Ye An

A bonfire was lit in the camp, and the golden carving meat was cut into palm-sized thick slices, skewered on tree branches and grilled.The golden oil slipped into the fire, detonated the splashing sparks, and made a crackling sound, and the tempting aroma quickly permeated.

Golden carving meat is rich in energy, the meat is very tough, and it is very fragrant when grilled. It makes people swallow unconsciously, but it is not so hard when bitten. It is not an exaggeration to say that if you are not careful, your teeth may be pulled out.

The meal lasted for more than an hour, and the price for everyone to eat was the collective cheek pain.

Ye An threw the leftover broken bones into the fire while rubbing his cheeks.This was the first time he ate the meat of the mutated golden eagle. The taste was not bad, but it was too laborious to eat.

Due to the limited time, the hunters did not build huts, but only collected stones and branches to surround the camp, and took turns guarding at night to guard against possible mutant beasts.

Ye An even skipped this procedure, and the herd of antelope followed him, forming a circle.The birds landed on the horns of the antelope and crowded together.Bats are used to being active at night, so there is no need to worry about vigilance in the middle of the night.

After eating barbecue, Ye An leaned on the antelope and stretched comfortably. His leisurely look made the hunters envious.

There is a lot of golden carving meat left, Ye An really can't finish it, it would be a pity to throw it all away, cut off the thicker part and roast it on the fire, intending to make it into dried meat to take with him.The rest was divided among birds and bats, and partly by antelope.Like the mutant deer, the mutant antelope can eat meat, but they still like to eat grass and plant roots most of the time.

With the dripping of grease, the bonfire continued to explode, and dazzling sparks splashed, spinning and dancing in the darkness.

Ye An sat on the ground, occasionally turning the branch with the golden carving meat on it, propping his chin with one hand, thinking about the way to go next.

It is close to the exit of the dark river, allowing the bat swarm to enter the ground from the waterfall and go upstream along the waterway.

There are bees on the ground to guide the direction. With the speed of the antelope, as long as they don't encounter too much trouble, they should be able to keep up with the bat.If he can maintain contact with the bats over long distances, he can find the shortest route without worrying about water sources along the way.

The more Ye An thought about it, the more feasible it became. He looked up at the bats circling in the night sky, and conveyed his meaning to them. The group of bats began to gather, and then divided into two parts. One part stayed with Ye An, and the other part flapped its wings towards the dark River waterfall flies away.

As the distance continued to grow, Ye An tried to concentrate as much as possible to test his limit.

Through the connection with the bats, he can clearly grasp the direction of the bat swarm and confirm whether the bat swarm has entered the ground.

After entering the ground, the bat swarm encountered rushing currents, found lizards climbing on the rock wall, locked on fish shoals jumping out of the water from time to time, and mantis shrimps moving in groups.

The bats continued to move forward, and the connection between them began to weaken. Ye An knew in his heart that his limit had been reached.

Holding a spar, Ye An recalled the bat that had explored the path.

After a while, the bat swarm came back from the Dark River Waterfall.They did not return empty-handed, bringing back a dozen bitten lizards.

Ye An had seen mutant lizards before and knew they were very dangerous.I found a few bone spurs erected under the claws of the bats, and immediately picked up a bone and smashed it over.

The lizard was killed on the spot, and the bats threw the body to the ground. More bats pounced on them, tearing off the tough skin and biting the flesh inside.Apparently, they prefer the taste of lizards to golden eagle meat.

This is quite different from birds.

When the bats brought back the lizards, the birds lost interest after looking up a few times. Even though the smell of blood filled the air, they didn't let them open their eyes again.

The movement on Ye An's side attracted the attention of the hunters. When they found out that it was an underground river lizard, everyone was a little moved. They turned their heads to look at Xiao Yun, and asked if they could change a few.

"City Master, there is no wound medicine in the team. The bone spurs of this lizard are very useful." Rose said.

Xiao Yun looked over the bonfire and met Ye An who was looking up.After a while, Xiao Yun got up and walked over, negotiating with Ye An across the herd of antelopes.

"You said it was wound medicine?" Ye An mentioned a piece of lizard skin that had been eaten by bats, with a row of bone spurs hanging from it.At the same time, the antelope moved to allow Xiao Yun to pass.

Xiao Yun walked to the fire, and sat on the ground like Ye An, with the long knife beside him.

"Peel off the outer membrane and grind the bones inside. It's not as good as a special wound medicine, but it can stop bleeding and pain." Xiao Yun said.

"I didn't expect that." Ye An tried to pull off the bone spur, but failed, so he could only spread the lizard skin on the ground and pry it with a dagger.

Pry off a few bone spurs, peel off the outer membrane according to Xiao Yun's instructions, revealing a snow-white piece of bone, the thickness of a little finger, and the jelly-like pith after being cut, mixed together and smashed to form a milky white ointment.

Ye An picked it up with the tip of a knife and brought it under his nose to smell it. It didn't smell too pungent, only a little fishy, ​​which was indeed similar to wound medicine.

"How do you plan to change it?" Ye An cut off a piece of golden eagle's bone, dug out the inside, and filled it with ointment.

Xiao Yun didn't take any more crystals, but cut off a piece of the octopus tooth that he carried with him, and handed it to Ye An.

"Exchange this?" Ye An looked at Xiao Yun.

"Correct."

"Do you know what this can do?" Ye An continued to ask.

"I know." Xiao Yun put away the long knife and handed the cut octopus teeth to Ye An, "I don't need too much, I have enough left."

"Okay." Seeing Xiao Yun's insistence, Ye An did not refuse, took the cut octopus teeth, and handed over some lizard skins.

Xiao Yun didn't stay long, and returned to the camp with the lizard skin. As for how to divide the bone spurs, it was none of Ye An's business, and he didn't bother to explore.

As the night deepened, the hunters arranged the order of vigil and began to take turns to rest.

Xiao Yun sat by the fire, with one long leg bent, his eyes piercing the darkness, looking in the direction of the ruins, wondering what he was thinking.

Rose and Jason were in the first round of vigil. Jason was sitting by the stone pile. Rose walked up to Xiao Yun, put the spar brought out of the ruins in front of Xiao Yun, and said, "City Master, this is me and Jason, Iron Ax and the others."

Seriously speaking, the spar and the octopus arms were the trophies of Xiao Yun and Ye An. Except for cutting off a section of the octopus arms, the hunters did not help much.The octopus teeth that Xiao Yun cut off in exchange for wound medicine with Ye An this time, except for a few greedy ones who can't see the situation clearly, everyone else knows that they are not qualified to share the spoils.

"Also, Rhodes has a problem." Rose put down the spar and told Xiao Yun what she found.

Without evidence, it's not easy to attack Rhodes for the time being, but she doesn't plan to let him go.

There is such an uncertain factor in the team, it is too dangerous.Going out of the city to hunt is a risk of life. If Rhodes is as timid as before, it will be tantamount to exposing other companions to danger.

"No hurry." Xiao Yun held up the long knife, and turned the two crystals with his slender fingers.The surface of the spar reflects the fire, and its color is extremely dazzling.

Since Xiao Yun said so, Rose stopped talking, got up and walked to the edge of the camp, patted Jason on the shoulder to let him rest, and replaced herself in half an hour.

Ye An didn't feel much sleepy, so he simply leaned on the antelope, dried the golden carving meat and sliced ​​octopus arms and legs, and made them into portable jerky.

The bat group took turns to go to the dark river, bringing back more mutated lizards, and even brought back half a mantis shrimp for the companions injured in the previous battle, as well as the baby bats that had not yet grown up.

Ye An was busy making jerky, and didn't pay attention to how the bats hunted. Seeing the mantis prawns without their heads and claws, only their tails remained, they looked at the bats with shock in their eyes.

He had seen the fighting power of these mantis shrimps firsthand, knew how strong they were, how did the bats do it?

The swarm of bats kept flying to the dark river waterfall, and kept returning with their prey.The lizard bone spurs collected by Ye An have piled up into hills, and there are not a few mantis shrimp shells that have been peeled off.

Out of curiosity, he cut off a piece of shrimp meat and roasted it on the fire. A unique fragrance wafted through his mouth. When he ate it, it was extraordinarily delicious and crisp. Even without seasoning, it was far better than leafy shrimp. Any kind of mutated animal meat that Ann has eaten.

"pity."

The meat of the mantis shrimp starts to shrink when it leaves the shell, and it is more difficult to preserve than the golden carving meat. Ye An can only taste it, and can't dry it and take it with him.Shrimp shells can be washed and used as containers, which are more suitable for containing ointments made from lizard bone spurs than golden eagle bones.

After being busy until midnight, the bats that went out to hunt came back one after another. Ye An put down his dagger, yawned, and finally felt a little sleepy.

The bee stayed on Ye An's shoulder very quietly, without even flapping its wings, it really looked like a few round longan.

Ye An sealed the shrimp shells filled with ointment with bark and golden eagle feathers, tied them together with a rope made of bark, and put them on the antelope's back.

The antelope turned its head and took a look, startling the birds perched on its horns. After a while of chirping, the fire quickly returned to calm.

Bats were guarding the surroundings. Ye An couldn't bear the drowsiness. He put the dagger and half-cut knife at hand, leaned against the antelope, and fell asleep quickly.

The night sky is full of stars, and the silver light is scattered all over the place.

Mutant beasts appeared around the camp from time to time, but they were frightened by the threat of bats, and they dared not approach them. Finally, they couldn't bear the hunger and turned around to look for easier prey.

In the early morning of the next day, all the bonfires were extinguished, Ye An, Xiao Yun and others had a rare good night's sleep.

It was impossible to go back to the ruins, so everyone discussed and set foot on the way home together.

The bat swarm entered the dark river waterfall and disappeared underground.Ye An sat on the back of the antelope, always keeping in touch with the bat swarm, making sure not to go in the wrong direction.

The birds fluttered their wings and flew up, gathering above Ye An's head, like clouds shielding him from the scorching sun.Bees flapping their wings on antelope horns convey joy and anticipation of returning to the hive.

Unlike Ye An, the hunters could only rely on their legs to move forward.

There is no threat to their lives, and they don't want to give away the precious spar, so the antelope will naturally not carry them on their backs.Under Ye An's guidance, they kept a certain distance from each other and walked together in a strange way.

Leaving the Dark River Waterfall, the team trekked along the dry riverbed, encountering many mutant beasts migrating in search of water.Due to the existence of the spar, several conflicts broke out between the team and the mutated beasts, all of which ended in the defeat of the mutated beasts.

After encountering several waves of mutant beasts in a row, the group finally encountered the first human hunting team.

This hunting team consisted of five refitted vehicles with more than [-] people, with thousands of cities marks on the body, they suddenly appeared in the evening, roaring towards the camp set up by the hunters.

Ye An was leading the herd of antelopes to look for food, and they were not near the camp. The members of the hunting team thought that what they encountered was a group of homeless people, and they ran into it recklessly.

As everyone knows, the hunters in the camp saw the modified car rushing towards them, their eyes were red.After walking for these days, my legs became numb, as if they didn't belong to me. When I was in distress, someone took the initiative to deliver it to my door!

A transparent layer of ice spread across the camp, the roar of the engine became louder and quieter, and the car body was soon covered in frost.

The Qiancheng people in the car realized something was wrong, but it was too late.The hunters in the camp had already picked up their weapons and rushed forward like a pack of hungry wolves.
