one's door

Chapter 388
It was almost noon when Shen Wujiu left Zhang's house.He stayed at Zhang's house for a full two hours this time.Most of the next hour was spent talking with Zhang Yan in the study in the backyard of the Zhang family.

The matter is not complicated, Shen Wujiu was ordered by the Nanyuan State Special Case Department and the Ministry of Military Affairs to inform Zhang Yan of the strange "black spot death" incident that recently occurred on the border of Xiyuan County.Things were weird at first, and I wanted to hear Zhang Yan's thoughts.The second is to make a foreshadowing, in case Zhang Yan needs to help later, it is easier to speak up.

Of course, for the time being, the situation in Xiyuan County did not affect the soldiers of the West Route Army, and all the dead were monsters.It's just that this method of death is too weird and very similar to the plague that devours countless lives.And the Yaozu are scared now, they haven't dug holes in the boundary of Xiyuan County recently.But the number sent has not decreased at all.It is obvious that they are stationed at the places where the accident happened.The West Route Army continued to follow these monster races in a more cautious way than before.

There was not much news, but Zhang Yan asked for many details, which made Shen Wujiu stay in Zhang's mansion for so long.

The reason why Zhang Yan asked so many questions was that he didn't think that the death of those monster races was due to the so-called plague.Because in his opinion, such a coincidence does not exist.Xiyuan County is not an ice field, and what kind of ancient source of plague can be hidden underground.And even if it happened once, what about the second time?Coincidence to be met twice in a row by the unlucky Yaozu?

Besides, it is not a day or two for the Yaozu to dig holes everywhere in Xiyuan County, Zhang Yan knows that.How can there be no farts in the past, but now they appear together when accidents happen?

The most outrageous thing is the "black ice" that can be clearly seen by the naked eye.This has nothing to do with the so-called plague.

Unlike Shen Wujiu's feeling of gloating over the Yaozu's encounter this time, what Zhang Yan felt was the opposite.He felt that although the Yaozu had died, maybe it wasn't a bad thing for them, and they were even happy about it.Because it is very likely that the "black ice" is what they have been looking for in Xiyuan County for more than two years!
Or is it a sign of some kind of approaching goal?
Zhang Yan was very curious about the actions of the Yaozu before.Words such as "vision" and "catastrophe" are already full of suspense, plus the actions of the monster race.Now seems to be the time to reveal the answer.

"There is no death for no reason in the world." Zhang Yan remembered that there was such a description of life and death in Taoism books.

Whether it is birth, old age, sickness or death, it is all in fate.Although fate has changed, it still generally follows the "one drink and one peck". The outcome of what you do is said to be determined by God, but in fact it should be "you decide your own destiny".Unless you want to go against the sky, then it's God's turn to take action.

Just like those dead monsters, if they don't dig holes, they won't touch the "black ice" and naturally they won't die.

But how?

Is it poisonous?

A few days later, Zhang Yan sent the three apprentices to the gate of Longhu Mountain to continue to clean up, while he himself continued to drive the Skylark Shuttle to the southwest.

After flying for another two hours, Zhang Yan entered the boundary of Xiyuan County.Looking down, it is indeed much flatter than Beijiang County and other places, and there are almost no undulating terrain that can be called "mountain".

Zhang Yan didn't disturb anyone, so he didn't plan to meet the military commander in Baishi City, or his friend Zhou Cang whom he hadn't seen for several years.It's not difficult for him to come here once, it's better to explore the things that are curious in his heart first.

Zhang Yan's goal is the place where he first discovered that "black ice", that is, the rocky beach near the north of Zhou Cang's residence.

First find the White Horse Stone on the border as a landmark, and then search in the northeast direction. Not long after, Zhang Yan saw a large area of ​​gravel in the sky, which was inlaid on the surrounding flat terrain like a tidal flat, and there was little vegetation. All stones of different sizes.

However, scattered on this rocky beach, there are also dark and eye-catching cave entrances, as well as round tents distributed not far from these cave entrances.

Zhang Yan has not been in the army for a short time, and the human race likes to set up tents with hexagonal tents, with clear edges and corners.The round tent in front of me is obviously not the habit of the human race.Combined with the news from Shen Wujiu, Zhang Yan was certain that these tents must have been built by the monster clan stationed here.

Not in a hurry to fall, Zhang Yan hovered high in the sky, his perception went down, and he frowned after a while.Zhang Yan didn't notice it just now, after he was concentrating, he found that this place seemed to be really different from other places.

It's not because of the difference brought about by the aura of the monster clan stationed here, but because the earth aura rising from the ground here is different from other places.It's like a glass of white water suddenly has a little bit of bitter taste, you don't know it at first, you can taste it after careful tasting.

Is there something wrong with Yin Qi?no!

Zhang Yan's careful feelings are always specious but cannot be detailed.In the end, I let go of my perception again, thinking that I still have to try down-to-earth to know.

He found a deserted place on the rocky beach, and then Zhang Yan escaped directly into the ground, but he didn't dare to go deep, and shallowly let himself stay almost three feet underground.Then focus on the perception again, and continue to explore.

"Yes! It's this weird feeling! I've never encountered it in other places. It's not right, although I haven't encountered it in other places, why do I feel familiar?!"

Zhang Yan's heart was inexplicably touched.Calmly, he began to recall in his mind when and where he had felt the weird feeling about this area at this moment.

After a while, Zhang Yan couldn't help but stare sharply even in the state of earth escape.He remembered that his strange feeling at this moment had happened before.I also understood why this place gave him a strange feeling.

"It's space! The space here is extremely unstable!"

Zhang Yan found a similar feeling in his memories. It was the instability he felt in the space of Huangtianyu when he fixed the storage space when he first started refining the storage magic weapon.Although the feeling at that time was not very abrupt, it was obvious.It is much more direct than what his perception feels from this underground at this moment.That's why he wasn't sure where he had gotten this feeling from.

In other words, the reason why this rocky beach is "different" from other places is that the underground space here has changed, or has it been in this unstable state since before?
Is it because of this reason that the Yaozu chose to dig holes in this rocky beach?

Did that weird "black ice" appear here because of the unstable space?
