Ye An

It snowed heavily all night, and in the early morning, the strong wind had not stopped, and snowflakes as big as goose feathers were flying in the air, covering the sky and the earth with white.

Ye An hid in a snow nest, wrapped in a thick brown bear cloak, half of his body was covered by snowflakes, relying on the spar he carried with him, he did not freeze in the cold wind.

200 meters away from him, there is a group of wild boars intent on digging through the snow.

The land under the snow has frozen, like a hard block of ice.Wild boars use their tusks to dig through the soil layer and dig out the roots hidden below. Often a bunch of them are pulled, and the leader bites them into several pieces and distributes them to the members of the group.

In such bad weather, wolves also hide in sheltered places and rarely go out to hunt.The wild boar was focused on searching for food, so naturally they did not find Ye An hiding in the snow, and the snow leopard mother and child not far away.

Ye An carried the cut tuber with him, and the cut showed that it was covered with a thin layer of ice, but the sweet smell could not be hidden.Some wild boars smelled the scent hidden under the snow, and they dug through the snow layer faster to dig out the bait that Ye An had buried in advance.

Probably because the tubers were too tempting, this wild boar didn't summon its companions, but chewed up the tubers and swallowed them, enjoying this rare delicacy alone.

It's a pity that its actions were discovered.

A female wild boar with her cubs screamed, and several male wild boars in the group gathered at the same time, found the remaining tubers, smelled the tempting sweetness, howled dissatisfied, and used their fangs to tear the wild boar that ate alone. pick fly.

With a bang, the wild boar fell to the ground and was pierced by its fangs near its neck. It was not fatal, but the pain was unbearable. It fell into anger and rage, howling and rushing towards other members.

The battle soon became fierce.

The blood splattered on the snow, forming large pieces of scarlet ice, crushed by the hoofs of wild boars, like blood gems embedded in silver and white, emitting an ominous light.

The tubers are coated with lily of the valley poison, which can arouse the berserk emotions of mutant beasts and instantly increase the combat effectiveness of wild boars.The erupting male wild boar has amazing fighting power, and can fly against bigger opponents, and it will not lose a pair of three-pointers.

When the male wild boars were fighting, the female wild boars led the young wild boars to dig out more tubers. Under the influence of the potion, more wild boars fell into rage and madness, and began to attack the group members around them for no reason.

The chaos intensified further, as the two wild boars fell to the ground, and the male wild boar that had eaten the tubers was also at the end of its strength.

Ye An counted the time silently, saw the injured male wild boar was at a disadvantage and was forced under a mutated tree, knowing that the opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time had finally come, he clenched the dagger in his hand, flew out from the snow nest, lowered his body, Pounce on the back of a boar boar.

The male wild boar was being entangled by the opponent in front of him, and there was no time to react. With all his strength, Ye An stabbed the short knife into the male wild boar's back, holding the handle of the knife with both hands, and plunged the blade into the wild boar's body, cutting through the hard flesh. The skin and flesh of the wild boar penetrated the internal organs of the wild boar.

The wild boar that was hit by the knife howled, Ye An ignored the mane of the wild boar, firmly grasped the handle of the knife, and pressed down with all his might.

The wild boar's cry became more and more shrill, but no matter what, he couldn't get rid of Ye An on his back. As the severe pain continued to hit, blood stained the snow under his body.

The wind blew with a bloody smell, and the seriously injured wild boar fell to the ground, its limbs were still shaking, but it could no longer stand up.

Ye An pulled out another short knife, cut open the wild boar's neck, and slashed at the wound.After counting, the wild boar's head and body were separated, and blood spurted out from the cut, splashing a large fan-shaped dark red in the snow.

When the male wild boar fell, the wild boars were still biting each other, and none of the wild boars paid any attention to the members of the group captured by Ye An.

The snow leopard hiding behind the tree saw the opportunity, left the cub in place, quietly approached the chaotic herd of wild boars, aimed at a half-sized wild boar that was injured and fell to the ground and was dying, and quickly bit its neck so that it could not make a sound. Quickly dragged towards the forest, and soon disappeared behind the dense bushes.

Ye An found the snow leopard, but did not try to contact him.

He had achieved the purpose of this trip, let the wild boars continue to bite, waited for the wounds of the prey to be frozen by ice and snow, grabbed the two front legs of the wild boars, and threw them on his back.

Before setting off to hunt, he specifically asked the dogs not to follow, and the birds and bats also stayed on the rocky mountain. Except for two ospreys who were searching for the target, he had no helpers around him.

Fortunately, his strength is strong enough, and the wild boar weighing more than 500 kilograms on his back will not affect his actions.Following the guidance of the osprey in the sky, they soon came to a snow-covered stone forest and found the wolves who were sheltering from the wind and snow here.

The silver-white wolf king appeared behind the stone forest, a distance away from Ye An, conveying doubts and vigilance.

Ye An took a few steps forward, stopped at a distance acceptable to the wolf king, put down the wild boar on his back, and assimilated the opposite wolf king, conveying the purpose of his trip.

"Five wild boars and two spars. During my absence, help patrol around the island and not allow strange predators to land on the island. When I return, I will give you three more bison and two spars."

Ye An made a condition, put two crystals on the wild boar, and then took two steps back to show his attitude.

The wolf king didn't step forward immediately, his eyes wandered between Jing Shi and Ye An, as if he was thinking seriously.Ye An stood still in the wind and snow, looking at the wolf king with his dark eyes, trying to convey his sincerity as much as possible.

After a while, the wolf king raised his head and howled, and members of the wolf pack appeared one after another, answering the wolf king's cry.

The howling of wolves pierced through the wind and snow and spread far away.

Ye An tensed his nerves, his gaze never leaving the pack of wolves.

Under his gaze, the wolf king stepped forward, took away two spars, then tore open the wild boar's belly with his fangs, and ate the softest internal organs.

Following the signal from the wolf king, the wolves stepped forward in turn and took away their own part.

Ye An looked at the wolf king, who slowly approached him and accidentally nuzzled him.Before Ye An could react, the wolf king had already turned around and returned to the group.

"accepted?"

Ye An rubbed the back of his hands, confirming with the Wolf King.

The wolf king raised his head, fully displaying the word proud.

The goal was achieved, Ye An didn't stay in the territory of the wolves for long, and turned around and left.

The wolves watched his back disappear, and the howling sounded again.There is joy and contentment in the cry.Obviously, the prey Ye An brought was very suitable for them.

Leaving the west side of the island, Ye An lurked again, captured a bison foraging in the wind and snow, and sent it to the wolf pack entrenched in the south of the isolated island.

This group of mutant wolves also accepted the conditions offered by Ye An. In return for spar and food, they would unite with another pack of wolves to guard the isolated island together.

Ye An was busy all day, until it was dark, he left the territory of the wolves and returned to the rocky mountain.

On the way back, he met the snow leopard mother and her son again. There was a distance between them. The mother snow leopard was very vigilant, while the little snow leopard was full of curiosity.After making sure that the mother and son would not approach Yanshan, Ye An took the initiative to back away.

The female snow leopard did not catch up, and apart from vigilance, she did not show much hostility.But when the little snow leopard showed more curiosity, he pressed the child's head with his front paws, then held the little snow leopard's back neck, and brought the cub with its limbs and tail instinctively into the depths of the dense forest, returning to the place it found before. cave.

When Ye An returned to the ground, it was already dark.

The dark river was rushing, and large pieces of driftwood appeared on the surface of the water, floating and sinking in the river.Around the driftwood was a large cloud of shadows, all arm-length river fish.

The body of the fish is covered with silver scales, and it looks like a carp, but it has fangs in its mouth. It is biting open the bark with its teeth, digging out the moths and chrysalis hidden inside, scrambling to swallow them.

The chubby moths were pulled out of the wood, and were dragged in two by the fish in the scramble. The juice flowed in the water, giving off a smell like rosin.

Beneath the school of fish, masses of scallops are attracted, vying for the scattered bits of meat.

Some scallops are big enough to even have the idea of ​​mutating fish.Ye An saw with his own eyes a scallop the size of a millstone swimming underwater, approaching a mutated fish, the sharp edges of the shell closed, clamped the mutated fish, and dragged it into the bottom of the river.

Thinking of the pearl found in the scallop, Ye An didn't return to the cave immediately, but waited by the dark river.After the school of fish dug a few pieces of broken logs into pits and swam away contentedly, he immediately took up his dagger and entered the shallow water, and neatly picked up the last two river fish that landed.

Osprey sensed Ye An's call and flew out of the nest one after another.

Ye An chopped the mutated fish into pieces, threw the fattest part to the osprey, and threw the rest into the river in batches, all of which were densely infested with scallops.

The osprey swallowed the fish meat, followed Ye An's instructions to patrol the water surface, found a scallop attracted by the fish meat, immediately rushed into the water, and worked with Ye An to drag the target to the shore.

In less than 10 minutes, the scallops around Ye An piled up into a hill, the largest one was bigger than Mopan, and the smallest one was two palms bigger than Ye An.

After the fish meat had been scrambled, and the scallops no longer floated out of the river bottom, Ye An temporarily stopped and pried open the scallops one by one, and distributed part of the excavated meat to the osprey, and put the rest into animal skin bags.

He was lucky, and found three pearls in the largest scallop, each of which was the size of a thumb, emitting a lustrous luster in the dark, and he could also feel the energy similar to spar, which was more obvious than what he found before.

The scallop shells were very hard and the edges were quite sharp. Ye An wrapped the animal skin around his palm, carefully folded the shells, tied them with ropes, and brought them back to the cave together with the scallop meat.

That night, the cave was filled with the smell of grilled scallops, which lasted for a long time.

In the next two days, Ye An frequently traveled between the center of the isolated island and the territory of the wolves, fulfilling the prey he promised and deepening the connection with the wolves.

In addition, he also reached a tacit agreement with the antelope and reindeer herd. During his absence, Lily of the Valley would send a batch of tubers to the water pool every three to five days. Immediately pushed the snow and gravel into the bottom of the pool, and sent an alarm to Lily of the Land and the grandparents.

The bat swarm doesn't need to be warned, they already regard the Dark River Basin as their own territory, and if strangers break in, they will definitely be attacked.

Birds live in dense forests and have a stronger sense of territory than bats.Take the Osprey as an example, if Ye An didn't mediate, and found these two guys who had sneaked in, the bird would have driven them away without tearing them apart.

The bee colony settled in the cave, which became another layer of protection for Lily of the Valley and her grandparents.

Ye An took stock of the protection forces on the island. Unless predators like mutant tigers appeared in groups, or there were hundreds of hunting teams, the safety of the isolated island would basically not be threatened.

If there is a chance, the mutated python sleeping underground will definitely be awakened, plus the poisonous insects hiding in the forest, it is really hard to say who will win and who will lose at that time, the more likely result is that the intruder will never come back.

After arranging everything, Ye An inspected the sled, counted the goods carried, and on a slightly snowy morning, took the osprey and a flock of birds, ready to set off for the trade zone.

Before leaving, several ferrets suddenly entangled him.

"Want to follow?" Ye An was very surprised.

The ferret quickly climbed onto the sled, and the one Ye An was most familiar with even climbed onto his shoulder, waved its paw twice, and barked twice to show its attitude.

"Take them." Lily of the Valley piled the prepared medicines on the sled, checked the rope carefully, and said to Ye An, "The ferret's claws are poisonous, and they are also very smart. If you are in trouble, you should be able to help busy."

"Ok."

Ye An picked up the ferret on his shoulders, put it together with his companions, patted the mutated dog standing in front of the sled, crushed a spar and fed it to them, then boarded the sled, tightened the reins, and joined Lily of the Valley and The grandfather and grandson bid farewell and prepared to leave the island.

"Be careful on the road, go early and return early!" Ling Lan hugged the puppy wrapped in animal skins, and waved to Ye An in the wind.

"go!"

Ye An tightened the reins, and the dogs ran wildly in the snow.

The osprey travels in the wind, flapping its wings and soaring into the sky.The flock of fiery red birds followed closely behind, passing through the gray clouds, pointing out the direction for Ye An.

The head dog barked loudly, and the mutant dog picked up speed again.The sled full of goods left the isolated island, passed through the vast snow field, and sped towards Hunter City.
