Ye An

Nearly two thousand mutant monkeys gathered in the canyon, screaming and rushing towards the stone platform where Ye An and Xiao Yun were.

As the cry came out of the canyon, everyone in the camp stopped what they were doing, climbed up to a high place, and looked towards the direction of the canyon. Their expressions became serious and worries appeared in their eyes.

Everyone was anxious, but because of Xiao Yun and Ye An's instructions, they couldn't leave the camp. They could only take turns to climb on the roof of the car and raise their eyes, hoping to see the figures of the two returning.

"Why are there so many mutant monkeys?" Mu Mian frowned, climbed onto the roof of the RV, and stood beside Jason.

Jason squatted on the roof of the car, holding a huge ax in both hands, with a stern expression, not at all relaxed like usual.

The night wind blew in, and the bonfire in the camp jumped, bursting into two-meter-high flames.

The hot soup was boiling in the pot, and the aroma of the food was pervasive, but no one thought about serving the meal. They let the hot soup splash out of the pot, and the barley cakes were roasted by the fire to form a layer of burnt skin.

Suddenly, the hunter in charge of the lookout issued an alarm: "There is a situation!"

Several huge black shadows appeared in the night sky, with a wingspan of more than two meters, and the largest was nearly three meters.

The black shadow covered the sky like a dark cloud, and flew close, flapping its powerful wings, almost flying the hunter on the roof of the car.

The hunter reacted quickly, dropped the dagger in his hand, grabbed the edge of the window with both hands, swung his body, and slid into the car like a fish.

The raptor lost its claws and did not continue to entangle. It flapped its wings and rose into the sky, continuing to fly towards the canyon.

Everyone in the camp was always vigilant, short knives were useless, and they drew their long bows one after another. The bow strings were like a full moon, and the sharp arrows pointed straight at the sky.

Birds of prey flew over the camp one by one, not afraid of the fire.Under the shadow of the huge figure, even experienced hunters can't help but feel their scalps tingling.

Jason and Mu Mian jumped off the roof and leaned against the car body to avoid being attacked behind them.He took the bows and arrows from his companions one after another, and drew the bowstring to the full, but did not release the arrows immediately to prevent further angering the threat in the sky.

A huge shadow hovered over the camp, lingering for a long time.

The roaring and chirping in the direction of the canyon caught their attention, and they finally gave up on the target in the camp, followed their companions, and rushed to the planned hunting ground.

The shadow gradually receded, and everyone still dared not relax. They didn't wipe off the cold sweat from their foreheads until they were sure that the crisis was over.

When putting down the longbow, many people's palms were sweaty, and even the bowstrings were dripping with sweat.

Meeting such a huge bird of prey for the first time, without Ye An's ability, most people would tense up, and everyone in the camp was no exception.

In the canyon, Ye An and Xiao Yun were trapped on the stone platform, surrounded by monkeys roaring in all directions.

Mutated monkeys of different ethnic groups joined together, outflanking and approaching from the rock wall.

Led by the largest howler monkey, the group of monkeys stared fiercely at the target on the stone platform, bared their fangs, broke off sharp stones, and threw them over while screaming.

Gravel rained down, covering the entire stone platform, and the rock walls connected by the stone platform were not spared.

What the monkeys lack in accuracy, they make up for in numbers.A large number of stones fell down at the same time, cracks appeared in the ice wall formed by Xiao Yun, and it became precarious amidst the continuous beating sound.

Ye An activated his ability, and mutant monkeys fell from high places one after another, and either died or were injured when they fell to the ground.

But unlike in the daytime, instead of deterring the group of monkeys, the deaths and injuries of their companions made them even more berserk, attacking wave after wave.Soon, a nimble mutant monkey jumped onto the ice wall, grabbed the stone and gouged it vigorously, and the situation became more critical.

Ye An was about to activate his ability further, when the cry of the monkeys suddenly changed, the monkeys jumping on the ice wall stopped, looked up at the sky, and saw the shadows jumping down, their eyes full of fear.

Horn carving!

Ye An locked onto the black shadow in the air, his pitch-black eyes projected huge wings and a unique figure, and he quickly recognized that it was a group of mutated horned eagles.

Generally speaking, horned eagles do not appear in groups and prefer to travel alone.However, there are too many mutant monkeys in the canyon, and once they gather together, it will be a big trouble for predators.

During the long-term confrontation, the mutated horned eagles living nearby gradually developed their unique sociality. They began to cooperate in hunting and share the canyon and the prey in the valley.

Every time the horned eagles come, they will cause a lot of losses to the monkeys.

Finding the trace of the natural enemy, the mutant monkey issued a sharp siren, gave up revenge on Ye An Xiaoyun, and fled quickly on the rock wall, trying to get into the cave to avoid the sharp claws of the horned eagle.

The horned eagles have rich experience. They give up the monkeys that are too small and focus on the largest group. They lower their heights one after another to block the escape route of the mutant monkeys.

The sharp claws easily crush the skulls of prey and break their spines.The mutant monkey let out a short and desperate scream, and stopped breathing when it was taken high into the sky by the horned eagle.

Horned eagles travel through the canyon like a hurricane passing through the dark night.

Evolutionary variation has given them the ability to hunt at night, no less than nocturnal birds.

The dry season is the time when harpy eagles raise their chicks, and they need to bring back more food for their young and nest guard mates.

This has caused heavy losses to the monkey population, especially the largest howler monkeys. The stronger they are, the more they will become the targets of horned eagles.

The strongest males are the first to be targeted, and one by one they are snatched from the rock face.Members of the group took the opportunity to escape into the cave, and some moved slowly, and were directly captured by the horned eagles from the entrance of the cave.

A total of eight horned eagles flew into the canyon, and they were only the first batch.There will be a second batch and a third batch soon.What's more terrible is that the first batch to come are all males, and when they replace the females in the nest, those larger female horned eagles will bring disaster to the monkey group.

For monkeys, in the breeding and brooding season of horned eagles, a little carelessness will lead to disaster.

The attack methods they have evolved are effective for most species, but they cannot deal with horned eagles.Every time the horned eagles come, the only thing they can do is to escape, escape into the cave, and do everything possible to avoid this group of terrible hunters.

A horned eagle flew past the stone platform and grabbed the howler monkey hiding under the stone platform.

As it flew over the ice wall, the horned eagle vibrated its wings and set off a gust of wind.

The ice wall shattered on the spot, and Ye An and Xiao Yun quickly retreated into the cave to avoid being accidentally injured by the horned eagle.No matter how bad the smell in the cave is, it is better than being caught as prey like a howler monkey.

Ye An tried to assimilate the horned eagle, but found it difficult to perceive the other party's emotions.

That doesn't mean horned eagles aren't smart.

On the contrary, they have a unique ability to respond, which can effectively block Ye An's ability, close any possible connection with each other, and prevent themselves from being affected in the slightest.

This was the first time Ye An encountered such a situation.However, the situation was urgent and he couldn't allow him to think too much, so he and Xiao Yun hid in the cave to ensure his own safety first.

The horned eagle captured the howler monkey and did not stay near the stone platform for long.The huge body couldn't enter the cave, so without wasting energy, it quickly flew away with wings flapping, pounced on the easier target.

Ye An and Xiao Yun leaned against the end of the cave, neither of them made a sound, but held their breath and listened carefully to the sounds outside the cave.

Suddenly, Ye An noticed something strange, and after signaling to Xiao Yun, he turned around and put his ear against the rock wall.

The sound of running water came from behind the rock wall, accompanied by the sound of knocking gold and stone.

As the distance approached, Ye An faintly noticed that there was spar energy behind the rock wall, and it was huge.In comparison, the crystallized animal bones next to the hot spring are not worth mentioning at all.
