Ye An

The distance between the two sides was about ten steps, and the men took the initiative to stop.

Probably because they had heard the rumors about Ye An and recognized him as the owner of Delta, the leader put down the animal skin bag, ordered everyone to stay where they were, and walked towards Ye An alone.

As the distance got closer, Ye An found that these people were taller and stronger than they looked from a distance. They were all close to two meters tall by visual inspection, and they were wrapped in thick coats, like hills.If you really meet a black bear, it's hard to say who is stronger.

The leader was a man with a big beard.A brown-black beard tangled up his face, covering even his nose.There are two thick eyebrows on the eyes, and it is difficult to see the face clearly. It is difficult to guess the age for a while.

As the leader approached, the mutated dog seemed to have encountered a wild beast, lowered its body as much as possible, and let out a low growl. As long as Ye An gave the order, it would immediately rush forward and tear the man to pieces.

Ye An jumped off the sled, jumped over the mutated dogs that were threatening, stood beside the head dog, held down its neck, and calmed the dogs.

Seeing this situation, the team leader immediately stopped, pulled off the animal skin wrapped around his head, and scratched his beard twice, exposing his red nose from the cold, trying to make himself look more friendly, although the effect was not great.

"Excuse me, is this Lord Ye?" the man said, his voice a little cramped.

"You know me?" Ye An looked at the man strangely.

During this period of time, he met many homeless people and settlers, and met all kinds of people. This was the first time that a man with such a tough appearance, but a genuinely simple and honest temperament, was like a man.If he hadn't been able to sense the man's emotions and thinking, Ye An would probably have been intimidated by the man's appearance, and immediately became wary.

"I've heard about you from passing caravans."

The team leader didn't hide anything. Ye An didn't need to ask, just poured beans out of a bamboo tube, and explained his origin clearly.Although there is the influence of Ye An's supernatural ability, the root of it has a lot to do with the purpose of their trip.

The men live in a settlement not far from the Delta.

Due to the special geographical location, it is located in a mountain depression, surrounded by dense trees and scattered hills, unless you are familiar with the road, otherwise, this settlement is difficult for outsiders to find.

There are not many people in the settlement, and with the addition of children who cannot hunt and elderly people who cannot move freely, the number of people in the settlement does not exceed one hundred.

They rely on hunting and gathering for a living, and their main prey are mutated black bears and some types of small animals.When the snow season comes, men will form groups to look for brown bears, hunt them down and store them as rations when the mountains are closed by heavy snow.

This year is different from the past, the prey in the forest has decreased in large numbers, especially the cubs and tigers have grown up, the lions and mutant tigers have expanded their hunting range, and the brown bears and black bears living near the settlements have either been hunted or found other habitats. As a result, they cannot catch enough prey.If you don't think of a way, the elderly and children in the settlement may starve to death.

Occasionally, a caravan passed by, and they would exchange the accumulated hides and bones for food, but this was not a long-term solution.

More importantly, in order to gain a strong body, the children in the settlement must eat bear meat.

In view of the unique living and eating habits, the physique of these people has evolved, which is incomparable with mutants, but in terms of strength, they are no longer on the same level as ordinary people.

This is also the reason why such a small settlement can exist surrounded by herds of beasts and has not been destroyed for a long time.

They knew instinctively that if they wanted to keep their bloodlines alive, they had to obtain the flesh and blood of powerful mutant beasts.

Now that they are in trouble, they have no choice but to walk out of the mountain depression and head to the delta where Ye An is, hoping to find a way from here.If it doesn't work, you can also exchange food from the trade area, at least cheaper than the passing caravan, and it can support them to survive the snow season and wait until the rainy season comes.

After listening to the team leader's narration and confirming that he was not lying at all, Ye An was amazed at the straightforwardness and sincerity of these people.

In the wasteland, such straightforwardness is already very rare.

"I can take you to the trade area. There are many types of food in exchange, and the price is not too expensive." After Ye An knew the origin and experience of these people, he decided to help them.

In the final analysis, the appearance of lions and mutant tigers in the Delta is all about him.The mutant bears that the settlements rely on for their livelihood have decreased in large numbers or even disappeared. More or less, he has to bear some responsibility.

Patting the mutant dog's neck, Ye An turned around and boarded the sled, preparing to end today's patrol and bring the group back to the isolated island.

Passing by the frozen river section, and startled away a group of snow rabbits looking for food, Ye An's heart suddenly moved, and his eyes turned to men who were stronger than the other, but also simple and honest, and couldn't perceive any flamboyant men. The idea of ​​cooperation emerged in his mind .

How to do it, he has no charter yet.

However, if you can really attract each other, it will be good for each other.The people in the settlement no longer need to worry about food, and they have enough help for their next plan.

The mutated dogs galloped through the snow and encountered a group of lions returning from hunting.

Ye An took a glance and found that the prey of the lions today was a black bear. Thinking of what the men said just now, he felt a little embarrassed.

The men didn't pay attention to Ye An's reaction. Seeing the lions walking through the snow, the strongest lioness put down her prey and ran close to Ye An, acting like a spoiled child to her relatives. The rumors they heard before contacting were all Zhang Da Mouth and eyes stared like copper bells.

The lioness rubbed against Ye An's legs and waist, unwilling to leave for a long time.

Ye An had no choice but to grab the neck and chin of the lioness under the aggrieved gaze of the lion, took out the spar from his pocket, and exchanged two bear legs with the lioness.

The lioness was very happy, and drove away the cubs that were biting the prey. Together with her sisters, they almost tore off half of the black bear's body and dragged it all the way to Ye An.

"Thanks." Ye An took out two spar stones, crushed them and fed them to the little lion who followed his mother.

The lioness does not feel disadvantaged.

The delta is rich in resources, and with the power of lions, prey is easily available.Crystal stones are very rare, and there is no other way to obtain them except from Ye An.

The lions left with the spar and their prey. Ye An pointed to the black bear on the ground, and asked the men, "Should I change it?"

The team leader reacted the fastest. Hearing Ye An's words, he immediately nodded and said, "Change!"

When the words fell, he had to untie the animal skin bag on his back.

"No rush, go back to the isolated island and settle down first, business can be negotiated slowly." Ye An stopped the leader, looked at the sky, had a premonition that there would be a heavy snowfall, and decided to return to the isolated island as soon as possible without delay.

The two sides reached an agreement, Ye An led the way ahead, the men fastened their coats, checked the ropes on the animal skin bags, leaned forward, followed the sled with agility and flexibility that was very different from their bodies, and rushed towards the isolated island.
