Chapter 414 Black Peak
It's autumn to spring again, and most of the common people in the land of Nanyuan Kingdom know that food at home has become much more expensive in recent years than in previous years, at least [-]% more expensive.In the Zhuangzi around the major cities, many farmers who grow fruits and vegetables are also required to start growing some staple food.

Ordinary people don't understand why this is so.Because in the past few years, haven't you heard of any wars?Why does the staple food seem to be tight?
Those who are a little bit more informed know that the [-]% increase in staple grains is due to the result of the government's opening of warehouses to parity prices. If the officials don't care, it will not be a problem for the market's grain prices to increase by [-]%.The reason for the increase in staple food is naturally "shortage of food".

But how could there be food shortages if there was no war?

This has to look to the southwest.Xiyuan County, the largest staple food producing area in Nanyuan Country, has been reducing production every year in the past few years, and it is no wonder that the price of food in the entire Nanyuan Country has not risen.

But why does Xiyuan County reduce production year by year?Few people know the reason for this.

Since a year ago, various places in Xiyuan County began to experience more and more frequent changes.A deep pit in the ground, or a protruding hill, or a strange forest that appeared inexplicably, etc.

Different from the tension of the Yaozu, the West Route Army stationed in Xiyuan County has always been very calm, methodical and almost never in a hurry. They are waiting for the Yaozu in Xiyuan County to move first, follow their movements, and Always keep a safe distance of one or two miles from the Yaozu.

At the same time, the trend of the monster clan, as well as every new change, and the loss of the previous monster clan should be recorded and reported.

Although compared with the Yaozu, the West Route Army lost very few manpower this year.But it's not easy.Even the entire West Route Army was dragged into dozens of strands by more and more strange changes.As a result, not only the strength of the Chinese army in Baishi City is less than half of what it was when it was abundant, but even the military bases in various places are also short of manpower.

In order to ensure that every location of the change is not missed, and that there are too few people to follow and lose meaning, what the West Route Army can do is to distribute the force as much as possible, and only leave the main force of the front-line Chinese army in Baishi City to support them. That's fine.On the border from Xiyuan County to Zhongding County, there are more than [-] forbidden troops stationed temporarily, ready to reinforce at any time.

In this way, even most of the main force that had previously stood on the border with Haoyue Yao Country followed the trend of the situation and withdrew most of their strength from the border to deal with emergencies in Xiyuan County.

Zhou Cang received the military order a month ago, asking him to get ready and be ready to listen to the call at any time. At the same time, he only needs to leave a basic sentry post on the Baimashi front line.

Although this decision was beyond Zhou Cang's expectation, he could only implement it immediately.Hurry up and prepare the three battalions in your hand.

Three days ago, a new order arrived, ordering him to break out of the camp immediately and go to a special place 110 miles to the northeast.There is no name there. It used to be just a plain and farmland.There were several land subsidences more than a year ago, and the farmland has stopped farming. Now there are all monster clans and western army stalking teams over there.

Zhou Cang didn't know what he was going to do there for the time being.No further orders were received until halfway through.When he got there, he was asked to find a place that could be used as an offensive and defensive terrain to build a military camp, and at the same time monitor all the local conditions, and report any changes immediately. At the same time, he also received a warning of "Don't act rashly".

But still did not tell Zhou Cang what happened to his destination.

With curiosity in his heart, Zhou Cang made the Sanying troops arrive at their destination half a day earlier than the scheduled time by running fast.And the probing ranger also got a rough idea of ​​the destination and brought back a school order from the West Route Army who was following there, which made Zhou Cang understand the reason for coming here.

Another mutation, but this time the mutation was a bit too scary, so Baishicheng saw that the main force on the border like him was transferred back to deal with it.And the meaning of Jianjunzhai seems to be that there will be people coming in the future.They are just the first.It is estimated that it is also because of the closest relationship.

In fact, Zhou Cang had already seen the change there when he was half a day away from the destination, because the change was indeed terrifying.

It is a plain terrain that has always been there, and it is no problem to say that it is flat.Most places in Xiyuan County have this kind of terrain.

But there is still more than half a day away, what did Zhou Cang see?He actually saw a mountain peak standing very far away.Although the distance is too far, there is only a small protrusion at the end of the field of vision at first, but as the distance gets closer, his head has to be slowly tilted up to keep up with the height of the upper peak.

After finally arriving nearby, Zhou Cang reckoned that the sudden peak was at least three hundred feet high.It occupies an area like a big city.

Didn't you always say that the ground is sinking badly?Why did it suddenly turn around and take such a big mountain out?
"Where are those monster clans?" After resisting the destination, Zhou Cang quickly found that the scattered surroundings were all followed by brothers from the Western Army, and he didn't see the monster clan that should have more numbers than the tracking team.

"Returning to my lord, the camps of the monster clans are all at the core, closest to the previous depressions. And this time the mountain peaks rose from the center of those depressions, so... so those monster clans have disappeared .” When he said this, the school order of the tracking team also had a chill down his back.He was very grateful to the military order for always asking them to keep a certain distance from the monster race.If not, this time they will also be like those disappeared monster races, living and dying.

Zhou Cang chuckled, his view on the Yaozu is that all Yaozu should die immediately, and the more he dies, the happier he will be.And his views accounted for the vast majority of similar people in the entire Western Army.

"Well, did you send someone to take a closer look?"

"No. Because after that mountain appeared, all the vegetation around it withered quickly. Look over there, there is still a small field over there this morning, with a lot of weeds growing in it. Now it's bare and all withered on the ground.

Later we found some local wild animals and let them go, but they fell to the ground and died within a few steps.Therefore, I dare not let the brothers go forward.

This mountain is very strange. "

Zhou Cang raised his head, thinking to himself that this mountain is really strange.Apart from what the school order said just now, the most intuitive thing about this mountain is its color.The bare ones were all black, as black as ink.There will also be some metallic brilliance flashing in the sun.

"The ones on this mountain don't look like rocks?" Zhou Cang subconsciously thought in his heart.
