Chapter 1562 General Ethan

Edited by Aelryinth

Mo Fan spread the Dark Material onto Sayed. He made sure that Sayed was carrying enough Dark Material so he could move on to the next step.

When Sayed turned the corner, his shadow crossed the shadow of a huge vase nearby. Sayed and the two female soldiers did not notice his shadow thinning down.

Sayed’s footsteps and the sound of their conversation slowly faded into the distance. Mo Fan was just about to come out of the shadow when he noticed a surveillance camera aimed at him.

Luckily, I didn’t come out right away. Otherwise, I would have been compromised, Mo Fan muttered to himself.

There were people watching the surveillance cameras 24/7 in a military base like this. They might not see Mo Fan, but if they saw shadows moving on their own, the experienced watchers would know that a Shadow Mage had infiltrated their base. They would immediately send Light Mages after him!

Mo Fan waited patiently. He soon heard a bunch of footsteps pa.s.sing by at a quick pace.

Mo Fan waited for their shadows to get closer. He quickly moved into their shadows and took a convenient ride to the next location.

Saving Apas’ life was more important than taking Gangma’s life. Mo Fan decided to put Gangma aside for now. He followed the guidance of the shadow fly while searching for Apas in the building’s complicated layout.

The structure had many levels and extremely complicated hallways. Every corner was covered by a surveillance camera, so Mo Fan had no choice but to rely on soldiers that were pa.s.sing by to move around.

“Why isn’t anyone coming yet?” Mo Fan began to panic as he waited in a corner under a light stand.

There were fewer soldiers pa.s.sing by the deeper he ventured into the building, most likely because the soldiers needed higher clearances to move through that area.

Just as Mo Fan was about to lose his patience, he heard the crisp sounds of boots tapping on the floor. He quickly looked toward the sounds and saw an old man in a black military coat heading in his direction.

The military coat was too big for him, almost touching the ground. The old man suddenly halted in his tracks when he came closer to Mo Fan.

Mo Fan’s heart skipped a beat!

Don’t tell me the guy is able to detect my presence!? Mo Fan was dumbfounded.

The old man seemed to have stopped because a sudden thought had crossed his mind. He continued forward after pausing for a few seconds. Mo Fan conveniently attached to the old man’s shadow.

However, for some reason, Mo Fan immediately regretted his decision after he hopped a ride.

The old man’s cultivation was outstanding. If he happened to be a Light Mage or a Shadow Mage, he would have noticed Mo Fan by now.

To his relief, the old man did not show any reaction.

The old man’s destination was not where Mo Fan was planning to go. He parted ways with the old man who had helped him travel quite a distance before reaching the entrance of a s.p.a.cious hall in the underground.

Mo Fan was a little worried even after he separated from the old man’s shadow. He had a feeling that the old man was aware of his presence. If the old man knew he was an intruder, he clearly would not have stood a chance against the old man.

Mo Fan found a ladder not being watched by a surveillance camera that led him a level down. The place was very dark too, a perfect environment for Mo Fan to sneak around in.

The door of the hall shut tight. The hunchbacked old man walked to the center of the place. A few soldiers waiting inside the hall immediately panicke, and quickly saluted with utter respect.

The soldier in charge straightened up and asked, “Great Commander, how can we help you?”

“Oh, I must have come to the wrong place. I should be going upstairs. I must be old to make such a careless mistake,” General Haken shook his head and sighed.

“Please, it’s my honor to walk you there!” the soldier quickly volunteered.

“That won’t be necessary, focus on the tasks on hand,” General Haken waved his hand and walked out the door.

He glanced in the direction that Mo Fan had gone in and put on a confused face. “What’s that kid doing in here?” General Haken mumbled to himself.

Fenna had submitted the proposal of opening up the Gate of the Underworld to her superior long ago. As a General of Cairo’s army, Haken was familiar with the details of her proposal, so he had also read some information about Mo Fan.

General Haken recognized Mo Fan hiding in the shadow, yet he did not expose the young man. He wanted to know why Mo Fan had snuck into the base!

Two levels below the military base…

“The presence of the Shadow Element is very strong here… no wonder the Fiendish Night managed to keep growing,” Mo Fan murmured.

Mo Fan was able to move freely in the darkness. To his surprise, the place was not a military inst.i.tution, but a prison!

The cells were enchanted with dark magic. When Mo Fan peeked into one of the cells, he realized that the cell was not occupied by a human, but a snake-person cowering in the corner!

The snake-human noticed Mo Fan. Its triangle eyes stared at Mo Fan with a hint of anger.

It pounced at Mo Fan and slammed into the door heavily. It wanted to dig its way out of the cage and swallow him.

Mo Fan automatically backed away.

It was common for magic inst.i.tutions to capture demon creatures. The Research Union of the Magic a.s.sociation would often capture demon creatures to observe their behavior and abilities. They also conducted experiments on the demon creatures. As a matter of fact, rumors said that humans had actually learned a lot about magic from the demon creatures!

Mo Fan kept going forward. He was surprised to see the number of cells in the underground. More than a hundred demon creatures were imprisoned here. Among them was a red scorpion imprisoned in a huge cell. Its level was not low at all!

“What is the military up to?” Mo Fan was even more confused.

He was getting closer to Apas’ location. He finally found the right place, locked in a cell protected by magic formations.

The cell was different from the others, filled with a kind of blue rock crystal. The walls were covered in the same rock crystals. It was magnificent, like a blue palace.

Mo Fan heard footsteps approaching from behind him before he could take a closer look at the cell.

He turned around and saw a man with a ma.s.sive build. He had cold, imperious eyes that glittered in the dark.

Mo Fan was immediately on alert. He stared at the man approaching him.

“Why would you bother coming all the way here? Don’t you know it’s time to give up after learning that the authorities of this country are involved? Or perhaps you never learned when you were in your own country that the more eager you are to seek the truth, the worse situation you’ll find yourself in!?” the man spoke in a calm voice.

“Who are you?” Mo Fan asked in return.

“Gangma’s superior, the Commander-in-chief of this battle, Generl Ethan! Don’t worry, I’m not going to harm you. I just want to talk. I know who you are,” Ethan replied calmly.

The man did not attack Mo Fan. He could kill Mo Fan in an instant if Mo Fan did not use his Demon Element.

The man was not displaying any intention to attack Mo Fan. He walked toward the cell and waved his hand to deactivate the magic Formation.

Mo Fan was utterly confused about what the man was up to. To his surprise, the man invited him into the cell with a gesture.

Mo Fan knew it was meaningless to fight back under the circ.u.mstances. He walked inside the cell.

General Ethan walked in front of him, as if he was leading the way.

“Calm down, I just want you to listen to what I have to say,” General Ethan said.

“Does someone like you really have to justify yourself to me?” Mo Fan asked sharply.

General Ethan smiled and said, “An old friend of mine gave me a piece of friendly advice. She told me not to provoke you, or things were going to get extremely complicated.”

“An old friend?” Mo Fan frowned.

“She’s your enemy. I know how extraordinary you are. I don’t want you to bring me any trouble. I hate troubles; the Pyramid of Khafre is already a huge pain in the a.s.s for me!” General Ethan kept going forward.

They walked past a dozen huge pillars and arrived at a place covered in white goose feathers.

The goose feathers were scattered on the ground like a luxurious bed, but a Princess of Egypt was not lying on it. It was a Medusa, her face and upper body covered by her hair, her lower body covered in glittering red scales!

It was the young Medusa that Mo Fan had stumbled into before. He clearly remembered her blue face.

The young Medusa picked up Mo Fan’s scent, and extended out angrily. Her body was very flexible. She slowly moved forward while using her tail to support her long body.

Her sticky hair looked very disgusting. Her blue face and body resembled a woman, yet they were far from beautiful.

The young Medusa moved closer to Mo Fan and stuck her tongue out. It gently touched Mo Fan’s face while he remained motionless.

Mo Fan had even beaten up a Scorpion Lord Medusa, who might even be the young Medusa’s grandmother. Why would he be afraid of the young Medusa? Even if the young Medusa grew up, she might only be a Red Scorpion Gorgon, an average Ruler-level creature!
