Chapter 37 Chasing the Jaguar

"You damned beast, your end is nigh!"

Ye Feng is a very vengeful person. The time the wild boar king nudged him has caused his buttocks to ache slightly for the past two days while he's sitting.

Now, he finally has a chance for revenge...

After putting away their bows and arrows, the three began to savor the bone broth…

This natural, additive-free broth has an irresistible aroma of meat, and the pork bone marrow is tender and not greasy at all…

Ye Feng took a small bite, and the feeling could be summed up in one word... fresh!

Today, the three of them aim to build a roof and repair the walls. Only with a roof can it be considered a true treehouse…

But this will also require some soil and wood.

So, after quickly finishing the bone broth, the three of them tidied up briefly and headed towards the mountaintop…

The timber used to build the roof doesn't need to be anything special; the surrounding trees are sufficient…

But Ye Feng still had a deep obsession with those wild boars, and it wasn't just about eating them...

He always believed that any animal capable of threatening his safety must be eliminated…

Moreover, another jaguar has appeared nearby; it's better to take the initiative than to be attacked passively...

Upon reaching the mountaintop, as previously instructed, Fu Changxiong was responsible for cutting down trees, and Qi Xiaojie was responsible for digging soil…

Ye Feng, carrying a compound bow, slowly made his way deeper into the dense forest…

He carefully observed his surroundings with every step he took, not only to avoid jaguars and wild boars…

When he came to dig the soil yesterday, he found no fewer than three kinds of poisonous spiders here.

People often assume that the Amazon's terror lies in its famous large predators...

But the truth is different. Usually, what kills people are bacteria and those inconspicuous little insects.

Bear Grylls once said that in the wild, you should never underestimate any creature or plant.

Even if they seem harmless, you must always be vigilant…

Sure enough, as Ye Feng passed a thicket, he noticed something above his head, on the leaves of a large fern to his left...

A small snake, entirely bluish-green with a reddish-brown tail, was lying prone...

Ye Feng recognized it at a glance; it was a type of bamboo viper, specifically the Red-tailed Bamboo Viper…

Although it's not a highly venomous snake, a bite can cause intense pain at the wound site, which can last for several hours.

At this moment, it was flicking its tongue at Ye Feng, seemingly asserting its dominance...

From its slightly bulging belly, Ye Feng knew that this guy had probably just eaten something and was digesting it...

"Oh? You dare glare at me? If I didn't think you were too thin, I would have stewed you!"

As he spoke, he poked a leaf with the tip of his compound bow, and the little snake immediately fell down and crawled backward…

Ye Feng continued exploring, and before long, he passed through the bushes and arrived at the hollow where the wild boars had fought a couple of days ago…

Upon closer inspection, he discovered quite a few fresh wild boar footprints…

He had initially thought that after killing four wild boars with a trap last time, these boars might have moved away...

I can't believe they still dare to operate here...

Ye Feng gave a sinister smile, but just as he was brimming with confidence, a leaf with red spots on the ground suddenly caught his attention…

"Um?"

Ye Feng slowly peeled away the withered leaves with the bow, and then he saw clearly that it was not a red spot at all, but... a drop of bright red blood.

He picked up the leaf and gently rubbed it against the red spot with his finger...

The fingertips were stained with a small amount of blood, indicating that a fight had taken place here 10 to 20 minutes earlier…

It's either a fight between wild boars, or... a fight with other predators...

On land, only its two natural predators dare to attack wild boars: the jaguar and the anaconda…

However, when anacondas kill wild boars, they are usually strangled, so there is basically no bloodshed...

Thinking of this, Ye Feng frowned and hurriedly began to search carefully on the ground...

A few dozen seconds later, he picked up another leaf, and on it... was a muddy footprint.

Clearly, this is a jaguar…

Ye Feng now understood that not long ago, a jaguar must have launched a surprise attack on a wild boar.

Jaguars typically hunt at dusk and night, so it's quite rare to see one out hunting at this hour.

"Hmph, very well, I'll deal with you first this time!"

Thinking it over, he immediately followed the path with the most wild boar tracks and plunged into a thicket of bushes once more…

Sure enough, not long after, he found fresh blood and fairly obvious drag marks on the leaves of some plants…

This suggests that the jaguar had already caught a wild boar.

Ye Feng carefully followed the tracks, passing through patch after patch of grass...

Finally, after following for more than ten minutes, he arrived at a dense forest he had never been to before…

And the bloodstains and footprints completely disappeared here...

However, he dared not be careless and quickly drew out the quadrilateral arrow from the quiver. This arrow was specially designed to deal with large beasts.

If you are hit by a bullet, the wound area will be greatly increased, and the internal organs will be severely damaged as a result...

Ye Feng nocked the arrow, so that he could draw the bow and shoot it at any moment...

At this moment, his nerves were stretched to the limit, his eyes darting back and forth, rapidly scanning the eerie and quiet woods…

The jaguar's ambush ability is top-tier among felines...

Therefore, he would not hesitate to draw his bow and shoot at any sound around him...

He searched in the woods for nearly ten minutes, but still found nothing…

At this moment, Ye Feng was leaning against a large tree, panting heavily...

"You beast, you're lucky! Don't let me run into you again!"

After uttering a complaint, he started walking back...

But as soon as he took a step, he heard a soft "thud" sound from behind his neck...

It sounds like raindrops falling...

"Huh? It's raining?"

Although the weather in the Amazon is unpredictable, it's clearly not the rainy season yet, so it shouldn't be this abnormal.

Moreover, it was sunny when we first entered the forest, so how could it suddenly turn sunny?

Ye Feng looked up at the sky, and even through the dense foliage, he could still see the bright sunlight outside…

"It's not raining?"

He reached up and touched the back of his neck, then looked at it, and his pupils widened in shock…

This isn't rainwater at all, it's...blood...

Ye Feng quickly turned around and looked up, his brows immediately furrowing...

A jaguar, its fur a mix of tan and spots, was perched on a tree branch...

It arched its nose, revealing sharp fangs, and stared fiercely at me…

And hanging next to it was... a wild boar, its flesh torn and mangled...

Fresh blood is dripping down...

The jaguar seemed to have already identified Ye Feng as an enemy trying to steal its prey, and immediately let out a howling warning...
