Ye An

Not long after Ye An's team set off, they encountered another heavy snowfall.

The wind whizzed past, and the snow ravaged the ground. The speed of the antelope and the mutant dog was forced to slow down. They relied on the spar provided by Ye An to trek through the wind and snow.

As the evening approached, the wind and snow did not decrease. After the team had a short rest, Ye An made a decision to continue on the road overnight.

It is very risky to make this decision, but the weather in the snow season is unpredictable, and there is no guarantee that the snow will become bigger. If they are trapped on the way, the team will get into more trouble.

Ye An cut open the arms and legs of the octopus and distributed them to the mutant dog and the antelope.The meat of sea beasts is tough to chew, but it can provide more energy.The mutated dog and the antelope quickly ate the dried meat, and the three sleds broke through the darkness and sped forward in the snow field.

As midnight approached, the snowstorm intensified again, and the team was forced to stop and take shelter from the snowstorm by a dense forest.

Due to adequate preparations, both Ye An and his grandfather and grandson were wrapped in thick animal skins, so they would not freeze even if there was no fire.

Mutant dogs and antelopes formed a circle, leaning against each other for warmth.

The bird landed on the antelope horns, its fiery red feathers looked like a large fireball ignited in the dark night.

The bees were protected in Ye An's arms, except for the occasional need for them to point out the direction, basically motionless, relying on Ye An's body temperature to keep warm.

The direction of the bat swarm was the same as that of Ye An, and because they were hiding underground, they didn't need to avoid the snowstorm. Now they had flown to Ye An's front and gathered in an underground cave to rest.

Ye An sat on the sled, holding a small antelope in his arms.Its mother was seriously injured in the battle with the brown bear. Even with Ye An's ointment, she couldn't survive after all.

The duiker has lost its mother. Normally, the herd would provide protection, but that's about it.No female antelope will adopt it, and whether it survives depends entirely on itself.

Ye An hugged the little antelope and wrapped it in animal skins.Fortunately, it can already eat meat, otherwise, would it be necessary to hold other female antelopes to feed it?

In the blizzard, a large black shadow approached the dense forest.

The mutant dog immediately became alert, pricked up its ears, and let out a threatening low growl in the direction of the shadow.

Ye An told the grandparents and grandson to stay still and try to hide behind the antelope herd. He picked up the long knife and walked to the front of the team to be alert to possible dangers.

It was a large herd of reindeer, more than a thousand in number, stretching for several miles.The reindeer followed the wolves and did not attack, but they were always looking for opportunities to target the old, weak and injured in the team.

The deer herd was getting closer and closer to the dense forest. When they found Ye An and his party hiding from the wind and snow at the edge of the forest, the leading buck roared, and the members of the deer herd responded one after another.

The voice didn't threaten Ye An, but rather frightened the wolves following the deer.

The wolves were at the end of the deer herd and were blocked from sight. They did not find Ye An at the edge of the forest, and mistakenly thought that the deer herd was enraged and wanted to fight back against the wolves in the dark.

Such a thing has not happened.

Reindeer are plentiful and tough enough, with deadly antlers and hooves.If the wolves do not dodge in time, they may be trampled into meat by the deer.

However, it is absolutely impossible to make the wolves give up hunting.

They crossed half the snowfield to chase the deer, and just turned around like this, and all their previous efforts were in vain.Experienced alpha wolves have already discovered that there are many does in the deer herd who are about to give birth, and there are not a few of them.This is an opportunity for the wolves, and the newborn fawns will feed the entire wolves and store enough energy.

The leader of the wolves raised his head and howled, and the wolves responded one after another. His voice pierced through the cold wind, tearing apart the roar of the deer.

This is a signal that the wolves are ready to attack.

The deer herd no longer cared about Ye An's team, and turned their directions one after another. Led by the stag, they aimed their sharp antlers at the wolves.It's just that the wolves were too cunning, and before the reindeer finished adjusting the team, they began to run along the side of the team, forcing the deer into chaos.

In the chaos, a small herd of doe separated from the team and was driven in different directions by the wolves.

The wolves were waiting for this opportunity.

The alpha wolf howled, and some members wandered around the deer herd, alerting them to attack from behind, and the rest followed closely behind the doe who had left the herd, separating them from the herd further and consuming their energy , wait until they are exhausted before starting.

Unfortunately, the location of Ye An's team happened to be in the direction of the reindeer's escape.

The sled carried a lot of supplies and could not move quickly. It was likely to be knocked over by the rushing reindeer. Ye An made a decisive decision, untied the noose on the male antelope, jumped onto the back of the antelope, held the antelope horn with one hand, and greeted the reindeer go up.

Several mutated dogs got rid of the ropes on their own and followed Ye An.Their target is not the reindeer, but the wolf chasing the reindeer.There are puppies in the team, and these wolves are a great threat to the puppies.

Neither the reindeer nor the wolf expected to be intercepted. Ye An urged the male antelope to speed up. When the same reindeer passed by, he found that the other party was completely panicked. up its neck.

The mutant dog leaped over the carcass of the reindeer and charged at the mutant wolf that was slightly bigger than itself.

During the battle, the mutated dog lowered its tail and bit each other with the pack of wolves. The sharp fangs tore apart the opponent's fur, and the bright red blood splashed on the silver and white ground, spreading out a large area of ​​bright red.

Ye An cut down two reindeer and found that the deer herd slowed down, and finally had a chance to assimilate the remaining reindeer.Under Ye An's lead, the group of does quickly turned around and ran back into the group.

The battle between the mutated dogs and the pack of wolves became intense, and no one could do anything to the other, and fell into a stalemate for a while.

Facing the threatening pack of wolves, Ye An gripped the bone knife tightly, locked on the largest one among them, which was obviously the leader, and pointed at the reindeer on the ground with the tip of the knife to show his attitude.

"The prey is for you, don't go near the forest."

The wolf king let out a low howl, bared his teeth, and his mouth was still stained with blood.

Ye An didn't accept any threats. He swung his long knife diagonally, and the frozen deer blood twisted into a red line. It was clear that the wolves did not accept the conditions, so they continued to fight.

There are wolves on the isolated island, and Ye An knows how to deal with these beasts.In any case, you can't show weakness, you must let the other party know that you are strong enough to drive out their groups.

After a long confrontation, the wolf king chose to accept Ye An's conditions, raised his head and let out a long howl, and the members of the group quickly gathered and dragged away the carcass of one reindeer, while the remaining one remained where it was.

Seeing the actions of the wolves, Ye An didn't say anything. He jumped off the back of the antelope and tore off a deer leg. The mutated dog and the bird divided the rest.

The antelope dug through the snow at the edge of the forest and found a large piece of mutated grass. Compared with meat, they still prefer to fill their stomachs with mutated plants.

Ye An carried the deer's leg back to the edge of the forest. After a short distance, the deer's leg was completely frozen.

The little girl leaned against the old man's arms, and looked at Ye An with big eyes without blinking.The old man asked Ye An if he wanted to light a fire. Ye An shook his head, sat back on the sled, sliced ​​the venison with a dagger, handed it to the old man and the little girl, and said, "The wind is too strong, just eat like this."

The venison is frozen very hard, and there is not much fat. It is a little fishy in the mouth, and it tastes like ice slag.The taste is not very good, but it is as rich in energy as brown bear meat, which is very good for the body.

The deer leg was quite heavy, and Ye An and his grandfather and grandson ate most of it, and chopped the rest into small pieces for the dogs on the sled to grind their teeth.

The mutated dog and bird that had finished eating their prey returned one after another. The bird leaned together to keep warm. The mutated dog pulled the rope out of the snow and put it on his body without Ye An's hands. Then he yawned and lay down on the snow. Rest in the ground.

Midnight passed quickly, and the wolves had food and stopped harassing the reindeer.

The reindeer herd did not approach the edge of the forest, but gathered together to be wary of the wolves in the night.

The strong wind blew all night, and towards dawn, the wind and snow finally eased.

Ye An jumped off the sled, moved his arms and legs a few times, and carefully checked the ropes binding the supplies. After confirming that there was no problem, he reorganized the team, left the edge of the dense forest, and headed towards the delta.

The sled slid a certain distance, Ye An felt that something was wrong, grabbed the rope with one hand, and turned his head to look behind him.Amidst the silvery white, the herd of deer was chasing after the sledge, trudging forward following the long trails left in the snow.

"what happened?"

Ye An carefully observed the leading stag, and found that it wasn't a simple coincidence of routes, this herd of reindeer clearly followed him purposefully.In the most obvious sign, twice he sped up the sled, and the herd of reindeer sped up, and he slowed the procession, and the herd slowed down.If there is no purpose to follow, what explanation can there be?

He chopped down two reindeer with his own hands last night and ate the venison. Didn't the group of reindeer see it?Or are they attracted to something?

Thinking of the spar he was carrying, Ye An couldn't help feeling suspicious.

"My lord, do you want to drive them away?" The old man clenched his bone knife tightly. He didn't have Ye An's ability, so he couldn't know the real purpose of the deer herd.

"Don't worry about it for now." Ye An shook his head.

Whatever the reason, at present, the purpose of the reindeer herd is just to follow, and there is no sign of attacking itself.Hurrying is the most important thing. If you want to follow, let them follow, and you don't need to waste energy driving them away.

The wind was still strong, and the snow did not stop. Fortunately, the blizzard did not come again. The mutant dog and the antelope continued to accelerate, passing through an open snowfield, and the delta was within reach.

Ye An was eager to return home, and distributed most of the octopus arms and legs to the antelope and the mutant dog. He even took out a spar, crushed it, and sprinkled the crumbs into the meat.

Following the commotion among his reindeer herd, Ye An looked up and found that all the nearby reindeer were eagerly looking at the octopus arms and legs sprinkled with powder, and the previous suspicion was confirmed.

Also attracted are wolves.

Like the reindeer, they eagerly watched Ye An crush the spar, and watched the mutant dog and antelope devour the energy-laden jerky.If it wasn't for the chief wolf to stop him, there would have been mutant wolves rushing towards Ye An.

Knowing what the reindeer herd was looking for, Ye An still didn't take any action to drive them away. After the antelope and the mutant dog recovered their strength, they stood on the sled and led the team to move on.

With the energy provided by the spar and the octopus arms, the mutated dog and the antelope competed to accelerate, and the three sleds drove side by side, setting off a large piece of crushed snow as it passed, flying in a fan shape, and a large snow fog.

The reindeer herd and wolves followed again. They were attracted by the spar and couldn't take it from Ye An, but they were unwilling to leave.

Getting closer and closer to the destination, Ye An couldn't restrain the excitement in his heart, and the excitement spread throughout the team, even affecting the reindeer and wolves following behind.

Seeing the isolated island covered in snow, Ye An couldn't help but smile.However, this good mood came to an abrupt end when it approached the edge of the isolated island.Along the snow-covered river, there were several mutated deer bones scattered, as well as mutated vines that had been burned by fire, charred black into carbon, spreading for more than ten meters.

In the cold snow season, such mutated plants would not grow naturally, and there could only be one explanation.

Ye An jumped off the sleigh and walked quickly to the skeleton of a mutant deer. He found that the bone was still fresh with clear knife marks on it, so it couldn't have been made by a mutant deer.Turn over the scorched vines, there are broken short knives and coagulated blood underneath.

Anger hit Ye An's heart, and the furious emotions swept through like a gust of wind, the mutated dog started to bark, and the wolves were also aroused with ferocity, howling uncontrollably.

The birds flapped their wings and flew up, and the bats hidden underground also flapped their wings, ready to rush out of the ground at any time.

Deep underground, the sleeping mutant python sensed something, a black letter protruded from its mouth, its huge body moved slowly, and the sound of scales rubbing resounded throughout the cave.

Lily of the Valley hiding in the tunnel heard the sound, dragged her injured leg, and crawled towards the hole with both hands.

Seeing the mutated python awakened, thinking of some possibility, Ling Lan couldn't restrain her excitement, and said in her mouth: "I know, I knew Ye An would be fine, he's back, he's back!"

Ling Lan struggled to sit up, the injury on her body was very painful, but she didn't seem to feel it.Seeing the mutant python slipping out of the tunnel, she mustered up her courage, hugged the mutant python's tail, and finally returned to the ground after hiding for several days.
