Chapter Five Hundred and Sixty Eight - Otters and Jaguars
The jaguar, carrying a little otter and a bag full of palm tree fruits, went home happily.
The two of them made a small nest under a super thick tree, and cleared the bushes under the big tree to create an area suitable for them to sleep.
Just doing this work made them both tired and out of breath. Jun Qi was okay, he was strong and had strong teeth, but Xu Qiaoqiao was more tired. Her small body carried too many things.
The vegetation here is many times larger than what we have seen before.
Moreover, after some plants were cut off, their branch sap was still sticky and stuck to Xu Qiaoqiao's hair, making cleaning up a very troublesome task.
Shrubs and other vegetation in the Amazon rainforest grow very vigorously. In order to absorb light, various vegetations compete to grow taller. Many plants are more than 60 meters high, blocking out the sky and the sun.
It looks no different from a virgin forest, like something out of a fairy tale.
Everything you see is green, covering the branches of big trees. Various shrubs, trees, vines, and parasitic plants are layered on top of each other, full of life.
Jun Qi held the strap of his schoolbag in his mouth and slowly led Xu Qiaoqiao back to the small den where the two of them lived. He pushed aside the bushes in front of him and took a familiar path and turned into the side path. This was a shortcut and very safe.
Xu Qiaoqiao was still holding a bunch of fruits on her paws. From time to time, she would lean down, grab a piece of fruit, and bring it to Jun Qi's mouth. This was not today's lunch, just some desserts.
There are also many things that Xu Qiaoqiao picked up in the den. They are all tools. They are probably left behind by the adventurers who came here to explore. As for why the good tools are still there, it goes without saying.
"Hey." Junjun, what are we eating today?
After Xu Qiaoqiao put the backpack into the bushes nearby, he walked towards Jun Qi, raised his paws, touched his chin, and then after he looked over, touched his belly again.
Called something.
Very good. Jun Qi is very familiar with this action. Whenever the little guy wants to eat, he will make this action.
Although we don't understand the language, fortunately our actions can convey the meaning we want to express.
Jun Qi stretched his paws to Xu Qiaoqiao's belly, touched it through the thick layer of fur, blinked his eyes, and made a strange sound in his throat.
——Little guy, let’s go hunting.
Xu Qiaoqiao saw this meaning from Jun Qi's eyes and clapped her hands excitedly. She was very happy. Since becoming an animal, eating whatever she eats every day has been her biggest entertainment activity.
"Hey." Junjun, wait a minute, I'm going to get some tools.
After calling, Xu Qiaoqiao went to the bushes nearby and got in, leaving only a fluffy tail outside. It was moving around, as if looking for something, accompanied by some tinkling sounds.
Jun Qi was not unfamiliar with this scene at all, because he probably knew what the little guy was looking for, but she usually threw everything around and piled it together, so she had to spend a lot of energy when searching.
Go find it.
But, doesn’t Xu Qiaoqiao know this problem of hers?
No, on the contrary, she knew it quite well.
Moreover, there is no intention to correct it.
"|..." When Jun Qi saw the little guy like this, he knew that the thing was easy to find, so he lay down lazily, resting his chin on his forelimbs, yawned lazily, and planned to rest first.
all of a sudden.
When the two of them came back, noon had already passed, and it was already afternoon. The sun was finally willing to peek out from behind the clouds. Warm light sparsely sprinkled down from the gaps in the leaves, and flying dust was dancing.
"Hey." Junjun, I found it. Let's go quickly.
Xu Qiaoqiao ran over with the multi-functional tool, shouted into his ear, then patted his head, quickly jumped on his back, and stabilized his body.
Sure enough, three seconds later, Jun Qi opened his eyes. After feeling the weight on his back, he knew that the little guy had found someone to eat.
Great, now you can go hunting.
The water level in the rivers has dropped a lot recently. Some of the shallower rivers are almost out of water. There is only some moist soil at the bottom. If it rolls down accidentally, it will turn into a mud monkey.
There are many animals in the tropical rainforest, and as the jaguar, the top of the food chain, naturally has many types of food to choose from.
Jun Qi doesn't like to eat poisonous things, let alone touch them.
He also didn't like Xu Qiaoqiao to touch her, just like last time.
In the Amazon rainforest, there are dangers everywhere that can kill people every moment, such as all kinds of strange plants and those inconspicuous, small animals with very bright colors.
These things all require careful attention.
Just a week ago, after Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi had filled their stomachs, they walked lazily together and took a walk to eat. Today, the two of them went to a relatively spacious river with a strong current and caught a very fat and meaty fish.
Delicious fish.
A jaguar and an otter worked hard to kill the big fish.
The bones were kicked into the river by Xu Qiaoqiao.
The mud on the shore was also very wet. When I stepped on it with my paw, I felt that most of it was sunk in. Xu Qiaoqiao didn't like this look, not to mention that her walking posture was not very good, and her tail was trailing behind her.
.
If this is the case, then by the time she goes back, she will probably be covered in mud in many places.
After leaving the shore, Jun Qi leaned down slightly. Xu Qiaoqiao understood, twisted around, and jumped off him, stepping on the solid soil under his feet, feeling very safe.
"嘤嘤嘤."
Xu Qiaoqiao shouted a few meaningless words at Jun Qi, and Jun Qi also whispered a few words at her, lowered his head, and arched the tip of his nose against the little guy's head.
Xu Qiaoqiao accidentally raised her head and her chin was touched by the tip of Jun Qi's nose. With a little force from the opponent, her lower body became unstable, and she fell to the side with a snap.
The body's subconscious reaction was far faster than the brain's instructions. Xu Qiaoqiao rolled around on the ground, and many of the hairs on her body that were originally smooth exploded. She sat on the ground, her head rolled around just now, and she had just filled it.
With a full stomach, I didn't want to do any mental activity at all, so I looked dull for a while.
"Huh?" The little guy raised his head, faced himself, and called out pitifully.
Jun Qi blinked, his eyes full of tenderness. This was a look that would surprise even him if he saw it. There was tenderness in his emerald-like eyes.
Hmm... this little guy is so cute.
With this thought in mind, Jun Qi stretched out his paws, touched the hair on her head, and straightened it out for her.
Half a minute passed...
Xu Qiaoqiao reacted. She looked down at herself. She was covered in a lot of mud. She blinked her eyes and pursed her lips. She began to feel a little unhappy.
——Ahhh! It took so much effort to straighten out the hair that was so clean!
