Ye An

Chapter 134 Glacier

Camille and the three worked together to kill a mutant bullfrog, cut off the mutant frog's head, and made sure that it would not jump up suddenly again, then retrieved the broken arrow from the frog, pulled out the short knife embedded in the bone, and continued along the river bank Forward.

The closer to the destination, the darker the blood in the river becomes.

Ash stopped suddenly in the middle, pointed at the dark blue mixed in the bright red, and asked in surprise, "What is that?"

Camille and Ova came over one after another, and after careful observation, they were also puzzled by the variegated colors floating in the scarlet.

"Forget it, don't worry so much, it's important to go back quickly. We may not be able to deal with the mutated frog again!" Ao Wa grasped the bow and arrow, and said seriously.

In order to deal with the mutated bullfrogs he encountered along the way, there are very few good arrows left in his hand.This is the result of Ye An starting out first and cleaning up the frog swarm in advance.

Ash and Camille's weapons were also damaged. If they encountered a few more mutated bullfrogs, they would definitely be in a hard fight.

"Come on!"

Camille wrapped a cloth strip around the handle of the knife, and then tied the end of the cloth tightly to his hand. When he noticed another movement on the water surface, he immediately reminded his two companions: "There is movement, be careful!"

Ash and Ova stopped talking, and their bodies moved faster than their brains, and they quickly came to Camille's side.The three of them stood in a triangle to ensure that they were protected by their companions and would not be attacked.

In the blink of an eye, seven or eight mutated frogs appeared in front of the three of them.

Each mutated frog is more than two meters in size and has no obvious scars on its body, but it struggles painfully in the water.The abdomen continued to expand, and suddenly burst at a certain moment, and countless frog eggs were ejected from it, falling into the water and the river bank, making a crackling sound.

A few frog eggs happened to land on Lamir's feet, and he noticed something strange. He immediately grabbed the curious Ash and pulled him away forcefully to avoid contact with these frog eggs.

"Not right!"

The snow season is not over yet, and it is not yet the season for the mutated frogs to lay eggs. These frog eggs are not mature at all, and should not have such a shape and color, let alone cause the death of the mother.

The three of them observed carefully and found that there were thin thread-like worms hidden in the middle of the frog eggs, climbing on the surface of the frog eggs, penetrating the outer membrane that protected the eggs, and then occupying them, coiling and twisting continuously.

This is clearly a parasite.

If schools of fish in the river swallow these frog eggs, the most likely thing to happen is that they become parasitized by these bugs and become their new hosts.

"Don't get close!"

Seeing the appearance of the frog eggs clearly, all three of Camille's scalps felt numb.

Ash rubbed his arms uncontrollably, looked at the mutated frogs floating on the river, remembered the frog eggs that fell in the river, and worried: "So many fell into the river, what should I do?"

Ova shook his head, his face was very ugly.

Camille didn't give an answer, but called the two to gather the frog eggs on the river bank and set them on fire to burn them.

"Be careful, don't touch it."

Those in the water have nothing to do, and those who fall on the shore must be cleaned up, so as not to leave a disaster.

Coincidentally, the trapped frogs also had the same symptoms. The abdomens of female frogs swelled and burst one after another, and large pieces of frog eggs were sprayed down, many of which fell on the strange fish and mutant pythons.

Most of these frog eggs carry parasites, and these tiny bugs all come from the parasites in the mouth of the strange fish.

Aware of this situation, Ye An felt uncomfortable. He found that parasites had crawled out of the frog eggs and were trying to penetrate into the scales of the mutant python. He immediately turned the long knife in his hand and scraped off the insects with the back of the knife.

As more and more mutated frogs exploded in their abdomens, large pieces of frog eggs were scattered, and the situation in the water became more and more serious.

The monitor lizards began to retreat, and their instinct for danger prevented them from approaching this water.The mutated python also took Ye An to swim away quickly, getting rid of the pursuit of the strange fish and returning to the shore.

After Ye An left the water, the previously vicious school of strange fish stopped chasing, suddenly changed their target, and surrounded another group of strange fish.The parasites in the latter's mouth were pulled out and crushed to death by Ye An. At this moment, he was surrounded and bitten by his companions. It was useless to fight back vigorously, and he gradually fell into a disadvantage.

The strange fish with parasites did not kill them, but drove these fellows into the area where the frog eggs were most dense.

What happened next sent chills down Ye An's spine.

The injured monster fish was used as a carrier, and countless parasites crawled out of the frog eggs, scrambling to get into the wounds and mouths of the fish, and the eyes of some fish were not spared.

The parasites compete in their bodies, the winner will live in symbiosis with the strange fish, absorb nutrients through the strange fish, and the loser will be swallowed on the spot.If the strange fish couldn't bear the injury and died on the spot, it would also become a delicacy for the parasite, and even the bones would be gnawed clean.

Ye An finally understood that the reason why this group of strange fish appeared in the dark river was not for spar, but for reproduction!To be more precise, the parasites on them need to rely on mutated frogs to reproduce!

"Suzuran, is there a way?"

There are too many frog eggs in the water, which will inevitably pollute the underground river. Once the organisms in the river are infected with this parasite, it is difficult to get rid of it, and it will not be possible to catch and eat it in the future.

"It's difficult." Lily of the Valley also realized that the problem was serious. She could indeed prepare the medicinal powder to kill parasites, but the water was flowing, which undoubtedly made things more difficult.

"Get rid of the group of strange fish and mutated frogs first." Ye An said in a deep voice.

"How to do it?"

"Bring them to the shore and set them on fire." This is the most effective way Ye An can think of so far.

Leaving the parasites in the water not only does nothing to deal with them, but makes the situation worse.Only by dragging them to the shore together with their hosts and burning them with fire can they be completely wiped out.

Knowing Ye An's intention, Lily of the Valley quickly took out two handfuls of seeds and sprinkled them on the river bank, encouraging the seeds to germinate and grow quickly.

"You will be in danger, it's safe there." Ye An signaled the mutant python to retreat to the vine wall.These parasites are very dangerous to the mutated python, once they are accidentally infected, it may be difficult to get rid of them, so it's better to avoid them.

The mutated python didn't leave immediately, but spit out the letter and tapped Ye An's shoulder.Ye An wiped it with his backhand, touching the place where he was bitten by the parasite before, and his heart shuddered.

"Lily of the valley!"

Ling Lan turned her head and saw Ye An pointing at her wound, she immediately understood and took out a bottle of wound medicine from her body and threw it to him.

Ye An took the medicine bottle and bit it open with his mouth, poured the white medicine powder on the wound, a sharp stabbing pain came, and red blood froth gushed out of the wound.Ye An gritted his teeth and resisted the pain until he found nothing abnormal in the wound, then looked up at the mutant python.

"Look, I'm fine, those things aren't on me."

The mutant python spit out the letter again, expressing a feeling of peace of mind, and then followed Ye An's guidance, slid to the vine wall where Mi Luo and Xiaozhu were hiding, curled up and stopped moving.

Ye An looked up at the circling flock of birds and bats, not allowing them to devour the frog eggs and keeping them as far away as possible.Caution must be exercised in determining whether these parasites are exclusively fish and frog hosts.

"Okay."

Ye An gestured to Ling Lan and handed her a spar at the same time.

The lily of the valley concentrated on growing vines, and a large green wall soon rose on the river bank, with slender or thick vines extending, entangled with each other, entangled the fish and mutant frogs in the water, and dragged the targets to the bank one by one.

Ye An controlled the largest bullfrogs and used them to drive the frogs together and surround the strange fish.

The vitality of the strange fish is extremely tenacious. After leaving the water, it can crawl with its pectoral fins. The fish's mouth is tightly closed to protect the parasites in the mouth.

Ye An used local materials to make a large number of torches from vines.Unable to find a suitable strip of cloth, he directly tore the coat to shreds.However, the coat was soaked and it was difficult to ignite it. It was Milo and Xiaozhu who threw the animal skins wrapped around their bodies to relieve the urgent need.

The made torches were placed side by side, and Ye An looked up at the group of frogs gathered together and the strange fish surrounded by the group of frogs. Obviously, these mutated frogs also realized the danger of the strange fish to themselves, and instinctively turned them Get trapped and don't let them return to the water.

The timing was almost the same, Ye An quickly lit two torches, and threw them at the strange fish in the air.

The body surface of the strange fish is covered with mucus, and it is difficult to ignite the flame when it splashes on it, and it can be extinguished by rubbing a few stones.

Ye An persevered and threw a few more torches in a row. Lily of the Valley cooperated with him in throwing seeds, using the mutated grass to firmly bind the strange fish and the mutated frog with parasites, and drain the mutated grass in the next moment. Moisture ignited the flame, and finally ignited the target.

The flames ignited ragingly, enveloping the strange fish and mutant frogs.

The flames rose rapidly, illuminating the dark river, reflecting red on the river surface covered with blood and mutated frog remains.

The strange fish struggled painfully in the fire, its body was wrapped in flames, but its mouth was always closed tightly.Even so, the high temperature eventually made the parasite unable to survive, and soon turned into coke together with the strange fish.

The firelight by the river pointed out the direction for Xiao Yun. In order to speed up, an ice bridge extended from under his feet, crossing the gravel-strewn river bank, leading directly to the firelight.

When Xiao Yun approached, Ye An immediately sensed, saw the ice bridge extending from the darkness, and saw the figure jumping off the bridge, and a thought flashed through his mind, there is a better way!

As a result, before he could open his mouth, Xiao Yun had already taken action.

Before Xiao Yun landed, he saw the situation in the river, and also found out what Ye An had set on fire.

He had seen strange fish in the water before, and he knew the danger of such fish.Similarly, he also knows what the strange fish is carrying. Once this kind of thing appears, the entire water area will be violated.

Ye An didn't need to ask, he would definitely help.

The long knife slid out of the sheath, making a sound of metal rubbing against each other.

The sharp blade is wedged into the ground, with the blade as the center, the transparent ice spreads in a fan shape, and the white frost flowers cover the plants on the shore, but bypass the burning flames, and the fire reflects the frost, forming a unique beauty .

As the frost spread, the temperature dropped sharply, and the river was covered with ice at an incredible speed.

The ice layer extends downwards, and the strange fish, mutated frogs, floating frog eggs, and even the shellfish and mutated snails hidden at the bottom of the river are all momentarily still, frozen in the crystal clear ice layer, and frozen at the last moment of life.
