Ye An

Chapter 43 The Swarm

The arrival of the elephant herd interrupted Ye An's hunting, and most of the wild boars fled into the forest and disappeared soon.Only three boars were left, slowed down by their injuries and unable to keep up with the herd.

The engine cover was already smoking, and the modified car could barely start, but it was not a good idea to continue to hit the wild boar.Ye An simply jumped out of the modified car, caught up with the slowest one, and slashed at the prey's neck with a long knife.

There are steel needle-shaped manes on the back of the male wild boar's neck. When the knife cuts it down, it makes a sound like metal friction.Blood splashed out, accompanied by the screams of wild boars, staining the tall grass under his body red.

This male wild boar weighed seven to eight hundred catties, and it was impossible to completely cut off its neck with a single cut.The other two injured wild boars took the opportunity to rush forward, showing their sharp fangs, intending to tear Ye An to pieces.

The elephants were drinking water by the river and didn't pay attention to the movement here. Ye An pulled out his long knife with both arms, and before he could back up, the wild boar had already pounced on him.

Ye An quickly turned sideways to avoid the fatal attack, held the long knife behind him to hold the wild boar that was rushing from the left, and kicked the other wild boar's wound with his right leg.

The wild boar howled angrily, and Ye An took the opportunity to take two steps back, aimed at the target whose neck had been cut and fell to the ground, raised the knife and dropped it, killing it.

The death of the male wild boar stimulated his companions, and the two seriously injured wild boars rushed forward again. Ye An threw a short knife and flew over a wild boar's ear. The wild boar stabbed down hard.

The blade pierced through the wild boar's left eye. Ye An exerted all his strength, risking being scratched by the fangs, and pushed the long knife forward until it sank into the handle.

Warm blood splashed on Ye An's face, and the wild boar's skull was pierced, no matter how strong the vitality was, it would not help.The angry howl turned into a scream, and as blood and brains gushed out together, the scream gradually decreased until he fell to the ground and could no longer make a sound.

The last wild boar seemed to be frightened. Instead of continuing to attack Ye An, it turned around and fled into the forest.

There was no escape before, and it is even more impossible now.

The long knife got stuck on the wild boar's bone and couldn't be pulled out for a while. Ye An picked up the short knife that fell on the ground, jumped up, and rushed towards the slowed target with the injured leg. The blade slanted downward, piercing the back of the wild boar , penetrated the viscera of the wild boar.

The wild boar howled, trying to shake off Ye An.

Ye An clenched the handle of the knife tightly and tore the wound even wider.

The more the wild boar ran forward, the more serious the injury became, leaving a large group of bloodstains along the way, and finally exhausted due to excessive blood loss, fell down under a mutated tree, and soon stopped breathing.

Ye An retracted the dagger, and wiped away the blood splashed on his chin with his backhand.I don't want my hands to be covered in blood, and the more I smear it, the more I can only give up in the end.

From the banks of the river came the honking of elephants, mixed with the cries of deer and howling wolves, and it was evident that the newcomers were not welcome.

Conflicts could happen at any time, Ye An quickly retracted the long knife, took the rope from the car, dragged the three wild boars back to the modified car, carried them one by one into the car, and pulled up the hay to cover them.

The grass where the wild boars gathered before was scattered with many excavated earth pits, some as deep as half a meter, and some with only a shallow layer. There are broken vines and crushed tubers scattered around some earth pits.

Most of the tubers are oxidized and discolored, and a few are still fresh, with transparent juice flowing out.Ye An bent down to pick up a piece, and found that the juice was very viscous, exuding a sweet fragrance, similar to syrup.

Should be able to eat it?

Not wanting to miss the rare food, Ye An took the shovel from the car, continued digging beside the shallow pit, and soon dug a section of vine buried under the soil, grabbed it with one hand and pulled it hard, the vine several meters long broke the ground When it came out, there were dozens of large and small tubers hanging on it. The complete shape was similar to sweet potatoes, and the skin was purple-red. The big one was bigger than Ye An's two fists, and the small one was no longer than the length of a thumb.

Not having time to pick them off one by one, Ye An cut the vines into several pieces with a knife, and carried the vines and tubers back to the car.

With three wild boars and nearly two hundred catties of tubers, today's harvest is quite rich.

Ye An didn't intend to go further into the area where the wild boars were active, so he lifted the engine cover to check, and after making sure there was no major problem, he got into the cab and started the engine, preparing to return the same way.

When passing by the river, Ye An slowed down the car and found that the elephant herd occupied the section of the river with the most abundant water, while the deer herd, wolves and other mutant beasts that came to drink water were all driven away.

The mutant elephant not only drank a lot of water, but also poured water from the river on its body. The two baby elephants even fought in the river, throwing up a large cloud of mud, and the clear water soon became muddy.

The modified car crossed the river bank, and the sound of the engine attracted the attention of the elephant herd.

The resounding cry of the elephant sounded again, and the leading female elephant rolled up her long trunk and flapped her ears, her huge tusks were full of threats.

Ye An didn't stop, stepped on the accelerator, and the modified car quickly left the river bank and entered the dense forest.

The elephant herd didn't come after them, and stayed by the river, occupying the selected river channel.Not only did the mother elephant keep the mutant beasts away, but all the mutant fish in the river were cleaned up and became food for the mutant elephants.

As with most herbivores, the mutation is like a change in eating habits.Although they will not chase and hunt like carnivores, the main diet is still mutated plants, and they will not refuse if there is real meat in front of them.

As time passed and the temperature became higher and higher, the commotion on the bank of the river showed no sign of subsiding, on the contrary, it further escalated as more and more mutant beasts arrived.

A group of strong black rhinos are on the rampage, obviously wanting to compete with the female elephant.

Around the precious water source, a conflict broke out between elephants and rhinos. The seriously injured black rhino fell down and was crushed by the mother elephant.

These conflicts will not affect Ye An for the time being.

Back in the forest, he parked the modified car beside a fruit tree. Ye An climbed onto the roof of the car from the driver's cab, climbed to the top of the tree with the help of the body, picked more than 20 blue-red fruits, and threw them among the coiled vines. superior.

Now is the hottest time of the day, and the wind passing through the forest is full of heat, setting off waves of heat waves.

When Ye An returned to the cab, his clothes were already drenched with hot sweat, blood clots stuck to his face, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Not so good."

After wiping off the sweat in front of his eyes, Ye An felt dizzy for a short time, his eyes turned black for a while, and he shook his head vigorously, the scene was no longer distorted, but there seemed to be small bugs flying in his vision.

"Aren't you going to suffer from heat stroke?"

Ye An immediately turned on the kettle, poured half a pot of water in one breath, took out a somewhat dry fruit from his pocket, swallowed it with the sour taste, leaned back on the chair, let out a long breath, finally Not as dizzy as before.

While he was resting, the sound of flapping wings suddenly sounded in the forest. Different from the familiar beetle, the frequency was more intensive and the speed was obviously faster.

Ye An was very curious. He poked his head out of the car window and looked in the direction of the sound. After seeing the source of the sound clearly, he immediately retracted his head and rolled up the car window at the same time, leaving only a narrow gap.

Not far from him, a black bear was running for its life in embarrassment.

The black bear ran forward on all fours and ran into a tree trunk in a panic. Amidst the creaking sound, the thigh-thick tree trunk was knocked down by it on the spot.

Behind the mutated bear was a group of bees, each about the size of a ping-pong ball, surrounded by gold and black on the waist and abdomen, and there were hundreds of them. The tail needles were not hooked, but straight needles like wasps.What this means is self-evident.No matter how rough the skin is, being besieged by such a swarm of bees will not end well.

Ye An sat in the modified car, trying not to make any noise, and did not take the initiative to assimilate the raging bees.He just wanted to wait for the battle to end, the bee swarm to leave, and return to the rocky mountain smoothly.

The black bear was attacked by a swarm of bees, and the wounds on its body continued to increase. It was so painful that it rushed towards the modified car!

Sitting in the cab, Ye An saw the black bear pounce on the front of the car, and the bees swarmed the sky and covered the sky. The despair of the black bear and the fury of the bees came together. Although his head didn't hurt, his spirit was extremely nervous. His palms were sweaty. Clear wet marks.

Under the siege of the swarm, the black bear was tortured to death.

The bees were not interested in the black bear's flesh and blood. Instead, they covered the transparent car windows in groups. Several of the largest ones lay on the gaps in the car windows, their tentacles swayed, conveying a curious emotion, which was completely different from the previous berserk. The poisonous insect that Yu Ye'an once assimilated.

Ye An targeted the three largest bees, trying to assimilate their emotions, and the process went smoothly beyond imagination.Aside from being curious, bees are incredibly peaceful.If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard for Ye An to believe that the black bear lying on the ground was the masterpiece of these little guys.

When Ye An was observing the bee colony, more than a dozen bees flew to the back of the car and found wild boars and tubers in the car.

Like black bears, they have no interest in the flesh of wild boars, and instead dance around tubers and vines.After eating the sap of the tubers, the flying speed of the bee colony increased significantly.

An emotion similar to joy came, and Ye An quickly realized what the bees wanted.

"Here you are, you can take it away."

Ye An tried to assimilate more bees, simplified his thinking, and expressed the meaning very clearly.

The emotions fed back by the bee colony are also very simple, joy, doubt, curiosity, and finally all turned into the satisfaction of finding food.

No bees paid attention to Ye An anymore, all the bees flew to the back of the car, used the joints and tail needles to dig up the tubers, and divided them into easy-to-handle sizes.It was found that doing so would cause the tubers to change color and wither, losing precious juice, and the bee colony quickly changed its strategy. Several of them cooperated with each other, grabbed the complete tubers, gathered them together, and flew towards the direction of the hive.

Ye An waited for a while to make sure that the bee swarm was far away, then opened the car door and went to the back of the car to check the situation.Not a single tuber was left in the cart, and most of the vines and fruits were taken away, but the wild boar was not damaged at all, not even a single pig hair was missing.

"Do you not eat meat?"

After coming to this world, it was the first time for Ye An to see a completely vegetarian population.

Moving the vines aside, Ye An returned to the front of the car, walked around the black bear, picked it up and threw it into the car.

"made money."

The tubers that the bee swarm took away were no more than two hundred catties, and this black bear weighed four to five hundred catties.

The black bear ran for his life with his head in his arms, knocked down many mutant trees, and accidentally cleared a path.Ye An restarted the vehicle and drove forward for a certain distance before stopping.

Here is not far from the rocky mountain, Ye An plans to walk in two times, a little faster, fully able to transport the prey back before being discovered by other mutant beasts.

"Work!"

Ye An untied the rope that bound the wild boar, left one end, tied the other two again, and dragged them all the way to the rocky mountain.After walking a certain distance, he suddenly stopped, turned his head to look behind him, and asked doubtfully, "Are you overthinking?"

After waiting for a while, without finding anything, Ye An turned around and continued to move forward.Not long after he left, two small bees flew out from behind the leaves, flapped their wings and followed quietly.

Ye An never dreamed that he would be followed, and it was still two bees who followed him!
