Ye An

The hot soup boiled again, and the cut venison rolled in the pot, and the soup splashed out of the pot, exuding a rich aroma.

The cold wind howled in the night, occasionally blowing the curtains, and flickering light came out from the gaps, it was the night watchmen patrolling the camp with torches.

Ye An poked the panda's head and pinched its round ears. The panda raised its paws to hug its head, forming a ball of fur. It made a fuzzy whimpering sound, as if losing its temper, making it even more cute.

Sensing the panda's emotions, Ye An chuckled, didn't poke it again, got up and walked to the stove, lifted the lid of the pot that was constantly being lifted by the heat, and a scent rushed towards him, making his stomach growl uncontrollably stand up.

Only then did he remember that he hadn't eaten anything all day except for a few pieces of jerky in the morning.

Ye An picked up the wooden chopsticks placed beside him, picked up a piece of venison and blew it, it was still a little hot when he put it in his mouth.When he bit it down, the rich soup poured into his mouth, Ye An was so hot that he inhaled, while fanning his mouth with his hands, he chewed quickly a few times, and swallowed the stewed meat into his stomach.

The meat was braised just right, with soft, sticky tubers inside.The tubers saturate the soup and taste surprisingly good.

Kapok only brought an iron pot, wooden chopsticks and a spoon, but no soup bowl.

Ye An didn't pick it up, but took the soup pot off the stove.When the broth was no longer so hot, I picked up chopsticks and a spoon, and took a mouthful of stewed meat and broth, and soon the pot bottomed out.

Some of the tubers have been stewed and melted in the pot, making the soup thicker.Ye An scooped up a spoonful and put it into his mouth. The tuber granules were wrapped on the stewed meat, which was chewy yet soft, quite delicious.

There is also a kind of mutated plant particles in the seasoning. Although it has been stewed for a long time, it has not melted like a tuber. The fragrance is combined with the rich broth flavor. Before he knows it, the whole pot of broth is eaten, and Ye An is surprised. last.

Standing up and walking back and forth in the tent, the feeling of fullness in his stomach gradually disappeared, before Ye An sat down again, picked up the drawing that was put aside, and continued to study the lines on the paper, intending to find more clues that could be connected.

The cold wind blows one after another, and the women patrolling in the night quickened their pace, and patrolled the entire camp before the wind and snow became bigger.

The fences and tents were strong, there was no danger of blowing them out, and the children were fast asleep.

The women were still uneasy, reinforced several fences, smashed them with their fists, and did not move. Then they nodded in satisfaction and gathered in front of Kapok's tent one after another.

After exchanging information with each other, two people were left to keep watch in case of emergencies, and the rest returned to the tent to rest and replace them later.

As everyone fell asleep one after another, the camp gradually fell into silence, except for Ye An's tent and the torches of the night watchmen, there was no fire in sight.

Wolves howled in the wind, and it was the wolves on the island hunting their prey.

Not long after, a thunderous sound of hooves came from a distance, and the night watchwoman rushed to the fence, followed the wooden ladder to a high place, and looked in the direction of the sound by the light of the fire.

In the snow, a group of mutated deer with curved horns on their heads were rushing towards the river.Behind the herd of deer were more than 20 mutant wolves, each of which was fat and strong, with thick hair, flowing and flying like satin when running.

The silver wolf in the lead howled, and the wolves changed their strategy during the pursuit and divided into three teams, one was responsible for chasing, and the other two outflanked from left and right.When the deer are forced to turn, they will pounce on the locked target.

During the hunting process, the wolves made strategies at any time, forcing the deer to run away from the camp and dense forest all the way to the open river.

Ye An walked out of the tent, came to the camp to check, and quickly locked on the Silver Wolf King who had a deep connection with him.

The wolf king sensed Ye An's gaze and slowed down in chasing the deer.Seeing the target, he was about to get away, so he quickly accelerated his speed, passed several members of the group one after another, and rushed towards a stag that had been locked on for a long time.

This male deer was already old, and his right hind leg was injured, so it was not affected by his activities with the herd. Once he was chased by hunters and ran at high speed for a long time, his speed would inevitably drop, he could not keep up with the team, and gradually fell to the end of the group.

Ye An climbed to the high place, declined the torch offered by the night watchman, and tightened his cloak.Without the aid of firelight, he could see clearly what was happening outside the camp.

The old stag was overtaken, and the wolf king rushed up and bit its neck.The stag struggled hard and flew two mutant wolves up in the fight, but it still couldn't change the result of excessive blood loss and finally killed the wolf.

The buck fell to the ground, its legs became stiff, and it gradually became still.

The herd stopped briefly to try to rescue the member.The wolves had been prepared for a long time and sent several members to chase after them, forcing the deer to continue running and had to abandon their dead companions.

The captured stag weighs hundreds of catties and can provide a feast for the wolves.

The wolf king raised his head and let out a long howl, calling the members of the group.

The mutated wolves who expelled the deer returned one after another, and according to their status in the group, they stepped forward to tear their prey and took their own share.

The wolves ate in an orderly manner, and none of the wolves dared to challenge the wolf king.

Surprisingly, the Wolf King took out the stag's heart and liver, and instead of eating all of them, sent some to the camp, raised his head in Ye An's direction, and then turned and left.

The woman on the fence looked at Ye An, waiting for his order.

"Stay here, don't follow."

Ye An has always been in contact with the wolf king, and he can clearly capture each other's thoughts and emotions.The deer heart and deer liver were given to him by the wolf king, so he will be fine when he goes down.If others follow up, there is no guarantee that no accident will happen.

He once reached an agreement with the wolf king that the wolves would not take the initiative to attack Kapok's camp.But this is not absolute.Walking out of the pen while the wolves are eating is considered a provocation.Without Ye An's ability, it is definitely not a good idea to provoke such a large wolf pack.

Ye An took the rope from the woman, quickly wrapped it around his waist, and slid down the fence.

When building the camp, Kapok drew on the experience of settlements, and when leading people to build the fence, he deliberately made a certain slope.When encountering a mutant beast or an outsider attack, such an angle will make it difficult for the opponent to climb, leaving sufficient preparation time for the people in the camp.

Ye An descended along the fence, using his legs to borrow strength midway to avoid falling too fast.Putting the rope at the end, Ye An untied the rope buckle, took advantage of the momentum, jumped, and landed firmly on the ground.

The wolves were alarmed and looked over one after another. When they found that it was Ye An, they quickly looked away and continued to tear the venison.

Just as Ye An was about to pick up the deer heart, a huge roar suddenly came from the river, mixed with the angry and frightened cries of the deer herd, tearing through the cold wind and sweeping past the ears, it was shocking.

The sound awakened everyone, and the camp quickly lit up with fire.

The hunter's camp not far away was also bright. Not long after, three modified vehicles sped out from the camp, and one of them stopped in front of Ye An. Xiao Yun poked his head out of the window and told Ye An that he was going to Take someone to the river to find out.

"Together?" Xiao Yun said to Ye An with one arm on the side of the car window.

Ye An looked back at Mu Mian and others who walked out of the camp. He wanted them to go back, but changed his mind halfway, leaving Mu Mian and a few strong women behind, and the rest temporarily returned to the camp, waiting for his news.

After most people left, Ye An jumped into Xiao Yun's modified car, Mu Mian and others did not board the car, but stepped on the sled, and followed the convoy without slowing down at all.

Sitting in the carriage, Ye An asked Xiao Yun how confident he was in finding out during the day.

"Fifty percent, now it's seventy percent."

As early as when the Jincheng people left, Xiao Yun told Ye An about his discovery.Due to the exchange of thoughts, only two people knew about the matter and did not disclose it to others.

According to the agreement between the two, they will go to the river after the snow stops and find out in the river.Unexpectedly, the hunting of the wolves disrupted their plans.

The modified car was speeding along the river, and in the night, a large group of blurred shadows appeared in front of it.

The shadow is entrenched in the river, every movement can set off a large splash of water, causing the sound of roaring water, and trying to sweep away the mutant deer struggling in the water.

Seeing the situation in the water, Ye An's expression became serious.

It was a thick tentacle, even if it wasn't fully extended, it was more than two meters long.It is self-evident who the owner of the tentacles is.

In the entire delta, there is only one place where this creature exists.

"It's a mutated octopus." Xiao Yun said in a deep voice.

"Obviously they're all killed." Ye An suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking, and he suddenly remembered that he and Xiao Yun hadn't explored all of the sunken ship.

The appearance of this mutated octopus proves that there is still an undiscovered danger in the sunken ship.It can run out of the sunken ship and appear in the river on the edge of the isolated island. Does it mean that other species in the sunken ship can also come out, such as tiger sharks that have adapted to the freshwater environment.

"Take care of the immediate troubles first, and we'll talk about the rest later." Xiao Yun held the steering wheel and dragged Ye An back from his contemplation.

"You're right." Ye An nodded, suppressing the worries in his heart, and locked his eyes on the octopus raging in the river.

Locked by Ye An, the mutated octopus's movements stagnated, and the tentacles waving in mid-air suddenly froze.The herd of deer turned around and rushed to the river bank one after another, away from the monster in the river.

Not long after the deer herd escaped, a large vortex appeared in the water around the mutated octopus, and sharp bony spurs emerged from the vortex. It was a large group of bone fish summoned by Ye An.
