Before Jiang Fan could ask the tabby cat what was going on, it came to Lin Feng's side first.

After smelling the squirrel's scent, he punched it twice without saying a word.

Although it wasn't very strong, the little squirrel was still so frightened that it squeaked loudly.

Lin Feng immediately became dissatisfied: "Fanzi, what are you doing? Can't you control your cat?!"

At the same time, he was also puzzled. How could his pet, which was recruited with a green card, be bullied like this by a little wildcat?

Are squirrels really that afraid of cats?

Jiang Fan was speechless. Where did this tabby cat learn its ways? Why does it act like a mafia boss?

"Why did you send the second one so far away? I've been looking for him all night!" The tabby cat, being the wicked one, complained first, questioning Jiang Fan before he could even ask what was going on.

"I...!" Jiang Fan exclaimed angrily.

He knew that "the second one" referred to Tang Qingyu's dog.

I just don't understand how the tabby cat could run so far and find this little thing.

At the same time, he was also thinking about whether he could sell it to Tang Qingyu again.

Soon, Ding Rui and Nangong Yue came upstairs one after the other to look for their little leopard.

The two didn't say much, but their eyes clearly showed dissatisfaction.

The two of them were just holding the leopard cub and exchanging pet-raising tips when the tabby cat meowed. The two little creatures broke free from their arms and waddled over.

"Come on, let's grab something to eat." Knowing he was in the wrong, Jiang Fan warmly invited the two while changing the subject, "After we eat, I'll take you hunting mutated animals."

Having tasted the sweetness of hunting a leopard yesterday, and after a day of rest, he has fully recovered and decided to take a few men hunting with him.

"Great! I've been waiting for this for ages!" Ding Hang was the first to respond. "Damn it, I saw a mutated wild boar nearby yesterday. It was just me and Ji Ran, and we couldn't beat it at all."

"Let's do it!" Lin Feng rubbed his hands together, eager to try.

Zheng Xiuyuan and Zhao Yi looked distressed; they had stayed up all night and needed to catch up on sleep later.

"Don't worry, you two will have plenty of opportunities to contribute in the future," Jiang Fan said with a smile.

"With your words of reassurance, Brother Fan," Zhao Yi said.

Although Nangong Yue also wanted to go hunting, Jiang Fan refused, saying that the others needed her to lead them.

As for Ding Rui, she was much more rational. She felt that although hunting mutated animals was highly profitable, it was also very risky.

It is not suitable for girls with weak constitutions.

Instead of fighting mutated animals, it would be better to take people to collect other food and try hunting ordinary animals.

Soon, after everyone had breakfast, they set off according to plan.

Nangong Yue and Ding Rui led a group of people to a relatively safe area nearby.

Jiang Fan then called on Lin Feng, Ding Hang, Ji Ran, and Chen Qingquan and Jiang Xu, who had volunteered to join them, to act together.

Like Zheng Xiuyuan and Zhao Yi, they were among the first four members of the "group" to join the hunt for the anaconda.

Chen Qingquan is the type who looks slim in clothes but has a muscular build when undressed. He usually wears glasses and looks very refined, but he can be incredibly ruthless when he gets into a fight.

Jiang Xu is a fitness enthusiast like Raymond Lam, but he is more muscular than Raymond Lam.

On the way, Jiang Fan asked the tabby cat in his arms in a low voice, "How's that big guy in the water that you sensed yesterday doing now?"

Yesterday, he carried the civet cat and, under the guise of "inspecting" and "getting a sense of the situation," walked around several dormitory buildings in the vicinity.

On the one hand, it was to observe the condition of the other survivors, and on the other hand, it was to make the tabby cat aware of underwater threats.

The investigation revealed that, apart from the fact that the bloodstains near their building had attracted more ordinary crocodiles due to the previous hunting of anacondas and leopards, the presence of several anacondas that had been lurking in the waters below the other buildings had disappeared.

Instead, a larger and more ferocious wave has taken hold in the deep waters.

The tabby cat narrowed its amber eyes: "It's still here, and... it seems even stronger. That thing is very clever, always hiding in the deepest part. I don't know exactly what it is, but it's definitely much stronger than that stupid snake from the day before yesterday."

Jiang Fan understood.

This is the core of his plan today.

Yesterday, people from dormitories 1, 2, and 4 secretly approached him, hoping he could help them retrieve their spare keys.

Jiang Fan did not agree immediately, but said he needed to make some preparations.

First, he needs to address the biggest underwater threat and ensure the safety of the key retrieval process;

Secondly, he also had a plan: the longer the crisis dragged on, the more difficult the situation would become for the survivors trapped in the corridors and lacking supplies. When he finally intervened to resolve the crisis and retrieved the key, the gratitude points he could receive would naturally be even greater.

The harsh environment of the rainforest intensified their despair and their yearning for rescue every minute of every day.

"Can we really catch anything here?" Ji Ran asked as they walked. "Ever since that anaconda hunted the crocodile and left the lake to be killed by us on the first day, nothing in the water seems to have come out anymore, like it's become sentient."

"Yes," Chen Qingquan adjusted his glasses and chimed in, "Yesterday, Lao Jiang and I were even testing the anaconda's internal organs in the building. We were planning to hunt another anaconda, but instead we attracted a small crocodile."

"That's because your bait wasn't good enough." Jiang Fan didn't want to reveal the tabby cat's perception ability, so he analyzed it seriously, "If there is one anaconda in a body of water, there will definitely be a second and a third. This thing has a very strong reproductive ability."

But we haven't seen a second one since we killed the first one, which can only mean that the other anacondas are either dead or have left this area. Why is that?

"You mean..." Chen Qingquan's eyes suddenly lit up, "There's something in the water that they're afraid of, could it be... a mutated one?"

"That's right!" Jiang Fan laughed. "I guess the reason you didn't catch any big fish is because the bait wasn't good enough."

"I see! No wonder you asked us to bring the leopard's internal organs. I was actually thinking of eating offal." Lin Feng suddenly realized.

"Forget it," Jiang Fan sneered. "How can you eat offal without enough seasoning to mask its flavor? And with clean water so scarce, do you want to eat braised pork intestines?"

Although that's what they said, they cast their bait in several places but only attracted small fish and shrimp, catching nothing, which made them suspicious.

"Fanzi, are you sure you're not mistaken? Why don't we go for a walk in the nearby woods?" Lin Feng said, somewhat discouraged, not wanting to waste any more time.

Although Ding Hang and the others didn't say anything, it wasn't hard to tell from their eyes that they didn't approve of Jiang Fan's decision this time.

"One last spot." Jiang Fan felt the time was right, so he led the group towards the target location. "If it doesn't work out, we'll retreat."

Soon, they arrived at a relatively open shore, not far from the dormitory buildings.

The murky water surface appeared calm, but the tabby cat perched on Jiang Fan's shoulder, its amber eyes fixed on a certain spot underwater, its tail slightly bristling.

"It's down there, very deep," it whispered a meow.

Without further hesitation, Jiang Fan used his spear to pierce several large holes in the leopard's internal organs, which were bound by vines, and then directed the men to throw them all into the water.

The dark red blood quickly spread in the water.
