Ye An

The atmosphere in the tent was eerie, ten times colder than standing in the pouring rain.

At least that's how Lamo and Esilio felt.

With a smile on his face, Ye An pushed two bowls of steaming broth in front of the two of them, signaling that they don't have to be polite.

The bone marrow of the mutated beast is melted in the broth, and the taste is strong. When salt and pepper are sprinkled, the aroma instantly rises to a higher level.The bones in the soup have been boiled, and when a piece is picked up and shaken gently, the muscles on it are separated.

For Lamo and Esilio, the broth in front of them was really tempting, and the smiling Ye An was kind enough, but the city master Xiao who sat opposite was too scary, like a human figure who would draw his sword and chop at any time weapon.

Stared at by Xiao Yun's eyes, the two of them felt like they were sitting on pins and needles, and the hand holding the soup bowl was a little unsteady.While trembling, the soup spilled over the edge of the bowl, leaving eye-catching dark spots on the thick hide.

Aware of their situation, Zhao Weng looked at Xiao Yun and motioned to him, but the latter remained unmoved.

Ye An sighed, and covered the back of Xiao Yun's hand with one hand, finally giving this ice sculpture that was so perfect that it was almost unreal a little bit of vitality.

Lamo and Esilio breathed a sigh of relief, as if the mountain pressing on their heads was finally removed, allowing them to straighten up a little and breathe relaxedly.

Ye An signaled again that the two of them were not polite this time, they picked up the soup bowl, it wasn't too hot, took a few gulps, and drank the broth in the bowl in one gulp.

After eating the hot soup, the heat flowed from the stomach to the whole body, soothing the nerves that were almost frozen.

The two put down their wooden bowls and finally relaxed. Faced with Ye An's question, they opened their mouths to tell the story of their enmity and the several frictions that have occurred over the years.

In the friction, although the two sides did not cause any fatalities, it seemed to form a deadlock for each other.As time passed, instead of showing signs of easing up, the relationship got worse and worse. Every time they met, there would be disputes, ranging from quarrels to direct hands.

Both Lamo and Esilio are not stupid, and with Zhao Weng present, there is no embellishment in the narration, basically what they say.It was his own provocation that did not evade, it was the other party's fault that he did not cover up, and he did not give an inch in his words.

Ye An listened, and gradually figured out a clear thread.

Lamo and Esilio are each in charge of a settlement, both located on the south side of the wasteland, not too far away.In their grandparents and fathers' generation, although the relationship was not very warm, they did not interfere with each other, and conflicts rarely occurred.

The cause of the incident was a hunt.

A wildebeest that Lamo was eyeing broke into Isilio's territory with injuries and was captured near the settlement.

At that time, Lamo brought a lot of people to track the prey all the way, and paid a big price for injuring the target.When he was about to succeed, he saw that the prey was intercepted by Esilio and disintegrated on the spot, leaving nothing behind.Anger surged up in an instant, and the anger could not be suppressed.

Life in the wasteland is extremely difficult, Ye An has a deep understanding of this.

If you want to survive in a harsh environment, food is the most important thing, and nothing can be wasted.

Wildebeest are large and in their prime.In order to capture it, Lamo led people to track it in the wilderness for several days, and finally separated it from the group.Unexpectedly, just when they risked injury to cut their prey and were about to reap a lot, Esilio stepped in and took away the precious meat that should belong to them.

Both were young then, and the settlement was not as strong as it is today.

This prey is related to the survival of the elderly and children in the settlement, and is very important to each other.

When Lamo said this, he clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were bloodshot, painful memories flooded his mind, and the anger that had been suppressed rose again.If he didn't have some sanity, he would have done it on the spot.

"I admit that I was indeed at fault. However, that prey ran to my territory by itself and broke through the fence of the settlement. I didn't even know it belonged to you!" Esilio said firmly.

The living conditions are difficult, and any food that can be obtained should not be missed.

What's more, Lamo and others used short knives made of horns at that time, and the wounds left on the wildebeest were very similar to the wounds of similar battles.Esilio and his men failed to recognize the wildebeest in the first place, and only cared about restraining the wildebeest, which was mad because of the injury, in case it really rushed into the settlement and hurt the children who didn't have much resistance.

The two talked to each other, finished talking about what happened at that time, and then talked about several conflicts after that.

In the conflict, each other wins and loses, and the contradiction deepens, which is no different from a deadly enmity.

However, both of them have brains and understand the purpose of going to the isolated island this time. When they met on the island at first, they each took a step back, and then tried to avoid meeting each other to prevent conflicts due to bad luck.

Unexpectedly, an accident happened today.

The two men were instigated by someone, and they suddenly attacked on the island.When they dared to arrive, the scene was already in chaos, with more than a dozen people fighting fiercely.In order to save their own people, they don't even have to do it if they don't want to.

In the end, things developed into what Ye An saw.

"Provocation?" Ye An interrupted the two of them, and turned his gaze to the corner of the tent, where the one-eyed man he had captured was limp.At first he still had the strength to moan, but now he is no longer vocal.

Zhao Weng frowned, while Ye An shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I'm still alive."

Ye An didn't get up, but activated his ability, the curtain suddenly lifted, and two petite black-footed cats ran in one after the other, jumped onto Ye An's lap, and kept rubbing against his wrist and palm.

Ye An pinched the black-footed cat's ears and paws, pointed at the man lying on the ground pretending to be dead, and said, "Help me."

Comprehending Ye An's intentions, the black-footed cat meowed twice, jumped to the ground, quickly came to the one-eyed man, walked around the man, and stopped by the man's neck from left to right, showing sharp claws , grabbed it hard.

The man could no longer pretend, his arms and legs could not move, he could only roll on the ground with all his strength.

The black-footed cat had no intention of killing him. Seeing that he dared to run, the instinct of chasing prey surged up, and instantly turned into two bolts of lightning, and easily jumped onto the man's shoulders.The sharp claws fell again, the man's clothes were cut, and blood gushed out from the wound, soaking his shirt and coat.

The man let out piercing screams, and every time he screamed, the black-footed cat would drop its claws.

After several times, the wounds on the man's back were intertwined, and there was no good place to be found.

The black-footed cat licked its paws, seemingly disgusted, jumped to the ground, leaving beautiful plum-shaped footprints, rubbed hard a few times, and then returned to Ye An's lap.

Everything happened too fast, not to mention Lamo and Esilio, even Zhao Weng didn't react.

Only Xiao Yun was familiar with Ye An, seeing him gently scratching the black-footed cat's chin, there was a smile line on the corner of his mouth, which was fleeting.

The one-eyed man was in unbearable pain, but he couldn't pass out. It was as if a rope was tightly wrapped around his brain and involved his nerves. The pain was so painful that he almost fainted, but when he closed his eyes, he would be extremely awake.

The man struggled to raise his head, cold sweat covered his eyes and blocked his sight.

Through the hazy light and shadow, he tried his best to capture Ye An's figure.

The next moment, Ye An got up and walked in front of him, grabbed his hair with one hand, raised his gaze, still had a gentle smile on his face, but his voice was as cold as ice: "Tell me, why are you on the island?" To stir up trouble?"

Both Lamo and Esilio knew this man, and they wanted to speak, but when they saw Ye An's appearance, their words stopped immediately.

The two looked at each other, and their understanding of the old enemy made them understand that the other party was quite frightened.Compared to the Lord of the Hunter City who never left his sword, the always smiling Lord Ye in front of him may be more terrifying.
