Just as Meng Chen's heart was terrified, Ellie had already finished chanting the incantation, "Fire everywhere...... Turned into a flaming flame...... Ignite! ”

Immediately after, Ellie stretched out her hand towards Niu Ao, and instantly shot out a red light.

Boom~!

The flames on Niu Ao's body that had been gradually extinguishing were burning again under the illumination of red light.

Yes~!

Niu Ao screamed and frantically slapped the flames around him.

At this point, Alfred caught up again.

Swift Shadow! Wind Elemental Blade! Wind Thrust!

This was Alfred's third all-out attack tonight, and a light blue blade of light stabbed Niu Ao's chest in an instant.

At the moment of life and death, Niu Ao quickly dodged to the left.

Yikes!

A sound of a sword blade entering the body sounded, and the light blue light blade pierced Niu Ao's right shoulder.

Because Niu Ao's defense was too high at the moment, the light blade failed to pierce his body, and only pierced a few inches deep.

Burst~!

After the light blade dissipated, a stream of dark red blood gushed out from the wound on Niu Ao's right shoulder.

"Ah~! You damn bastards, I'm going to tear you all to shreds! Niu Ao roared frantically.

Blood-burning secret method!

Niu Ao clenched his fists and shook his body, and a blood-colored flame ignited on his body.

At this time, Niu Ao was more than two meters tall, his muscles were bursting and twisted to the extreme, his body was densely covered with strange blood lines, and his body surface was burning with a three-meter-high blood-colored flame, looking like a demon from hell.

"Hell! Can a warrior reach this level? Niu Ao can't be a monster in human skin, right? Meng Chen said in horror.

"I ...... Want...... Take you ...... Tore! ”

Niu Ao, who was like a demon, stared at Meng Chen and the others with a hideous face, pressing forward step by step.

"Pills!"

Under Niu Ao's majesty, Meng Chen was already trembling.

Alfred, who shot with all his strength three times, was half-kneeling not far away at the moment, temporarily falling into a state of detachment.

As for Ellie's magic, although it can cause damage to Niu Ao, it is not fatal, at most it will make Niu Ao scream a few times.

Meng Chen could only order the soldiers to step forward and drag the monster Niu Ao with their lives.

At this moment, Niu Ao's footsteps suddenly stopped, and his already hideous face became even more terrifying.

The muscles under the skin of the strange blood streaks began to twist and wriggle rapidly, like huge earthworms.

"No...... No...... No! ”

Niu Ao covered his chest with his hands and yelled with horror on his face.

Alfred, who was half-kneeling, changed his face and shouted, "All soldiers, retreat immediately!" ”

Meng Chen looked stunned for a moment, then grabbed Ellie and retreated, while shouting, "All soldiers, retreat immediately!" ”

As Niu Ao's body twisted more and more, the strange blood lines on the surface of his body emitted dazzling blood-colored streamers.

Rumble~!

A violent explosion rang out, and Niu Ao burst like a human bomb.

Dead branches, leaves, gravel, and even trees were pushed away by an unstoppable shockwave.

The huge impact force generated by Niu Ao's self-explosion left a huge crater with a diameter of 20 meters and a maximum depth of nearly 2 meters.

After the aftermath gradually subsided, Meng Chen spat out a mouth full of sand, got up from the dirt, and asked Ellie beside him, "Are you okay, Ellie?" ”

Ellie shook her head and pursed her lips and smiled, "Thank you, Lord Lord!" ”

"Niu Ao's self-detonation method is very similar to that of the Flamemane Lion, there must be a secret between the Blood Refining Sect and the fierce beast!" Meng Chen said secretly in his heart.

Unlike the Flamemane Lion's self-detonation, Niu Ao's self-detonation leaves nothing left, except for 500 XP and 80 Soul Power.

After gathering the soldiers, Meng Chen led Alfred and Ellie back to the inner city of the City of Hope.

The invasion of fifteen Blood Refining Sect disciples brought a lot of losses to the City of Hope.

A total of ten sword and shield warriors and eighteen elite swordsmen were killed, and eight sword and shield warriors and twelve elite swordsmen were seriously injured.

However, relative to the results, such losses are still acceptable.

With the Darkiron Arrow and the Giant Earth Dragon Venom, the soldiers of the City of Hope can even shoot the Quenching Realm martial artist directly as long as they try to avoid melee combat as much as possible.

After the battle, Meng Chen arranged for the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

One of the most important tasks is to recover more than 600 black iron arrows.

The durability of the Darkiron Arrow is 3, which is equivalent to 3 repeated shots.

When the durability is exhausted, the Darkiron Arrow will be scrapped, but the Darkiron and other metals in it can be recycled again.

After arranging everything properly, Meng Chen returned to the city hall with a tired face, lay down on the soft sofa and quickly fell asleep.

In the days that followed, the City of Hope was in a state of steady development.

Alfred and Ellie, still leading hundreds of soldiers every day, slaughtered in the territory of the two fierce beasts.

With enough soul points and a full amount of experience, the two training camps were running at full speed, cultivating a new soldier.

The time soon came to the beginning of October, when it was already a cold winter season, and the weather was gradually getting cold.

The Evil Moon is still half a month away at most, and the animals are looking for hiding places to prepare for hibernation.

On this day, the stone in the warehouse finally accumulated more than 16,000 units.

Meng Chen came to the southeast corner of the inner city and gave instructions for the construction of a second area of infrastructure.

"Gold - 8000, Stone (Gray) - 16000, Metal (Gray) - 160, start building infrastructure (Tier 1)! After 960 hours, the build was complete! ”

The current inner city looks rather messy due to the ongoing construction of infrastructure.

Countless stone slabs and metal pipes flew in the air, and the ground was pressed into unsightly grooves and pits by the invisible force field.

But these messy scenes are so pleasing to the eye in Meng Chen's eyes, "This is the city I built!" ”

Just as Meng Chen was feeling emotional, a soldier came to report, "Lord Lord, three red light spots have appeared outside the mountain pass in the north, and they are moving quickly in the direction of the parapet wall at this moment. ”

"Red dots of light? Could it be that he is an elite disciple of the Blood Refining Sect again? ”

Meng Chen immediately ordered, "The garrison troops will be dispatched immediately, bring all the Xuantie arrows!" ”

At this time, Alfred and Ellie were leading hundreds of soldiers to hunt in the beast territory.

Meng Chen could only go into battle in person, leading a garrison consisting of 150 sword and shield warriors, 150 sharpshooters, 200 elite swordsmen, and 200 elite archers to the northern mountain pass to support.

Note: The hunting team is mostly composed of Tier 1 and Tier 2 soldiers, and the garrisons left behind in the City of Hope are all high-level soldiers.

Ever since he had verified the power of the Xuantie Arrow, Meng Chen no longer felt weak in the face of the Quenching Body Realm martial artists.

Of course, the premise is not to meet a pervert like Niu Ao.

"It's just three Quenching Body Realm martial artists, if they really dare to trespass into the Earth Dragon Valley, they will definitely have no return!" Meng Chen said secretly in his heart.
