Ye An

Ye An intentionally left before the fork in the road, but before Xiao Yun could answer, the sound of roaring water suddenly came from behind the two of them.

The sound of the water is getting louder and louder, shaking the eardrums, like the sound of thunder, which is creepy.

Almost in an instant, an astonishing torrent of gravel and corpses of mutant beasts rushed in, swept the entire passage, and set off huge waves with mud and bones, almost destroying people.

The mutated bat conveyed an emotion of panic. If it hadn't been assimilated by Ye An, it would have fled away with wings.

Ye An didn't have time to think about it, and ran forward with the fastest speed to keep up with the bat, just wanting to avoid the flood far away.

No matter how spacious the tunnel is, it is no better than an open area. Even if it is an open area, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be destroyed by such a big wave.

Ye An didn't know which way Xiao Yun took, and he didn't have time to think about it. As the sound of water approached, he felt more and more dangerous. Like a beast, reduced to a skeleton in the dark tunnel.

The bats were hovering above their heads, and the anxious emotions kept coming, clearly urging Ye An to hurry up, hurry up, danger is coming!

Ye An has tried his best, breaking out for a short time, running fast for a long time, his speed is close to the limit, his lungs are about to explode, his legs are as soft as noodles, and his feet are like cotton, but he still dare not stop.

The sound of running thunder was close at hand, he didn't dare to turn back, and tried his best to run forward, but was still drowned by the waves the next moment.

The raging flood submerged him, and the broken stones and dead mutant beasts rolled in the water, hitting the wall from time to time, making dull noises.

During the collision, the stones further shattered and turned into pieces of irregular gravel, which were carried forward by the water waves.The corpse of the mutated beast was swollen with bubbles, and when it reached the limit, it burst like a balloon, and the rotten flesh and blood floated on the water surface, giving off an unpleasant smell.

Ye An was struggling underwater. He couldn't open his eyes, so he could only rely on his intuition to step on the water, rowing his arms vigorously, and kept swimming upwards.

Corrupted mutated beast flesh and debris kept flowing by, Ye An had no time to take care of it, his lungs were already about to burst, his ear drums were buzzing, and his eyes were aching because he couldn't breathe.

He must breathe fresh air, he must live!

Ye An was like a struggling fish, struggling to split the water waves. When the soles of his feet touched a huge bluestone slab, he kicked his legs and went up in an instant. gasping.

Due to holding his breath for a long time, his chest seemed to be pulling a bellows, his ears buzzed, and black spots appeared in his vision, like bugs constantly flying around.

Ye An wiped off the water from his face, threw away a bone that rushed to his side, and waited until his panting subsided, locked on the direction of the mutated bat, swung his sore limbs, and swam forward with all his strength.

The water waves keep coming, Ye An is like a solitary boat, floating and sinking in the torrent.

He wasn't sure why the water in the tunnel suddenly rose. The only thing he knew was that no matter how difficult it was, even if his hands and feet no longer looked like his own, he had to try his best to escape from here.

During the swimming process, the spar tied to Ye An's body quietly shattered, the energy inside the spar was completely exhausted, and the fragments showed a lifeless off-white color, not only could not be compared with the brilliance when they first saw it, but also compared with the brilliance on the surface. The wet pebbles are also very different.

Ye An could feel the change of the spar, and knew that he could no longer obtain energy from the spar.The only good thing is that before the spar was completely shattered, the remaining energy helped him recover a little physical strength, allowing him to continue to float on the water and not sink under the water due to exhaustion.

The front is getting brighter and brighter, and the light falls on the water, symbolizing the hope of life.

Ye An pulled himself together and continued to swing his sore arms, desperately trying to get out of the flood and leave the underground passage.

After a turn, the front suddenly opened up.

The dazzling sunlight falling from the top of the head symbolizes that the night has passed, and it also indicates that the tunnel has come to an end. As long as he climbs up, he can get rid of the raging flood and gain temporary safety.

However, Ye An was attracted by something and floated on the water, but he didn't take any further action for a long time.

The tunnel exit he was in was shaped like a patio, square, with stone ladders climbing up on both sides, and a broken stone platform sank in the guard of the wall.Five or six fist-sized coke-shaped crushed stones were scattered around the stone platform. The surface of the stones was covered with cracks. Dazzling light leaked out from the cracks, and at the same time, the energy Ye An was familiar with overflowed.

Ye An couldn't control the dryness of his throat, his whole body was surrounded by energy, and the sense of comfort kept washing over his limbs and bones.The soreness in the body gradually receded, and the heavy breathing began to become steady. The new wounds scabbed and fell off one after another, leaving inconspicuous marks.

Everything, the process is exactly the same as in the underground river.

The flood water level is getting higher and higher, almost submerging the patio.

Ye An took the initiative to sink into the water and picked up two pieces of gravel. The stone skin on the surface of the stone quickly peeled off, one layer after another, and soon only two spars the size of quail eggs remained.

Ye An quickly floated to the surface of the water to take a breath, wrapped the spar with cloth strips, wrapped it tightly around his body, and then sank into the water again, doing this three times, and got a total of five spar.

Floating to the surface with the harvest, Ye An grabbed a smooth stone ladder and quickly climbed up to the patio.Before he could stand still, the overwhelming sound of flapping wings suddenly came.

Hundreds of birds were startled, fluttering their wings and flying from the ground, forming a large red cloud in mid-air, changing their shapes in a flash, and rushing towards him with singing.

Surrounding the patio is a habitat for birds, and the energy under the patio is familiar to them.The stone skin peeled off to reveal crystals, which made the energy more pure. Ye An carried it on his body, and the birds were stimulated. Even if they didn't attack Ye An immediately, they hovered over his head like dark clouds, surrounding him heavily.

The mutated bat flew out of the courtyard first. When encountering so many birds, and in the daytime when it was not dominant, they could only find the stone pillars leaning on the ground to hide upside down, and did not dare to fight head-on.

Ye An put his hands on the edge of the patio, stood up and faced the birds, frantically absorbed the energy in the spar, released a terrifying will, and gradually covered the entire flock of birds.

The chirping of the birds ceased one after another, leaving only the sound of fluttering wings.

Covered by Ye An's will, more than a thousand birds gradually lost their hostility and irritability, and began to circle him to obtain the energy overflowed by the spar.Five or six more boldly approached Ye An, landed on his shoulders and on top of his head, and let out cheerful and melodious calls.

Ye An spread out his palms, and the bird on top of his head jumped onto his hand. The small golden claws were very sharp, but he was careful not to scratch his skin. The feathers on his back were extremely dazzling in the sun, like a burning cloud of fire. .

The bird tilted its small round head, flapped its wings twice, and the feathers on its chest were fluffy, just like a ball of fur.With strong willpower, Ye An didn't reach out to poke it.

The flood water poured out of the courtyard, but did not diffuse, but flowed along a canal paved with bluestone.

Ye An raised his eyes and suddenly found himself in the ruins of a city. Collapsed buildings can be seen everywhere, and bluestone paved roads and canals extend in all directions.

The channel he was in before was clearly the city's water diversion channel. As long as the bluestone slab was lifted, a steady stream of water would flow into the channel and flow into the city along the channel for the use of the whole city.

Who did such a large project?

Why was this city destroyed, and how long was it destroyed?

Countless questions arose in Ye An's mind. Thinking of the bluestone slabs on the arc island and the underground river running through it, he had some kind of speculation in his heart.

If the guess is true, the area of ​​the city is probably beyond imagination.

Ever since he came to this world, Ye An has been wandering outside the city, and the settlements have been approached, but the process was not pleasant, which led him to insist on living in isolation, and never thought of being close to the crowd.

The ruins in front of him were the first time he set foot in a human city, even if it had been destroyed and abandoned.

Water flowed into the canal continuously, washing away the mud and gravel blocked in the canal, and the muddy water mixed with dead branches and grass began to surge forward.

The canal gradually came back to life, running through the ruins, showing Ye An the whole picture of the city.

The birds are abundant and surround the patio, occupying a large habitat right in the heart of the city.

Their nests are built among the fallen buildings, using the stone foundations and masonry protruding from the ground as protection, collecting large clumps of hay, which is quite comfortable.

There are neatly arranged pits between the brick walls, which should be erected house pillars. Since the wood is used, it has been aged for a long time, and only a few fragments are left scattered around, which become clues to glimpse the original appearance.

Ye An walked forward along the canal, and the birds flapped their wings and flew around him, like a large group of red clouds flying around.

There are shadows formed by flocks of birds, enough to block the glare of the sun. It is noisy, but it is much better than being exposed to the scorching sun.

The canal is flowing again, and the birds don't need to go to the dark river waterfall to drink water. After flying a certain distance, they will separate a batch of feathers in the canal to soak their chests, which can not only cool themselves down, but also bring more benefits to Ye An. Cool.

Ye An found a large number of fish patterns in the ruins, some of which have been weathered, and some of which are intact. Except for some differences in drawing and carving techniques, the shape is almost exactly the same as what he saw before.

Passing through the two canals, Ye An found another patio. There was the sound of roaring water coming from the mouth of the well. A large group of bats flew out of the patio. They immediately searched for a dark place and hid themselves from the scorching sun.

After the bat, a pair of white to transparent hands grabbed the edge of the mouth of the well. The next moment, the owner of the hands jumped out of the yard. It was Xiao Yun who was separated from Ye An by the flood.

After Xiao Yun, there were hunters who had never been seen.

In order to avoid the flood, Xiao Yun entered another passage, and unexpectedly met Jason, Rose and others who were drawn into the ground.

They were trapped in a small small room, which should be the place where the water gate was hidden. Several bluestones crossed the wall, trapping them firmly.Fortunately, Xiao Yun was forced here by the flood, otherwise, not only would they not be able to get out, they might be drowned in the ground by the flood.

The hunters returned to the ground, looking a little embarrassed. Jason even lost his weapon, so he could only pick up a stone to defend himself.

Ye An found Xiao Yun and others, who also saw him.Unlike in the tunnel, the two sides are not facing an existential crisis, and there is no more trust between each other.

Thinking of the spar found in the courtyard, the long knife on Xiao Yun's body and the discovery in the ruins, Ye An's nerves became tense.Moreover, he could clearly feel that Xiao Yun had discovered the spar on his body.

Infected by his emotions, the birds also became tense and uttered high-pitched chirps.

The atmosphere froze for a while, and there was a bit of tension.
