Zhang Yang was in a hurry to get the Iron Wall War Pattern, in fact, there was a more important reason, that is, he wanted to take Wu Yuan to start the Hero Trial.

But the Heroic Trial can be dangerous, and in order to prevent yourself from dying in it, it is necessary to have more life-saving means.

For example, a better quality Imprisoned Spear, such as an armor shield enchanted with an iron wall spell, for example, enough mana, this magical power is something that Zhang Yang will never forget.

"Good news, village chief, we have found a stone mine. ”

Just as Zhang Yang was standing in front of the Wood Demon Tower, about to start refining the demon blood again, a soldier ran back excitedly to report.

"What, in which direction, and how far?"

As soon as he was excited, he didn't care about refining demon blood, stone mines are very important, this is necessary to build a real castle, a city wall, not a fortress made of mud and giant wood used now.

"Returning to the village elder, in the southeast, about sixteen or seventeen miles away, in a valley, there are still traces of mining in it, Captain Wu Yuan asked me to come back and report the news, because he guessed that this may be the bighorn deer mined. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yang immediately understood, and at the same time, a rudimentary topographic map quickly appeared in his mind.

Ten days earlier, he had first appeared in the forest about five kilometers south of the village, and then he had turned about two kilometers northwest and encountered the Spider Lord, where he spent the night encountering the Wooden.

The direction in which the Wood Demon came was northwest or due north.

The group fought fiercely with the Wood Demon and eventually killed him about three kilometers southwest of the village, where they encountered the Deer Demon and finally fled to the area where they established a village.

And now, six or seven kilometers southeast of the village, the quarry of the deer demon village has been discovered, so does it mean that the deer demon's village is actually in the east, southeast, and south directions of this quarry?

Could the gnolls' village be within a radius of no more than fifty kilometers?

"I'll have to go and see for myself, it's not a trivial matter, although the deer demon's village has already been ransacked by the gnolls, but maybe something will come of it. ”

Thinking of this, Zhang Yang immediately transferred four bow captains and four shield captains, and additionally instructed Qin Yidao to lead the remaining 15 bow captains to defend the fortress.

Outside the fortress, Zhang Yang told Liang Shortleg, the leader of the cutting team, who was also with several shield captains.

In addition, there are more than a dozen captain-level soldiers in the training ground, over there, and there are more than a dozen captain-level soldiers in this kind of force, as long as they don't encounter a strong enemy like the deer demon and the gnoll village chief, there is no need to worry about anything.

Then, Zhang Yang ran all the way with nine soldiers, at this time there was no need to worry about encountering any little monsters, firstly, the little monsters around here had already been cleaned up a lot, and secondly, it seemed that a powerful village had been established, and many lonely little monsters did not dare to approach at all.

Of course, this thing is not absolute, for example, on the road, Zhang Yang saw a level 4 black panther appear on the tall canopy, and then turned around and ran after seeing them, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"It's fun if all the youkai in this forest are deserters who survived the failure or obliteration of the binders after the village was built and the binders failed or were obliterated, then this would be a lot of fun. ”

Half an hour later, Zhang Yang and his entourage successfully arrived at the valley, where the vegetation is surprisingly scarce, with a stone mountain on one side and a dirt mountain on the other, the so-called quarry is built on the stone mountain, and you can clearly see the traces of being excavated, as well as dozens of one-meter-square boulders, which have been excavated but have not had time to transport back.

Following these excavated traces, a rudimentary road can be seen extending beyond the valley.

"The village chief. ”

Wu Yuan greeted him, looking very excited, "I just took someone to explore this road out of the valley, out of this valley and continue to the south, after three or four miles, around a hill, is a large area of flat land, three miles wide from east to west, ten miles long from north to south, the village of the bighorn deer is there, because the field of vision is too wide, so I didn't dare to venture forward." ”

"As for this quarry, I have also looked into it carefully, and I think that the miners here must be mountain monsters, although it is not known how the bighorn deer controlled these mountain monsters. In addition, based on the traces here, we determined that the mountain monsters who mined the stone should have been there before yesterday, but then they all left, and there are no signs of fighting here. ”

"So I'm supposing that they might all have been recruited by the gnolls. ”

After listening to Wu Yuan's analysis, Zhang Yang nodded, "Let's go, go and see the legacy left by the deer demon." ”

Along the valley to the south, sure enough, there is a road that has been stepped on, and looking at the traces, it has been at least more than a year.

Ten minutes later, after bypassing a small hill, the front suddenly opened up, and there was a large open space.

It's flat, I'm afraid it's close to ten square kilometers, but the clearing is clearly artificially carved out, as traces of newly cut trees can be seen at the edge of the forest.

And in the middle of this flat land, the first thing you see is a strange castle that has not yet been built, and this castle and the castle of humans are completely different concepts.

The latter castles were meant for defense, better defense, so were quite strong and tall walls.

But this castle of the deer demon is different, there are three towers in the middle, surrounded by radial stone walls, there are about a dozen of them, if you look at the sky and ignore the three towers, it is very similar to the ray pattern emitted by the sun.

Completely defenseless performance.

However, considering the physique of the bighorn deer, as well as their single combat method, this design seems to be no problem, without any obstacles, the heavy antlers can rush out like a tide, especially in this kind of large-scale plain, whoever comes will die!

Zhang Yang observed carefully for a few minutes, and then rubbed his teeth, from a human point of view, this village of Bighorn Deer made him feel insecure.

He didn't even think about going over and taking a look at it now.

"Wu Yuan, what do you think?"

"Returning to the village elder, this place is a dangerous place for soldiers. Wu Yuan shook his head, and was also very cautious.

"Then withdraw!"

Zhang Yang was also decisive, but just as they turned to leave, a rumbling sound suddenly sounded in the woods a few miles away, like an earthquake, and when they looked back, everyone was dead.

I saw two or three hundred heavily armed antlered cavalry rushing out of the dense woods, like a tide, and the smoke and dust were billowing and terrifying.

"Run!"

Zhang Yang shouted, and he couldn't help but be fortunate in his heart, thanks to his curiosity, if he suddenly encountered these heavily armored antlers in a flat and empty clearing, then not to mention that he was a few dozen people, even hundreds of captain-level soldiers, I am afraid that he would have to kneel.

Can't be provoked, can't be provoked!

The hundreds of heavily armed antlers rumbled until they reached the edge of the forest, and then they stopped chasing, just screaming with great triumph.

They are not stupid, as long as they enter the forest, then it is difficult to say who will do it.

"It seems that the previous gnoll village chief didn't seem to get much benefit here, think about the deer demon who died enough to be aggrieved, such a big foundation, carelessly, and now all of them have become a nest of wild monsters, a lesson from the past!"

Zhang Yang couldn't help but be vigilant about himself.
