Ye An

The barrel is big enough for two people to sit down.

Leaning on the curved wooden board, Ye An looked at Xiao Yun on the opposite side through the dense water vapor.

Xiao Yun's complexion was very fair, and it became even paler against the backdrop of the heat.Only the lips showed a little light pink, but it was so light that it was almost invisible.

Even sitting in the hot water, Xiao Yun only took off the coat and lining, and the trousers were soaked in water and wrapped around the legs, outlining a slender line.

The belt is tied around the waist, and a long scar extends from the back to the side of the waist, all the way into the edge of the belt.

The scars are pale in color, irregular in shape, and look like old wounds.Just judging from the length and the marks left behind, the injury was extremely serious at that time.This is the case with Xiao Yun's identity as a mutant, but if it were someone else, he would have died long ago.

Ye An watched too intently, it was impossible not to attract Xiao Yun's attention.

"how?"

Probably because of the water vapor, Xiao Yun's voice sounded lower than usual, even a little hoarse.

"How did you get this scar?" Ye An was really curious, so he couldn't help asking.

"This?" Xiao Yun lowered his head and covered his waist with his fingers. If Ye An hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten about this scar, even though these marks would never disappear.

"This is an injury I suffered when I was a child."

"When I was a child?" Ye An looked up in surprise.

Such a serious injury, even adults may not be able to bear it.

"When I was eight years old." Xiao Yun leaned back, with his arms outstretched on the edge of the wooden barrel, raised his neck, and looked at the messy texture of the ship's plank. His long-standing memories gradually came back. It was when he was taken out of Haicheng After that, go back for the first time.

"Eight years old." Ye An looked at Xiao Yun, felt the other party's emotions, and suddenly remembered the dream he broke into before, not sure if there was a connection between the two.

"My father was the former city lord of Haicheng. When Haicheng was betrayed and attacked, it was engulfed by a tsunami. Most of the people in the city had no bones left. Those who escaped were scattered in all directions, each avoiding the pursuit of the betrayers." Xiao Yun His tone was very calm, so calm that Ye An was surprised.

"At that time, a friend of my father rescued me, concealed his identity, and took me to wander around."

When he was taken out of Haicheng, Xiao Yun was still a baby, and he didn't have too deep memories of his parents and homeland.Most of what he knew today was told by Lu Qing.

Lu Qing protected him from being chased and killed, led him to wander in the wilderness, and taught him all the necessary knowledge.After he is sensible, take him back to the ruins of Haicheng, hoping that he can see his hometown with his own eyes.

Only at that time, they met the herd of beasts and the hunting team of Thousand Cities.It was at that time that the traitor hiding in Qiancheng knew that the city lord of Haicheng still had blood left in the world, and as the heir of the city lord, Xiao Yun was still alive.

"At that time, the situation was urgent, and the herd of beasts came very quickly. Uncle Lu had to hide me and try to distract the attacking mutant beasts. We didn't expect that the hunting team followed the herd of beasts, and the leader of the hunting team was the former City Lord of Qiancheng. "

"The former Qiancheng City Lord?" Ye An asked.

"Yes, it's also a puppet. Compared with Qianwu, he is much more difficult to deal with." Xiao Yun looked away, and bent a long leg in the water, with his knees higher than his shoulders, which could easily touch his chin.

"I was discovered." Xiao Yun said it easily, but Ye An could imagine how dangerous the situation was at that time.

"Is this scar left at that time?"

"Yes." Xiao Yun's hand was covered with scars again.He thought he had forgotten it long ago, but the fact is that the memory suddenly came back, and he still clearly remembered every bit of pain at that time.

"At that time, the Lord of Qiancheng raised two mutated jackals. He didn't intend to do it himself, and he planned to throw me to his pet."

The mutant jackal's teeth are extremely sharp.

The young child was dragged to the beach, the flesh was torn open, and the blood splashed on the sand, which dried quickly in the hot sun and formed dark red plaques.

"People from Qiancheng leaned against the car and gathered around to bet on how long I can last and how long it will take me to die."

Ye An could imagine the situation at that time, and subconsciously touched his neck.

He has long experienced the style of Qiancheng people.

"Uncle Lu was trapped by the herd of beasts, and there was no way to come back to save me. I could only struggle desperately and try my best to get out. At that moment," Xiao Yun suddenly stopped, raised his hand, spread his five fingers, and a big group The water vapor was drawn into his hands, continuously gathered inward, and soon formed into a ball, forming a transparent ice ball, "My ability has exploded."

"Outbreak?" Ye An caught Xiao Yun's words, not awakening but outburst.

"Not long after I was born, I showed that I have this ability, but it's just not strong enough." Xiao Yun said.

His father is a mutant, and his mother is equally powerful. He is the first and only child of his parents, and it is not uncommon for him to have supernatural powers.Just not strong enough to be compared to his father at all.

"During the years of wandering, Uncle Lu has been trying to improve my abilities. When there is no spar, he specializes in hunting large mutant beasts. The energy contained in the meat of this kind of mutant beasts far exceeds that of ordinary animals and birds. "Xiao Yun closed his fingers, the ice ball in the palm made a crackling sound, the surface quickly climbed up the cracks, the shattered ice particles splashed, and the ball exploded in mist, "Take me back to Haicheng, in addition to showing me my hometown, it is also For the spar left in the city."

It's a pity that the operation didn't go smoothly. Not long after they arrived, the two encountered a herd of beasts attacking them.When Lu Qing led the herd away, the people from Qiancheng sneaked in and caught Xiao Yun who didn't have much self-protection ability at that time.

"I can clearly feel the passing of life, and I can even hear the sound of blood flowing out of the wound." Xiao Yun's voice was always calm, without sharp ups and downs, "The wound hurts, but I don't want to die, I want to live."

This sentence resonated with Ye An.

He has repeatedly fallen into trouble and even despair, and the only thing he thinks about is to survive.

He didn't know why he had such a strong will to survive, but relying on this will, he survived successfully.

"I started to lose consciousness, but I never fell into a coma. I could feel the teeth approaching my neck, and I knew I was probably going to die. In that moment, everything changed."

Xiao Yun looked at Ye An, his eyes gradually faded and became transparent, like the purest ice crystals.

"I can't describe this change in detail, it can only be..."

"Power." Ye An said suddenly.

"Yes." Xiao Yun nodded.

At that time, he was already unconscious, and his survival instinct caused him to explode. A sudden gust of wind swept across the beach. When the wind stopped, except for a few people from Qiancheng, everyone ended their lives in the ice.

Lu Qing, who rushed back, did not meet the Qiancheng City Lord who fled, but only saw the Qiancheng Hunter who was frozen into ice, and Xiao Yun who was firmly protected by the ice and fell to the ground.

"When I woke up, I was no longer in the ruins of Haicheng. The hunting team of Thousand Cities died there, and the herd of beasts could come back at any time. It was no longer safe near the ruins, so Uncle Lu had to take me away. Time was in a hurry, and the spar couldn't be taken away. Find two half-crystallized animal bones in the city and make this long knife."

Xiao Yun's long knife was placed not far away, and he could grab it with his hand.

This is a long-standing habit, most hunters are like this, Ye An is the same.Those who have experienced battle and life and death will not stay away from their weapons, no matter what the situation is.

"My injury was very serious, and I overused my abilities. It took two full years to fully recover." Xiao Yun continued, "When I was 15 years old, Uncle Lu fell ill from overwork, the old injury recurred, and he became seriously ill again. , died in Hunter City."

"Hunter City?"

"I defeated the strongest hunter in Hunter City when I was 14 years old. It's a pity that Uncle Lu left too early..." Xiao Yun lowered his voice and did not continue to speak.

Ye Jing looked at him quietly, and suddenly leaned closer, put one knee between Xiao Yun's legs, lifted his chin, and looked deeply into those eyes that were terrified at first, but now they felt amazingly beautiful.

Neither of them spoke. It was unknown who started it. The cold was covered with warmth, and the breath blended in the heat.

With cold hands clasping the belt around Ye An's waist, Ye An raised the corners of his mouth, put his hands into Xiao Yun's hair, grabbed the end of his hair forcefully, and when he was forced to raise his head, he opened his mouth and bit the side of his neck.
