Ye An

The heavy rain was pouring, the sky was like an opening, and the rain poured down, filling the rivers and lakes amidst the roar of thunder.

The river is turbulent, rushing forward with crushed ice, silt and broken logs.The wide river channel was filled, and a large group of black shadows floated in the water, which was the hippopotamus migrating back from the upper reaches.

The hippopotamus is huge, with more than a hundred of them gathered together, like a small floating island, ignoring the turbulent current, moving forward steadily in the river.

The little hippo was protected in the center of the group. When encountering a crocodile with malicious intentions, some members of the same group immediately raised the alarm.

Before the crocodile got close, it encountered an adult hippo that turned around and charged.

Facing the menacing giant, the crocodile did not dare to resist, and could only sink into the water and hide, waiting for the hippos to leave.

The hippos were not slow, and quickly crossed the most turbulent section of the river and came to more open waters.

At that time, the hunting team led by Racheva was encountering a joint caravan, and they confirmed each other's identities.

The caravans all came from afar, and more than half of them came to the delta for the first time.They heard about the excitement of the isolated island market from their acquaintances, so they came here just now.

"The rain is getting heavier and heavier, it's not safe to stay here, everyone, come with me."

Knowing the identity of the other party, Rachiva greeted warmly and signaled that all the wooden boats left behind would come over to help the caravan transport the goods.

Due to the swell of the river, individual caravans were not fully prepared, and the refitted cars stalled in the rain, making it difficult to move on.

Rachiva checked it for her, and she also had a headache.

Just at this moment, a herd of hippos appeared in the water, everyone in the caravan immediately became vigilant, and Rachiva and his men's eyes lit up.

"There is a way!"

Laqiwa does not have Ye An's ability and cannot communicate with mutant beasts, but she has spar on her body and a wooden plaque carved by Ye An himself.

As early as the last rainy season, Ye An reached an agreement with the hippos. When the river swelled and the hunting team was in trouble, they could ask them for help. It can be said to be quite rich.

In order to reach a cooperation, Ye An spent a lot of effort, and there were twists and turns due to accidents in the middle.Fortunately, the result was as he wished, the hippo accepted the spar and food, and was willing to help.

Rachiva's team once encountered herds of hippos upstream.

At that time, she was chasing a group of waterbucks with a group of people. When she encountered an underwater vortex and the boat was trapped, she took out Ye An's wooden sign and was rescued by a hippo.

Today the situation is different, they are not in distress, but have another request.

The wooden boat approached the group of hippos, seeing the blackness in the water, Rachiva swallowed, her heart beat faster and became tense for the first time.

"How about a favor?"

Rachiva knew that Hippo couldn't understand her, so in order to relieve her tension, she just kept talking.

It's a pity that Ye An only asked the hippopotamus to save people and taught the two parties simple gestures for communication, but did not make arrangements for the situation at hand.This caused Racheva to dance and sweat, and the hippopotamus remained unmoved, showing faint signs of impatience and even losing his temper.

Hot sweat broke out on Racheva's body, which was quickly washed away by the rain.She realized that she had done something stupid, which could have pretty bad consequences.Just when he felt that there was nothing he could do, there were waves on the water in the distance.

Two robust tiger sharks were swimming fast, and a slender figure stood on one of them.When the tiger shark was advancing, the cloak made of animal skin fluttered with the wind, and the hood was raised, revealing a young and handsome face.

"It's my lord, my lord is here!"

Seeing that it was Ye An, Rachiva and his staff breathed a sigh of relief.Rachiva raised her hand and wiped her forehead, not knowing whether it was sweat or rain.

When the tiger shark swam closer, Ye An raised his eyes and glanced at the happy-looking hunting team. After hearing them explain that they had encountered a caravan, he had a general understanding in his heart.Looking at the caravan on the opposite side, I found a few familiar faces who also recognized him and were struggling to climb up to the roof of the car to salute and greet him.

There were more unfamiliar faces in the caravan. They had never been to Delta, let alone Ye An.

I had only heard rumors before, but at first glance, the legendary Lord of the Delta was too different from what I imagined, too young and too handsome.Everyone was stunned on the spot, speechless for a long time.

Sensing everyone's emotions, Ye An couldn't help but smile. He didn't care about the reactions of the merchants. Instead, he opened his sleeves, tapped the gem worms wrapped around his wrist, and pointed to the group of hippopotamuses not far away.

In the cave before, he worked hard to mediate between the golden python and the jewel worm. Although the two sides were not 100% willing, for Ye An's sake, they each took a step back.

After negotiation, the golden python's range of activities will not go too far beyond the hot spring, and the gem worms will not climb down the rock wall at will, and draw boundaries between each other.

As soon as the matter was resolved, Ye An learned from the water bird that a group of strangers came to the delta.

Through the memory of the water bird, Ye An saw the image of the caravan, and guessed that the other party was not an enemy, but nine times out of ten it was a businessman who came to do business, so he decided to go there in person.

The golden python was about to shed its skin and became more irritable.

Frenzied emotions filled the cave, the jewel worm felt uncomfortable, and didn't want to stay alone with the mutated python, so they all jumped on Ye An's shoulder, intending to leave with him.

Before leaving the cave, Ye Ante moved a few boulders to block the entrance of the cave.

After the mutated python molts, there will be a period of weakness. Blocking the hole with stones can prevent the mutated beast from accidentally intruding and ensure the safety of the golden python.

The golden python rubbed its forehead against Ye An's shoulder to express its gratitude, and then began to swim in the cave, looking for sharp stones, and began to prepare for shedding its skin.

Ye An left the rocky mountain, and in order to speed up, he flew over the city with the help of a flock of birds.When I landed by the river, I felt that the punting was too slow, so I simply called the fish.

Two tiger sharks happened to be nearby, and they swam to Ye An's side first, leading him all the way forward, and soon arrived at the waters where the hunting team and caravan were.

Knowing the caravan's plight, Ye An beckoned the jewel worms to help. When he learned more about the caravan, the jewel worms were in charge of communicating with the hippos, and the hippos would help open the way and transport the goods and caravan members.

With the help of these behemoths, not to mention the cargo carried by the caravan, even the refitted car can be lifted up easily and sent all the way to the isolated island.

But the hippopotamus has such a bad reputation, most of the businessmen are trembling, even if Ye An repeatedly promised, they still dare not approach the hippopotamus, let alone climb on the hippopotamus' back.

"My lord, let them take the boat." Rachiva suggested.

Seeing the behavior of the merchants, Ye An knew that this was the best way. He nodded to La Qiwa, let the hunting team sit on the back of the hippopotamus, and handed over the wooden boat to the merchants who dare not approach the hippopotamus.

In this way, the team will naturally delay for some time.Fortunately, the rain did not continue to intensify, and the thunder was getting farther and farther away. Even though there was still lightning crawling through, it was not as terrifying as before.

"set off!"

When everything was ready, Ye An handed the Tiger Shark two crystals, thanking them for their help, then jumped onto the back of the leader Hippo, curled his fingers to his lips, and let out a long whistle.

Amidst the whistle, the hippos began to swim upstream.

The merchants either took a boat or stood on the back of a hippopotamus, their eyes pierced through the rain curtain, and quickly swept across the scenery on both sides of the bank. Before they could see clearly, the roar of mutant beasts came from their ears.

Passing a stone forest, the businessmen all stared wide-eyed. They saw a giraffe standing in the rain. Not far from the giraffe was a group of strong lionesses.

The roar that was heard just now came from a pride of lions.

Seeing Ye An, this group of ferocious mutant beasts stopped roaring and became docile in an instant. The strongest lionesses were still rolling on the ground.

The businessmen rubbed their eyes in disbelief, and looked over again, convinced that they were right, the shock in their hearts can be imagined.

Ye An waved his arms twice, and was led away by the hippo. The lions on the shore stood up one after another, shook their hair, and roared at the strange businessman.

The merchants breathed a sigh of relief when they were terrified, and finally convinced that they were lions, not other species.

From meeting the hunting team to now, in a short period of time, the merchants have a more concrete understanding of Ye An's strength.Especially for the first-timers, everything in front of them is novel and shocking.

They gradually got rid of the initial nervousness and began to look forward to this amazing journey full of unknowns.
