Ye An

The otter family is busy building a nest.

Adult otters climbed up the river bank, gnawed off tree trunks of appropriate thickness, and dragged them back into the river one by one.Young otters help chew off branches and drag the logs to the bottom of the river, where they are stacked on pedestals made of stone and mud.

The river was very cold, and the machines were roaring by the river, but it still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the otter family.

They have been wandering for too long and urgently need a home of their own.

No matter the adult otter or the young otter, they are full of energy, busy from morning till night.Occasionally stop to catch river shells and mutant snails, and continue working after filling our stomachs.

With the efforts of the three otters, the wooden nest gradually took shape, with the edges extending towards the river bank and the middle protruding from the water, like a quadrangular tower.

The trees on the bank were screened two or three times, leaving stumps of different sizes.The fracture was covered with fresh snow, which solidified in the cold wind with a unique smell.

Ye An jumped off the bird's back, accidentally slipped on the ground, and grabbed the tree stump bitten off by the otter to avoid falling.

The birds hovered over the river bank, making crisp calls, suppressing the roar of the machine when it was running.

A family of otters was hunting at the bottom of the river. Hearing the sound of birds, each of them emerged from the water holding a river shell.

Judging from the diameter of the river shell, it is almost comparable to half the body of an otter. The growth time must not be short, and the shell is quite strong.It was carried out of the water by the otter and hit on wood and stones, making a dull sound.

Discovering that it was Ye An, the otters relaxed their vigilance and continued to fight against the shells.

Finally, the hard shells were smashed to reveal fresh shellfish.The adult otters tore out the meat and handed it to the young otters who could not break the prey, took the still tightly closed shellfish, and continued to work in front of the stone.

Ye An didn't interrupt them, and waited patiently by the river.After standing still, he found that there was something strange about a stone, and he opened it casually, and found a frozen crab underneath.

It was strange for crabs to appear on the banks of the river in such weather.

Ye An picked up a crab leg and saw that the crab's eyes could still move, but the body couldn't move as it was completely sealed by the thin ice.

After the otter family finished eating the river shells, they looked longingly at the crab in Ye An's hand.

In the cold snow season, crabs will hide, not to mention the big ones in Ye An's hands, even the small ones are hard to find.

Sensing the otter's thinking, Ye An took half a step forward, squatted down, and handed the crab to the otter.

The otter family and Ye An were already familiar with each other, so they took the crab back into the water without being polite to him, and quickly smashed the crab into pieces, and each otter got a share.

"I'm here this time to discuss something with you."

After the otters ate their stomachs and began to groom their fur in the water, and the young otters rolled around lively, Ye An informed them of the purpose of the trip.

Otters are very smart, and they can capture important information without Ye An's repeated explanation.

hippo?

The three otters looked at each other, and they didn't have much of a good impression of the hippo.Although the opponent will not attack them, they will destroy their nests while eating moss, which makes them quite annoyed.

Before encountering a herd of hippos, they tried their best to avoid getting rid of them.Unexpectedly, this group of guys actually chased Delta.

Otters don't want to be neighbors with hippos, the giants will destroy their homes.

Sensing the otter's emotions, Ye An proposed a compromise plan that could meet the hippo's needs without embarrassing the otter.Most importantly, don't let their nests be destroyed.

The otter approached the shore, trying to understand what Ye An meant.

Ye An was very patient, and he passed detailed information to the otters, and with his actions, he quickly made the otters understand what he meant, and promised that he would never let the hippos disturb them, and would also give them generous rewards and compensations.

Otter agreed.

An adult otter dived back into the water, and after a while, dragged out a tree trunk that was more than two meters long and as thick as Ye An's wrist.

The bark was soaked in water, and it seemed that it had been soaked under water for a long time.Both ends of the trunk are covered with emerald green moss, which is the nutrition that the mother hippo needs urgently.

Ye An tried to lift the trunk, and found that the water-soaked wood was very heavy, no less than a stone of the same volume.The otter dragged it very easily, even biting off a piece from the ice, motioning Ye An to stand on it, intending to push Ye An down the river to where the hippopotamus was.

The flock of birds chirped, very dissatisfied that the otters took away their jobs.

Ye An crushed two spar stones and threw them to calm down the irritable birds.

When Ye An stepped on the ice, the otter family moved together, with one otter dragging the wood, and the other two pushing the ice to swim forward.

Ye An stood on the ice and felt the oncoming wind. Compared with taking a boat, the feeling was more novel.

On the way, several mutated wolves chased a sika deer and ran across the river bank. They found Ye An on the ice, but did not see the otters in the river. They thought he was in danger and wanted to give up hunting and jump into the water.

Ye An immediately waved to them, indicating that he was fine, and pointed to the otters in the river, telling them to bring a message to the wolves, not to treat this family as prey.

In the lower reaches of the river, a herd of hippos was trapped in the ice. After several attempts, they couldn't get out of the trap, so they had to give up temporarily and circle around violently surrounded by the ice wall.

Xiao Yun stood in the middle of the river, strengthening the ice layer from time to time.

The hunters gathered on the river bank and saw the eaten hippo skeleton floating on the surface of the water. They planned to pick it up with a rope hook, remove it, and do some processing, which would be of great use.

Suddenly, the hippos in the ice wall stopped and all looked in the same direction.

Feeling something, Xiao Yun turned around and saw Ye An walking quickly along the frozen river and ice bridge stepping off a piece of broken ice.

Behind him are three chubby otters, one of which is dragging a two-meter-long log covered in moss that attracts hippos.

Coming closer, Ye An signaled to Xiao Yun to make a hole above the ice wall, then he picked up the wood brought by the otter, chopped it into several pieces with a knife, and threw it in from outside the wall.

There was a commotion in the hippo group, and several female hippos almost fought over the moss.

Ye An activated his ability, and the spar in his hand quickly turned into powder, and with the crumbs flowing out from between his fingers, his will was drawn into a thread, going deep into the ice wall, and assimilating the entire group of hippos at the same time.

The hippos stopped their movements, and their irritable emotions were appeased. They turned around one after another and locked onto Ye An who was standing on the ice bridge.

Ye An jumped down from a high place, crossed the frozen ice, and stood in front of the hippopotamus.His eyes swept over all the hippos and passed on his plan to each other.

The hippos did not respond for a long time, and Ye An was not in a hurry, but waited patiently, occasionally repeating his conditions, waiting for the other party's answer.

Finally, the herd of hippos separated to two sides, and a strong male hippopotamus and several pregnant female hippopotamuses came out and stopped on the opposite side of the ice wall, conveying positive emotions to Ye An.

"It's done."

After confirming that the leader of the hippopotamus was on the opposite side, Ye An immediately snapped his fingers, smiled and waved to Xiao Yun, telling him not to reinforce the ice wall.

The ice was no longer thickening, and the hippos began to pound hard.

One, two, three.

The ice wall came crashing down.

The hippopotamus did not rush out violently, but waited in place until Ye An approached, patted the hippo leader's head, and jumped onto his back. Then the hippopotamus seemed to start a switch, and they collectively went upstream, continuously Break through the ice and swim towards the isolated island.

Xiao Yun returned to the modified car, motioned for the hunters to get on the car, and set off with Ye An.

Seeing the herd of hippos crushing the river, Ye An sat on the back of the hippos steadily, and picked up a few otters on the way. Even if the hunters knew Ye An's ability, they couldn't help being amazed at this moment.

Lord Ye's strength always refreshes their cognition again and again, no wonder...

Halfway through the thought, Jason's back suddenly felt cold, he turned around and met Xiao Yun's cold gaze, he hurriedly restrained his thoughts, straightened his expression, and didn't dare to think about it.
