Ye An

Gophers are cave-dwelling animals. They usually hide underground during the snowy season. There is a lot of food stored in the burrows, and they rarely go to the ground for activities.The nests of gophers are connected to each other and extend in all directions. If you want to catch them, you must find a suitable hole, dig out the frozen soil, and use smoke to force them to appear.

The severe cold snow season has not yet passed, and a large number of rats suddenly appeared, and they still gathered near the densely populated trade area, which is very unusual.

In view of the news brought back by the bird, Ye An had a bad premonition, quickly put the turtle shell back in the box, wrapped it in a cloak, grabbed the weapon and prepared to leave the city lord's mansion.

He had to go and see for himself to confirm what was going on.

Hearing footsteps from the second floor, Broken Arm looked up, surprised to see Ye An walking down the stairs with a solemn expression.

"I'm going out of the city. If City Lord Xiao comes back, please tell him that there is a large group of gophers in the forest outside the city. Something is wrong."

After leaving these words, Ye An wrapped the animal skin around his neck, and covered the ferret lying on his shoulder by the way.

Ye An's footsteps were fast, and before Broken Arm could answer, he had already pushed open the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, summoned the mutant dogs that were having fun in front of the square, and hurried out of the city.

Broken Arm wanted to catch up and ask for more details, but Ye An's speed would be so fast. When he walked to the door, the other party had already gathered a group of dogs, and even a large flock of birds descended from the sky, like a fiery red blanket Lift him up into the air.

This scene not only shocked the broken arm, but also made the returning Xiao Yun stop in his tracks.

Seeing the figure below, Ye An didn't stop the birds, let alone downgrade, put one hand around his mouth and said to Xiao Yun: "Master Xiao, there are swarms of gophers appearing outside the city, right next to the forest, I will Try to stop it!"

Before he finished speaking, the flock of birds had already taken him away, and two ospreys flew up from the city wall, leading the flock of birds first.The mutated dog was left behind, the head dog let out a loud bark, and the group of dogs immediately accelerated, as fast as a bolt of lightning, galloping through the city gate.

The hunter in front of the city gate was stunned, and Zhao Weng, who was about to form an alliance with Xiao Yun, was also taken aback, not understanding what happened.

Seeing Zhao Weng, Ye An will repeat Xiao Yun's words.

Zhao Weng traveled all over the world, and had seen the destructive power of gophers. Hearing Ye An's words, he quickly changed his previous plan and sent a follower into the city to meet Xiao Yun. He conveyed his intention of cooperation, and returned to the trade zone by himself. Gather everyone in the convoy and order them to take up arms, including the elderly and children.

"The swarm of gophers is coming!"

Mutant elephants are huge in size and amazing in strength. Three hundred of them can destroy the trade zone.Gophers do not have the power of mutants, but they are large in number, small in size, and almost pervasive. Once surrounded by rats, everyone will face danger.

You must be cautious when fighting a swarm of gophers. Zhao Weng once saw a swarm of gophers destroy a settlement.The prey that was usually hunted down by the homeless turned into a predator at that moment. Wherever the rats passed by, no life could survive, and all of them were devoured.

"Quick, move fast!"

Zhao Weng is not worried about Ye An's information, at this moment, he only hopes that everyone can move faster.Armed up a moment earlier and prepared to face the battle, the losses and casualties will be reduced by one point, and the hope of everyone's survival will increase accordingly.

"Send the news!" Zhao Weng called a few teenagers and asked them to inform the caravan still in the trade zone.

The teenagers grabbed the daggers and carried the bows and arrows on their backs, and ran out of the tent one by one. As they scattered, people in the trade area got news one after another.

Someone quickly organized people who could still fight, and prepared to fight the gophers with Zhao Weng.Some people were dubious, and with the idea of ​​not wanting to suffer any more losses, they gave up fighting, packed up their goods and tents, loaded them into modified vehicles, and planned to leave the trade zone as quickly as possible.

There are also a few people who have evil thoughts, neither join the battle nor leave, but want to take advantage of the fire to loot goods and refit vehicles to make up for the previous losses.

Fighting is not allowed in the trade area, this is a rule set by Zhao Weng.But now and then, when a swarm of gophers comes and most people go out to fight, who cares what's going on in the trade zone?

"If there are too many gophers, the old guy may not be killed. You still have to obey the rules, what a ghost!" A man with a scar on his face said viciously, stabbing the dagger on the ground with his backhand.

Kapok just happened to lead the team past, caught this sentence, met the man's fierce and malicious eyes, his expression changed, but he didn't say a word, and led everyone to speed up.

It wasn't until they were far enough away from the group of people that Kapok said to the women: "Call the people who guard the goods back, and they don't want all the things. Let them guard Xiaowei and be careful behind her!"

"Don't want them all?" the woman hesitated.

"No more." Kapok said firmly, "That group of people is definitely not an exception, not to mention that we still have enemies, and when we attack later, it will be difficult to guard against the cold arrows behind us. If you run out of ore, you can look for it again, and if you run out of food, you can go hunting , we must save everyone's lives first!"

"Okay." The woman nodded.

"Also, do you really think these people can get what they want?" Mu Mian sneered, looked at the group behind him, and said in a low voice, "The trade zone is located in the Hunter City's sphere of influence, they dare to hold back at this time, If Zhao Weng doesn't do anything, Hunter City won't let them go!"

Kapok has experienced life and death several times, and once her family was ruined. The more difficult she faced, the clearer her mind became.Just as she has never attached herself to a strong man, but she is determined to join Ye An. Her intuition is extremely strong, her wrist is tough, and she kills decisively. She never disappoints those who follow her.

When Kapok's team arrived in front of Zhao Weng's tent, they happened to meet several hunters who lifted the curtain. Judging from their attire, they should be the vanguard team, going to the forest to investigate and confirm the size of the gopher group.

A team had already arrived before Kapok, and the hunters were not surprised to see Kapok. They just nodded, quickly crossed the snow, jumped into the modified car that could start, and galloped towards the forest.

Zhao Weng saw Kapok in the tent, and gave her a batch of sharp short knives and five bottles of wound medicine with a few words in a hurry.He also promised that after the battle, another batch of food would be given to Kapok.

All teams preparing to participate in the battle have the same treatment.

This move is not only to unite people's hearts, but also to give everyone an explanation.The swarm of gophers broke into the trade zone, and Zhao Weng's convoy will suffer the most.Everyone was helping him by resisting the swarm of gophers, and it was only natural to give compensation.

"Why don't you leave?"

Mu Mian and others were thanking Zhao Weng, when the curtain was lifted suddenly, Xiao Yun stepped in, followed by Rose, Jason and others.All the hunters who went out of the city were fully armed, with bows and arrows and minions in addition to knives. Most of the hand crossbows fired in bursts, which was the most effective against swarms of gophers.

"Master Xiao." Zhao Weng didn't ask Xiao Yun to take a seat, but stood up to meet him, "Once a group of gophers gathers, it's useless to run far away. They will track the smell of creatures and devour everything that can be eaten , until they are full."

Gophers are omnivores, they eat meat, but also eat grain and mutant plants.When there is not enough food, it will even gnaw on bones, wood and stones.It is this nature that allows them to reproduce rapidly after the catastrophe, becoming the largest population of mutant beasts outside of the swarm.

"What do you think of my proposal to have people take it?" Zhao Weng asked.

"After solving the swarm of gophers, please go to the city to discuss." Xiao Yun said.

If Zhao Weng wants to cooperate, the benefits it will bring are foreseeable, and no force will refuse, and Xiao Yun is no exception.

This kind of thing would never have happened before the elephant herds attacked the trading area.It can only be said that Qiancheng made a wrong move, a big mistake, which caused Zhao Weng to fall into unprecedented anger and determined to destroy this city.He couldn't do it by himself, so he had to unite with other forces, and Hunter City was the best choice.

The two reached a preliminary agreement, and each organized their own people to board the modified car and gallop towards the forest.

Due to the attack of the elephant herd, the modified vehicles in the trade area suffered serious losses, and nearly one-third of them were unable to start.Most people boarded Zhao Weng's snow cart, and few people chose Hunter City's convoy.

They are about to face a fight, and they are likely to be injured or even die. These hunters who came out of the city did not feel nervous at all, but their faces were full of excitement. They even pushed the sunroof, half of their bodies leaned out of the roof of the car, brandishing weapons at each other and shouting provocatively. , whistling and gesturing to each other, to see who can kill more gophers, and completely compare each other.

Since most people chose Zhao Weng's convoy, there was no room to sit in the car, and some people had to jump on the roof or grab the edge of the window to ensure they would not be left behind.

The convoy roared forward, rolled over the snow, and headed for the forest amidst the howling wind.

Not wanting to be overwhelmed by the gophers, they had to attack aggressively, keeping their targets at the edge of the forest and keeping them out of the trade zone.

Not long after the convoy set off, several other teams left the trade zone and set off in the opposite direction.They didn't want to fight, they just wanted to go home with the rest of their cargo.

Some people pretended to leave, but turned back halfway, and joined hands to surround Zhao Weng's men, intending to kill them and steal the goods.

"Make it clean, no one will know it's us!" the scar-faced man said ferociously.

"What about those women before?" someone whispered.

"They can't survive!" The man said with certainty that in addition to the gophers, Kapok would also face threats from behind. Because of this, he dared to act boldly without worrying about being retaliated afterwards.

"So what if we say so? With this batch of goods, everyone can recruit troops and join forces, so we don't have to be afraid of that old guy? At that time, maybe we will be the ones who open the trade zone!"

The scar-faced man spoke brazenly, but everyone applauded in unison. This group of shameless people rushed towards the guards in front of the goods, brandishing short knives with fanaticism on their faces.

As soon as he rushed to the front, the guard suddenly retreated, and the hunters headed by Broken Arm appeared one after another, staring at the opposite person, as if an evil beast had found its prey, or like a shark smelling blood, slashing at it on the spot.

The battle broke out in the trade area, and Scarface and others who were trying to take advantage of the fire fell into a bitter fight. Some were injured and howled, some were killed on the spot, and some knelt down to beg for mercy, with tears and snot all over their faces.

The manpower left by Zhao Weng hardly played a big role, and the battle ended in a hurry.

In front of Broken Arm and the others, Scarface and the others were vulnerable, and fell down one by one. Those who were dead were not mentioned, and those who were still alive were all tied up, waiting for Zhao Weng to deal with them when he came back.

At the same time, Zhao Weng and Xiao Yun's convoy was getting closer and closer to the forest, and Ye An, who arrived first, had already encountered the swarm of gophers.

Knowing through birds and seeing with your own eyes is not a concept at all.

The number of gophers is appalling, gathering all over the mountains and plains, the impact can be imagined.Gray-black swarms of gophers rolled over the snow and spread out on the edge of the forest, like a rushing river of death.

Ye An took a deep breath, released his will, and found that the gophers were full of desire to kill and devour, and what they gave back was hunger.The area near the edge of the forest has been swept away, and there is no sign of any animals at all, and there are no edible plants left.

Gopher swarms are more devouring and bloodthirsty than bug swarms.

Suddenly, the swarm of rats surged like a sea wave, and more than a hundred of the extraordinarily large hamsters uttered shrill and piercing sounds. The swarm of gophers began to move, sweeping forward like a torrent.

Knowing that the situation was not good, Ye An asked the flock of birds to lower their altitude.Before he landed on the ground, suddenly there were gophers jumping up one after another, scratching and biting the birds in the sky.

"Fly!"

Ye An flew to the ground, and at the same time ordered the birds to fly high to avoid the attack of the gophers.

The mutated dogs scattered under his lead, biting the rushing gophers, forming a protective belt along the edge of the deep forest.However, there were too many gophers, and they quickly bypassed the dogs from both sides and continued to sweep forward.

Ye Anli was among the gophers, and the gophers kept rushing up, and he cut them in two with a bone knife.Ferrets guarded him, and any gophers who approached were torn to pieces by their tiny claws.

The sharp cry came again, and the group of gophers stopped attacking Ye An and the group of dogs, and Moses bypassed like a sea, trying to break through with numbers.

Ye An released all his will and focused on assimilating the giant gopher who gave the order.

What he didn't expect was that these gophers could resist. In the tug-of-war between the two sides, Ye An's thinking was stagnant for a moment, and only scarlet remained in front of his eyes.

When he regained his consciousness, the giant gopher he had assimilated lay stiffly on the rock, screaming pitifully, and the next moment his brain burst, and he died on the spot.
