Ye An

Chapter 42 Danger and Opportunity

In the next few days, no large-scale hunting teams appeared near the isolated island. Occasionally, wanderers passed by, and they would avoid the huge herd of deer without daring to approach them.

Lily of Lily stayed in the cave to recuperate her injuries. She rarely woke up in the first two days. On the third day, her condition began to improve rapidly. She became much more energetic and her face gradually turned red.In order to take care of her, Ye An basically didn't go out to hunt. Most of the food was cured meat and millet stored in the cave, and occasionally he went to the forest to pick some fresh fruits.

Ferrets are not resistant to high temperatures, and in addition to filling their stomachs, they spend most of the day sleeping.

The hunting frequency of mutant pythons has increased, and they often leave their burrows in search of prey.In addition to eating enough for himself, he would often bring back fresh prey for Ye An, sometimes buffaloes, sometimes wild boars, and occasionally stags with broken antlers.

Unlike the buffalo and wild boar, the wound on the stag was obviously not caused by the mutant python, but more like a struggle within the clan. The blood vessels were punctured by the sharp horns of other stags, and they bled to death.

The meat of the prey can't be eaten up, Ye An mostly makes cured meat, and the cured meat in the cave quickly piles up into a hill.

The wolves have always been active on the outskirts of the island, and rarely approached the rocky mountains.

Ye An climbed up to the top of the mountain and watched from a high place. If he was lucky, he could catch the shadows of the wolves.Most of the time, they are active in dense woodland and grass, using tree roots and dry grass to cover their bodies, lurking and waiting for their prey.

After another two days, Lily of the Valley was able to move freely, and her physical strength had recovered more than half, and she was able to climb up the cave where she used to live with the help of ropes without help.

The medicine given by Xiao Yun was very effective, Ling Lan told Ye An that there were several extremely precious materials in it, and it was difficult for the merchant city under Qi Luo's management to get them together.

"Can it be prepared?" Ye An asked.

"As long as you have the materials." Maybe it was a problem left over from the medicine, or maybe it was Lily of the Valley's over-uplifting ability that caused changes in her body. Her eyes turned dark green and could no longer return to their original brown color.

Fortunately, no permanent damage was left on her body, and it was a blessing in disguise, her control over the heterophytes was improved, and she could give birth to a whole plant without dying immediately.

"To make this kind of medicine, you need the teeth of a mutated octopus." Lily of the Valley unscrewed the medicine bottle, poured out the last two medicines, crushed one of them, and melted it into the green grass juice.

"Octopus teeth?" Ye An curled his fingers and gestured to his mouth. He never thought that octopus teeth could also make medicine.

"Adding chopped and dried arms and legs, the effect will be better. It's just that mutated octopuses are difficult to obtain, so they are more precious." Lily of the Valley stirred the juice with grass stems, and the medicinal powder inside condensed again, and under the action of the grass juice, formed Pale green paste.

"The sea is far richer in resources than the land. There are more mutant beasts and fish, as well as a large number of edible aquatic plants. My father once told me that there were prosperous cities by the sea, where many mutants and powerful fighters gathered. Being able to lead the fleet to sea, every time is a rewarding experience.”

Lily of the valley has never seen the sea with her own eyes, but only heard it from her parents. When she spoke, she kept moving her hands. She picked up a grass seed the size of an apricot pit and smashed it, and dripped the juice into the bowl. become transparent.

"There was a terrible tsunami 30 years ago. The coastal cities were destroyed, the buildings were submerged, and more than half of the city residents died in the sea. After the tsunami ended, the surviving mutants and fighters were recruited by other cities, and the remaining city residents mostly become vagabonds."

"It is rumored that the descendants of the builders of Haicheng did not die in the tsunami, nor did they show up in other cities, but became homeless. After so many years, no one knows whether the rumor is true."

Lily of the Valley collected the grass seeds, cut off two grass stems, and divided the coagulated ointment into lumps.

"Since then, tsunamis have occurred every five to ten years, and no one has built a city by the sea, let alone live in the original city."

"There are very few fleets going to sea now, and it is even more difficult to get an octopus tooth."

Lily of the Valley dug out a piece of ointment from the bowl and spread it on the oval grass leaves.The ointment is crystal clear, trembling like jelly, it is hard to imagine that the main ingredients in it are octopus teeth and mutant animal bones.

"Put it here." Lily of the Valley tapped the corners of her eyes with her fingers, beckoning to Ye An.

In the previous battle, Ye An was scratched at the corner of his eye by the sharp thorn released by Qianwu.

The spikes are coated with a very special poison, the wound is difficult to heal, and the scabs repeatedly form and fester and fall off. Most wound medicines cannot heal.If it wasn't for Ye An being a mutant with a special physique compared to ordinary people, the toxin would have invaded the blood earlier and spread widely.

"I added two kinds of mutated grass to it, which are the most effective against this poison." Without these two kinds of ingredients, Ye An would not have much effect after taking the pill.Without mature xenoplants, lily of the valley could only give birth to it by itself, and it took several attempts before it succeeded, which delayed the time for making medicine.

Lily of the Valley dug out another piece of ointment, did not apply it on the leaves, but put it into a finger-long wooden tube, the top was tightly plugged with a cork, and then tied with a rope. Ointment works."

After the ointment was applied, the wound felt cool. Ye An picked off some dry leaves, and rubbed his fingers over the corner of his eyes, and the slightly raised wound became smooth.

"It's a pity that's all there is." Lily of the Valley scraped off the last smear of ointment in the bowl, and put it on Ye An's mouth instead of putting it in a wooden tube, "Eat it, don't waste it."

Ye An was unprepared, because she instinctively leaned back. After reacting, she looked at Ling Lan's fingers and hesitated. She obviously thought of something, and her expression was a little uncomfortable.

"This... I will do it myself."

Ling Lan was amused by Ye An's appearance, she hadn't laughed like this since her parents and brother died.

Infected by Lily of the Valley's happiness, Ye An also curled the corners of his mouth unconsciously.After coming to this world, his nerves have been tense, and he has almost forgotten what happiness is like.

After laughing enough, Ye An took out two fruits from his pocket and handed them to Lily of the Valley.

"Newly picked, try it?"

Lily of the Valley bit off half of it in one bite, the flesh was very crisp, sour with a hint of sweetness, without the slightest bit of astringency it had before.

Ye An also picked up one, ate it in a few mouthfuls, crushed the core, and took out the almond-shaped seeds inside.

"Can this be planted?"

If possible, Ye An would like to plant some vines under the rocky mountain to replace the vines eaten by the mutant deer.

"I'll give it a try." Holding the seed in her hand, she could feel the vigorous vitality. Although Lily of the Valley was not very sure, she planned to give it a try.

As the evening approached, the mutated python came back from hunting, and instead of coming near the spring, he returned directly to the cave to rest.

Linglan grabbed the rope and climbed up the rocky mountain, returning to the cave where she used to live.Ye An picked up a bucket of water and returned to his home made of tortoise shells.

The moonlight poured in from the window, and the silver light fell all over the place.

The sound of buzzing mosquitoes surrounded his ears, and Ye An soon had several swollen bumps on his arms and legs, which were so itchy that he couldn't sleep.He could arouse the instinct of poisonous insects and lead the swarm to attack the enemy, but he couldn't stop these mosquitoes from biting himself.

With a slap, Ye An slapped a mosquito to death, tossed and turned, unable to sleep, he could only ignite the medicine made by Lily of the Valley, the smell was a bit pungent, but he managed to disperse the mosquitoes and midges in the house.

There was no more buzzing in his ears, Ye An walked back and forth in the house for a few times, waited until the smell of the herbs had dissipated, wiped off the hot sweat with the water in the wooden bucket, and lay back on the bed again, finally able to sleep peacefully .

In the early morning of the next day, Ye An woke up from his sleep, feeling extremely relaxed.After getting up and stretching, after washing, boil two pieces of bacon with water, eat it with rice, find weapons and tools, and plan to hunt wild boars outside the isolated island.

Wild boar is very chewy, and it tastes very good when made into cured meat. Ye An has been planning to hunt a few more.In the past, it was always precarious, and it was uncertain when I would run for my life.Now that I have the foundation of survival, on the basis of living, I can make myself live a little more comfortably.

Ling Lan leaned against the cave, and saw Ye An come out of the house, put his hands around his mouth, and said loudly: "Be careful!"

Ye An waved to her, turned and walked into the dense forest.

Watching Ye An's back disappear behind the tree, Ling Lan couldn't help thinking of her brother, the boy who always had a smile on his face and told her not to be afraid when he was dragged into the cage.

"If Ah Guo is alive, he should be at this age."

Lily of the Valley sighed, suppressed the memories in her mind, picked up the dagger again, grabbed a handful of mutated grass and chopped it up.

In the dark dense forest, Ye An pushed aside the dry tall grass, turned a few corners, and found the three modified cars left on the island by the Hongcheng people.The Hongcheng man guarding the vehicle was killed by poisonous insects and mutated pythons, but the fuel and weapons on the vehicle were still intact and did not hinder their use at all.

After shoveling off the marks on the car body, Ye Anla opened the door and got in, started the engine easily, left the forest, and drove to the west of the island.

The sound of the engine alarmed the herd of deer drinking water by the river, mistaking it for the return of hunters. After a short period of confusion, they quickly gathered together with their antlers outward, ready to attack at any time.

Ye An passed by in a modified car, poked his head out of the car window, and released a peaceful mood.

The leading buck honked, and the atmosphere was not as tense as before.When Ye An drove the modified car away, the herd of deer returned to the river to drink water, and did not relax their vigilance during the process.

Although Ye An left, there were still mutant wolves lurking on the other side of the river, and there were more than a dozen mutant crocodiles that came from the lower reaches of the river.

These hunters are very patient, they are waiting for the herd to let down their vigilance and deliver the fatal blow.

Without Ye An's assimilation, it is impossible for the deer and wolves to cooperate.Now that the cooperation is over, nature has returned to its most primitive state, hunter and prey, hunting and being hunted.

With the modified car, Ye An no longer has to endure the scorching sun, and his speed is much faster.The disadvantage was that the engine was too loud, and the herd of wild boars was alarmed early. The two biggest wild boars turned around and showed their fangs, and rushed towards Ye An aggressively.

The wild boar was extremely fast and surprisingly powerful, hitting the car body with a bang.

Ye An couldn't hide, so he simply released his emotions, making the wild boar even more angry. At the same time, he slammed on the accelerator, relying on the modified car body to fight the wild boar.

There were muffled noises one after another, and the wild boar didn't seem to know the pain. With red eyes and nostrils snorting, it rushed to the front of the car again and again.Under the continuous impact, the front cover of the car bulged, and white smoke soon came out from the front of the car.

The wild boar was not much better either, the skull was not crushed, but the flesh was scraped off by the sharp baffle and became dripping with blood.

Ye An stepped on the accelerator again, and the modified car roared.He was ready for a head-on confrontation again, he didn't expect that except for the three most injured wild boars, the whole herd of wild boars would disperse in a rush, as if seeing something terrible, they fled into the forest without looking back.

It happened so suddenly, Ye An didn't think he was the cause of this phenomenon.

What exactly is that?

Just when he couldn't figure it out, the earth suddenly trembled, followed by a loud elephant call.Ye An immediately opened the sunroof of the car, leaned out and looked in the direction of the sound. Along the downstream of the river, a group of mutants were walking slowly!

The female elephant headed by it is huge, with long tusks mopping the ground, and the head and body are covered with brown-black fur. It looks like a mammoth from the Ice Age.The members of the elephant herd are also covered with long hair, and the tusks are long and short. The two smallest members, one only has the tip of the tusk, and the other does not even grow the tip of the tusk.

The arrival of the elephant herd announced that the dry season has entered the most difficult period. Most of the water sources have dried up, and more and more mutant beasts will flood into the delta. For Ye An, this is a rare opportunity and a big crisis.

Outside the delta, the Hunter City's convoy returned with a full load and brought back a large amount of prey, but the Red City and Thousand City teams were gone forever.

Red City just lost a hunting team that explored the road, so the problem is not too big.Qiancheng has lost its owner, just like Merchant City, attracting many forces to covet it.

"City Master, I heard that both the Red City and the Black City plan to send people to Qiancheng, should we also send a team?" Rose suggested.

"No need." Xiao Yun denied the proposal.

Qianwu is different from Qiluo, and Qiancheng is also different from Merchant City.

Qi Luo died, and the dragons in the merchant city had no leader, and immediately became a mess.Qiancheng is not the case. Even if there is no Qianwu, there are strong men who followed the previous city lord. It is because of them that Qianwu, who is not a mutant, can secure the position of the city lord. It is also because of their existence that Qianwu dies. It still won't be a mess.

"Don't meddle in the matter of Qiancheng for the time being. Contact the people in the trade zone. The business of hunting mutant wolves is over. If they need mutant deer and other beasts, we can talk about it again."

"Yes!"

Rose led the order to leave the city lord's mansion, Xiao Yun sat in front of the window, recalling what he saw on the isolated island, remembering the moment when he was locked by black pupils and his thoughts were out of control. .
