Ye An

Lily of the Valley showed Ye An her abilities.

A clean fruit core does not require soil, water, or sunlight. Only by injecting energy from her, sprouts will grow at a speed visible to the naked eye. They will grow to the length of the palm in a few breaths, and they will be twisted and twisted on the table. Legs, stretch out a few olive-shaped leaves.

The branches stopped growing when they climbed to the table. Under Ye An's curious gaze, they suddenly began to wither. The leaves curled up and dried up, and fell to the ground one by one. The plants turned from emerald green to withered yellow, losing all vitality.

Lily of the valley lay on the ground, her breathing became heavier and her face became paler.

This is already her limit.

Even if there is no injury or blood loss, with her ability, it is impossible for the plant to grow to maturity, and sooner or later it will wither, but the speed will be slightly slower.

"That's the only way?" Ye An looked at Lily of the Valley, not touching the withered branches.

"So, I'm the most useless mutant." Lily of the Valley laughed at herself.

In the initial period after the cataclysm, this power can also come in handy.

The climate changed drastically, and those who survived were caught off guard.The rainy and snowy seasons are tough, but the dry season is the most tormenting.Under the extremely high temperature, the rivers are cut off, the ground is cracked, and the seeds of plants are given birth. Even if it is just a bud, it is also an important source of water, which can save lives in times of crisis.

As people gradually acclimated to the environment, a large number of settlements began to appear, storage tanks and underground wells came into being, and water was no longer scarce, this ability became useless.

It's good that it can really produce mature heterophytes, but half of them will wither, and they won't survive if they are planted. It's really not very useful.

In addition to producing seeds, lily of the valley has a natural ability to recognize heterophytes.

"I can identify poisonous plants, and I can also separate the toxins inside." Lily of the Valley slowly turned sideways to make herself more comfortable. "With this ability, I became a pharmacist."

She has never seen a foreign plant before, but she can still identify whether it is poisonous and whether it can be used for medicine.This makes her faster and more handy than others in making medicine.

"Can you tell the difference between different plants and mushrooms?"

Thinking of the mushrooms and fungus he had seen before, Ye An suddenly became interested.

After the heavy rain, all kinds of mushrooms will always grow all over the mountains and plains.It's a pity that he doesn't know it, so he can only let it rot.Even if there were traces of bugs gnawing on it, Ye An didn't dare to try it lightly.It is easy to obtain but cannot be used as food. This feeling is not to mention uncomfortable.

"Yes." Ling Lan nodded and said, "No matter what it is, even if I haven't seen it before, I can still recognize it."

Seeing that her face was even paler, and her body was curled up because of hunger, Ye An didn't continue to ask, but pulled out the short knife on the table, cut a piece of bacon from the rope, cut it into slices and cooked it in the pot.

The fire in the hearth was very strong, the broth was boiling, and the aroma wafted in the room.Ye An sprinkled some salt into the pot, tested the saltiness, and scooped up a bowl full.

During the whole process, Lily of the Valley kept her eyes on the broth, swallowing unconsciously.

After escaping from the merchant city, all she ate was cold food and raw food. She smelled the aroma of cooked meat, and her hunger was even worse than before, with a dull pain in her stomach.

When the broth was ready to drink, Ye An walked up to Lily of the Valley with the bowl in his hand, without untying her rope, he just helped her to sit against the wall, took the spoon, and fed the broth into her mouth.

The broth was still a little hot, but Lily of the Valley didn't care at all, the food felt so good, she barely chewed it, and swallowed the bacon that was delivered to her mouth.

After eating a bowl of broth, Lily of the Valley's face was no longer pale, and a little blood was restored.Ye An didn't fill it any more, washed the bowl and put it back on the shelf, and said to Lily of the Valley: "You can stay here, I will give you animal skins to keep warm, and I will also give you food. In exchange, you have to do it for me. live."

"You saved my life, I must..."

"Don't rush to swear." Ye An interrupted Ling Lan, "You're not lying, but I still don't believe you. You're going to live in a cave, and if I find myself threatened, I'll drive you away or even kill you immediately." about you."

"I understand." Lily of the valley nodded.

Ye An's conditions were far better than she had imagined.

During the communication with Ye An, she found that Ye An lacked some common sense.She attributed this to Ye An's long-term wandering and not living in the city.In order to be safe, wanderers will deliberately avoid city dwellers and hunting teams.To allow them to take the initiative to approach the city residents, apart from the merchant city's fleet, there are only trade zones set up in free zones.

These trading areas are located between cities and are not under the jurisdiction of any city lord. Anyone can come to trade, but you must be extra careful. After all, this is a three-way zone, and robbery and fights are common.

Ye An wanted to ask a lot of things. Before that, he had been running for his life. His only goal was to survive. The few contacts he had with the same kind were quite bad. Naturally, he didn't have a way to understand common sense.

Now with lily of the valley, everything will be different.

For the next three days, Lily of the Valley was sent to the cave to recuperate. The food was delivered by Ye An. The rope on her body was untied, but ferrets took turns guarding the entrance of the cave.There are still a lot of centipedes around the cave, they didn't attack Lily of the valley, but they still frightened her.

On the fourth day, Ye An brought a box of medicine from the cave and handed it to Lily of the Valley to sort.Most of the boxes contained medicines for wounds, and to prove its credibility, Lily of the Valley picked out two bottles and used them on her own wounds in front of Ye An.

"These are common medicines for wounds and bites. There are very precious materials in these bottles, which can save lives. One bottle can be exchanged for a small merchant ship."

There was no special mark on the bottle, and through analyzing the ingredients of the medicine, Lily of the Valley was sure that the wound medicine came from the Merchant City, and might even come from Qiluo's fleet.Those ferrets confirmed her guess even more.Before the fleet left the city, there were rumors that the city lord had caught ferrets and was going to sell them for a high price.

Now that the Merchant City no longer exists, and the city lord is dead, it is meaningless to trace the origin of these medicines.Lily of the valley never mentioned her doubts, identified the ingredients of the wound medicine, and carefully explained the usage to Ye An.

Ye An has been paying attention to Lily of the Valley's reaction.Before bringing these medicines, he carefully considered them, and he was quite satisfied with the results.

"There are five kinds of alien animal bones in this bottle of medicine, and there are more than ten kinds of alien plants. Ordinary people can't bear it. Only mutants can use it."

"It's an antidote that dilutes many toxins."

"This is poison. It only needs to be the size of a fingernail to kill a mutant buffalo."

"This is an anesthetic, applied to weapons, it is very useful when hunting large mutant beasts."

Ye An moved three boxes one after another, and Lily of the Valley sorted them one by one, not only explaining the purpose of the medicine, but also pointing out the main ingredients.Ye An couldn't remember all of them, so he simply tore the cloth into strips, made records with charcoal strips, and tied them to the bottles respectively.

Lily of the Valley recovered quickly from her injuries. After she was allowed to move freely, she did not leave the area of ​​Yanshan. Except for sleeping and eating, she hardly let herself be free. Cut the animal hides, and use needles made of wild boar hair to sew clothes and bedding.

Her carving skills are also very good. She uses the wood piled in the corner to make many practical small things. The hourglass placed on the table to measure the time is one of her works.

As the evening approached, dark clouds gathered in the sky, but no rain fell for a long time.

Ye An returned home, hung two packed hares and a few mutated fish on the hooks, and temporarily put the peeled animal skins by the wall for disposal after eating.

Seeing his return, Ling Lan came to the front of the house from the cave, and handed the sewn coat to Ye An.

"These keep you warm."

Ye An took the coat and handed a rabbit to Ling Lan, who nodded to him, and quickly returned to the residence with a torch.

The cave she lived in used to be a bird's nest, she built a bed out of wooden boards, and dug a hearth, so she could light a fire and cook by herself, without Ye An sending her any more.

This way of getting along makes both of them feel at ease.

After Ling Lan left, Ye An lit a lantern in the house, cooked a pot of broth and ate it, hot sweat soon broke out on his forehead.When the sweat was almost gone and the animal skins were processed, Ye An carefully locked the doors and windows, planning to get a good night's sleep and set off early tomorrow to look for prey in the east of the isolated island.

"Sleep and get up early tomorrow."

He is no longer alone on the isolated island, Ye An is still used to talking to himself.

Ye An lay on the bed, pulled the quilt up to his neck, in a daze, felt a ball of warmth slipping into his arms, grabbed it out and shook it, and heard a scream, it turned out to be a ferret.

Ye An shunned the ferret's back, hugged the warm hair ball, yawned and closed his eyes.

Inside the cave, Lily of the Valley ate a whole pot of rabbit meat, and was about to pack up the bones, grabbed the hare's leg bone, remembered the xenoplantation found on the rock wall, and stopped suddenly.

"Should we do it?"

Ye An did take her in, but she was still uneasy.

How to do?

Are you really going to make this medicine?

She couldn't make up her mind, so she sat by the hearth for a long time holding the bone of the hare's leg.

Yanxin made a crackling sound, and the night wind mixed with cold rain drifted into the cave, Lily of the Valley woke up suddenly, Ye An's dark eyes flashed in her mind, as if she had been scalded, she threw the hare's leg bones far away, feeling that it was not enough , grabbed the stone and smashed it to pieces, and threw it all along the rock wall, submerged in the falling rain.

In Hunter City, not long after the convoy returned, Jason received an order from the city lord to call out the city again as soon as the pharmacist was settled.

"The trading area has been buying mutant wolves. The rainy season won't last long. The herd of deer will migrate back, and it's time for the wolves to come back." Xiao Yun leaned on the chair, crossed his legs, and said to Jason with his arms folded, " Bring enough people, wait for the water level to drop, walk from the road to Frog Island, and just go to the island to have a look.”

"Yes!"

After Jason left, Xiao Yun turned the back of the chair and looked at the gray sky outside the window.

The dark clouds hadn't dissipated yet, but the rain hadn't arrived for a long time. A few beams of sunlight leaked through the gaps in the clouds and fell in a ring, covering the Colosseum in the center of Hunter City.

In the arena, three shirtless, burly men like rocks were wrestling with a brown bear with their bare hands.The fist was comparable to a heavy hammer, and it was smashed down with terrifying force. The mutant bear was thrown to the ground and roared repeatedly.

Hunters gathered around the field, stepping on the railings one by one, whistling and laughing wantonly: "Black, kill it!"

"Jack, are you a bitch?!"

The drumming of the hunters was like boiling water. A strong man with a beard was roaring vigorously when a sharp dagger was held against his throat. A cold voice rang in his ears, making him break out in cold sweat: "Iron Ax , what were you talking about, girl?"

The iron ax didn't dare to let out the air, and leaned back as much as possible, but the blade followed him like a shadow, cutting a bloody hole on his neck, Rose still didn't intend to stop.

"Gao Rose, the city lord ordered that the manpower be gathered to go hunting out of the city!"

Jason's arrival saved Iron Axe, Rose put away the dagger with a cold snort, and the hunters around were also attracted, and when they learned that Xiao Yun was going to hunt the mutant wolf, whistles and cheers rang out.

No one paid any attention to the gladiatorial fights in the arena, and the animal pens were instantly emptied.

The three strong men in the arena picked up axes and hammers on the ground and smashed the brown bear's head and chest.After confirming that the brown bear was dead, he handed over the body to the manager of the Colosseum. He jumped out of the fence with his weapon in his hand, and ran towards Jason who was surrounded by the crowd. Flatten your bald head!"
