Ye An

The wreckage of the wooden boat sank underwater, and half of it was buried in the river sand. The unburied part was still more than ten meters above the bottom of the river.

The toppled mast landed on one side of the hull and was broken into at least three pieces, the shortest of which was more than three meters long.From this, it can be inferred how huge the ship was before it sank.

The hull is surrounded by water vortices, and the rapidly rotating water flow brings up a lot of sand and decayed and broken wood, like a natural barrier, blocking the hull and the surrounding environment.

If it was Ye An himself, without any experience, it would be difficult to pass through this vortex safely.The group of colorful fish was familiar with the road, found the passage between the two vortexes, lined up in a long row, and led Ye An through it easily.

Inside and outside the water vortex are completely two worlds.

The moment he walked through the passage, Ye An could clearly feel the change in water temperature.Different from the icy cold outside the vortex, the river water around the shipwreck is full of warmth, enveloping the whole body, making people feel so comfortable that they want to stretch their limbs, close their eyes and let out a sigh.

There was a burning pain in his lungs, and Ye An quickly regained his senses, let go of the colorful fish tail he was holding, stepped on the water with both feet, and swung his arms vigorously to float up.The water surface was getting closer and closer, but his eyes began to darken, and his ear drums began to hum.

Soon, soon!

Ye An gritted his teeth, passed through layers of water waves, and finally broke through the water.

Before he had time to wipe off the water droplets on his face, Ye An opened his mouth to absorb oxygen, moistening the burning nasal cavity and lungs.

"Cough cough!"

Probably because he was too eager, Ye An inevitably choked on two mouthfuls of water, and after coughing a few times, the tingling pain in his body finally eased.

Stretching out his hand to brush the wet hair on his forehead, Ye An looked around and found that the rock wall and the top of his head were covered with glowing ore, refracting and reflecting each other, which was extremely dazzling.The position of the water vortex is not fixed, and it will move from time to time, but without exception, they will be blocked by invisible boundaries, away from the center of the sunken ship.

After staying on the surface of the water for a while, Ye An took a deep breath and sank into the water again.

The school of colorful fish was nowhere to be seen, and it should have entered the sunken ship.

Ye An didn't swim into the cabin rashly, the time he could hold his breath was limited, and he didn't have an oxygen device by his side, so it was definitely not that easy to find out the inside of the sunken ship.For the sake of safety, he chose to search outside the hull, hoping to find some useful clues.

The hull is made of wood. It has been submerged for an unknown period of time, washed and soaked by the river water. Most of the wood has decayed, and the surface is covered with turquoise mutated plants, swaying gently in the water waves.

What surprised Ye An was that there were no living freshwater creatures near the hull, including river shells, mutated snails, shrimps and crabs.There are a lot of broken shells and bones scattered in the sand, but they are too crushed, it's hard to tell what kind of creatures they belong to.

Ye An pushed aside the fine sand, and found a fairly complete fragment. Judging from the color and texture, it should be a type of river shell. Other than that, he didn't find anything useful.

About 2 minutes later, Ye An surfaced again, and this time he stayed for a little longer, until all the discomfort disappeared, and then dived into the water again.

There was a noise from inside the sunken ship, but Ye An couldn't distinguish it. He tried to contact the school of colorful fish, and found that the school of fish entered the cabin along the cracks on the side of the hull and was rounding up several huge crab-like creatures.

Through the perspective of the colorful fish, Ye An confirmed that these creatures definitely did not belong to fresh water, but more like king crabs from the ocean.

The populations in the ocean live in underground rivers. Before a catastrophe, no one would believe it, and they would all feel ridiculous.This is not the case now, recalling the mantis shrimp that lived quite moist in the dark river, Ye An was not surprised by the discovery in the sunken ship.

These king crabs are all more than two meters long, and this is when the crab legs are not fully stretched, only the crab claws are open.

The colorful fish are not as big as the king crabs, but far outnumber each other. They surround the prey from three sides, forcing the king crabs to crowd together and unable to stretch their legs.When the time was right, they launched attacks from the oblique side, targeting the king crab's eyes and crab leg joints.

One king crab had all its legs removed and could not move its body. It could only wave its two pincers to deter fish schools.

In certain ocean waters, swarms of king crabs are apex predators.The current situation is completely different. In the eyes of female colorful fish, they are just a delicious meal with slightly better taste than river shells.

The school of colorful fish quickly surrounded it, deftly avoiding the king crab's pincers, and using the sharp bony wings to cut through the edge of the crab's shell.

The remaining two claws of the king crab were quickly pulled away, leaving the crab body slowly sinking.

The colorful fish's targets are only crab claws and crab legs, and they are not interested in the seemingly huge but not much meaty crab body at all.

Seeing their companions in distress, instead of stepping forward to help, the remaining king crabs wanted to take the opportunity to escape.The hull is large enough, and the internal structure is also very complicated. As long as you escape quickly and climb into the deeper bilge, you may not be able to get rid of the fish.

It's a pity that it's not their speed that evolved and mutated them, and they couldn't escape the pursuit of colorful fish. One by one, their crab legs and pincers were removed, and they became a delicious meal for fish schools.

After the colorful fish finished preying, they did not turn around and leave the cabin, but went downstream in groups.

Ye An couldn't stay underwater for long, so he simply surfaced and borrowed fish to explore the interior of the hull.There are many disadvantages in this method, and it is impossible to detect every corner of the hull. As far as the current situation is concerned, it is more efficient than him going up and down.

The school of fish dived continuously, passed through the three-story cabin, and soon came to the bottom of the hull.

Ye An could clearly perceive the emotions of the fish school, especially when approaching the keel of the hull, the joy and satisfaction reached the peak.

After arriving at the destination, the colorful fish quickly dispersed, each occupying a small portion of the keel, opening their mouths to gnaw continuously, devouring the powder of the keel almost greedily.

In view of the performance of the fish school, Ye An was particularly curious about the composition of the keel of the hull.However, there was no device to provide oxygen, so he couldn't get into such a deep place, and he couldn't get out even after submerging. He probably didn't have time to surface, and he died underwater due to lack of oxygen.

The school of fish didn't stay inside the sunken ship for too long, getting enough food and energy, and soon left in groups, appearing from the broken hull.

A colorful fish of the largest size swam to Ye An's side, and opened its mouth to spit out a small piece of keel bone.

Ye An reached out and grabbed it, and could clearly feel the energy contained in the fragments.

"No wonder."

Judging from the fragments, the keel of the sunken ship is likely to be the bone of some kind of giant sea monster. Even if it is not fully crystallized, the energy it contains is quite amazing.

Caiyu sits on this treasure, so naturally he doesn't pay much attention to the spar he carries.This small fragment alone is not far from the energy contained in the entire Queen Ant spar.

Ye An carefully put away the debris, knowing that the colorful fish was about to leave, so he didn't delay much, firmly remembered the location of this water area, and went through the vortex with the fish again, swam through the underwater channel, and returned along the direction of the water flow.

Without sufficient preparation, he could not fully explore the entire shipwreck. He had to find a way to stay underwater for a long time before he could explore again.

After swimming out of the waterway, the school of colorful fish suddenly stopped moving forward. Ye An passed through the dense school of fish and swam to the front of the school of fish. He found that what blocked their way was a group of huge mutated frogs.

Different from the frogs that Ye An had seen in the rainy season, these mutated frogs had no bright colors on their bodies, they were all blue-gray, and there were no raised poison sacs. Their backs and abdomens were very smooth.

Huge frog eyes bulge outward, white frog bellies bulge frequently, and the ear-piercing cry of frogs echoes around the river, with obvious excitement and excitement.

The school of colorful fishes spread out their bones and wings one after another as if they were facing a formidable enemy, posing a threatening posture, not allowing the frogs on the opposite side to approach.

The emotions of the frog swarm and the fish swarm rushed into Ye An's mind, intertwined and collided constantly. Ye An needed to concentrate to suppress it. Although the head didn't hurt, the taste was also very uncomfortable.

The frog swarm came prepared, ignoring the obstruction of the fish shoal. As the leader honked, nearly a thousand mutated frogs climbed together like an arhat. The top mutated frog stepped on the back of its companion, kicked hard with its hind legs, and shot towards the fish like a cannonball. Group of bullets fired over.

Sensing the intention of the mutated frog, the colorful fish swam quickly, and the formation changed from dense to loose, and then formed a long line, jumped out of the water like a long chain, and rushed to the opponent head-on, trying to intercept the forward frog group in mid-air.

Ye An could guess what attracted the mutated frogs, and immediately drew out his long knife, and fought against the frogs together with the school of fish.If these mutated frogs break through the defense and rush into the waters of the sunken ship, the consequences will definitely be bad.

When the long knife was swung, more than a dozen mutated frogs were separated from their heads, their stomachs were ripped open, and their flesh and internal organs were floating in the water, being scrambled by the mutated snails at the bottom of the river.

In the battle, the school of colorful fish and the school of frogs each suffered casualties, but generally speaking, the school of fish had the upper hand.But the number of mutated frogs is several times that of colorful fish, and they are constantly gathering, and if they continue to be consumed, the fish school will definitely be swallowed.

Sensing that something was wrong, Ye An swung a knife to cut off the forelimb of a mutated frog, jumped onto its back, and jumped amidst the angry frog croaking, using his feet constantly to swiftly shuttle among the frogs.

Wherever he passes, there must be mutated frogs with their brains cracked and their bodies separated.

As the number of dead companions increased rapidly, the frog group regarded Ye An as the biggest threat. More mutated frogs abandoned the colorful fish and began to surround Ye An. Their mucus tongues popped out quickly. get entangled.

Several mutated frogs seized the opportunity to wrap Ye An's arm and long knife, and the huge pulling force almost dragged him into the water.

Ye An couldn't stand stably, and there were gaping mouths all around him. At the most critical moment, several colorful fishes suddenly jumped over the frogs and cut off the tongues of the frogs with their bone wings, but they fell one after another because they couldn't stay in the air for a long time. The frog was torn to pieces on the spot, and the remaining few were also in danger.

Seeing this situation, Ye An gave up his long knife, jumped at the changing frog that was biting the colorful fish, grabbed the frog's tongue with his bare hands, and pulled off several pieces of tongue on the spot.Immediately afterwards, the fist smashed the frog's head, and with the sound of bone cracking, Ye An's whole arm penetrated in, grabbed the sticky brains, and pulled it out forcefully.

The mutated frog died on the spot, and his death was extremely miserable.

Ye An stepped on the giant frog, his dark eyes scanned the surroundings, and his will spread endlessly.

There was a commotion in the frog group, and the fear began to spread.

Above the stone forest in the distance, a large group of monitor lizards suddenly raised their heads, their icy vertical eyes turned to the upper reaches of the dark river, and after a few breaths, they climbed down the strange rock, swung their limbs and thick tails, and went upstream at an astonishing speed, attacking behind the frogs .

At the same time, Uncle Wang who was staying in the cave suddenly stopped, told Xiao Zhu and Mi Luo to stay in the cave, grabbed his weapon and rushed out of the cave.

The moment he rushed out of the cave, ear-piercing frog cries suddenly sounded.

In front of the cave, under the suspended stone bridge, the eyes of the frogs lit up one by one. Countless mutated frogs gathered in the dark underground, staring at the cave emitting energy, and making greedy frog cries.
