Zhang Yan's mind changed rapidly. Before he came, he would never have thought that Xiyuan County would attract the demon clan because of the unstable space.
But then new questions came one after another: How did the demon clan know that the space here in Xiyuan County was unstable? When did you find out?
Could it be that the demon tribe still has the ability to spy on changes in space?
He was confused, but after a second thought, Zhang Yanyou shook his head and rejected his guess. Even if the demon clan has the ability to spy on the stability of the space, it is definitely not something that the ordinary demon clan outside can do. Otherwise, how could the Demon Clan be so powerful that they would not be able to take over Xiyuan County in the hands of the Nanyuan Kingdom, and would instead be given a heavy hammer by the Demon Spirit Clan, and in the end they would have to use "negotiation" to enter Xiyuan County.
Moreover, before the offensive and defensive battle more than two years ago, the Yao clan's attitude towards Xiyuan County had always been that of "a place to fight the autumn wind" rather than a "must-contest place." The meaning of existence is almost the same as that of Yubei Mountain in Chonglan County. Just come here and get some benefits. There is no need to spend a lot of effort to win it.
In other words, it was only two years ago when the demon tribe suddenly changed their normal behavior and attacked Xiyuan County in a large scale that they got the news about the special nature of Xiyuan County.
As for how the demon clan now uses to find specific locations like this rocky beach on the territory of Xiyuan County, there should be another method. For example, there are a large number of dwarf dogs among the demon clan camping on the ground.
Zhang Yan had seen the Dwarf Dog Clan before, at the Yubei Mountain Fortress. At that time, he had just taken out the Bagua Array and set it up. The initial results showed that the Demon Clan was in trouble, so he called in the Dwarf Dog Clan, hoping to use their most sensitive sense of smell to tear through the obstruction of the Bagua Array.
In other words, it is up to the Dwarf Dog Clan to determine the location of the hole, and then the Rock Rat Clan who are also accompanying them will start the work?
But who told them?
Why were the demon clan so sure that they did not choose to leave even when so many clan members died in an unexpected situation, but just stopped digging holes?
After going around and around, we still have to return to the original doubt. How can the demon clan detect the anomalies in the space? It was even very likely that it was predicted more than two years ago.
According to the agreement signed between the Monster Clan and Nanyuan Kingdom, although the predicted time is not accurate enough, it is within its expectations. After all, what the Yaozu and Nanyuan Kingdom agreed upon was "within five years." Now that more than two years have passed, it has naturally not exceeded expectations.
The first thing that came to Zhang Yan's mind was that the only person who could predict such spatial changes in Xiyuan County in advance was the Martial Saint Xu Fengyang, whom he had met once before.
But after thinking about it carefully, I think it doesn't make sense. Because if it is Xu Fengyang, he is indeed capable of doing it. But why should we help the demon clan? After all, Jiangwuyuan was founded by Xu Fengyang. Even if there is any news, it will be cheap. Jiangwuyuan or Human Race, no matter how bad it is, it will be cheap for the Great Ghost King of Ten Thousand Frontiers, right? No matter how you think about it, it shouldn’t be the demon clan’s turn.
"A...monstrous strongman who can be compared with Martial Saint Xu Fengyang?!"
Zhang Yan finally came to this conclusion in his mind.
If you continue to think along this conclusion, Zhang Yan's initial judgment will be closed. The "black ice" and "black spot death" appearing here are not bad news for those monsters, but it means that they have found the right place.
It may not be easy for the demon tribe to defend something that they would rather sacrifice the lives of their own kind. There is a meaning of "risks and opportunities coexist".
The risk should be the so-called "black spot death", right? What is the opportunity?
Zhang Yan thought about this, so he added several protective magic circles and shielding circles to himself, then simply came out of the ground to take a breath, and then escaped into the ground again, this time looking for the one surrounded by the demon clan. Escaped from the deep hole. He wanted to get closer to see what was there and that along with the dangers there were opportunities.
A moment later, with Zhang Yan's escape speed, he had reached a deep pit nearly a hundred feet above the ground. The hole is not big, and it cannot allow an adult to stand up straight. At most, it can allow a child as big as Wang Nian to get in. It is in line with the characteristics of the demon clan Rock Rat Clan. After all, the Rock Rat Clan is as big as a child.
Zhang Yan did not choose to go straight to the bottom of the pothole, but followed the direction of the pothole. He discovered that the pothole did not go straight down in one direction, but had several turns and changes along the way. It can be seen that this hole was indeed made by several groups of monsters several times as mentioned in the news brought by Shen Wujiu. It should be constantly adjusting the direction. Or trying it out.
When we reach the bottom, if there is light, we can tell that there is no difference from those deep in the mines. There is even some water seepage, and more than half a foot of water has accumulated in the pit.
But in Zhang Yan's perception, it's not that simple here.
"Is space distorted?!" Zhang Yan's perception was very clear about the situation at the bottom of this deep pit. He even subconsciously moved his body further away from the bottom of the pit. Because he has never encountered this situation before.
The space is actually like a piece of wrinkled paper, with creases appearing from time to time, sometimes stretching, and even appearing to be stretched to the extreme.
It is hard to imagine that the concept of "space", an alternative dimension that is ubiquitous but extremely difficult to detect, appears so clearly and intuitively in perception.
Anyway, Zhang Yan has no ability to figure out why such a strange situation occurs here.
"Where is that "black ice"?" Although Zhang Yan did not get close to observe, the perceptible distance still made him aware of every part of the bottom of the pit. But he didn't see the weird "ice" that caused the mass death of the demon clan.
By observing patiently like this, Zhang Yan discovered that the spatial distortion at the bottom of the pit actually had some patterns. It will turn over and over in a fixed twist, and its intensity will also change with the twist.
"If this place has always been like this, will the rock rats who dug here but can't detect the space distortion here like me stop? No, they will continue to dig down, and then they will always be able to compete with the strongest intensity of the space distortion. When combined with the digging action, will there be mutual contact with overlapping dimensions?!" Zhang Yan suddenly thought of a possibility.
After hesitating for a moment and confirming that the shield and defense around him were sufficient, Zhang Yan flicked his finger, and a powerful force shot straight to the bottom of the pothole, and deliberately matched it to the time when the space distortion intensity at the bottom reached its highest.
"Kacha!"
Zhang Yan was shocked when he saw that the space display of different dimensions actually overlapped with the pit bottom. His strength directly hit the rock at the bottom of the pit and also hit the space manifestation, even tearing it apart. A small opening!
Immediately afterwards, a liquid-like substance overflowed from the opening and finally dripped onto the bottom of the pit, condensing like crystal in the blink of an eye. It is exactly the same as the "black ice" that Shen Wujiu mentioned!
