Meng Chen decided to take the initiative to weaken the strength of the Earth Dragon Group, but before that, he needed to go to the Earth Dragon Lair to investigate.

After all, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the only way to survive a hundred battles!

After noon the next day, Meng Chen led Alfred, 3 elite swordsmen, and 3 elite archers to the southern area of the City of Hope.

Dilong Valley is elliptical as a whole, the terrain is slightly higher in the north and lower in the south, with a north-south long axis of more than 30 kilometers and an east-west short axis of more than 10 kilometers, with a total area of about three or four hundred square kilometers.

The City Hall of Hope is located in the northern area of Diryu Valley, three kilometers away from the northern mountain pass of Diryu Valley and eight kilometers away from the central area of Diryu Valley.

As Meng Chen and others went deeper and deeper into the south, the vegetation became denser and the species became more and more diverse.

The five kilometers around the City of Hope belong to the warning line set by Meng Chen.

All medium-threat creatures within the cordon have been strangled, so the first half of the trip was relatively safe.

Half an hour later, Meng Chen and the others came to the area where the Earth Dragons often invaded, which was located on the edge of the warning range of the City of Hope.

"Did the five earth dragons invade from here yesterday?" Meng Chen asked Alfred beside him.

Alfred replied respectfully, "Yes, my lord! ”

Looking at the remaining traces of destruction around him, Meng Chen asked curiously, "The five-headed earth dragon is not easy to deal with, how did you expel them?" ”

Alfred replied, "My lord, these earth dragons are very vigilant and will not rush in easily. Take a few elite archers and shoot at the Earth Dragons from a distance, and these Earth Dragons will cringe. As long as the time drags on past noon, these earth dragons will take the initiative to evacuate! ”

"So, those earth dragons that invade the north will generally invade before noon, and will take the initiative to retreat after noon?" Meng Chen continued to ask.

"Yes, my lord!" Alfred nodded.

"This behavior is abnormal!" Meng Chen muttered to himself.

The reason why Alfred chose to expel rather than hunt these earth dragons was because he was not sure that all the earth dragons would be left behind. If an earth dragon is released during the hunt, the consequences will be serious.

Due to the large size of the earth dragons, the traces left along the way are very obvious.

Meng Chen and his party followed the traces on the ground and cautiously marched in the direction of due south.

In the second half of the next half of the trip, creatures of moderate threat began to appear in the vicinity.

These creatures didn't seem to be easy to mess with, Meng Chen and the others had no intention of causing trouble, so they could only choose to avoid it as much as possible.

After dodging a giant porcupine again, Meng Chen cursed, "Damn! The medium-threat creatures in the central region of the Earth Dragon Valley are too dense! ”

"Alfred, how long will it take to get to the Dragon's Lair?" Meng Chen asked.

Alfred immediately replied, "There are more and more traces of the surrounding earth dragon's activity, and it should be almost to the earth dragon's lair!" ”

Meng Chen nodded and said in a deep voice: "Everyone be careful, it's almost time to reach the target location!" ”

"Yes! Your Lord! ”

About ten minutes later, a vast woodland suddenly appeared in front of Meng Chen and the others.

The ground of this woodland is dry sand, and there are a large number of giant plantains growing on the surface of the land that are thirty or forty meters high, which is very eye-catching compared to the surrounding forests that are nearly 100 meters high.

Looking from afar, Meng Chen saw several yellow-green earth dragons, hanging on the giant plantain plant at the moment, leisurely nibbling on the yellow fruits half a meter long.

Due to the fact that this plantain forest was too dense, and the skin color of the earth dragons was extremely similar to the surrounding environment, Meng Chen could only distinguish the location of the five earth dragons.

"It's too dangerous to go deep into this strange woodland, how can I find out more?" Meng Chen said secretly in his heart.

After thinking about it for a moment, Meng Chen cast his "evil" gaze on the "innocent" soldiers on the side.

That's right! Meng Chen also planned to sacrifice the lives of innocent soldiers to lure out the earth dragon group in the banana forest.

But before that, Meng Chen wanted to hear Alfred's thoughts.

"Alfred, is there any way you can find out more?" Meng Chen asked.

Alfred didn't hesitate at all, and immediately replied: "Send three elite archers and shoot a few arrows at the earth dragons at the edge of the woodland, and the earth dragons in the woodland will be attracted out." When the time comes, we just have to observe from a distance! ”

"It's exactly the same as I thought!" Meng Chen complained in his heart.

Meng Chen said in surprise: "If you do this, the elite archer who is used as a decoy will definitely die in the mouth of the earth dragon." Don't you think it's a little too cruel? ”

Alfred said with a serious face: "Lord Lord, as a high-ranking person, you should have a choice. This is the least costly and safest thing to do. ”

Meng Chen nodded and said, "Then do as you say!" ”

Alfred then began to lay out a seduction plan, and the three elite shooters accepted the mortal order without fear.

Before the lure plan was launched, Alfred said respectfully to Meng Chen: "Lord Lord, this place is too dangerous, my subordinates will take you to a safe observation place." ”

"Good!" Meng Chen nodded in agreement.

Alfred grabbed Meng Chen's shoulders and led Meng Chen to leap through the forest.

After a few breaths, Meng Chen came to the branch of a large tree nearly 100 meters high.

The view from this observation site is excellent, with a view of the plantain grove in the distance.

Meng Chen clung to the branch beside him and observed the positions of the three elite shooters.

Three elite shooters as bait, two of them were placed on the edge of the plantain grove and the other was placed in the back position.

As for the three elite swordsmen, they were currently guarding the observation site as they were not needed for the decoy plan.

Once everything was ready, Alfred let out a shrill light whistle.

An elite archer drew his longbow and fired arrows at the earth dragon at the edge of the plantain forest.

Hiss~! Hiss~! Hiss......

Bursts of low roars rang out one after another.

A yellow-green earth dragon quickly climbed down the giant plantain and rushed towards the elite archer who shot the arrow.

When the Earth Dragon entered the fifty-meter range, the elite archer discarded the bow and arrow in his hand and immediately retreated quickly to the rear.

Although the Earth Dragons are very fast, the elite marksman with 6 agility is not much slower than the Earth Dragon.

"One end, two ends...... Eleven, twelve......" Meng Chen, who was standing on the branch of a big tree in the distance, silently counted.

"A total of fifteen earth dragons have been lured out!" Alfred said.

When the Dilong was about to catch up with the elite shooter, another elite shooter in the rear began to shoot in relay.

In this way, the fifteen-headed earth dragon was lured by two elite archers, one in front and one in the back, to a location far away from the banana forest.

At this moment, Alfred let out another high-pitched soft whistle.

The last elite shooter immediately left the hidden position and rushed towards the interior of the plantain forest.
