When night came, the inhabitants of Rook Town did not sleep as usual. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The elders of the town had been led by Randolph into the makeshift safe house, which Snow had specially remodeled, with thickened wooden doors and completely sealed windows, leaving only thumb-sized ventilation holes. Arlene and Briss were also in the safe house, and as for Elena, Snow said that she had prepared some things in her room, but she had already sneaked out of town. She needs to be close to the beasts when she uses her magic, and she needs to avoid everyone's gaze.

All the rest of the inhabitants, armed with weapons, scattered under the walls of the town on all sides, waited for the arrival of the beasts.

After the blacksmith shop worked day and night, 200 arrowheads made of gold, iron and stone have all been installed on the shafts. Mandathan led twenty archers, each with ten sharp arrows, to ambush the west and north sides of the town. With the frozen Lianxi River to the east and the cattle pastures to the south, the beasts rarely choose to attack from these two directions, as was evident when some of the beasts attacked the town before.

Snow led a pair of patrols to and from all sides of the town, adjusting the deployment of personnel.

"Captain, did you say that the beasts will really come to attack us tonight?" With a bow and arrow in hand, Bias asked nervously as he looked at the darkness outside the town. He was the first archer to pick out by Mandathan, and the young man was very talented, and after a few days of contact, he was able to shoot accurately at targets within twenty meters.

Just after lunch at noon, Snow suddenly gathered the residents of the town and gave orders one after another with a serious expression.

"The mayor said yes." Mandason stared ahead and whispered back.

"Then you say, can we withstand the attacks of the beasts?" Bias asked, a little uneasy.

"The mayor said it should be fine." Mandason lay behind the wall, slowly drew his arrow, and gently placed it on the wall.

"Then you say ......"

"Why do you kid talk so much nonsense." Mandathon interrupted Bias's question impatiently, and said with a frown, "Remember, as long as we follow the orders of the mayor, we will definitely be able to repel the beast." ”

"Oh." Bias craned his neck and nodded.

"It's so quiet." Mandason muttered to himself, the four beasts outside the town should have arrived at this time. But today, the four beasts uncharacteristically did not appear. And outside the town, except for the occasional rumor, there was not the slightest abnormal noise. The silence before the storm made Mandason feel very uneasy.

"How? Is there any movement? At midnight, Snow and his escort came to Mandathan's side, looked at the darkness outside the town, and asked.

"Lord Town, no trace of the beast has been found." Mandason frowned and replied, "But tonight was a little too calm. ”

"They're waiting." Snow stared solemnly at the outside of the town, "Wait for a leader who can't bear it." ”

As soon as Snow's voice fell, the sharp-eyed Fuao on the side pointed forward, and said with a hint of panic in his tone: "Mayor, look! ”

Following the direction of Fu Ao's finger, Snow and the others hurriedly looked. In an instant, the sound of gasping air was heard from behind the wall. I saw that in the northwest corner of the town, a pair of eyes emitting a green light, like fireflies floating in the dark night, swayed up and down, left and right, approaching the town.

"Wolves, wolves!" Bias said in horror that the wolves were not small beasts. Snow's heart trembled, the combat power of the wolves was not ordinarily strong.

"Stinky boy, scared you stupid." Mandason on the side raised his hand and slapped Bias on the head, "Look clearly, is that a pack of wolves?" During this time, Bias often pestered Mandason to give him the knowledge to identify wild beasts, so he looked at the green spots of light and thought he was a pack of wolves.

"Mandason, what kind of beasts?" Snow hurriedly asked.

"It should be a hyena group, there are quite a few of them, more than twenty of them." Mandasen said with a frown, staring at the bright spots that were getting closer and closer in the darkness.

"Hyenas? Aren't they supposed to be found in tropical or subtropical regions? Snow said in surprise that Snow had seen hyenas in the animal world before. These dog-like carnivores, with terrible bites and well-developed cleft teeth, are the only mammals capable of chewing bones.

Hyenas usually hunt at night and are extremely fast, preferring to round up their prey in groups. Of the more than 20 hyenas, even the adult panther had to retreat three points.

"What did you just say, Gregory?" Mandason asked in surprise, apparently not understanding Snow's climate division.

"Oh, nothing." Snow waved his hand, maybe the hyenas of this era were still a little different from what he knew, and it was not impossible for them to appear here, "Are these hyenas easy to deal with?" ”

"Hyenas are as cunning as foxes, and they know how to divide and work. If you want to kill them as much as possible, you can only rely on bows and arrows. These hyenas are very attack-powered, they can bite off bones in one bite, and if they get close to them, they will become crippled if they don't die, so they must not be allowed to jump into the town. Mandason said.

"Okay, it's up to you." Snow patted Mandason on the shoulder, and there was a hint of assessment in his tone.

"Don't worry, Elder Town, a hundred sharp arrows can definitely shoot them into hedgehogs." Mandason turned his head and motioned to the ten archers next to him to prepare, and said with a serious face: "Don't panic, wait for the hyenas to get closer, and then release the arrows together after listening to my orders!" ”

The ten archers nodded yes, followed the example of Mandathan, drew their arrows and placed them on the wall in front of them, then took a lightly curved bow and arrow, and stared to the northwest. In addition to being nervous, these archers were also a little excited.

"Don't be too nervous, don't forget, there's a trap outside the town. It's dark and the road is slippery, and maybe all of these hyenas will fall into the trap if they are not careful. Snow looked around, trying to find Elena, but found nothing.

Mandason and the others didn't answer, and although the beast's vision at night would be slightly reduced, it was much better than that of a human. Such a large trap outside the town, as soon as a companion falls into it, they will immediately change lanes. Saying that there is a hyena trick, Mandasen they will all believe it. But to say that more than 20 hyenas all fell into the trap would be a bit of blind optimism.

Just as everyone was nervously watching, suddenly a dark green spot of light flashed from the darkness, and in the blink of an eye, it flew into the hyena herd.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and many people rubbed their eyes, thinking that they were dazzled.

"Mayor Mare...... You see...... Do you see it? Mandason swallowed and looked at Snow. He could be sure that it had absolutely nothing to do with the dazzle just now, and that something had indeed flown into the hyena pack. And the current hyena herd has stopped moving forward, and there is obviously something wrong.

"See." Many people saw it, Snow didn't need to deny it, turned his head to stare at Mandarson, and asked with a puzzled expression, "What are those things?" How is it so fast? ”

"I ...... I do not know. Mandason shook his head, he was sure that the spot that had just swept by lightning would definitely not be a beast, it was too fast.

Snow breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the color of the light spot was familiar to him, and when Elena cast a spell on herself in the mountains and forests that day, the mana in her hand was this dark green light.

"It's finally shot, and whether it can be done next depends on Elena." Snow stared and said secretly in his heart.
