Ye An

Chapter 155

On the bank of the river, Ye An sat opposite Xiao Yun, broke off a dry vine and threw it into the fire, telling how he discovered the map.

"It's in a cave where supplies are stored."

Both of them were clear about what happened in the trade zone, and Xiao Yun had also heard about what happened to Kapok and others.Regarding the identity of the owner of the cave, Ye An didn't go into details, and directly told the internal structure of the cave, as well as the bones and several weapons found in the cave.

"Several short knives have the same pattern on them."

Ye An pulled out a length of carbonized vine from the fire, blew out the sparks at the top, picked up a fan-shaped stone from his side, and drew the pattern in his memory on it.

"Fish pattern." Xiao Yun took a glance and recognized the source of the pattern, "This is the fish pattern of Haicheng."

Ye An put down the stone, threw the vines into the fire again, and continued: "I'll show you the map when I get back."

Now that he said it, Ye An didn't intend to keep hiding it.

The trip to the shipwreck was thrilling, but the rewards were not small.

Especially the animal skin roll brought out, the things recorded on it are quite useful, even if it is impossible to do it under the current conditions, it will definitely be useful in the future.

There was a sudden explosion in the fire. It was the bonfire that roasted and cracked the rocks below, and encountered the jelly dripping from the inside of the vines.

Ye An dodged to avoid Mars, and was about to pull out a few vines, when suddenly there was a sound of water on the river.

Sensing the school of fish, Ye An immediately got up and approached the river regardless of the bonfire.

In a battle not long ago, two great white sharks died, and the river surface was flooded with blood and minced meat. They were cleaned up in a short period of time, and the remaining bones and debris were also washed away without leaving any traces.

Ripples suddenly appeared in the water flow, spreading out in a circular shape, rippling in circles, causing the water waves to fluctuate, and even rushed to the river bank at the edge.

The situation was a bit weird, Ye An couldn't help tensing up, Xiao Yun also put down the animal skin roll, grabbed the long knife and walked over.

"what's the situation?"

"I don't know for now." Ye An stared at the center of the vortex closely. He was [-]% sure that it was a group of salmon that caused this phenomenon.This group of salmon does not seem to be hunting, why they hovered in the water and did not go out, acting against common sense, it is really puzzling.

Soon, the shadow of a school of salmon appeared in the center of the vortex, confirming Ye An's guess.

What happened next took him by surprise.

A large number of salmon floated from the bottom of the river, dragging fragmented shark skin, and several seashells more than half a meter in diameter.Among the salmon was a small school of mantis shrimp, and they were clutching several king crabs with a dead sea anemone in their claws.

Such a scene is very strange, not to mention Ye An, even Xiao Yun was a little surprised.

Schools of fish and mantis shrimp swam to the bank with their prey, and then pushed the shark skin and seashells onto the table like litter.The seashell is not dead yet, but because it left the sunken ship and was besieged by fishes, it became dying. It could not resist, so it could only hold the shell tightly, and dare not open it no matter what.

The mantis shrimp climbed ashore one after another, dragging the king crabs they caught.

Ye An observed carefully, and found that the king crab was surrounded by mantis shrimp, and he sacrificed the big turtle to smash the crab shells one by one, breaking all the crab legs, and then returned to the river contentedly, without any intention of eating them. .

Seeing this situation, Ye An couldn't restrain his curiosity, and released his will to assimilate the mantis shrimp, trying to find out the cause of the incident while avoiding being infected by the other party's emotions.

Not only sharks left the wreck, but also seashells washed out by the river, king crabs, a few sea anemones, and even a few sea snakes.

With sharks attracting attention, these shipwreck residents entered the dark river and lurked underwater without attracting much attention.After the battle, He Bei cleaned the battlefield and returned to the bottom of the river one after another. Only when he met a bigger Hai Bei did he realize that something was wrong.

These seashells and king crabs occupy the salmon spawning grounds, and there are many mantis shrimp larvae nearby.Without the protection of family members, the results of fish eggs and shrimp fry can be imagined.

By the time the salmon schools and mantis shrimp returned, the spawning grounds had been destroyed.

There are so many salmon eggs that even if most of them are eaten, they still remain under the river sand.The mantis shrimp was not so lucky, and the frisky shrimp larvae were almost wiped out.

Such behavior has angered fish schools and mantis shrimp, and even more outraged to find sea shells and king crabs breeding in spawning grounds.Seashells and king crabs failed to escape, some were mobbed by fish on the spot, and others were smashed to pieces by mantis shrimp.

The king crab was dying, trying to block the attacker with the sea anemone, and even pulled out several sea snakes hidden under the sand.

The salmon bit the sea snake into several pieces on the spot, and was a little afraid of the sea anemone, so there was no good way.The mantis shrimp didn't care at all, being entangled by the sea anemone on the spot, it still sacrificed its big claw and chased after the king crab with the sea anemone.

As a result of the battle, seashells and king crabs were completely defeated. All the members who invaded the dark river were left, and all died under the siege of salmon and mantis shrimp.Female shellfish and female crabs are dragged ashore, and eggs are not allowed to remain in the water.

After the mantis shrimp and salmon shoal left, Ye An looked at the gradually recovering water surface and confirmed that they had gone far away. Then he turned his gaze back and landed on the broken king crab, and suddenly said: "The instinct is to waste food."

Xiao Yun paused, as if he didn't expect him to come to such a conclusion.

Ye An bent down and picked up some crab claws and crab legs, motioning for Xiao Yun to help move the seashells.

"There is no condition on the boat, you must try it now."

Returning to the fire, Ye An found that the flame was about to go out, so he quickly leaned over to blow air, and added a lot of withered moss to the fire.When adding vines, break them and look inside to avoid danger caused by dripping glue.

When the fire came up, Ye An got up and walked towards the rock wall, and quickly moved back a few stones.

He wanted to make a grill, but tried twice and failed.I can only give up this idea, break off a section of tree roots protruding from the rock wall, and use the roots to support the crab legs and claws to roast.

"good."

After making sure that the crab legs and claws would not fall into the fire, Ye An buried himself in the seashells again.It took some effort to pry open the shells, and to measure the size, set up a few stones next to the fire, using the shells as supports, and set them directly above the flames.

During the process, he came across a crab claw that was set aside, and Ye An quickly grabbed it, but was scratched by the sharp crab shell.Fortunately, the wound was not deep and there was no bleeding.

"Are you okay?" Xiao Yun asked concerned.

"It's okay." Ye An waved his hand, only then did he realize that he was busy all the time, and even forgot that Xiao Yun was by his side.

Surviving in a difficult environment for a long time, when encountering food, his attention will always be particularly concentrated.Moreover, the two had experienced life and death several times, and he was no longer as guarded against Xiao Yun as before, so it was not unexpected that this happened.

When Ye An was busy, Xiao Yun was also not idle. He took out the dagger, scraped the inside and outside of the shark skin with the back of the knife, and cut the whole shark skin into squares of similar size.

Seeing Xiao Yun handling the shark skin, Ye An couldn't help thinking of the spar found in the secret room.At that time, the shark skin wrapped outside the spar was able to isolate the energy emitted by the spar.

It's a pity that he doesn't have any spar at hand, so he can't verify that the shark skin can be used directly, and still needs further processing.

Xiao Yun stacked the treated shark skins together, wiped the dagger clean, saw Ye An's expression, guessed in his heart, and said, "These shark skins can be dried to wrap crystals."

"No need for special treatment?" Ye An asked.

"unnecessary."

While the two were talking, the seashell meat was gradually roasting, exuding a peculiar fragrance.Crab legs and crab claws are also roasted one after another, and the shell changes color at high temperature.

Ye An borrowed the dagger from Xiao Yun, sliced ​​open the seashell, tied a piece and blew it, and put it into his mouth.There is no salt, and the taste is quite good.

"It tastes good." Ye An sliced ​​off another piece of seashell meat and handed it to Xiao Yun with a dagger.

He intended to pass the dagger together, but Xiao Yun didn't want to take it, but lowered his head, bit off the seashell meat from the dagger, chewed it twice and nodded, saying: "It's really good."

Ye An stuck his dagger on the seashell, motioning Xiao Yun to do it himself, then picked up a stone, smashed open the cooked crab claws and legs, and picked out the slightly hard crab meat from inside.

Perhaps due to the variation, the meat of these king crabs is very thick, but the taste is very ordinary, far inferior to the mantis shrimp.

After eating a crab claw, Ye An lost interest. Adhering to the principle of not wasting, he put the removed crab meat into the empty shell, and planned to add some seasoning to make the meat jerky after returning home. Maybe the taste would be better.

After eating seashells, the two put away their harvest, extinguished the bonfire, and returned along the way they came.

On the way, he passed the river bank where the little crab lived. It was probably very late, Ye An didn't see a little crab, but there were a lot more mud balls on the bank.

As he continued to move forward, he heard a dog barking. It turned out that Ling Lan was worried and brought a few mutated dogs along to find her.

When Ye An and Lily of the Valley met, on the snow field dozens of miles away from the isolated island, a silver-gray modified car was speeding fast.

The body is streamlined, can easily press through thick snow, and can even slide on ice.

Such a modified car has an astonishing speed, but it also has its disadvantages. Its own protection is average, and it cannot carry a lot of supplies.

The roar of the engine tore through the strong wind and spread far away in the snow field.

A group of reindeer who were looking for food were frightened, thinking they had encountered a hunting team, the doe immediately ran away with the fawn, while the irritable buck turned around and rushed towards the direction of the modified car, fighting for the deer. time to escape.

The deer aren't the only trouble.

The sound of an engine came from a distance, and five identical modified cars and more than a dozen snowmobiles appeared one after another, chasing after the speeding modified car.

The knights wore thick long coats and boots.The coat is a reflective material, not like hide or any kind of fabric, more like it's made of metal.

The knight's helmet is very special, and the goggles in front of the head are brown. In addition to resisting the severe cold and snow and protecting eyesight, they obviously have other functions.

As the distance gradually narrowed, the tailgates of the five modified cars suddenly opened, and metal ropes flew out of them, which were caught by the knight in mid-air and neatly wrapped around the front of the motorcycle.

With the traction of the modified car, the speed of the motorcycle increases instantly.

The knight didn't need to control the direction. He let go of his hands while galloping, took out the iron crossbow from behind, held it flat in front of him, pointed it at the modified car in front, pressed his fingers, and dozens of arrows flew out at the same time, roaring and hitting the target directly.
