Ye An

In the evening, the rain gradually decreased. Jason and others stepped out of the modified car, picked up tools, and dug ditches around the temporary camp to drain the muddy water so that the tent could be pitched.

Since Ye An and Xiao Yun entered the Earth Fissure, a long time passed without any news.

Hunters are worried, but there is no good solution.He could only follow Xiao Yun's previous instructions to build the camp first, carefully inspect the surroundings, and beware of any accidents.

Suddenly, a flock of birds perched on the rocky mountain flapped their wings and flew out, forming red clouds in the sky, circling above the ground fissure, and uttering crisp calls.

The strangeness of the flock of birds caught the attention of the hunters.

Except for the team patrolling the surroundings together, everyone who stayed in the camp put down what they were doing and ran towards the direction where the birds gathered.

Previous experience told them that these birds had a deep connection with Ye An, and their sudden gathering was likely to be Ye An and Xiao Yun returning from the ground.

Sure enough, amidst the chirping of the birds, there was movement under the crack of the ground.

At first it was not real, the rustling was covered by the sound of wind and rain.As time passed, the sound became clearer and clearer, as if there were countless small beasts climbing along the rock wall, their sharp claws grabbing into the stone, making harsh sounds in their actions.

"Come here!"

Jason was the first to rush to the edge of the fissure, holding a torch and looking down. Seeing Ye An and Xiao Yun who were being chased by gophers, he immediately waved to his companions to signal them to move faster.

"Bring the rope, and the torches!"

Amid Jason's roar, the hunters moved quickly, wrapped the rope around a modified car nearby, tied the other end into a knot, and threw it to Ye An and Xiao Yun one after another.

The swarm of gophers were chasing after them, with blood-red eyes and gray-black fur, they ran on the dark rock wall, looking extremely ferocious.

Ye An grabbed the rope and quickly wrapped it around his waist.Xiao Yun's movements were not at all slower than his, and while he was tightening the rope, a cold wind was gathered, and the gophers that rushed over from the rock wall were blown away.

The giant gopher, which is far larger than its kind, screamed and fell, and the sound penetrated the darkness and reached the hunters' ears.Several people nearby covered their ears at the same time, and veins bulged on their foreheads.

"Stand back, don't come close!"

Ye An looked up at the ground, noticed the situation of the hunters, and immediately warned everyone to back off and not get too close.At the same time, activate the ability to cover the gopher group to the greatest extent, and there is no time to lock the giant gopher, so it is simply generalized.

The invisible will pierced the gopher's mind like a steel needle, and countless gophers fell from the rock wall. Before they could scream, their brains burst.

To solve the immediate crisis, Ye An took a deep breath, and Xiao Yun seized the time to climb up.

It wasn't until the two climbed up to the edge of the ground fissure, and then turned over and jumped up, that the hunters realized that they were carrying a large spar on their backs, which was more than half a meter long and thicker than a human thigh.

Carrying such a thing is undoubtedly lighting up a light in the dark, and it is not surprising that swarms of gophers are chasing the two of them.

Ye An stood up, shook off the mud from his hands, and wiped the hot sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand.Turning around and looking back, he found that the swarm of gophers was not chasing him, but a large group was climbing on the rock wall, staring at him and Xiao Yun with red eyes, expressing anger, rage and unwillingness.

Unlike their counterparts in the wilderness, these gophers live underground all year round and undergo unique mutations.They have a natural fear of light, and bright light is like poison to them.

If Ye An and Xiao Yun hadn't broken the rock wall and found the spar buried in the mountain, the gophers would never have chased them here.

Fortunately, it is evening now, and the sun is close to setting. If the time is earlier, even in the rainy season, they will be injured by the light on the ground. One counts as one, and the best result is to become blind.

However, the entire group of rats would not be reconciled to giving up the spar like this.

Under the command of the giant gophers, the swarm continued to cling to the rock wall, neither advancing nor leaving, they were waiting, waiting for the last light to disappear, waiting for night to come.

Sensing the gopher's attempt, Ye An ignored the rest, and immediately discussed with Xiao Yun, drove all the modified cars over, turned on all the lights, and lit torches where the lights couldn't reach, to drive away the gophers.

"Are they sensitive to light?" asked a hunter.

This group of gophers is too special, and they are all encountering it for the first time.

"Correct."

Ye An succinctly stated his findings.

The hunters quickly returned to the camp without delay, each jumped into the modified car, one after another, parked the modified car on the edge of the ground fissure, and then turned on the lights.

Intense lights spread out instantly, illuminating the edge of the ground fissure, as if it were daytime.

The swarm of gophers was caught off guard, shrouded in light, and let out shrill screams.

The nearby gophers writhed in pain, unable to grasp the rocks and falling one after another.Seeing the miserable situation of their fellow clansmen, the rest dared not approach them any more, and fled back to the depths of the ground at high speed, regardless of the giant gopher's warning.

In the end, even the giant gopher couldn't support it, so he could only run away with his kin in desperation.

No matter how precious the spar is, it is not as important as life.What's more, there are not a few mutant beasts buried in the mountain, and some of the crystals were dug away, which did not have much impact on the ethnic groups living here.

Eluo hid the warehouse here, not because he didn't know that this place was dangerous.It is precisely because of the existence of the swarm of beasts and swarms that most of the bandits and wanderers can be blocked.

As for the manpower lost every time he came, he didn't take it seriously.

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

As long as the salary is enough, there are guards and porters, and he can afford it.

With this stronghold, Eluo accumulated a lot of wealth.Similarly, many lives were buried here.Some of the bones that Ye An and Xiao Yun saw in the sea of ​​flowers came from the guards and caravan members who were deceived and abandoned by E Luo.

Ye An and Xiao Yun could finally breathe a sigh of relief after repelling the swarm of gophers.

The two took the water bag handed over, raised their heads and took a few big gulps, then put down the spar on their backs, and then told the curious hunter about their experience of the trip.

During this period, a flock of birds flew down from the sky, most of them stood on the roof of the car, combing their feathers carefully, and a few landed on Ye An's shoulders and top of his head, rubbing his cheek affectionately.

The Osprey was a step behind and could only stare at the bird dissatisfied.

The golden eagle has not yet returned from hunting and did not join the fight.

The hunters listened attentively to what the two said, and they were all shocked.

"Is there such a terrible thing hidden underground?" A hunter was speechless.

"There is still a lot of wealth." Ye An smiled, holding down the jumping birds with his backhand.

Before meeting the swarm of gophers, he and Xiao Yun walked a long distance along the cave, not only digging out the buried spar, but also finding Eluo's warehouse.

The amount of materials in the warehouse is really unimaginable.

Ye An is fully convinced that after Zam's death, Eluo collected a lot of his hidden wealth, otherwise, the amount would not be so alarming.

"Let's rest tonight. At dawn tomorrow, some people will stay behind, and the rest will go to Yanshan to carry supplies."

Ye An and Xiao Yun have already mastered the route and know how to fight against the swarm of gophers. As long as they avoid the sea of ​​flowers and the swarm of insects, they can enter the warehouse smoothly.

In addition, Ye An is also very interested in the mushrooms that can burn, and plans to bring some back to Lily of the Valley.

With these materials, both he and Xiao Yun will have a worthwhile trip, and the team will return with a full load.
