Ye An

The fire surrounded the tortoiseshell house, and the flames rose several meters high, and Ye An and the others could not extinguish it at all.

In order to prevent the fire from spreading to the dense forest, Ye An and the old man worked together to dig a isolation zone in the snow.The little girl couldn't move the big pieces of snow, so she rolled them into snowballs and widened the isolation zone along the direction Ye An and the old man drove.

The poisonous insects have retreated to the dense forest and hid under the snow again. Even with spar powder, they cannot adapt to the cold of the snow season.

Birds fly to the branches, and bats hang from the branches, gathering together to resist the cold wind.

Ye An dug out a large isolation zone, straightened up and looked at the fire point, the anger in his chest was still not completely extinguished, after all, it was not as violent as before.

Ling Lan got up from the sleigh and wanted to come to help, but was stopped by Ye An.

"Your leg is still not good, don't move around, be careful to aggravate the injury."

The silver-white wolf king didn't approach, and kept a distance from the pack of wolves brought back by Ye An, threatening each other and roaring in warning.

Ye An dug up a large expanse of snow to ensure that the fire would not burn here. He sat on a high snowdrift and looked at the confronting wolves. Finally, he couldn't help shaking his head and beckoning to the little girl.

"Xiao Zhu, bring me two pieces of jerky, the red one."

The little girl pushed the snowballs together, clapped her hands, turned and ran towards the sled, picked up two pieces of jerky about her height, and walked towards Ye An.The action inevitably attracted the attention of the wolves, and the little girl only looked up a few times before continuing to walk in the direction of Ye An.

The child's intuition is the keenest. She knows that wolves are fierce, and that any wolf can tear her apart.But she also knew that with Ye An and her grandfather around, no wolf could hurt her.

"Here." Passing the jerky to Ye An, the little girl planned to go back to work.

Ye An jumped off the snowdrift, lifted the little girl up and put him where he was originally sitting. When the little girl looked at him puzzled, he wrapped her in animal skins, tore off a piece of dried meat and handed it to her, saying: "take a break."

The little girl subconsciously looked at her grandfather. The old man knew Ye An's intentions were good, so he didn't say much, told the little girl to be obedient, and planned to continue to widen the isolation zone.

"Uncle Wang, take a break too." Ye An walked to the old man, raised his hand to catch a falling snowflake, and said, "The snow is getting bigger, this fire won't last long."

The old man inserted the board into the snow, straightened his waist, and looked up at the sky. The dark clouds covered the sky, and it might be another snowstorm.

The mutant beasts felt a little restless when they sensed the change in the weather.

Ye An tore up the dried meat in his hand and threw it to the birds and bats, letting them find habitats on the island.

The bat accidentally entered the bottom of the pool and found a spacious cave.The birds went into the forest, selected two luxuriant mutant trees, took part of the hay from the sled, and built nests on the trees to rest.

The herd of reindeer and antelope did not stay long either. The herd of reindeer got the spar they longed for, and under the leadership of the leader, they headed to the south side of the island, preparing to escape the snowstorm.

The herd of antelopes did not go far, bypassing the rocky mountain, and hid in the cave where the spring emerged to protect the cubs.

The mutated dogs were kept by Ye An's side, and they will be needed for traveling, hunting and transporting supplies in the future.

In addition, Ye An intervened in the confronting wolves, gave some golden eagle meat and brown bear meat, and finally succeeded in persuading the two parties to make peace.

The silver-white wolf king led the pack of wolves back to the west of the island, and another pack of mutated wolves chased after the reindeer pack to the south of the island.Even if they walked together all the way and chased Hexiang and others together, the relationship between wolves and deer would still not change fundamentally. They were still hunters and prey, hunters and hunted.

The mutated beasts left one after another, and the snow in the sky was getting bigger and bigger.

Under the snow cover, the fire surrounding the Turtle House gradually diminished until it was completely extinguished, revealing the scorched roof.

Ye An asked Ling Lan to take the old man and the little girl to rest in the cave, and sent the mutant dog and sled to the cave at the bottom of the mountain.

The cave leads to the hiding place of the antelope, and a huge beehive hangs in the middle.

Ye An checked the beehive and found that most of the bees were resting and fell into a state similar to hibernation. He wanted to put the bees brought back in, but was firmly rejected by the other party.

"It's not your own nest, so you can't enter?"

Knowing what the bee meant, Ye An didn't force it, wrapped the bee in animal skins, continued to carry it in his arms, turned around and went to the cave with the mutant python.

Before falling into the abyss, he stored a large amount of supplies, some of them were placed in the turtle shell house, and some were left in the cave where the mutant python was sleeping.

A fire burned everything in the turtle house. He hoped that the supplies in the cave would be safe, otherwise he would have to hurry up and hunt. After all, the dried meat he brought back could hardly last the whole winter.

Walking along the tunnel, Ye An can see everything in the tunnel without lighting a torch.He couldn't tell when the change occurred, and it was probably related to the absorbed spar energy.

Passing through the deep tunnel, the eyes suddenly opened up.

The mutated python slid to the depths of the cave, coiled up its body again, rested its head on its body, vomited at Ye An, closed its eyes, and fell into a deep sleep again.

Ye An didn't disturb it, and quickly walked to the wooden box piled up by the wall, inspected the animal skins piled on top of the box, and turned over the weapons and tools inside, and found that they were all in good condition.

The stored jerky didn't go bad, it was just hard as a rock.There was not much millet left, and most of it was burned along with the flames.

There are still seven bags of salt and seasoning, and there are not many medicines, especially the bottles of precious wound medicine obtained from the merchant ship. They are all stored in the turtle house, and it is estimated that they have been burned to coke at this moment.

"Forget it, it's good to have these left." Ye An exhaled, pulled out a few from the bundle of animal skins, and planned to send them to the cave.

Unexpectedly, just as he turned around, several balls of white fur suddenly rushed to his feet, and one of them was still climbing up his legs.Fortunately, Ye An reacted in time and held down the foot that was about to be kicked, otherwise, relying on the instinctive reaction of the body, several fur balls would be kicked away.

The ferret circled around Ye An's calf, and one climbed onto Ye An's shoulder, barking a few times quickly, with its little paw pointing out of the hole, obviously there was something to show him.

"it is good."

Ye An put the animal skin on his back, took out a short knife from the box, walked out of the burrow following the ferret's will, walked through the dark tunnel, and returned to the ground.

The snow fell heavily. Before entering the cave, the snow had only reached Ye An's ankles, but now it was close to his knees.

The ferret ran and jumped ahead, stopping from time to time to wait for Ye An.

Ye An unfolded a piece of animal skin and wrapped it around his body, followed the ferret to a mutated tree.The ferret used its front paws to dig through the snow, revealing the hole hidden under the tree.

"Dig here?" Ye An asked the ferret.

The ferret on his shoulder barked in the affirmative.

Ye An squatted down, first pushed the snow away, then found a few hard branches, and lifted the hard soil covering the hole, the ferret quickly got in, and took out several wooden bottles covered in mud.

Feeling familiar, Ye An brushed away the dirt on it, picked up one to look carefully, and was surprised to find that these were the wound medicines he stored in the wooden house, and they were the most precious ones.

The ferret found out all the wound medicines hidden under the tree, and then puffed out its chest, looking very proud.

"Thanks, well done!"

Not disappointing the ferrets, Ye An took out a spar, crushed it and distributed it to them.

Putting away the medicine bottle, Ye An wanted to take the ferret to the cave, but the latter climbed to the top of the tree with the spar in his arms, obviously intending to stay outside.

Ye An didn't force it, and returned to the rocky mountain alone, dragging the rope to climb up the cave.

A fire had already been lit in the cave, and Lily of the Valley and the old man were sitting by the hearth, melting the snow with the cooking utensils brought back by Ye An, and preparing to cook a pot of broth with jerky.

Sitting next to the old man, the little girl cut up the dried meat with a bone knife and piled it on the plate.

The cave of Lily of the Valley was also occupied by invaders, and a lot of food and medicinal materials in the cave were ruined, and animal skins and weapons were not spared either.

Fortunately, Ye An brought back a lot of supplies, and Lily of the Valley threw all the ruined things, including the medicine bottles carved by her own hands, into the fire.

The flames rose up, and the snow water in the pot began to boil.

Ye An put the animal skin by the fire, took the plate from the little girl's hand, put the dried meat into the pot, took out a bag of salt, and sprinkled some into the soup.

"There is still some food in storage, plus the ones brought back, it can last for about two months." Ye An sat on the ground, unfolded a few animal skins, and handed them to Lily of the Valley and grandparents after warming them up.

Lily of the Valley wrapped the animal skin around her body, and gave birth to an edible mutated plant, which she cut open and put into the soup.

"It looks like this snow will last for a few days. Since there is enough food, don't go out for the time being. I will spawn more plants."

"It depends." Ye An picked up a spoon, scooped up the boiling soup and blew it, tested the saltiness, and added a piece of frozen brown bear blood to the soup.The blood and flesh of the mutant brown bear are rich in energy, which can help several people better resist the cold.

The broth was bubbling and bubbling, and the aroma filled the cavern.

Ye An remembered the mutated yam he brought back, got up and ran out of the cave, and soon returned with a package.

"This is?"

Lily of the valley took the mutated yam, observed it carefully for a while, and tore off a piece of outer skin, pinched a small piece from the inside and put it into her mouth.

"How about it, can I eat it?" Ye An asked.

"Yes." Lily of the Valley rewrapped the yam, nodded and said, "When I recover from my injury, I can reproduce it in large quantities. Not only can this mutated plant be eaten, but it should also be used as medicine."

While talking, the broth rolled and jumped out of the edge of the pot. Several people hurriedly moved the soup pot off the floor, put the hot soup into a bowl, and let it warm up slightly. Even the soup and meat were eaten until the bottom of the pot was seen, and the hands and feet were warm stand up.

That night, the four of them rested in a cave. Ye An and the old man took turns to watch the night. The seriously injured Ling Lan hugged the little girl and wrapped her body in animal skins. After several days of hiding, she finally had a peaceful sleep.

At dawn, the fire in the hearth had been extinguished, and it was getting cold in the cave.

Ye An told the old man to continue to rest, lit the fire again, boiled a pot of hot water, and planned to go to the cave where the mutated dog rested.

As soon as he reached the entrance of the cave, Feixue rushed towards him, hitting his face with shards of ice, no less than being hit by a stone.

Ye An wrapped up the animal skin tightly, put down the rope and slid out of the cave. Just as his feet hit the ground, his whole body sank instantly, and the snow did not reach his thighs, which shows how heavy the snowstorm last night was.

In order to avoid the cold wind, Ye An moved as close to the rock wall as possible, came to the place where the mutated dog was resting, pushed the sled away from the wind, and found that the mutated dog was tearing the dried meat left by him, and several puppies were beside their mother. Chasing and fighting, it doesn't look like they can't stand the cold at all.

Ye An bent down to pick up a puppy, and the puppy immediately wagged its tail at him and barked twice lively.Ye An couldn't hold back, he stretched out his finger and poked the puppy's round belly, I have to say, it feels really good.

Leaving the cave, Ye An went to the tortoise shell house that was destroyed by fire.

The whole house was charred black, and everything inside was gone.

After a night of heavy snow, the roof was covered with snow.Remove the frozen blocks of snow, revealing large areas of scorched tortoise shells, in stark contrast to the silvery white everywhere.

Ye An suddenly had a strange feeling that there seemed to be energy surging under the scorched blackness.

In order to confirm what he was thinking, Ye An took out a short knife, smashed the scorched carapace with the back of the knife, and then carefully pried it open with the blade. A large piece of transparent tortoise shell came into view, which showed that it was crystal clear like jade. This is the carapace of a snapping turtle.

As the outer carapace was pried open, the sense of energy became clearer.

Ye An stuck the dagger into the snow, with the tortoise shell covering his palm, astonishing energy poured into his body, no less than the spar he brought back.This energy is different from spar, but it is very similar, and can be absorbed by him smoothly.

Looking at the tortoise shell in front of him, and looking at his palm, Ye An swallowed subconsciously, his heart began to beat wildly, the speed continued to soar, almost jumping out of his chest.
