Ye An

The energy fluctuations coming from the ground were very strange, following Ye An, it soon attracted Xiao Yun's attention.

Standing at the entrance of the pipeline, Ye An pointed to the ground and said, "There may be something down here."

"Go down and have a look." Xiao Yun said.

The two stopped looking for trophies, handed over the found arms and legs to the bird guards, went down into the pipeline one after the other, and searched in the dark underground.

Xiao Yun was carrying a flint and steel, and Ye An made a torch out of dry vines and branches, using the light of the fire to illuminate the way forward.

The pipe is far more spacious than imagined. The bones of unknown animals are piled up under the feet. The walls on both sides are very smooth, and some kind of dried mucus hangs down.

Broken bluestones piled up at the corner, and the overhead pipe collapsed, revealing a long and narrow crack in the ground, which should have been caused by the mutant octopus' attack.

The two continued to move forward, and there were more and more bones under their feet.Over time, most of them became very fragile, making a light noise when stepped on, and scattered into a ball of slag and powder.

Ye An's feeling became more and more intense, and the energy fluctuated at a strange frequency, seeming to be absent, with the silence of death, making one's spine chill, and the coldness rising from the soles of his feet.

"Be careful, there must be something ahead." Ye An reminded, his voice was slightly hoarse due to nervous tension, and every word echoed through the pipe, which was a bit weird.

Xiao Yun raised the torch with one hand, drew out the long knife on his back, slowed down his forward speed, and acted cautiously.

There was another corner, and there was a salty wind blowing, and the sound of the waves could be heard faintly.

Ye An knew that what attracted him was close at hand.

The fire began to flicker, and the two had to be very careful to avoid the light from disappearing.

Going forward for a certain distance, the sound of roaring water suddenly hit, a hanging waterfall blocked the way, and the salty sea water rushed through the pipes, reaching their ankles.

Through the waterfall, you can faintly see a hill-like stone pile on the opposite side. The stone pile is surrounded by huge broken bones, stacked staggered, and oval eggs are on the guard stone pile.

"Go through."

Now that you have come, you can't return without success.

The front is not a mutant beast, it is likely to be a large number of crystals, let alone return empty-handed.

The torch was extinguished by the waterfall, and the two covered their heads and necks with one hand, resisted the strong current, and came to the opposite side of the waterfall.

The water under their feet was deeper, reaching the knees of the two at the deepest point. It was rushing and flowing in the pipe, but it couldn't wash away the pile of stones in front of them, as well as the eggs surrounded by piles of stones and bones.

"That's the thing."

Ye An threw away the useless torch, wiped the water droplets from his face, and walked to the stone pile through the knee-deep water.

The closer the distance was, the stronger his feeling became. At this moment, he was completely sure that the stones in front of him were spars.The energy was blocked by the bones surrounding it, so it couldn't escape completely, forming a transparent protective cover, and only then did the strange fluctuations appear.

"What the hell is it?" Ye An muttered to himself, stopped in front of the stone pile, and carefully observed the skeletons in front of him.

The skeleton is lifeless off-white. At first glance, the surface looks very smooth, but it is actually full of pits. Judging from the shape and fracture, it should be caused by the suction cups on the octopus' arms and legs.

The skeleton is extremely hard, with a metallic texture, and it clangs when knocked.

These bones are not like any mutant beast Ye An has ever seen, they are bigger than what he found in the dark river cave, beyond imagination.

"This is the bone of a whale." Standing beside Ye An, Xiao Yun tapped the surface of the bone with his fingers. At the same time, he raised the long knife in his hand and showed the handle to Ye An.

It was only then that Ye An realized that the material of the knife handle was very similar to the bone in front of him.

"Whale bone?"

Considering what Xiao Yun said, and in connection with the appearance of the mutated octopus before, Ye An had some guesses about the eggs in the stone pile.

"These whale bones are good things." Xiao Yun withdrew his long knife and said to Ye An, "It can be used to make weapons, and it is also a material for medicine."

The rushing water carried away the gravel and sundries in the channel, and washed out the whole picture of the piles of stones and bones.

Seen from Ye An's position, the stone pile extends more than ten meters, surrounded by whale bones on all sides, some of the eggs under the energy cover are damaged and shriveled. Moist luster.

If these are mutated octopus eggs, I don't know how long they have been nourished by the spar, and how much energy is contained in them, so they must take them back to taste.

"Move the whale bone first, try to be careful." Ye An said.

The two worked together to remove the largest whalebone, and it was heavy, far heavier than an octopus arm of the same size.

"Stay there, it can block the water flow."

The water volume of the waterfall is really amazing, and it hurts when it hits the body.

Ye An and Xiao Yun erected the whale bones one by one, and put them against the damaged pipe, blocking part of the water flow and propping up an easier passage.

After the whalebone was moved away, the energy shield quickly shattered, and the energy of the spar spread out, instantly filling the entire passage.

It is very risky to do so, and it is likely to attract mutant beasts and marine life, but the two have no choice, because the whale bone blocks them, and they cannot approach the stone pile at all.As long as you move quickly, you can always remove more crystals before the opponent arrives.If the mutated beast and mutated fish that came were not strong enough, they would become their prey.

During the process of carrying the spar, Ye An accidentally discovered that the surface of the spar touched by Xiao Yun would not fall off, and would always maintain its original appearance.The stone in his hand was not the same. The stone peeled off in large pieces, scattered all the way behind him, and returned to the corner of the passage, leaving only the size of pigeon eggs and longan, piled up with other stones, which looked very eye-catching.

Xiao Yun didn't say anything, and before returning to the stone pile, he put several stones into Ye An's hands one after another, and waited until the skin of the stones peeled off, revealing a dazzling crystal, before saying: "It's faster to do this."

Ye An opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't know what to say, so he simply didn't say a word, took the stones handed by Xiao Yun, walked over the scattered stone skins, and walked quickly behind the waterfall.

Ye An's back disappeared around the corner, Xiao Yun withdrew his gaze and looked at the other side of the stone pile.

The water surged, creating layers of water waves.

At the end of the pipe, the water wave reversed. Even without Ye An's ability, he could tell that something was coming based on his past experience.

The roar was getting closer and closer, Xiao Yun clenched the long knife tightly, supported the stone pile with one hand, and climbed up to the high place neatly, guarding against the coming threat.

When Ye An came back, he saw Xiao Yun's movements, frowned and looked towards the opposite side of the pipe, and covered the stone pile with his hands, the stone skin on the surface of the spar peeled off in large pieces, and the dazzling light diffused out, gathering together, almost hurting Ye An. Ann's eyes.

"then!"

Knowing that the visitor was not kind, Ye An grabbed the largest spar and threw it to Xiao Yun who was standing on the whalebone.The latter caught it, nodded to him, and said, "I'm here, send the things out as soon as possible."

"I see."

Ye An bent down and picked up the spar, turned around and ran towards the waterfall.

Back at the corner of the channel where the spar was stored, Ye An concentrated all his energy to deepen the connection with the birds, dragged the flock of birds directly above him, stepped on the spar to climb up to the high place, smashed the pipe with one hand, and pushed away the covering Bluestone overhead.

When the chirping of birds came, Ye An handed out several spars to convey his meaning to them.The flock of birds uttered melodious calls, accepted Ye An's gift, swooped into the pipe one after another, picked up the remaining spar, and flew towards the courtyard with wings flapping.

With the help of the birds, most of the crystals were quickly transported away.

Ye An turned around and walked across the waterfall, just in time to see Xiao Yun chopping off a swordfish covered with green-brown scales and with a bone sword in front of its head.

The mutant swordfish has a fierce temperament and likes to act in groups. Attracted by the energy emitted by the spar, it rushed into the pipeline first, and attacked Xiao Yun who was guarding in front of the stone pile in order to seize the spar.

There are so many swordfish, and the severed fish bodies are piled up in the passage.The water couldn't be washed away, emitting a pungent smell, attracting more mutated fish, as well as many crabs and shrimps waving their claws.

In addition, Ye An also saw palm-sized scallops. The shells flapped over the school of fish and landed on the corpse of the swordfish, tearing and devouring the flesh with energy.

Confirming that Xiao Yun could handle it, Ye An continued to carry the spar, hollowed out the pile of stones as quickly as possible, and transported them to the birds waiting on the other side of the waterfall.

"How long will it take?" Xiao Yun's voice came.

"Soon!" Ye An didn't raise his head, his hands weren't fast enough, and with an idea, he threw himself onto the stone pile.After confirming that the method worked, regardless of how embarrassed he looked, he lay down on the rocks like a gecko, pushed away the peeled stone skin, picked up more crystals with both arms, and ran towards the waterfall at the fastest speed.

Xiao Yun was stunned by Ye An.

No matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn't think of such an operation.

As Ye An's speed increased, the stone pile was hollowed out at a speed visible to the naked eye.The mutated fish coming from the opposite side were even crazier, they couldn't be stopped with just a long knife, so Xiao Yun had to jump off the whalebone and retreat behind the stone pile for the time being.

The mutated fish quickly occupied the position, scrambling for the spar covered by the sailfish carcass.

Xiao Yun retreated a certain distance, swiped a knife and cut off a whalebone supporting the pipe, and the water flowed violently. In the channel, cut off the school of fish.

The school of fish behind the ice wall cannot rush over and can only keep hitting the ice surface.The mutated fish in front rushed towards the spar, encountered the blade and found that the escape route was blocked, and was chopped into two pieces one after another.

Ye An walked through the waterfall, heard the sound echoing in the pipe, saw the ice wall gradually covered with cracks, knew that the wall could not last long, grabbed a broken sailfish bone sword, and pierced a body over two meters long. mutant fish.When pulling out the bone sword, the blood of the mutated fish splashed on his face, Ye Pingan didn't care, he handed out the bone sword faster and faster, and the broken corpses of the mutated fish soon piled up under his feet.

The two tried their best, but there were still more and more mutated fish in the pipeline, as if they couldn't kill them all.To make matters worse, with a crackling sound, the ice wall was smashed to pieces.

"I can't stop it, break these bones!" Ye An shouted to Xiao Yun.

After confirming that most of the spar had been removed, Xiao Yun bent down and grabbed a few eggs, swung his knife to kill three sailfish, quickly retreated to the waterfall, and worked together with Ye An to cut off all the supporting whale bones.

The waterfall flew down, and the water volume suddenly increased. The skeletons, peeling stone skins, broken ice walls, and crazy mutant fish in the pipe were swept away together.On the contrary, the most inconspicuous scallops and conchs were attached to the wall, they were not washed away by the current, and they continued to devour the snatched fish meat, eating quite satisfactorily.

The waterfall is constantly washing, sweeping the entire pipeline.

Ye An and Xiao Yun looked at each other, to prevent the water from reversing, they quickly ran to the other end of the pipe.

"Happy cooperation." Back to the safe place, leaving the waterfall far behind, Xiao Yun stretched out his hand to Ye An.

Before Ye An could respond, the rocks above his head suddenly collapsed, and the evening light shone into the ground. There was a continuous sound of fluttering wings, mixed with Jason's loud voice: "Boss, are you okay? Do you want us to go down?" ?”

The hunters had obviously followed the birds.

Hearing the voice, Ye An didn't hold Xiao Yun's hand, but just patted it lightly, and said in his mouth, "It's a happy cooperation."

After finishing the words, he stretched his arms hard and climbed up to the top of the pipe neatly.

The flock of birds surrounded Ye An and took him up into the air, covering the afterglow of the setting sun, as if they wanted to blend into the fiery red sunset.
