Ye An

Chapter 123 Trouble on the Island

The dogs passed through the dense forest and stopped at the foot of the rocky mountain one after another.

Ye An jumped off the sled, untied the rope around the dog's neck, and said with a smile, "Go."

The head dog rubbed against Ye An's leg and barked loudly.

The call was quickly answered, and the left-behind mutated dogs rushed out of the cave one after another upon hearing the call, joined their companions happily, and threw themselves together to play in the snow.

After reuniting after a long absence, the members of the dog group were very excited, and a large amount of snow was thrown up during the fight, and Ye An was also splashed a lot.The coolness slipped down his neck, but he wasn't annoyed at all. Instead, he watched the dogs fight in a good mood, and his heart was filled with the joy of going home. .

When he left, he was only a puppy the size of a palm, and his body size increased significantly. His teeth became as sharp as his parents. He still kept the habit of a cub. He rolled on the snow while barking, and soon he was covered in snow slag. .

The two rolled to Ye An's feet, wagging their tails and acting like a baby to him.

Ye An bent down and grabbed the back of a mutant dog's neck, and patted its head.Seeing this scene, the other half-grown puppies wanted to pounce on Ye An, but they were bitten or pushed down by the elders. They were not allowed to be naughty, and when they had played enough, they were brought back to the cave and guarded at the entrance of the cave to prevent them from coming out.

Ye An looked into the cave, and found that the entrance of the cave was covered with green vines, firmly clinging to the rock wall, forming a natural barrier. The gap left was only for a mutant dog to pass through, which could not only block the cold wind, but also ensure the safety of the cubs .

The small river that meanders under the rocky mountain has stopped flowing, and the river channel is completely covered with ice and snow, and its original appearance cannot be seen.Only the hot springs at the bottom of the mountain are flowing to keep the cave warm.

After the mutated dogs stopped fighting, Ye An took down several deer legs from the sled, each of which was very fresh, frozen by the cold wind, with bright red blood on the surface.

The deer leg was handed over to the head dog to divide. Ye An picked up the bag containing the queen ant spar and two bags of seeds, ready to go to the underground cave.The rest of the cargo is guarded by the dog pack, so there should be no problem.

There are several bluestones piled up beside the pool, and the bottom is frozen by ice, covering the sloping ice layer, which is integrated with the ground.There are dents chiseled on the surface of the bluestone, and three two-finger-thick ropes are wrapped around it. A bracket is erected beside the rope, and a pulley is hung under the bracket.

Ye An walked closer and found that unlike when he left, each rope was wrapped with finger-thick vines, which made the rope stronger and would not loosen or break when transporting heavy objects.

Due to the cold weather, the ropes and vines were covered with a layer of crushed ice. Some were very smooth, making it difficult to grasp, and some had protruding tips, which looked abnormally sharp.

Ye An wrapped the animal skin around his palm, tied a rope around his body, and carefully slid down the rock wall, crossing the bluestone laid under the pool, and began to fall rapidly.

The rope was passed around the pulley, and the crushed snow and ice debris were further crushed and creaked.

As it continued to fall, the cold wind gradually went away and the temperature began to rise.Only three meters away from the bottom of the cave, Ye An stepped onto the rock wall with both feet, took advantage of his strength to leap forward, and landed firmly on the ground.

The temperature in the cave was obviously higher than the ground, Ye An unwrapped the animal skin wrapped around his palm, shook off the ice slag on it, and by the way also tore off the animal skin wrapped around his head.

Walking along the river, you can hear the sound of gurgling water in your ears, the underground river is constantly rushing, and there are large shadows under the water, which are fish schools living in the river.

Mantis shrimp and lizards were nowhere to be seen, presumably hiding on the bottom and behind rocks until hunting.

When the sound of flapping wings came, Ye Anxun looked around and found a group of strange mutant birds.

The feathers of these mutated birds are gray-brown, with only a long colorful feather hanging from the tail, which is very eye-catching in the dark underground.

The flock of birds flew close to Ye An, their neck feathers raised, clearly showing hostility.

Ye An raised his eyebrows and looked at the group of little guys who broke into his house but turned against the guests. He was about to find the leader and assimilate, when suddenly there was a sharp cry from behind.

The returning birds reunited with the group members who stayed on the island. Knowing that there was such a group of uninvited guests in the territory, they were naturally furious.Under the leadership of the group members, they came underground like a gust of wind, ready to teach this group of outsiders a lesson.

Sensing the plan of the flock of birds, Ye An stepped back directly.

No matter in terms of group size or combat effectiveness, Firebird has obvious advantages, and the chance of winning is more than [-]%.However, Ye An also reminded the birds that it is best not to kill them. It may be useful to keep this group of outsiders.

The firebird twittered loudly, conveying the emotion at the moment.

Knowing that the other party understood what he meant, Ye An didn't stay long, gave way to both sides, and continued to walk deep into the passage.

Following the familiar road to the bottom of the rock wall, Ye An climbed neatly with the spar on his back. During the process, he encountered several lizards lying on the rock wall, and two black-browed snakes nearly two meters long.

All the bony spurs on the lizard's neck stood up, and it quickly approached the black-browed snake.

The black-browed snake didn't react too much, as if it was not facing a crisis, it slid slowly through the gap between the rock walls, and vomited a letter to Ye An twice, as if trying to identify him.

The black-browed snake is non-venomous, but Ye An couldn't immediately determine the mutated population.But with the experience of getting along with the mutant python, he can easily assimilate the other party.

Through assimilation, Ye An knew that the reason why these two snakes appeared here was really bad luck.

The place they chose to hibernate is not very good, it is a tree stump buried under the snow.During the deep sleep, unexpectedly, the dark river suddenly changed its course, rolled up the tree stumps, and almost drowned them.

When Ye An saw them, the two black-browed snakes had just swam out of the dark river, unable to recover their body temperature, and unable to move freely. Then they were surrounded by mutant lizards, their lives were at stake, and they moved slowly.

Ye An's appearance not only surprised the black-browed snake, but also the mutant lizard.Knowing that there was a fierce predator in front of it, the mutated lizard gave up hunting and quickly fled to the depths of the rock wall, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

The black-browed snakes also wanted to escape, but their physical conditions limited their speed. Even with all their strength, they could only move on the rock wall in slow motion.

Ye An had no intention of catching these two black-browed snakes, and learned their habits through assimilation. After confirming that they were not poisonous, he directly passed them and climbed to a higher cave.

The black-browed snake stayed where it was, and waited until Ye An walked away before slowly sliding into the crevice of the rock. Judging from the direction it was heading, it was the place where the bat swarm raised its cubs.

Ye An quickly walked through the cave, crossed the suspended stone bridge, and came to the cave where Linglan and Uncle Wang lived.

The bluestone at the entrance of the cave is half covered, and a square door curtain woven of vines and mutated grass hangs down, and the warm firelight shines through the gap.

Ye An quickly stepped forward, opened the door curtain, and a warm breath rushed towards him. He was about to say "I'm back", but instead of three smiling faces, he was greeted by Lily of the Valley brandishing a stick, and chasing and intercepting him in the cave. Uncle and grandson of the king.

"What's going on?" Ye An was stunned, not understanding what happened.

"Quick, stop it!" Lily of the Valley yelled, holding a wooden stick and rushing towards Ye An.

When his ankle felt warm and smooth, Ye An kicked it out almost instinctively.

Accompanied by a humming sound, a round, chubby little beast was kicked out by him, and hit the rock wall with a bang. After landing, it was still holding a spar firmly, and stood up as if nothing had happened, humming Keep running.

Before it could take a few steps, tough vines flew out from the rock wall, and under the pull of the lily of the valley, it tangled up tightly and hung upside down in the air.

"Finally caught!" Lily Lan exhaled while holding the wooden stick, wiped the sweat off her forehead with her backhand, saw Ye An standing at the entrance of the cave, and smiled, "You're back, is the journey going well?"

Ye An nodded, pointed at the little beast hanging upside down in the air, and asked, "What's going on?"

"Don't mention it." Lily of the Valley used vines to sweep away the spar held by the little beast, ignoring the other's angry cries, approached the snapping tortoise shell, spliced ​​the spar on the missing part, and signaled Ye An to look at it for herself.

The spar and the tortoise shell are completely assembled, and no defects can be seen.Ye An couldn't help showing surprise, he couldn't remove a piece of snapping turtle's carapace, how did this little beast do it?

"Nawk." Lily of the Valley poked the fat guy who was still humming with a wooden stick, raised its head, and motioned Ye An to look at its teeth, "This guy is digging holes in the ground. It's not that Xiaozhu found something wrong, but It ran away with the spar!"

Ling Lan became more and more angry as she talked, and stomped her foot hard.

"It digs a hole below, and the energy of the spar overflows. If you don't want to block it, it will cause big trouble sooner or later!"

Ye An approached the little beast and looked at it expressionlessly.If he's not mistaken, this should be a bamboo rat?If Lily of the Valley's conjecture is true, then there would be an explanation for the appearance of the mutated frog and the bone fish.

The Bamboo Rat didn't seem to be afraid of Lily of the Valley, but was very afraid of Ye An's aura. As Ye An approached, the chirping stopped abruptly, its chubby body curled up, its little paws clinging to its head, the same as before. There is a world of difference.

Looking at the teeth and claws of the bamboo rat, and then at the snapped tortoise shell that had been gnawed off, Ye An rubbed his chin with one hand, and suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, showing a slight smile.

Facing Ye An like this, the bamboo rat was terrified, and out of biological instinct, it trembled even more, like a leaf falling in the wind.
