Chapter Five Hundred and Seventy Seven - Otters and Jaguars
As Qiao Qiao expected, the water level in the river has been rising very quickly these days, especially the rainfall in the past few days is also very high, the water flow is turbulent, and it looks very dangerous.
When you walk to the edge of the river, you can still feel the coolness brought by the erosion of the water. Xu Qiaoqiao carefully poked out his claws and reached into the water.
Hey, it's cold.
But it's very comfortable.
Xu Qiaoqiao narrowed her eyes slightly, then she looked at Jun Qi, and the other party slapped it with one paw, rubbed Xu Qiaoqiao's head, then called a few times, signaling that she was going to find food.
Xu Qiaoqiao grabbed Jun Qi's little claws and smiled slightly, paying attention to safety.
"Jiji."
Jun Qi quickly jumped into the river and followed the trend of the water flow. It seemed that his idea was the same as Xu Qiaoqiao, and he also wanted to catch fish. After all, the water level rose, so there must be more fish coming.
The two of them have not come to find food in the river these days. They eat a wild boar, and the meat on their bodies is very fat and solid. Xu Qiaoqiao and Junqi have eaten for several days, and this is when they are very full.
Finally, the wild boar's skeleton was buried by Xu Qiaoqiao.
Well... Since Junjun is going to catch fish, does she still need to catch it?
Xu Qiaoqiao thought for three seconds and probably didn't need it. Although she has grown taller and grown a lot in the past six months, her appetite has not increased so much. The two of them still have Junjun to eat more.
If you can't finish the food, you will have to take time to bring it back. This is not OK. It's a waste of effort. And they have to find those two "guests" after filling their stomachs.
After thinking it through, Xu Qiaoqiao relaxed. She lay on the shore, her front paws reached into the water, and circled around the curve. The water flow was created by her.
Almost half an hour later, Xu Qiaoqiao saw Jun Qi's figure. He was running towards her with an animal in his arms. He had already arrived ashore. Obviously, the water flow was very fast. If he went up against the current, it would take a lot of effort.
Jun Qi seemed to know that it was difficult, not to mention that he was dragging his own food, so Jun Qi directly chose to swim to the shore and go ashore first.
Xu Qiaoqiao narrowed her eyes and looked at Jun Qi's figure running over and the animal in her mouth. She looked... Uh, it looked obviously not a fish. Xu Qiaoqiao blinked her eyes a few times to tell what animal it was. This seemed to be the first time she had seen such an animal.
"Yeah?" What is this?
When Jun Qi ran over with the animal in his arms, Xu Qiaoqiao slightly straightened his upper body and shouted at Jun Qi.
After Jun Qi ran to Xu Qiaoqiao, he lowered the animal in his mouth and licked his two claws. Xu Qiaoqiao was still waiting for his answer, but it seemed that he had not heard his own question, because the sound of the water flowed dispersed her screams.
Moreover, the distance between the two sides was a bit far before, and the question she just asked was subconsciously.
"Yeah?" Junjun, what is this?
Xu Qiaoqiao simply repeated the previous words again. She patted the guy who was brought over by Jun Qi, looking very curious. This was the first time she had seen this animal, and it looked really ugly.
Like... a manatee?
It's a manatee.
Are there manatees in the Amazon rainforest?
Incredible?
After Xu Qiaoqiao confirmed, he looked at Jun Qi with a dull look, Jun Jun, how far have you swam? You can catch a manatee, or is it actually this guy who got into trouble?
Most manatees live in warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean, usually in shallow seas and estuaries, and rarely inhabit rivers.
So, this guy is in a mess.
And, how far Junqi has swam? He was following the river water to the downstream. The speed was fast, but Xu Qiaoqiao is not sure. How far Junqi has swam?
However... this is the result of the efforts of both parties.
hey-hey.
Xu Qiaoqiao patted the manatee. The meat on her body was very solid, and you could tell just by listening to the sound. After the initial surprise, she was very satisfied with the food. Although it was not a fish, this was also the first time she had eaten a 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 animal he had never seen before.
In addition, the animal moves very slowly.
Isn’t this just for him to eat?
There are also piranhas in the water. They usually don’t attack them, but they may not be able to do so if they are hungry. Anyway, if he doesn’t eat, he will catch them for other guys.
At this moment, the raindrops began to fall and it started to rain.
It's really a bad time to rain, they're all going to have a meal.
Xu Qiaoqiao suddenly felt a little unhappy. She had known that she would have woken up Junjun early, so that the meal time would be earlier, or when Junjun was asleep, she would go to hunt secretly. It would be not bad to see her current state.
Well, I decided, let's do it next time.
Jun Qi didn't seem to be much affected. He licked his lips clean, then lowered his head and rubbed the guy's forehead, then picked up the manatee again, walking on the way back and forth, after walking a few steps, he turned his head and looked at Xu Qiaoqiao.
——Come on.
After that, he walked forward very coldly.
Xu Qiaoqiao hurriedly got up from the ground, wiped his hands, patted his stomach, ran forward dazzled, and tried to keep up with Jun Qi's pace.
Junjun, wait for me, no, it should be that we should leave quickly, the rain is getting heavier and heavier.
...
On the other side, Peter and Ed, they also guessed that it would rain today, so when they were familiar with this area, they also found a slightly flat place, cleared the bushes there, and started to set up a tent, just as it was set up, it rained.
"Oh, this rain is so fast. I haven't photographed anything today?" Peter said with regret. He hasn't taken a few steps. It seems that the season I chose is not very good.
It should be a few more months.
Ed was debugging his instruments. After hearing what his companions said, he smiled and said, "Three months is enough for us to take a lot of things. I remember the poachers who were caught near here before. They said that in this area, there seemed to be a particularly powerful jaguar."
"Are you the ones who also threw their little otter here?" Peter seemed very interested. He seemed to have read this report. The poacher Buck was obviously a habitual offender, and they were also unlucky.
Who knew that the boat was under the boat was leaking, and the boat I was looking for was not lucky. The boatman had read his wanted order and was also smart. He first reduced their vigilance, and then found a suitable time point and reported it directly.
When they got ashore, they were caught.
"Yes, they are them, so we can't sleep too well at night. Jaguars are more active animals at night, so be more careful." Ed nodded, his hands keeping movements.
Peter said "hmm", knowing the seriousness of this kind of thing, so he 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.
It looks very relaxed.
