Ye An

After a torrential downpour, the rainy season is officially declared.

The frozen river gradually melted, and a large number of ice cubes surged with the water and washed down from the upper reaches.

There are layers of silver light under the ice, which are fish trapped underwater for several months.

With the arrival of the rainy season, the residents in the river gradually revived.

In the delta, the snow has disappeared, replaced by rivers and streams flowing through it.

Pieces of lush green grass emerged from the scattered plots, most of which were just buds, a few had stems, and glistening water droplets hung on the slender leaves, which were bent one after another due to the unbearable weight.

In the dense forest, the trees grow new leaves, lush and lush, a lush scene.

The unique refreshing atmosphere permeates the forest, accompanied by the sound of rain, all kinds of mutant bacteria break through the soil layer, open the canopy in the rain, and drop down the fluffy mycelium, which is colorful and very gratifying.

The birds spread their wings among the branches, uttered cheerful calls, and combed their feathers with the rain.

The squirrel poked its head out of the tree hole, the long hairs on its ears swaying in the wind, a shadow suddenly fell over its head, and it immediately shrank back with a scream.

The golden eagle folded its wings and landed on the canopy where the squirrel lived, despising the other's cowardice.

The squirrel is too small for it to fit between its teeth, so the golden eagle doesn't even notice it.What's more, today's prey has been caught, which is a sub-adult wildebeest, enough to feed the young golden eagles that have not yet left the nest.

There was a rustling sound in the dense forest, it was army ants coming out of their nest in the rain.

The worker ants brought back information that a few flying ants appeared on the west side of the forest. According to experience, there must be a termite nest nearby.If it can be found, the army ant colony does not need to go out to find prey for at least half a month.

The army ants shake their antennae to pass information to each other, and the big soldier ants are in charge of guarding against the birds living in the forest and the newly arrived anteaters.The worker ants come out of the nest and roll forward along the road built by their companions. Looking down from above, it looks like a brown river flowing in the forest.

Several hares and gophers were looking for food nearby, and two badgers and a fox hid behind the grass, staring at the prey ahead, ready to attack at any time.

Suddenly, the crowing of chickens sounded, and the roosters with colorful feathers and the gray hens flapped their wings and flew out of a bush, scaring away the hares and gophers looking for food, and thwarting the predator's plan. empty.

The flying height of the chicks is average, almost moving forward against the grass.The stamina is not strong enough, and after a certain distance, they will fall to the ground one after another.

Led by the rooster, most of the chicks turned around and screamed angrily behind the bushes.

Behind the bushes, the sound of breaking wind sounded one after another, and powerful crossbow bolts flew out rapidly, none of them missed, and all of them were nailed into the chicken's neck.Go even further and nail them all to the ground.

After the prey fell to the ground, Camille and Ash stood up one after another, glanced at the hiding place of the fox and the badger, and made sure that there was no threat, then called Milo and Xiaozhu to come out, handed them a piece of rope, and taught them how to tie and handle it prey.

"Don't underestimate any mutant beasts. The claws of a young chicken are quite sharp. If you get caught, you will lose a piece of meat, and it's not easy to heal."

Camille explained patiently, Ash occasionally added, Milo and Xiaozhu listened carefully, and firmly remembered the experience they taught.

The children had just tied up the chicks when suddenly the howling of wolves and the barking of dogs came from the forest.

Camille signaled them to be quiet, brushed aside a piece of grass, put his ears on the ground, listened carefully for a moment, and said to them: "It should be adults, come with me."

Ash grabbed the tied chick and carried it easily on his shoulders.Camille put away his weapon, held Milo and Xiaozhu, and ran quickly in the forest.

On the other side of the dense forest, five strong buffaloes were surrounded.What they have to face is not only Ye An with a pack of dogs, but also the pack of wolves who came after hearing the sound, and the snow leopard hiding in the tree canopy.

Ye An stood beside the head dog, carefully observing the state of the buffalo, looking for a breakthrough.

Regardless of the small number of buffaloes, they are all young and strong bulls. They were driven out by the leader during the breeding season. They were full of anger and had nowhere to vent their anger. They were violent and dangerous.

The pack of dogs and wolves swam around the buffalo herd, making provocative gestures and roaring from time to time, but they were careful not to get too close, and kept keeping a distance.

Dealing with such dangerous prey, you will be injured if you are not careful.

The buffalo barked like a muffled drum amidst the barking of the dogs.

The sound scares away timid mutants and attracts more predators.Ye An clearly saw a mutated tiger appearing behind the grass. It was not a familiar female tiger, but it should be a male tiger who had just left its mother.

The buffalo scratched its hooves irritably, shook its dangerous horns, saliva flowed from its mouth, and its eyes began to turn red.

Ye An realized that he couldn't procrastinate any longer, so he decisively released his ability, and when the buffalo lost his mind for a while, he rushed forward.

Less than one meter away from the buffalo, Ye An clenched his fist with one hand and jumped more than two meters. With the sound of the wind, his fist hit the buffalo's fragile eyes hard.

The wounded buffalo let out a cry of pain, which was irritated and angry.

This is like a signal, the head wolf and the head dog raised their heads and howled, the members of the group staggered together, locked on the target separately, cooperated with each other, and quickly separated the remaining buffaloes, leaving wounds one after another in the bite .The wounds continued to pile up, and even if the vital parts were not bitten, the blood loss was enough to be fatal.

A buffalo rushed out of the pack of wolves and rushed towards the grass with scars all over its body.

The roar of the tiger resounded through the forest, and the muscular mutant tiger leaped out and pounced on the buffalo head-on. Its front paws popped out and grabbed the back of the buffalo's neck.

Seeing the right time, the snow leopard jumped down from the tree to help the male tiger overwhelm the buffalo.

The buffalo was already scarred and weakened due to blood loss. At this moment, it was bitten by two ferocious mutant beasts. It quickly lost the ability to resist and fell sideways on the ground. The rising and falling of its abdomen became weaker and weaker until it stopped breathing.

Ye An's speed is not inferior.

He did not use knives, bows and arrows, but only relied on a pair of fists to forcefully knock down his prey, demonstrating his absolute strength.

There are too many mutant beasts participating in the hunt, so he has to do this.

Only when he is strong enough, stronger than all the groups present, can he obtain the most lucrative prey, deter fierce and powerful predators, and ensure his absolute authority in the delta.At the same time, it can effectively reconcile contradictions and avoid unnecessary fights due to prey.

When Camille and Ash arrived, the hunt had already ended, and the mutant beasts that participated in the roundup were allotted their share and were feasting.

Ye An harvested a whole buffalo, patted the strong legs of the buffalo, and thought about how to eat the prey and how many meals he could eat.

In the market, the number of merchants was reduced by half, and the rest also took the time to sort out their goods and prepare to leave one after another.

Zhao Weng and Xiao Yun were not among them.

They will also stay on the isolated island for a while to discuss matters related to the mine and shipbuilding with Ye An.

Knowing that Ye An also had a plan to go to sea, Zhao Weng was very happy, the two hit it off and quickly finalized the cooperation.Xiao Yun's joining is not an accident.Given his relationship with Ye An, Zhao Weng would be surprised if he didn't participate.

The two were sitting in a tent, looking at a chart.This picture belongs to Zhao Weng, and it has been in his hands for more than 20 years. It also has a certain relationship with Haicheng, but it has never been used.

"Here, and here, are suitable ports."

Zhao Weng pointed at the chart and was talking to Xiao Yun when there was a sudden commotion outside the tent, and then someone came to report that the two teams that set off turned back midway, they encountered snapping turtles at the edge of the delta, and suffered heavy losses.

These two teams have a large number of people, and their guarding capabilities are very strong. The problem is that they encountered not one snapping turtle, but a group of them!None of them would be able to get away if the herd of giraffes and hippos did not happen to pass by.

"There are more than thirty snapping turtles!"

The messenger's face was pale, and he suppressed the severe pain to explain the situation.He has many scars on his body.The bright red blood kept spilling out, soaking through the cloth wrapped around the wound, which showed how serious the injury was.

thirty?

Zhao Weng and Xiao Yun looked at each other, and their expressions became serious in an instant.
