Ye An

After the destruction of Haicheng, very few people went on ocean voyages unless they had to.

Regardless of the large-scale fleet or a small number of organized merchant ships, they all traveled between inland rivers and lakes.A very small number of people go into the sea to search for pharmaceutical materials, and most of them are active near the coastline, and they rarely sail far away.

It was the first time the little whale saw humans, and was full of curiosity about Ye An and Xiao Yun.It wasn't the female sperm whale who stopped, and wanted to try to take a bite or two to taste the taste.Not out of hostility or appetite, but pure curiosity.

Adult sperm whales are the polar opposite of juveniles.

Haicheng was destroyed by the tsunami, and the ocean-going fleet disappeared for 30 years.In the long life of a mutant whale, 30 years seems like a long time, which is not a long time.

Decades ago, male sperm whales encountered ocean-going fleets. They had conflicts, but also lived in harmony. They also followed the fleets to hunt together and got a lot of prey.

For humans, adult sperm whales have very complex perceptions. They will neither be hostile like mutant octopuses, nor will they easily release goodwill. They are always vigilant and keep a certain distance.

The cubs were restrained by the mother whale, and they were not allowed to get close to Ye An and Xiao Yun.In this matter, the adult sperm whale is firm, and it is useless for the baby whale to act like a baby.

Ye An's headache symptoms were further relieved, he felt the emotions and thinking of the sperm whale, and tried to express his kindness.

"Don't get close to them, and don't make any moves." Ye An reminded Xiao Yun in a low voice. He didn't take the risk of assimilating with adult whales, but just tried his best to let the other party know that he was not hostile and would not pose any threat to them.

Ye An's move worked.

The adult sperm whale recalled the calf and stopped looking at the two of them. After communicating with each other, they spewed out several jets of water and slowly sank underwater.

Ye An knew that they hadn't gone far, but he didn't have the mind to explore, so he used the spar to recover his strength, and swam to the shore with Xiao Yun.

The hunters who rushed into the sea witnessed the death process of the mutated octopus, and were in awe of the whales. Seeing that Xiao Yun was not in danger for the time being, they retreated to the shore one after another, and were vigilant about the situation in the water.

The group of whales was cruising underwater and had not returned to the deep sea for the time being, nor did they intend to embarrass the two who fell into the water.They could feel the crystals hidden in Ye An and Xiao Yun's bodies, but they had no intention of snatching them.To the sperm whales, the spars are alluring, but not worth fighting for.

If one wants to obtain energy, one can dive into the deep sea, and the spars that fall into the seabed and are preserved are far more than those on land.

The reason why Haicheng can hide spars has a lot to do with the ocean-going fleet in the city.Every time the fleet goes to sea, they not only search for prey, but also mutants dive into the water, looking for these energy spars.

With the help of the spar's energy, Haicheng continued to grow, but it also attracted sea monsters.

In the tsunami and earthquake, the city was destroyed and the fleet was destroyed. The city people either died in the disaster or were displaced.Years passed and the survivors never returned home.

The sperm whales sank into the water one after another, and the little whale was a little bit reluctant. Under the call of its mother, it swung its tail and sprayed a jet of water from the top of its head, and quickly disappeared from Ye An's sight.

The group of whales disappeared into the sea, and the empty waters quickly became lively.

The mutated schools of fish that escaped returned one after another, gathering continuously to compete for the minced meat left by the sperm whales.The teeth of the octopus were too hard for the school of fish to crush. They surfaced in the waves and were just pushed to Ye An's side.

Lily of the Valley's words flashed through his mind, Ye An reached out to pick up the octopus teeth, wrapped them with a piece of cloth wrapped around the spar, and tied them directly to his body.Xiao Yun picked up the other one, made sure that nothing was left behind, and signaled to Ye An, and continued to swim towards the coast.

In the previous battle, the two suffered severe physical loss. If Ye An hadn't attracted the sperm whale, it was hard to guarantee that they would not have died in the mouth of the mutated octopus.Now that the mutated octopus has been torn to pieces, the school of fish is busy fighting for the pieces of meat. As long as they are careful enough, their lives will not be threatened.

Getting closer and closer to the shore, Ye An and Xiao Yun slowed down at the same time, and the familiar energy fluctuations came from the water, which was extremely weak, almost invisible.The two looked at each other, took a deep breath at the same time, quickly dived underwater, and swam towards the place where the energy fluctuated.

The hunters on the shore didn't know what happened. Seeing Xiao Yun and Ye An suddenly disappear underwater, they couldn't help feeling anxious.

"What's going on, is it dangerous?"

"And monsters?"

In desperation, Jason was about to rush into the sea again, but was stopped by Rose, who pointed to the surface of the sea, signaling him to be calm.In the next moment, Xiao Yun and Ye An broke through the water, stayed for a short time, and disappeared under the water again.

The hunters suddenly realized that it was not because they were in danger, but because there was something underwater that attracted them, so they did not go ashore.

"What could it be?" Jason asked curiously.

"I don't know." Rose shook her head, even though she knew that Xiao Yun was not in danger, she was still vigilant all the time, and her eyes never left the water.

Under the surface of the sea, Ye An and Xiao Yun searched separately, and found three or four piles of sand where spars were buried.Throwing away the sand and dead shells to disperse the approaching fish, the two dug out a large number of peeled stone skins.The spar under the stone skin was all gray and white, and there was not much energy remaining, so it was of little use to them.

Surrounded by sea water, Xiao Yun and Ye An couldn't speak, they could only communicate with gestures.

Ye An waved his hand to Xiao Yun who was opposite, indicating that he didn't gain much, and Xiao Yun's feedback was the same.

There was no harvest for a long time, and the two of them didn't want to continue wasting energy, and were about to leave when a group of brightly colored mutant fish suddenly swam over, dug out the off-white spar, bit them into pieces, and swallowed the crumbs.

The school of fish was searching in the sand, and when they sensed the energy on the two of them, they naturally wouldn't let it go. They rushed up aggressively and used the spikes on their heads to attack.

Ye An quickly dodged to one side, and at the same time handed out a short knife to cut open the flank of a fish.

Stimulated by the smell of blood, the school of fish quickly surrounded them. Ye An didn't hesitate at all, he cut one knife at a time, and even grabbed the hard rock sunk in the sand, and smashed it at the mutant fish's skull.

The two-meter-long eel tried to pounce from behind, but was pierced by Xiao Yun with a long knife, and with a vertical pick, it was cut in two on the spot.

The two cooperated tacitly, and the gathered fish did not take any advantage. The broken fish body turned upside down in the water, except for sporadic escapes, the rest were killed by the knife.

Ye An dived into the bottom of the sea, dug out tough aquatic plants from the gaps in the rocks, and the two strands were entangled and passed through the gills of the fish, connecting the mutated fish that were still intact.

More than 20 mutated fish are strung on the aquatic plants, and the colorful fish tails are floating in the sea water, looking from a distance, it looks like a colorful light belt.

When Ye An was digging aquatic plants, he picked up a scallop, pried open the shell, and ground it on the stone a few times. The sharp edge was no less than a short knife, and it was very easy to use.

The scallop meat is milky white, elastic and looks quite attractive.

After floating on the surface of the sea, Ye An cut open the scallop, put one piece into his mouth, and threw the other piece to Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yun was not polite, and felt that the scallop meat tasted good. He handed Ye An the aquatic plants with mutated fish on them, and quickly dived into the water. Without much effort, he picked up more than ten scallops, which were bigger than the one Ye An found. big.

Without a net bag or sack, Xiao Yun carried the scallops in his shirt, tied up his cuffs and hem, and brought them to the shore with the mutated fish.

The hunters witnessed the whole process with disbelief on their faces.

They thought it was Xiao Yun who had made an amazing discovery, but how could they expect that it was fishing for scallops?

"What are you doing in a daze, go and help."

Rose reminded her that Jason and the others reacted quickly and stepped up to help, dragging the caught fish and scallops to the shore.

No one could have predicted that a life-and-death battle would end in this way.

Ye An found a lot of fish and shrimp scattered on the beach, all of which were sent ashore by the waves of the octopus. Most of them were dead, and a few were still struggling.Not far away were a few broken arms and legs, except for one cut off by the hunter, the rest were the result of him and Xiao Yun.

The teeth and arms and legs of the mutated octopus are good things. They are priceless in the trade zone, and they are hard to find.The most important thing is that combining these two materials can make extremely precious medicines, which are also effective against mutants.

Not all of these trophies belonged to him, Ye An began to estimate the share, thinking about how to get his share.It shouldn't be yours, Ye An won't want it, it should be yours, nothing less.

Bats, birds and bees surrounded him one after another. In the previous battle, they couldn't get close to the water, so naturally they couldn't help Ye An.Now that the alarm was lifted, the giant beast was killed by the sperm whale, and Ye An boarded the beach, the joyful emotions continued to spread, washing over Ye An's mind.

The birds even gathered into a red cloud, lifted Ye An from the ground, and were about to bring him back to the territory in the ruins.

"and many more."

Ye An stopped the flock of birds, led the bat to grab the mutated fish, turned his head to look at Xiao Yun, pointed to the octopus tentacles scattered on the beach, and said, "I'll divide the ones here into two parts, and the ones in the ruins will be counted separately, how about it? "

There was a hunter with a bad face, obviously the money was touching, and he didn't want to give him so much.

But it was Xiao Yun who made the decision.

"Yes." Xiao Yun nodded, drew out his long knife, cut off another tentacle, and said to Ye An, "Add this half, and we'll talk about the rest when we return to the camp."

Ye An was quite surprised, but he had his own principles. He didn't want any extra parts. He only let the bats and birds take what they deserved, and turned back to the ruins.

Xiao Yun and the hunters were one step behind. Without the help of birds and bats, they could only carry the spoils on their shoulders and bring them back to the camp.

Due to the destruction of the mutated octopus, the ruins were in a mess, the remaining buildings completely collapsed, and most of the stones laid on the ground were broken and collapsed.

The canals passing through the city were cut off, and the water gushing from the courtyard spread, and the low-lying areas were flooded.

The water was evaporated by the high temperature, and the ground became muddy, and soon dried up and cracked, breaking into pieces.

At a glance, most of the ruins are covered in taupe, with no bluestone and fish patterns carved on it.

It was getting late, and the hunters hurriedly rebuilt their camps and assigned some people to handle their prey.

Xiao Yun walked towards Ye An, ready to go to the square to the east of the ruins.There are several pieces of octopus tentacles left, and they need to be brought back before they are discovered by the mutant beasts.

Bats don't like light and stay near patios with bees.

The bird walked with Ye An, hovering above his head, making a melodious chirp.

Towards evening is when the birds are most active.There are prey brought back from the sea, they don't need to go out to hunt, they simply go to the square to the east of the ruins with Ye An.If Xiao Yun showed even the slightest bit of hostility, he would attack without hesitation.

The battle with the mutated octopus mainly took place in the square, where the damage was even worse.

Ye An and Xiao Yun jumped down the broken stone steps one after another, came to the center of the square carved with fish patterns, carefully crossed the broken and upturned bluestone, and searched for the octopus tentacles that fell into the pit.Finding the target, the two grabbed one end each, and the nearly three-meter-long tentacles were easily lifted back to the ground.

During the process, Ye An suddenly paused, looked at the pipeline laid under the bluestone, and vaguely noticed that there seemed to be something hidden there.
