Early the next morning, Meng Chen scanned the exploration map and found that there was no trace of the beast within a radius of twenty kilometers.

Therefore, Meng Chen ordered six hundred Rank 2 quarrymen, escorted by Chris and the soldiers, to pass through the gate of the northern defensive array and go to the northwest quarry to continue their work.

There are four gates in the new inner city area, each five meters high, six meters wide, and twenty centimeters thick, forged from a mixture of dark iron, magic iron, and immersion gold, and engraved with the triple runes of solidity, demon resistance, and thorns.

Meng Chen even ordered Kobe to lead the blacksmiths to install Moxuan fine iron armor on the surface of the city gate.

The defenses of these four new city gates were so strong that even Alfred did not want to break through them in a short period of time.

Of course, because the four gates were so heavy, even with pulleys and gears, it was very cumbersome to open and close, taking at least ten minutes.

Click! Click! Click......

With the snapping sound of gears, Chris led the soldiers and quarrymen out of the inner city area as the northern gate fully opened.

Seeing Chris and the others go away, Meng Chen said to Alfred: "Alfred, there are soldiers on duty at all times to detect the map, once you find that the fierce beast is close to the Earth Dragon Valley, immediately lead the soldiers to kill it." ”

"Yes! Your Lord! Alfred bowed in response.

In addition to the quarrymen who mined the stone, Meng Chen also sent Rezeel and Barragon to collect blood orchids from Poison Dragonze.

The weird blood orchid in the Poison Dragon Ze only blooms during the Evil Moon, and it has a strong attraction to living creatures, and Meng Chen was almost hit before.

For the next week, the City of Hope was not attacked.

During this time, three fierce beasts tried to approach the Valley of the Earth, but all of them were killed by Alfred and his soldiers, and they could not even break through the parapet of the mountain pass.

On this day, the stone (white) in the warehouse finally accumulated 25,000 units, and Meng Chen immediately issued an order to build the last piece of infrastructure.

"In 50 days, the infrastructure will be complete. By that time, the Civilization Value of the City of Hope should be able to reach more than 80 points. With the remaining 20 civilization points, what should I build? Meng Chen said secretly in his heart.

Of the new buildings added to the City of Hope after being promoted to a fortress, only the lighting system and the city guard system have not yet been built.

Understandably, the lighting system is an auxiliary building that provides light to the city at night.

As for the urban sanitation system, the full name should be called the urban sanitation and cleaning system, including garbage disposal facilities, garbage cleaning and recycling devices, etc.

Based on the current area of 1 square kilometer in the inner city, the construction cost of the lighting system and the city guard system is the same, requiring 20,000 gold coins, 10,000 units of stone (white), 10,000 units of wood (white), and 200 units of metal (green).

"The lighting system and the city guard system don't seem to be enough for 20 civilization points!"

Just when Meng Chen was having a headache for the city planning, Barragon came to Meng Chen, bowed down and said, "Lord Lord, the blood orchid in the poisonous dragon Ze has been prepared into a new potion after being mixed by his subordinates. ”

Taking the blood-colored elixir handed by Baragon, Meng Chen probed its attributes through his spiritual power.

Blood Orchid Elixir (Dark Green)

Effect 1: Has a chance to promote the evolution of creatures.

Effect 2: Has a chance to be contaminated with xenomorph energy.

Note: This agent is suitable for use by animals, and human consumption will have unknown consequences.

"Has the Blood Orchid Potion been tested?" Meng Chen asked.

Barragon replied, "Lord Lord, my subordinates have tested ten brute bulls, four of them have not changed significantly, three brute bulls have shown signs of evolution, and three brute bulls have shown signs of blood-colored energy erosion. The brute bull, which was corrupted by the blood-colored energy, was illuminated by the holy light led by Chris, and returned to its normal state. ”

"What is the yield of the Blood Orchid Elixir?"

"Due to the sufficient amount of blood orchids in the Poison Dragon Ze, the blood orchid elixir can produce about 200 bottles per day."

Meng Chen nodded and said, "Continue to observe the evolution effect of the Brute Bull and send soldiers to pick the Blood Orchid Reserve with all their might." ”

Then, Meng Chen continued to ask, "How are those immortal cultivators' elixirs being tested now?" ”

Barragon bowed down and said, "Lord Lord, there are a total of 614 pills in that batch of immortal cultivators, and the quality is between dark green and dark blue. Among them, there are 154 healing and healing pills, 316 spiritual power supplemental pills, 128 growth and cultivation pills, and 16 qualification-enhancing pills. ”

Other types of pills don't have much effect for the time being, only Meng Chen, who has improved his qualifications, cares the most.

"Send the qualifying pills to the city hall." Meng Chen commanded.

"Yes! Your Lord! ”

When Meng Chen returned to the city hall, the 16 qualification-enhancing pills were neatly placed on the square table.

After a little exploration, Meng Chen found that the 16 pills were 3 dark green quality pills, 7 light blue quality pills, 5 blue quality pills, and 1 dark blue quality pill.

After a moment of silence, Meng Chen worked out a distribution plan.

The dark blue quality elixir was naturally reserved for Meng Chen, the blue quality elixir was divided between the four heroes and Shakya, and Keynes and Abagon received the light blue quality elixir.

However, at present, Shakya has not yet entered the transcendental, and he has no blessings for the time being.

The remaining dark green and blue quality elixirs are reserved for later to be given to residents with high potential.

Then, Meng Chen opened a delicate jade bottle and took out an elixir glowing with golden light.

Unknown Elixir (dark blue)

Effect 1: +20 for all stats

Effect 2: Energy +400

Special Effect 3: Has a chance to increase your cultivation qualifications.

Note: This is an elixir to improve the cultivation qualifications, and it requires the physique of an extraordinary person to take it.

After carefully examining the elixir, Meng Chen swallowed it into his stomach.

After a few minutes, the effects of the elixir began to appear.

Zheng~! Zheng~! Zheng ......

Meng Chen's body suddenly sounded with bursts of piano sounds, and the bones, viscera, flesh and blood in his body were constantly refined and sublimated by wisps of golden light.

At the same time, a trace of gray impurities seeped out from the pores on Meng Chen's body and was dispersed by an invisible sound wave.

After more than an hour, the effect of the pill gradually faded, and Meng Chen felt refreshed.

。。。。。。

After checking his own attributes, Meng Chen nodded with satisfaction, and said secretly in his heart: "The career level has been increased by 3 levels, the basic attribute has increased by 78 points, the magic power has increased by 476 points, and a new skill has been added." The elixir of the immortal cultivator is really a good thing!"

Then, Meng Chen began to test his new skills.

Arcane overload can allow Meng Chen to instantly cast spells in a short period of time, but the spell consumption is more than twice as high as usual.

Although this skill is good, for Meng Chen, it is a little chicken.

After all, Meng Chen's commonly used skills, Arcane Force Field, Arcane Dissociation, and Arcane Reconstruction, are all instantaneous skills that do not need to be chanted.

Arcane Barrier has a very short chant time, except for Arcane Missiles and Arcane Blast, which take a slightly longer time.

What really made Meng Chen very happy was actually the arcane force field that had been upgraded to level 4.

At this time, through the Arcane Force Field skill, Meng Chen was able to control the movement of 32 tons of heavy objects, and he needed to consume 16 mana points every ten seconds.

Not only that, but when the Arcane Field skill is upgraded to level 4, it gains a new trait - Energy Particle Field Control.

In other words, Meng Chen's arcane force field skill can not only control tangible matter particles, but also intangible energy particles.

The time quickly came to the end of October, and half a month had passed since the arrival of the evil moon.

Late that night, Meng Chen suddenly received a report from the soldiers on duty, "Lord Lord, outside the mountain pass north of Dilong Valley, a large number of various colored light spots have appeared. Among them, there are more than 300 yellow spots, 24 light red spots, 9 red spots and 2 dark red spots. ”

"What?"

Meng Chen suddenly woke up and came to the exploration map.

I saw that more than ten kilometers away from the mountain pass north of Dilong Valley, a red point of light led hundreds of points of light of various colors, and quickly approached the mountain pass.

At the speed of this group of light points at this moment, they would be able to break into the Earth Dragon Valley in seven or eight minutes.

Meng Chen's face changed, and he immediately ordered: "From now on, the City of Hope will enter the highest alert state!" Command Alfred and Chris to lead the soldiers to the northern defensive array to build a defensive line. Order Ellie and Reezel to lead the caster to the north of the Magic Turret. ”

"Yes! Your Lord! The soldier was ordered to leave.

Staring at the red point of light in the lead, Meng Chen secretly said in his heart: "This point of light is strange, it doesn't seem to be a demon beast, but a ...... Mankind? ”

After receiving Meng Chen's order, Alfred and Chris immediately organized soldiers to build a defensive line in the defensive array north of the inner city.

Among them, Alfred led 10 Wind Rangers, 240 Elite Rangers, and 860 Ranger to jump onto the base of the northern defense array.

Chris led 10 champion knights, 240 elite knights and 800 knights to form a knight formation behind the north gate.

Since the knights' mounts had fallen asleep, the momentum of the knights' formation was a little thinner.

In addition, thousands of Tier 2 and Tier 3 soldiers carried 120 enchanted three-bow bed crossbows to build a crossbow line behind the knights' formation.

Ellie and Reezel led four mage apprentices to six magical turrets to the north of the inner city.

In order to defend against this night attack of the beasts, the City of Hope can be said to have spared no effort.

On the detection map, led by a red point of light, hundreds of points of various colors broke into the Earth Dragon Valley and rushed directly towards the north side of the City of Hope.

"Sure enough, it's for the City of Hope!"

Meng Chen's eyes flickered, and he ordered: "Order all heroes and soldiers to prepare for battle." All arrows and crossbow arrows, smeared with Behemoth venom! ”

"Yes! Your Lord! ”

Then, Meng Chen quickly left the town hall and climbed to the top of the Arcane Mage Tower, looking at the dark night in the north.

Roar~! Roar~! Roar......

Under the light of the blood-colored moon, a furious roar was heard in the night sky.

A huge black shadow approached the defensive array on the north side from far and near.

Vaguely, Meng Chen seemed to see a figure that flashed away in the dark night.

Before Meng Chen could distinguish clearly, more than three hundred fierce beasts, twenty-four quasi-demon beasts, and ten demon beasts appeared one after another three hundred meters away from the defense array.

Staring at the dark shadows in the distance, Alfred commanded in a loud voice, "All rangers shoot!" ”

Sou! Sou! Sou......

The 860 rangers used their double-shot skills to quickly shoot a dense rain of arrows at hundreds of fierce beasts in the night.

The 200 elite rangers, on the other hand, use the arrows of the wind element and sniper skills to specialize in gathering fire on quasi-monsters and monsters with huge sizes.

As for the 10 Wind Rangers, they have the most brilliant shots.

I saw a Wind Ranger draw out 10 enchanted arrows, and in an instant, attach the power of the wind element to the 10 arrows, and then shoot 10 arrows at once with a bow.

10 light blue phantoms drew a graceful arc, accurately hitting the vital parts of the five fierce beasts.

All arrows were smeared with the beast's venom, wisps of dark green marks spreading from the wounds.

Oh~! Oh~! Oh......

For a while, hundreds of fierce beasts and quasi-demon beasts let out a series of miserable wails.

At this time, a blood-colored python with a body length of more than sixty meters and a waist thickness of nearly three meters spewed out an orange-yellow flame towards the ranger on the defensive array.

The Pact of Light, unsealed! Divine blessing!

Chris unsealed the pact of holy light, exempted from the chanting of divine protection, and erected a barrier of holy light more than two hundred meters long and more than sixty meters high.

Boom~!

A dull crashing sound sounded, and the orange-yellow flames more than two hundred meters long were completely blocked by Chris's holy light barrier.

At that moment, a bright yellow glow lit up at the top of a magical turret.

"Source of Mana-200!"

A giant fireball with a diameter of more than six meters shot at the blood-colored python from the top of the magic turret.

As it flew, the huge fireball condensed into the shape of a flame lion's skull, and let out a roar that resembled that of a lion king.

Rumble~!

As the giant fireball exploded, a sea of fire with a diameter of hundreds of meters suddenly appeared.

Hiss~!

The blood-colored python suddenly let out a roar, and its huge body continued to roll in the sea of fire.

Taking advantage of the confusion in the herd, Alfred ordered again: "Bed crossbow salvo!" ”

Boom~!

Forty enchanted three-bow bed crossbows on the defensive array were aimed at the four huge monsters, shooting enchanted crossbow arrows coated with the venom of the behemoths.

Yikes! Yikes! ......

A series of blades broke through the body, forty enchanted crossbow arrows hit thirty-six, and twenty enchanted crossbow arrows triggered the trait, breaking through the strong defense on the surface of the demon beast's body.

Roar~!

The four-headed demon beast let out a roar from the sky, as if enraged by the attack of the enchanted crossbow arrows.

Moo~! Moo~!

At the same time, two loud chirps were heard from behind the herd.

Two giant bulls, more than sixteen meters tall and nearly thirty meters long, charged towards the defensive array with six blood-colored horns.

Immediately after, hundreds of fierce beasts, quasi-demon beasts, and demon beasts all kept up with the pace of the two giant bulls.

Bang! Bang! Bang......

With a deafening roar, the whole earth seemed to begin to tremble violently.
