After a brief moment of hesitation, Ye Feng drew back the bowstring and aimed at it...
"Go to hell!"
"Chirp!"
The arrow, once released, was like a shooting star, moving so fast that only the blue tail of the arrow could be seen.
"F!"
As the arrow pierced straight through its abdomen, the jaguar let out an angry roar.
Ye Feng then realized that the big cat's angry howl was almost identical to the kitten's meow when it calls for someone, only the tone was deeper...
The jaguar immediately fell from the tree, rolled twice, and then quickly ran away...
Ye Feng naturally had no intention of giving chase; being completely pierced by the composite bow would inevitably shatter his internal organs.
Such a severe penetrating wound is too much for even an elephant to withstand; death is only a matter of time.
Sure enough, the big cat only ran a dozen meters before collapsing straight to the ground…
Ye Feng took out another arrow, nocked it, and slowly walked up...
Upon closer inspection, they found that the large cat's mouth was full of blood, its eyes were slightly narrowed, and it was clearly dead...
When Ye Feng saw the wound on its abdomen again, he felt a chill run down his lower abdomen...
This doesn't look like an arrow wound at all; if you don't look closely, it's clearly a bloody hole...
Its shape is somewhat like a large "+" or "x"...
Ye Feng squatted down and touched its fur. It was a bit rough, but not prickly.
This is a really good thing, genuine tiger skin! It would be perfect for making an arm warmer, a pillowcase, or a quiver...
Ye Feng's lips curled into a smile, feeling inexplicably happy. He had never tasted tiger meat before...
Just then, his hand touched the jaguar's belly, and at that moment...
His smile froze...
Because the big cat's belly was very swollen, as if it had eaten a lot...
But Ye Feng knew that felines generally...
They would never hunt during the day, let alone choose dangerous, large prey like wild boars…
Unless it is pregnant and about to give birth... it will do this in order to obtain enough nutrition.
Ye Feng examined it more carefully and found that it was indeed a pregnant tigress…
A hint of sadness flickered in his expression, but he didn't regret it at all...
Pregnant tigresses are very dangerous, as they are concerned with ensuring the continuation of the next generation.
They typically hunt any living creature for food, even caimans are on their menu, let alone weak humans...
The law of the jungle prevails; that's the rule here…
"Why did you have to wander around my camp like that? You only have yourself to blame..."
Ye Feng sighed softly, then climbed the tree and took down the bow and arrows nailed to the treetop.
Then they threw the leftover wild boar that the jaguar had eaten under a tree...
Although it had been gnawed to pieces, in the wild, food, especially high-calorie meat like wild boar, should never be wasted.
But the two prey animals together weighed nearly two hundred kilograms, which Ye Feng simply couldn't carry...
Since the wild boar has already been gutted, the meat will spoil within a few hours if it's not processed quickly…
After thinking it over, Ye Feng shouldered the wild boar and immediately headed back the way he came...
Twenty minutes later, he arrived in front of Fu Changxiong and the other man…
After briefly explaining what had happened, he handed the wild boar over to Fu Changxiong and told him to deal with it quickly…
They then took Qi Xiaojie with them; that jaguar was the biggest haul of the day.
Tonight, Ye Feng plans to treat the three of them to a delicious wild game feast after the shelter is completed, as a reward for their recent hard work...
Soon, the two arrived at the grove of trees they had just been in…
Upon seeing the jaguar lying on the ground, Qi Xiaojie immediately showed excitement, squatted down, and began to stroke it...
Just like a little boy seeing a toy car, he absolutely adores it...
"Wow! Brother Feng, this...this is...this is a jaguar? It's so...so beautiful."
Look at these...the teeth, these...paws, they're...exactly...like a cat's."
He grew up in an orphanage and had never been to a zoo, so he was naturally very curious about these large felines.
"Alright, it's just a big cat, is it really that fun?"
"Hurry up and move it back; it'll be a shame if the meat spoils..."
"good."
Qi Xiaojie nodded, picked it up, and hurried back...
Ye Feng had originally planned to go look for the wild boar king again, but then he thought about it again, it was midday and the temperature was quite high...
Even if you find and successfully kill it, from carrying it back to camp to thoroughly dissecting and drying it...
After all this, it'll probably be dark by now, and I don't need any food anyway...
Safety is now somewhat guaranteed; that wild boar king shouldn't pose any threat to my safety now.
"You damned beast, I'll let you live a few more days..."
After thinking it over, he glanced around and then went back with Qi Xiaojie…
Time flew by, and after about an hour and a half of logging, all the necessary soil and timber had been collected…
After descending the mountain, Fu Changxiong and Qi Xiaojie were responsible for disposing of the two bodies, while Ye Feng began construction on the shelter's roof...
He planned to build a gable roof, which is the easiest and most convenient type of roof to build in the wilderness.
However, since it's a roof building project, ladders will inevitably be needed...
Ye Feng first sawed the four fir trees, each as thick as an arm, into pieces about three meters long.
After removing any excess branches, the main support structure for the two ladders is complete…
Then saw out some thick, short wooden sticks to use as steps, lay them horizontally on the two supports, and then use an "x" binding method to firmly fix them in place...
He finished the two simple wooden ladders in about half an hour...
Because two people would need to work together to lift the timber when building the main beam for the gable roof, it was necessary to make an extra one.
Ye Feng set up the ladder and jumped on it with all his might. Although it was a little unstable, it was more than enough to support him alone... after all, he had made two wooden ladders...
Next, the formal construction will begin...
Ye Feng disliked cramped rooms; if he had to hunch over to walk around inside, life would be too stifling…
Therefore, the interior height must be at least 1.9 meters...
After briefly outlining the construction plan, he immediately picked up his tools and used a ladder to support the thickest of the four elephant-leg trees…
Then, after measuring to two meters, use a knife to mark the exact location…
He plans to build another platform here, first carving a C-shaped notch at the edge of the elephant leg tree.
Then insert the wrist-thick log into the notch, and finally tie it with vines...
After the platform frame is built, tie two horizontal beams 30 centimeters above it to support the main beam of the roof.
Once these tasks are completed, the A-frame roof structure will be essentially finished…
