Under Zhou Bin's leadership, the four county towns were merged into a new Baofang City, and Zhou Bin became the new city lord.

He also had someone carve a new jade seal according to local customs as a token of the city lord.

Everything was unfolding slowly according to Zhou Bin's plan. Zhou Bin requested that the previous workshop be directly upgraded to a large salt production plant, so that more people would have food to eat and more salt could be produced.

He specifically found a spacious area in the original county town of Baijiang City and began to build the Baofang Salt Factory, preparing to use salt as an important industry to support their development.

The previous City Lord's Mansion of Baijiang City was also upgraded to the City Lord's Mansion of Baofang City, and everyone in the four counties had to obey Zhou Bin's orders.

At the same time, Zhou Bin organized the city defense forces of several cities into a new Baofang City defense force, with the number of people reaching two thousand.

Zhou Bin also appointed Ling Shan as the new commander of the city defense army, and also appointed other deputy generals and managers.

Through such operations, the four cities will gradually merge into one, and future development will be smoother.

Just when Zhou Bin was looking forward to future development, suddenly one of his soldiers came to report that something big had happened.

Zhou Bin was stunned and hurriedly asked what happened. The soldier told him that someone had just returned from Lao Miao Town and said that the place had almost become a ruin!

Zhou Bin was shocked after hearing this: "What did you say? Lao Miao Town has become a ruin? How is this possible?"

But the soldier said with certainty that the news was correct and the man said he saw it with his own eyes.

Zhou Bin could no longer sit still, and immediately planned to take people to Lao Miao Town to check it out.

Before he left, his men came to report that two people wanted to see him.

Zhou Bin quickly let the two people in. After they came in, Zhou Bin discovered that they were Han Jinshu and his daughter.

But Zhou Bin was frightened by their appearance. They were dressed in rags, with unkempt hair and dirty faces, just like beggars.

Han Jinshu came over as soon as he saw Zhou Bin, and said with tears in his eyes: "City Lord, we finally found you!"

Zhou Bin asked in surprise: "Uncle Han, what's wrong with you? What happened?"

Han Ruyun said with tears in his eyes: "Brother Zhou...Brother Zhou, all the villagers are dead!"

Hiss! Zhou Bin couldn't help but take a breath. He simply couldn't believe it.

He hurriedly asked the two to sit down and had someone bring them tea. After they finished drinking the water, Zhou Bin asked, "Uncle Han, what happened? Tell me quickly."

Han Jinshu sighed: "Alas! This is all God's will!"

Then Han Jinshu told him what had happened. It turned out that since Zhou Bin left, everyone lived their lives as usual, working in the fields every day, going home to cook, and going to bed when it got dark. Their lives were quite peaceful.

But just two days ago, at exactly midnight, when everyone in the town was fast asleep, a huge roar suddenly rang out out of nowhere.

The sound was so loud that it made the house buzz.

Everyone was awakened from their sleep, not knowing what had happened.

Han Jinshu was also awakened at that time, and quickly put on his clothes and went out to check.

As soon as he arrived in the yard, his wife got up, and then his daughter Han Ruyun came out.

The Han family's servants also came out, and everyone looked around curiously, wondering what the loud noise was.

So Han Jinshu led his people hurriedly out of the house and came to the street. At this time, all the men, women, old and young in the town ran out.

Everyone's face was filled with tension, not knowing what was making such a scary noise.

Suddenly, the sound rang out again. Someone inadvertently looked into the distance and was shocked to death because a huge python appeared not far away.

His body was like a huge house, and his eyes were bigger than lanterns. At this moment, there was green light in his eyes, and he was rushing towards us at a rapid speed.

Wherever it passed, everything turned into ruins.

Everyone was so scared that they ran away. Han Jinshu was also frightened and immediately pulled his daughter and wife to run together.

The python went berserk and destroyed all the houses in the town, with a blue light spewing out of its mouth.

As soon as the blue light touched the houses and trees, they immediately started a fire and the whole town was instantly engulfed in flames.

The cries of men, women, old and young were heard everywhere, and many people were engulfed by the flames while running.

He was terrified and pulled Ruyun and his wife to run desperately, but the python was so fast that it soon caught up with them.

The people running behind them were unable to dodge and some were swallowed by the python's stomach, some were crushed to death, and some were burned to death.

The situation was like hell on earth. The python wreaked havoc throughout the town, killing everyone it saw.

Although Han Jinshu was old, he pulled his wife and daughter and ran desperately to save them.

But their speed was no match for the python. It soon caught up with them, opened its bloody mouth, and swallowed Mrs. Han into its stomach in one gulp.

The two men were so frightened that they screamed loudly and were about to die in Shekou.

At this critical moment, suddenly a flute sound came from a distance. The python was stunned when it heard the flute and stopped killing.

It looked back, shook its head reluctantly, turned around and left quickly.

After a while, the python disappeared.

The two of them sat down on the ground at once, feeling weak all over and gasping for breath.

Han Ruyun thought of her mother being eaten by the python, and tears fell like rain, crying for her mother continuously.

Han Jinshu was also in tears. He didn't expect that his wife would die here.
