Ye An

Chapter 208

The benefits of setting up the trade zone on an isolated island can be imagined. Ye Anfei would not refuse, but would even agree with it.

The flood will not recede in a short time, and Zhao Weng's convoy will stay in the delta for a period of time until the situation permits.At that time, news of the establishment of a trade zone in the delta will also spread. This year's dry season and snow season, the isolated island must be very lively.

It was late at night when all the details were agreed upon.

Ye An took the time to rest and prepare for the departure tomorrow.

Xiao Yun and Ye An were in the same modified car, the bruise on his chin had faded, his fingers brushed the wound occasionally, his expression was still complicated.

The rain continued all night and showed no signs of abating by dawn.

Fortunately, there was no thunder and lightning, Ye An didn't plan to delay, exchanged a tent with Zhao Weng, communicated with the turtle, and with the help of Mu Mian and others, transported the tent and the needed supplies to the turtle's back.

The turtle colony split into two teams, and a small number, including juveniles, remained in the delta.The swarms of jellyfish floating from upstream are enough for them to prey on, and at the same time, they can solve the troubles of the delta, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.The large number went to Hunter City with Ye An.According to what Xiao Yun said, jellyfish swarms broke out in large numbers, and there would definitely be no shortage of food on the way.

As a thank you for his help, Ye An gave the turtle a few crystals.

Turtles also craved the energy of the spar, but did not enjoy it alone.After Ye An handed over the crystallized snapping turtle shell, he bit it open with his mouth and divided it into enough quantities for the whole family to devour, ensuring that each member could get a piece, not even two little turtles were left behind.

Apart from bamboo rats, sea turtles are the only species Ye An has seen that can easily break snapping turtle shells.

"Go back to Hunter City, and I will make it up to you." Xiao Yun said.

Ye An took out the snapping turtle shell, mainly to appease the turtles and make them agree to go with them.As the ultimate beneficiary, Xiao Yun naturally had to make a statement.

Everything was ready, Ye An took the lead on the turtle's back.

There was an episode in the middle, the turtle was too big and didn’t like ladders approaching, so Ye An had to grab the edge of the turtle’s back and climb up.However, the hand slipped in the rainy day, and one didn't pay attention, and almost fell into the mud.

Before Ye An could stand still, a sea turtle suddenly stretched its neck and picked him up with its mouth.

It happened very suddenly, not sure about the intention of the turtle, Xiao Yun immediately drew his sword out of its sheath, and Mu Mian and others also took up their weapons, their faces full of shock.

Ye An was bitten in the mouth by the sea turtle, so he couldn't move too much, so he could only stretch his arms as far as possible, and waved to everyone.

Hai Turtle didn't mean anything malicious, but felt that Ye An's movements were too slow, so he simply helped him.During the whole process, Ye An was not injured, but his body was covered with sea turtle's saliva and washed away by the rain, so it was not a big problem either.

Send him on the back of his companion, and the turtle opens its mouth.

Ye An patted the corner of Sea Turtle's mouth, expressing his gratitude.At the same time, you can see the sharp teeth all over the mouth of the sea turtle, and have a clearer understanding of the natural enemies of this jellyfish.

After Ye An stood still, he threw down the rope from above and motioned Xiao Yun to hold it.

After confirming that Ye An was fine, Xiao Yun put the knife back into its sheath, grabbed the flying rope with one hand, took two steps back, and then jumped up, his figure crossed the air and landed firmly beside Ye An.

The two quickly checked the tent and fastened the ropes fastened to the edge of the turtle's back. After confirming that there was no problem, Ye An waved to Mu Mian and Zhao Weng who were seeing them off, and then communicated with the turtle to signal that the team could start.

Turtles leave shallow water and enter deep water one after another.

The huge head sticks out of the water, and the powerful forelimbs paddle in the water, ignoring the turbulent water flow, and it is extraordinarily stable when moving forward.Even the frightening vortex can't pose a threat to the sea turtle group. The huge body passes through it easily, and the two people on the turtle's back can't even feel the slightest bump and shake.

The sea turtles went down the river, and encountered a lot of fish along the way, as well as aquatic creatures that Ye An had never seen before, most of which were shellfish, snails, river prawns and crabs.

There are some aquatic plant-like creatures that spread from underwater and float in the torrential river water. They don't seem to have any aggressiveness, but they quickly tighten when the fish pass by. They are jellyfish in disguise.

These jellyfish have strange habits and are not used to moving in groups, preferring to hunt alone.

They have the same sense of territory as mutant beasts, and only two to three of them can be accommodated in a certain range of river, usually one female and two males.

As the females separate their larvae, large numbers of small jellyfish appear in the river.

These young jellyfish are not immediately driven away, they can stay temporarily and get the protection of their parents.

Under the protection of their parents, baby jellyfish spend the most dangerous days of their lives.Once free to hunt alone, young jellyfish will voluntarily leave.It's not that they don't want to stay, but that if the time is too long, they will be regarded as intruders, they will not die in the hands of predators, they will also be killed by their parents, and they will even kill and devour each other.

This kind of mutated jellyfish appeared after the catastrophe, and the mutation was very special. It mixed the genes of several kinds of jellyfish, which was more terrifying than the box-shaped jellyfish that besieged Hunter City.

Ye An squatted down and leaned against the edge of the tortoise shell, seeing the turtle bite off the tentacles of the jellyfish, but he couldn't successfully suck the umbrella cover into his mouth as he did with other jellyfish. It is inevitable that some mutant jellyfish will be surprised.

Standing beside Ye An, Xiao Yun saw the jellyfish torn apart by the sea turtle, and said to Ye An, "This kind of jellyfish is very special. It is non-toxic inside, but its fighting power is very strong. It's just that I don't like to gather together, otherwise it will be a big trouble." .”

Ye An nodded. After seeing the scene of the turtle preying, he was about to stand up, but he didn't want to squat for a long time, his legs felt numb, and his body staggered.

Xiao Yun stretched out his hand to support him, Ye An did not show politeness to the other party, he pressed Xiao Yun's shoulder with one hand, and after standing still, he said with a smile: "Thank you."

"No need."

After eating all the jellyfish in the river, the turtle team continued to move forward.

As the current strengthened, the turtles retracted their forelimbs one after another, no longer expending their strength, and let the current push them forward, like floating islands.

On the way, the turtles switched positions, and some moved to the center. Under the protection of their companions, they closed their eyes and took a nap in the water.

The sky exploded with thunder, heralding the coming rainstorm.

Ye An and Xiao Yun returned to the tent, put down the curtain, and fastened the string on the edge of the curtain to effectively block the cold wind.

There was no fire in the tent. Ye An changed his rain-soaked coat, wrapped two blankets around his body, leaned against the wooden box covered with animal skins, propped up one long leg, and yawned lazily.

"Sleepy?" Xiao Yun asked.

"A little bit." Ye An shook his head, rubbed his eyes twice, he felt drowsy constantly, but he didn't plan to sleep, leaning back on the wooden box, propping his chin with one hand, trying to find a topic to chat with.

After thinking about it, I didn't think of a topic, but I became more and more sleepy.

He only slept for less than two hours before departure, and he kept vigilant all the way, so it was normal to feel sleepy.

"The road is still long, sleep for a while, I will pay attention to the situation." Xiao Yun sat opposite Ye An, with a long knife across his knees, his whole body was still cold, but his tone did not appear indifferent.

"Then I'll sleep for a while, and wake me up immediately if something happens." Ye An yawned again, got up and spread the animal skin, then lay down, with the blanket wrapped around his body, his head resting on his bent arms, half-closed He closed his eyes and said to Xiao Yun.

"Okay." Xiao Yun nodded.

Ye An closed his eyes, and when he was half asleep and half awake, he heard the sound of fabric rubbing in his ears. He opened his eyes and looked over, Xiao Yun moved to his side, raised his head, and placed it on his lap very naturally.

"It will be more comfortable."

Ye An moved, although it was a little cold, but as the other party said, it was much more comfortable than pillowing his arms.

The two had experienced life and death together several times, and this time they had to walk together again, but they didn't have many scruples. Ye An thanked Xiao Yun, continued to pillow on Xiao Yun's leg, and soon fell asleep.

Xiao Yun looked down at Ye An, fingered the hair that fell on his forehead, his shadow was clearly reflected in his eyes, he didn't move for a long time, and he didn't make any sound.

The rainstorm came as expected, and it fell on the tent, making a crackling sound.

Turtle pods moved in the river and easily maintained the same speed in the face of violent wind and rain.

On the way, the group of turtles passed a large plateau.

There are artificial stone pillars and stone walls on the high ground, and bluestone slabs are placed on top of the stone pillars and stone walls to form a solid platform.There are tents and wooden houses scattered on the platform, some are temporary structures, while others are old and have been used for a long time.

The people in front of the house found the group of turtles and immediately alerted their companions.

Everyone poked their heads out from the door and the curtains, first wary of the turtles approaching, and then looked at the tent on the turtle's back in amazement, almost unable to believe their eyes.

"There's someone up there?!"
