Ye An

The herd of deer came from the north, passing through the dense forests and highlands occupied by predators. The strong stags came out in numbers and lined up in several rows at the front. The huge antlers were as sharp as knives, and the tips shone coldly.

When encountering lurking hunters, the herd of deer will not dodge or evade. Relying on the advantage of the number of groups, the tank group generally pushes across.

Huge hooves stepped across the river, splashing a large amount of mud.

The school of fish in the river was frightened and scattered, and if they slowed down a little, they would be trampled into a pulp by thousands of hooves.

Several mutated crocodiles were swimming in shallow water, waiting patiently for an opportunity.If the herd does not disperse, it is impossible to drag the old and the weak under the water to drown.

A few foxes wandered by the river bank, and seven or eight jackals hid in the stone forest, keeping an eye on the movements of the crocodiles, hoping that there would be chaos when the deer herd was attacked, and they could take advantage of the opportunity.

The deer herd was still some distance away from the isolated island. The wolves quickly tore apart the buffalo and devoured the best part of the meat. The bones and thick hide were thrown on the shore. Then they gathered and marched towards the north shore of the isolated island under the leadership of the wolf king. .There is a dense forest there, the roots of which are soaked in water but not rotted, and there are a lot of animal bones and gravel mixed in the middle, which is just convenient for the wolves to ambush and hide.

The herd of deer moved forward along the river. When the leading stag spotted the crocodile, he raised his lips and groaned. The speed of the herd gradually slowed down, but the group of more than a hundred stags suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the shallow water.

They do not come from one population, but are assembled by multiple populations. They migrate every year in the rainy season, separate briefly in the dry season, court and mate in the delta, and gather again in the snowy season.

When the deer herd arrived in the delta, there were many calves in the herd, and some female deer signaled to mate. Although the male deer did not fight, they had already begun to be restless.

Unfortunately for the first predators, they were too close to the deer herd and did not hide well enough. They were spotted by the bucks and became targets to vent their excess energy.

The crocodile has rough skin, thick flesh, and sharp teeth, but it can't hold back hundreds of rabid stags.

A large piece of mud was thrown up in the water. The five-meter-long mutant crocodile was lifted up by the antlers, and its four legs and tail swung vigorously. When it fell, it narrowly avoided the antlers.

The stags attacked the crocodiles with their horns, hooves, and even teeth. Although two stags were dragged into the mud and drowned, they managed to drive the crocodiles back, preventing them from approaching the deer easily.

The fox and the jackal witnessed the whole battle and found that the stag turned around and rushed towards them. They didn't dare to confront them directly, so they could only turn around and run away.

Just as a fox jumped off a high place, the stone pillar where he was hiding was broken by an antler.The stag raised its neck and flew the fox away. The sharp antlers cut open the fox's stomach, and the blood and internal organs instantly flowed all over the ground.

Survival in this cruel world depends not only on numbers.Bucks warn predators with action that they are not to be trifled with.

The dead fox was thrown to the ground, and the remaining jackals and foxes also failed to escape.The stags dismissed their corpses, but the doe and fawns liked them very much, approaching the stone forest one after another, scrambling for the scattered internal organs, flesh and bones.

The setting sun casts an orange glow on the earth.

When the herd of deer arrived near the isolated island, the stag blew, and the huge team began to separate, leaving the river one after another, and scattered to several nearby highlands.The strong antlers of the male deer are outward, protecting the young deer and the doe in the middle, and beware of possible dangers in the dark.

The wolves were lurking in the dense forest, and the buffalo meat they had eaten hadn't been fully digested. They could wait patiently until the land was surrounded by darkness and most of the mutated deer relaxed their vigilance before attacking the locked target.

Ye An didn't know the arrival of the deer. After the mutated python returned to the cave, he climbed up the rocky mountain with a sack and a shovel on his back, dug out two mutated grapes, and prepared to move them to the pool.As the weather gets hotter and stays on the rocky hills, those vines are likely to die.

According to Lily of the Valley's explanation, the mutated grapes are rich in energy, they don't touch the grape seeds and plants, they only eat the fruit, and there is no harm to the body.

"Swift likes to eat mutated grapes, and will feed the fruit to the chicks so that the chicks can grow quickly."

Thinking of the flock of birds nesting on the rocky mountain compared to the waterfowl nesting on the shore, Ye An believed that Lily of the Valley was not lying.That being the case, it is necessary to preserve these few grapes.

Ye An specially built a shelf with branches, which can not only make it easier for the vines to climb, but also cast a shade by the pool.

During the process of building the grape trellis, Ye An looked at the bottom of the lake again. As the water level dropped, the pool became extremely turbid, and it would dry up in a short time, filled with dried silt like a rift.The stone slab that aroused his interest was buried under the mud, and it would probably take a lot of effort to dig it out.

Lily of the Valley leaned against the edge of the cave, cut open a few mutated plants with a knife, wiped the sweat that slipped to her eyes with the back of her hand, and carefully avoided the grass juice on her fingers and palms.There are seven or eight bowls and plates beside her, which contain processed pharmaceutical materials, mainly used to prepare sunscreen cream and anesthetics.

At the climax of the moon, the grape trellis was finally set up.

The evening wind was blowing head-on, but there was no coolness at all, and it was still swelteringly hot.

Ye An took off his shirt and wiped off the sweat from his body indiscriminately. He couldn't sleep in such heat, so he simply lit a torch and brought a short knife, planning to go to the spring behind the mountain to carry two buckets of water, and take a shower for himself.

The gravel under his feet made a sound, which was especially clear in the night, and even more eerie.

A few months ago, Ye An didn't dare to go out at night at all. Now that the situation has changed, he is still vigilant at all times. Being cautious is the key to survival.

The spring is located in a cave at the foot of the mountain. The entrance of the cave is more than three meters high and embedded in the rock wall in a triangular shape.The cave is very spacious, and there are traces of excavation on the rock wall, and it is impossible to determine whether it is left by man-made or mutant beasts.

The temperature in the cave dropped significantly, and clear spring water gushed out, forming a circular pool.

Ye An put down the wooden bucket, lay down on the edge of the spring and poured two mouthfuls, then splashed the spring water on his face and body with his hands, the sticky sweat was washed away, and a cool feeling came over him, dispelling the unbearable heat. Let him sigh comfortably.

He would really like to sleep here if he could.

"Think too much, go back early."

It is unobstructed and located at the foot of the mountain. It is also a rare water source. It is a good hunting place. When you live in it, you can only think about it. No matter how cool it is, you can't ignore safety.

After filling up the barrel, Ye An picked it up with one hand, intending to return the same way.Before he could walk out of the cave, wolf howls suddenly sounded in the night, one after another, sending chills down the spine.

Ye An left the barrel in the cave, quietly came to the entrance of the cave, and looked out cautiously.Under the moonlight, a stag was running towards the rocky mountain at high speed, and behind it was chasing the silver-white wolf king, and there were also a large group of mutant wolves emitting a bloody smell.

Ye An quickly extinguished the torch, turned his back to the rock wall, and didn't want the other party to find him.

The stag panicked and ran towards the cave, dragging its injured hind leg.The distance between the two sides is getting closer, and Ye An can clearly feel the emotions of the stag, anger, despair, pain, and desire to kill.

The wolves followed behind the stag, relentlessly chasing the target ahead.

The stag and the wolves were getting closer and closer, Ye An had no way to avoid it, and it was even more unsafe to be stuck in the cave.He had no choice but to drop the barrel, draw out his dagger and rush out of the hole, narrowly dodging when the stag bumped into him.

ooh-

The wolves howled, full of hostility.

Ye An's appearance was too sudden, and the wolves regarded him as a contender for their prey, and they might attack at any time.

When the wolves confronted Ye An, the stag rushed into the cave, knocked down the rock wall by accident, and ran to the other side of the rock mountain along the passage that suddenly appeared.

Ye An clenched the dagger tightly, his dark eyes fixed on the wolf king.He cannot show weakness, or he may be torn apart by the angry wolves.

For a moment, the Wolf King was unable to give orders to the Clan at all.Several mutant wolves around were affected at the same time, making whimpering sounds different from howling wolves. They obviously didn't understand what happened to them.

Taking advantage of the chaos of the wolves, Ye An rushed across the rocky mountain at the fastest speed, and found that the injured stag did not run far, but knocked down the grape trellis he erected and devoured the transplanted vines. Lily of the Valley was holding a short knife Even slashing the stag's flanks will not force it back.

"Ling Lan, back off!"

The wolves chased after them, Ye Anfei ran over and pulled the lily of the valley away, the stag chewed and swallowed the vines and roots together, turned to face the wolves, roared ferociously, lowered its neck, aimed at the wolves with sharp antlers, and slammed rushed up.

The stag's attack was too sudden, and the speed was astonishingly fast. Immediately, a wolf was picked up into the air and escaped the fatal spot by chance. Both its front and hind legs were scratched, and when it fell to the ground, a clear bone cracking sound could be heard , I can't even stand up.

The wolf king howled, and the pack of wolves separated two horses to guard against Ye An and Lily of the valley, and the rest quickly surrounded the stag.

The stag attacked again and again, and the wolves cooperated tacitly, exhausting the stag's stamina little by little.As the stag slowed down, the wolves gradually gained the upper hand.

The wolf king issued an order, ready to kill the prey and enjoy the fruits of today's victory. Suddenly, the ground under his feet shook. The mutated python was enraged by the arrival of the wolves, spit out the undigested prey, and crawled out of the burrow.

At the same time, following the call of the leader, more than 20 strong young stags and does rushed towards them. When they got close, they lowered their heads and pointed their sharp antlers at the wolves, as if they were going to die together.

The pack of wolves dispersed quickly, and two horses were injured after being unable to dodge.

In the chaos, three deer rushed towards Ye An and Ling Lan. Ye An raised his knife and slashed at the deer's neck. His elbow was scratched by the antlers, and blood stained his entire arm.Lily of the Valley threw a bottle of medicine to Ye An, and stabbed the deer's hind legs with the dagger. The knife was coated with anesthesia, which could not make the deer lose its mobility immediately, but could slow it down.

The injured mutant deer was more vicious than before, using horns, teeth, and hooves to attack the target. Lily of the Valley was almost bitten off her arm, and a large piece of flesh was scratched off her wrist.

The deer herd were too strong, and the wolves gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Lily of the valley and Ye An were back to back, panting shortly and violently, blood and sweat were all over their body and face.

Ye An slashed the neck of a mutated deer with a knife, the blade didn't reach the hilt, blood gushed out like a fountain when he drew it out, but the mutated deer became even crazier, without the slightest sign of blood loss or serious injury.

"There are medicines in the cave... Be careful!"

Before Ling Lan finished speaking, the sound of breaking wind suddenly struck, and the sharp spear pierced the deer's body, piercing through the mutant deer's neck.Two more landed at Ye An's feet, sticking to his calf and plunging into the soil, with the ends still trembling slightly.

On the bank of the river, the hunting team of Thousand Cities was preparing to set up camp.

Qianxiong died in the snowy field. Qianwu personally led the team this time. When he heard the sound of the engine, he thought it was the return of the road explorers. When he turned his head and looked over, everyone's expressions changed instantly.

In the night, a black convoy roared toward them. The hunters in the car were whistling, yelling and stepping on the gas pedal. The wheels rolled over the muddy river, kicking up a large swath of mud.

"These lunatics!"

Except for Hunter City, no hunting team would dare to make such a crazy move.Seeing that the herd of deer started to become chaotic and huddled together in the highlands and dense forests, Qianwu didn't let his subordinates take advantage of the chaos to launch a roundup, but quickly boarded the car and drove away.

"Let these lunatics find their way to death, we'll just wait."
