Ye An

The ant colony returned to the delta ahead of time, and Ye An honored the reward as promised, and paid an extra sum, which made the queen ant very satisfied.

After three days of rest, the black ants and army ants came out again, carrying the gifts prepared by Ye An, and headed to Hunter City for the third time.

Because there were too many cages, and a few bear skins were temporarily added, Ye An specially contacted termites and fire ants, provided generous supplies, and negotiated terms with the other party, and the traveling team immediately formed a long queue.

The underground passage has long been widened, and with the presence of termites, the journey is smoother.

When encountering a narrow bend or a stone blocking the way, the ant colony works together and it doesn't take long to clear the obstacle.

Compared with the previous two times, more gifts were delivered this time, but the speed of travel did not slow down at all, but was much faster.Calculating the time, the team can return without waiting until the end of the snow season.

After the gift was given out, Ye An put one thing on his mind and turned his attention back to the construction of the isolated island.

It was sunny for several days in a row, there was no howling wind and heavy snow, and the mutant beasts in the delta became active.The islanders also couldn't stay idle, and all went out of their homes to take the initiative to invest in urban construction.

The architectural drawings were drafted by Ye An, and Wang Bo and others finished the details after serious discussions.

Thanks to everyone's efforts, all the residential areas and public facilities in the city have been completed, and the bazaar planned by Ye An has begun to take shape.

In the designated area, rows of buildings with similar shapes and neat specifications rise up, facing the street.

Most of the buildings have two to three floors. The first floor is very spacious and used as a shop; the second and third floors can be lived in. If the owner uses it for other purposes, he can remodel it by himself, but the main structure and appearance of the house cannot be damaged.

The buildings made of wood and masonry are very strong. The craftsmen used their brains in their spare time, but the shape of the building could not be fully utilized, and various colors of paint appeared on the scene as scheduled.

In view of the different aesthetics, each building in the newly built bazaar has a distinct personal style.

Especially in the center of the market, it was purposely built as a small masonry building with five floors and set up as the management office. The outer wall was painted bright red, and the roof was dazzling emerald green.There are even more ingenious craftsmen who outline large flowers on the windows and gates, and the petals are filled with brilliant colors.

Looking from a distance, the flowers on the door and windows are blooming one after another, which is almost real.

Probably feeling unsatisfied, several craftsmen walked around the small building, picked up brushes, and continued to outline on the flat wall. It took seven days to draw a lifelike sea of ​​flowers.

Standing in front of the completed building, Ye An admired the craftsmanship of the craftsmen, admiring their extraordinary skills, and at the same time his eyes twitched because of the color matching of the roof and the walls.

He even had some doubts, whether the craftsmen of these drawings were like him, thinking that the large expanse of emerald green on top of the bright red would be too harsh on the eyes, so they did everything possible to cover it with pictures.

Whatever the reason, the finished building is beautiful and unique, unique in the city.

After the bazaar was completed, Uncle Qiang proposed to build a stone wall on the outside. It doesn't need to be too high, just higher than the first floor of the building.

"Wrapping this place and leaving the entrance and exit gates will facilitate the management and verification of people entering and exiting, and also reassure those who enter."

After careful consideration, Ye An agreed to the proposal.

The purpose of building the bazaar is to attract caravans to stay for a long time. In the case of not fully trusting each other, the existence of walls is necessary, which is not only convenient for management, but also gives merchants and islanders a certain sense of security.When there are many people, it can also guide the flow of people to avoid crowding, unnecessary troubles, and losses that everyone does not want to see.

After the market was completed, Ye An still went out early and returned late, personally inspecting the city wall and the residential areas in the city.

His personal efforts have affected everyone, coupled with the increased salary, the enthusiasm of the craftsmen on the construction site is high, and the work that originally took half a month to complete was declared completed in only ten days, with quality and quantity guaranteed, and no flaws could be found.

The projects on the island were completed one after another, and the ant colony returned from Hunter City ahead of schedule again.

On the same day, a light snow fell suddenly, and the weather changed accordingly.

Snow fell in the first half of the night, and it turned into light rain in the second half of the night.

The rain intensified, sweeping the delta with blustery winds.

Large pieces of frozen ice cracked, rivers swelled, and streams were filled.The lake overflowed the shore, and the edge continued to stretch, covered with snow that had not yet melted.

Thunder roared, signaling the arrival of the rainy season.

The mutated python was awakened by the thunder, opened its mouth wide and yawned, trying to stretch its coiled body, but unexpectedly felt restrained and tense, and immediately realized that it was about to shed its skin again.

Enduring the discomfort, the golden python swam in the cave and crawled towards the passage leading to the hot spring.It is ready to molt by the spring water, where it can maintain its body temperature to the greatest extent.

The black python is still sleeping.It had shed its skin once before the snow season came, and it was full again. If nothing else, it would not wake up until the rainy season passed and the dry season came.

The golden python has a deep connection with Ye An, almost at the same time it woke up, Ye An felt it.

After capturing the golden python's emotions and knowing its plan, Ye An immediately put down what he was doing, hurriedly told Mu Mian and Lu Ge, and quickly went to the rocky mountain in the center of the isolated island.

The reason why he was impatient was because there were new residents in the rocky mountain.

Some of the gem worms he brought back were not used to living in a house that was always lit with a stove, but they were not used to the cold of the snow season. They searched and searched, and chose a hot spring under a rocky mountain to live temporarily.

The rainy season came suddenly, and Ye An was busy all day long, but he hadn't had time to remove the gem worm.The golden python chooses to shed its skin by the hot spring, and the two are bound to meet.

The golden python is not familiar with the jewel worm, and the jewel worm doesn't know the golden python either.When the two sides meet together, there is no guarantee what will happen.

Thinking that the golden python would be extra cautious when shedding its skin, and would be quite aggressive, and the gem worm's temper was not that good, so Ye An subconsciously quickened his pace and passed through the city like a gust of wind.

Through the passage between the rock walls, Ye An finally came to the cave where the hot spring is located.

Fortunately, his worst fears did not happen.

The golden python coiled next to the spring water, had just woken up not long ago, and his movements were still a little sluggish, coupled with physical discomfort, his mood was very irritable.Although it didn't attack directly, it kept spitting out letters, occasionally wagging its tail, and hitting the ground heavily.

The gem worms hid in the crevices of the rock wall, and they sensed familiar energy fluctuations from the golden python, mainly due to the latter's connection with Ye An.Unable to understand the situation, they did not act rashly and waited until Ye An came.

The atmosphere in the cave was not good, Ye An still breathed a sigh of relief.

In any case, it's better not to do it.If there are no casualties, there is room for change in everything.

While Ye An was trying to reconcile the golden python and the gem worm, outside the delta, several caravans traveling in the rain happened to meet, knew each other's destination, and came together temporarily.

When the river swelled, the caravan showed its skills, either driving a modified car, or waving the reins to drive the camel.However, no matter which method is adopted, without exception, water is required.

The team moved forward for a certain distance, and suddenly there was a sound in the distance. It was a large group of water birds taking off together, flying and circling over the river, covering the sky and the sun.

Before everyone came back to their senses, the water birds left one after another.

The surface of the river suddenly became clear.

The water waves are surging, and fish schools gather with the current and rush down from the upper reaches.

After the school of fish, more than a dozen wooden boats separated left and right, and the people on board worked together to cast the fishing nets simultaneously under the command of a tall and strong woman.

Immediately the leaders gave the order, and the group stopped at the same time, without disturbing the hunters ahead.

The people on the boat pulled up the fishing nets, and instead of rushing to count the harvest, they gestured to each other, and then sent two wooden boats to meet the first guests who appeared in the delta after the rainy season.
