Chapter 18: The Rusty Ocelot

The Shrike, a medium-sized predatory bird, also known as the butcher of birds, is nature's most famous master of making air-dried bacon.

The shrike is fierce and aggressive by nature, and the recipe covers a wide range, from insects and lizards to beast birds and birds, as long as they are not too different in size, they are all within the range of the creature's hunting.

The most famous thing about the shrike is its ferocious hunting method, which will wear the captured prey on the thorny spikes, and then use the beak to tear the prey apart little by little and devour it.

In this brutal process, even some of the prey is not dead, and the shrike will first break their spine to ensure that they have no ability to resist, and then intersperse it with spikes, so that the prey can watch itself slowly and slowly swallowed in a conscious state.

In addition to the above, the shrike, like the squirrel, has the habit of hoarding food, but the squirrel hoards all kinds of nuts, and the shrike hoards a large number of animal carcasses.

Because of the need for frequent eating, they are keen to kill, and hang their uneaten prey on the spikes of tall branches, which is convenient to eat at any time and reduces the pressure of hunting; Second, the corpses in high places are rarely eaten by animals, and can be slowly dried to prolong the preservation time of meat.

Where Xu Yue is now, there is a high probability that it is the granary where the shrike bird stores food, but this granary looks a little bloody.

Standing on a branch in the southeast corner of the tree, Xu Yue swept over the animal corpses hanging from the canopy in turn, especially the three contractor corpses paused for a long time, his eyes flickering slightly.

Before, because he was at a high altitude, he didn't release his perception to probe the attributes of the giant bird, so as not to cause the breath to leak out, but at this moment, judging from the size and aura of these prey in front of him, although the shrike bird as the owner of the granary was powerful, it did not reach the point where Xu Yue could not reach it, that is, he could do it.

This kind of strong and ferocious creature, whether it is used as a fire food or as a melting soul, is an excellent choice, it is very helpful for his strength to improve, and he is here, just let him leave directly, he is not very willing.

Thinking of this, he took out the Eye of Manifestation and a small glasses case from the small fanny pack he had with him.

Needless to say, he directly placed it in a corner of the canopy, as for the glasses case, this is also a reconnaissance prop purchased from Cybertech Machinery, with a green quality of 15 ratings and a sincere benefit of 2400 Paradise Coins.

In the glasses case was an ordinary-looking black half-rimmed glasses, Xu Yue took them out and put them on, and then raised his hand and clicked on the tiny button on the right frame.

In the next second, several miniature monitors the size of floaters suddenly flew out of the glasses case, and in the 'buzzing' sound of wings, the floaters quickly dispersed, and several additional perspectives appeared on Xu Yue's lenses.

After doing all this, he Shi Ran returned to the abdomen of the giant snake, the huge body of the giant snake can perfectly hide his breath, coupled with the perspective support provided by the half-rimmed glasses, this has formed a good advantage of the enemy and the enemy, and then he just needs to wait for the shrike bird to return again.

Returning to the abdominal cavity, Xu Yue first summoned the earth tower shield to isolate the flesh wall that had been burned into char by the flames, and then sat cross-legged on the tower shield, took out the magic mirror body and began to transmit mana.

Taking advantage of this time, he happened to teleport Ah Fu over, and now it has been less than 20 minutes since they were separated, and Ah Fu, who has two puppets by his side, should have no problem protecting himself.

With the loss of mana in the body, the magic mirror continued to enlarge in front of him.

…………

At the same time, in the dense forest on the other side of the island, Ah Fu is riding a squirrel through the canopy forest for a while, and behind him is a rusty spotted leopard cat in hot pursuit, although the size has reached three meters, but the agility of the leopard cat is extremely exaggerated, and when jumping in the branches of the forest, the body is stretched out, the speed is extremely fast, and there is no bulky state.

Feeling another gust of evil wind behind him, Ah Fu, who was sitting on the back of the squirrel's neck, sighed, and quickly rotated his head 180 degrees, the two pairs of eyes were inevitably intertwined, Ah Fu's eyes flashed with blood, and the leopard cat behind his eyes were scattered, his body stiffened, and the claws that grabbed the squirrel's back couldn't help but deflect the direction.

Sharp fingernails cut through the squirrel's thick and furry tail, and only a slight touch, two-thirds of the tail broke immediately, and the blood flowed instantly.

The tail was hit hard, but the squirrel seemed to be unconscious, and its body did not react to the pain, but the speed of its escape increased again, and the ocelot gradually distanced itself from the stagnant state behind it.

Seeing that he was temporarily out of pursuit, Ah Fu breathed a sigh of relief, and then straightened his head, and then reached out to wipe away the dull blood flowing from the corners of his eyes, which was the sequelae of the 'Demon Capture' used too many times.

Along the way, he used the squirrel's agility to run between the treetops, and successfully got rid of the cyan python and the yellow-brown giant scorpion, but in the end, the ocelot couldn't get rid of it.

Obviously it is a creature on land, but the speed of the other party's jumping and chasing in the Zhiya Forest is stronger than that of a squirrel, if it weren't for his frequent 'demon capture' to open the distance, I am afraid it would have become the food on the plate of this ocelot.

Even though he seemed to have escaped the pursuit now, Ah Fu's face did not relax at all, and he knew in his heart that it would not be long before the ocelot would chase it back.

What's even more deadly is that his remaining mana is only enough to use one 'Demon Capture', that is, he is just surviving now, and maybe the next time he is caught up, it will be the moment when he dies.

Thinking of this, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Ah Fu's eyes, and he gently patted the squirrel under him, and the other party's bleeding tail suddenly became wooden, and there was no blood outflow.

"Since you can't run away, let's fight to the death."

…………

Behind, less than a second later, the ocelot broke away from its state of mental confusion, licked the blood stained on the cat's paws, and narrowed its round eyes.

Without rushing to pursue, the ocelot stretched its forelimbs and raised its hind hips, and after stretching an extremely comfortable waist, it sniffed its nose and quickly chased after the squirrel remnants.

This time the chase battle, it had a lot of fun, and it didn't want to end so soon for the time being.

The rusty spotted leopard cat, the smallest cat in the world, is only the size of a palm in size, and a fallen leaf covers its whole body, looking pocket-sized and cute.

But even this creature of such a small size has a bite force comparable to that of a lion tiger, and its temperament is even more ferocious and abnormal.

Its eyesight is 6 times that of humans, its sense of smell can recognize 1 billion kinds of creatures, and its sense of hearing can recognize any wind and grass.

Whether it is running and jumping, or swimming in trees, the ocelot is perfect, coupled with its sharp claws and terrifying bite, it is definitely one of the predators at the top of the food chain among creatures of the same size.

In terms of ferocity, it is perhaps second only to the black-footed cat, which is also a feline.

…………

A few minutes later, somewhere in the canopy of the woods, a man and a mouse stood quietly on a slender branch, staring into the distance.

Ah Fu has already given up on escaping, the attributes of the two sides are too different, and continuing to run will only wear out the last trace of strength used to resist, and then it will be the real death.

Looking at a rapidly approaching yellow figure not far away, Ah Fu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he held a small detonator tightly in his hand, just when he was about to fight to the death, at least to take this damn ocelot with him, he suddenly felt a strange feeling in his chest.

Ah Fu was stunned for a moment, then his eyes brightened, and the determination on his face quickly faded, turning to ecstasy, he took out the expanding magic mirror body from the inner pocket of his chest, and after retracting the squirrel, he decisively got into it.

After a few breaths, the ocelot arrives at the place where Ah Fu finally disappeared, and looks around but finds nothing.

"Meow?"
