We haven't seen each other for several years, but the old friends are still the same but the worldly things have gone forever.
Zhang Yan could feel that although Zhou Cang was trying his best to restrain himself, he was still unavoidably embarrassed. He sighed secretly in his heart. This is the inevitable change caused by the continuous distance between the levels of power. Even Zhang Yan can't change it.
In this situation, maybe drinking some wine can resolve Zhou Cang's embarrassment. But this place is not suitable for drinking, so he can only change the topic to avoid making the situation awkward.
"Sir, do you know the details of that mountain?!"
Sure enough, talking about the strange black mountain where he was stationed, Zhou Cang's nervous mood eased a lot. Just now, he always felt that there was a kind of cautious pressure sitting with Zhang Yan and chatting about the past. Instinctively, he would worry that something might happen somewhere.
It caused the other party's displeasure, which made me a little nervous. Now that I had something specific to talk about, I immediately shifted my attention.
"Well, that mountain is not an ordinary mountain stone, but is made of an extremely special black stone, which is a material for refining weapons. To be honest, this is the first time I have seen so many black stones gathered together to form a big mountain.
.”
After listening to Zhang Yan's explanation, although Zhou Cang didn't fully understand it, he also understood that these things called black stones should not appear in this way, and such a large amount would have the effect of eroding vitality.
Magnified to a terrifying level. This is why there is no grass growing for several miles around this mountain.
"So, those monsters who were dragged in will definitely die?" Zhou Cang was very happy when he thought of this.
"Well, even the demon commander among them can't stay in Xuanshi Mountain for a long time. The demon clan below the demon commander will definitely die inside."
"Haha, sir, I feel relieved when you say that. In recent days, the monster beasts have gathered near Black Mountain. There are no less than three hundred of them. They bite the bullet and sneak up the mountain at night. Our people don't dare to get close, so we can't judge.
It’s clear. I thought they were looking for someone in the mountains. Once you come here, sir, you will be able to clear up our general’s confusion.”
Zhou Cang mentioned "our general", but Zhang Yan did not answer. He came here to meet Zhou Cang, a good friend. He was not interested in meeting the general of the Western Army stationed here.
Zhou Cang smiled. He didn't feel any grudge because Zhang Yan didn't pick up the fight. On the contrary, he was even more happy. He just vaguely mentioned it as a favor to his superiors. Zhang Yan's performance made it clear that he didn't want to see the chief officer here.
He just came to see him, Zhou Cang, which invisibly increased Zhou Cang's weight. Naturally, he was delighted.
Continuing to talk about the situation in Xuanshi Mountain, this time it was Zhou Cang who was making the introduction. It was also the latest change in the past two days. But before that, Zhou Cang asked a question that had been bothering him for a long time.
"Sir, I have a question for you."
"Oh? Mr. Zhou, please tell me."
"The bells made by Mr. are now in demand and indispensable in Xiyuan County. Even the battle a few years ago was all thanks to the bells made by Mr. so that the brothers of the Western Army could advance and retreat with a well-founded basis and did not have to be as hasty as the demon clan. Okay.
He said that he had the greatest contribution to the victory in that war!
But the bell also made me discover a strange thing. It seems that there are dangerous things on the ground in Xiyuan County that we can't see, but we can use the bell to warn of the existence of dangerous things in advance. And the monsters will be attacked by those dangerous things.
Unable to maintain the supply line, we had to flee back in a hurry.
Since the sir has made the bell, he must know everything about it. There are many speculations in the Western Army about this matter, but the security above is extremely tight and there is no way to explore it. I wonder if the sir can tell me in person? If it is not convenient, just
Pretend I didn’t say anything.”
Zhou Cang only dared to say this in front of Zhang Yan. He was not worried about causing any trouble in front of Zhang Yan. He still had this bit of trust.
Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment, but he didn’t expect that the Nanyuan Kingdom would cover up the affairs of the Spirit Tribe so closely. But think about it. The Spirit Tribe threatens ordinary people. If it spreads out at will, then as a society,
Who of the ordinary people on the cornerstone can be stable? At that time, it will be a fatal blow to any country. It will even be an extremely detrimental thing to the entire human race.
However, since Zhou Cang asked, Zhang Yan was not prepared to hide it. On the one hand, it was difficult to refuse help from friends. On the other hand, for Zhang Yan, the Spiritual Tribe was already in his cultivation path plan, and it was something that had to be solved.
If the problem can be solved, then the Eldar clan will no longer be a big problem in the future, and whether they know it or not will have little impact.
So Zhang Yan organized his inner words and told Zhou Cang about the Spirit Clan in a very simple way. It didn't involve any complicated power structure, but just combined "There are Spirit Clan in the world" and "The Spirit Clan is one."
"What kind of thing" just needs to be made clear.
But even the very brief explanation still made Zhou Cang's eyes pop out of his head. The fear in his heart made him spill the tea in his hand all over the coffee table without even realizing it.
"So those spirit tribes are always likely to pounce on people and eat them as food?" Zhou Cang swallowed. When he first heard this kind of news, he really couldn't accept it, and even his mind was a little stiff.
"Haha, Lord Zhou, don't worry too much. Although the Spirit Clan has its own uniqueness, they still have concerns because of the warriors' strong Qi and blood. They mainly target ordinary people. But there are also people who specialize in dealing with them, and that's you.
I have also seen that the Special Case Division is specially set up for the Eldar Tribe, and they have the means to defeat the other Eldar Tribe."
Zhou Cang finally calmed down his emotions, apologized, and realized that he had just lost his composure. But more importantly, he was very sensible and did not ask any more questions. Knowing one thing was probably enough. The more he knew, the more he would worry about himself.
It's not worth the discomfort if the news gets out.
Bringing back the previous topic, Zhou Cang said: "Sir, I didn't understand before that there was a heavy wind on the Black Mountain at night. When you get closer, you can often hear the bell warning you wear. Now I hear what you say.
, does this mean that the Eldar who are not “living creatures” are climbing Black Mountain on a large scale?”
"Huh? Is there such a thing?" Zhang Yan did not expect that a black stone mountain would come out. Both the demon clan and the human race who had been on the surface were unable to do anything about it. On the contrary, the spirit clan who was behind the surface seemed to have the upper hand.
But the thing is indeed as Zhou Cang said, Xuanshi is a threat to "living things", but it is not a threat to dead things like the Spirit Clan. Even Xuanshi was originally recorded in the Taoist sect as being used to refine "ghost weapons"
"The main materials complement each other?"
But I just don’t know if it’s the demon spirit tribe or the human spirit tribe, or maybe it’s both?
After chatting for a while, Zhang Yan did not stay in the military camp for a long time, nor did he choose to settle here. He just came to see Zhou Cang, and after that he still had to do business.
After affixing a few talismans to soothe the mind and strengthen the soul, Zhang Yan flew straight towards Xuanshi Mountain not far from the military stronghold.
Although you can still feel a sense of discomfort as you get closer, it is just discomfort for Zhang Yan, whose soul is solid and has made protective talismans. His vitality will not be disrupted by Xuanshi Mountain.
