After a moment of schadenfreude, his eyes lit up as he looked at the old black man's shoes...
They were a pair of black, high-top jungle boots, seemingly made of leather, and showed no signs of damage…
He himself didn't lack anything, but then he suddenly remembered that Fu Changxiong seemed to be wearing sneakers.
The shoes on the previous dead bodies didn't fit him, but this pair seemed to be around size 45.
Ye Feng never wastes any resources that might come in handy, let alone something as good as this.
Just as he was taking off his shoes, inside the corpse's abdominal cavity, a blue, round thing was slowly wriggling amidst the jumbled pile of internal organs...
Ye Feng's eyes widened, and he immediately stood up...
Encountering such brightly colored animals in the wild is definitely not a good thing.
He gently poked the back of the thing with his walking stick.
Unexpectedly, that thing started to burrow inside...
Ye Feng was planning to use the corpse to fish for crocodiles later, and he didn't want any of these unknown creatures around him...
So he used a stick to pry open the sticky intestines, and in just a few seconds he saw the full appearance of the blue creature.
This is a giant dung beetle, commonly known as a dung beetle.
However, due to its environment and abundant oxygen levels, the plants and animals in the Amazon are generally larger than those in other regions…
The giant dung beetle of the Amazon is unlike any other dung beetle that eats feces.
These things eat carrion; they are mostly blue and about five or six centimeters long.
It's several times larger than a typical dung beetle...
It has a pointed horn on its forehead that stands upright; it is non-toxic and poses no threat to humans.
The Kabuterimon in Digimon is based on this animal.
Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief, finally understanding that those strange serrated bite marks were caused by this thing.
It's obvious that a lot of dung beetles must have come last night to eat an adult like that.
Although this thing has high medicinal value, one is really not very useful.
He chased away the dung beetles and removed the corpse's shoes and socks.
They then put the intestines back into the corpse's stomach.
Finally, with a look of disgust, he picked up all the dark brown pieces of liver...
It looks somewhat like a liver, and also somewhat like a kidney…
They were all placed in the small bags on the outside of the backpack.
These things, though incredibly repulsive, are, in the eyes of those bloodthirsty predators, a delicacy…
Ye Feng thought to himself, since the wild boar had already visited this place last night and hadn't finished eating the carcass...
That means there aren't many wild boars in this area, and it's not during the daytime that wild boars are active.
Setting those as goals would be far too difficult…
Therefore, his only hunting option now is the giant beasts in the river…
After thinking for a moment, he took out a rattan cane from his bag and tied it around the corpse's neck...
We started heading towards the river...
This is why Ye Feng can give his companions a sense of security; he always has a plan for everything he does.
We should always be mindful of potential dangers even in times of peace...
If he previously complained that the rattan would increase his load and was too lazy to bring it.
So now, he has no choice but to carry the corpse forward...
But with that smell, he'd probably pass out before he even reached the river...
And so he dragged the corpse along, through the woods and through the bushes.
Occasionally, his corpse would get entangled in some root plants, causing him to frequently have to turn back to untangle it after walking a short distance.
Even with this constant stopping and starting, he still managed to identify plants by their colors…
After an hour's drive, we finally arrived at the edge of a small river, about 20 meters wide...
He rested for a moment, then cut off a piece of intestine, touched it to the riverbank, and gently splashed the water...
After about two minutes, the section of intestine began to be torn apart...
That's right, the visitors were none other than the piranhas that we're used to seeing...
However, this piranha was different from the ones I'd seen before.
Besides bursts of red light moving underwater, there were also specks of white light flashing.
Like tiny, shining stars…
"Splash splash splash!"
The water suddenly began to churn violently…
Countless piranhas began frantically devouring the food, and the section of intestine disappeared completely in less than 10 seconds…
Taking this opportunity, Ye Feng finally got a clear look at them...
These are a group of Native American warrior piranhas—
Also known as the Griezmann's sawtooth carp. He estimated there must be at least fifty of them…
This piranha has a high rhomboid body, a large triangular head, and red eyes.
It is about 25 centimeters long, slightly larger than the red-bellied piranha.
There was also a thick red line on its back that ran from the tip of its mouth all the way to the front edge of its dorsal fin.
The scales on both sides also have many white spots, which are called diamond scales.
When they swim rapidly in groups, they create a burst of white light...
It is said that the flesh of this species of fish is quite good, and seems to be more delicate than that of the red-bellied piranha.
But Ye Feng was frowning, looking utterly helpless...
His target is a large machine that can provide a lot of livers.
These gadgets are completely useless.
And most importantly... the presence of so many piranhas here indicates that there are no large predators in the surrounding waters.
Because they have lived here for so long, animals often have a stronger sense of perception than humans.
Animals like piranhas are actually not even considered part of the Amazon River.
Electric eels, giant catfish, caimans, black caimans, arapaima, wolffish, giant otters, anacondas...
These large predators are natural enemies of piranhas. Eating them is like child's play...
Therefore, these seemingly ferocious piranhas will try to avoid the rivers where their natural enemies are located.
Therefore, it is not difficult to infer that rivers with a large number of piranhas generally do not have other large fish.
Even if they exist, the quantity certainly won't be large...
"This is so annoying, what bad luck..."
Ye Feng muttered a complaint under his breath, "At this rate, we won't be able to catch any big fish in this river area at all..."
Helpless, he could only pick up the leaves he had just thrown away again and stuff them back into his nose...
He really wanted to get rid of the body and find other bait.
After all, who would want to spend a long time with a stinking corpse?
But there's no other way; that would be a huge waste of time.
So he continued dragging the body along the riverbank...
However, this time he learned his lesson; when he came, he went downstream.
This time, he's going against the current...
Since the piranhas have been driven into this small river, there must be something they fear upstream.
