Ye An

The dead hippo sank slowly, and the bright red blood spread in the water, attracting large groups of mutated fish and water bugs with long fingers.

In a short time, the dead hippopotamus was surrounded, and the water seemed to be boiling, with large splashes of water splashing.The river water quickly became turbid, mixed with pieces of meat torn apart by the fish, attracting water bugs to compete.

As mutant snails and shellfish appeared one after another at the bottom of the river, the water became more and more lively.

With the dead hippopotamus as the center, the water waves swayed in a ring, one after another, making it impossible for other hippopotamuses to approach.The broken ice sheets were pushed away and collided with each other near the river bank, piled up and crowded into hills.

The group of hippos began to retreat, instead of rampaging, they took the initiative to distance themselves from Xiao Yun, relying on the strength of the group to intimidate their opponents.

Ye An got off the sled, motioned for Lily of the Valley to stay where she was, stepped onto the ice alone, and waved to Xiao Yun.

An ice bridge descended from the sky, and its front end plunged into the water, causing the water to vibrate.

Ye An skillfully climbed up the ice bridge, and with the help of the icicles protruding on both sides of the bridge, he met Xiao Yun smoothly.

Standing on a high place, overlooking the whole group of hippos, Ye An couldn't help frowning when he sensed the emotions of the hippos at the moment.

Pressing Xiao Yun's shoulder to signal him to slow down, Ye An's eyes wandered among the hippopotamus, and quickly locked on a few male and female hippopotamuses that seemed to be the leaders, urging their abilities to assimilate.

The hippopotamus is huge, has a bad temper, and is extremely aggressive, but he has no resistance to Ye An's assimilation.Not to mention the birds of prey that Ye An encountered in the canyon before, even ordinary gophers and hares would not be so easy.

Ye An was surprised, and didn't spend much time thinking about it. He quickly searched the memory of the hippopotamus, and quickly found the reason why they entered the delta.

The hippopotamus left their original territory and moved into the delta in large numbers, mainly for food!

The hippopotamus is surprisingly large and still eats plants after mutation.The group goes ashore at a fixed time every day to eat the grass, berries and fresh leaves and branches in the territory.

They also eat meat occasionally, mostly small underwater creatures.The only large mutant beasts listed on their diet are the mutant crocodiles that compete for territory.

In addition, hippos are also very fond of several mutant aquatic plants, especially the aquatic moss that grows on specific wood, which always makes them fond of it.This kind of moss is not only delicious, but also can promote the secretion of milk by the female hippopotamus, which is an essential nutrient for the growth of the young hippopotamus.

For this reason, hippo herds can be found almost anywhere otters can be found.Unless the water area is too small for the huge size of the hippopotamus.

It's just that this kind of moss has extremely high requirements on the growth environment, and most of them grow near the nests built by otters.

Otter saliva is an essential catalyst for moss growth.Don't go to this condition, even if it is the same wood and the same water, it is impossible for moss to grow.

Not long ago, the hippo's habitat was invaded by a large group of water birds. These birds have special feeding habits and often attack young otters. They will also dismantle the part of the otter's nest that is exposed to the water and use it to build its own nest.

The otters in the river couldn't bear it any longer and clashed with the flock of birds. As a result, all members were slaughtered and none remained.

The hippopotamus broke through the ice and arrived, leaving only empty nests, and scattered fur and bones in the water.

Although they are furious, there is nothing they can do with the flying birds.

To make matters worse, a large number of hippo calves will be born in the next two or three months. In order to obtain sufficient moss, they must migrate to find another group of otters.

Before leaving, the vengeful hippopotamus came ashore, letting the waterfowl cover the sky, relying on their strong body to block the attack, rampaging at the nesting place of the birds, stomping on them wantonly, crushing most of the eggs and newly hatched chicks , before returning to the water swaggeringly, following the leader to start the migration path.

Finding the source of the hippo migration, Ye An raised his hand and squeezed the center of his eyebrows. Thinking of the otter family who settled in the mine, he finally understood the reason for the sudden appearance of this group of hippos.

"Have you found anything?" Xiao Yun asked.

"I think they are for otters." Ye An said.

"Otter?"

"Yes."

Ye An further activated his abilities, controlled the group of hippos, suppressed the most anxious ones, and continued to dig deep into the hippos' memories.

As he thought, during the migration, the hippos found the otter family and followed them in groups.It's just that the otter family didn't seem to welcome them, and they used their agility and speed to get rid of them for a while.It was not caught up until near the delta.

The hippopotamus chased the otters into the delta, but found no crocodiles or anacondas that could pose a threat. The domineering behemoth began to announce its arrival and decided to occupy the entire water area as the territory of the group.

This unilateral declaration is undoubtedly a provocation.

From the perspective of the hippos, no matter who the waters of the delta originally belonged to, they will belong to them from this moment on.

Unfortunately, just as they showed their domineering side and were about to dominate the delta, they kicked the iron plate.

The young and energetic male hippopotamus originally wanted to tear Xiao Yun apart to establish his prestige, and then compete for the breeding rights and the position of the leader of the group.I don't want the other party to be more vicious than it, to take its life away in a single encounter, without even a chance to struggle.

Because of the death of their companions, the group of hippos began to hesitate.But the situation forced them to find another group of otters in a short period of time, except for the otters that moved into the delta.

Baby hippos will be born one after another, there is no more time left for them.This makes the hippo group more irritable and may attack again at any time.

In contrast, the death of young male hippos did not cause much hatred except to let them know how powerful their opponents were.

Every breeding season and when the leader changes, a large number of male hippopotamuses will be seriously injured or even die.This number peaks a month after the baby hippo is born.

The hippos are more concerned about whether they can stay, whether they can ensure the survival of the group's young.

After capturing this point, Ye An quickly had an idea.

"Do me a favor." Ye An approached Xiao Yun, and said his plan in a few words.

"Are you sure you can do it?" Xiao Yun turned his head to meet Ye An's gaze, the distance between the two was extremely close, as long as he lowered his head a little, he could brush the tip of Ye An's nose.

"How do you know if you don't try it?" Ye An smiled, recalling the scene he saw just now, he couldn't hold back, and raised his head to peck Xiao Yun's lips.

"Ok."

Xiao Yun nodded, turned against the guest, and bit Ye An's lower lip.

The cold wind swept across the river, the water roared, and ice walls up to half a meter thick rose from all sides, surrounding the hippos.

Trapped, the hippopotamus instantly became irritable and began to attack the ice wall.

Xiao Yun put one arm around Ye An's waist, turned his head to cover his lips, and clenched his hands tightly. The cold wind swirled around the two of them, crossed the river, and wrapped around the ice wall. The crack hit by the hippo closed instantly. .

"I have to hurry up." Ye An grabbed Xiao Yun's hair and opened the distance between them.Before Xiao Yun could make a sound, he quickly bit his chin, and immediately whistled.

The mutated dog stayed where it was, and a large group of red birds appeared in the air, and after flying close, they lowered their altitude.

Ye An held Xiao Yun's shoulders and jumped up.

The flock of birds supported him and flew into the air, speeding up halfway, and flew towards the waters of the mine where the otter made his home.

Watching Ye An's back disappear, Ling Lan stepped off the sleigh, nodded to Xiao Yun in the river, then turned around, and walked towards Zijing and the others who were stunned by the scene just now.

After exchanging names and knowing each other's identities, Suzuran stepped on the sled again and took them to the isolated island.

Looking at the sled in front of her and thinking of the scenes she saw before, Bauhinia was both shocked and amazed.It seems that this isolated island lord is far stronger and more difficult than she imagined.
