Chapter 183
The three foxes were not driven away after all.
The mutated dog was sent back to the cave where Ye An lived, and the little fox temporarily made his home in the hot spring cave.Ye An learned that they no longer had parents, and the reason why they appeared on the isolated island was pure luck.
Before the wolves were summoned by Ye An, they gathered to deal with the robbers, and the territory became empty.The little fox took this opportunity to land on the island. Fortunately, he came to the center of the island and hid in an abandoned burrow.
Most of the mutated foxes in the delta live in the stone forest and live by preying on small animals such as gophers and snow rabbits.Occasionally catch bugs and frogs, or search for bird eggs.
The cubs were born this year. Their parents were killed by birds of prey when they were out hunting. If they want to survive, they must hunt by themselves, and gradually learn to cooperate with each other in the process.Even so, they are too small after all, and they are dangerous before entering the isolated island, and they almost died several times.
Ye An knew what happened to the little foxes, and admired their will and ability to survive.
Such a small cub has learned to hunt cooperatively without being taught by its parents, from the stone forest to the isolated island,
How can it not be admirable to try every means to keep yourself alive?
There is hot air above the spring, and the wind does not feel cold when it blows in. It seems that there are two worlds inside and outside the cave.
Ye An simply handled the deer leg, cut off a few pieces and handed it to the little fox, then lit the fire and roasted the deer leg on the fire.
The little fox looked at the venison in front of him, hesitating and dare not speak.
Ye An picked one up casually, dried its fur with a cloak, then picked up fresh venison, and fed it directly into its mouth.
"Eat."
The little fox looked up at Ye An, and the big ears that had been lying on the back of his head finally stood up.
Sensing the change in the little guy's mood, Ye An unconsciously smiled.
The three little foxes dried their fur, and they jumped at the bloodshot venison together, held it down with their paws, and quickly bit and swallowed it.
When they were almost finished eating, the deer legs on the fire had already been roasted with fat, which slid down the golden barbecue surface and dripped into the fire. At the same time as there was a burst of noise, the fragrance also wafted into the cave.
The mutated python slowly moved its body, and its head leaned closer again.
The little fox quickly curled up and curled up into a ball, still looking very scared.
The black letter was tapped on his shoulder, Ye An didn't turn his head back, he patted the mutant python's mouth with his backhand, and said: "This deer leg is too small, when the rain calms down, I'll catch some big fish for you. Remember you like fish very much."
While speaking, Ye An drew out his dagger and sliced off a few pieces from the deer's leg.
He didn't have any salt on him, but it didn't bother him. His eyes wandered around the cave, and he quickly locked on to the two hanging vines.
Vines grow from the rock peaks and are dark green in color.The oval leaves overlap into towers, with white spots on the back, and clusters of grape-like fruits, each the size of a thumb, hang between the leaves.
Ye An got up and walked to the vine, wrapped his hands in animal skin, held the thorny vine, and cut two bunches of fruit from it.
The surface of the fruit is turquoise, covered with hook-like hairs, not very sharp, but once stuck in the hand, it is difficult to take it out, it is painful and itchy, and it feels very uncomfortable.
Ye An accidentally made a move. It was Lily of the Valley who found a sticky mutated plant and cleaned the burrs from his hands.Not wanting to make his hands full of thorns, Ye An acted very cautiously, trying not to touch the surface of the fruit, picked up the thin vine with a dagger, and threw the two bunches of fruit into the hot spring.
The flowing hot water can effectively remove the fluff on the peel. When the temperature reaches a certain level, the green peel will change color, and then burst open, revealing the white pulp inside.
The fruits exploded one after another. Ye An picked up two strings of thin vines, easily took out the almond-shaped pulp, crushed it, and spread the juice on the roasted deer leg.
These juices have a salty taste, not as good as salt, but they also add flavor to roasts.
Ye An ate most of the deer leg in one go, put down the dagger, took the hot spring to wash off the oil stains on his mouth and hands, and then tied the rest of the deer leg with hay, intending to give it to the mutant dog.
Outside the cave, the rain did not decrease at all, but became larger and larger as time passed.
The sky was like an opening, rain poured down, and cascaded down from the clouds, causing the water level of the river to soar, flowing through the edge of the delta, and once flooded the river bank, attracting the vigilance of the wolves.
Every rainy season, the delta will be flooded, the area of the isolated island will decrease accordingly, and the stone forest where the foxes and jackals live will sink underwater.Except for some tall stone pillars and trees, there are only scattered footholds, which are basically occupied by mutant beasts.
This year's situation is a bit special. The isolated island has a master, a camp built by humans, a pack of powerful dogs and wolves, plus firebirds, most of the mutant beasts cannot move to the island.
As a result, there will inevitably be fierce competition in several places with higher terrain.
Lions and mutant tigers don't have such concerns. Ye An will not stop them from entering the isolated island, and will open the door wide open.
However, the rainy season has just begun, the delta has not yet been flooded, the lioness and tigress will not move out of the territory, but will take advantage of the large numbers of mutant beasts to catch a few more to feed themselves and their children.
As for the male lions, most of the time they rely on the lioness to provide food. If the lioness does not leave, naturally she will not leave.When hunting large mutant beasts, it can still play a role, and it can be regarded as taking the opportunity to regain self-confidence, and will not completely become the bottom of the group.
As the water level of the river soared, there were more and more fish schools in the water, not only in quantity but also in variety.
A group of finless porpoises are flowing down the river. They have a round body, and their mouths seem to be smiling when they close their mouths. They look very cute.But this group of cute guys are full of fighting power, even a bone fish of similar size dare not easily provoke them.
When the two tiger sharks encounter a passing finless porpoise, they naturally become curious.Before they could get close, the finless porpoise surrounded them first, and assumed a hunting posture, so that they could clearly feel what fear is.
This kind of fear never happened even when facing monkfish.
Fortunately, the finless porpoise didn't intend to do anything, and just let go of the tiger shark just for deterrence, and continued to move forward along the direction of the river.
The tiger shark survived and saw how dangerous the outside world was, and really wanted to return to the wreck.
Towards evening, the heavy rain finally came to an end.
The sky is still gloomy, the air is extremely humid, and the wind is wrapped in cold raindrops, and heavy rain may come again at any time.
Keeping his promise, Ye An left the cave after the rain stopped, intending to go to the river to catch a few big fish and give them to the mutant python while the sky was not completely dark.
The little fox didn't want to stay alone and dared not to stay alone, and kept clinging to Ye An, even hugging his calf with his front paws.
This similar scene made Ye An helpless.
Forget about pandas, why does a fox have such potential?
The little fox was unwilling to let go of its claws, and raised its head and howled, looking very pitiful.If it wasn't for being able to perceive their emotions, Ye An would really believe that they were completely in fear, rather than being coquettish.
"No wonder the ancients wanted to write vixen."
Ye An was so entangled that he had no choice but to get angry with the little ones, so he could only agree to their entreaties.Pulling the little foxes off their legs and pressing their hands on their bellies, the little ones not only did not resist, but obediently retracted their four paws and yelled flatteringly, looking quite pleasing.
The mutated python spat out the letter, with its eyelids half lifted, and urged Ye An to catch fish for him.
"Understood." Ye An patted the huge body of the mutant python.
Today, he has grown to enjoy working with animals more than humans.
This feeling is so wonderful that it cannot be described in words.If I really want to sum it up, it is trust.Compared with unpredictable humans, mutant animals communicate better and are more pure.
The mutated python stepped aside, and Ye An walked out with the little fox.
After a heavy rain, the wind became very cold.
Ye An wrapped the cloak tightly, picked up the little fox by the way, and hugged it in his arms. The smooth fur and warm little body looked like three small heaters.
Because of the fox, Ye An didn't summon the mutant dog and planned to hike through the dense forest.In order to save time, he sprinted all the way, and the speed surprised even himself.
Passing by the pool, Ye An met Ash who was carrying a wicker basket, and knew that he was bringing medicine to the camp, and told him to take a message to Lily of the Valley, and he would not return to the underground cave for the time being.
"Keep an eye on the water level of the underground river. If the water level rises too fast, move to the rocky mountain first. Also, Gerald wants to change his wound medicine, ask her if she is willing to change it, and if so, what do you want to change it for."
"Yes, my lord."
"I will stay in the hot spring cave for the next two days, you can come and find me over there."
"Yes."
Thinking that Ye An had no other orders, Ash was about to go back underground when he was suddenly stopped again.
"Wait, take them back together and give them to Xiaozhu and Milo."
It was inconvenient for Ye An to take the little foxes with him anytime and anywhere, and the dog group obviously rejected them, so he simply handed them over to Xiao Zhu and Mi Luo to take care of them, there shouldn't be any problem.
"Fox?" Ash looked at the three little guys in surprise.
"Yes." Ye An passed on his decision to the little foxes, calmed down their emotions, and put them into rattan baskets, and Ash brought them back underground.
The little fox didn't resist. The three little heads were close together, and the front paws were on the edge of the rattan basket, looking even cuter.
Ye An couldn't hold back, nodded their little heads, waved to Ash, put the hood of the cloak on his head, and walked quickly to the river.
