That night, Meng Chen was asleep, but was awakened by the guards on duty to probe the map.

"Lord Lord, a red point of light has appeared outside the Earth Dragon Valley, and it is approaching in the direction of the northern parapet wall at this moment!"

"Red dots?" Meng Chen's heart trembled, and he quickly walked to the exploration map.

I saw that five kilometers away from the mountain pass to the north, a crimson point of light was moving in the direction of the Dilong Valley.

"The evil moon is in the sky, and the red points of light wandering outside must be fierce beasts! Crimson dots of light...... Is it very dangerous? ”

Meng Chen's face was solemn, and he ordered, "Inform Alfred and Ellie, get ready to resist the attack of the fierce beast!" ”

"Yes! Your Lord! ”

。。。。。。

To the northeast of the mountain pass north of Dilong Valley, a giant python is swimming in the direction of Dilong Valley.

The python was nearly twenty-five meters long and more than a meter thick at the waist, covered with blood-colored scales the size of an adult's palm, and had a half-meter-long blood-colored horn on the top of its head.

Twenty minutes later, the unicorn python came to the mountain pass north of Dilong Valley.

Facing the parapet wall that blocked the Dragon Valley Pass in front of him, the unicorn python didn't have any idea of climbing over, and crashed straight into the ten-meter-high and two-meter-thick parapet wall.

Boom~!

A loud crash sounded, and a pit sixty or seventy centimeters deep appeared on the surface of the parapet.

The unicorn python shook its dizzy head, and after gathering momentum, it hit again violently.

Boom~! Boom~!

After three impacts, the two-meter-thick stone parapet was knocked out by a unicorn python with a large hole with a diameter of more than two meters.

Then, the unicorn python passed through the big hole and quickly entered the Earth Dragon Valley.

After entering the Earth Dragon Valley, the one-horned python raised its snake head high, its blood-colored snake pupils looked at the southern area of the Earth Dragon Valley, and its long forked tongue continued to expand and contract.

。。。。。。

At this time, the inner city of the City of Hope has been equipped to defend against fierce beasts.

More than 2,000 soldiers were quietly stationed on the four city walls, and 288 three-bow bed crossbows were all ready to be fired.

Note: There are a total of 1283 bed crossbows on the four city wall trumps, and another 160 three-bow bed crossbows are distributed behind the four city walls.

When the dark red light point entered the Earth Dragon Valley, Meng Chen's heart gradually hung in the air.

However, the crimson dot of light did not move in the direction of the City of Hope, and instead followed the river to the east towards the southern part of the Dilong Valley.

Watching the crimson dots of light gradually move away from the inner city, Meng Chen's tense heartstrings relaxed slightly.

A quarter of an hour later, the crimson dot of light vanished to detect the southeast corner of the map.

"Whew~!"

Meng Chen exhaled a long breath and said to Alfred and Ellie beside him: "Lower the alert status by one level, leave four hundred soldiers on duty, and the rest go back to rest!" ”

"Yes! Your Lord! Alfred and Ellie replied in unison.

After Alfred and Ellie left, Meng Chen lay down on the bench and wondered in his heart: "At a distance of one kilometer from the inner city, the crimson light point stayed for five minutes. Apparently the beast had discovered the inner city, but why didn't it come and attack? Everyone said that the beasts during the Evil Moon were bloodthirsty, violent, and irrational, but how to explain this situation now? ”

With many doubts, Meng Chen gradually fell into a deep sleep.

On the morning of the third day of the Evil Moon's arrival, after confirming that there were no ferocious beasts in the surrounding ten kilometers through the exploration map, Meng Chen once again ordered the quarrymen and miners to go out to collect resources.

At the same time, sixty coachmen whipped the black herd vigorously to get them ready for work.

Originally, this group of black bulls should have entered the hibernation stage, but Meng Chen wanted to force them to continue hauling stones.

Watching the quarrymen and coachmen slowly leave the inner city through the city gate and suspension bridge, Meng Chen secretly said in his heart: "As long as you hold on for a few more days, you can reduce the number of expatriates." ”

As for the fifty miners, Meng Chen said that the gold coin is related to the development of the city, and unless it is attacked by fierce beasts, the mining of energy ore must not stop.

Returning to the city hall, Meng Chen stared at the map in a daze, constantly thinking about the intentions of the fierce beast last night.

Although the fierce beast did not attack the City of Hope for the time being, its existence made Meng Chen feel like a thorn in his back and restless.

In the end, Meng Chen decided to send a reconnaissance team to the southern part of the Earth Dragon Valley to search for the traces of this fierce beast.

The number of this reconnaissance squad was not large, only Alfred and two marksmen.

After seeing the reconnaissance team leave, Meng Chen waited quietly for news in the city hall.

Towards noon, the reconnaissance team returned safely.

Alfred reported to Meng Chen, "My lord, that fierce beast last night was a one-horned python, with a body length of nearly twenty-five meters and a waist of more than one meter thick. At this moment, the unicorn python is dormant in the banana forest in the central area of the Dilong Valley. ”

Meng Chen nodded and asked, "Are there any other discoveries?" ”

Alfred shook his head and replied, "The whole plantain forest is silent, except for this one-horned python. ”

Meng Chen continued to ask, "Alfred, what do you think of the strength of this unicorn python?" ”

Alfred said with a solemn expression: "The momentum of this one-horned python is terrifying, and its strength should be much stronger than that of the flame-maned lion!" ”

After a moment of silence, Meng Chen ordered: "Immediately gather the soldiers to set off and kill this one-horned python!" ”

"Lord, isn't this going to be too hasty?" Alfred was surprised.

Meng Chen sighed and said, "If it was just an ordinary fierce beast, I wouldn't be in such a hurry, but this fierce beast is very strong, so it's another matter." I don't want a ticking time bomb to keep roaming the Earth Dragon Valley. ”

"Yes! Your Lord! Alfred responded.

An hour later, a huge force of 300 elite swordsmen, 300 elite archers, 200 sword and shield warriors, 200 sharpshooters, and 100 three-bow bed crossbows, led by Meng Chen, Alfred, and Ellie, slowly left the inner city of Hope City.

This time to hunt the unicorn python, the city of hope can be said to be the elite together, not only dispatched a large number of soldiers and three-bow bed crossbows, but also brought 200 blackiron crossbow arrows and 2,000 blackiron arrows.

If this hunt failed, then Meng Chen would have to seriously consider whether it was time to use backup means.

Dilong's old nest banana forest is located in the central area of Dilong Valley, about fifteen kilometers away from the City of Hope.

Since the vicinity of the plantain forest was not suitable for the crossbow front to deploy, the ambush site was chosen in an open flat area about two kilometers northwest of the plantain forest.

The task of luring the unicorn python is none other than Alfred, after all, only his speed and strength can guarantee the success rate and survival rate of the lure.

Meng Chen told Alfred: "Be careful, safety first!" ”

"Yes! Your Lord! Alfred responded with a light right fist and a bowing on his left chest.
