Chapter 171
In the vast fog, the grain transport team moved forward step by step, at an extremely slow speed.

At this time, there were less than fifty people left in the grain transport team, which shows the hardships along the way.

Even the monk holding a clay bottle to protect them could not help but frown slightly, feeling that the casualties this time were much greater.

Although this safest road is also unsafe, the monks sent this time are all elite. For the clay bottle monks, this is beyond what they can bear.

What's more important is that the sheep bone mask and the other two monks are still behind, and their life or death is uncertain.

The few remaining pets in the food transport team also followed their owners listlessly. The life and death they experienced along the way also made them feel physically and mentally exhausted.

At this moment, both the morale and speed of the food transport team have dropped to the extreme. If there is another wave of the previous offensive, they are likely to be wiped out.

However, things in the world tend to be whatever you are afraid of.

Just as they were hurried forward dejectedly, the fog in front suddenly rolled violently, as if some ferocious beast was rushing towards them.

There was a trace of despair in Su Ding's eyes, but he still forcibly raised his spirits and called on everyone to organize a defense.

However, everyone was already exhausted physically and mentally, and even if they knew they would die if they didn't resist, they still acted very slowly.

The clay bottle monk also sighed deeply when he saw this.

It seemed that they were really going to die this time. The food transport team and he couldn't withstand the attacks of these wild animals in the mountains.

However, just as everyone was waiting nervously and exhaustedly, a naive hunting dog emerged from the thick fog first.

This hunting dog looked like it had been trained. When it saw the people in the food transport team, it did not run away. Instead, it stopped in place and began to spin around. It barked excitedly into the thick fog behind it.

Seeing this dog, Su Ding's eyes suddenly lit up and he shouted loudly: "It's our people, our people are coming!"

Sure enough, following his shout, a dozen Miao soldiers wearing armor and holding swords came out of the fog with their pets.

Seeing the people from the food transport team, these soldiers were relieved and immediately came forward to talk to Sudin.

These people were the soldiers in Sator City who came out specifically to greet them.

According to what these soldiers said, only one of the three grain transport teams that set out from the Wolf Territory arrived at Satuo City with a giant elephant. When they arrived at Satuo City, nearly [-]% of the people in that team were dead, and the monks were also dead. The casualties were so heavy that it was simply horrific.

The other grain transport team has not yet arrived at Satuo City. It seems that all of them were killed on the road.

Satuo City sent hundreds of such teams into the mountains to meet the grain transport team. This team was lucky and successfully met the grain transport team.

The clay bottle monk put away the clay bottle and silently rode back on his mount.

His escort mission was over here. He had to go back to find the sheep bone mask, even if it was a corpse, he had to bring it back.

When the people in the team saw the clay bottle monk walking back, they immediately asked Su Ding what was going on.

After learning that there were monks in the rear who had not followed, the captain of this team immediately decided to send half of the team members to follow and help.

They also use a special whistle to communicate when walking in the mountains and forests. As long as people from other teams within a few miles hear the whistle, they will come to support them.

This way their team will grow bigger and bigger!
The captain led the remaining half of the team to escort the grain transport team back to Sattuo City.

Most of the monsters within this distance have been cleaned up by the experts in the city, so it is relatively safer. A few of them are enough.

Just like that, the grain transport team was on the road again.

But this time, the members of the grain transport team were much more relaxed, and some even couldn't bear it and collapsed on the elephant's back and fell into a deep sleep.Zhou Bai followed Su Ding and walked forward slowly, just like that, he walked out of the fog.

After walking out of the fog, a magnificent city appeared in front of them.

This huge city was built in the middle of two mountain peaks, just dividing the north and south roads.

The city wall close to Zhou Bai and the others was covered with dried blood, and the heavy masonry was also full of dents caused by impact.

This is a city that has experienced countless wars. Zhou Bai can feel from the dried blood how terrifying the power of these great monsters that have left traces is.

But this city is still there, which means that those big monsters eventually died at the foot of this giant city.

The captain of the small team led the people from the food transport team to the huge city gate and shouted something, and the sound echoed for unknown miles.

Soon a reply came from the city gate, and then the heavy wooden city gate slowly opened.

Zhou Bai, Su Ding and others walked slowly into the city.

When they passed through the long doorway and entered the city's main road, they discovered that the road was surrounded by haggard and emaciated people on both sides.

When they saw the grain transport team coming, they all knelt down and kowtowed, with tears streaming down their faces.

Su Ding sat on the back of the elephant and said to Zhou Bai next to him: "It's too dangerous here. It's not easy to transport food in once, but it doesn't matter. There are mountains all around. You won't die of hunger. What's really important is salt. There is no salt." People will have no strength and will get sick, and the salt we transport must be given priority to the soldiers and monks guarding the city. These people have to wait if they want to eat salt!"

"But they still respect us so much!"

"If we don't come, they may not be able to take a bite of salt even if they wait for a year. If we come, their hope will be higher!"

Su Ding smiled bitterly and shook his head, then took out a handful of dried radish from nowhere and handed it to the child waiting on the roadside.

Dried radish is a good thing here. Children will immediately run back to their parents after getting it, for fear that others will snatch it away.

Zhou Bai nodded in agreement upon seeing this.

The national conditions of Miao territory are indeed very different from those of Sui Dynasty.

In the Sui Dynasty, even Juitu Pass, which had been fighting for many years, never lacked food.

And this is also due to the fact that the Great Sui Dynasty is located in the Central Plains, and there are no big demons to harass the country.

Otherwise, if the Sui Dynasty is transferred to the Miao border, the soldiers guarding the border will collapse within two days.

Although Zhou Bai has not been to several other countries, he is certain that Miaojiang is definitely the country that is best at dealing with big monsters among them.

The captain led them through most of the city, and after experiencing the applause and cheers of countless people, they finally stopped in front of a mansion made entirely of rough rocks.

At this moment, there was already an old man with gray hair and gray hair standing in front of the mansion door.

Seeing them coming, the old man hurriedly came up to them and laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, Sattuo City can be saved, it can be saved!"

Su Ding got off the elephant's back and held tightly the old man's stretched out hand and said: "Old City Lord, we are late!"

"Hahaha, not too late, not too late, not at all!"
