Ye An

Chapter 278 Arriving at Three Deltas

After parting from the finless porpoise, the warship sailed all the way east, stopping briefly at a highland on the way, and encountered a large group of migrating wildebeest.

The mutant wildebeest is very strong, with a pair of curved horns on the top of its head. It travels eastward at the end of the rainy season, looking for more lush pastures.

When the dry season came, the temperature rose sharply, and under the scorching sun, large areas of mutated plants would die.In order to ensure the survival of the group and prevent the mass death of newborn cubs, wildebeest groups must constantly migrate in search of sufficient food and water sources.

Unlike the wildebeest in Ye An's memory, this group has no fixed migration route, and they will go wherever there is water and food.

Mutation evolution gave them the ability to track down precipitation.Even if it is several kilometers apart, even in the dry season, an experienced leader will judge which direction to find food and lead the group to keep moving.

Judging from the direction in which the wildebeest migrated, their destination is likely to be the delta.

For Ye An, this matter has advantages and disadvantages.

It is beneficial for large herds of wildebeest to enter the delta, which can provide a large amount of food for the mutant animals living on the isolated island and nearby, and they can also take the opportunity to stockpile supplies to prepare for the snow season.

The downside is that wildebeest herds number more than [-] and flood into the delta at the same time, causing unimaginable damage to vegetation.

Ye An stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the herd of wildebeest in the distance.

Under the leadership of the leader, this group of big guys occupied the high ground and drove away the antelope herd that originally lived there.The bull wildebeest is responsible for guarding, and the female wildebeest leads the calf to feast.

Most of the calves are born in the rainy season, and most of them have been weaned. They can migrate with the group and feed on grass and leaves.

Wildebeest herds will not let go of small animals that rush out of the grasslands and forests.

There are very few mutated animals that don't eat meat, and the bee colony on the isolated island can be regarded as unique.However, this group of little guys is quite difficult to provoke. Once they are provoked, the swarming worker bees will make the provocateur regret coming to this world.

A wave of water surged in, causing the ship to shake slightly.

Ye An pressed the side of the boat, not affected by the turbulence at all, and never left his gaze from the wildebeest herd. From a distance, he tried to lock on to the leader of the herd, ready to assimilate.

Before he could lock on the target, the wildebeest herd suddenly became chaotic.

The guard bulls lined up in a long line, guarding the cows and calves behind them, swinging their horns above their heads, staring nervously at the swirling water.

Ye An was curious, and signaled Zijing to turn the sails and lower the speed, trying to see what had alarmed the wildebeest.

A large vortex appeared, and the waves on the river surged. Under the vigilant eyes of the wildebeest, huge black shadows broke through the water one by one.

After the black shadow came out of the water, it swung its powerful neck and let out a thunderous cry.

The herd of wildebeest did not dare to stand up to the enemy, and retreated quickly in a panic. In the process, a stampede occurred, and several young wildebeest and two injured old wildebeest were abandoned behind them.

It was a herd of buffaloes that drove the wildebeest away.

The buffalo is more than three meters long, with stubby hair on its back and huge horns on top of its head.The limbs are thick, and the hooves are even more astonishingly large. When stepping on high ground, they can sink several inches with every step.

The wildebeest cub tried to get up and run away, trying again and again, but was still desperately surrounded by buffalo herds.

The mutant buffalo, like the wildebeest, not only eats plants, but also hunts mutant animals when necessary.

The fate of the baby wildebeest seems sealed.

However, a miraculous scene happened in the next moment.

The buffalo herd killed the abandoned old wildebeest, but spared the young wildebeest.A male buffalo showed the intention to attack and was immediately besieged by several female buffaloes.

The female buffalo is smaller than the male buffalo in size, but has almost the same strength.Several of them rushed up together, but the male buffalo was powerless to fight back, and retreated again and again, and was finally forced back into the water.

Most of the body sank underwater, and the male buffalo made a gesture of peace to the female buffalo, and the matter was declared over.

The female buffalo rescued the calves and ignored them.

The buffalo herd devoured the old wildebeest, gnawed away the green grass on the high ground, returned to the river one after another, sank under the water, and continued along the direction in which the wildebeest escaped.

"Let's go by."

When the buffalo herd left, Ye An ordered the warship to approach the high ground, let Zijing and others stay on board, landed along the rope, found the calves lying on the ground, checked their conditions, and brought them back to the boat one by one.

The wildebeest has just been weaned, and if it grows up, it will not be abandoned by the wildebeest herd.

But assumptions can only be assumptions, they can't keep up with the speed of adult wildebeest, one of their hind legs was injured, and it was already a great luck not to be killed by the buffalo herd, and they wanted to return to the herd with their own strength, It is completely impossible.

Ye An carried the little wildebeest on his shoulders and motioned for the people on the boat to pull the rope.

During the process, the little wildebeest behaved very well-behaved, and even gave Ye An a favor with his head, looking very affectionate.

Ye An turned over the side of the boat, put the little wildebeest on the deck, warned the black python and squirrels not to attack the little guy, then went to the highland again, and brought all the little wildebeests that stayed there onto the boat.

Clouds began to gather in the sky, signaling that a rain was coming.

Ye An sped up his movements, brought the last calves onto the boat, and signaled Bauhinia to set off.

There were a total of six rescued wildebeest, one of which was injured in its hind leg and staggered when walking. Ye An sent it to the cabin and separated it from other animals on the boat.The other five were alive and kicking, and after being assimilated by Ye An, they circled around him all day long, acting very attached.

The black python dozed off on the mast.

As long as there is no shortage of food, it is willing to obey Ye An's order and not to attack these little wildebeest.A baby wildebeest does not interest it more than a plump river fish.

The homing pigeon and the squirrel stood together, very dissatisfied with the behavior of the little wildebeest surrounding Ye An.Especially the squirrel, when the wildebeest rubbed against Ye An's leg again, it couldn't bear it any longer, and jumped onto the wildebeest's head with a loud cry. Instead of showing its claws, it stomped the wildebeest several times with its hind feet.

The weight of the squirrel is too light, even if the wildebeest is still a cub, such an attack cannot harm them, it is more like playing.

The little wildebeest shook its head, thinking that the squirrel was playing with itself, and ran and jumped on the deck with the squirrel on its head, causing the squirrel to scream angrily.

Ye An was amused and didn't step forward to stop him.It wasn't until the squirrel was about to get angry that he stopped the little wildebeest, grabbed the squirrel and put it on his shoulder.

The squirrel was very aggrieved, hugging its little paws and curled up into a ball. It took Ye An more than ten minutes to calm it down.

The homing pigeon family stood on a high place, seeing the squirrels looking triumphant, combing each other's feathers, and didn't intend to give each other half a look.

The raccoon cat is patrolling the deck with the kitten. The kitten is in a playful and active period, curiously chasing the calves and honing their hunting skills while playing.

With the size of a kitten, it is impossible to knock down a baby wildebeest.In the same way, the wildebeest cannot keep up with the agility of the kitten and cannot hurt the other party.

The female cat didn't stop her, she lay on her side and licked her paws.

Ye An looked at the big raccoon cat with its shiny fur and smooth water, and endured it for a while, but he couldn't hold it back. He squatted beside the raccoon cat, and stretched out his hand to pinch its paw.

The mother cat looked up at Ye An, but instead of grabbing him, she got up and jumped into Ye An's arms, beckoning to Shunmao.

The word "happiness" fell from the sky, and Ye An was almost knocked out, his whole body seemed to be stepping on a cloud, and the corners of his mouth could not control his upturning.

Bauhinia and the injured Zhizi looked at each other in blank dismay, not understanding why Ye An liked mutant cats so much.To them, apart from being smaller in size, the mutated cat was an out-and-out fierce beast, with a ferocious temperament and strong attack power.Very difficult to deal with.

The children walked out of the cabin, saw the bustling scene on the deck, and saw the raccoon cat lying in Ye An's arms, purring comfortably, with curious expressions.

There is no need to overhaul the ship today, and John is in charge of looking after the children.

Seeing the children's expressions, Uncle Qiang had no choice but to put on a serious face, and warned them that the raccoon cat was a dangerous mutant beast with extremely sharp claws, which could easily kill them.

"Your Excellency can let the mutant beasts get close to them, but other people can't, understand?"

A gust of wind blew across the deck, but instead of cooling, it brought heat.

The cihuamao jumped out of Ye An's arms, stopped the Sahuan kitten, bit the back of the kitten's neck, and took it to the side of the boat to clean its hair.

Ye An was in a good mood, stretching his waist against the wind.

The closer to the delta, the faster the water level drops, and warships cannot cross the tributaries and can only follow the deeper river channels, otherwise they are likely to be trapped.

In the hot wind, a drizzle arrived as expected.

The rain is implicated into threads, and the water threads are interwoven into transparent yarns, which drift away like smoke.

The warship sailed into the delta along the river, and the majestic lion's roar came from my ears.

Ye An stood at the bow of the boat and looked up. In the misty rain, the isolated island was already clearly visible.
