After the transaction was concluded, Mu Lao and the three village elders did not leave in a hurry, but laid out dozens of different kinds of metal ores, asking Meng Chen to identify which ones were needed by the people of Ocellrell.

Through the light curtain prompt in his mind, Meng Chen selected five pieces of white quality metal ore and twelve pieces of gray quality metal ore from them.

Sending Mu Lao and the three village elders out of the parapet, Meng Chen arched his hand and said, "Everyone, how about our next transaction, which is scheduled for the middle of the month?" In the future, the beginning and middle of each month will be designated as trading days, so that it is also convenient for everyone to collect goods. ”

Mu Lao and the three village elders nodded in unison and said, "That's very good!" ”

Call~!

After Mu Lao and the others left, Meng Chen took a long breath, and his face showed a look of fatigue.

Due to the large scale of this transaction, Meng Chen had been busy for an hour before he had completed the verification of all the metal ores.

Meng Chen recruited sixty coachmen to transport the metal ore with a total amount of 5,600 stones to the warehouse in batches.

At a capacity of 1,500 stone per trip, it would take four trips to move all the ore.

Looking at the mountains of metal ore, Meng Chen muttered, "Maybe you should pick a trade manager, otherwise as the scale of the transaction gets bigger and bigger, I won't have so much energy to spend on this." ”

Regarding the selection of the head of trading, Meng Chen needs to consider carefully.

After all, the two sides do not understand the language, and if the new trade director is not high-IQ, he will definitely be cheated and lose all his pants.

Currently, the only high-IQ NPCs in Hope City are Alfred and Ellie.

Although Alfred's IQ is high enough, it is obviously overkill to have him as the head of trade.

"I don't know if Ellie, can I ......," Meng Chen said secretly in his heart.

Boom~! Boom~! Boom......

Just as Meng Chen was considering the selection of the trade manager, there was a roar of heavy riding on the ground in the distance.

"What's going on?"

Meng Chen immediately rushed to the guard tower and stood on the lookout platform to look out of the parapet.

I saw that five or six hundred meters away from the parapet, more than ten scalper cavalry were rushing towards the direction of the parapet.

"Wild Cow Village again? Only a dozen scalper cavalry dared to storm the parapet wall of Dilong Valley? Have they forgotten the hard lesson of the last time? Meng Chen wondered.

Just when Meng Chen was puzzled, the dust raised behind the scalper knight made Meng Chen understand their plans.

It was a huge lion beast, and it was chasing after the ox cavalry at the moment.

The lion beast was nearly three meters tall and more than nine meters long, covered in fiery red fur, fluttering wantonly in the wind, like a huge moving flame.

It's a beast called the Flaming Mane!

Roar~!

With a roar, a huge orange-red fireball with a diameter of more than one meter erupted from the mouth of the flamemane lion.

Huge fireballs flew into the scalper cavalry running in front of them.

Rumble~!

There was a roar, and a huge fireball exploded, spreading into a cloud of orange-red flames.

The two scalpers were enveloped in orange-red flames, and before they could let out a scream, the orange-red flames were burned to char.

"Damn it!"

Meng Chen's face turned pale, and he immediately shouted: "All the shooters on the guard tower, immediately shoot at the scalper cavalry. Alfred, prepare to defend yourself against the beasts! ”

"Yes! Your Lord! Alfred said with a solemn expression.

When the scalper cavalry entered the 300-meter range of the parapet wall, the archers on the lookout kept shooting arrows one after another.

There were arrows blocking the road in front, and fierce beasts chasing after them, and the scalper cavalry suffered heavy losses for a while.

However, a middle-aged man in a black robe among the scalpers easily dodged one arrow after another and launched a final charge towards the parapet.

Meng Chen quickly noticed the strangeness of the black-shirted man, and ordered in a loud voice: "All the shooters obey the order and concentrate on shooting the leading black-clothed scalper cavalry!" ”

Dozens of archers, pointing their bows at the man in black shirts, quickly shot arrows in their hands.

Sou! Sou! Sou......

Faced with the concentrated fire of dozens of arrows, the man in black shirt sneered disdainfully.

Drink~!

The man in the black shirt shouted violently, waved his hand and slapped a blood-colored palm print, and dozens of arrows that were about to attack were shattered in unison.

"Could it be...... This is also a Quenching Body Realm martial artist? Meng Chen said with a shocked expression.

When the man in the black shirt was only thirty meters away from the parapet, he picked up a large black jar from the back of the ox.

Seeing this big dark wine jar, Meng Chen secretly said in his heart, "This jar is definitely not a good thing!" ”

I saw that the arm of the man in black shirt shook slightly, and he threw the big wine jar to the inside of the parapet.

Smack!

A crisp clay pot cracked, and the jar shattered on the ground within the parapet.

As the large jar shattered, a strong smell of blood spread.

This large, dark jar contained an unknown blood-colored liquid.

Then, the man in the black shirt grabbed the reins and turned around, beckoned the five remaining ox cavalry around him, and galloped away towards the west side of the pass.

The flaming-maned lion, who was originally chasing the scalper cavalry, actually stopped his tracks and sniffed fiercely in the air with his head raised.

At this time, the Flamemane Lion was less than a hundred meters away from the parapet, and Meng Chen's expression was so nervous that he didn't even dare to breathe.

As for the archers on the lookout, Meng Chen had already restrained them from shooting at the Flamemane Lion, lest it anger the Flamemane Lion.

Roar~!

Suddenly, the Flamemane Lion's eyes turned red, and he let out an earth-shattering roar at the parapet.

Glancing at the pool of blood-colored liquid inside the parapet wall, and then at the furious flame-maned lion, Meng Chen secretly cursed in his heart: "Damn! Got caughted by those bastards in Brute Cow Village! “

。。。。。。

The black-shirted man led five ox cavalrymen, and did not immediately move away from the Dilong Valley Pass, but stopped on a dirt slope at the foot of the mountain on the west side, and watched the situation at the Dilong Valley Pass from a distance.

At this time, a young scalper said gloomily to the black-shirted man: "Second uncle, in order to lure this flame-maned lion, we sacrificed more than a dozen young men. ”

The man in the black shirt nodded, then stared at the flaming-maned lion in the distance without saying a word.

This black-shirted man is actually Niu Han's second brother, Niu Hao, the second oldest of the three males in the Niu family.

As an elite disciple of the Blood Refining Sect, Niu Hao had originally stayed in the Blood Refining Sect to cultivate.

About a week ago, Niu Hao and Niu Ao suddenly received a letter from Manniu Village, saying that Niu Han and Niu Zhang had disappeared in Dilong Valley.

Because Niu Ao was burdened by sectarian affairs, he could only instruct Niu Hao to go back to the village to investigate first.

The young scalper looked at Niu Hao and asked with some hesitation: "Grandpa, third uncle, and Brother Zhang, are they still alive?" ”

Niu Hao frowned, sighed and said, "Jing'er, your grandfather and they...... Fierce and auspicious! ”

Then, Niu Hao snorted coldly and said, "The people of Oseril, since they can gain a firm foothold in the Earth Dragon Valley, they are obviously a force with a certain background. The third brother, a fool, actually provoked such a force for nothing, what an unsuccessful guy! ”
