Ye An

Chapter 180 Guess

After a short rest, everyone was ready to go into the water again.

This time, Ye Anpei put on a respirator and entered the river with Gerald.

Tiger sharks were swimming not far away, and the group of puffer fish that entered the deep water never appeared again.On the contrary, many crabs gathered along the shore, climbed ashore along the long strip of shells and snail shells, dug up the wet mud with their big claws, and hid in together with the snail shells they were hiding in.

The river water is very cold, the shallow layer is very clear, and the further down the river, the more turbid it becomes.

The bottom of the river is filled with a large number of eddies, and river sand and silt are constantly being rolled up, drifting along the water eddies, forming a large dark area under the water.

Gerrard and the Jincheng people led the way ahead, raising their arms and waving them twice at intervals to ensure that the people behind them would not wander off.

Ye An was wearing a respirator, and from time to time, bubbles would float out of the wooden tube around his mouth, gather in front of his eyes, and then spread out, forming circles of water rings, blocking his vision.

The Jincheng man's speed gradually increased, and Gerald struggled to swing his limbs, passed through the underwater vortex, and came to the river bed covered with ore.

Just as Ye An was about to go over, he was suddenly pushed on the back, and when he looked back, it turned out to be a tiger shark that was supposed to be on the surface of the water.

Facing the two tiger sharks, Kapok and the others felt like they were facing a formidable enemy, but Ye An knew that they were not hostile. After a short communication, he turned over and covered the tiger shark's back, holding the triangular dorsal fin with one hand, and the tiger shark led it through. Passing through the vortex is effortless.

Opposite the vortex, Jincheng people were surprised when they saw two tiger sharks.It was because of these two sharks that I was anxious to surface before.

Without waiting for everyone to take up their weapons, Ye An straightened up from Tiger Shark's back, waved to the opposite side, conveying a feeling of peace of mind.He didn't assimilate the Jincheng people, he didn't communicate with them through supernatural powers, he just simply calmed their emotions so that they would no longer be afraid of tiger sharks.

Gerald shook his head. As a mutant, he could guess what Ye An did.However, the other party didn't seem to intend to control himself, and he didn't have any malice. Looking at the subordinates in the same industry, he no longer had the previous anxiety. He temporarily suppressed the worries in his heart, and pointed out the riverbed with the most ore accumulation to Ye An according to the previous plan.

There are far more ore underwater than expected, and a section of the riverbed is almost covered.

The ores of different sizes and shapes are stacked together, and the edges are often messy, and the more they are concentrated towards the center of the river bed, they are even piled up into hills, stretching on the bottom of the river, like a crouching monster, leading to further distances.

Ye An patted the tiger shark's head to signal them to stay where they were. He swam to the ore pile that Gerald was pointing at, picked up the one the size of a fist from the bottom, and nodded to Gerald after confirming it.

Gerald gestured to Ye An again, and led him to the place dug before.

It is also a hill made of ore. The side of the mountain has been hollowed out, and a hollow has caved in below. What is piled up in the cave is not river sand, but a large amount of decayed wood and rusty iron and copper.

The wood is so rotten that the original shape cannot be seen, the iron sheet is covered with rust, and the copper sheet is covered with moss. It is also impossible to see what it was originally, but one thing is certain, these are not naturally formed, but artificially polished.

Such a discovery verifies Gerald's previous speculation that the bottom of the river is not simply a pile of ore, but a vein of ore.

Ye An swam along the riverbed for a certain distance, changed the respirator with Gerald's help, continued to search the ore pile, and found several human bones near the edge one after another.

The bones were badly damaged, most of them mutilated.Judging from the remaining parts, the time of death should not be long.

After brushing away the sand on the surface of the bones, Ye An found two broken bone knives and several pieces of animal skins torn into strips. He guessed that these people might be the bandits who invaded the Delta before.

These robbers were dragged into the water by the bone fish, or fell into the water from the ice, and they all died in the river without being able to escape.Their bodies were taken away by the rapid current, intercepted by ore piles on the way, and finally sank to the bottom of the river, where they were discovered by a group of people searching for ore veins.

The people of Jincheng hated these robbers extremely, and if conditions did not permit, they would be crushed immediately.

The oxygen was about to run out, Gerald gestured to Ye An, and pointed to the top of his head.

Ye An nodded, and when he was about to swim back, two tiger sharks approached again. Ye An didn't need to turn over, they swam directly under him, lifted him up easily, and sent him all the way to the river.

In a similar situation, Mu Mian and the others were no strangers to it, and swung their limbs to follow.

The Jincheng people were shocked again, including Gerrard, they couldn't hide the shock in their hearts.

It turns out that mutants can be so strong!

It's no wonder that the Lord of the Hunter City made friends with him. The Hunters, who have always been feared by various forces, seem to have changed in the Delta.

The Jincheng people approached Gerald, covered by the respirator, and couldn't see the expressions on their faces clearly, but Gerald could guess five or six points of everyone's minds.

At this moment, he is very fortunate that he made the right choice before.

If they hadn't taken the initiative to lower their bodies to make friends with Ye An, they might not be able to meet the wilderness bandits. The first time they met Ye An, they would be wiped out without leaving a bone.

Everyone broke out of the water and swam to the river bank one after another.

The wind gradually stopped, and the temperature rose slightly, but it was still bitingly cold for people who were soaked all over.

Ye An returned to the shore, quickly jumped a few times, wrapped in the prepared animal skin, and shook the wet hair on his head.Sensing his coldness, the mutated dogs lying on the shore broke free from the ropes and surrounded him one after another, using their own bodies to help him keep warm.

Wrapped in animal skins, Ye An hugged a snow-white mutant dog with fluffy hair into his arms, buried his head and rubbed the hair on the mutant dog's back, and let out a long breath of comfort.

The mutated dog looked sideways at Ye An, licked his ears and hair, and made a sound like comforting a cub.

Ye An raised his head and scratched the mutated dog's ears and chin. Immediately, two more mutated dogs rushed forward, ignoring their companions threatening to bark their teeth, and insisted on crowding beside Ye An, wagging their tails vigorously at him.

This scene is really enviable.

But the others didn't have Ye An's ability, so they didn't dare to get too close to the dogs.Don't look at these mutated dogs being very docile in front of Ye An, they don't seem to be aggressive at all, but for other people, they might be torn to pieces in minutes.

Kapok and Gerald each led people to pick up branches and dry grass, and set up a fire by the river.After the fire was lit, everyone warmed up by the fire, while taking out the dried meat they brought, roasting it by the fire and feeding it into their mouths.

Continuously going into the water is very exhausting, even if it is not time to eat, everyone is already hungry.The two-finger-thick jerky was eaten quickly, and the boiled and warmed water was poured down, and it was only three or four full.

After warming his body, Ye An didn't pick up the dried meat sent by Kapok, but took the mutant dog to the bank of the river, dug out the densely arranged mud holes, and dug out the crabs with snail shells.

Seeing Ye An's actions, Mu Mian immediately walked over and said, "My lord, do you want these crabs?"

"Yes." Ye An nodded, and continued to dig the mud hole, "Try the taste."

Since puffer fish can be eaten, it proves that these crabs are not poisonous.It doesn't look small, and the taste should not be bad.

There are quite a lot of crabs by the river, and Ye An quickly picked up half of the animal skin bag.I picked it up to try the weight, and found that it was about the same. I rummaged by the river again, and soon found two relatively complete shells, each with a diameter of more than two palms, which were just right for use as a grill.

Out of curiosity, Kapok also dug a lot of crabs, returned to the fire, and gave Ye An a place.

"No, I'll do it myself."

Ye An took a lit branch, and the mutated dog had picked up a lot of firewood, and two of them dragged a large section of dry vines, which burned faster than the branches.

The flames started to fly, Ye An propped up a few branches, put the shells on it, and then took out the crab from the bag, but couldn't pull it out with the big claw, so he simply put the whole thing on it, and the aroma was roasted after a while.

While waiting for the crabs to be cooked, Ye An picked up the ore he brought out from the water and leaned closer to the fire to observe.As the heat rose, the surface of the ore gradually turned golden, which was exactly the same as what the kapok brought him before.

"It's really good stuff."

Ye An whispered, put down the ore, and thought about how to mine the vein.

Gerrard and the others were in a hurry to return to Jincheng, and they definitely wouldn't stay in the delta for long.

In this way, there is no rush to mine the veins at the bottom of the river.There are not a lot of ore on the river bed, so we can make full use of it first.Wait until the manpower is sufficient, master the method proficiently, and make preparations before further mining.

Ye An had a hunch that the mine at the bottom of the river was not simple.

Although it sounds unbelievable, he always felt that the underwater shipwreck, the cave on the isolated island, and the mine at the bottom of the river were inextricably linked.

The most critical point is the fish pattern, more precisely, it is the sea city represented by the fish pattern.

Looking at the gradually changing color of the crab, and remembering Xiao Yun's confession to him after getting out of the sunken ship, several thoughts flashed through Ye An's mind, but they were like tangled threads. He knew the answer was in it, but for a while I can't find the untwisted thread.
