The other two farmers are called Shitou, Iron Hoe, and Wood Tree. Their talents are ordinary.
After reviewing the data of the five people, Lin Rui roughly understood the situation. The talents of the five villagers range from low to high, as Stupid, Ordinary, Good. Levels range from Tier One to Tier Three, but there is not much difference in attributes. They are all cannon fodder that Lin Rui could easily wipe out with a wave of his hand. No wonder they were filled with fear towards Lin Rui.
In summary, these are not combat units, relying on them to defeat a Tier One Magical Beast and recapture City Hall seems somewhat unrealistic.
"Let's go, take me to see the situation with the Mad Snake."
Upon hearing the intention to approach the Magical Beast, the farmers all trembled with fear, but no one dared to disobey the Lord's wishes and had to head towards City Hall under the lead of Chong Liu.
Lin Rui took the opportunity to survey this territory. The terrain is relatively flat, with a dense forest and majestic mountains to the east, and broad plains to the west. There is also a shimmering lake.
The former territory of the Golden Pansy Domain was built in the middle of the plain, but now, apart from City Hall, all that is left are ruins.
Frowning, Lin Rui asked, "Were these buildings all destroyed by the Mad Snake?"
Chong Liu quickly replied, "As the Lord sees it, the Mad Snake completely destroyed our home and is now entrenched in City Hall, refusing to leave."
Lin Rui looked towards City Hall and indeed saw a dark snake, two meters thick and dozens of meters long, coiled together, lazily squinting its eyes and basking in the sun.
Lin Rui attempted to check its data and remarkably, he was able to open it.

After reviewing its attributes, Lin Rui calmly analyzed the situation. With his small stature, he could be swallowed in one encounter.
Three years of facing the Dark Abyss alone had strengthened his will considerably. Although the situation was critical, he remained calm and analyzed the circumstances.
In the grand Era of Civilization, it wouldn't set a dead-end trap from the beginning for the Explorer. There must be a way to resolve this seemingly desperate situation.
Soon, Lin Rui realized, activating the Lord identity might only require taking back City Hall, not necessarily killing this Giant Beast. If someone could lure it away, he could enter City Hall and activate his attributes.
Lin Rui looked at the five farmers, thinking about who to send to lure this enormous creature away.
But seeing the perplexed faces of the five farmers, clueless farmers, Lin Rui quickly dismissed the idea. After all, these people were his subjects. Sending them to certain death was something he couldn't compromise on.
Furthermore, having this chance to re-engage with the world, Lin Rui didn't want to be cowardly.
Today, he would face the challenge and keep this behemoth within the Golden Pansy Territory!
Kill the Giant Monster, get the treasures!
Afterwards, Lin Rui carefully considered the information he had encountered since entering this world. After pondering for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Chong Liu, asking, "Did you previously hide in a cellar?"
Chong Liu quickly replied, "Yes, my Lord, it's the cellar at City Hall, with an exit at the back of the City Hall. The territory's storage usually goes in through there."
"The Mad Snake hasn't discovered you?"
"Once the Mad Snake passed above, but seems it didn't sense any living people several meters below."
Lin Rui immediately made an assumption, perhaps due to City Hall itself. It's the foundation of the territory, hard to destroy. So, even though the entire territory was ruined, City Hall remained intact.
