The group of people outside were slowly navigating their small boat back the way they came. Their previous position was actually quite dangerous; they were right around the jaguar. If they had gone any further, the jaguar would have detected their presence.

Over the past few days, they've scouted the location and have a pretty good idea of ​​the jaguar's activity patterns. If it weren't for the fact that the trees here are growing too lushly, making it impossible to use a drone to film, they could have finished this work long ago.

Buck began preparing his tools, bringing a wide variety of items including poison, ropes, lassos, traps, animal snares, illegally obtained anesthetic drugs, crossbows, and many other miscellaneous items.

“Hey, Buck, I think poison is a good option, quick and easy,” suggested the man with a thick beard.

Previously, their main tool in Indonesia was this. Within a month, five Sumatran tigers were poisoned, and their teeth, skulls, and glossy fur were sold for a lot of money.

Moreover, since poison is used and there are no wounds on the body, the skin will be more intact when it is peeled off.

Tiger meat also fetches a good price. Unlike some common meats, tiger meat is sold for quite a bit, perhaps out of curiosity.

So now, he felt that using poison would be better, and since the jaguar was so wary, it would be easier to set a trap with poison.

They have decided to start their operation tomorrow. Jaguars are most active at dusk, when they come out to hunt, which greatly increases their chances of catching them.

Buck looked at the bottle of poison, thinking about his companion's words, and nodded slightly. Seemingly feeling that it wasn't enough, he picked up the anesthetic supplies and lasso next to him, and then began to plan a route with his companions, leaving some locations for traps.

Xu Qiaoqiao lay listlessly in the cage, her fluffy tail drooping listlessly, occasionally twitching a few times. Listening to the conversation of these people, she felt extremely disgusted and couldn't help but roll her eyes.

They're all lawless thugs! Poachers, die!!!

There was no way I could stay calm. If I weren't still a kid, I would have already started to fight and sent them all to jail!

In the past few days, Xu Qiaoqiao has heard them talk about their achievements at least eight times. They spoke with a proud tone, showing off how much money they made, and even described in detail the actions and reactions of the animals before they died.

No, no, no, the more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Xu Qiaoqiao raised her head slightly and sighed regretfully. There was nothing she could change in the current situation. However, according to what those people were saying, it seemed that they were going to sell her to some animal-themed cafe.

That sounds glamorous, but it's different from cats and dogs. Otter pups are kept in transparent glass cages.

Xu Qiaoqiao had seen some pictures before of those poor otter pups kept in glass cages, subjected to the gaze of humans every day, starving, and forced to beg for food through small holes in the glass windows.

Waaah... Thinking about it this way, it's kind of tragic.

After all, for Xu Qiaoqiao, the most unbearable thing is not having enough to eat.

It feels so bad to be hungry.

Xu Qiaoqiao had considered escaping before, but she was too young and had no strength to move. In addition, there were people watching her and a lock on the cage, so she had no chance to escape.

"Waaaaah~"

She made some noises unintentionally. At that moment, the small window on the cage was opened, and some small fish and shrimp were brought in. Xu Qiaoqiao looked up and sniffed them. They seemed quite fresh, probably just caught from the water, since they were on a boat now.

A full stomach makes for a good work environment.

This amount of food was enough to keep her from starving to death.

Watching the little guy slowly eat his food, Buck nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad, not bad: Little guy, you have to grow up well. After we catch that jaguar, you'll have a companion."

Xu Qiaoqiao: "..."

Get away from me!

"Waaaaah."

After finishing the fish and shrimp, she licked her paws and even licked the crumbs from her mouth. Listening to what Buck was saying outside, she made a "tsk" sound from her nostrils, turned her head away, and didn't want to look at him anymore.

"Oh, so you've got a temper, huh?" Buck chuckled a few times before looking away.

Before we knew it, darkness had fallen. At night, the rainforest seemed to become even more terrifying, a vast expanse of black. When the wind blew, the leaves rustled and cast large shadows in the hazy moonlight.

Xu Qiaoqiao was still awake. She blinked a few times, climbed onto the bars of the cage, and looked at the sky outside. Her tail swayed behind her. She couldn't sleep.

The cage was locked, and the key was clipped to the belt of the man named Buck, out of her reach.

"Ugh." Xu Qiaoqiao sighed, looking at the stars outside. The sky was as black as if ink had been splashed on it. She wondered where Junjun was. Could he be a little otter? Or some other animal?

Xu Qiaoqiao had thought about these questions many times. She never expected that the wish she had in the last few seconds of her previous life would not be fulfilled. The first person she saw was not Junjun at all.

Her gaze followed down, and a slight feeling of grief and indignation welled up inside her. The first thing she saw was this burly man with a thick beard!

hateful.

She hates poachers the most.

Junjun, where are you? If I get sold, I'll go hungry. Are we going to meet again in some animal-themed cafe?
