Ye An

Chapter 269 Weird Caravan

The hippo fight continued into the evening.

More and more hippos died and were seriously injured, and all the rivers near the battlefield were dyed red.

Schools of fish, mutated snails, river shells and river shrimps are attracted and appear near the battlefield.They didn't dare to get too close, and only looked for opportunities to drag away the dead hippo's body and feast on it in the water.

Ye An no longer assimilated the hippopotamus, and the fierce battle did not stop.

The behavior of the hippo leader to eradicate dissidents was discovered, and he was besieged by the young male hippo.

The female hippopotamus neglected her cubs during the fight, resulting in the death of the young hippopotamus. The grief and anger urgently needed to be vented, and the collective went into a frenzy.

Unless external forces intervene, this fighting cannot be stopped.

When the warship returned to the city, Ye An motioned for the rope to be lowered.

The hull is damaged and needs to be repaired urgently.Tools and wood were sent from the head of the city, and by the way, hunters with good craftsmanship came down together to help repair the warship.

Ye An had something to do, the black python left Ye An's shoulder and slid to the stern, looking at the chaotic battlefield, he couldn't help but want to get into the water, but Ye An grabbed his tail from behind.

"Don't go, stay on the boat."

Ye An grabbed the black python and wrapped its tail around the boat pole to prevent it from participating in the hippo fight.

The squirrel jumped onto the ship's side, saw the black python's appearance at this moment, waved its paw vigorously twice, and his mood improved obviously.

The arrival of a group of mutant crocodiles intensified the chaos on the battlefield.

This group of crocodiles came from upstream, each of them was more than six or seven meters long, bigger than any crocodiles Ye An had ever seen.The first few are especially strong, with thick and tough hard skin covering the body surface, and triangular hard bones erected on the back, with sharp edges like knives, which can easily cut through the flesh of the prey.

The crocodiles were attracted by the smell of blood. When they found the hippopotamus in the melee, they decided that they could take advantage of it and rushed up immediately.

Normally, this group of crocodiles might not dare to provoke the hippopotamus.The situation is different now. The hippos fought for half a day, and more than one-third of them were killed or injured. Those who are still alive are also exhausted, and it is difficult to cope with the attack of the crocodiles.

The crocodile specifically looks for the injured hippopotamus to attack. Once it locks on to the target, it will open its huge mouth to bite tightly, drag it out of the group with all its strength, and press it underwater to drown.

In just one meeting, seven or eight hippos died at the bottom of the river.

The group of hippos finally came to their senses, stopped fighting each other, and instead opened their mouths wide to bite the crocodile that was pounced on.

Standing on the deck, Ye An witnessed a six-meter-long crocodile being bitten by a hippopotamus and snapped in two on the spot. He couldn't help but feel lucky that the warship escaped in time.Otherwise, if you are dragged underwater by these terrifying guys, you will be seriously injured if you don't die.

The crocodiles and hippos fought together, and the casualties multiplied.

The finless porpoise and the tiger shark have long avoided being affected by the battle.The mutated fish, mutated snails, river shells and river shrimps in the water also stayed away, and they did not forget to drag away the dead hippopotamus and crocodile in the process.

Bright red blood and minced meat were scattered in the river, attracting a large group of mutated birds in addition to the water residents.

In addition, Ye An also found a fluttering green light on the high ground not far away, which was the pupil of the mutant beast glowing in the dark.

The cry of the night owl resounded, and a large number of birds that were good at preying in the dark flocked, flying and circling over the battlefield, spreading their wings, and passing each other, like black clouds pressing down, blocking the rare few stars.

The hippopotamus and the crocodile were red-eyed, and they didn't plan to stop, and there was no way to stop.The two sides are evenly matched, once one side retreats, it is very likely that the other side will wipe out the entire ethnic group.

Waves of water were set off one after another, and large sections of the river were dyed bright red.

The number of dead hippopotamuses and crocodiles is increasing, and the corpses are all so damaged that almost no intact place can be found.

On the warship, everyone was busy cutting planks, repairing the hull damaged by the hippopotamus, and preventing the cabin from flooding.

The city wall was brightly lit. In addition to the rotating guards, many hunters who had nothing to do also rushed up, lying on the wall bricks and looking out, not wanting to miss this fierce battle.

The fighting lasted until midnight, and both sides were finally exhausted.

The hippos and crocodiles all began to retreat cautiously, trying to distance themselves from each other.

The long-awaited predators will not let them go.

The mutated fish, which are usually dismissive, took advantage of their numbers, showed their sharp fangs, and brazenly rushed into the battlefield.

The mutated snail floated up from the bottom of the river, attached to the target's wound, and pierced in with its powerful arms and legs, digging away a large piece of flesh and blood.

River shells and river prawns are not very aggressive, they can only swim around the target and snatch the torn meat.

Hippos and crocodiles struggled in the water, and the birds in the sky screamed and rushed to the water in batches, tearing off large strips of flesh and blood from the targets and swallowing them on the spot.

Finless porpoises and tiger sharks also make an appearance at this time, joining the fish and sharing the feast.

A wounded hippo rushed out of the encirclement, and in a panic, rushed towards the direction of the warship.

Seeing that the hippo was about to hit him, Ye An let go of the black python, grabbed a long knife, and jumped off the side of the boat.

The black python stepped into the water first, and when Ye An fell, he raised his upper body and lifted him out of the water.

The hippopotamus was getting closer and closer, and the black python pushed aside the river water to meet it head-on.

Ye An gripped the long knife tightly, and when the black python bit the hippo's neck and entangled his body, he jumped on top of the hippo's head, pointed the knife down, and stabbed the hippo's eyes.

With [-]% strength, Ye An pierced the hippopotamus' flesh, shattered the hard bones, and went straight into the hippopotamus' skull.

The hippo struggled in pain, was tightly entangled by the black python, and gradually lost its vitality.

Before Ye An could withdraw his knife, a crocodile with a body length of nearly seven meters suddenly broke out of the water. Its terrifying huge mouth opened behind Ye An's back, and there were pieces of meat between its sharp teeth.

If he was bitten by it and dragged into the water, even Ye An would be injured.

At the critical moment, Ye An didn't have time to turn around, quickly retracted the long knife, held the handle of the knife with both hands, and stabbed behind him with his backhand, successfully piercing the crocodile's upper jaw.

At the same time, a lot of frost fell from the sky, Xiao Yun jumped down from the city wall, wrapped in cold wind, and the transparent ice covered the river surface, trapping the injured crocodile in it.

The coldness invaded and spread forward from the warship.

Both predators and prey were shrouded in frost, turning into ice sculptures in an instant.

The finless porpoise and tiger shark are so fast that they dive underwater before the frost hits.Hippos, crocodiles, and predators in the water were not so lucky. Most of them were frozen in the first place and could not move at all.

Flocks of birds circled in the sky, making high-pitched calls.

From their calls, Ye An could clearly capture dissatisfaction and anger.But frightened by the strength of Ye An and Xiao Yun, none of them rushed down to attack.

"Thanks."

Ye An retracted the long knife and crushed the thin ice covering the blade.

With concern in his eyes, Xiao Yun made sure that he was not injured by the crocodile, and then sent a signal to the top of the city.

The gates of the city were opened, and hunters took ropes and tools onto the ice to harvest frozen fish, shrimp, and conch shells.

When they were about to drag away the hippo and crocodile sealed in the ice, the ice suddenly cracked, and the living hippo and crocodile broke free one after another, broke through the broken ice, and fled to the downstream of the river desperately.

"Don't chase, clean up the river."

Xiao Yun gave the order, and the hunters gave up their pursuit and searched for targets among the broken ice.

Flocks of birds flew down from the sky, scrambling for the meat that the hunters didn't want.

Ye An returned to the warship and took his spoils back with him.He found that the hippopotamus was too big to be dragged onto the deck, so he asked Xiao Yun to help him build an ice platform, decompose it directly on the platform, and distribute the large pieces of meat to black pythons, squirrels, carrier pigeons, and small animals on the ship.

When Hunter City was busy harvesting prey, Jin Cheng, who had been controlled by Gerrard, ushered in a special caravan.

This caravan lingered outside the city for a long time, and at one time people thought they had left.

After entering the city, the leader asked to see Gerrard directly, saying that there were excellent goods for sale.

The caravan leader was a man nearly two meters tall, with slender eyebrows and a hooked nose.Judging from his appearance alone, it is difficult to judge his age. It can only be inferred from his words and deeds that he will never be young.

Another point is that the breath he gave off made Gerald very uncomfortable, even disgusting.

"You want to see me?" Gerald asked, looking at the man who called himself Zam.

"Yes, my lord."

Zam bent down to salute, took out a slender metal bottle from his arms, and presented the bottle in front of Gerald with a voice like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter.

"The things inside can relieve your troubles and make Jincheng brilliant again."
