Upon hearing the guard's words, the City Lord was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Quickly invite them to the main hall. I will go and receive them now!"
It was basic etiquette to go to the main hall to receive the higher-ups. The City Lord immediately looked at Lu An and said, "Young hero, please wait here for a moment. I will discuss with you after I meet with the Prefecture Overseer's men!"
"No need." Lu An smiled and said, "City Lord, please go ahead. I have something to do and need to leave."
The City Lord was stunned and hurriedly asked, "Young hero, don't you want to stay? I haven't had the chance to thank you for your righteous rescue! "
"It's nothing much. You don't have to thank me." Lu An said, "However, there's something I would like to remind you of."
The City Lord immediately said, "Young hero, please speak!"
"The snake in Gao Lu Mountain is not an ordinary creature. Its strength is not something you can imagine." Lu An said seriously, "It's not an exaggeration to say that once the snake awakens, it can easily destroy the entire Dylu Country, not to mention your Qingshan City. My suggestion is to evacuate the entire Qingshan City and even the Dylu Country to prevent heavy losses. As for the men sent by the Prefecture Overseer, don't let them enter the mountain. They might just be sending themselves to their deaths. "
Destroy the Dylu Country?
Upon hearing Lu An's words, the City Lord was completely dumbfounded. It was just a snake from the mountain. Even if it was a mystical beast, how strong could it be? Qingshan City had been here for more than two hundred years and had never heard of any powerful mystical beasts!
"I understand." The City Lord still said, "I will report this matter to the higher-ups."
Lu An did not say anything else and left. Looking at Lu An's departing figure, the City Lord took a deep breath and said, "Fortunately, the Prefecture Overseer's men came at the wrong time. Otherwise, this young hero would definitely be of great help in capturing the snake. However … is it really as scary as he said? "
After saying that, the City Lord shook his head and hurried to the main hall after tidying up his appearance.

Moments later, in the main hall.
Upon seeing the ten people in the main hall, the City Lord hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "It's Qingshan City's honor to have everyone here to help!"
The City Lord could sense the aura of these ten people. Without exception, they were all level three Heavenly Masters. Only the Prefecture Overseer was a Level Four Celestial Master. The fact that so many Level Three Celestial Masters had come showed that the Prefecture Overseer placed enough importance on this matter. Including himself, eleven Level 3 Heavenly Masters were definitely a huge force.
After the City Lord explained the situation to these people, the leader of the group said loudly, "It's just some snake type strange beasts, what's there to be afraid of? Seeing that the City Lord is still seriously ill, there's no need for you to go. The ten of us will go and guarantee that we'll bring back a sack of snake gall. When the time comes, we'll make wine for you to drink and nourish you! "
As soon as he said that, the others immediately laughed out loud. Seeing that these people were so confident, the City Lord heaved a sigh of relief and smiled apologetically. No matter what, having confidence was better than not having confidence. Just as the City Lord was about to say something, he suddenly recalled what the young hero had said to him. After pondering for a while, he said, "Just now, a young hero came here and said that the snake on the mountain was very powerful and could destroy the entire Dylu Country. He asked us to retreat and not go there. Should we be more careful and investigate first?"
"Destroy the Dylu Kingdom?" The leader laughed heartily and said, "I think the City Lord is scared out of his wits? How could you believe such words? You can rest assured and wait for our triumphant return to celebrate! "
Seeing this, the City Lord hesitated and did not say anything else. He asked, "When will the ten of you leave?"
"It's still early before nightfall. We'll go now!" The leader said loudly, "We'll definitely be back before nightfall. Don't forget to prepare a banquet for us. It wasn't easy for us to be free from the Prefecture Overseer's control. We'll drink to our hearts' content!"
"Alright!" The City Lord said excitedly, "Absolutely no problem!"
…
Lu An, who had already left the City Lord's Manor, naturally did not hear these people's conversation. Furthermore, he did not stay in the City Lord's Manor for long and directly returned to the Immortal Island to discuss this matter with the others.
That afternoon, the ten people sent by the Prefecture Overseer did indeed head to the High Green Mountain Range. They sang loudly and fearlessly along the way. They searched the outer mountains closest to Green Mountain City and did not find any traces of snakes. Thus, they continued to search deeper into the mountain range. In the five thousand years of records of the High Green Mountain Range, there had not been any strange beasts. How could there be snake type strange beasts?
"Boss, I think someone did it on purpose. They made it look like there were snakes, but in reality, all the cows were stolen by them?" one of them asked curiously as they walked.
"That's indeed a possibility." The boss nodded and said, "There's no other way. The Prefecture Overseer sent us here. We also have to find something. It's a good thing that we can delay for a while. We can go back a little later and enjoy ourselves in Green Mountain City! "
"Alright!" The others laughed. The feeling of freedom was still the most comfortable.
The group searched the second mountain and still did not find any traces of snakes. However, there were indeed signs of destruction everywhere. Just as the group stood at the foot of the northern side of the second mountain, someone suddenly shouted, "Boss, look over here!"
As soon as this was said, everyone immediately ran over to take a look. They saw a deep gully in the grass, causing everyone to be stunned.
This gully was two feet wide and two feet deep. It was extremely huge, and it was obvious that it had been crushed by something. Looking in the direction of the gully, the path of movement was curvy. It was exactly the same as a snake's movement!
Seeing this gully, the smiles on the ten people's faces gradually froze. Their originally relaxed expressions turned solemn. Most mystical beasts' strength was directly proportional to their size. Snakes were one of them. Until now, they had never seen such a huge snake!
"Boss …" One of them spoke, his voice clearly trembling. "This situation … doesn't seem right …"
"Yeah …" Another person said, "Such a huge gully. If it really was a snake, its strength would definitely not be lower than ours."
The boss frowned and did not speak.
At this moment, one of them suddenly thought of something and said to the rest, "Why did the gully stop here? If it really was a snake, then where did it go? Did it fly away? "
"That's not right!" The boss had been staring at the gully and suddenly shouted, "It drilled into the ground!"
Hearing this, the group hurriedly looked over. Indeed, at the end of the gully, the soil was soft! Everyone was shocked and subconsciously retreated in a fan-shaped formation!
"Don't split up. Gather!" The boss shouted loudly!
Hearing this, the group hurriedly ran towards the boss. However, just as they moved, something strange happened.
Rumble!!!
There was a loud explosion on the ground, and in an instant, a huge black shadow appeared and enveloped everyone. The leader of the black shadow was stunned when he saw this scene.
It was a snake, a huge snake that was three hundred feet long! Just looking at its huge body was enough to make people fall into fear. When the snake hissed, a pair of fangs and a long tongue appeared, and a pair of cold snake eyes looked at the group. Everyone was so scared that they did not dare to move!
At this moment, the huge snake swooped down and went straight for the person closest to it! This person was so scared that he could not move at all. He could only watch as the bloody mouth got closer and closer to him …
Bang!
The huge snake bit this person and the sharp fangs pierced through his waist. He died on the spot!
The huge snake raised its head and swallowed the dead person into its mouth. With its huge body, there was no trace of the human being in its stomach. After the huge snake swallowed the entire person, it stuck out its tongue again and fresh blood dripped out from its mouth!
Seeing this scene, the rest of the nine people felt a chill in their hearts! The boss used all his strength to shout, "Run!!"
Immediately, the other eight people trembled and rushed out with the boss with all their strength! In reality, this snake's strength was only at the peak of the third stage. It was not much stronger than these people. If these people were not afraid and fought together, they could totally kill this snake.
However, reality proved that they were right to run. However, the result could not be changed.
The nine people who were running at full speed suddenly realized that the ground under their feet was trembling. The trembling was getting stronger and stronger, as if there was an earthquake! The nine people realized something and ran even more desperately. However, at this moment, three explosions suddenly appeared in front of the nine people. The huge explosion raised a huge cloud of dust and forcibly stopped the nine people!
After the dust settled, three giant snakes appeared in front of the nine people, looking menacing!
Not only that, but there were more explosions around them. The explosions did not stop. One after another, huge snakes appeared in front of the nine people. Soon, their numbers exceeded theirs.
In the eyes of the nine people, there was only despair left.
