—Run faster.

—Don't hit weakly, hit hard.

—Ideally, you could bite through its neck!

...

During this time, whenever it wasn't raining, Jun Qi would take Xu Qiaoqiao to the riverbank or deep in the jungle to teach her some hunting techniques.

Hearing Jun Qi's call, Xu Qiaoqiao scratched her head in slight confusion, looking at the frog hopping away rapidly not far away, jumping into the water.

In just a few seconds, with a "croak," the frog disappeared, leaving only ripples on the water's surface.

Then she turned to look at Jun Qi. Seeing his serious and earnest eyes, Xu Qiaoqiao blinked and, for some reason, felt a little embarrassed. She rubbed her paws on the leaves next to her a few times and then hid behind her back.

"Waaaaah?"

They attempted to use cuteness as a weapon to deceive others.

Jun Qi narrowed his eyes slightly. Seeing the little guy's hesitant and awkward manner, he knew what the little guy was thinking. A hint of helplessness flashed in his green eyes.

The two had spent less than two months together, but Jun Qi found that he could accurately understand the meaning behind the little guy's actions, something he had initially found puzzling.

However, as they spent more and more time together, Jun Qi gradually overlooked this point.

"Waaah..." Xu Qiaoqiao saw Jun Qi like this and knew that he was thinking about something. Could it be that he was thinking about how to teach her next?

Xu Qiaoqiao tilted her head, slowly crawled towards Jun Qi, and then poked his calf.

"Chirp chirp." Jun Qi called out and looked down to see the little guy's bright eyes staring at him. The moment their eyes met, Xu Qiaoqiao let out a happy "ooh" and laughed.

Then, it rubbed its face against the big cat's fur; the little guy looked so soft and fluffy, it even had a hint of trying to please.

Junjun, Junjun, don't be angry. We don't speak the same language. Being a teacher is not an easy job. You have to be patient, okay?

Jun Qi didn't understand the meaning behind Xu Qiaoqiao's whimpering at all, but he could tell that the little one was comforting him.

But... I'm not angry.

How could I be angry with you?

Jun Qi lowered his head and licked Xu Qiaoqiao's ear, gently grinding it with his teeth. He didn't use much force, just like tickling her.

Xu Qiaoqiao squinted her eyes happily at Jun Qi's touch, and then for the rest of the day, the matter of teaching Xu Qiaoqiao how to hunt was temporarily put aside.

To be honest, this kind of scene has been happening frequently these past few days. Jun Qi is single-mindedly trying to teach Xu Qiaoqiao some hunting skills, and fortunately, Qiaoqiao is also willing to do so.

So at the beginning, both sides cooperated very well. Although they couldn't communicate in the same language, they worked very hard. But gradually, due to the difference in species and the teacher's problem with some cognitive aspects, the task became very difficult.

The teacher, in particular, was quite patient, but gradually, as the students made more and more mistakes and failed to grasp the key points, he became somewhat irritable.

She wished she could take her place and kill the prey herself.

The same applies to students. Even after watching the teacher's demonstration, although the movements are simple, they always fall short when they try to do it themselves. Due to differences in body shape and the amount of force used, this student always fails when imitating the teacher's movements.

However, it is clear that Jun Qi has not given up on this matter.

He had the bag that Xu Qiaoqiao had picked up tied to his body, which contained today's dinner. Xu Qiaoqiao was lying steadily on the big cat's back, near its neck.

In this area, Xu Qiaoqiao could clearly feel the powerful and well-developed muscles of the big cat beneath her, which seemed to be throbbing and were very firm without even looking at it.

This indicates that the jaguar was physically strong and was probably one of the best among its kind.

After they returned to camp and had dinner, they resumed their normal patrol. Dinner was a bit early, as the sun hadn't completely set yet.

The next day, the weather turned bad, and it rained all day, soaking the entire rainforest. The paths were muddy, and the air felt damp and sticky.

Xu Qiaoqiao disliked this time of year; the air was stuffy and humid, making her feel heavy and gloomy. Fortunately, otters have fine, dense fur that is heat-resistant and rain-proof, so this season didn't have much of an impact on Xu Qiaoqiao's health.

When it rains, it's also the time when Xu Qiaoqiao can slack off.

After spending two months together, Xu Qiaoqiao had gained a better understanding of Jun Qi.

For example, jaguars are felines; they can climb trees, and they are quite skilled at it. When they have nothing to do, they usually rest in the safe areas of the trees.

Jun Qi's territory also has safe zones, but for him, climbing trees or not doesn't matter, since he can rest anywhere anyway.

That was in the middle of last month. Five consecutive days of rain caused the Amazon River to rise significantly, as did other winding waterways. The rising water levels flooded the surrounding land like a flood.

During those few days, Jun Qi probably felt that sleeping in the camp was not safe, so he picked up Xu Qiaoqiao and started climbing trees. He chose a big tree with thick branches and lush foliage, and there was no scent of other animals.

Xu Qiaoqiao sniffed the air around her, and once she felt safe, she gently placed the little guy on a stable branch under her paws.

Xu Qiaoqiao stared blankly at Jun Qi's actions. It wasn't until the entire otter was perched on the branch that she realized what was happening. She wiggled her feet a few times and looked up at Jun Qi.

After doing all that, the guy lazily lay down on the branch, his hind legs and tail drooping down naturally, with the tip of his tail swaying back and forth. He squinted his eyes, seemingly looking at something, looking completely carefree.

This place is clearly a very safe place for Jun Qi.

"Waaaaah?" Why are we suddenly talking about climbing trees?

Xu Qiaoqiao slowly moved towards Jun Qi, occasionally having to be mindful of her posture. What if she exerted too much force or slipped and fell? She estimated that the two of them were about four or five meters off the ground.

Jun Qi did not answer Xu Qiaoqiao's question, but nature soon provided the answer.
