Ye An

Leaving the forest, the convoy moved along the river, passing a stone bridge washed down by the river, and found several broken stone piles and collapsed stone walls near the bridge.

The walls were left with traces of being hit, which were still very clear in the rain.

The corners of the walls and the bottom of the pillars are already covered with moss, and there are slender vines running through them, tangled together, and hanging flask-shaped flowers, which are impressive traps for predating insects.

The wheels rolled over the muddy puddles and slipped suddenly.

Before the hunter could stabilize the car, several dark red earthworms emerged from the mud pit and quickly wrapped around the wheels. The mucus on the surface of the body continued to corrode the tires, emitting bursts of pungent smell.

"Use a bow!"

Xiao Yun gave the order, and the three modified cars that were not entangled accelerated and surrounded the earthworms in a semicircle.

The hunters in the car quickly took their positions, and the hard black bow protruded from the window, and the flashing arrow pierced through the rain curtain, accompanied by the sound of breaking wind, and accurately pierced into the mutated earthworm.

The arrow is coated with a special drug, which can break through the protection of the mutated earthworm and effectively injure the target.

The arrow penetrated the skin of the mutated earthworm, and because of the pain, the earthworm began to roll on the ground, accidentally breaking the arrow shaft.

Another medicine flowed out from the broken arrow shaft and began to take effect. It soaked into the flesh and blood of the mutated earthworm with anesthetic ingredients, slowing down the movement of the earthworm, making it easier for the hunters to take further actions.

The earthworms entwined on the wheels were hit one after another, their bodies became slack, and they let go of the wheels one after another and collapsed to the ground, covered in mud, like criss-crossing ropes.

The bottom of the mud pit began to surge again, and the hunters immediately realized the danger without warning, and started their vehicles before the second wave of attacks came, rushing out of the trap as quickly as possible.

Ye An sat in the car and looked back through the car window. Behind the convoy, several dark red figures sprang out from the ground, like jets of magma, which turned into octopus tentacles in an instant, driving the mud to roll and surge.

Black soil and gravel were scattered in the rain, and after landing, large swaths of muddy water were splashed, covering the earthworms that were paralyzed by the arrows.

The second batch of mutated earthworms were bigger and more ferocious.Each head has serrated fangs, the mouth is open, and a circle of teeth extend inward in a spiral shape, which can easily tear the flesh and bones of the prey, looking extremely terrifying.

As the distance got farther and farther away, Ye An could still clearly see the huge mouths.

What's even more creepy is that the second batch of mutated earthworms didn't chase the convoy, but stayed where they were, scrambling for easier food—their kin.

The limp earthworms had no resistance, and were torn apart one by one by their companions.

The sound of biting and chewing came continuously, Ye An looked away, leaned his back heavily on the back of the chair, pinched the root of his nose with his fingers, and took a deep breath.

I accidentally sensed the emotions of the mutated earthworm just now. To be honest, it was definitely not a good experience.

He had encountered mutated earthworms before, but they were significantly different from the ones encountered here.The thoughts and emotions of these mutated earthworms were like twisted knots, exuding the smell of corruption, he never wanted to touch it a second time.

"Are you okay?"

Accompanied by Xiao Yun's voice, cold fingers covered Ye An's forehead.

"fine."

Ye An closed his eyes, raised his hand to press the back of Xiao Yun's hand, pulled his fingers to his eyes, and pressed them firmly.Covering his eyes with cool palms, Ye An let out a breath, and the discomfort finally began to disappear.

Jason in the front seat held the steering wheel firmly, carefully observed the road ahead, and accelerated without any abnormalities.

During the drive, Jason wisely kept his mouth shut and didn't make any sound when he saw the situation in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

For the next part of the road, the convoy did not encounter any major risks, only encountered a small group of migrating wild dogs on the way, and was slightly nervous for a while.

The wild dogs are hungry and need hunting urgently.But experience tells them that not everything can be hit.

After stopping for a while, the leader of the wild dogs barked, but the dogs turned and left one after another without attacking, disappearing into the torrential rain.

Time passed quickly, and night came quickly.

The last ray of sunlight disappeared, and darkness enveloped the earth.

The sky was covered with overcast clouds, and the dense clouds crowded each other without leaving any gaps, let alone the slightest bit of starlight and moonlight.

The convoy drove through the night, and the headlights pierced the darkness to illuminate the falling raindrops, stretching into patches.

The lights attracted many nocturnal mutant beasts, but fortunately, most of them were small ones acting alone, and there were few herds and large beasts that could pose a threat to the convoy.

Ye An sat in the car and fell asleep at some point.

A burst of elephant honking came to his ears, waking him up from his deep sleep.

Opening his eyes, Ye An was confused for a moment, and then found himself being protected by Xiao Yun in his arms, with his head resting on the other's shoulder, and his cheeks were a little numb, probably due to maintaining the same posture.

The elephant's honking gradually faded away, and the nocturnal lonely elephant obviously chose the opposite direction from the convoy.

Ye An raised his head and met Xiao Yun's eyes. The latter didn't speak, but brushed the corner of his mouth with his knuckles suggestively.

Seeing Xiao Yun's movements, Ye An subconsciously touched his chin, thinking it was drooling from a deep sleep, but he didn't touch anything.

With doubts, Ye An looked at Xiao Yun again.

City Lord Xiao had no expression on his face, but a smile welled up in his eyes, unexpectedly a little mischievous.

Ye An was speechless, and took two deep breaths. He planned to put on a serious expression, but in the end he was defeated. Wrapped by Xiao Yun's emotions, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and his smile was tinged with joy and relaxation.

"Thanks." Ye An straightened his body and moved his neck twice.She knew very well in her heart that Xiao Yun was worried about him and intended to let him relax.

"No need." Xiao Yun raised his hand to brush the hair from Ye An's forehead, and brushed the end of Ye An's eyebrows with his fingertips.

Xiao Yun's fingers were obviously cool, but Ye An felt a little hot unconsciously.

Suddenly, the moving body bumped. Jason reacted quickly and tried to stabilize the vehicle, but he still couldn't resist the speed of the wheels sinking.

"what happened?"

When the leaning body came to a stop, Ye An quickly pulled down the window and looked out, only to find that the wheels on one side of the body had fallen into a ground crack hidden under the mud.

To make matters worse, apart from the vehicle he and Xiao Yun were in, there were three other modified vehicles that were hit, intercepting the companions behind them, forcing the entire convoy to stop, unable to move forward.

Ye An pushed open the car door, carefully avoiding the cracks on the ground, and landed on both feet.

Standing in the rain to observe, he accidentally saw the landmark in the ape's memory. After further inspecting the surrounding terrain, he finally confirmed that this is where the Eluo warehouse is located, and it is also the destination they expected to find!

Xiao Yun got off the modified car and organized the hunters to pull the car out of the ground fissure to check for damage.

Ye An grabbed his arm, pointed to the dark mountain, especially the horn-like rock on the top of the mountain, and said seriously: "If I'm not mistaken, the warehouse should be here."
