If it had been ten minutes ago, Mo Fan would be suffering from a headache as he had no clue how to get rid of the demon leeches. However, Mo Fan now had a way to eliminate them quickly even if they were scattered across the place and attacking different targets, let alone when the demon leeches were grouped together!

Mo Fan no longer had to rely on other spells. His eyes flickered sharply. More than ten launchers were set up close to him. There was no need for him to be afraid, no matter how many demon leeches there were!

The air bolts would only cause space to shudder. The demon leeches were unable to sense them as they had rather weak senses, let alone dodge the air bolts.

Puncturing the demon leeches once was not going to kill them. Shen Qing had already proven that. However, Mo Fan’s air bolts would keep returning to his side, not to mention there were so many of them under his command!

The demon leeches had broken into a castle with countless machine guns waiting for them. They were covered in holes before they got within ten meters from Mo Fan. The air bolts did not have the slightest stains from their blood. They flew back to Mo Fan before being fired in a new volley!

Both the demon leeches in the distance and those planning to ambush Mo Fan nearby failed to escape from the air bolts. Blood and remains were soon scattered all over the second floor. Some fell to the first floor and turned the water there into a red pool.

The demon leeches finally realized how stupid it was to attack the human Mage. They stopped climbing to the higher floors after witnessing the fall of their comrades, and began to retreat into the water.

Shen Qing, who had escorted the last group of civilians to the third floor, stood at the stairs and stared blankly at the show Mo Fan was putting on.

She had met Space Mages in the Magic Association, but she had never seen anyone so adept with Telekinesis. Most of the time, the demon creatures were not terrifying because of their strength, but because of their numbers. However, their numbers did not seem to matter much against the Space Mage before her!

“Put…put me down!” the fatty pleaded.

“Are you sure you want to come down?”

“Bring me up, I want to go up!” the fatty yelled.

Mo Fan smiled, and tossed the fatty to the third floor. A foul smell lingered in the air as soon as the man landed on the ground.

“Brother, thanks for your help!” Mo Fan did not forget to thank the man.

“A man like you should go to Hell!” the fatty snarled.

The fatty suddenly noticed glares directed at him from the surroundings. They were from the civilians and workers of the shopping mall that Mo Fan had rescued.

The fatty quickly shut his mouth, worried that he might bring misfortune to himself again…

“The demon leeches won’t show up again anytime soon, but we’ll need people to keep an eye on the ventilation and ducts in case the demon leeches climb up through them,” Mo Fan told Shen Qing after he reached the third floor.

Several people had gathered around Shen Qing. They seemed to be other Mages who happened to be inside the shopping lot. They had witnessed how Mo Fan had slaughtered the demon leeches, and were utterly impressed by his strength.

“I told them about the evacuation plan during the next eight hours. They are willing to help us escort the people from the shopping lot to the Xinglin Route.” Shen Qing’s attitude toward Mo Fan had shifted. She was no longer as cold as she used to be.

“Oh, that’s great! We still have a lot of things to do,” Mo Fan agreed.

“I’ll set up a pathway for them. I might need you to cross the bridge and relocate the people in the other shopping area to here,” Shen Qing told him.

“Alright, I’ll go now. Fatty, are you interested in following me around and doing good deeds for the people? We had a pleasant time working together just then,” Mo Fan asked the fatty who was lying feebly on the ground.

“Please, spare me!” the fatty cried out, bursting into tears.

“There’s no point in going now,” Lingling said.

Lingling was standing close to a window. Her eyes were fixed on the Phase Two building across the street.

Mo Fan and Shen Qing immediately ran to the window and saw the cylinder-shaped Second Phase building was already covered by darkness. Both its inside and outside were crawling with demon leeches. It looked like a huge nest of demon leeches from afar instead of a shopping area!

“But there are people…” a middle-aged Mage blurted out, but could not finish the sentence.

Mo Fan gasped. He felt like something was stuck in his throat.

The fatty crawled to his feet and said with a trembling voice, “The First Phase is bigger with more people. The Second Phase usually has fewer people. We should consider ourselves lucky.”

Some people had come from the cylinder-shaped building to the shopping area Mo Fan was in, thus the majority of the survivors were taking shelter in the First Phase. The building was studier too, but Mo Fan believed there were some people who had decided to stay at the cylinder-shaped building instead.

Mo Fan let out a sigh as he stared at the black nest of demon leeches across the spacious street through the window. He thought it was overkill to send him on a rescue mission, but it turned out that even he could only do so much. He had only managed to take care of the people in one building, let alone the whole city!

“Lingling, these demon leeches are quite tricky to deal with. They don’t need deep water to move around, and can climb up buildings to attack people. They are a huge threat to civilians. Let’s organize the information we have learned so far and send it to Zhuang Hong.” Mo Fan turned around, not wanting to stare at the terrifying sight any longer.

“I’ve already sent out the information. The way they move, the way they attack, and their range of attack…” Lingling was far ahead of him.

Shen Qing was expressionless now. She initially thought the greatest threat was the Armor Antenna Sea Monster that would show up in several hours, yet they had encountered these demon leeches, which they had never seen before, hunting the civilians unrestrainedly after less than an hour. Shen Qing could not help but worry about what other terrifying creatures they might encounter next!

“Where are you going?” Shen Qing asked with a confused face when she saw Mo Fan going toward the Second Phase.

“I’ll check out the bridge and see if I can save a few of them. If there’s no one alive, I’ll destroy the bridge to stop the demon leeches from coming over,” Mo Fan said.

“Oh, alright, that’s fine… I’ll set up the zip lines for you.” Shen Qing refocused quickly.
