"Hold this for me..."
Ye Feng shoved the flashlight into Qi Xiaojie's hand and prepared to remove the compound bow from his neck...
But just then, the jaguar suddenly leaped away and disappeared from their sight.
"Quick! Find it!"
Qi Xiao quickly turned the flashlight and began searching...
However, due to the abundance of vegetation around them, they could only vaguely see a blurry afterimage running through the grass.
In less than ten seconds, the two men completely lost sight of the jaguar.
Ye Feng's heart tightened, and an ominous premonition instantly enveloped his entire body...
Although the big cat has temporarily disappeared, it has not run away.
Instead, they hid in the surrounding area.
This shows that it was very interested in the fish in the backpack.
Or perhaps, it's because they're interested in themselves...
But for whatever reason, Ye Feng would never agree.
After thinking it over, he decisively took out his Nepalese passport.
What a joke! I worked hard all day to get this fish.
They risked their lives and used all their strength to carry it here.
It's absolutely impossible to hand it over to this beast now.
Ye Feng was prepared to live and die with the fish.
"Little stutterer, throwing stones won't work on this guy, now we'll have to use a knife."
Remember, when it attacks you, you must protect your neck.
I will resolve it as soon as possible.
Upon hearing this, Qi Xiaojie's face showed both fear and confusion...
"How...how...did you know that it...it would...attack me?"
"Because you're small, you're easier to catch. Felines are very selective about their prey. Be careful."
After saying this, Qi Xiaojie couldn't help but shrink his neck, and his breathing became slower.
And the reality was pretty much as Ye Feng had predicted; during their conversation…
The jaguar had somehow appeared behind them.
Those glowing green vertical pupils were filled with murderous intent.
He stared unblinkingly at Qi Xiaojie…
After about ten seconds, it gently moved its front paws forward a few steps.
It made almost no sound...
At this moment, it was less than 10 meters away from the two of them…
But the two of them were completely unaware...
The jaguar slowly crouched down, tilting its head slightly forward, its sharp claws already poised to emerge from its paw pads.
This is a very obvious surprise attack, just like a cat ambushing a mouse.
A few seconds later…
"sand…"
The sound of rustling leaves suddenly rang out, and the big cat, like an arrow released from a bow, instantly became a blur.
The ten-meter distance was covered in the blink of an eye, taking less than two seconds.
At the same time, the two, who were on high alert, immediately noticed.
"Protect……"
"Aww!"
Before Ye Feng could finish speaking, he heard the roar of a jaguar.
The fish-scale skin covering his body was torn off by Qi Xiaojie, who was knocking him to the ground, in an instant.
The jaguar didn't waste a moment, its hooked claws firmly embedded in the fish's scales.
The large head kept tearing at Qi Xiaojie's body, trying to find his neck to strangle him.
Qi Xiaojie, on the other hand, had taken Ye Feng's advice beforehand.
It immediately covered its head and buried itself in the huge fish scales, letting out terrified screams.
"Brother Feng... help... help me!"
Ye Feng immediately reversed his grip on the knife hilt...
Since the flashlight was being held by Qi Xiaojie, it fell into the grass not far away the moment he was tackled.
Furthermore, the light wasn't directed at the jaguar, so Ye Feng could only see two blurry shadows intertwined, wriggling on the ground.
For a moment, he hesitated to make the cut, fearing he might accidentally stab Qi Xiaojie.
"hiss!"
Just then, a crisp sound, like tearing cloth, suddenly rang out.
Immediately following was Qi Xiaojie's urgent shout...
"It...it's biting...my...my hand..."
Ye Feng was also extremely anxious at this moment, and immediately said:
"Roll around twice quickly, or I won't be able to tell who's who!"
Upon hearing this, Qi Xiaojie, who was wrapped up like a rice dumpling, began to roll around.
The jaguar, however, was hot on its heels and immediately stood up to join the attack, having been lying on its side tearing at the prey.
But in that instant, Ye Feng caught a glimpse of the faint, slender black shadow of a tail.
He immediately took two steps forward, aimed at the dark figure, and plunged the knife down hard.
"puff!"
A faint sound of flesh being pierced rang out…
But Ye Feng did not stop. He knew that this level of effort was not enough to quickly achieve a kill.
He immediately drew his knife and began a series of stabbings.
After being stabbed several times, the jaguar let out a painful and angry roar.
Then a claw swung towards his arm…
"hiss!"
The familiar sound rang out again, and Ye Feng's sleeve was instantly ripped in three places.
Taking advantage of this moment, the big cat quickly turned around, darted into the bushes, and made its escape...
To prevent it from attacking again, Ye Feng quickly ran to the bushes on the other side and picked up the flashlight.
After carefully observing his surroundings, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Scattered bloodstains were visible on the ground, stretching all the way to the edge of the woods.
He stabbed me four times in total, and judging from the blade of the Nepalese knife, about a quarter of it was covered in blood.
It was nearly 10 centimeters long, which shows how deeply it penetrated the flesh.
This jaguar is definitely not going to live much longer.
Ye Feng looked at the sleeves tied to his hands and felt a wave of fear wash over him.
This was made of three layers of thick wild boar hide, yet this big cat casually tore through two layers with a single claw.
It's easy to imagine that without the sleeves, I probably wouldn't have been able to save my hand.
"The attack power of large felines is indeed formidable."
At this moment, Qi Xiaojie also cautiously crawled out of the fish skin, his glasses falling off in fright.
"Brother Feng, did...did that guy...run away?"
"Its internal organs are severely damaged; it won't live past dawn."
Ye Feng immediately put away the fish skin and urged:
"Let's get out of here. The night in the Amazon doesn't belong to us humans."
After saying that, Qi Xiaojie immediately stood up and looked at the sleeve on his left hand, which also had three tears.
The two, flashlights in hand, resumed their journey...
Tonight, they witnessed the terror of the Amazon.
Especially Ye Feng, who is a person with a strong sense of time.
He knew very well that at most an hour had passed since it got dark.
But in such a short time, without the flashlight, this set of equipment, his sharp mind, and the fish-scale coat he had prepared in advance, he would have been in a very difficult situation.
He has died at least twice...
And this was only at nightfall; I can't imagine how dangerous it would be if it were late at night.
This also proves the truth of that statement...
"Traveling in the wilderness after dark means you're one step closer to death."
A dozen minutes passed, and the two encountered some minor incidents on the way.
Fortunately, all was well and we made it back to camp safely.
