They have two protruding cone-shaped horns on the top of their heads, with their eyes located below the horns.
Because of its enormous size and its unique physiological structure, which resembles a cow's horn.
Therefore, it is also known as the bullhorn frog. Their mating season is from November to December each year during the rainy season.
This made Ye Feng extremely happy.
The two horned frogs in front of me both have irregular stripes of green and gray.
The female one probably weighs more than half a pound, and the smaller one is probably around 150 grams.
"Hehe, don't you guys know that showing off your love will lead to a quick breakup?"
Since you two are so in love, I'll give you a free ride.
Ye Feng slowly moved his body and raised the stick...
The male frog continued to thrust violently onto the female frog's back, seemingly oblivious to the danger.
Or perhaps it was unwilling to give up this rare mating right and never even considered escaping.
The female frog, however, sensed that the visitors were hostile.
Its dull, lifeless black eyes suddenly darted around, and it quickly turned its body, preparing to jump into the water.
However, the male frog clung tightly to its back, making it very difficult for it to move its body, let alone jump.
"Boom!"
Ye Feng swung his stick down, striking the female frog squarely on the head with a dull thud.
The female frog opened her mouth wide instantly, her two bouncy front claws stretched straight, and she fell sideways onto the bank.
Although the male frog was not seriously injured, it was still shaken down by the blow.
With a powerful leap, it jumped into a small puddle nearby, attempting to escape in this way.
But this isn't a river; the puddles are only a tiny little thing.
Ye Feng reacted quickly, and the instant it fell into the water, he slammed the stick down again.
"Smack!"
Water splashed everywhere, and after it dispersed, a blood-red stain appeared in the puddle.
The male frog floated belly up on the surface of the water, clearly having been knocked to death.
Ye Feng was overjoyed when he mentioned the two horned frogs.
This stuff is high in protein, and although the quantity is small, it's better than nothing.
Even a fly's leg is still meat, no matter how small.
After dissecting and cleaning, he began to help Fu Changxiong and the other man chop wood.
Tonight's campsite will again be in the trees.
In fact, under these circumstances, it would be more time-saving and labor-saving to simply set up a simple triangular tent on the ground.
As long as a fire is lit and sparks keep burning, it should be enough to get through the night.
But Ye Feng was genuinely afraid; he had already witnessed the terror of the Amazon night twice.
The first two times, I was on the verge of death, almost meeting the Black and White Impermanence.
He didn't want to gamble with his and his companions' lives on whether the venomous insects and beasts here would be benevolent tonight.
Therefore, in order to ensure stability and increase the chances of survival, it is necessary to leave the ground, even if it takes more time and energy.
About half an hour later, the three men carried four logs to a clearing in the woods.
There are four large trees growing separately, forming a square around this open space.
Ye Feng plans to use the same method he used to build the treehouse platform for the first time, cutting a "U"-shaped groove from the four main logs and four large trees used to build the platform.
Then, insert the main wood into the groove and tie it with rope, and the platform frame is complete.
Next, all you need to do is lay small round logs on top of it, and the platform is complete.
Ye Feng only needed this one platform to allow everyone to leave the ground and spend the night in peace.
Everyone was busy with their own tasks, never stopping for a moment.
Time passed quietly in the process, and night fell, gradually enveloping the entire sky.
9 p.m.
The five people lit two campfires on the platform of the treehouse. The two little monkeys seemed to have gotten used to the flames after spending time with the group.
They actually started playing around the stove.
Before leaving, Fu Changxiong disregarded Ye Feng's advice and insisted on taking both stoves with him.
This is exactly the kind of thing that comes in handy.
It weighed over 30 kilograms in total, otherwise he wouldn't have almost gotten dehydrated from exhaustion.
The platform has been built, but to be honest, it's very rudimentary.
There were no walls, not even a roof. It could barely accommodate five people to lie down.
They were all sitting around the fire, soaking wet, their heads dripping with water.
However, it wasn't sweat, but rather a bath in the stream.
With such great conditions, it's only natural to take a good shower to wash off the stench of sweat.
Because they don't know when they'll get another bath.
After all, one shouldn't just walk into the Amazon River.
The pot contained simmering pieces of horned frogs, pork cracklings, and some tree leaves.
It can't compare to last night's feast, but being able to eat this kind of stew in the wild is already a very good meal.
The chirping of insects here is just as loud as the area around their treehouse.
However, some mosquitoes seem to have a somewhat muffled buzzing sound.
There's nothing we can do about it; there are just more insects near water sources.
Ye Feng raised his hand to glance at his watch and made a rough estimate.
That day, they probably only covered about 4 kilometers, which was far short of the planned 6 kilometers.
At this rate, it will take three days to get the weapon.
Even if the round trip goes smoothly, they will still need to rest for 5 nights in this dangerous rainforest.
Moreover, he has already decided on this direction, and there are definitely other top ten rankings.
If you encounter them, a fierce battle is highly likely.
"Is it Tang Weiwei's group, or Cairnster's?"
Thinking of this, Ye Feng couldn't help but frown.
Ye Feng had actually considered not following the map and taking a detour, which might help him avoid encountering other people.
But after today's journey, he completely abandoned that idea.
Because the threat to their lives posed by this jungle is no less than that posed by other humans.
Since neither approach works, we have no choice but to blindly push forward.
"I hope everything goes well."
Ye Feng threw a piece of firewood into the fire, silently praying in his heart.
"Brother Feng, what are your plans for tomorrow?"
Liu Sisi sat on the ground, hugging her bent legs and resting her head on her knees.
Ye Feng stirred the frog meat in the pot with a wooden stick, his eyes filled with exhaustion.
"What other plans could we have? Let's just keep going. How much water did you bring?"
Liu Sisi took out the water bottle with an embarrassed expression.
"I've cut down almost all the water vines there, so I only filled this pot about halfway."
I was going to keep searching, but then it got dark again.
"It's alright. I wasn't expecting it to be full anyway, this much is already pretty good."
Ye Feng licked the wooden stick; the saltiness was just right, and it was very fresh, without a strong fishy smell.
He looked around at the crowd and found that they were all exhausted.
Fu Changxiong, in particular, had his eyes squinting, just like a student who wanted to doze off in class.
He, who usually loves to eat, now doesn't even seem to have much interest in such delicious food.
Ye Feng knew that he was indeed carrying too much of a burden.
