Ye An

The mutated coconut tree is nearly 30 meters high, and the green coconuts are hanging from the top of the tree, crowded together. There are at least [-] or [-] coconut trees by visual inspection.

The male antelope stopped under the tree, Ye An jumped to the ground, walked around the coconut tree, and found that without suitable tools, it was not easy to climb such a tall tree.The bark of the mutated coconut tree is covered with thorns, and the tips are extremely sharp. If you climb up like this without any protective measures, you don’t know how many more wounds you will get.

If you can't climb up, you can only try to bring down the tree.

Coconuts are edible, and the trunks and branches can also build shelter.Being in an unfamiliar environment without any protection makes it very unsafe at night.

Ye An picked up the short knife that was broken off by the horn of the antelope, grabbed the handle of the knife with one hand, pressed the back of the knife with the other, locked a position, and cut the bark of the coconut tree from top to bottom.

The bark was very tough, and Ye An cut a few times in a row before making a gap in it.The white sap flowed from the knife edge, spread over the thorny bark, and twisted into thin streams, exuding a sweet taste.

Not sure if it was edible, Ye An didn't touch it, and let the sap flow along the trunk.The antelope herd became excited, and the male antelope was the first to step forward, using his tongue to sweep away the dripping sap, expressing his joy.

"Can it be eaten?" Ye An looked at the male antelope. Through the connection between them, he confirmed that the sap could be eaten, and then stepped aside, allowing the antelopes to lick it.

The sap flowed almost, and Ye An continued to cut the bark.

The short knife was caught by the thorn, Ye An carefully avoided the tip of the thorn, grabbed the edge of the bark with his hand, and began to tear it downwards. After a few strokes, he forcibly tore off a piece of bark that was nearly one meter long and two fists wide. down.

The bark is very heavy and heavy in the hand.Ye An tried to bend it a few times, and it felt like untanned animal skin.The white sap flowing in the inner layer becomes viscous when exposed to the sun, and the outer layer is covered with thorns, which is quite sticky to the touch.

The white tree trunk appeared in front of him, the sap flowed more, the sweet smell filled the air, and the antelope herd became more and more excited. Ye An also opened the wooden barrel he carried with him, filled up the flowing sap, and put it under his nose to smell it , before re-plugging the cork.

This is a habit formed after encountering lily of the valley.

Ye An likes to smell any mutated plants that are not sure. According to Lily of the Valley, the easiest thing to tell whether a plant is poisonous is the smell.

The mutated poisonous plants will have a peculiar smell, most of which are extremely irritating and make people feel uncomfortable instinctively.

Ye An tied the wooden tube around his waist and wrapped it around his hands with fish tendons. He bent his fingers a few times to make sure that the thickness was about the same. Then he clenched his fists and turned his arms backwards. go down.

The fist hit the tree trunk, breaking the hard shell on the surface, and it was like hitting the accumulated foam, sinking in easily.

Ye An withdrew his arm and looked at the place where he was hit. There was a fist mark in the center of the trunk. The edge was very smooth. The color in the center was darker than the outer layer, and more sap flowed out. It should be the tree produced by mutant coconut trees. core.

The trunk of the mutated coconut tree is very hard, no less than a bluestone of the same volume.Ye An can smash through it with ease, which shows how strong he is now.

Ye An didn't realize this at first, until he pulled out the short knife and tried to cut off more bark. The blade slid across the surface of the trunk, making a screeching sound like scratching on iron. Then he realized his own Strength changed again.

He raised his fist and looked at it, moved his fingers a few times, the joints made a clicking sound, Ye An clenched his fingers, and this time he used more strength to bombard the center of the tree trunk.

Punch after punch, the broken tree core was accompanied by sap splashes, covering Ye An's arms and shoulders.

The tree core fell to the ground, and the surrounding mutant antelopes quickly surrounded it, including the small antelope, struggling to grab the rare food.

During the dry season, it is not easy to find a stable water source, and there are not many edible plants.Mutant antelopes can eat meat, but most of the time, they are still used to eating grass and leaves.

The sap and core have a sweet taste and are rich in nutrition, which is very popular with antelopes.They bared their teeth at each other for a small piece of tree core, even the male antelope.

Ye An smashed the tree trunk hollow with his fist, untied the fish tendons tied to his hands, and found that the joints and the back of his hands were red and swollen.I didn't feel it when I was entangled with fish tendons, but when I loosened it suddenly, I felt a burst of pain immediately.

Gently press down with your fingers, and a pit will appear in the bruised area. Although no bones were injured, the pain still made him gasp.Shaking my hands twice hard, there is no way to relieve the pain, it is just a matter of habit.

Ye An carefully avoided the thorns, pressed down on the hollowed out tree trunk, and pushed it to the side, signaling the antelope to push with him.

"Tear down this tree, and the core inside is yours." Ye An said, pointing to the white trunk, conveying his thoughts so that the other party could fully understand what he wanted to express.

The antelope herd's desire for food had the upper hand. Ye An didn't need to say it again and again, and they didn't need the male antelope to summon them.

Five or six antelopes bumped back and forth several times before knocking the coconut tree to its side. Ye An continued to exert force, and with the creaking sound, the tall coconut tree fell down and fell into the bushes, causing a large shattered explosion. Twigs and grit.

Ye An kept his promise, tore off the cracked bark, smashed the hard surface of the trunk, and left the white core inside to the antelope.

The large tree core was exposed to the air, and the taste of the sap became more and more attractive. Ye An couldn't help but dipped a little bit of it into his mouth with his finger. It was not as good as the mutated grapes he had eaten before. It was like sugar cane juice, but it was not sour The throat is sweet and thirst-quenching.It's a pity that he doesn't have the right tools, otherwise he can save more.

The antelopes gathered together, buried their heads in the gap Ye An made, and gnawed on the sweet tree core.

Ye An walked towards the crown of the tree, chopped off the green coconuts one by one, and picked up the ones that had rolled to the surroundings before, and piled them together, adding up to more than 30 coconuts.

The coconuts have a green husk and are each about the size of a football.Ye An was sitting by the tree trunk, splitting open a coconut with a short knife, and the clear juice appeared in front of his eyes.

Wiping the sweat off his face with his backhand, Ye An stuck the dagger on the ground, picked up the coconut and poured it into his mouth.

The sweet juice slid into the throat, and a few drops fell on the face, sliding down the cheeks, Ye An ignored it, drank the coconut juice in one gulp, then dug out the coconut meat and ate it, the taste was slightly different from the coconut he was familiar with. Different, like crispy pears, but more refreshing than pears.

Putting down the empty coconut husk, Ye An was a little bit unsatisfied. He glanced at the piled coconuts, but he didn't pick them up anymore. Instead, he got up and continued to peel the bark, bent the hard bark into a suitable size, and placed it in the sun. dry.

It was getting late, and there was a water source nearby, so it was hard to predict what kind of mutant beasts they would encounter.

Fortunately, this coconut grove is some distance away from the water source, so we should move faster. With the help of the collapsed coconut trees, we should be able to build a shelter before dark.

"It doesn't need to be too big, it's long enough."

Ye An walked forward along the tree trunk, stopped after taking less than ten steps, picked up a section of crushed bush and stuck it on the ground to make a mark, then returned to the crown of the tree, and cut off the arm-thick leaf stalk with a knife, Stack two or three meters of leaves together for shelter.

While he was busy, the antelope had hollowed out most of the tree core, leaving only the hard milky white shell, like a hollowed-out cylinder lying on the ground.

Ye An walked up to him, put one hand on the top of the tree shell, and looked inward. He found that the space inside was not that spacious, but he could lie in it, and it would not be a problem for him to turn over and half sit.Arranging the opening can make a great shelter.

"Just do it."

Ye An turned around to fetch the bark, tore it into strips, and used it instead of rope.They also carried the cut leaves and tied them to the trunk with ropes to ensure the concealment inside.

The male antelope was very curious about his behavior, and his doubts passed over, and Ye An gave a "safe" explanation.

"Hide in, block this place, and you will be safe."

Ye An pointed to the hollowed out tree trunk, and raised the petiole to gesture a few times, but the male antelope still didn't understand.Ye An doesn't need it to understand, he just needs to have life to listen to himself, distract his attention, and relieve his anxiety and anxiety at the moment.

He originally thought that he would be stable for a while, but he never thought that he would encounter unexpected disasters, first a swarm of wasps, then a herd of elephants, and even more unlucky enough to fall into the underground river and be washed to this strange land.

It's okay when you're busy, but once you stop, the familiar weightlessness will come again.He had to try to distract himself so as not to be clouded by negativity.

Attach the petioles to the trunk, weave the slender leaves and tie them with sun-dried bark, and the shelter is complete.

Ye An straightened his body, moved his arms a few times, and looked towards the direction of the waterfall.

From falling into the dark river to leaving the ground, he drifted along the water most of the time, roughly seven or eight days.Switching to walking on land, even if the direction is correct, it will take twice as much time.

In such bad weather, Ye An was not sure if he could find water on the way.If he couldn't find it, he might die of thirst before returning to the isolated island.

Suppressing the sudden surge of emotions, Ye An picked up the empty coconut shell, wrapped it with the remaining bark, and planned to fetch water from the pool, and then came back to light the fire.

The sun is already showing signs of setting, and the sky is full of red clouds.

Various mutated beasts appeared one after another by the water pool, and there were only a few of them at present. Ye An had to act fast. If he was lucky, he might be able to hunt one or two small beasts for today's dinner.

While Ye An was busy, a large group of mutant beasts were walking towards the pool.

After the mutated beast, three modified cars followed far away. The black marks on the car body showed that they came from Hunter City, and Xiao Yun personally led the team.

The purpose of the convoy is to hunt mutant rhinos.

The meat of the rhinoceros is not very good, but the bones and blood are quite good pharmaceutical materials, and people in the trade zone have been buying them.In addition, Xiao Yun brought back many pharmacists from the merchant city. In order to prepare the medicines he needed, rhinoceros bones were indispensable.

"Boss, when will you do it?" Jason held the steering wheel in his hand, looked at the herd of alien beasts that were blowing up dust ahead, and licked his lips excitedly.

"Don't worry, follow up first, and wait until the water source to look for opportunities." Xiao Yun held up the long knife that never left his body, rubbed his fingers against the lines on the handle and scabbard, and gave orders to the team members.

The hunters had no objection.

They followed the herd of rhinos for several days and saw with their own eyes that mutated beasts kept coming together. There was no conflict between them, but they concentrated on heading in the same direction.

This only represents one possibility, they are looking for water.

In the plains in the dry season, water is extremely precious, and it is also the place where chaos is most likely to occur.Now that the city lord gave the order, everyone simply continued to follow, and waited until the water source was near, trying to find a way to cause confusion among the alien beasts, and then look for an opportunity to attack the target.
