Ye An

Chapter 138 Shipwreck 02

The number of bone fishes far exceeded what Ye An had seen before. According to his speculation, most of the bone fishes that chased the frogs to the delta gathered here.

The fish swarmed in the water, blocking the way to the sunken ship without any gaps.Unless you cross the school of fish, you can't even think about taking half a step forward.

The school of fish found the ice bridge in mid-air, saw Ye An and Xiao Yun on the bridge, and immediately felt the desire to attack and destroy.

Several of the largest bony fish lined up with their fellows, jumped out of the water one after another, swung their long tails forcefully, shook the bridge with their bodies, hit the bridge deck with their hard upper jaws, and even bit with their teeth.

Amidst the crackling sound, shattered ice splashed, and the bone fish attacked wave after wave without any sign of stopping.

Ye An realized that the situation was not good, and immediately concentrated his mind, trying to assimilate the attacking bone fish.

The process went smoothly. Under Ye An's will, the violent emotions of the bone fish were appeased, and the crazy behavior gradually stopped, falling back into the water one after another, and no longer attacking the ice bridge where Ye An and Xiao Yun were.

The school of fish continued to crowd together, and after a while there was a bigger splash, and the group flocked to the waters ahead, with a clear destination, which was where the sunken ship was.

"It won't work like this." Ye An squeezed his swollen forehead, trying his best to locate the commanding target in the fish school, and tried to communicate with the other party after finding it, but unfortunately this time it didn't go well.

Bonefish are not without reason.

A large number of mutated frogs were killed, and the rest fled the isolated island one after another, making it impossible to lay eggs nearby.The bony fish school suddenly lost their main food source, and they didn't want to come in vain, and they had to get the crystals that attracted them.

The snapping turtle shells in the cave are far away from the dark river, and they cannot get close.The keel of the sunken ship became their target, attracted by the energy emitted by the keel, the fish gathered and wanted to get their hands no matter what.

Knowing the purpose and determination of the bone fish, Ye An couldn't help but feel a little headache. It is not so easy to dispel the idea of ​​the fish school.

After thinking twice, Ye An continued to communicate with the fish school, promising to give enough food and crystals in exchange for the fish school getting out of the way and not destroying the keel of the sunken ship.If he is willing to help, he will give more benefits and guarantee the satisfaction of the fish.

The reason for putting forward such a condition is really helpless.

The damage to the keel by the school of colorful fish is limited, at most it can gnaw off some scraps.This is not the case with bone fish. These big guys, whose body length is several times that of colorful fish, are likely to dismantle, break or even smash the keel.

"Spar, food, how?"

To prove what he said was true, Ye An opened the animal skin bag he carried with him, and took out enough dried meat and queen ant spar.Throw the dried meat directly to the fish and let them scramble for it. The spar is crushed and scattered in a large area to ensure that most of the bony fish can be covered.

Even if it is broken into powder, the energy contained in the spar is very pure, enough to attract the attention of the bone fish.

With Ye An's unremitting efforts, the school of fish started a commotion, swimming faster in the water, scrambling for dried meat and spar powder, making the river boil.Immediately afterwards, the largest bone fishes swung their tails, suppressed the unwilling members of the group into the water, swallowed and grabbed the spar powder, and conveyed their willingness to cooperate to Ye An.

During the communication, Ye An could clearly perceive the emotion of the bone fish.

The school of fish is indeed willing to cooperate and to help him, but the desire to attack and bloodthirsty never disappears.If something is wrong, or Ye An changes his mind and refuses to fulfill his promise, the fish will immediately rush up and tear Ye An to pieces.

After reaching an agreement with the school of fish, Ye An took a deep breath, jumped off the ice bridge under Xiao Yun's surprised gaze, and fell straight into the water.

After entering the water, he did not sink immediately, but was supported by a huge bone fish, grabbed the bone spur on the back of the bone fish with one hand, and stood firmly on the back of the fish.

"Master Xiao, the school of fish will send us there." After Ye An stood still, he continued to communicate with the bone fish, and waved to Xiao Yun after confirming that there was no problem.

Several bone fish were swimming under the ice bridge, their speed gradually slowing down, obviously waiting for Xiao Yun to jump off.

The black figure jumped off the bridge without any hesitation, and the hem of his long clothes fluttered like black wings unfolding, reminding Ye An of the birds of prey he had encountered before.

After the two stood still, Ye An continued to assimilate the bone fish. The school of fish was no longer crowded together, but lined up in a long line, constantly going upstream, the speed was beyond imagination.

The water waves are lined up on both sides of the fish school, and the white waves are splashed in series, flying one after another, just like a long chain tied in mid-air.

Being splashed on the face by water, Ye An wiped his cheek with his backhand, exhaled, the hot air condensed into white mist, hanging on his eyebrows and eyelashes.

"a little cold."

Recalling the last time he came here, Ye An couldn't help feeling suspicious, he remembered that it wasn't so cold.

Before he could figure it out, the school of fish had already arrived at a long and narrow stone corridor.

The stone corridor is inlaid in the rock wall and is triangular from bottom to top.The top is submerged into the rock wall, and the bottom is deep into the water.The widest part can accommodate several bony fish in parallel, and the narrowest one can only barely pass through.

The bone fish swam into the stone corridor, and the surroundings were dim. Apart from the sound of water, the sharp sound of scales rubbing against the stone walls on both sides could only be heard.

The water is quite spacious, but the bone fish is different from the colorful fish, they prefer to swim close to the water surface, which causes the fish to form a long line and swim one by one. The reverberation in the middle is always endless.

When walking through the stone corridor, Ye An paid attention to the temperature around him, and he was sure that what he felt was right, it was indeed much colder here than last time.Xiao Yun found that there were traces similar to man-made digging on the rock wall, but the bone fish was so fast that he didn't have more time to observe.

The school of fish swam through the narrowest section of the channel, picking up speed again.

The sound of friction between fish scales and rocks gradually disappeared, replaced by the sound of roaring water.

There was a faint light at the end of the dark corridor, and Ye An knew that they were getting closer to their destination.

The speed of the bone fish was getting faster and faster. Ye An grasped the bone spurs on the fish's back. As he was moving forward at high speed, the animal skin wrapped around his neck was blown by the cold wind, and his black hair was also blown messy. Come, let him shiver uncontrollably.

Finally, the school of fish left the narrow channel and entered the waters where the sunken ship was located.

The darkness receded in an instant, and the eyes suddenly opened up.

Amidst the sound of roaring water, turbulent vortices appeared in front of the two of them, arranged in a ring on the water surface.

In addition to the rotten wood, there are many corpses of mutated frogs in the vortex. I don't know how they got here.

Where the dome was supposed to be, a big hole was now broken, and a large number of snow cubes and shattered ice flew down from the roof of the cave and smashed into the water, causing large waves and rows of water columns.

Ye An looked up, and could see the gray sky, and heard the howling wind, mixed with the roaring water, and couldn't tell where it was on the island, or if it was far away from the isolated island.

The only thing that is certain is that the previous coldness is indeed not an illusion, and the root cause is here.

"How did you do this?" Ye An thought for a long time, but still couldn't determine the reason for the broken dome.

Xiao Yun moved his eyes to the water, and through the rows of eddies, he could vaguely see the wreckage of the warped hull, and immediately formed an ice bridge, came to Ye An's side, and said, "Go down now?"

Ye An came back to his senses, remembered the main purpose of this trip, and nodded to Xiao Yun.

"Let the school of fish disperse." Xiao Yun reminded Ye An.

Ye An quickly communicated with the bone fish and let the fish retreat to the edge of the water, trying not to get close to the vortex and the sunken ship.

After the bone fish dispersed, the ice bridge under Xiao Yun's feet changed. The arched bridge body bent downwards, and the bridge head plunged directly into the water.With the bridge body entering the water as the center, large sheets of ice condense and cover layer by layer, forming a thick ice wall, which surrounds the sunken ship in an arc shape, and the bottom end penetrates deeply into the bottom of the river to discharge layers of water waves.

The ice wall continued to extend and rise, and closed around the sunken ship.

As the wall continued to thicken, the water level near the sunken ship dropped rapidly, and large uneven ice edges and icicles formed along the sunken ship.The remaining river water flowed slowly between the icicles, and the water level did not exceed Ye An's knees by visual inspection.

At this point, the entire sunken ship was surrounded by ice walls and icicles, and Ye An finally saw the whole picture of the ship clearly.

Even though most of the hull was decayed, what remained of the ship was larger than expected.Compared with it, the merchant ship that once amazed Ye An is not enough.

Another snow block fell from a high place and hit the sunken ship, making a bang, and it was torn apart on the spot.

A large number of king crabs were disturbed by the splashing snow, they climbed out of the cabin one after another, and rushed towards Ye An and Xiao Yun.

Faced with a steady stream of king crabs, Xiao Yun continued to form icicles, wrapping the king crabs in them.Ye An was in a hurry and threw out a large bundle of spider silk.

The spider silk hangs on the icicles and is blown by the cold wind to form a spider web.

The king crabs don't know how powerful they are. They swarmed up and were immediately caught by the spider web. The more they struggled, the tighter the entanglement became, and even a few entangled with each other, pulling each other's hind legs, and finally they were tied so tightly that they couldn't move at all.

The bone fish outside the ice wall suddenly became excited and kept swimming around the wall, expressing emotions such as hunting and food.

Ye An turned his head to look at the bone fish, and then looked at the king crabs that kept pouring out of the cabin and were trapped between the icicles. There was no way to send them out for the time being, so he could only try to comfort the bone fish, saying that the things were here , will certainly not disappear.

It wasn't until the bone fish calmed down that Ye An stepped onto the ice bridge, walked back and forth to the sunken ship with Xiao Yun, cleaned up the king crabs entrenched at the entrance, and prepared to enter the cabin.

The exterior of the hull is very decayed, and part of it is covered with turquoise mutated plants. If you step on it, you must be very careful. If you are not careful, you may step on the board and sink your whole leg.

The two walked along the sloping deck to the entrance of the cabin, and a unique smell wafted from inside.

Ye An sniffed, took out a bottle of lily-of-the-valley antidote from his bosom, poured out two pills, took one by himself, and handed the other to Xiao Yun.

This smell is not pungent, and it even smells good, but in an unknown situation, the danger cannot be completely ruled out, so it is better to be careful.
