Ye Feng estimated that the black caiman in front of him was about 3.6 meters long and weighed about 500 to 600 kilograms.
Even if they are not fully adults, they are at least near-adults.
This size is actually big enough to walk sideways in a river.
However, it encountered its most formidable opponent, both of whom were the dominant forces in the river.
However, groups of giant otters clearly have the upper hand.
As time went on, the circle formed by the giant otters grew smaller and smaller.
The crocodiles could only open their mouths wide, helplessly trying to bite one of the crocodiles in the middle to drive them away.
However, the giant otter is almost three times faster than a crocodile in the water.
They can reach speeds of up to 50 kilometers per hour, while black caimans can only reach speeds of less than 18 kilometers per hour.
At this point, the crocodiles were unable to bite or escape; their intelligence and numbers completely overwhelmed them, leaving them with no chance of survival.
Sure enough, less than 30 seconds later, a giant otter suddenly launched an attack…
"Chirp chirp chirp!"
A social group of otters can understand each other's next move by listening to each other's calls.
The otter bit the crocodile's back in one swift motion.
The crocodile, in pain, opened its mouth wide and turned its head to bite back.
But giant otters are extremely intelligent; they know crocodiles very well.
The otter didn't linger; after taking a bite, it quickly disappeared into the water, giving the crocodile no chance to retaliate.
Giant otters may seem harmless, but their 2.5-centimeter-long teeth, combined with a bite force of 250 kilograms, are a different story.
It can even easily crush the scales of the arapaima.
Therefore, the seemingly sturdy crocodile skin was breached by this one bite.
Blood began to flow from the black caiman's body.
While the crocodile turned its head, several otters on the other side also began their attack.
They do the same thing, taking a bite wherever they bite, and then immediately plunge into the water, never lingering.
Seeing this, Ye Feng put down his binoculars.
The outcome is basically decided now; this crocodile is doomed and has no chance of escaping.
"Row quickly, we need to get out of here while they're busy!"
Ye Feng directed everyone to dock directly.
But the goal wasn't to go ashore; rather, it was to paddle close to the shore.
In this way, if any uncontrollable accident occurs, they can evacuate immediately.
Getting there was important, but staying alive was even more crucial. These otters were far more ferocious than he had imagined.
At this moment, a blood-red stain had already appeared on the distant river surface.
In just a few seconds, the crocodile was clearly unable to hold on.
It let out a painful roar, and its biological instincts caused it to begin to flee frantically.
But seeing that it couldn't break out of the encirclement, it started biting randomly.
The otter pack was so large that it attacked indiscriminately, and one or two of them were actually bitten.
However, the otters' recurves caused them to accumulate more and more wounds.
Seeing this, it had no choice but to desperately try anything and plunged into the water.
Little did the otters know, this was exactly the result they wanted.
When it comes to swimming ability, not even an injured crocodile, let alone a saltwater crocodile, can compare to a giant otter.
Their agility and swimming speed in the water allow them to completely take the initiative.
The whiskers around the mouths of giant otters are not just for decoration; they allow them to clearly sense water flow and pressure, thus pinpointing the exact location of their prey and launching a surprise attack.
Crocodiles, however, have greatly limited vision underwater and can only rely on ultraviolet light to roughly determine their location.
This is also why it didn't run away immediately after discovering it was surrounded by a group of otters.
Sure enough, within a minute, the crimson seepage from underwater became increasingly intense.
Ye Feng and his companions were rowing the boat frantically, trying to escape this place as quickly as possible.
But before they could even paddle to where the otters were fighting, the crocodile floated up.
Its limbs were all gone, and its body was riddled with dozens of bloody holes, with flesh missing in many places, and its internal organs could be faintly seen leaking out of the wounds...
"broken!"
Ye Feng felt a sense of foreboding; he hadn't expected that this crocodile wouldn't even last a minute.
Just then, the otters poked their heads out of the river.
The casualties were only two or three, while the remaining otters all had a piece of crocodile meat in their front paws.
It has a tail, claws, and some chunks of meat.
Just as they were preparing to enjoy their feast, one of them suddenly let out a sharp chirp.
The other otters immediately stopped chewing, and more than twenty pairs of eyes turned to look at Ye Feng and the others.
That adorable face, coupled with those big, blinking eyes, was incredibly creepy in the eyes of Ye Feng and his companions at that moment.
They immediately felt a chill run down their spines, and the rowers involuntarily stopped.
The two stood facing each other, separated by the river, which was nearly twenty meters apart.
The air seemed to freeze at that moment…
This feeling was familiar to Ye Feng, who instantly recalled the crocodile he encountered when he was crossing the river alone.
These seemingly cute little creatures exerted an almost equal sense of pressure on him as the terrifying-looking crocodile.
This is... a bit troublesome.
"Let's all get ready to go ashore. These guys seem to have their eyes on us."
Ye Feng kept his eyes fixed on the otters and gave them instructions in a soft voice.
He dared not make any excessive movements, for fear of provoking a swarm of otters to attack him.
If these guys were to dive down, it would be very difficult to hit them with arrows.
Liu Sisi gripped the bow tightly in her hand, trying to comfort herself:
"Brother Feng, they already have such a big crocodile, they shouldn't be targeting us anymore, right?"
"Don't get your hopes up too high. Be careful, these guys are just a bunch of bandits."
Ye Feng slowly took down the bow and leisurely drew it halfway, but his eyes dared not look away from the otter colony even an inch.
"Giant otters have a strong sense of territory and are very curious."
They usually kill any other large creatures that enter their territory.
And they'll be even more curious about unknown species like us, so I..."
"They're here!"
Before Ye Feng could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Tang Weiwei's exclamation.
The otters dropped the pieces of meat they were holding and began to swim towards them.
Everyone was on high alert and quickly drew their bows to prepare to fire.
Before they could even take aim, the otters dived underwater.
The expected thing still happened.
"Damn beasts! Everyone, get ashore now!"
Ye Feng's tone was urgent, but not panicked. After all, once they were on land, the otters would lose their advantage.
The group quickly and swiftly reached the shore.
As soon as they left the raft, four giant otters immediately poked their heads out from beside it.
Keep in mind that their evacuation took less than 8 seconds.
This shows how fast these otters are.
"ah!"
Fu Changxiong, who was walking at the very back, suddenly cried out in pain. He turned around and saw...
An otter had already bitten his leggings…
