Ye An

Crossing the stone path where the sea squirt was hiding, a tall grass with jagged blades appeared in front of them.

There was no sign of any small beast in the grass, but there was a faint smell of blood.Even though the heavy rain washes away, the smell of blood has not dissipated.

Ye An felt vigilant, picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it into the grass.

The originally straight tall grass suddenly trembled, and the blades with sharp edges bent inward, quickly wrapping the falling stones.

The clicking sound was clearly audible.

You don't need to see it with your own eyes, you can infer from the sound that the hard stone has been crushed to pieces.

Ye An and Xiao Yun glanced at each other, both fearful of this piece of tall grass.

"Let's take a detour." Xiao Yun said.

Ye An nodded.

Based on the situation just now, it's definitely not a good idea to rush in.

Ten thousand steps back, even if the two can break through, there is no guarantee that they will not be injured.He has never seen such a mutated plant before, God knows if there is toxin.

What's more, they will stay on the high ground to rest, there is no need to hurry, they can bypass the immediate danger and find another passage.

After making up their minds, the two walked along the edge of the grass, walked about a hundred meters, and found that the grass had become sparse.

Continuing forward, the type of mutated grass has changed, instead of having jagged leaves, it grows into an orchid shape, but it is much thicker than ordinary orchids.Buds emerge between the slender leaves, and the petals seem to be unopened, exuding a faint fragrance.

Fortunately, Xiao Yun knew this mutant plant.

The petals contain a small amount of toxin, which can anesthetize insects that eat nectar, and if there are a lot of them, they can also drunk some small animals.For the two of them, as long as they are careful, these toxins are basically not a threat.

"You can go this way." Xiao Yun suggested.

Ye An stood beside the flowers, raised his eyes and looked forward, and could faintly see the shadow of the tree crown.

At the beginning of landing on the island, he thought that the woods were not far away.The reality taught him a lesson, and made him stop thinking that he would soon reach the fruit forest.

The two reached an agreement, and Xiao Yun condensed an ice corridor that went straight through the fragrant flowers.

Unlike the tall grass encountered before, these flowers will not actively attack and cannot move. When the corridor passes through, they are directly frozen in the ice.

Petals of various colors are embedded in the ice wall, extending a colorful passage.

Walking through it, looking at the frozen flowers on both sides, time seems to be frozen, which feels very strange.

Even though it was frozen in ice, the fragrance of the flowers still did not disappear, and after smelling it for a long time, Ye An actually appeared a little dazed.Shaking his head subconsciously, he looked at Xiao Yun, who didn't make a sound, held his wrist to speed up, and quickly passed through the flower field and stepped into an open field.

There is soft wet mud under your feet, and a clear river flows two steps ahead.

The river water swelled due to the rain, overflowed the banks on both sides, and split into small streams, most of which were immersed in the soil, and a few merged into tributaries, meandering past the feet of Ye An and Xiao Yun, and disappearing among the flowers.

Swarms of small fish swim in the water, smaller than any fish Ye An has ever seen, less than the length of an adult's thumb.

The body of the fish is slender and covered with scales that shimmer with silver.The fish eyes are very special, showing a dark red color like blood, adding a bit of danger to their delicate appearance.

"What kind of fish is this?" Ye An asked Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yun shook his head and gave an answer he was not familiar with.

Not sure about the danger of the population, Ye An decided to avoid it, crossed the stream with the help of Xiao Yun's frozen ice bridge, and continued to the opposite woods.

The ice bridge crosses the stream, and the small fish in the water are very curious. They jump out of the water one after another, swing their tails, and accidentally bump into the bottom of the bridge, making a crisp sound.

Because of being attacked, the little fish immediately became angry. The fish's mouth opened, revealing fangs that were extremely inconsistent with its appearance.

Ye An couldn't help taking a deep breath, thankfully he didn't wade into the water.Being scratched by these fish scales may not be fatal, but it will definitely be quite painful.

Xiaoyu's curiosity didn't last long, and he found that the ice bridge was not a threat to him, so he quickly recovered and followed the group to swim forward.

It was not until the school of fish disappeared and the silver ripples ceased to appear on the water surface that the two boarded the ice bridge one after another and crossed the hidden and dangerous river.

The next section of the road went smoothly, except for a few eels hidden in the muddy water, the two of them did not encounter any threats.

These eels were not small in size, and the largest one was almost as thick as Ye An's wrist.Thinking of the smell of the rice field eel, Ye An couldn't help but licked his lower lip, and quickly pulled out his dagger to clean up the rice field eel.Afterwards, local materials were obtained, grass blades were woven into ropes, and the eels were tied up one by one and carried on the body.

Xiao Yun carefully observed the spot where the eel appeared, and covered the ground with his palm, freezing the muddy water underground.

Before the mud was completely frozen, there was a surge on the ground, and more than a dozen loaches emerged from the mud. Unable to withstand the sudden cold, their movements became extremely slow.

Ye An's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Good stuff!"

Needless to say, these loaches became the second harvest of the two.

Across the mud, a dense fruit forest came into view.

There are many broken logs scattered on the edge of the fruit forest, as well as stone piles driven into the ground.

Judging from the surviving signs, it is very likely that someone lived here, but it was only a long time ago, either they had moved away, or some accidents happened, leaving this piece of ruins.

There are scattered iron objects among the broken logs, most of which have been rusted.Only one dagger was still sharp, and the scabbard was half-opened. After being immersed in water for a long time, there was still no sign of rust.

"This is a beast bone." Xiao Yun picked up the dagger, tested the sharpness of the blade, and confirmed the material of the blade.

"Beast bones?" Ye An took a closer look, and sure enough, as Xiao Yun said, the dagger was polished from the bones of a mutant beast. Compared with Uncle Wang's craftsmanship, the details were a little rough, and there were no recognizable marks, but the sharpness was impressive. look sideways.

After passing several collapsed wooden houses, the two walked into the fruit forest.

The forest is very dense, the canopy is open, and the diameter exceeds several meters.

Attractive citrus hangs between the overgrown branches, the skin is still blue, but the fruity fragrance is extremely attractive.Continuing to walk in, the two found several apple and pear trees one after another, and there were large tracts of immature strawberries under the trees.

With Ye An's knowledge, it is impossible to say whether these kinds of fruits can grow together.The facts in front of him told him that animals and plants would mutate after the catastrophe, nothing is impossible.

Ye An didn't act in a hurry, but activated his abilities to search for insects and small animals hiding in the forest.

At first there was no harvest, but as time passed, there was a rustling sound, a group of small honey ants appeared under the strawberry bushes, small heads poked out from the crown of the fruit trees, there were fruit-eating birds, There are also red squirrels that make their homes in the trees.

The appearance of the red squirrel surprised Ye An.

Thinking of the days in the snow field, he would always feel a little fond of these little guys with big fluffy tails.

The red squirrel stood on the branch, scratching its belly, and looked at Ye An for a moment. Even though Ye An conveyed goodwill, he was still very vigilant, did not approach, and quickly disappeared behind the tree canopy.

Ye An felt slightly regretful, but did not force it.

With the help of small animals and insects that appeared, he determined that the fruits in this forest were non-toxic and completely edible.For a group of people who lost a lot of supplies, this is definitely a huge receipt.

The problem is that the fruits found so far are not ripe, and the taste will definitely not be very good.

Telling Xiao Yun what he had found, Ye An suggested that the two of them split up and look for other varieties of fruits in the forest, maybe there will be better and more discoveries.

"Okay." Xiao Yun had no objection, picked up the rope he brought, and walked to the depths of the fruit forest.

Just as Ye An was about to leave, he remembered the squirrel on the tree, took down a loach tied to a straw rope, and put it under the fruit tree where the squirrel was hiding.

He thought that the other party would still not respond, but when he took two steps, he heard a sound and his head was hit.

Ye An turned around clutching his head, and was puzzled when he saw the squirrel appearing on the tree. Suddenly, he saw it running back to the tree hole, and came back soon, holding an oval fruit in its small paws.

Before Ye An could take a closer look, the squirrel threw the fruit over.

Ye An raised his hand to catch it, but he didn't grasp the strength well, the fruit shattered in his hand, the taste of the juice and flesh was very familiar, it was a ripe loquat.

The squirrel barked twice, and its little paw pointed towards the depths of the fruit forest.

Knowing Squirrel's intentions, Ye An smiled and said, "Thank you."

After saying that, he put another eel under the tree, contacted Xiao Yun with the help of supernatural powers, and made sure that the other party hadn't gone far and understood what he meant, so he walked forward with the straw rope.

It wasn't until he disappeared into the depths of the woods that his back could no longer be seen. Then the squirrel climbed down from the tree, hopped around the eels and loaches a few times, and while waving its little claws, cut the two fish into sections and hid them piece by piece. In the tree hole, as a rare meat reserve grain.

With no pack to live alone, it had a hard time.

Ye An's kindness made him think that he had found the same kind, so he was willing to help him and told him where the ripe fruits were.So that he does not need to waste his energy and waste time beside the immature fruit trees.
