Li Yu then led Fu Xiyao to lie in wait nearby, completely covering the two of them with a tarpaulin and hiding them.

Li Yu picked up the bow and arrow, her eyes fixed on that spot.

The crow remained standing in the heavy rain in the distance, showing no intention of approaching.

Time passed slowly, and Li Yu continued to wait patiently.

Because he was huddled together with Fu Xiyao for warmth, he didn't feel cold.

After an unknown amount of time, the rain subsided slightly.

The surroundings were shrouded in a hazy mist.

Under the waterproof tarpaulin, Li Yu and Fu Xiyao huddled together, continuing to wait for their prey.

Not far away, a sudden burst of water splashed from the stream formed by the rain.

Li Yu and Fu Xiyao looked over, and their expressions immediately changed, with a hint of fear in their eyes.

Both of them slowed their breathing, afraid to make a sound.

A huge crocodile slowly crawled over, seemingly tasting blood in the rainwater.

Its body is enormous, its limbs are strong, and it is covered with rough, grayish-brown scales, which look even more ferocious under the constant erosion of rain.

Those cold, indifferent eyes scanned the surroundings, finally settling on the corpse not far away.

The body was swollen from being soaked in the rain, making it look particularly desolate.

The crocodile seemed completely unconcerned, slowly paddling its limbs as it approached the innocent body.

As the crocodile approached, Li Yu could feel a chill emanating from its body.

The crocodile opened its blood-red jaws, revealing sharp fangs, and pounced, burying its entire head in the carcass, beginning to tear at it greedily.

Li Yu and Fu Xiyao witnessed everything, and neither of them dared to move, for fear that even the slightest sound would attract the terrifying beast.

Although he held a bow and arrows, Li Yu did not believe that he could kill such a huge crocodile with his bow and arrows alone.

The sounds of rain, water, and nauseating chewing blended together to create a terrifying symphony in the rain.

After an unknown amount of time, the crocodile finally satisfied its gluttonous appetite and slowly continued swimming downstream, leaving behind only a mess.

The two remained motionless. They waited for a while until they were sure the crocodile was far away before they dared to move their fingers cautiously, then their arms, shoulders, and finally their entire bodies.

They exchanged a glance, needing no further words; that unspoken understanding was especially precious at that moment.

The rain washed away the smell of blood and carried it further away.

The few rain crows remained standing far away in the rain, their keen eyes observing everything before them.

The rain continued to wash over their black feathers, but they remained motionless, seemingly more patient than Li Yu and his companion.

Just then, a black stray dog ​​quietly appeared in Li Yu's line of sight.

The wild dog has no hair on its body, presenting a strange, almost naked skin condition.

In this wilderness constantly soaked by rain, dense fur not only fails to provide effective insulation but also becomes a heavy burden, hindering their rapid movement and hunting on the slippery ground.

Therefore, through countless generations of evolution and adaptation, these wild dogs have gradually developed an almost hairless physique, and their skin has become tough and elastic, able to withstand direct rain and prolonged dampness.

These physical characteristics allow wild dogs to move freely in the rain, which is also their unique evolutionary strategy.

At that moment, the stray dog ​​was sniffing the air with its nose, clearly attracted by the strong smell of blood.

It moved cautiously, step by step approaching the devastated place, its eyes gleaming with a mixture of wariness and greed.

The increasingly strong smell of blood had made the hungry wild dogs incredibly excited.

Hidden in the distance, Li Yu slowly aimed his bow and arrow at the wild dog.
