"Waaah." When Xu Qiaoqiao woke up, she found that there was only one person on the ship. He was still fast asleep, and the key was on the table next to her. Buck and his other companions had obviously left.

There was also a bowl inside the cage, containing some small fish and shrimp, more than usual.

Xu Qiaoqiao blinked. She looked at the human who was still sleeping and guessed that he was just trying to be lazy, otherwise he wouldn't have released so many animals at once. It seems he really doesn't know how to raise animals.

When she woke up, the sun outside was already showing signs of decline. It seemed she had slept through the morning. Judging from the sky, it would probably get dark soon, and the sunlight was starting to turn orange. Dusk was just around the corner.

Should we run away?

The thought popped into her head again. Xu Qiaoqiao slowly ate her late breakfast. Now was the best time. She remembered clearly the human guarding her; he was the one who snored the loudest at night.

They're sleeping so soundly, you couldn't wake them up even if it was thunder, so now is the perfect time to escape.

Moreover, because Xu Qiaoqiao had always appeared lazy and listless, not liking to move, but not sick, these actions greatly deceived the humans. Therefore, at this moment, their focus was on the jaguar they hadn't yet obtained, rather than her.

Xu Qiaoqiao looked at the small bucket on the ground, which was full of small fish and shrimp. She could eat her fill first and then leave.

Otters are animals that can live in water, so they aren't afraid of drowning. After thinking for five seconds, Xu Qiaoqiao made her decision. She believed in herself in the wild; having lived through so many worlds, she was sure she could survive.

Moreover, it's more comfortable to be outdoors.

Although not among the most formidable animals, otters are still quite powerful and capable fighters, as long as they can grow up successfully.

After thinking it over, Xu Qiaoqiao licked her lips, then looked at the location of the key. She first tried to hook it with her tail. She had to be extra careful when moving the key. Although the human was sleeping soundly, it was almost afternoon, and she couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't wake him up.

After getting the key and unlocking the door, Xu Qiaoqiao carefully climbed out and went straight to the food. After filling her stomach, she secretly looked up at the human guarding her.

Hmm, very good, still not awake.

Xu Qiaoqiao clapped her paws happily, then slowly climbed out of the boat. Feeling the humid air outside, she couldn't help but let out a happy cry. Ah, it's the feeling of freedom! After being locked in a cage by humans for more than a month, she realized that without comparison, she wouldn't have this feeling.

Listening to the rushing river outside, carrying a slight chill, Xu Qiaoqiao squinted her eyes with pleasure. Sure enough, this decision was not wrong.

She took a few more steps forward, slowly glided over, and, touching the edge of the boat, fell into the water with a splash.

Nature, freedom, here I come!

...

Meanwhile, the jaguar, which was out foraging, sensed these unfamiliar presences and immediately became alert, its eyes scanning its surroundings with a sharp and piercing gaze.

There are still some clueless people causing trouble on my turf.

Let's see how he teaches them a lesson when he gets caught!

"Chirp!"

The jaguar let out a deep growl, licked its paws, and stared ahead with a hint of mockery in its green eyes. It hunched its back and slowly walked forward.

Regardless, they needed to fill their stomachs, and this was his territory; there was no reason for him to be afraid and hide. The intruders had to be driven out of his territory, and if they didn't listen...

If the other party doesn't listen, then there's only one way to do it.

Eat him!

The jaguar narrowed its eyes slightly and then walked towards the river, but it walked more carefully and slower than before.

After taking a few steps, it raised its head and sniffed the air several times. The unfamiliar scent was getting stronger and stronger. No good. The jaguar slowly lowered its head, its mood becoming much more agitated.

These inconsiderate creatures are disturbing his hunting and feeding.

hateful!

The jaguar roared angrily, but remained cautious as it needed to pinpoint the intruders' location.

As time slowly passed, the sun gradually sank, and the twilight light tinted the clouds on the horizon. However, the light soon dissipated, and the sky gradually darkened, making the view in front of us even more dim.

However, this was no problem for the jaguar. The poison that Buck had laid earlier was completely ineffective. It just sniffed around a few times and frowned, clearly disgusted by the smell.

He grinned and walked away from the place.

Then, just like before, he found other traps, but didn't fall for them. Sniffing the scent left on the traps, the jaguar raised its head and sniffed the air several times. Using the faint scent left in the air, it quickly located the intruder's position.

He started running wildly in that direction.

Run at full speed.

At night, a light rain began to fall, making the ground even muddier.

"Buck, it seems we've failed." The man with a thick beard said regretfully, clearly angry and unhappy. He looked at the jaguar, which he thought was all his for the taking, but it turned out that they had all seen through his plan.

"f*ck!"

Buck's expression was also very serious. When he saw the jaguar running towards him, he began to panic: "Oh no, the jaguar has spotted us! Run!"

With that, they turned and ran away; they were now not far from the small boat.

What?

His companions were clearly still in shock. At that moment, a cool breeze blew in, giving them goosebumps and a chill that ran from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.

"Run!"

This is human instinct when danger is approaching.

Regardless of whether they would be caught, their priority was to get back to the ship; it seemed their hunt had undoubtedly failed.

A minute later, at the spot where they had just stood, the jaguar slowed down, sniffed for a few seconds, the rain obscuring the scent. The jaguar circled the spot a few times, clearly not in a good mood.

Moreover, the wind carried the scent in all directions, and the jaguar was unsure which direction was correct, so it hesitated in place for a while before finally running towards this location.
