Tao Jing had successfully made the Rock Monster angry. It jumped onto a building and tore its roof off with brute force, lifting it above its head!

BANG!

The Rock Monster tossed the roof at her. Tao Jing backed away in a panic and hid behind a warehouse. To her surprise, the Rock Monster's strength was absolutely terrifying. Not only did the hurled roof smash the warehouse into pieces, it even knocked her into the air!

Tao Jing was covered in ash and cuts inflicted by the flying debris. She gasped in pain as blood poured out from her wounds.

"Tao Jing, don't force yourself, let me handle it!" Lin Qihui quickly ran forward when he saw Tao Jing was injured.

The Rock Monster had already jumped down from the building. Its huge body landed right in front of Lin Qihui. He had initially steeled himself to face the creature, yet he could not help but panic when the Rock Monster landed in front of him with a huge crash.

"Rock...Rock Barrier!" Lin Qihui quickly set up a Rock Barrier to separate the creature from him and Tao Jing, trying to buy some time.

The Rock Monster simply ignored the Rock Barrier, smashing through it with its shoulder like a rugby player. The Rock Barrier shattered like a bubble. It was obvious that an Intermediate Spell Rock Barrier that was not enhanced by a Soul Seed was nowhere enough to withstand the blow!

"Quick, run!" Lin Qihui grabbed Tao Jing's hand and cast Earth Wave when he realized how unfavorable the situation was.

Lin Qihui was very good at using Earth Wave. They managed to flee fifty meters away from the Rock Monster while it broke through the Rock Barrier, and found a spot to hide behind some containers.

"Luckily, that creature isn't fast. We should be able to shake it off if it tried to chase us," Lin Qihui let out a relieved sigh.

The Earth Element was very effective at increasing one's speed when it was not being used for defense. Earth Mages had the lowest death rates in the wild. Lin Qihui was relieved they had gotten to cover in time!

The Rock Monster stared in the direction the two had fled in. It suddenly let out a huge roar and smashed its right fist on the ground!

The roads and streets in the city were made of concrete. The concrete suddenly began to ripple in a strange way after the Rock Monster touched it. It surprisingly softened and started wriggling toward the Rock Monster!

"What's going on? Why is the ground moving!?"

"Damn it, help, it's dragging us toward it!"

The concrete for over a hundred meters around the Rock Monster had turned into a wriggling rug. All the buildings and warehouses were slowly moving toward the Rock Monster!

"That thing is using Earth Magic too. It's an Earth Elemental creature!" Tao Jing shouted.

"I know that, but what else can we do!?" Lin Qihui yelled back in fear.

Elemental creatures were a special kind of demon creature. They were usually born in places with extreme levels of certain Elements. Their appearance was related to their Elements most of the time. For example, Little Flame Belle looked like she was made of fire.

The Rock Monster was obviously a similar existence. They usually had control over their respective Element, and that control was usually greater than human Mages. Therefore, using the Earth Element in front of the Rock Monster was like trying to display their skill before an expert!

The Rock Monster's level was incomparable to a blessed creature like Little Flame Belle, but its magic was still very annoying to human Mages. In addition, the Earth Magic also gave the creature outstanding strength. Even a Warrior-level Elemental creature was several times tougher than a normal demon creature!

Lin Qihui and Tao Jing were using the Earth Wave to run away, but the Rock Monster was using it to drag them back. It was unlikely they could escape unless their cultivation was a lot stronger than the creature!

"We were too confident in ourselves!" Lin Qihui greatly regretted his decision.

He assumed he could easily handle the Rock Monster when he saw how easy the soldiers had defeated one yesterday. However, when it was his turn to face a Rock Monster, he felt like the creature was stronger than him in every way. His defense was too weak against it, and he was having difficulty running away!

The Rock Monster charged at Tao Jing and Lin Qihui when it saw the two were getting closer to it, swinging its fists in the air. Rock particles rapidly attached to its fists during the process.

In less than two seconds, the Rock Monster's fists were wrapped like huge hammers, while its arms were the handles!

The hammers were insanely huge and heavy!

The Rock Monster swung its new rock hammers, fully capable of smashing humans into mincemeat, at Tao Jing and Lin Qihui. The two kept backing away. Their faces had turned extremely pale!

"Rock Fang: Queen of the Night's Bind!" a loud voice rose from not far away.

The Rock Monster was sprinting across the concrete, but three boulders resembling the fangs of a beast suddenly emerged from the ground and blocked the Rock Monster. It tried to smash right through the boulders, but the golden-brown Rock Fangs were too strong for it!

The Rock Monster was struggling to move forward as three more Rock Fangs emerged behind it just when it was about to back away, sealing its escape and trapping it completely!

More Rock Fangs quickly appeared on both sides of the Rock Monster. The huge creature could no longer move sideways!

The Rock Fangs surrounded the Earth Monster like an enormous Queen of the Night blossom. Each Fang resembled a thin and long, yet sturdy, petal of the flower. The Rock Monster was stuck in the middle of the Rock Fangs!

The Rock Fangs curved slightly. Their tips were bending inward slightly, holding the Rock Monster's shoulders and back in place, preventing it from jumping.

The Rock Fangs were perfectly symmetrical, like a cage specifically built for the creature. The Rock Monster was planning to murder its targets with its rock hammers, yet it could only let out a fierce cry now, as it could not even take another step!

"Back off, my magic won't last for long!" Mo Fan shouted at Tao Jing and Lin Qihui.

The two noticed that the Earth Wave dragging them toward the creature had disappeared, and quickly fled into the distance. They turned around and looked at Mo Fan's Rock Fang: Queen of the Night's Bind after reaching a safe distance, and were absolutely dumbfounded. What kind of spell was that? Since when was the Earth Element able to bind a target?
