The three-layered, thickened pigskin leggings were bitten through in an instant.

"You son of a bitch!"

Fu Changxiong felt the pain and thrust his spear into the giant otter.

Land is not the same as underwater; without the advantage of agility, the giant otter's movements and reactions are much slower.

The bullet pierced directly through the otter's back and into its abdomen.

"Chirp chirp chirp!"

The sharp and distinct scream stopped the other otters that arrived later in their tracks.

They were very clever, though they didn't know what species the monkey-like creature in front of them actually was.

But the injury to their companion made them wary.

They didn't know that there was an animal called a human in the world; they just thought these large monkeys seemed pretty powerful.

As a result, the otters no longer approached Ye Feng and his group easily, their eyes filled with curiosity and vigilance.

They chattered incessantly, and many otters climbed onto the raft, howling at Ye Feng and his companions.

Soon, the otter whose body had been pierced by Fu Changxiong died, and Fu Changxiong broke free of his control and came to Ye Feng's side.

"Nobita, are you alright?"

Fu Changxiong shook his head…

"You won't die, it'll just be a minor scratch. These things have very sharp teeth."

Ye Feng glanced at the numerous otters on the raft and immediately ordered them to fire.

The group, who had already taken aim, immediately released their bows, and all seven bows simultaneously emitted a whooshing sound.

Then came the chaotic screams of the otters.

They had no idea what bows and arrows were; all they knew was that these things could kill them.

One by one, they fled back into the water and quickly scattered.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the otters flee.

Fortunately, they reached the shore in advance; otherwise, if they had been in the water, they would not have been able to escape this predicament.

But then Ye Feng suddenly had an idea.

Wasn't he just looking to test the toxicity of this poisoned arrow? And this giant otter, well, it's a mammal...

Why not use them to test how potent this poison is?

Thinking of this, he drew his bow again, aimed at an otter that was swimming at the very back and surfacing, and fired an arrow…

The arrow grazed the otter's right forepaw, leaving a wound.

Only after seeing the blood did Ye Feng put away the arrow with satisfaction.

"Ye Feng, let's hurry up and leave. Only seven otters have died; they might come back."

Tang Weiwei urged him on from the side, and then prepared to board the raft again and leave.

"There's no rush yet."

Ye Feng spoke calmly, his gaze still fixed on the otters that had escaped.

"You guys retrieve the arrows first, I need to check when the poison takes effect."

Upon hearing this, the group went to the raft to collect arrows.

Many arrows pierced the otter's body, some stuck in the raft, and others went into the water and are now floating on the river.

Meanwhile, the escaped otters had already reached the other side.

Ye Feng searched for a while with his binoculars before finally finding the injured otter.

At this moment, it was sitting on a dead tree trunk, licking the blood flowing from its claws, and occasionally glancing in Ye Feng's direction.

Ye Feng silently calculated the time in his mind...

Sure enough, after more than thirty seconds, symptoms gradually appeared on the otter.

Its body began to tremble slightly, as if it were shivering from the cold.

His nostrils flared open involuntarily, as if he were trying to breathe.

Ye Feng smiled, feeling incredibly happy.

These reactions occur because the toxins interfere with its muscular system and affect its respiratory center.

This toxin is exactly as described in the video.

Soon, another twenty seconds passed, and the otter collapsed onto the tree trunk and began to convulse uncontrollably.

He made intermittent humming sounds.

The other otters gathered around, puzzled.

Another thirty seconds passed, and the convulsions began to become more and more violent, accompanied by drooling.

The otter fell from the dead tree trunk into the water and lost consciousness completely.

"Hehehe... Good riddance! Wasn't it good to be alive? Why did you have to come and provoke me?"

Ye Feng was very happy, but not because he had driven away the otter colony.

Rather, it was the toxins he created that were truly potent.

When it comes to resistance to neurotoxins, wild giant otters are somewhat stronger than humans.

It took the otter about two minutes to go from being poisoned to dying.

If it were a human, the time would probably be even shorter.

After the test, Ye Feng led everyone to continue their journey.

However, to prevent the otter pack from continuing their pursuit, Ye Feng secured the raft with ropes.

Then everyone held onto the rope and followed the raft along the shore until they were sure the otters weren't coming up.

They then boarded the raft again.

Ye Feng treated Fu Changxiong's wounds. The three layers of pigskin leggings and pants couldn't stop the giant otter from biting him.

Fortunately, it withstood most of the damage; the wounds were not deep, just two small holes.

After disinfection and bandaging, it's not a big problem and won't affect my journey much.

After paddling for about ten minutes, the group finally entered a wide river.

The two sides are at least 200 meters apart, offering a very wide view.

This is the only way for them to move forward...

The river flowed much faster than the stream, but fortunately, it was far enough from the bank that the group no longer needed to be constantly on guard.

It's already past one o'clock in the afternoon, and they haven't had lunch yet.

Long periods of rowing deplete physical strength much faster than one might imagine.

Apart from the few people rowing the boat, the others were dealing with the giant otter's carcass.

Hot food is definitely tastier than jerky, and it can replenish your energy while also boosting your will to survive.

This otter was the one Fu Changxiong stabbed to death with a gun. It wasn't poisonous, but I don't know what it tasted like.

Ye Feng didn't have high hopes for this, since wild carnivores generally don't taste good.

He had eaten jaguar before, but it didn't taste as good as python meat.

But once a pot of broth was ready, he changed his mind.

There are only a few seasonings, but the aroma is irresistible.

I don't know if I was really hungry or if that's just how it is.

He picked up a piece of stewed meat that had turned white, chewed it a couple of times, and then raised an eyebrow.

It was surprisingly delicious, with a texture like a mix of chicken breast and pork belly.

It has a soft and chewy texture, and even a slight sweet aftertaste.

Honestly, as a pure carnivore, this taste is absolutely divine.

Everyone ate their fill and had a great time. After finishing the meal and cleaning up...

They rowed for another ten minutes or so, entering a smaller river from a branch of the main river.

It's almost 3 p.m. now. Although the journey was uneventful, it still took up too much of our time.

Ye Feng estimated that they were less than a kilometer away from the landing point.

It looks like those people won't be able to catch them today.

What will the heart of the Amazon be like?
