After the four-horned ox was carried into the slaughterhouse, the cobblers, cooks, carpenters and others rushed to the slaughterhouse, and everyone looked happy around the four-horned cow and pointed at it.

Stroking the cowhide, the cobbler said with a smile on his face: "Such a good cowhide is enough to make three sets of refined leather armor!" ”

The carpenter exclaimed, "Using the tendon and horns of this cow as the main material, you can make three good horn bows!" ”

The chef smiled and said, "Beef bones can make soup, and beef is the best ingredient, enough to make 3,000 units of white quality grain!" ”

Meng Chen asked with a look of surprise, "Three thousand units of grain?" Are there really so many? ”

"Of course! At least 3,000 units, Lord Lord! The chef replied in the affirmative.

"Great! As long as there is half of today's harvest in the next ten days, the food gap in the City of Hope will be filled. Meng Chen said happily.

Seeing that the food crisis was alleviated, Meng Chen naturally wanted to start expanding the population, after all, there is a lot of strength in numbers!

Meng Chen immediately went to the city hall and summoned 10 civilians to be sent to the academy to train as farmers.

After a few days of felling by lumberjacks, a large open space appeared on the east side of the lumberyard.

Meng Chen came to this clearing and gave orders to build a plantation.

For the next five days, Meng Chen continued to lead the hunting team, hunting large and medium-sized creatures around the city.

Whether it is a medium-threat creature or a low-threat creature, as long as it has a lot of meat on its body, it cannot escape the hunting team.

Through the frenzied hunting during this period of time, Meng Chen harvested a total of nearly 6,000 units of grain, plus the previous nearly 4,000 units of grain, almost filling the food gap.

Therefore, Meng Chen has not stopped summoning civilians in the past few days. A total of 50 newly summoned civilians, 30 of whom were trained as farmers and the other 20 civilians who were trained as marksmen.

Loyalty: 80

Condition: Good

Profession: Shooter

Level: Tier 1

Attributes: Strength 2, Agility 3, Intelligence 1

Skills: Basic Archery Lv1, Basic Dodge Lv1, Precision Lv1.

Although there is still a certain gap between the shooter and the shooter instructor, the shooter is cheaper and it is easy to form a scale.

Through the frenzied hunting in the past few days, Meng Chen could clearly feel that the large and medium-sized creatures around the city were gradually becoming scarce.

As a result, Meng Chen set up an independent hunting team of five swordsmen and five archers to continue hunting small and medium-sized creatures around the city.

As for Meng Chen himself, he planned to lead another hunting team from tomorrow to open up a new hunting ground on the east side of the river.

In addition to hunting, Meng Chen also did not neglect urban construction.

Over the course of five days, Meng Chen built four more plantations and had the newly trained 40 farmers start working at once.

Not only that, but since the mausoleum keepers and scholars had already been trained, Meng Chen also built a cemetery and a library.

。。。。。。

The main function of the cemetery is to bury the dead city residents and recover the soul power of the residents.

Of course, there is no charge to recover soul power in this way.

In addition, for every time the cemetery has 1 mausoleum keeper, Meng Chen's resource space will automatically increase by 1 point of soul power every day.

As for the library, it is very high-end and powerful.

City dwellers can freely read all kinds of books in the library, and when they reach a certain reading time, the city dwellers have a chance to increase their skill level or intelligence attribute points.

Of course, Meng Chen knew the importance of skill level and intelligence attributes to the NPC residents of the city.

Therefore, Meng Chen ordered all city residents to go to the library to read more books and receive more enlightenment from scholars as soon as they had free time.

It's a pity that the library only has an effect on the NPC residents of the city, but it has no effect on Meng Chen.

On this day, Meng Chen led a hunting team consisting of two swordsman instructors, two archery instructors, ten swordsmen, and ten archers to the small river in the east of the city.

The width of this creek is about twenty meters, and the deepest depth does not exceed one meter two.

The current of the small river is not turbulent, and Meng Chen and his party of twenty-five people chose a shallow beach to wade across the river.

After coming to the east bank of the river, Meng Chen looked at the simple sketch in his hand and walked towards the nearest yellow point of light in the northeast direction.

The jungle on the east side of the creek is much denser than on the west side, almost like the primeval jungle on earth.

Ten swordsmen took turns to forge their way forward in the dense jungle.

Along the way, Meng Chen could clearly feel that there were many more animals on the east side of the river than on the west side of the river.

Meng Chen even spotted a herd of more than a dozen longhorn deer on the way.

Looking at the vibrant primeval jungle, Meng Chen had only one thought in his heart, as long as this area was turned into a hunting ground, the City of Hope would not be short of food for a long time in the future.

However, in order to turn this area into a hunting ground, it is first necessary to clear the hunting ground of all threatening creatures.

The entire northeastern part of the basin covers an area of about 50 square kilometers.

According to the True Eye's detection map, there are fifty-one yellow spots in this area.

Of the 51 yellow spots, half of them are scattered.

Only two areas of yellow light are concentrated in the east and south, which are supposed to be two groups of animals of medium threat.

After marching for half an hour, Meng Chen and his party came to the vicinity of the target area.

Meng Chen ordered to everyone: "Old rules! Search separately first, find the target and then assemble the action! ”

"Yes! Your Lord! The crowd responded.

It didn't take long for one of the shooters to spot the target and give a signal to the others.

This is a brown-black giant python covered in scales, with a body length of about 12 meters, a waist as thick as a water tank, wrapped around a giant tree branch nearly 100 meters high.

Looking at the giant python dozens of meters above the ground, Meng Chen asked the two archery instructors, "This giant python is so high, can it hit its vital point?" ”

The two shooter instructors replied: "Difficult! Lord, we'll do our best! ”

With these words again, Meng Chen was speechless, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.

Then, two marksman instructors and ten shooters stood in two rows, drew their longbows and aimed them at the python.

Two swordsman instructors and ten swordsmen stood by the archer's side with shields.

"Shoot!"

This was under the command of an archer instructor, and the shooters launched a salvo at the python.
