Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible.

Chapter 267 Rusty Leopard Cat

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

Shrikes are ferocious in nature and extremely aggressive, and their diet covers a wide range of species, ranging from insects, lizards, to mammals and birds. As long as the body size is not too different, they are all within the hunting range of this creature.

What makes the shrike most famous is its ferocious hunting method. It will impale the captured prey on the spikes of thorns, and then use its beak to tear the prey into pieces bit by bit and devour it.

In this cruel process, some prey may not even die. The shrike will first break their spines to ensure that they have no ability to resist, and then impale them on spikes, allowing the prey to watch him alive while awake. Being slowly devoured.

In addition to the above, shrike also have the same habit of hoarding food as squirrels, but squirrels hoard various nuts, while shrike hoards a large number of animal carcasses.

Because they need to eat frequently, they are keen on killing and hang endless prey on the spikes of tall branches. Firstly, it is convenient to eat at any time, which reduces the pressure of hunting; secondly, there are few corpses at high places. It will be eaten by animals, and it can also be slowly dried to extend the preservation time of the meat.

The place where Xu Yue is now is most likely the granary where Shrike stores food, but this granary looks a bit bloody.

Standing on a branch in the southeast corner of the big tree, Xu Yue scanned the animal carcasses hanging in various parts of the tree crown in turn, especially pausing for a long time on the corpses of the three contractors, his eyes flashing slightly.

Because he was at a high altitude before, he did not use his senses to explore the attributes of the giant bird to avoid leaking the breath. But at this moment, judging from the size and breath of the prey in front of him, although the shrike as the owner of the granary is powerful, it is not It has reached a point that Xu Yue cannot reach, that is to say, he can do one vote.

This powerful and ferocious creature is an excellent choice whether it is used as a source of fire or as a weapon soul. It is very helpful for improving his strength. Moreover, it has come, so let him leave directly. , and he was not very willing.

After doing all this, he Shi Shiran returned to the belly of the giant snake. The huge body of the giant snake could perfectly hide his aura. Coupled with the perspective support provided by the half-frame glasses, this formed a conflict between the enemy and ourselves. Good advantage, just wait for the Shrike to return again.

…………

Thinking of this, he took out the Eye of Manifestation and a small glasses case from his small pocket.

Taking advantage of this time, he happened to teleport Ah Fu over. It was less than 20 minutes before they separated. Ah Fu should have no problem protecting himself with two big puppets beside him.

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

The next second, several micro-monitors the size of flying mosquitoes suddenly flew out of the glasses case. Amidst the "buzzing" sound of wings flapping, the flying mosquitoes quickly dispersed, and Xu Yue's lenses also appeared. Come up with a few extra perspectives.

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

The sharp nails scratched the squirrel's thick, fluffy tail, with only a slight contact. Two-thirds of the tail broke immediately, and blood flowed profusely.

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

At the same time, in the lush forest on the other side of the island, Afu was riding a squirrel and fleeing wildly through the canopy forest. Behind him was a rusty-spotted ocelot that was chasing after him. Although it was three meters in size, it was The ocelot's agility is extremely exaggerated. When jumping among the branches of the forest, its body is stretched out, its speed is extremely fast, and it is not bulky at all.

Feeling another gust of bad wind coming from behind him, Ah Fu, who was sitting on the back of the squirrel's neck, sighed and quickly turned his head 180°. The two pairs of eyes inevitably intertwined. There was a flash of blood in Ah Fu's eyes, and the one behind him The ocelot's eyes were blurred, its body froze, and its sharp claws grabbing at the squirrel's back could not help but deflect.

Needless to say, he placed it directly in a corner of the tree canopy. As for the glasses case, it was also a reconnaissance prop purchased from Cybertron Machinery, with a green quality rating of 15 and a sincere benefit of 2400 Paradise Coins. .

The tail was severely injured, but the squirrel seemed to be unconscious. Its body did not react in any way due to the pain, but its escape speed accelerated again, gradually widening the distance from the stagnant ocelot behind it.

Seeing that he was temporarily out of pursuit, Ah Fu breathed a sigh of relief, then straightened his head, and then stretched out his hand to wipe away the dark blood flowing from the corners of his eyes. This was a sequelae of using 'Monster Capture' too many times.

Along the way, he used the squirrel's agility in running among the treetops to successfully get rid of the cyan python and the giant tawny scorpion, but in the end he couldn't get rid of the ocelot. It's obviously a creature on land, but the opponent's speed of jumping and chasing it within the branches is faster than that of a squirrel. If he hadn't kept a distance with his frequent 'demon captures', I'm afraid he would have become the ocelot's meal long ago. .

Even though it seemed that he had escaped the pursuit, Ah Fu's expression did not relax at all. He knew in his heart that it wouldn't be long before the ocelot would come back.

What's even more fatal is that he only has enough mana left to use 'Monster Capture' once. In other words, he is just hanging on for a breath. Maybe the next time he is caught up, he will die. carve.

Thinking of this, a trace of cruelty flashed in Ah Fu's eyes. He gently patted the squirrel under him. The bleeding tail immediately turned into wood, and no more blood flowed out.

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

…………

Behind, less than a second passed before the ocelot emerged from its confused state of mind. It licked the blood on its paws and narrowed its round eyes.

Instead of chasing in a hurry, the ocelot extended its forelimbs and lifted its hindquarters. After stretching its body in an extremely comfortable position, it lightly sniffed its nose and quickly chased after the squirrel along with the remaining scent.

It had a lot of fun with this pursuit and didn't want it to end so soon.

The rusty-spotted leopard cat is the smallest cat in the world. Its adult size is only the size of a palm. Its whole body is covered with a fallen leaf, making it look cute and cute.

But for such a small creature, its bite force is comparable to that of a liger, and its temperament is even more ferocious.

Its eyesight is six times that of humans, its sense of smell can identify 6 billion species of living things, and its hearing can identify any disturbance. It is an existence that fully utilizes its senses and is known as the "hummingbird among cats."

Ocelots are adept at everything from running and jumping to climbing trees and swimming. Coupled with their sharp claws and terrifying bite force, among creatures of the same size, they are definitely one of the predators at the top of the food chain.

In terms of ferocity, it may be second only to the black-footed cat, which is also a member of the cat family.

…………

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

Ah Fu has given up on escaping. The difference in attributes between the two sides is too great. Continuing to run will only drain away the last bit of strength used to resist. Only then can he truly die in peace.

Looking at a yellow figure approaching quickly not far away, Ah Fu narrowed his eyes and 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, suddenly I felt something strange coming from my chest.

Ah Fu was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes brightened. The determination on his face quickly faded, and a look of ecstasy appeared on his face. He took out the expanding magic mirror body from the inner pocket of his chest, took the squirrel back, and then decisively got into it. Got in.

After a few breaths, the ocelot arrived at the place where Ah Fu last disappeared, but looked around but found nothing.

"Meow?"
