Ye An

The flames danced in the tin stove, the kettle steamed on the stove, the curtains were lowered, and the tent was full of warmth.

When Xiao Yun heard that a flock of birds had appeared, he hurried over from the city.Like Zhao Weng, after listening to his subordinate's report, he vaguely guessed who it was, but he was still a little surprised when he saw the mutant dog outside the tent.

Ye An cut off a piece of barbecue, sliced ​​it into thin slices and sandwiched it in the cake, took a bite, and thought carefully about how to speak.

Osprey refused to return to Zhao Weng, he couldn't force it, although Zhao Weng didn't mind, but he had to show something.

In addition, the main purpose of his trip was snapping tortoise shells. He hadn't accurately estimated the size of the trade zone before, but he saw it with his own eyes. Needless to say, he was surprised. If he wanted to find commodities in such a large area, he might not be able to find the goods without someone leading the way.

Thinking of this, Ye An put down his knife and said, "Zhao Weng, I need your help with something."

"Tell me." Zhao Weng picked up the kettle, filled the cup in front of Ye An, and poured a cup for Xiao Yun when he used it.

"I want to buy some snapping turtle shells. The trade area is too big and I need a guide. I will pay for it." Ye An cut to the chase.

"Alligator shell?" Zhao Weng was taken aback for a moment.

Mutant snapping turtles have a ferocious temperament, and adult snapping turtles are extremely difficult to catch. Few hunting teams will specialize in catching this mutant snapping turtle.Even if this kind of mutant beast is caught, because the snapping turtle shell is too hard, it is difficult to break and polish, and most of them take the edible part and throw away the rest.

Before Ye An, no one went to the trade area to look for snapping turtle shells, at least in Zhao Weng's memory.

"Yes." Ye An could see Zhao Weng's doubts, but he couldn't disclose the crystallization of snapping tortoise shells for the time being, so he could only adopt Lily of the Valley's idea, claiming that boiling the plastron shell soup could be used as medicine.

"Making potions?" Zhao Weng carefully observed Ye An's expression. Although he couldn't see any flaws and was still a little uncertain, he didn't continue to ask.

Ye An wants to buy snapping turtle shells, he needs a guide, and he is willing to pay for it. He can arrange it for the other party.As for the real purpose of buying the snapping turtle shell, it is not something he needs to care about and explore.As long as the other party is not targeting the team or looking for trouble for himself, the business will follow.

It's just that snapping tortoise shells are really hard to find, Zhao Weng recalled carefully, and even found a few booklets recording the goods from the box, but there was no clue.

"No crocodile shells, how about sea turtle shells?" Xiao Yun's voice suddenly sounded.

Ye An and Zhao Weng turned their heads to look at him at the same time. The former looked pensive, while the latter closed the booklet and said, "It was my negligence. To buy these mutant beasts, instead of taking you to meet other people, it is better to ask City Lord Xiao for help." .”

Turtle shell?

Ye An wasn't sure if it was feasible, but judging from Zhao Weng's attitude, it was indeed difficult to find snapping turtle shells in the trade zone.Since they are all tortoise shells, why don't you buy some and try them out.If it doesn't work, think of other ways.

"If you want snapping turtle shells, when the rainy season comes, I will try to hunt a few and send them to the delta." Seeing Ye An's hesitation, Xiao Yun added.

How many do you hunt?

Thinking of the difficulty of killing the mutant snapping turtle, Ye An didn't know how to react to Xiao Yun's words.

The other party really wanted to help, Ye An immediately nodded and said: "Thank you, I have medicine, dried meat, sugary tubers, and some pine cones, if these are not enough, you can put forward other conditions, I will try to do it .”

"Just the medicine." Xiao Yun picked up the long knife placed by his leg and stood up, "The tortoise shell is going to get it in the city, come with me?"

"Alright." Ye An bid farewell to Zhao Weng, and prepared to take the goods and the mutated dog to the city.

"These goods can be sold to me." Zhao Weng suggested, "City Master Xiao only needs medicine, you can trade dried meat and tubers with me, and you can also sell pine cones to me."

After thinking for a moment, Ye An nodded and agreed, and replaced most of the goods he brought with him with grain and salt, leaving only the medicine with him.

"Can you give me some poison from these ferrets?" Zhao Weng looked at the ferret lying on Ye An's shoulder and asked.

Ye An asked the ferrets, knowing that doing so would be harmless to them, he nodded to Zhao Weng, and took the bottle from him.The ferret stretched out its front paws, and a few drops of venom flowed down the claw tips into the bottle.

Zhao Weng wanted to pay some additional supplies, but Ye An shook his head, pointing to the two ospreys guarding the tent as compensation to Zhao Weng.

The amount of grain and salt traded was large, and it was not convenient for Ye An to carry it, so he stayed in the trade area for the time being and asked Zhao Weng to take care of it.The sled also stayed outside the city, and the mutant dog and bird followed him and entered the city with him.

Leaving Zhao Weng's tent, he inevitably passed through the lively crowd.

Surrounded by curious faces, very few had dark eyes, staring at the ferret and mutant dog beside Ye An, unable to conceal their inner greed.

Ye An glanced at the people around him, vigilance and wariness spontaneously arose.

His emotions spread to mutated dogs and birds.

The head dog led the pack to follow him. He didn't bark loudly, but just showed his fangs and let out a threatening low growl, which was enough to scare anyone with bad intentions.

A flock of birds hovered high in the sky, sometimes flying down like red clouds, and the ferrets grabbed the seat on Ye An's shoulder.They're not ospreys, and they're not any more polite than ferrets.

Two ospreys flew out of Zhao Weng's tent, flying with the flock of birds all the time, with a very clear attitude, they would follow Ye An wherever he went.The team will not go back, and will not pass on news for Zhao Weng.

Seeing all this, everyone became more curious about Ye An.Seeing Xiao Yun and Ye An walking together, the two seemed to be familiar with each other, but curiosity gave birth to more fear.

With Xiao Yun in his company, Ye An walked from the trade area to the city, even if there were dogs and birds around him, Ye An could go without hindrance.

When passing through the city gate, several guards were also curious, but because of Xiao Yun's presence, no one dared to speak easily.

Watching Ye An's back, several people exchanged glances, and one person said, "Mutant?"

"Should be right."

"Jason seems to have said that the last time he was in trouble when he left the city, he once walked with a mutant who could manipulate animals. Could it be him?"

When this matter was mentioned, several people couldn't help but their faces changed slightly, with lingering fear in their hearts.

The hunting team went out of the city and was in danger. After returning, the city lord ordered the three pharmacists to be disposed of, and even exposed what Qiancheng and Heicheng were doing secretly, and drove their hunting team out of the snowfield.

This incident also exposed Rhodes in the hunting team. When everyone knew his behavior when he was in danger, and knew his cowardice and timidity, they couldn't help but feel contemptuous.Now, although Rhodes lives in the city, no hunting team is willing to accept him. After all, no one wants to entrust his back to such a person.

Rhodes also thought about joining other forces.But given the examples of Qiancheng and Heicheng, which city is willing to take him in?Without a city to rely on, do you want to be a wanderer?

In the end, Rhodes could only stay in the city and work as a handyman in the Colosseum, hoping that any team would accept him and become a member again.

Ye An walked into the city, and before he had time to marvel at the grandeur of the building, he was filled with cheers and whistles.

"It's the Colosseum, do you want to take a look?" Xiao Yun pointed to the center of the city and suggested to Ye An.

Ye An met Xiao Yun's eyes, according to the previous agreement, he would not take the initiative to assimilate the other party's thinking, but due to his ability, he still caught some clues.

Most of the hunters in the city are desperadoes, and the strong are respected, where strength means everything.Anyone who sets foot in this city must prove their strength.

Xiao Yun ordered to drive away the hunting teams from other cities close to the delta, which saved Ye An a lot of trouble. He also made an oath as the city lord, intending to form an alliance. Since Ye An came to Hunter City, he should agree to Everyone proves themselves.Only in this way can he stand at the same height as Xiao Yun and other city lords, and he can declare to the world the ownership of the isolated island and even the delta.

"Okay." Ye An accepted Xiao Yun's proposal and said at the same time, "Thank you."

Xiao Yun's footsteps paused slightly, and he turned his head to look at Ye An, and suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, his cold breath was still there, but it was warmed by this smile, like the first melting of winter snow.

"You're welcome."

The two came to the Colosseum, where the fight was lively.

Two strong men with a height of nearly two meters were fighting with their bare hands.Evenly matched, the two hadn't decided the winner for a long time. When the cold wind blew past, their bodies were covered in sweat and bursts of heat came out.

"Ah!" One of them yelled, with veins bulging on his neck and forehead, taking advantage of his opponent's unpreparedness, he rushed forward like a brown bear, bumped into the opponent's standing unsteadily, grabbed the opponent's neck and one leg, and violently lifted the opponent up Overhead, walked half a circle along the fence, and fell hard to the ground.

"here you go!"

"Jones, you bastard!"

Some people cheered for the victors, but naturally some people put their chips on the losers and cursed angrily.

Xiao Yun and Ye arranged for the crowd to be separated, just in time to see the felled strong man get up from the ground, rush to the fence, drag the two who yelled the loudest out on the spot, and waved their fists directly.

"Hit, beat him!"

Another battle began, and the hunters became more and more excited. Both men and women raised their arms and shouted, knocked on the fence, whistled and shouted.Different from pure bloodthirsty and killing desire, what they show is the desire for fighting and the worship of the strong.

The battle in the arena was quickly decided. The strong man won a complete victory with one opponent and two opponents. He clenched his fist with one hand and beat his chest, proving to everyone that he was not weak.

"I lost to the hammer, but I am not weak! Who is next?!"

As soon as Jones finished speaking, Xiao Yun leaned on the fence with one hand and jumped into the arena.

The Colosseum suddenly became silent, and the whistles and noise disappeared without a trace. Everyone looked at Xiao Yun in astonishment, and then turned their eyes to Jones in unison. There was no excitement and excitement before, and they were full of sympathy.

Jones turned into a stone sculpture on the spot, turning his neck with difficulty, making a clicking sound.

The brawny man who thinks his brain is full of muscles, at this moment, he began to think desperately, what did he do wrong, what unforgivable mistake he made, to encounter such a terrible thing.

"City Lord..." Where did he make a mistake, he must correct it!Can you stop scaring him like this?

Xiao Yun turned his head sideways, put the long knife aside, clasped his fingers together, and his knuckles made a crisp sound.Jones' face turned pale, like a mutant beast that had been driven to a desperate situation, and retreated to the edge of the cage in one breath, wishing he could catch the mutant beast inside and get in by himself.

No one laughed at his performance. In fact, if it were anyone present, his performance might not be any better in the face of his situation.

Knowing that they can't be beaten, knowing that they will be beaten badly, knowing that...they are indeed desperadoes, but they are not idiots!

Just when everyone was showing sympathy to Jones for the first time, Xiao Yun suddenly waved his hand at him, motioning him to leave the Colosseum, turned to the direction where Ye An was standing, and said, "Let's go, how about it?"

Everyone followed his gaze, and saw a tall young man took off his cloak, leaned on the fence and leaped into the arena neatly.

After landing, Ye An took off the weapon on his body and put it on the sidelines like Xiao Yun. Then he clasped his hands, shook his neck twice, looked at the man opposite with his dark eyes, his fighting spirit was ignited in his chest, and his desire for victory rose. eager.
