Chapter 27 - Dangerous Creatures

Shi Yu stopped to take a closer look. It turned out to be a foraging elk.

He was overjoyed. After all, the elk's skin was hot in this weather. Immediately, two silver-white playing cards appeared on Shi Yu's fingertips.

As soon as the two cards flew out, the elk instantly sensed the danger, but it was too late. One of the playing cards went into its throat, while the other into its leg.

The elk stumbled a few steps before it fell to the ground and was pulled out. Shi Yu saw this and quickly walked over to end its life with a dagger. He put away the cards.

He had to cut up the elk's body as soon as possible, or the smell of blood would attract more predators.

Shi Yu carefully cut off the elk's skin with the dagger, taking with him two of the two elk's legs and liver and leaving. Bringing more food would only add weight and affect speed.

The liver was rich in heat and energy, so Shi Yu also took it with him. He used a bandage to tie up the two elk's legs and carried them with his hands. The liver was placed alone, and Shi Yu once again walked into the depths of the forest.

Just after Shi Yu left, a few people with a few hounds started chasing him. They saw the fire on the ground that had been watered out. Seeing that the marks on the trees were very new, the hounds barked a few times and ran forward. The few of them looked at each other. They turned on the safety of the rifles in their hands.

These people suspected that Shi Yu was not dead and chased him to the Yamabin Forest. Sure enough, they saw traces of people living here. They were even more confident that this was the place where Shi Yu had stayed.

The Hounds ran to the front and started to bite at a corpse. They saw a skinned elk lying there, watching the flies fall onto the elk meat.

One of them walked forward and touched the elk's corpse. Still warm, it seemed Shi Yu must've killed it not long ago. Because his clothes were left in the car, he had to take off the elk's skin to keep warm.

The hounds quickly chased after him. Shi Yu was walking deep into the forest when he suddenly heard a few weak dog barks. He stopped and listened carefully. He felt that there was indeed someone chasing after him.

Shi Yu looked around and bit the bandage in his hand on his mouth. He looked at the towering tree in front of him and climbed up. Just as he hid between the branches, he saw the hounds roaring and chasing after him.

After climbing for more than ten meters, the white fog gradually covered him. Shi Yu drilled into the dense branches and held his breath under cover of the branches. It seemed that the blood smell of the elk meat in his hands had caused the hounds to chase after him.

Then, the few, led by the hounds, chased after him. Seeing the hounds barking before them, they determined that Shi Yu did not run far, so they continued the chase.

After a while, Shi Yu, who was just about to come down, saw the few of them return the same way and looked around.

"D*mn it! How did we lose them! We returned the same way and carefully looked at the traces he left behind."

Seeing the people under the tree walk further away, Shi Yu slowly climbed down from the tree. It would be easy for him to kill them, but it would mean that he was in the forest if he killed them.

At that time, he would've been outside the forest, and it would have been difficult for him to escape.

Shi Yu, who had returned to the ground, began to move forward quickly, going deeper into the forest as soon as possible. Only when they reached the depths of the forest would they give up on the chase.

Shi Yu held the elk's leg and liver in his hands as he quickly trudged through the forest covered in white fog. By noon, the sun dispersed the white fog in the woods, and his physical strength had been severely exhausted.

He stopped and found a place with a slope on the back, then hung the elk's leg and sleeping bag on a tree branch to ensure that the wild beasts would not eat his food. Then, Shi Yu went to look for water nearby.

He was probably deep in the forest now. After taking a deep breath, he felt that the air was getting more and more humid. It was getting increasingly difficult to find combustibles.

Finally, Shi Yu found a pool, but it was filled with dried leaves and muddy. However, after a morning of running around, Shi Yu urgently needed to replenish water.

Looking at the water in the pool, he licked his dry lips and left the place, wanting to see if there was another source of water.

Since he saw the elk in the forest in the morning, there had to be a large amount of water nearby to keep these animals alive. It was just that he had not found it yet.

After searching again, Shi Yu took the liver and continued to walk forward. The branches of the towering tree above his head blocked a large amount of sunlight.

Finally, after climbing over a tree that had been scorched black by lightning, Shi Yu found a pool in front of him. Strangely, the surroundings were strangely quiet. Not a single animal came to the pool to drink.

Although Shi Yu was extremely eager to rush over and gulp big mouthfuls of water, he still resisted the urge.

He found a long branch nearby and cut off a piece of the liver he had brought with him. He stuck it on the branch and stretched it towards the pool, placing it beside the pool.

He wanted to see why no animals came over. Logically, the smell of blood from the liver would definitely attract the surrounding carnivores.

Not long after, Shi Yu saw a brown spider about the size of a fist. With eight furry legs, it crawled to the side of the pool and slowly approached the liver.

Looking closely, Shi Yu recognized the giant spider. It lived in subtropical and tropical rainforests. It was capable of biting its victims with its poisonous fangs and consuming them later.

One bite from this spider would definitely kill.

But just as the giant spider was about to approach the liver, a wave slowly appeared in the water. A pair of eyes were staring at the spider, slowly approaching it from the water.

After the spider took the liver, it was ready to leave, but at this time, the pair of eyes in the water gradually appeared. It was a giant boa.

The boa constrictor was a larger snake than the average, and its whole body was divided into three parts. The head and the tail were separated by the neck, with an almost unnoticeable boundary between its head and body. The head and the tail were separated by the anal cavity, and the whole body was covered with scales. It had a body as long as a tube, about 10 meters long, and most were distributed in the Amazon rainforest.

The boa constrictor's head suddenly moved and clamped on the spider, its body slowly contracting and rolling up. Not willing to be outdone, the giant spider bit the flesh of the giant boa.

The two animals were wasting time. The giant spider was waiting for the big boa to be poisoned to death. The giant boa used the giant spider's every breath to tighten its body and roll it to death.

When the two giants of the animal world collided, Shi Yu, who was in the bushes, saw this scene, and his pupils could not help but contract. He sighed that his vigilance was correct.

If he had not tested his vigilance, he might have been the one the boa constrictor would be talking about.
