Ye An

The heavy rain poured down, and the streams and rivers on the island swelled again, rushing into the pool, bringing down the crooked wooden frame, and smashing it on the bluestone at the bottom of the pool.

The water flows down along the edge of the bluestone, torn into several small streams, and then merged into a white line, like a hanging waterfall.

Ye An and Ling Lan walked to the exit, and found that the water flow of the waterfall was getting bigger and bigger, and the rope was caught in the water, and they couldn't hold on to it at all.

"I come."

Lily of the Valley took out two seeds, and with the injection of energy, green thin vines broke out of their shells and grew rapidly, quickly growing into two vines several meters long.The twigs protruded from the vines, grasping the rock wall like life, and then intertwined with each other to form a long green ladder leading to the top of the pool.

"Go from here."

Lily of the Valley took out several seeds. Unlike the vines that formed long ladders, these seeds formed an umbrella shape, and the leaves were folded and covered, which could effectively isolate the rainwater.

"Tie this to your body."

Lily of the Valley demonstrated to Ye An that the umbrella-shaped plant was placed on her shoulders, and long beards quickly grew from the roots, intertwined and twisted into green ropes, which were tightly tied around Lily of the Valley's waist, without hindering her movement at all.

Ye An did the same, and found that the place where the roots were entwined was faintly hot, with subtle energy flowing.

Facing Ye An's surprised eyes, Ling Lan explained: "I cultivated these recently. I planted them in caves and used crystals to provide energy. The seeds produced will naturally carry some."

"Can it be planted in large quantities?" Ye An asked.

"Not yet." Lily of the Valley shook her head and said realistically, "Only one of the ten plants can mutate, and some of the mutated seeds cannot germinate."

While the two were talking, there was thunder above their heads, and the water flow of the waterfall suddenly increased.

Bai Lian fell into the ground, covered the jagged rocks, rushed into the dark river, and merged into the raging river.

"After coming back this time, move to Rock Mountain as soon as possible." Ye An looked at the rushing river and said worriedly, "This year's rainy season is unusual, I am worried that the ground will flood."

Lily of the valley nodded.

She also has the same worry, even if Ye An doesn't mention it, she will make preparations in advance.These newly planted mutated plants are all designed to deal with floods.

The two followed the long ladder to the top of the pool, and found that the rope wrapped around the bluestone had been loosened, all the knots had been untied, and one end of the rope was hanging on the rock.If they climb up by holding on to the rope, instead of being able to take advantage of the strength, they will fall on the way up.

"fortunately."

Ye An pushed the green umbrella above his head, and after landing on the shore, he turned around and extended his hand to Lily of the Valley.

"No need." Ling Lan propped her hands on the edge of the pool, her feet stepped on the rope ladder, she jumped up easily without any external force.

It was getting late, and the two of them didn't intend to waste time on the road, they chose to take a shortcut through the forest and walk through the quagmire that almost trapped Ye An.

With lily of the valley, it is easy to form a rope net and a rope bridge above the muddy pond.After observing the environment, she chose the quicker and more convenient method, urging vines to go around the top of the tree, holding the vines with Ye An, and swinging through the quagmire with hidden traps.

After the two landed, the quagmire began to surge, and a large group of insects wrapped in mud appeared.

Ye An let go of the vine, took out a piece of crystallized snapping turtle shell from the animal skin bag, and threw it into the center of the quagmire.The worms hiding in the pool swarmed up and instantly submerged the snapping turtle shell.

Crossing the quagmire, the two continued to move forward, and found that a large number of mutated mushrooms grew in the rain, mostly gray and white, and the rest were colorful, and some species grew on trees, the small ones were like jujube pits, and the big ones were comparable to Ye An's fist.

There was a rustling sound from the mushroom bushes, and without hesitation, Ye An took out three snapping turtle shells and threw them in different directions.

Ling Lan was surprised to see that the previously dark woodland became lively in an instant, and all kinds of insects crawled out from under the mushrooms, scrambling to rush to the snapping tortoise shell, wrapping the snapping tortoise shell layer by layer.

What surprised her was that although there were many bugs, they were still fighting with each other, but there was no large-scale fighting, only a few conflicts occurred, and they were quickly run over by the bugs and mixed into the soil in pieces.

A large piece of spider silk hangs from the tree, and a colorful spider is attached to each spider silk.

These spiders are very beautiful in color, especially eye-catching in the dark dense forest, but they also symbolize danger, and even the firebirds are unwilling to prey on them.

The road ahead of the two of them was blocked by spider silk, and long white threads hung from the branches. It was by no means so easy to pass through.

"Is there a way?" Ye An tried to communicate with the spider, but there was no positive feedback, only malice and killing came.Reluctantly withdrawing his will, his eyes turned to Lily of the Valley.

"Let me try."

Lily of the valley opened the animal skin bag and took out several seeds.When Ye An thought she would use plants to drive away the spiders, she was wrapped in vines that grew out, and in the blink of an eye, she found herself in a green ball.

"Lily of the valley?" Ye An looked at Lily of the valley through the gap of the ball, "What is this?"

"The way to escape." Ling Lan said concisely, and she was also in the ball at the moment.

"Get out?"

"Go this way."

After the words fell, Lily of the Valley began to move in the ball. The green ball moved slowly, then accelerated in the middle, jumping and rolling in the forest, rushing towards the long road covered with spider silk.

The spider silk sticks to the sphere and is extremely tough, comparable to steel wires.The colorful spider continued to spin silk, trying to pull up the rolling sphere and wrap it with spider silk.

Unexpectedly, jagged leaves suddenly appeared on the surface of the sphere, and shell-shaped flowers bloomed in the leaves.The flowers keep expanding, and the edges are covered with triangular spikes. If any spider dares to approach, they will be captured by the flowers and become the nourishment of the plants.

The serrated blades wave in the wind, easily cutting the spider silk.The ball made of vines landed on the ground and continued to roll forward.

After witnessing the whole process, Ye An understood what he should do.Use hands and feet together to make the ball roll forward.During the process, I was accidentally attacked by spiders. They were all scared and escaped, and quickly passed through this long road full of traps.

Due to too many spider silk breaks, some spiders fell to the ground, and their slender limbs were wrapped in mud, making it very difficult to move.

A group of poisonous insects are eyeing these spiders.

In the past, spiders hung from trees, protected by silk and colonies, and they were hard to come by.Now that it has landed on the ground, it is natural not to miss the opportunity.As for the poison on the spiders, they not only don't care, but rather like it.Trouble for birds is a delicacy that cannot be found.

The colorful spider moved forward with difficulty, trying to climb the nearby pine wood.A shadow suddenly shrouded the top of his head, and before he had time to resist, the centipede's toxin had been injected into his body, his abdomen was penetrated by the fangs, and he lost all his ability to resist, and was easily dragged away by the centipede's surprise attack.

Ye An and Ling Lan walked through the forest without knowing what was going on behind them.

The ball of vines kept rolling, taking them all the way out of the dense forest, and barely stopped when they encountered rocks washed by the rain.

The vines gradually loosened, coiled around the ground like long ropes, and embedded in the cracks in the rocks.

Ye An stepped out of the ball, shaking his head, still a little dizzy.

Lily of the Valley's condition was much better than him, she took out a wooden bottle and threw it over, motioning Ye An to sniff it under her nose.

The cork was opened, and a cool smell rushed into the nostrils. Ye An couldn't help but sneezed, rubbed his nose, and felt refreshed.

After leaving the dense forest, except for the torrential rain, there is no obstacle ahead.

Ye An and Ling Lan came to the camp despite the wind and rain, and Mu Mian led people to welcome them out quickly. Gerrard and the Jincheng people were no exception, and they all followed the team.

"It's raining too much, let's go back to the tent first!" Ye An said to everyone.

Standing beside Ye An, Lily of Lily felt inexplicably familiar when she saw Gerald in the crowd, especially his striking gray hair.Tracing back the memory, turning to a certain page, the footsteps suddenly stopped, and he reached out and pulled La Ye'an.

"What?" Ye An looked at Lily of the Valley.

"That gray-haired man is from Jincheng?" Ling Lan asked.

"Things are a bit complicated, but he is now in charge of Jincheng." Ye An replied.

"His name is Gerald?"

"Correct."

Ling Lan paused, her expression suddenly became a little complicated, but it didn't seem like she was worried, but more like some kind of... Can't help laughing?

Ye An looked at Ling Lan suspiciously, who leaned close to his ear, and said in a low voice, "The merchant city where I lived before, the city lord Qi Luo has a hobby of collecting beautiful and handsome men."

Hearing Qi Luo's name, Ye An couldn't help being stunned.

He hadn't thought of the mutant who was so powerful that he was driven into a desperate situation for a long time.Like the ruined merchant city, with the rapid passage of time, memories become blurred and distant.

Seeing Ye An's dazed expression, Lily Lan got it wrong, and continued: "Back when Qiluo was powerful, Gerald followed the caravan to the Merchant City and was favored by Qiluo. But it's different from before. Not only did Qi Luo not get what she wanted, but she suffered a big loss. It took a lot of effort to suppress the matter."

Thinking of what happened back then, Ling Lan still finds it unbelievable, after all, there are not many things and people that can make Qi Luo suffer.

After listening to Lily of the Valley's narration, Ye An subconsciously turned his gaze to Gerald.The latter didn't know Lily of the Valley, and faced Ye An's strange gaze, he couldn't help feeling puzzled.
