Ye An

As night fell, several thick lightning bolts fell from the sky, tearing apart the thick clouds and illuminating half of the night sky.

A strong wind suddenly rose on the river surface, and waves of water rose up with the wind, slapping on the hull and deck.

The crew and sailors of Yancheng and Heicheng were imprisoned, and it was difficult to control seven large ships with only a hundred hunters.The coolies in Heicheng offered to help, Zijing also led the women out of the cabin and onto the deck, found Ye An who was standing with Xiao Yun, and offered to help.

When the women appeared, their bodies and faces were covered with red marks, which were the blood of the people of Yancheng.The rain washed away, washing away the bright red on their bodies, and also swept away the darkness that had been there for a long time.

"Are you sure?" Ye An asked Bauhinia, not because he didn't trust them, but because he was worried about whether their physical strength could support them.

"Don't worry, we can assure you that there will be no problems." Bauhinia slammed the ground, and the women nodded vigorously.

"it is good."

Ye An told Xiao Yun about the matter, and the latter was worried about manpower.The appearance of the women just solved the urgent need.

"I'll take people to other ships, contact me if there is anything to do." Xiao Yun nodded his forehead, expressing that Ye An can assimilate himself, and he doesn't need to have previous scruples.

"Okay." Ye An nodded.

After the two discussed it properly, Xiao Yun waved to Jason and the others, left the boat where Ye An was, boarded a nearby warship by rope, and connected several boats together to avoid being washed away by the raging river.

"Bauhinia, I'll leave it to you." Ye An said.

Zijing took a deep breath, quickly pointed out two women, and entered the cab with her.The rest stayed on the deck, picked up the ropes on the ground, and wrapped them round and round around their waists.

After fixing herself, the woman on the deck began to manipulate the sails, trying to keep the big ship out of the strong wind, even if it was bumping in the water, there would be no danger of capsizing.

Water waves kept rushing up the deck, the waves were several meters high, and crashed towards Ye An and the women.

The women were washed to the edge of the deck, relying on the side of the boat to stay in the water.Three people were injured by sliding boxes and planks, and the blood was running down the arms, and the wounds quickly turned white.

"Careful, catch me!" Ye An stretched out his arms towards the women.

But the woman on the side of the boat shook her head at him, did not hold his hand, waited for the next wave to rise, slid along the shaking deck, slid all the way to the edge of the mast, and quickly threw out the rope. Stabilize yourself with all your strength.

The women can't speak, can't communicate with language, but they have lived together since childhood, and they have a perfect understanding with each other.Even if you can't speak, with just one movement and one look, the other party will know what to do and how to help.

As the women lowered the sails, the Bauhinia trio in the cockpit gradually started to get used to it. Ye An stood on the deck, looking like he had nothing to do, and instead got in the way.

"My lord, just leave it to Zhizi and the others, you don't need to stay there!"

Bauhinia walked out of the cab and signaled Ye An to enter the cabin and not to stay on the deck.

After confirming that the women were all right, Ye An turned around and returned to the cabin, wiped off the rain on his face, and was about to tear off the wet clothes when he realized the three of them, and the hand on the neckline suddenly stopped.

Seeing Ye An's movements, knowing what he was going to do, and seeing the expression on his face, Zijing smiled, groped around the wall, knocked, and quickly found the hidden door in the cab, and dragged out a wooden box.In the trunk were some clean coats, of good workmanship and material, which must have belonged to the captain.

"My lord, put it on." Zijing handed the clothes to Ye An, without any discomfort, and urged Ye An to change quickly to avoid catching a cold.

"I'll go to the next door." Ye An knew what happened to the women, even if the three of Zijing didn't care, he wouldn't be careless, and he would always avoid what should be avoided.This is both polite and respectful.

"By the way, how did you think of this?" Ye An asked curiously, pointing to the secret door before leaving.

"Every ship has it." Zijing explained, "People who have lived on the ship all year round will basically know it."

Ye An nodded, did not continue to ask, quickly walked through the hatch, and entered the room next to the cockpit.

Watching him disappear behind the door, Zijing returned to the bridge and looked out through the window. The people on the deck had already controlled the situation. Even if there was a wave, they could calmly deal with it. May fall into water anywhere.

"I'll replace Gardenia in a moment." Zijing said to the woman beside her, "The rain hasn't reached its heaviest yet, and it will probably last all night. You take turns to rest. Remember, you must be careful, and you must not disappoint the trust that adults have placed in us." !"

The woman nodded at the same time, and tightened her hand holding the steering wheel.No matter how much the ship shakes and bumps, they will not leave their positions.

In the next room, Ye An found the lantern in the dark and lit it with a flint and steel.He can see in the dark, but if conditions permit, he will naturally not let it go unused.

The orange fire flickers under the lampshade, adding a touch of light to the interior.

Ye An glanced around and confirmed that this should be a lounge.

There is a narrow single bed against the wall, and a row of wooden shelves are nailed to the head of the bed. The bottles and cans on the shelves are all on the ground, most of them are made of wood and metal, so they will not break, and the contents inside are spilled. Ye An smelled a faint smell of alcohol.

Two other wooden bottles with weird shapes rolled to the corner of the wall. The stoppers on the bottle mouths were tightly plugged. Even though they slid around on the floor and bumped against the wall repeatedly, there was no sign of loosening.

Ye An quickly changed out of his wet clothes, the coat that Bauhinia found on the boat.

The material is very soft, not like animal skin, but like some kind of silk fabric.It's just that Ye An is not familiar with these, so he can't tell which one it is for a while.

The coat was a little too big, Ye An tied the belt around his waist, and the neckline on one side was still sliding down.After pulling it several times in a row, the knuckles touched the edge of the collarbone, causing a sharp pain.

Only then did Ye An realize that when he was standing on the deck and was hit by the waves, he was also injured.

The wound wasn't too long and didn't bleed much, but it was quite painful to touch.

Ye An groped with his fingers and found two protrusions on the edge of the whitened wound. He gritted his teeth and pulled out forcefully, and he took out the two wooden thorns from the wound.

The wood thorns are spindle-shaped, and both ends are sharp. If they were not discovered in time, they might penetrate deeper.At that time, another cut was needed on the wound to remove it.

Throwing the bloody wooden thorn on the table, Ye An took out the wound medicine that he carried with him, bit off the cork, and poured the medicine on the wound.

The women also carried wound medicines, and the hunters found them out of the cabin, and Ye Ante asked Xiao Yun for some, and gave them to the women to treat their wounds.

There was a sharp pain from the area covered by the potion, followed by a burst of coolness.

The light green medicine solidified into a paste, covering the edge of the collarbone, covering the scars cut by the wooden thorns, the swelling at the edge gradually subsided, and the whitening area gradually returned to normal.

Ye An put away the medicine bottle, turned the knob on the edge of the lantern, and the light suddenly became brighter.

The floor under his feet began to shake again. Ye An held down the table and stabilized his body. The wooden bottle leaning against the corner rolled to the edge of the table and was just blocked by the table legs.

When the shaking stopped, Ye An bent down to pick up the bottle, and found that there was a buckle embedded in the edge of the bottle mouth, which was very delicate, so that the bottle stopper would not come loose easily.

Ye An tried a few times, but the buckle did not move at all.

He lost his patience and simply opened the bottle with brute force.

With a blunt sound, he crushed the mouth of the bottle, and two oval fruits rolled out of it and fell on the table with a crisp sound.

Ye An picked up one, put it under his nose and smelled it, it didn't have any special smell.The shell was crushed again, and inside was white gelatinous pulp, like some kind of fruit.Peel off the outer pulp, and inside are dark seeds.Ye An couldn't tell the difference, but his intuition told him that it was a good thing.

He always believed in his intuition, immediately repacked the fruit, and decided to give it to Lily of the Valley after returning to the isolated island.

The wooden bottle could not be reused, so Ye An used local materials to make a bag out of animal skin, put the seeds in it, and tied it tightly with a rope.

After finishing all this, he was about to go to the cockpit next door when he suddenly heard a roar.

Different from the sound of thunder and water, the sound came from under the feet, as if the earth was being torn apart, and a ferocious giant beast was about to crawl out of the ground.

Accompanied by loud noises, red light appeared frequently on the dark bottom of the river, large pieces of rocks were broken, and sand and stones rolled.

Irregular cracks appeared little by little, from slow to fast, running through the riverbed in the blink of an eye.

Hot air rolled under the crack, red light appeared frequently, and the red magma was constantly flowing, and it might spew out at any time.

Ye An rushed out of the cabin and was brought to the side of the ship by the bumping hull.Clutching the board with both hands, activating the ability, the will was released to the limit.

The homing pigeons that had gone out to hunt for prey flew back from the heavy rain and landed on his shoulders, chirping anxiously.

Feedback from sea turtles and tiger sharks came one after another, and they all conveyed two words to Ye An: Danger!
