Originally, in Capt. Xing's plan, these fifty soldiers would not be brought along at all.
For dragon-horned monitor lizards that can reach several meters in length, the existence of these ordinary soldiers undoubtedly means more cannon fodder that can be used.
His original intention was just to lead the way for Gu Yuan and the others.
Mr. Xing simply couldn't bear to let his men die.
However, the county magistrate wants to earn a share of the credit for eradicating the dragon-horned monitor lizard, so that he can contribute to his performance in the next year's evaluation.
There is definitely a difference between simply leading the way and assisting the True Fire Hall disciples in killing the dragon-horned monitor lizard in the report.
These fifty soldiers were the tools that the county magistrate forced them into the team to earn credit under the heavy reward.
Capt. Xing was originally thinking about how to save these soldiers.
Now that these cultivators who came to help refused the soldiers to participate in the battle, Xing Captou finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After disposing of the remains of the tragically dead soldier, the group set out again.
Under the guidance of Mr. Xing, the group took a shortcut.
Around midnight, we arrived outside the mouth of Tianfeng Valley.
When we arrived near Tianfeng Valley, we could see vegetation destroyed by dragon-horned monitor lizards everywhere. A huge tree was actually broken in half and collapsed on the original official road.
The group of people stood at the entrance of Tianfeng Valley, smelling the cool breeze blowing from the valley.
Everyone couldn't help but frown.
The night wind blew through Tianfeng Valley, mixing with the scent of the dragon-horned monitor lizard in Tianfeng Valley.
The dragon-horned monitor lizard must have been living here for a long time. The extremely unpleasant stench caused many of the soldiers who came with them to vomit.
Xing Baotou covered his nose and said in a low voice next to Gu Yuan:
"Gu Shaoxia, Tianfeng Valley is ahead."
"The dragon-horned monitor lizard is in this valley."
"It's so big, you can easily spot it after entering the valley."
"We can't help much if we go in..."
Xing Baotou did not say any more, but the meaning was already very clear.
Gu Yuan nodded and looked back at the ugly-looking soldiers.
"Then it's up to you to wait outside with the soldiers."
"We may need you to help us harvest the materials from the dragon-horned monitor lizard in a while. Is that okay?"
The dragon-horned monitor lizard is full of treasures, whether it is the horns on its head, the skin on its body, or even its flesh and blood, they can all be recycled.
Li Cheng mentioned that someone in the sect was purchasing various materials for the dragon-horned monitor lizard.
When the time comes, take these trophies back to the sect and exchange them for some things needed for cultivation.
Hearing that there was no need to enter Tianfeng Valley, Xing Baotou happily patted his chest.
"Gu Shaoxia, don't worry, these rough jobs will be taken care of by us.
You will kill this beast in a while, just say hello!"
Leaving Mr. Xing and the soldiers outside Tianfeng Valley, Gu Yuan and Li Cheng took the lead into Tianfeng Valley with a torch each.
On the left and right sides of Tianfeng Valley is a high mountain, ten thousand feet high, steep and straight, making it impossible to climb.
Between the two mountains, a valley is formed that is wide in the middle and narrow at both ends.
The wind blows from one side of the valley to the other side of the valley, forming a valley breeze, accompanied by an ethereal echo.
When someone passes by, the valley wind blows, and it's like hearing the valley singing.
So the local people called this valley Tianfeng Valley.
However, when Gu Yuan and the others came to Tianfeng Valley.
The mountain wind no longer blows ethereal echoes.
Instead, there is the loud breathing sound made by the dragon-horned monitor lizard while sleeping.
On this day, the Valley of the Wind has become its nest.
They say dragons like to collect things, and it seems to be true.
In addition to the food that has been bitten to death by the dragon-horned monitor lizard, there are many other things in Tianfeng Valley.
These things include various weapons, daily necessities made of metal, and even some furniture inlaid with gold edges.
Looking again, I saw some mirrors, large and small, lying on the ground reflecting various lights.
The dragon-horned monitor lizard, unaware of the danger at all, just snored like this, displaying its huge body in front of Gu Yuan and the others without any obstruction.
Normal dragon-horned monitor lizards are just low-level ferocious beasts. They are generally between three and four meters in length, and their rapid speed and powerful tail are their main means of attack.
Gu Yuan and the others had strangled several dragon-horned monitor lizards before.
I am quite familiar with this kind of ferocious beast.
Xing Baotou once said that this dragon-horned monitor lizard must be at least five or six meters long.
But at a glance, this dragon-horned monitor lizard is nearly ten meters long!
I don't know if it's because Xing Captou didn't see it clearly, or because the dragon-horned monitor lizard has grown again.
It can be said that the dragon-horned monitor lizard that appeared in front of them tonight was beyond their imagination. It was at least twice the size of the ordinary dragon-horned monitor lizard!
Its hill-like body was constantly rising and falling with thunderous breathing sounds.
This dragon-horned monitor lizard sleeps like a snake, with its tail and head coiled up.
This can protect the head and prevent the vital parts of the head from being attacked by enemies when the dragon-horned monitor lizard is sleeping.
The two long horns that look like dragon horns look extremely abrupt like two small saplings on a hill.
Everyone moved forward quietly, originally wanting to sneak attack on it when it wasn't prepared, but this guy was extremely alert.
As soon as Gu Yuan and others approached the dragon-horned monitor lizard, they saw the big guy's undulating body suddenly paused, and then opened its eyes.
The golden eyes were as big as lanterns, with a vertical pupil emitting a cold light, staring at the four Gu Yuan who appeared not far away from it.
"call!"
Without any warning, a giant earth-yellow tail swept towards the direction of Gu Yuan and the others.
The four people quickly hid aside.
"Boom!"
Without a single hit, the tail directly smashed the rock on one side and exploded.
It can be seen how terrifying this blow is.
"Divided into three directions, let's go up together."
Gu Yuan, who had just dodged the attack, immediately made arrangements for his companions.
This is the battle plan that Gu Yuan and his three partners discussed before taking a break today.
He and Li Cheng each occupied a position, and the little eagle and Yun Duoduo occupied a position together.
He and Li Cheng are the main ones, with Little Eagle and Yun Duoduo as the secondary ones.
Attack the dragon-horned monitor lizard from three directions at the same time, so that the head and tail of the dragon-horned monitor lizard cannot see each other.
This can also prevent the dragon-horned monitor lizard from taking advantage of its size to charge them, and prevent the four of them from being overwhelmed by the dragon-horned monitor lizard.
"Ouch!"
The dragon-horned monitor lizard missed a hit and was a little annoyed. It couldn't help but raise its head and let out a roar.
The sound resounded through the entire Tianfeng Valley, shaking Gu Yuan and the four of them so hard that their ears hurt.
At this moment, the dragon-horned monitor lizard swung its long tail and started moving again.
The four Gu Yuan people, who had already arranged their respective positions, woke up at this time and launched an attack on the dragon-horned monitor lizard.
