Comprehension against the sky, creating the Five Thunders in the real world

At this point, the protagonist doesn't care whether the creature is alive or dead; as long as he can fill his stomach and restore his energy, he doesn't care about anything else.

Without much thought, the protagonist picked up the charred snake meat and stuffed it into his mouth. The moment he took a bite, a strong, putrid stench, mixed with thick, sticky blood, assaulted his nostrils and mouth.

"vomit--!"

A dry heave echoed through the night sky.

On the battlefield, even the slightest mistake could cost him his life.

At this moment, Lin Beichen and Yu Feng are pursuing their target. In fact, letting the target escape and wait for reinforcements would be sufficient. But what if Lin Beichen and Yu Feng were the ones being chased?
If the two were forced to eat spoiled and inedible snake meat while being hunted, they would likely be unable to hunt again, or they would be caught up by their pursuers because of the time wasted hunting.

The saying "one wrong move and the whole game is lost" perfectly describes this situation.

"Go get something to eat."

After quickly treating the wound, Lin Beichen looked calmly at Yu Feng standing to the side.

Lin Beichen hadn't eaten anything all day, and with the blood loss, it would be impossible for him to continue high-intensity activities tomorrow without replenishing his energy.

Although the rainforest was fraught with danger at night, Lin Beichen felt that there was nothing in the jungle that he couldn't handle once the venomous snakes and other dangerous creatures left.

After all, humans are often more frightening than animals.

"it is good."

Yu Feng nodded without hesitation at Lin Beichen's words.

Both of them brought some dry food with them, but they had lost it somewhere while swimming. Now, if they don't find any food, they'll have to wait until tomorrow to go hungry.

Yu Feng understood that Lin Beichen was currently experiencing blood loss and without adequate calorie replenishment, he was at high risk of an accident.

In addition, he himself hadn't eaten anything all day, so it would be a complete lie to say he wasn't hungry.

After a brief discussion, the two of them walked into the rainforest, one after the other.

The rainforest at night wasn't as quiet as he had imagined. Apart from the occasional chirping of insects and birds, Lin Beichen could also hear the trees rustling overhead.

However, because the sound was neither too close nor too far away, and its source was too far away, Lin Beichen couldn't immediately determine how far away the sound was from above.

Lin Beichen gave Yu Feng a brief reminder, then took the lead, holding a torch, and walked into the rainforest.

Although Lin Beichen still had his night vision binoculars, night vision is not the same as infrared thermal imaging. In this situation, a torch was actually more useful for Lin Beichen to identify living beings.

Night vision binoculars can clearly see distant targets, but in densely shrubbed areas like rainforests, they become somewhat useless.

After all, a telescope is not an eye, and you can't wear it on your eyes all the time.

In addition, the rainforest is densely vegetated, and the visibility is only a few meters at most. How can a normal person use that telescope?
"Boss, do you think there might be some kind of legendary black panther or something in a place like this?"

With all sorts of strange noises around him, Yu Feng felt extremely flustered and uneasy even with torches around him, and subconsciously started talking to Lin Beichen.

"Black Panther? Probably not."

Lin Beichen smiled at Yu Feng, unsure of what to say. Everyone experiences fear of the unknown; it's just that Lin Beichen knew how to control it.

Of course, Lin Beichen was telling the truth at that moment.

There are no leopards near Myanmar, but there are lynxes and tigers.

Lynxes typically do not attack humans, but tigers may.

Lin Beichen and Yu Feng certainly couldn't just wander around the rainforest like headless flies; they couldn't stay in the rainforest for too long now.

The torches they carried were simply made of wood, bound together for burning. These makeshift torches could only burn for a dozen minutes at most; after that, the two would have to grope their way through the rainforest in the dark.

Losing one's "eyes" in the rainforest is tantamount to losing one's life.

There are no resurrection coins in this world, nor are there any creatures that can stand up and keep fighting after being shot. Those are just plots in fantasy dramas. The ferocious beasts in the rainforest are not to be trifled with.

"Boss... have you heard any strange noises?"

Yu Feng tugged at Lin Beichen's shoulder and gestured with his eyes towards the area above their heads.

A leaf just happened to pass in front of them, and Lin Beichen subconsciously reached out and caught it.

To be precise, what ended up in Lin Beichen's hands was a broken leaf, a leaf that had broken off at the vein.

"It feels like something is watching us."

Lin Beichen explained softly to Yu Feng beside him, while his gaze involuntarily drifted upwards.

There was nothing there, only a few scattered fallen leaves drifting down from above.

"Boss, what do you think is up there?"

Yu Feng subconsciously swallowed, unsure whether it was fear, curiosity, or both.

"It's probably a lynx."

Lin Beichen didn't take it too seriously. After stretching, he continued walking forward.

Lynxes are very territorial, but they rarely attack humans. The most likely reason they followed Lin Beichen and his companion was simply curiosity.

"Boss, I don't think it's a lynx."

Yu Feng touched his chin.

Lynxes aren't very large; they're about the size of an adult mixed-breed dog. But as felines, they're agile and nimble, so they wouldn't make such a mistake!

In other words, if there is a lynx above, the chance of the leaves falling is basically zero.

It's clearly not a lynx; it's most likely some kind of large feline or other type of animal!

However, in the rainforest, only three kinds of creatures usually hunt in the treetops: leopards, lynxes, and tigers.

Of course, we also have to include the monkeys.

However, most monkeys in the rainforest have been poached, so they would never intentionally approach humans.

"Is it possible that what's crouching up there is a tiger?"

Lin Beichen frowned and looked at Yu Feng beside him.

Felines are generally very agile, but given their large size, it's not surprising that tigers might bump into a few leaves on a treetop.

"I don't think it's possible."

Yu Feng touched his nose and then gripped the gun hanging in front of his chest.

Visibility in the rainforest was only a few meters, and there was something crouching above him. To say that Yu Feng wasn't afraid would be pure nonsense.

But men, after all, don't want others to see their vulnerable side, especially not in front of Lin Beichen. You see, Yu Feng has already lost face in front of Lin Beichen countless times.

Lin Beichen nodded, deciding not to dwell on the matter any further. If possible, Lin Beichen would rather fire two shots into the air.

Doing so would definitely cause a huge commotion in the rainforest, and regardless of whether there was anything up there, the location would be exposed. Lin Beichen didn't want to use firearms unless absolutely necessary, since he had no idea whether Viper's group would come back.

Yu Feng and Lin Beichen went hunting together simply to meet their survival needs. Only after replenishing their energy could they plan for the future. If they summoned those people now, who knew what might happen?

Putting everything else aside, given Lin Beichen and Yu Feng's current state, there's absolutely no way they could escape from those people's pursuit. Both of them are extremely weak and desperately need food.

"Boss, look up there."

As the two were walking, Yu Feng suddenly pointed overhead and shouted. In the firelight, Yu Feng's pupils widened, and he was swallowing hard, clearly frightened by what was above him.

Lin Beichen frowned and slowly turned his head upwards.

The ferocious beast Lin Beichen had imagined did not appear above; on the contrary, it remained eerily quiet.

"what happened?"

Lin Beichen frowned even more. At a time like this, Lin Beichen believed that Yu Feng wouldn't make such a low-level joke, since it was completely meaningless.

"I just... saw a dark shape move over there!"

Yu Feng pointed with a trembling finger at a large tree above his head.

Upon hearing this, Lin Beichen looked up but found nothing there at all.

"Could it be a monkey?"

Lin Beichen was somewhat puzzled.

It's not unusual to find monkeys in the rainforest. This situation could indeed occur if the monkeys aren't chased away and continue to follow you.

Monkeys in the rainforest are not only active during the day, but like most predators, they are nocturnal. Because nighttime is relatively dangerous, even though monkey groups live in groups, they are still vulnerable to attacks from animals such as leopards and tigers.

"Impossible, a monkey can't possibly be that big!"

Yu Feng took a deep breath and simultaneously picked up the gun hanging on his chest, ready to fire.

Seeing this, Lin Beichen quickly stepped forward and grabbed Yu Feng's hand holding the gun, so Yu Feng had no choice but to give up.

Yu Feng's actions were clearly out of fear. Lin Beichen did not blame him, but took a deep breath and said, "No matter what's up there, it doesn't seem to be attacking us, so don't act rashly."

"Also, never fire a gun unless absolutely necessary."

After Lin Beichen finished speaking, he released his grip on Yu Feng's gun barrel.

Just as Lin Beichen had predicted, Yu Feng was not frightened and immediately lowered the gun in front of his chest upon hearing this.

What does that thing look like?

Lin Beichen pulled out a dagger and asked in a low voice.

At the same time, Lin Beichen and Yu Feng seemed to be on the same wavelength, and began to be vigilant back to back.

"I think it looks like a feline, most likely a black panther!"

Yu Feng's words were quite certain.

The words had barely left his lips when that familiar sound of swallowing saliva reached Lin Beichen's ears once more. Lin Beichen could even clearly feel Yu Feng trembling all over.

"Black Panther?"

Lin Beichen raised an eyebrow slightly.

According to the law of the jungle, carnivores generally do not target humans unless they are extremely hungry. Their ancestors have left an imprint on their DNA that humans are creatures not to be trifled with.

Just like when a hunter goes into the mountains, almost all creatures will try their best to avoid him. This is because animals can sense something that ordinary people cannot—the aura of killing intent.

Lin Beichen and Yu Feng exuded a strong murderous aura!

"Wow——!"

Before the two could even take a step, a commotion suddenly came from above, followed by a shower of leaves falling from above.

The two looked up at the sky at the same time, but found no living creatures, only fallen leaves to prove that what had just happened was real.

"Boss, this..."

"Ow—!"

Before Yu Feng could finish speaking, a huge black creature pounced down from above—it was an enormous tiger!

Lin Beichen reacted extremely quickly, grabbing Yu Feng's arm and pulling him towards his side. In that instant, the black tiger flew past Yu Feng's scalp, and Lin Beichen could even clearly smell the pungent stench emanating from its mouth.

"Snapped--!"

Black Tiger landed heavily on a dead tree not far away, sending a flurry of dead leaves flying everywhere.

This black tiger is not very large, with a body length of about two meters. Each of its four paws is much thicker than an adult's arm, indicating that it is a tiger that has just reached adulthood.

Generally speaking, any mutated organism, whose fur differs from that of its normal counterpart, will become more violent and ferocious.

Fur is an animal's natural camouflage. Once it mutates, predators will find it difficult to hide themselves and will face much greater challenges in surviving than their ordinary counterparts.

Looking at the black tiger whose fur gleamed in the torchlight, Lin Beichen took a deep breath.

The black tiger was clearly starving and now regarded Lin Beichen and Yu Feng as its prey.

The saying "when all hope is lost, daggers will be drawn" perfectly describes this situation.

Lin Beichen took a deep breath, slowly pulled his dagger from his leg wraps, and at the same time gave Yu Feng, who was gripping his gun tightly, a wink.

Yu Feng and Lin Beichen had a tacit understanding and immediately realized that Lin Beichen wanted him not to fire the gun first, but to try it out first, and only fire if there was a danger to his life.

Yu Feng nodded without hesitation, then pulled out his dagger and stepped back to the side, creating a distance of about two people's width.

This distance allows for immediate support when teammates encounter danger without affecting their performance.

The black tiger clearly didn't intend to give Lin Beichen much time to react. As soon as Yu Feng stepped back, the black tiger leaped up with a "thud" and pounced on Lin Beichen.

Lin Beichen gripped the dagger tightly in his backhand, staring intently at Black Tiger's neck.

Lin Beichen certainly didn't fantasize about taking down the black tiger with a single sliding tackle, like in some fantastical TV dramas.

His only thought was to use a clever trick to plunge the dagger into the tiger's throat when it pounced.

"Ow—!"

Unexpectedly, Black Tiger seemed to have seen through Lin Beichen's plan while it was in the air. Just as Lin Beichen was about to raise his dagger to stab Black Tiger's neck, Black Tiger swung its claws in mid-air, viciously grabbing at Lin Beichen's face.

Lin Beichen instantly flipped backward, narrowly dodging the black tiger's attack, and simultaneously rolled to the side.

Lin Beichen felt a sharp pain in his chest wound, clearly from being torn open when he turned over. The pain made him grimace. Coupled with the fact that he had already lost a lot of blood, Lin Beichen felt dizzy and lightheaded.

He gritted his teeth and shook his head, trying to stay awake, while keeping his eyes fixed on the black tiger not far away.

At this moment, the torch in his hand was gradually burning to the end.

This torch is less of a torch and more of a burning piece of wood; it doesn't burn as well as a torch made of resin.

If Lin Beichen and Yu Feng lost the faint light of their torches, visibility in this rainforest would be almost zero, which would be no different from waiting to die.

But even night-vision binoculars are completely useless in this kind of place. (End of Chapter)
