Chapter Five Hundred and Seventy Seven - Otters and Jaguars
Indeed, as Xu Qiaoqiao had expected, the water level in the river had risen very quickly in the past few days, especially with heavy rainfall in the past few days, and the water flow was turbulent and looked dangerous.
When he walked to the edge of the river, he could still feel the coolness brought by the rushing water. Xu Qiaoqiao carefully stretched out his paws and stretched them into the water.
Hey, it's ice cold.
But very comfortable.
Xu Qiaoqiao narrowed her eyes slightly, then she looked at Jun Qi, who clapped his paw down, rubbed Xu Qiaoqiao's head, and then barked a few times to signal that she was going to find food.
Xu Qiaoqiao scratched her little paws at Jun Qi and smiled slightly, please be safe.
"Chirp."
Jun Qi quickly jumped into the river and followed the trend of the current. It seemed that he had the same idea as Xu Qiaoqiao, and he also wanted to fish. After all, the water level had risen, and there would definitely be more fish coming over.
.
The two of them had not come to look for food in the river for the past few days. What they ate was a wild boar. The meat on its body was very fat and solid. Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi ate for several days. This was after the two of them ate very much.
When you are full.
Finally, Xu Qiaoqiao found a place to bury the wild boar's bones.
Hmm...since Junjun is going to catch fish, does she still need to catch it?
Xu Qiaoqiao thought for three seconds and realized that it probably wasn't necessary. Although she had grown taller in the past six months or so, her food intake had not increased that much. Junjun still ate more of the two of them.
If the food is not finished by then, it will take time to take it back. This is not good, it is a waste of energy, and after the two of them have filled their stomachs, they still have to find the two "guests".
After thinking about it clearly, Xu Qiaoqiao relaxed. She lay on the bank, stretched her two front paws into the water, and twisted around, causing the water flow to create a small whirlpool.
Almost half an hour later, Xu Qiaoqiao saw Jun Qi's figure. He was running toward her with an animal in his mouth. He had already landed on the shore. It was obvious that the water flow was very fast. If he went upstream, it would take a long time.
A lot of strength.
Jun Qi seemed to know that this was very difficult, not to mention that he was still dragging his own food, so Jun Qi directly chose to swim to the shore and go ashore first.
Xu Qiaoqiao squinted her eyes and looked at Jun Qi's running figure and the animal in his mouth. It looked...well, it looked obviously not a fish. Xu Qiaoqiao blinked a few times to identify what kind of animal it was.
It seemed like it was her first time seeing this kind of animal.
"嘤嘤嘤?" What is this?
When Jun Qi ran over with the animal in his mouth, Xu Qiaoqiao straightened up her upper body slightly and shouted at Jun Qi.
After Jun Qi ran to Xu Qiaoqiao, he put down the animal in his mouth and licked his two paws at the same time. Xu Qiaoqiao was still waiting for his answer, but it seemed that he did not hear his question, because the water flow
Her screams were dispersed by the sound of his voice.
Also, the distance between the two parties was a bit far before, so the question she just asked was subconscious.
"嘤嘤嘤?" Junjun, what is this?
Xu Qiaoqiao simply repeated what she said before. She patted the guy that Jun Qi had picked up and looked very curious. This was the first time she had seen this kind of animal. It looked really ugly.
Like...a manatee?
It's a manatee, right?
Are there manatees in the Amazon rainforest?
Unbelievable?
After Xu Qiaoqiao was sure, she looked at Jun Qi with dull eyes, Junjun, how far did you swim to catch the manatee, or was this guy actually intruding?
Manatees mostly live in the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean, usually in shallow seas and estuaries, and rarely inhabit rivers.
So, this guy must have gotten in.
And, how far did Jun Qi swim? He was swimming downstream along the river, so his speed was fast. In fact, Xu Qiaoqiao couldn't tell how far Jun Qi had swam.
However... this is the result of the efforts of both parties.
hey-hey.
Xu Qiaoqiao patted the manatee. The meat on its body was very solid, and she could tell just by listening to the sound. After the initial surprise passed, she was very satisfied with the food. Although it was not fish, this was her first time eating manatee.
Jun Qi was not as excited as Xu Qiaoqiao. When he was swimming in the water, he saw this guy and felt that he had a lot of meat on his body. In addition, the little guy was still waiting for him, so he simply chose this one he had never seen before.
Animals.
In addition, this animal moves very slowly.
Isn't this just food reserved for him?
There are also piranhas in the water. They usually don't attack on their own initiative, but that doesn't necessarily happen if they are starving. Anyway, if they don't eat, they will be caught by other guys.
At this time, the raindrops began to fall and it started to rain.
It was raining at the wrong time. They were about to start dinner.
Xu Qiaoqiao suddenly felt a little unhappy. If she had known earlier, she would have woken up Junjun earlier, so that the meal time could be earlier, or she could secretly go hunting while Junjun was asleep. In her current state, it was not impossible.
Well, I decided, let’s do it next time.
Jun Qi didn't seem to be affected much. He licked his lips clean, then lowered his head to rub the guy's forehead, and then picked up the manatee again. He walked a few times on the way back and forth.
After taking a step, he turned to look at Xu Qiaoqiao again.
——Follow up.
Then he walked forward very coldly.
Xu Qiaoqiao quickly got up from the ground, wiped her hands, patted her belly, and ran forward, trying hard to keep up with Jun Qi.
Junjun, wait for me, no, no, we should leave quickly, the rain is getting heavier.
…
On the other side, Peter and Ed also guessed that it would rain today, so when they got familiar with this area, they also found a slightly flat place and cleared away the bushes there.
We started to set up the tent, and just as the tent was set up, it started to rain.
"Oh, it's raining so fast. I haven't taken any pictures today?" Peter said with some regret. He had only taken a few steps. It seems that the season chosen was not very good.
It should be in a few months.
Ed was debugging his instrument. After hearing what his companion said, he smiled and said: "Three months is enough for us to take a lot of pictures. I remember the poachers who were caught near here before. They
They say there seems to be a particularly powerful jaguar in this area."
"Is it those people who also left their captured little otters here?" Peter looked very interested. He seemed to have read this report. The captured poacher Buck was obviously a habitual offender.
, and it’s also their bad luck.
Who knew that the bottom of the boat he was driving was leaking, and the boat he found on the way was also unlucky. The boatman had seen his wanted notice, and he was also smart. He first lowered their vigilance, and then found a suitable time to call him directly.
Reported.
When they land, they will be caught directly.
"Yes, it's them, so we can't sleep too deeply at night. Jaguars are more active animals at night, so we need to be more careful." Ed nodded and kept moving his hands.
Peter said "Yeah", knowing the seriousness of this kind of thing, and put away his casual attitude.
Over there, Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi dragged the manatee under a big tree. Fortunately, it was just raining tonight and there was no thunder. By the time Xu Qiaoqiao ran to Jun Qi, he was already tearing the manatee apart.
