Ye An

The rain continued to increase, lightning fell one after another, the water level of the river continued to rise, and the turbulent water waves hit one after another, instantly covering the crowd of earthworms crowded in the tributaries.

Xiao Yun knelt on the icicle with one knee and covered the ice with one hand. The cold wind lingered around his body, swept the falling rain, and condensed into pieces of transparent broken ice.

The ice cubes fell into the river, and the water condensed in an instant before splashing.

Blossoming ice flowers bloomed in the water, and a sharp ice blade extended from below, cutting through the surface of the mutated earthworm and wedged into the body of the earthworm.

The tributary rivers are relatively narrow, and the mutated earthworms are crowded in it, entangled with each other, leaving no gaps.

As the rain fell, the ice blades became denser and intertwined into a cage covering the river, trapping the target in it.

Ye An left the earthworm's back, stood on the thickened ice, looked up at Xiao Yun above, raised his arm and waved it twice.

Xiao Yun nodded to him, and continued to activate his abilities to trap all the targets in the river, and at the same time set up barriers on all sides of the river.Transparent icicles broke through the water, densely arranged one after another, leaving no gaps between them, forming a large ice wall that reached the river bed.

The earthworm was unwilling to be trapped. Even though he was seriously injured, he still struggled and twisted his body, and kept hitting the wall, trying to break a gap.

Ye An saw the timing, locked on to the nearby target, drew out his short knife, jumped off the ice, and landed firmly on top of the opponent's head.

Aware of the danger, the mutated earthworm swung its upper body frantically, and the suction cup on its head kept opening and closing, but it still couldn't get rid of Ye An.

Ye An held the handle of the knife with both hands, and with the blade pointing down, he stabbed it with all his strength.

The sharp blade broke through the earthworm's protection, and with Ye An's force, it cut the earthworm's back and further tore apart the wound made by the ice blade, revealing the flesh and blood under the skin.

The mutated earthworm twitched in pain, and Ye An continued to exert force until the upper body of the earthworm was completely cut open, and blood and pieces of meat fell into the water together.

The bloody smell continued to spread, and the surrounding earthworms became crazy, twisting and rushing towards the seriously injured companion.

The mutated earthworm trapped by Ye An and Xiao Yun had been torn to pieces long ago. Part of the broken skin sank to the bottom of the river, and part floated on the water surface. The marks on the edge showed that it was swallowed alive, and there was no room for resistance.

The swarm of earthworms rushed forward, and Ye An quickly retreated, taking advantage of the wounded earthworms being attacked, locked on another target, and continued the previous actions.

Earthworms were cut open one by one, and the flesh and blood were shared among the same clan.The empty skin sank into the water, or was caught by ice blades, and it no longer looked fierce like it was when it was alive.

The remaining earthworms also cannot escape the fate of death.

One moment, they ate the flesh and blood of their own race, and the next moment they would be attacked by other earthworms.

In the narrow river channel, the same scene kept happening.

Ye An avoided the attack of earthworms with the help of the ice surface, and kept cutting one target after another until all the earthworms were entangled together.

When a group falls into madness, all that awaits them is death.

A gust of cold wind hit, and ice fog wrapped Ye An's feet.

The flat ice surface changed rapidly, and an ice bridge crossed it, sending Ye An to a high place, avoiding the blood and minced flesh splashed on the river surface.

When the mutated earthworm's blood came into contact with the air, it gave off a stench, and if it smelled for too long, it could stimulate people's tears.

Ye An was taken to a high place, and the blood on the knife blade and body was washed away by the rain. Looking at the water surface, all the earthworms were entangled, and they could no longer tell each other apart.

The thunder stopped for a while, and a strange sound suddenly came from behind the ice wall.

Ye An and Xiao Yun turned their heads to look at the same time, and found that a large group of mutated snails emerged from the water, climbed up the ice surface with the help of their strong arms and legs, and crossed the wall.

Knowing their intentions, Ye An signaled to Xiao Yun that there is no need to intercept these mutated snails.Xiao Yun nodded, and at the same time raised the ice bridge, held Ye An's arm, and pulled him up to the icicle where he was.

Countless mutated snails jumped over the ice wall and climbed onto the ice surface, rushing towards the injured earthworm impatiently.

The mutated earthworms were so busy attacking each other that they didn't even notice that the danger was approaching, let alone think that these races, which they usually dismissed, turned into ferocious predators, staring at them greedily and approaching them greedily.

Because of the rain cover and the high place, Ye An couldn't see very clearly, so he could only use his supernatural powers to capture the emotions of the mutant snails.A moment of carelessness, influenced by the target, bloodthirsty excitement was intertwined, and washed through his mind like a frenzy.

"Are you all right?" Seeing Ye An pressing his forehead, his expression was not looking good, Xiao Yun asked concerned.

"It's okay." Ye An shook his head, closed his eyes forcefully, opened them after a while, and suppressed all the emotions that troubled him.

On the ice, the first batch of mutated snails approached the target.

The mutated earthworm sensed danger, but was helpless.The huge bodies are entangled with each other, and the suction cups bite each other, and they are inseparable.

The mutant snail's movements suddenly became agile, its arms and legs stretched out, supporting its body to leap from the ice, and pierced the target like a nail.

In less than a blink of an eye, the earthworm was covered with mutated snails, and the area around the wound was even more crowded.All the flesh and blood exposed to the air were covered, and at a distance, the sound of the flesh and skin being torn apart could still be heard.

Thunder roared in the sky, and the outcome of the battle in the water was already decided.

The mighty mutated earthworm was completely at a disadvantage, unable to struggle and unable to get rid of it, it could only let the mutated snail crawl all over its body and be devoured alive.

Such a scene, even if you are watching from the sidelines, you can't help but feel your scalp tingle.

The last mutated earthworm was devoured, and the mutated snails threw away the emptied prey and returned to the ice one after another.

During the operation, some of the slightly larger mutated snails suddenly stopped and fixed themselves on the ice, conveying painful emotions.

Ye An was surprised, and planned to further assimilate the mutated snail to find out the reason.

Before he could find out the answer, these mutated snails suddenly made an astonishing move. They twisted their arms and legs backwards, split the body hidden under the shell, and squeezed out orange-red beads from the wound.

The bead rolled across the ice and was soon held in place by scattered ice fragments.

The mutant snails' wounds healed quickly, as if letting go of some kind of burden, they left the ice surface with a relaxed mood, and disappeared in groups under the water, never to be seen again.

Ye An and Xiao Yun jumped off the icicle, the ice under their feet was already covered with beads.

Out of curiosity, Ye An bent down to pick up one, and found that the surface of the bead was smooth, not a pure single color, but with a circular pattern.At the same time, a sliver of energy overflowed from the inside of the bead, which He Jingshi noticed a little, but it was very similar to the river shell pearl he found on the isolated island.

"Is this a windfall?" Ye An couldn't help laughing after confirming that his feeling was correct.

Xiao Yun picked up a handful of beads, felt the energy in them, and nodded to Ye An.

"It is indeed a good thing."

When leading the earthworm away, the purpose of the two was to let everyone out of danger, and they never thought of such luck.

Calculating the time, if there is no accident, the warship will definitely travel far.If they wanted to catch up, they could not afford to delay any longer, and had to leave this tributary as soon as possible.

Having made up their minds, Ye An and Xiao Yun took off their coats, fastened their cuffs and collars, and temporarily used them as bags.

There were too many beads on the ice, two clothes couldn't cover them, so Ye An simply picked up a eaten earthworm, cut off a section and cleaned it, and then put all the beads.

Xiao Yun covered the icicles with his hands, the cold wind swirled from under his feet, and the ice wall blocking the river began to shatter.

Large pieces of ice smashed into the water, but did not sink underwater, and floated on the surface like a raft.

Xiao Yun jumped up first, followed by Ye An.

The collected beads are placed in the stern of the boat and secured with ropes to ensure that they do not get washed into the water.

The river was turbulent, and the ice raft went down the river, and encountered a group of silver carp on the way. Ye An exchanged the crushed beads, and used the fish to speed up. At dusk, he finally caught up with the warship ahead.
