Ye An

In the blink of an eye, the river channel was covered with solid ice, the river water froze, and a cold white light appeared on the surface.

The monitor lizard was dehydrated at the last moment and quickly climbed up the river bank, fortunately it was not frozen by the ice.

Strange fish and mutated frogs did not have such luck. One counted as one, all of them were frozen in the transparent ice, maintaining the posture of the last moment before they were alive. They looked extremely fresh, but they had already lost their lives and stopped breathing.

The largest monster fish kept jumping out of the water, its eyeballs bulged, its huge mouth opened, and half of its body protruded from the ice.The two parasites struggled out of the fish's mouth, twisted and swayed on the ice, and were soon covered by frost, turning into stones in the cold wind.

The coldness spread rapidly, the ice layer continued to expand, and the river water was frozen piece by piece, gradually stopping its flow.The entire river channel turned into an ice-solid promenade, and time stood still in the ice, and the most turbulent water flow was no longer the turbulent rush of the past.

The three of Camille walked all the way, and encountered a magnificent scene of ice covering and spreading.While being amazed, feeling the coldness in the air, the three of them sneezed, rubbed their noses, and tightened their animal skin coats.

The cold reminded them of that blizzard-ravaged night.

If they hadn't gone to Ye An, if the latter hadn't taken them in, there was a [-]% chance that they would have been buried in the blizzard, frozen in the cold wind, and died on that terrible night.

On the bank of the river, Ye An approached to observe the ice surface, and saw a strange fish half-frozen on the ice, hitting the stiff parasite with the back of a knife.With a click, the parasite broke off from the fish's mouth, the fracture was smooth and flat, and no drop of blood flowed out.The broken half of the worm's body rolled down the ice, was smashed several times by Ye Anlian, and soon fell to pieces, dying beyond death.

"Thank you." Ye An withdrew his long knife, turned around and thanked Xiao Yun.

"No need." Shaking his head, Xiao Yun explained the purpose of this trip to Ye An, and informed the other party that the mutant snapping turtle promised to him had been delivered and was on the island at this moment.Then he changed the subject and pointed at the frog eggs under the ice, "This won't kill them completely."

"What?" Ye An was surprised.

"These parasites are very difficult to kill, especially the larvae hidden in the frog eggs, which are more tenacious than adults and must be burned with fire." Xiao Yun said seriously, "Six years ago, this strange fish appeared near Hunter City. There were less than a hundred fishes in the whole river, but the fish schools in the whole river became extinct, and even the underwater shellfish were not spared. Various methods were tried in the city, and it was finally proved that only high temperature can completely kill these parasites, including the river below. Clean up."

Knowing that Xiao Yun would not be aimless, Ye An quickly made a decision to let Lily of the Valley grow more vines, and personally cut and transported the ice blocks that wrapped the strange fish, mutated frogs and frog eggs to the ground, and then collectively set them on fire.

"grown ups!"

The three of Camille rushed back and just saw Ye An's actions, they put down their weapons and ran up to help.

The ice in the river was quickly cut into chunks, tied and dragged with vines, and sent all the way to the bottom of the pool.

The rattan wall under the rock wall was untied, and Mi Luo and Xiao Zhu came out, led by the bat group, to the cave where Uncle Wang was hiding.Xiaozhu has the wound medicine prepared by Lily of the Valley, no matter how serious Uncle Wang's injury is, as long as he doesn't stop breathing, his wound can be healed.

Milo forcibly used the power, and his body was wasted again. Fortunately, with the medicine of lily of the valley and the spar provided by Ye An, he has almost recovered at this moment. As long as he doesn't try to be brave, his body should be fine.

Before the two left, Ye An further assimilated the bat to ensure the safety of Xiao Zhu and Mi Luo along the way.Then he was busy with the three of Camille, hoping to send the ice to the ground as soon as possible to completely solve this sudden trouble.

"I come."

Because the ground is full of stones, it is quite laborious to drag the ice. Xiao Yun paved the ice road again and extended upwards to the ice bridge. The speed at which the vines dragged the ice instantly increased several times.

The section of the river with the highest concentration of strange fish and frog eggs was emptied first, and the mud and shellfish at the bottom of the river were dug out and sent to the ground for burning to ensure that no hidden dangers were left behind.

Camille pointed out that they also encountered mutant frogs when they came here. Ye An and Xiao Yun decided to go retrograde along the river. Whenever they encountered frozen frog eggs and mutant frogs, they would cut them up and send them away immediately.

The mutant dog followed Xiao Yun and jumped into the pool, but was one step behind him.I didn't catch up with the fight with the strange fish, but met Ye An delivering ice cubes to the ground.

Seeing Ye An, the mutated dog immediately rushed over and circled his calf, then bit the rope according to the instructions, ran on the ice, transported more ice cubes to the water pool, and stayed in place to drive away the attracted little ones. beast to avoid accidents.

The flock of birds flew along the river, circling above Ye An and Xiao Yun's heads, and whenever they found something strange, they would make a chirping sound, guiding them to go quickly.

With Xiao Yun's help, cutting and removing the ice cubes became very easy.In order to thank the other party, Ye An touched his body, without any other gifts, he simply took out the last few queen ant crystals and handed them to Xiao Yun face to face.

"You don't need so much." Xiao Yun didn't refuse Ye An's thanks, but he didn't accept all of them either. He only took two pieces and pushed the rest back to Ye An.

"Not much, I have one more thing to ask for your help." Ye An said.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Yun asked curiously.

"There is a sunken ship in front of me. I don't know how long it has been sunk. The hull is all underwater, and I can't get in by myself."

After the last batch of ice was removed, the flock of birds continued to circle above the river, looking for places where they might have left behind.Ye An and Xiao Yun walked to the shore, explained how the sunken ship was discovered, roughly told the location of the sunken ship, and the clues discovered by the colorful fish.

"You said that the keel of that ship is the bone of a strange beast?" Xiao Yun's voice became slightly tense.

"Yes, more than [-]% sure." Ye An nodded, explained the last discovery in detail, and said, "I can't hold my breath underwater for a long time, and I can't find out the inside of the hull. But I can be sure, then There's definitely something good hiding on board."

Xiao Yun was silent for a moment, then said to Ye An: "I promise you."

"Thank you!"

Xiao Yun stopped Ye An, and said to him: "If I guess correctly, that ship is probably related to Haicheng."

"Haicheng?"

"The keel of the hull is made of alien beast bones. As far as I know, only Haicheng has this kind of craftsmanship, which can manufacture similar ships. Since the destruction of Haicheng, the skill of making keels with alien animal bones has also been annihilated. Merchant City, which is best at shipbuilding, can't build a similar big ship. Jincheng has tried, but unfortunately it didn't work." Xiao Yun explained.

Ye An looked at Xiao Yun, and many questions came to his mind. He unexpectedly sensed Xiao Yun's emotions at the moment, and his intuition told him that now is not the best time to get to the bottom of it.

sad.

Even if it was only for a moment, Ye An didn't think it was his own illusion.

The two fell silent, the words disappeared, and only the howling of the cold wind blowing across the ice, and the flapping of the wings of the birds hovering in the air were in their ears.

The arrival of the mutated python broke the silence.

Through the connection with each other, Ye An found that the mutant python was very wary of Xiao Yun, even with a hint of hostility.Thinking back carefully on Xiao Yun's experience of coming to the island before, it is not difficult to imagine why the mutant python has such emotions.

The black letters touched Ye An's shoulders, conveying worry and anger.

Ye An covered the scales at the corner of the mutated python's mouth with one hand, trying to comfort the other party as much as possible, so that the mutated python's emotions calmed down, and it was no longer as irritable as before.

Xiao Yun watched this scene quietly, without making a sound.It wasn't until Ye An withdrew his hand that he said, "That time it took you away."

Ye An raised his eyebrows, but said nothing.

To be honest, it was not a memorable experience.

At that time, the relationship between the two was not good, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they were enemies.Having had the experience of being stuck in the snow field, Xiao Yun was a real threat in his eyes, no less than a mutant beast, and would endanger his life at all times.

Now that the situation has changed, for Ye An, Xiao Yun is no longer an enemy, at least not for a short time.So, can the two be called friends?

Ye An crossed his arms and looked at the other party with an inexplicable look.Seeing that Xiao Yun was uncomfortable, Ye An coughed slightly, then Ye An shrugged his shoulders and looked away.

The flocks of birds came back one after another, and no strange fish or mutated frogs were found in the river, and naturally no frog eggs were found either.

Different from the strange fish from outside, the fish schools in the underground river have long adapted to the cold environment. Even if they are frozen, they will not die immediately, but will only fall into a state of suspended animation.When the ice breaks and melts, except for a few unlucky ones, most of them will soon return to life.

The only thing that didn't fit in was the mantis prawns.

Fortunately, before the river froze, most of the mantis shrimp had rushed to the shore to avoid this catastrophe.It's just that they were not completely lucky, they were spotted by the circling flock of birds, and met Ye An and Xiao Yun, the biggest ones were caught on the spot and became a delicious meal for the flock.

Ye An also grabbed one, twisted off the head of the shrimp, opened the shell, and cut off a piece of crystal clear shrimp meat. He wanted to put it directly into his mouth, but suddenly stopped, quickly found a few vines to light a fire, and roasted it until it was cooked. Only then feel relieved.

After eating three mantis prawns, the two threw their shells into the fire, decided not to move forward, and turned back to the way they had come.

Before exploring the sunken ship, Ye An needs to burn all the strange fish, mutated frogs and frog eggs first, and then make arrangements for Mu Mian and others to receive the mutated snapping turtle sent by Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yun had to go back to the motorcade first, and told everyone that he would stay on the island temporarily.Under the uncertain time, half of the people need to return to the city, and the other part stays in the delta temporarily, and then set off after he resolves the matter.

The two returned to the rock wall, and Lily of the Valley had already spawned vines to clean up the mess. Through Lily's mouth, Ye An learned that Uncle Wang had been safely taken out of the hiding place and had been sent to the cave to rest.

"The injury is serious and he needs to rest for a long time. I will prepare more medicine to ensure that he can recover quickly."

The three of Camille obeyed Suzuran's command and were working hard.Ye An waved to them, signaling them to stay here, and then went to the bottom of the pool with Xiao Yun, grabbed the rope that was hanging down, and climbed up one after another.
