Because both of them were wearing leg wraps and arm sleeves, they were able to walk much faster.

After all, this thing was prepared for traveling quickly.

In the wild, as long as you can avoid the dangers under your feet, your chances of survival will greatly increase.

The three-layered wild boar hide is so thick that, apart from large predators, small snakes and insects simply cannot bite it open in a short time.

The two then shared their experiences and takeaways from the day.

Ye Feng was very satisfied with Qi Xiaojie's work performance and praised him repeatedly.

And so, the two chatted for a while, and before they knew it, they had left the first forest and entered the second.

The beast with glowing green eyes followed closely behind the two.

It's easy to tell from its silent gait and the whiskers around its mouth...

Who else could it be but a jaguar?

This place is a slope, which is distinctly different from other places.

It might be due to the soil quality...

Some root plants and weeds, as well as many eucalyptus trees, coexist here.

Where fallen leaves and withered branches used to be everywhere, most of them are now covered by green plants.

As a result, many birds also live here…

When Ye Feng passed by here this morning, he also spotted several winged parrots.

This bird is very particular about its environment; the fact that it can build its nest here indicates that the resources here are very abundant.

He even plans to come here to collect bird eggs to eat whenever he has free time...

Before the two had gone far, they suddenly heard the sound of flapping wings behind them.

The two were startled and immediately stopped in their tracks…

Ye Feng quickly shone his flashlight on the big tree behind him...

Several parrots were flying back and forth among the trees, chirping rapidly.

"Brother Feng, Wh...what's wrong?"

Ye Feng looked around seriously and realized that something was wrong.

"It seems like something is following us. And it's something quite powerful."

"ah!?"

Qi Xiaojie knew that Ye Feng wouldn't make such a joke at this time.

He quickly pulled a stone from his pocket and nervously examined it back and forth…

"Brother Feng, are you...are you...sure?"

Ye Feng paused slightly, his expression still serious.

He knew that animals' senses were several times more acute than humans', and having lived here for so long, they were often better able to sense danger.

And since nighttime is supposed to be the parrots' resting time, why did they suddenly start squawking all at once?

"Did you hear the parrots' calls? They're harsh and frequent; it's a clear sign of panic."

"Then...could it be...that they're...afraid of us?"

Ye Feng shook his head without hesitation…

"Impossible, we've been in this forest for quite some time now."

They wouldn't wait until now to start calling.

At this point, he glanced at the big tree where the parrots were, and had already guessed most of it.

"This tree is at least 20 meters tall, and the snake couldn't possibly climb it."

In this land, only felines are capable of hunting them.

Upon hearing this, Qi Xiaojie raised an eyebrow…

"American...jaguar?"

"It could also be a cougar..."

As he spoke, Ye Feng quickly took out the scales and skin of the arapaima from his bag.

He knew that felines were excellent at hiding, fast, and liked to attack from behind.

The night is their domain, and the range illuminated by a flashlight is limited.

Finding and successfully shooting this big cat is virtually impossible.

My vision is so limited that all I can do now is protect my back and try to walk as fast as I can.

"That guy must have smelled the blood in our backpacks, and he's definitely targeting us."

"Hurry up, we'll be safe once we reach the camp."

After saying that, the two of them each held one corner of the fish's scales, which covered their heads and backs.

It felt like being covered with a blanket.

This way, there's no need to worry about threats from behind.

Ye Feng was well aware of the nocturnal attack methods of felines; they were all top-tier killers.

Once they have locked onto their prey, they often pounce on it from behind and lock its throat.

The raid is lightning fast, carried out in one swift motion, and usually takes no more than 3 seconds.

Both of them quickened their pace, their hearts pounding in their throats.

If it were daytime, Ye Feng wouldn't be so flustered.

Instead, they would immediately draw their bows and arrows and launch an attack.

With a compound bow in hand, he was not afraid of any wild beasts.

But once night falls, the relationship between hunter and prey is completely reversed.

Felines have six times the night vision of humans, four times the reaction time, and an even more astonishingly strong sense of smell, more than 100 times greater.

It also has sharp teeth and claws that can easily penetrate the hide of a wild boar, and lightning-fast speed.

In other words, the night is like daytime for big cats, just like daytime for humans.

Given such a disparity in strength, retreat is the only option.

The two walked briskly, and could faintly hear rustling sounds coming from the bushes behind them.

Clearly, the big cat hadn't given up on following them.

"Feng...Brother Feng, that guy...has been...following...us, but not attacking...what...is...it trying to...do...he/she?"

Qi Xiaojie looked embarrassed, his voice trembling slightly. He had never faced such a large, ferocious beast before.

Most importantly, his slinging skills were completely ineffective against this big cat.

Even if it manages to hit, it won't cause any damage.

Ye Feng strode along, his eyes darting back and forth...

"Don't be afraid, felines are very cautious. It only came because it smelled blood."

It has never seen humans before, and it is unsure whether we are edible or whether we are aggressive.

They followed us simply out of curiosity.

Hearing this, Qi Xiaojie breathed a sigh of relief…

But before he could say anything, Ye Feng added:

"But I think... it's only a matter of time before it attacks us, after all, as the top of the food chain in this land."

There's no reason they'd let these two giant monkeys escape; a probing attack is always necessary..."

"Swish swish swish!"

He had barely finished speaking when he heard the rustling of leaves behind him…

Ye Feng immediately stopped, quickly turned around, and shone his flashlight into the bushes behind him…

When the light shone on the source of the sound, both of them felt a chill run down their spines and raised their eyebrows...

Two eyes, glowing with a dark green light, were so clearly visible in the pitch-black night.

The lush vegetation concealed most of the large cat's body.

But Ye Feng still managed to guess its identity from the faintly visible yellow and black markings.

This is definitely a fully grown jaguar.

Ye Feng's throat bobbed, and Qi Xiaojie trembled slightly in fright.

As the two humans and the beast locked eyes, time seemed to stand still.

The jaguar's nose is arched high, revealing its sharp fangs.

Along with that came its signature growl.

This look could be intimidation, or it could be a prelude to an attack...
