A red light of anise lantern lit up in a corner of the city, and someone burned the first firework of the year.
Looking at the beautiful fireworks blooming in the sky, Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Lai Cang came over, his voice was low but very serious: "Mr. Li Xuan, I hope you can send Princess Xia Ruixue a letter and ask her to come to Fenglin City to take charge."
"Why?"
Li Xuan asked.
Lai Cang snorted coldly and said, "This time the monster siege is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster! This kind of major event must be investigated by His Royal Highness the Princess himself!"
Li Xuan said: "How are you sure it is not a natural disaster?"
Is there any evidence?"
“Of course there is.”
Lai Cang waved and took Li Xuan to the corpse of a blood sperm beast.
The blood sperm beast still grabbed half of the human arm tightly on its claws, and its head was cut to pieces and died miserably.
Lai Cang took out his waist knife and stabbed it into the blood sperm beast's neck, and plasma poured out along the wound.
He pointed to the blood that showed a light purple color and said, "The blood of the blood essence beast should be red, and it will only turn purple when it is in heat.
Other monsters also have signs of estrus.
But now it is winter, and it is not the estrus period of monsters at all?"
"you mean?"
Li Xuan opened her mouth wide in surprise.
Lai Cang sneered: "Someone used some means to make these monsters feel affectionate, and buried something in Fenglin City to attract them to attack the city!"
Although monsters have the word "demon", they are not much different from their close relatives and beasts in terms of habits.
Whenever spring and summer turn, it is the estrus period of monsters, and it is also the most fierce and aggressive time of the year.
Experienced mercenaries will never enter the forest during the estrus period of monsters. When the monsters reach the estrus period, they may burst out with two cups or even three times the power. Even some monsters with gentle personality on weekdays will become cruel.
The risk is greatly increased.
Li Xuan found several senior hunters who knew the habits of monsters very well and got the same view as Lai Cang from them.
It is the harsh winter season of the year, and no monster is in heat at this time, so it is obvious that someone is tampering with it! After hearing about Lai Cang's discovery, the prefect An Rulong and Ding Zhensarang were both shocked.
They walked into the command center of the city defense center together, closed the door and discussed in a low voice.
"How could this happen! Oh my God, if this is true, who is so sinister?"
An Rulong cursed, "I actually lured monsters to attack the city during the New Year. Is this person's heart black?"
"A person who can do such a thing is simply a lunatic."
Ding Zhen said in anger.
The luxury houses and farms of the Ding family and Sa family and even the vast majority of their property are located in Fenglin City. If the city is destroyed by monsters, their losses will be a very terrifying number.
So they have more anger than anyone in the city, and that's right.
Lai Cang waited for them to curse and vent his anger a little before saying, "Master, the two heads of the family and Mr. Li Xuan. Judging from the current situation, although this crazy guy has not succeeded, he will inevitably
It will not continue to secretly endanger the safety of Fenglin City.
I suggest that the security status of Fenglin City be raised to the highest level, while clearing the remaining dangers in the city, and requesting support."
“Your advice is great!”
An Rulong was the first to express support.
"Lai Qianhu is right. There must be something in the city to attract those monsters. If you find that thing, you must find it even if you dig three feet into the ground!"
Ding Zhen also nodded repeatedly.
Only Li Xuan did not express his opinion, he vaguely felt that this matter was not that simple.
After some discussions by several big men from Fenglin City, they ordered martial law throughout the city, and at the same time mobilized all citizens to find the culprit who attracted the monsters.
Otherwise, God knows if there will be a second wave of monsters coming to attack the city again! The entire city is mobilized, and even the three-year-old child is following his parents and searching for it all over the city.
There were many people and great powers. In the afternoon of that day, someone found a strange thing in a sewer and sent it to the city defense center.
Looking at the glands in front of him that looked like animals' internal organs, and twitching his nose and smelling the strange smell emitted by the thing, Ding Zhen's face became very ugly.
"Director Ding recognizes this thing?"
Li Xuan sniffed it, only smelling a very light fragrance, and asked strangely.
Ding Zhen nodded and said, "I had an adventure when I was young, and I happened to see this kind of thing once.
This is the sachet of the civet, which can secrete a strange fragrance.
This fragrance has a huge attraction to monsters in the estrus period. No wonder those monsters will run to Fenglin City after they are in estrus!"
"It's effective if it's so far away?"
Li Xuan was surprised.
Ding Zhen snorted coldly and said, "Fenglin City is less than forty kilometers away from the edge of the forest, and this thing does not need to attract all monsters. It is enough to attract a few high-level monsters.
Don’t forget that the nose of the armored beast is the most sensitive, and you can easily distinguish the smell of humans from dozens of kilometers away!”
Li Xuan suddenly realized that this was the "head-horse effect".
As long as the sachet of the Civet can attract the armored beasts with the most sensitive sense of smell, other monsters in the estrus will all swarm like snowballs.
When they arrived near Fenglin City, their sensitive noses smelled the fragrance secreted by the sachets, and the situation inevitably got out of control.
"This thing burns out immediately!"
Ding Zhen’s disgusted Tao.
"Can you give it to me?"
Li Xuan hurriedly stopped him.
If he didn't know that this was the sachet of Tian Civet, Li Xuan would definitely be the first to agree to burn it, but now he has another idea.
There is a main material for a pill, which is the sachet of Tian Civet. How could it be spared if you meet him?
"If it is not burned, it may attract monsters."
Lai Cangdao.
"It should be fine to put it in a private plane, right?"
Li Xuan smiled.
"Of course there is no problem...but does the imperial envoy already have a private plane?"
Lai Cang was obviously stunned.
“That’s not.
Anyway, please rest assured, I will not let this thing harm Fenglin City any more."
Li Xuandao.
No one would make things difficult for Li Xuan for this little thing, and everyone acquiesced to this matter.
The monsters seemed to be no longer coming to attack the city, and the city returned to peace.
The next step is to clean up the mess, everyone divided the work, Lai Cang was responsible for rectifying the city defense and repairing the city gate, An Rulong was responsible for appeaseing the citizens, Ding Zhen and Salang needed to summon the nobles and merchants in the city to let them contribute money and efforts.
Li Xuan was also assigned a task. With Lai Cang's insistence, Li Xuan had to write a letter to Xia Ruixue, asking her to lead the elites from the Six Gates to Fenglin City as soon as possible.
After the plan was completed, everyone left separately.
As soon as Li Xuan walked out of the command center, Lai Cang hurriedly chased after him.
