Ye An

The swarms of bees flew into the ground and rebuilt their nests in the stone houses.

The tubers hanging on the rock wall become the best food for the bee colony. During the nesting process, bees constantly fly to the vines, cut the grown tubers into small pieces, and send them to the newly formed hive for storage.

The arrival of the bee swarm made the cave lively, and also made the few bees that strayed from the swarm extremely nervous, hovering around Ye An, conveying anxiety.

They leave the colony without a queen bee, and when they encounter the opposite colony, there is only the possibility of being crushed.

Ye An appeases the stray bees and puts them in another stone house, a few meters away from the bee colony. At the same time, he communicates with the queen bee. Even if the bee colony cannot accept these little guys, at least they can live in peace and avoid inappropriate occurrences. There are fights.

The speed of the bee swarm was very fast. In less than half a day, the hive with a length and width of more than two meters occupied the stone house.Numerous bees move in and out of the hive, passing messages to each other and perfecting the details of the hive to ensure that all members of the colony live comfortably.

"You don't want the one on the ground?"

Ye An walked to the hive and assimilated the queen bee who was guarded by the swarm.

"You really don't want it anymore?"

After getting an affirmative answer, Ye An was overjoyed immediately, and went back to the stone house to find tools and ropes, wrapped them in animal skin cloaks, and prepared to go to the ground to collect beehives.

"I'll be back soon, don't bother them, there won't be any problem. If the bats come, stop them and give them this crumble."

Ye An took out a spar and handed it to Lily of the Valley.

Lily of the Valley didn't pick up the spar, and took out a wooden bottle from her pocket, opened the bottle cap, and a strange smell wafted out, which was not unpleasant.

"What is this?" Ye An asked curiously.

"The bone marrow of several mutated beasts mixed with two mutated plants can enhance human physical strength, and it is also effective for mutated beasts." Lily of the Valley poured out two pills, milky white in color, each only the size of a date pit.

The peculiar smell became stronger and stronger, and Ye An identified it carefully, and felt that the smell was somewhat similar to mint.

"Bats like this medicine very much, and it's not difficult to prepare. It doesn't need crystals." Lily of the Valley passed the poured pills and the bottle to Ye An, motioning him to put the crystals away, "You are going to the trade zone, It is best to carry these crystals with you, maybe they will be of great use. You take this bottle of medicine and distribute it to those puppies, it will be good for them."

Ye An took the medicine bottle, put it carefully in his arms, nodded with Lily of the Valley, took the tools and left the cave, ready to go to the ground.

The osprey at the patio saw Ye An leaving, and immediately followed with fluttering wings.

When Ye An walked across the suspended stone bridge, two ospreys followed behind him not too far or too close.

Stopping in the center of the bridge, Ye An looked back and found that the osprey had been following, assimilating the other party's emotions, knowing that they wanted to stay, sighed helplessly, and waved to them: "Forget it, come with me."

He knew where the two ospreys came from, and it might not be a good idea to keep them, but he couldn't drive them away either.They can only be kept temporarily, and he will take them with him when he leaves for the trade zone.

Ye An conveyed his decision to the past, and the Osprey suddenly became excited, flew to Ye An's side, and flapped its wings above his head, conveying joyful emotions.

When Ye An crossed the stone bridge, climbed down the rock wall, and quickly moved along the underground river, two ospreys rushed into the water one after another, dragged out an underground river fish several times larger than them, and presented them to Ye An like a treasure. .

Fishing is their specialty rather than delivering messages.

The dark river fish's vitality is extremely tenacious. It escaped from the river and fell to the ground, but it kept bouncing on the ground. Its powerful tail swung past and smashed several stones to pieces.

Almost being swept by the fish's tail, Ye An stepped back quickly, pulled out the short knife at the same time, and hit the back of the fish's head with the back of the knife.

The back of the head was penetrated, the dark river fish stopped struggling, and finally calmed down.

The ground was covered with gravel, and there were several scales scraped by the stone. Each scale was half the size of a palm, oval in shape, with blue light shining on the edge, and its sharpness was no less than that of the dagger in Ye An's hand.

Bats seldom catch such a big dark river fish, and it would take a lot of effort for Ye An to catch it, but it is quite easy for the osprey.

Ye An didn't have time to send the fish back to the cave, so he cleaned it up directly by the river, threw the viscera and fish head into the river, immediately attracted fish and shrimp swarms to fight, and caused a big splash on the water surface.

The flesh is cut into pieces and thrown to the osprey, just the right size for them to swallow.Some of them were tied up with ropes, and they were ready to be taken to the mutant dogs as a meal for them.

Clean the fish bones and fish scales and give them to the old man after returning to the cave. They may be used to make weapons and tools.

Ye An's movements were quite neat, and a nearly two-meter-long fish was quickly disassembled. The white fish bone was cut into two pieces and put together with the fish scales.

In the process of cleaning the fish bones, Ye An found a large group of shadows floating under the water, not fish or mantis shrimps. Out of curiosity, he asked the Osprey to fish them, and they turned out to be scallops the size of two palms.

The shell is blue-black, with circular lines all over it, and it emits luster like jade.

These scallops live at the bottom of the river and are not fixed in one place. They float and swim in the water for a long time, eat minced meat, and also catch small fish and shrimp.

Ye An grabbed a scallop and weighed it, and found that it was not light.I bent my fingers and knocked a few times, and the shell was always tightly closed, and it made a crisp sound when it was knocked.

"Pry it open and see."

Ye An had eaten mutated snails and crabs, but hadn't eaten scallops yet, so he pried open the shells with a dagger, revealing the dark red meat inside.

When the shells were pried open, two ospreys approached one after another, staring at the fresh scallop meat, conveying the emotion of longing.

"Eatable, and delicious?"

Sensing the Osprey's thoughts, Ye An dug out the meat from the shell, cut it in half and gave it to the Osprey. He was about to dig another one, but found round protrusions on the shell. When he dug it out with the tip of a knife, it turned out to be several white pearls.

The pearls are irregular in shape, each no more than the size of a pea, rolling in the palm of the hand, overflowing with energy similar to spar, very faint, and easy to ignore if you are not careful.

"Individual, or all of them?"

Ye An held the pearl tightly, making sure it was not his illusion, and quickly pried open all the remaining scallops, but found no more pearls, but a lot of scallop meat was dug out, and the two ospreys were very satisfied.

"Forget it, let's talk again when we have a chance."

There are definitely a lot of scallops at the bottom of the river, so if you look for them carefully, you will definitely find them.

Ye An didn't plan to stay by the river any longer, he piled up the hollowed scallop shells, put down the fish bones and fish scales, and prepared to pick them back to the beehive and bring them back to the cave together.

There were no accidents in the next section of the road. Ye An came to the bottom of the pool smoothly. He used a dagger to plunge into the rock wall without using a rope, and climbed up neatly.

Stepping on the bluestone with both feet, I found several ice edges hanging down from the edge of the pool. Ye An smashed one of them and made a sound. Within a moment, dogs barked in the snow, and several mutated dogs rushed over, biting the rope thrown by Ye An. Pull him up from where he was standing.

The strong wind howled and rolled up the broken snow, almost blowing people away.

The snow is so deep that you can easily cover your knees when you step on it.

Ye An wrapped the cloak tightly around his body, left the rope by the pool, and walked towards the rocky mountain with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Ospreys are accustomed to flying in strong winds, so they arrived at the rocky mountain one step at a time, and combed their feathers in a cave.The flock of birds went out to hunt, and the nests were empty, otherwise they would not have been allowed to fly close to the center of the island, and followed the bees to find the ground.

The mutated dog barked, and several puppies rushed to the entrance of the cave happily. Their chubby bodies looked like round balls, and their legs looked a little short. They looked very cute.

Less than half of the mutated dogs stayed in the cave, and the rest went out to hunt.The head dog was also absent, and it was two female dogs with puppies that commanded the group.

The dried meat in the cave has been exhausted, and a few white bones are scattered against the wall. There is no flesh and blood on them, only clear teeth marks, which must be toys for dogs to grind their teeth.

Ye An untied the fish meat from the rope, crushed the pills and sprinkled them on it.Just from the water pool to the rocky mountain, the fish has been frozen and hard as a rock.

The mutated dog rubbed against Ye An, its sharp teeth easily crushed the fish, and distributed it to the puppies in the cave.

There is a left-behind mutant dog who wants to share a piece, and the female dog barks her teeth on the spot. If the other party is not interested, a lesson is inevitable.

Ye An did not intend to interfere with the behavior of the mutant dog.Each ethnic group has its own rules, which are their skills and experience in surviving in harsh environments, and no outsiders should intervene.

Passing through the cave where the mutant dog lived, Ye An walked into the passage in the mountain, and soon came to the place where the bees nested.

The bee colony has already moved away, leaving only the hive hanging on the rock wall, lonely, as if it has lost all vitality.

Ye An walked a few steps closer, with stones under his feet, cut a piece from the edge of the hive, found it was empty, and still had a sweet taste in his mouth.Continue to cut again, one knife after another, after four times, clear honey dripped from the cut, just falling on the palm of Ye An.

The honey dripped more and more, Ye An quickly opened the jar he brought, and connected it under the honeycomb, the sound of tick-tock could be heard endlessly, and the smell of honey soon wafted away.Looking at the honey in his palm, Ye An couldn't help but lick it, and the sweet taste soaked his taste buds instantly.

It was too slow to connect the honeycomb with a jar, so Ye An simply cut the honeycomb into several pieces, put some of them into jars, and if they couldn't fit in, they would freeze them with snow and wrap them all in animal skins.

After everything was processed, the passage immediately became spacious.

Some antelopes were attracted by the smell of honey, Ye An took out two pieces and threw them, and then walked out of the cave, ready to go back underground.

The previous deal with Zhao Weng made him understand the value of tubers.In this analogy, the value of honey must be higher. If you take a few honeycombs to the trade area, you will definitely be able to exchange for good things.

As soon as we reached the entrance of the cave, a wolf howled suddenly, and the next moment, the howling of the wolf joined the roar of the wild boar, echoing in the dense forest, the snow on the treetops was shattered, and large pieces fell from the air, smashing into the snow. Make a deep pit.

Ye An listened carefully for a while, and found that the sound came from the west of the island, and it should be a pack of wolves hunting.

It is not uncommon for wild boars to appear on the island. What surprised him was that the range of wild boars would be so large.It was still in the south of the isolated island before, but now it has gone to the west, or is this not a group?

The cry of the wild boar disappeared quickly, and the howling of the wolf revealed excitement and joy.

The wind was getting colder and colder. Ye An didn't plan to stay on the ground for a long time and was about to leave when a group of mutated dogs suddenly rushed out of the dense forest, dragging the prey they had caught, and were rushing towards him.

"what happened?"

The mutant dog's behavior was unusual, and Ye Anzheng felt strange when he heard a terrible growl.

Amidst the roar, half of the mutated dogs stopped and turned around to intercept the hunters who were chasing. The rest dragged their prey and continued to run. When they found Ye An at the foot of the rock, they sped up their speed again and moved close to him, wagging their tails.

Hold down the mutated dog that jumped up, and patted the opponent's head. Ye An looked up, and saw an elegant cat walking out of the forest. It was not the snow leopard he had seen before, but a striped cat , a mutant tiger with a king pattern on its head!

The mutated tiger slowly walked out of the forest, and every time it took a step forward, its huge claws would be printed in the snow, leaving clear claw marks.

As it approached, the mutated dog quickly became tense, instead of barking, it showed its sharp teeth like a pack of wolves and let out a low, threatening growl.
