In the middle of the night, the rain finally stopped, and Li Chaoyang was woken up by a low roar of animals, turned over and sat up.

The fire was about to burn out, Li Chaoyang hurriedly gathered the firewood together, and then he glanced at his watch and it was only twelve o'clock in the evening.

The moon had come out, and the silver moonlight had fallen to the ground through the hole.

When Li Chaoyang came to the entrance of the cave and looked out through the gap in the fence, he saw that the whole world had returned to calm, the rainstorm had disappeared, and the breeze was blowing.

The island looked a little strange in the moonlight, and there was a sense of slaughter in the air.

In the clearing below the cliff, several black figures were circling a huge wild boar, and it was actually several timberwolves.

Li Chaoyang counted a total of five forest wolves, the size of these wolves is much smaller than ordinary wolves, the wild boar surrounded by them is two meters long, at least half a ton in weight, this guy lowered his head and roared, tired and panting, its legs seemed to be injured, and it limped when it walked.

The boar's body size is larger than the five timberwolves combined, the thick fur is full of manes, the long fangs are full of primitive domineering power, as long as it is pushed up, the skin and flesh will be cracked, and the heavy will die, the wild boar is never a domestic animal to be slaughtered, but a fierce and brutal beast.

In order to survive, they will not hesitate to kill any opponent. Even lions and tigers must be cautious in front of wild boars, and the slightest mistake will pay a heavy price.

The timberwolves didn't seem to be in a hurry to attack, they just slowly circled the boar, letting out a menacing growl from their mouths, over and over again.

When Li Chaoyang was in Hoh Xili, he had seen steppe wolves, those guys had been galloping on the wild plateau for a long time, in order to survive, they came in groups of three or five, acting collectively, relying on physical strength and teamwork, they could often hunt yaks, Tibetan wild asses, and even brown bears several times larger than themselves.

These timberwolves are clearly experts at this, driving wild boars from the dense woods to the bottom of the cliffs, cornering them.

The wild boar will inevitably fight to the death, and the attack will inevitably pay a price.

So these guys choose to besiege but not attack, they surround but not attack, constantly consuming the willpower and physical strength of the wild boar, the wild boar is huge, the endurance is far inferior to the timberwolf, the wild boar always has a time when the physical strength is exhausted, and when the wild boar can no longer stand up, then its death is not far away.

However, the truth was not what Li Chaoyang thought, and these timberwolves soon attacked.

The wolves suddenly moved faster, and they began to run around the boar, faster and faster, until a few fast-moving black shadows remained. The obese boar was already moving slowly, and now it was completely dizzy and couldn't find its target.

In an instant, a timber wolf suddenly came out of the pack, flew to the back of the wild boar, and bit the weakest ear of the wild boar.

The boar let out a terrible scream, and it struggled to shake off the timberwolf on its head.

But immediately another timber wolf came out, and this wolf attacked even more ferociously, clinging to the ground and suddenly came to the boar, and its sharp claws scratched the boar's eyes.

A heart-rending scream sounded, and the wild boar rushed out like crazy, but as soon as it showed its back, two timberwolves jumped on the back of the wild boar and frantically gnawed on the boar's back muscles.

Immediately after that, several more timberwolves pounced and bit the boar's hind legs.

No matter how strong the wild boar is, it can't withstand such a dense attack, and just as it was about to run into the grass, another timberwolf suddenly came out, instantly hugged the wild boar's head, and its sharp claws kept scratching the boar's eyes.

An even more terrible scream rang out, the boar's eyes were bloody, both of its eyes were gouged out, and it turned around and ran back, its speed was like a heavy tank running wildly, and the timberwolves on its back were thrown off.

This round of attacks on the timberwolves left several huge cuts in the boar's back, and these guys actually ripped the boar's flesh off.

The boar was completely invisible, crashing headlong into the cliff, reacting extremely quickly, twisting its body and letting out a menacing growl.

The Timberwolves no longer attacked, but surrounded the boar and kept their distance.

Li Chaoyang didn't dare to breathe when he saw the atmosphere, he once again saw the team wisdom of wolves, they are not strong alone, they are not as fast as cheetahs, the ferocity of tigers, and their body shape is not as good as lions and brown bears, but they are extremely skilled in teamwork, they know when to attack and when to retreat, they are simply a killing machine.

At this moment, Li Chaoyang suddenly heard a rustling sound, this sound was very close, and it was getting closer and closer, it seemed that something was approaching.

He subconsciously slowly raised his hand, picked up the carbine, and saw a dark figure slowly walking to the fence.

It was a huge timberwolf, at least twice the size of the wolves below, and it kept sniffing at the fence with its head down.

Li Chaoyang's nerves were tense, and he slowly dialed the insurance, and the whole person was like a sculpture and didn't dare to move.

He clearly remembered that the platforms on both sides were blocked, so when did this guy come up? How did you get up?

Look at the five wolves below.

What's the origin of this guy? Later predators or are they in a gang?

The wolves below sensed the presence of the giant wolf and took two steps back.

The giant wolf sniffed the fence, Li Chaoyang could clearly smell the choking smell on its body, the straight-line distance between a person and a wolf was not more than twenty centimeters, the muzzle of the carbine was aimed at the head of the giant wolf, as long as it went a little further, Li Chaoyang would not hesitate to pull the trigger.

Li Chaoyang doesn't want to start a war with them, wolves are grudge-bearing animals, once they identify the opponent, they will not die, just like chasing wild boars, they will always follow behind until Li Chaoyang's consciousness collapses and completely gives up resistance.

Suddenly, as if smelling something special, the giant wolf immediately took two steps back, and slowly grinned and showed its sharp fangs.

This is a red flag, a demonstration.

Clearly, the giant wolf sensed the danger.

Li Chaoyang chuckled in his heart, was he discovered?

Shouldn't it, I didn't breathe just now, could it be the smell of my body?

But soon Li Chaoyang denied this opinion, the gunpowder he burned before still emitted the smell of gunpowder, and the giant wolf must have smelled this smell.

Why is the giant wolf so hostile to the smell of gunpowder?

Could it be that they have encountered humans before?

Elysium is a stone's throw away, and this is a place for pirates, so it's not uncommon for humans to appear.

Li Chaoyang's guess was immediately verified, and he found a metal collar around the neck of the giant wolf!

It turns out that this creature has been captured before, and it has a deeper understanding of humanity, and the familiar smell of gunpowder seems to stir up memories of its past.

Instinct drove it into an offensive stance.

Li Chaoyang's insurance is completely open, and if there is no way to avoid it, he can only fight.

Both sides are waiting for a stalemate, both waiting for the other side's reaction.

Time slowed down at this moment.

But in a moment, the boar screamed again, a sound that was like a signal to the hunters of the island that there was a wounded prey at their fingertips.

The giant wolf no longer cared about Li Chaoyang, and suddenly jumped off the platform, opening his mouth and biting his neck fiercely.

The other timberwolves attacked almost simultaneously, grabbing the boar's four legs and tail.

This tactic is very similar to the killing of pigs in the countryside.

The difference is that except for the giant wolf, the other wolves are pulling out.

The fangs of the giant wolf bit through the cervical vertebrae of the wild boar, which was densely nerve-dense and controlled and coordinated the movement of the limbs, and this blow caused the wild boar's mobility to be greatly hit, and the limbs were weak and lay on the ground.

To fall is to die.

Other wild boars swarmed up, some biting their mouths, some biting their ears, and some tearing open the boar's stomach and pulling out the boar's internal organs.

The boar was completely ineffective, and only a low grunt remained.

The wolf let go of the boar and tore it down.

A thrilling battle is over.

Li Chaoyang finally understood, it turned out that this mountain cliff was the hunting ground of the timber wolves, and that trail was left by them to drive away the prey.

The prey is forced to retreat under the cliff, and the giant wolf that lurks on the platform early while it is exhausted will strike a fatal blow.

Li Chaoyang's cave was directly above the hunting ground, and they inadvertently broke into the territory of the timberwolves.

In order to hunt timberwolves, they will never give up their hunting grounds, and similarly, Li Chaoyang will not back down.

A new round of fighting has begun.

"Huhuhu......"

A few black figures swept across the night sky and stopped on the opposite tree, which were several huge birds of prey, with a wingspan of at least two meters, squatting on the tree more than a meter high, like a few adults standing.

Li Chaoyang immediately thought of the vultures on the cruise ship, and at that time he deduced that there must be land nearby.

Vultures can fly thousands of kilometers to prey, and it now seems likely that this is the island where they land.

These creatures have an extremely powerful sense of smell and vision, and can smell carrion from kilometers away, and the smell of wild boar blood stimulates their nerves and attracts them.

Several birds of prey fell, and the shrugging of their necks was clearly a vulture.

The few that didn't go down from the tree were obviously different, they were larger than vultures, and they were probably super large birds of prey such as golden eagles.

Vultures are notoriously bold, and these guys stoop their bodies to snatch the boar's internal organs when they see an opportunity.

The timberwolves pounced on them and flickered their wings and ran away, and as soon as they ran on one side, the other vultures rushed over again, grabbed a piece of entrail and ran out.

Not to mention wolves, even Africa's famous hyena and lion colonies can't stop them.

Suddenly, the beasts that were still eating raised their heads and stopped, and the golden eagles and vultures took off and disappeared.

The giant wolf looked into the depths of the forest and roared twice and took the lead, followed by the other timberwolves, and in the blink of an eye, they burrowed into the woods.

The whole world suddenly became quieter.

But that doesn't mean they're safe, and there's only one possibility for them to suddenly disappear, and that's a more powerful predator coming.

Under the bright moonlight, a huge forest snake slowly crawled out, its body as thick as a bucket moved, the small trees with thick bowls were squeezed with a clattering sound, and its huge tongue pressed against the ground and approached the wild boar unhurriedly.

Compared to the forest snake that Li Chaoyang and they encountered during the day, it was so powerful that it didn't need any vigilance, it was not in a hurry, and it completely ignored everything around it.

This is probably the most apex predator on the island.

Even the mighty wolves should stay away.

The worm twisted its neck and staggered its mandible, the sound was clearly visible, its mouth opened wider and wider, and finally it was larger than its entire body, and it twisted its body to bite the boar's head, and then swallowed it inch by inch.

The snake ate slowly, but it was shocking, and the huge boar was swallowed whole, and the middle of the snake was like a balloon that was inflated.

After eating the wild boar, the forest python climbed into the woods unhurriedly.

After eating such a big prey, it will find a quiet place to digest slowly without eating or drinking, the short one takes a week, and the long one is ten days and half a month. Slow digestion is also one of the reasons why things like the forest beetle survive.

The forest snake was gone, and Li Chaoyang moved some sore arms and lay on the ground, his back was already sweaty.

It was the first time he had seen such a shocking scene in all his years of adventure.

The praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches behind, and the food chains are interlocked, and the cave they live in is actually a Shura field.

I'm afraid that such a scene will be staged again in the future.

Compared with the forest python, Li Chaoyang was even more afraid of the giant wolf.

Apparently it had sensed the danger, and had to reinforce both sections of the platform after dawn, while cutting off the vines under the hole to prevent them from climbing up again.
