out of the shadow. It was an Asian man with a handsome face.

“In the end, you still didn’t want to give up. Don’t you know it’s going to cost you your life? As a strong young Mage, you might be less wary of the consequences of your actions, but you should really use this thing of yours to balance whether you are being reckless or simply asking for death!” Yangel shouted, pointing at his head.
