Killer: I Start By Killing A Fly With A Poker Card - Chapter 28

Chapter 28: Life In The Forest

In the end, the giant spider could not resist venom and was crushed by the giant boa. After constricting the arachnid for a while, the giant boa finally let go of the prey in its mouth.

Looking at the dead prey, the giant boa opened its mouth and slowly swallowed the giant spider before eating the liver. It then swam back to the next prey that was lying in wait.

Shi Yu finally understood why there were no animals drinking at such a good pond. Who would dare to encroach into the territory of the fearsome boa constrictor?

He had not even reached the depths of the forest yet, but he had already encountered so many animals that he could not normally see. If he really went to the depths of the forest, surviving there would be a problem.

However, when he turned his head and thought about it, he still had a chance to survive with these animals. However, if he returned to the city, he would be chased by assassins hiding in the dark. He would definitely die, but here, no one dared to enter the center of the forest.

It was equivalent to giving Shi Yu protection but also exposing him to a great deal of danger. Every mistake Shi Yu made would lead to the threat of death, whether day or night.

Slowly leaving this place, Shi Yu could only search for water again.

He definitely couldn’t stay here anymore. Returning to where he hung his sleeping bag, Shi Yu took the elk leg and sleeping bag and set off again.

On the way, he occasionally saw gibbon, red-eyed tree frogs, birds of paradise, and big-billed birds.

He could only sigh at the climate of the Amazon, which could allow so many animals to inhabit at the same time. Shi Yu carefully avoided these.

Knowing that the sun was about to set, Shi Yu watched as the sunlight above him gradually decreased and darkened. Shi Yu was about to spend his second night in the thick tropical rainforest.

However, he had yet to find a water source. Licking his chapped lips, he could no longer move forward and had to find a campsite to light a fire.

If he didn’t, he would be in great danger when night fell if the vampire bats, rats, and eagles came out.

Shi Yu found a leeward slope. He dug out the back of the slope and picked some leaves to cushion the ground. He then found some leaves and pierced them with branches to be planted on the trees.

This way, even if he hadn’t found a safe source of water yet, by morning, there would be some dew in the tropical rain forest and could more or less replenish some water.

After the fire started, Shi Yu roasted the remaining liver and cut off the elk leg meat. He had to prepare for the lack of food. The meat would rot if he left it any longer, so he could only make it into jerky for preservation.

He hung up the cut elk’s leg meat on a tree branch and dried it by the fire to preserve it for later consumption.

Then, Shi Yu looked at the charred liver in front of him. He had never eaten charred meat before, but when he thought of the situation he was in now, his stomach growled and demanded to eat.

He closed his eyes and took a bite. Because the liver was thicker, the moment he took a bite, a trace of blood flowed down the corner of Shi Yu’s mouth, filling his mouth with the stench of blood.

He held his breath and frowned. After chewing for a while, he swallowed the meat. Then, Shi Yu began to bite the liver of the elk.

After a great feast, Shi Yu wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth with his sleeve. He was finally full.

Looking at the dried meat by the fire, he ate two more pieces before getting up. After inspecting his surroundings and finding no special creatures, Shi Yu held the dagger in his hand and went into his sleeping bag in peace.

In the early hours of the morning, a ray of sunlight shone on Shi Yu’s face through the trees that blocked out the sun. He opened his eyes and looked at the thick fog of the forest.

After eating some dried meat, he looked at the leaves he left on the tree yesterday and saw them covered with crystal clear dew. Shi Yu carefully picked up the leaves and rolled them up. He looked at the dew that wasn’t even enough for a sip, then raised his head and drank it.

Fortunately, he left a lot of leaves last night to replenish some water. After putting out the fire with his urine, he put away the remaining jerky. Shi Yu began to sigh that this was already his third day in the Amazon.

After cleaning up the nearby traces, Shi Yu began to think about the forest’s depths again. After seeing the giant spider and the giant forest boa yesterday, he roughly estimated that he would enter the depths of the woods today.

The road ahead was becoming more and more difficult to walk on. The messy branches, weeds, fallen trees, and the swamp on the ground all caused great trouble to Shi Yu’s route.

He frequently changed directions and moved forward, but he could always find a swamp in front of him. There was no other way. He did not know what kind of creatures existed in the swamp.

Looking at the nearby trees taller and thicker than the ones he had encountered before, Shi Yu found a tree and began to climb up. He wanted to climb higher to see where he could move.

After hanging up his backpack, he cut some small branches nearby, cut a round hole with his dagger, and inserted the sharp branches.

This way, it would be much easier for him to go up or down. After cutting a few holes, he fixed the branches and slowly stepped on them. Slowly, he began to familiarize himself.

He climbed higher and higher. When he turned around again, he was already twenty meters in the air. He inserted the dagger into the tree and stood firm, looking around to see that he was surrounded by a dense canopy of trees.

It seemed that he still had to climb higher. The air was filled with a lot of water on trees that were more than twenty meters tall. If he stayed here for a long time, his lungs would fill up with water.

I have to speed up, Shi Yu thought. However, when he was about to pull out the dagger, he realized a green water boa lying on a small branch less than a meter away from him. It seemed that it had just been born.

The adult green water boa was also very huge. Looking at the green anaconda that was as thick as an arm staring at him with its tongue sticking out, it seemed like he had entered its territory.

However, Shi Yu was curious. Typically, these green anaconda lived in swamps, flowing slowly in streams. They were smooth and secretive in the water. There were even some unconfirmed reports that these giant serpents ate human flesh.

Why were they on the trees? Could there be more terrifying creatures than these creatures in the swamps?

The green anacondas were not poisonous, so what could be the creatures that drove them from the swamps on the ground to the trees? Fortunately, Shi Yu did not take the risk of crossing the swamps.

At the thought of this, he could not help but break out in a cold sweat. However, the green anaconda in front of him seemed to be a little angry now. It slithered slowly to Shi Yu.

Although Shi Yu was not afraid of these creatures, he concluded that this was an unsuitable place to hide from the killers outside..
