Chapter 65 A Chance Encounter with Lin Yuxin
After the demons were dealt with, the main force escorted by the Magic Association continued their journey. The matter of the baby girl was just a minor incident on the way to the safe zone.
The large group encountered numerous attacks from demons as they passed through streets and abandoned residential areas. Despite the escort provided by the Magic Association, casualties still occurred, including among its members. Survivors who had awakened magic began to voluntarily join the Magic Association to participate in the escort mission.
"Guild Master, it seems there are mages fighting demons ahead. Should we send reinforcements?" A young man approached Jiang Kun to report on his reconnaissance.
"Okay, Jiang Jing, take a few brothers and go rescue them." Jiang Kun immediately dispatched Jiang Jing and his men to provide support without hesitation.
This is the outer city, a maze of narrow streets and alleys. Such places are extremely vulnerable to attacks from demons lurking in the shadows, so everyone passing through must remain vigilant. Just as they reached the outskirts of the main street, Jiang Jing and his companions clearly heard the sounds of fighting in the distance. At the entrance of a department store, a young woman dressed in a mage's uniform was protecting a middle-aged man from an attack by three or four giant-eyed, bloody rats.
"Raging waves, drive them away!!!"
A huge wave appeared out of nowhere and swept away the giant-eyed blood rats that were rushing towards them. Although the young woman was using the mid-level water magic Storm Wave, she was no match for the sheer number of giant-eyed blood rats and ended up in a rather disheveled state.
"I'll hold off these giant-eyed rats for you, Mr. Mo, you need to run away!" the young woman shouted.
If Mo Fan were here, he would definitely recognize who this young woman is. She is Lin Yuxin, who rescued Mo Fan from the secret chamber of the Earthly Sacred Spring. She had promised Mo Fan that she would protect him if he encountered his father. Since she had promised Mo Fan, she would definitely not let Mo Jiaxing get hurt.
"Then, Lord Lin..." Mo Jiaxing hesitated behind Lin Yuxin, unsure whether to leave alone.
"Squeak squeak squeak~~~" A giant, bloody rat pounced while Lin Yuxin was talking to Mo Jiaxing. If it got bitten, it would be crippled even if it didn't die. Lin Yuxin's heart sank to the bottom when she saw this. She could guess what would happen next.
"Sizzle, explode!!!"
"Earth wave displacement!!"
Two sounds came from afar, and then Lin Yuxin saw a ball of fire strike the giant-eyed rat that pounced on her. As for her and Mo Jiaxing, they were also moved out of the encirclement of the three or four giant-eyed rats by the earth wave.
Upon seeing that the people she had rescued were Jiang Jing and the others, Lin Yuxin said, "Thank you for your help. May I ask what brings you here?"
"Oh, we're from the Magic Association. We're responsible for escorting the surviving citizens of Bo City to the safety barrier. The main force is behind us. We just discovered that someone is fighting a demon here, so the president sent us to see if we could rescue you. If we could, we would. Alright, let's deal with the demon in front of us first, then I'll take you to see our president," Jiang Jing said calmly.
"Okay, let's deal with these giant-eyed rats first." Lin Yuxin nodded.
As Jiang Jing spoke, he and the others confronted the giant-eyed rats. Lin Yuxin followed behind Jiang Jing and rushed forward. In an instant, various spells flew everywhere. After two rounds of magical attacks, the three or four giant-eyed rats were dead beyond any doubt.
After dealing with the giant-eyed rat, Jiang Jing and the others returned to the main force with Lin Yuxin and Mo Jiaxing. Jiang Kun and several high-ranking members of the Magic Association were standing at the front of the group, so he noticed Mo Jiaxing after they returned.
"Brother Mo, I didn't expect it to be you." Jiang Kun greeted Mo Jiaxing with a smile.
Mo Jiaxing chuckled and said, "Yes, Brother Jiang, I didn't expect to run into you here. What brings you here?"
"Oh, so you know I work for the Magic Association. This time, our association took in quite a few surviving citizens of Bo City, and this mission was to escort them to the safety barrier." Jiang Kun didn't hide anything and gave a brief explanation.
"Sigh, I was originally driving to deliver supplies to the guards at Xuefeng Mountain Post Station, but on my way back I encountered a demon attack on the city. If it weren't for the good fortune of meeting Lord Lin, I probably would have already perished in the hands of the demons." Mo Jiaxing said, looking at Lin Yuxin with considerable gratitude.
Jiang Kun then noticed Lin Yuxin, who had returned with Jiang Jing and the others. He had been so focused on Mo Jiaxing that he hadn't noticed Lin Yuxin until now. He smiled and greeted her, after all, he had to give Master Wei face.
After learning Jiang Kun's identity from Jiang Jing and the others, Lin Yuxin immediately stood up straight and bowed, saying, "Lin Yuxin, deputy captain of the Earthly Holy Spring Guard, greets Vice President Jiang."
"Hmm, Vice Captain Lin, would you like to join us in escorting the surviving citizens of Bo City to the safety barrier?" Jiang Kun suggested with a smile.
"As a guardian of the law, I have a responsibility to protect the surviving citizens of Bo City," Lin Yuxin said firmly.
"Then welcome Vice Captain Lin to the team." Jiang Jing walked over with a smile.
When the main force arrived at the safety barrier, there were hundreds fewer surviving citizens of Bo City, and the Magic Association that escorted them also suffered heavy losses, with many perishing on the way to the safety barrier.
Not long after arriving at the safety barrier, Jiang Kun heard that the surviving students of Tianlan Magic High School had arrived at the safety barrier ahead of time under the escort of the mage. Although Jiang Kun knew that Jiang Han was already a mid-level mage, he couldn't help but worry about Jiang Han's safety during a disaster like the Blood Alert. Now that he knew that Jiang Han was alright, the weight on Jiang Kun's heart was lifted.
"President Jiang, our leader Zhan Kong has something to discuss with you." A uniformed mage informed Jiang Kun.
Jiang Kun glanced at the mage and asked, "Has the Xuefeng Mountain post station fallen?"
"Yes, it's fallen." The monk Wei's expression darkened considerably when he spoke of the fall of the Snow Peak Mountain post station.
"Don't blame yourself too much. You monks have already done enough. If you hadn't held the Xuefeng Mountain post station, even fewer surviving citizens would have made it to the safety barrier." Jiang Kun reached out and patted the monk on the shoulder.
Master Wei nodded and led Jiang Kun to see Zhan Kong. Zhan Kong was in a watchtower built with earth magic. The watchtower was more than ten meters high. When Jiang Kun arrived at the top of the watchtower, in addition to seeing Zhan Kong wearing a blue trench coat, he also saw Jiang Han and Mo Fan, which surprised him a bit.
A dozen minutes before Jiang Kun arrived at the watchtower, Zhan Kong had already summoned Mo Fan and Jiang Han to the watchtower.
"Where is the Earthly Sacred Spring?" Zhan Kong asked, looking at Mo Fan.
"Oh, I almost forgot. Eh? Where's the Earthly Holy Spring?" Mo Fan said, taking out the bottle containing the Earthly Holy Spring from his pocket, but he was stunned when he saw the empty bottle.
Zhan Kong stared wide-eyed at the empty bottle Mo Fan had pulled out and asked, "Is this the Earthly Sacred Spring you were going to give me?"
"Damn, could it be that Little Mudskipper couldn't resist drinking the Earthly Sacred Spring? Little Mudskipper, you've really gotten me into trouble this time! Of all things to drink, why did you have to drink the Earthly Sacred Spring?" Mo Fan panicked at the thought of Little Mudskipper's unusual behavior towards the Earthly Sacred Spring.
Mo Fan said awkwardly, "That instructor Zhan Kong, I was probably thirsty and drank from the Earthly Sacred Spring. I completely forgot that the bottle contained the Earthly Sacred Spring, and by the time I realized it, it was too late."
Zhan Kong's eyelids twitched. "You brat, are you kidding me? Is the Earthly Sacred Spring the kind of cheap, cheap drink you get from a street vendor? You think you can just drink it because you're thirsty? Do you know what the Earthly Sacred Spring means to Bo City? It's the foundation of Bo City for thousands of years! And you just drank it by mistake?"
