Chapter 573: Chapter 250: The Giant Creature in the Water_3

After finishing the second cookie, the brazen little capybara slowly let go of its last bit of caution. Its already small eyes squinted shut completely as it stretched its neck out, boldly enjoying the scratching services from the beauty.

Hundreds may have petted dogs or cats, but to stroke a capybara in the wild, she was undoubtedly the first.

This scene, the live-streaming effect was simply explosive!

Witnessing this, the viewers in the live stream room went completely wild.

"Whoa, this is too mystical, isn’t it? Host, ask the locals, are you sure this thing is wild? Even if it’s domesticated, its courage couldn’t possibly be this huge, right?"

"Just for a cookie, it’s willing to risk its life; I really don’t know how this capybara has survived until now. Why bother with hunting rifles and traps when a cookie can do the trick?"

"Look at how the capybara enjoys life, Yue’er’s personal scratching service, those squinted eyes of enjoyment, I’m so jealous I could burst."

"The world is too crazy, even capybaras are now after beauty, it’s true that being pretty has its advantages everywhere you go."

"It’s over, it’s over, everyone, look, the capybara is lying down after being scratched comfortably. Does this count as taking advantage of the situation? Eating your cookie, enjoying your strokes, and now clings onto you!"

"This is certified taking advantage, damn, it really lives up to its reputation as a social butterfly in the animal world."

Although Lin Yang was mentally prepared, he was still astonished by the audacity of the creature.

If Yue’er had had any malicious intent just now, she could have easily strangled the capybara with her bare hands, and that would have been the end of it. However, this capybara wasn’t the least bit scared, completely trusting the strange beauty as if it were a pet dog at home.

Lin Yang wanted to remind her to be careful, but before he could speak, Sun Zheng gestured with his eyes to stop him.

"Relax, capybaras are very friendly and won’t attack other creatures on their own. Keep quiet, or else you might scare it away."

About half an hour later, the capybara seemed completely relaxed one moment, but the next it suddenly rolled over and got up. Its tiny ears shook a bit nervously, and its eyes showed signs of wariness.

Yue’er wasn’t ready to stop playing with it yet when she saw the capybara glance towards the emptiness in the distance a few times, then twist its body and leap into the water, swiftly vanishing beneath the surface with agile movement.

"What happened? Brother Yang, why did it run away all of a sudden? Could it have sensed some danger?"

Yue’er looked unsatisfiedly at the water surface.

Tataro and the other guards also noticed the capybara’s unusual behavior and became alert, clutching their weapons and scanning the surroundings, searching for potential dangers.

Lin Yang didn’t think too much into it and simply controlled the drone to rise from just above the river surface to about twenty or thirty meters into the air, scanning the area while analyzing.

"If capybaras can survive here without dying out, they must certainly have their own way of life. Some creatures have very sharp hearing or sense of smell that humans cannot detect. It might be these subtle sound waves or scents that frightened the capybara away."

Once the drone had risen, the perspective from above offered a much wider view than hovering at a lower altitude.

The overhead view of the canopy created a unique vista with various spots of light playing whimsically among the trees.

Just then, a piercing screech of a macaw came from a tree branch.

At the edge of the frame, the disabled macaw, absent for so long, suddenly took flight from the trees, flapping its broad wings and swiftly fleeing into the distance.

An unexpected screech startled Lin Yang and the others.

But what was even more terrifying came next. Ripples began to spread across the water beneath the shadows of the trees. Lin Yang quickly adjusted the camera lens of the drone for a close-up.

The next second, a huge, black, round body emerged onto the water surface. The sight of the enormous creature created a startling visual impact that made even the usually brave Lin Yang feel a chill run down his spine, instinctively holding his breath.

"Snake, an anaconda!" Lin Yang spoke in a hushed tone.

After hearing the words "anaconda," Sun Zheng immediately spat out a few syllables. Tataro’s guards reacted at once, readying their weapons and shielding Lin Yang and Yue’er behind them.

After seeing the creature on the water surface through the camera feed, Sun Zheng was also very tense as he said:

"That’s an adult jungle boa, I didn’t expect to encounter one here; what a surprise. Be very gentle in your movements, do not provoke it, as our weapons can hardly inflict a fatal wound on it."

As he calmed everyone down, Sun Zheng began communicating with Tataro.

Tataro moved forward a few steps, after a sidelong glance, gestured with his hands to everyone, indicating that the danger had passed.

Sun Zheng continued to translate: "Tataro says not to be nervous, the boa’s belly is bulging, indicating it’s recently had a meal. A satiated boa is hardly aggressive.

Jungle boas tend to roam in the deep, rarely visited parts of the rainforest. Last year, an expedition team came here specifically to track one and couldn’t find it. Master Lin, your team really hit the jackpot this time; such footage is a once-in-a-lifetime catch!"

Lin Yang, hearing that the danger had eased, finally let out a sigh of relief.

It turned out that witnessing a colossal jungle boa in person was a whole different concept from watching one on a television show.

By estimation, this unexpectedly encountered jungle boa was at least 15 meters long, with a body thicker than a water barrel. Such a behemoth, even when observed from a medium distance through the drone camera, still presented an overwhelming visual impact.

In the live chat, the viewers’ reactions to seeing the giant anaconda were far more intense than to the cute capybara.
