Chapter 74: The Amazon Crisis
The anaconda was in a frenzied struggle. The deadwood and leaves on the ground fluttered around. Those young buds were directly pulled off the ground. The snake lost out a lot of blood. Shadow a.s.sa.s.sination was not a weak weapon. The tough snakeskin was like a piece of fragile paper in front of it. And Zhou Jian had directly severed the anaconda’s spinal cord with the stab he did on its back. That was a fatal strike.
Zhou Jian turned on stealth and went to hide on the side. After five minutes, the anaconda was finally motionless and lied there on the ground. The surrounding was a mess. Everywhere was dyed red.
Zhou Jian observed patiently for a while and after determining that such a large movement did not attract the attention of other predators, he quickly ran past towards the anaconda and gutted it for its gallbladder. Although the gallbladder of an ordinary anaconda could not treat an illness, but it was still a good medical material for a nourishment.
At this time, Zhou Jian’s body was full of blood. In the Amazon forest, such a b.l.o.o.d.y ‘s scent would bring in a lot of predators. Zhou Jian took off the tattered game clothing off his back, revealing a fas.h.i.+onable level 30 purple armor – the Shadow Shackles.
It’s black and soft but there was not a single blood on it. It’s bright and clean like new.
Zhou Jian cherished and touched the soft surface. There seem to be a light energy fluctuation and it was cool to touch like Quicksilver as if it has its own life.
He clenched his fists and continued on his trip across the Amazon in stealth.

Three days later, Zhou Jian finally knew why it’s so hard to get a variant Anaconda. It was because this d.a.m.n place was not suitable to be traveled by a human in the first place.
These days, Zhou Jian had suffered more than 10 attacks. He didn’t know how those group of things managed to find him. He was already under stealth. Then, how did all the other bounty hunters survived?
And what was the most disgusting of all was that these animals all attacked using sneak attacks. When they were discovered, they would have escaped. Luckily, Zhou Jian had armor on his body and was immune to snakes, tarantula, piranha and other small animals attacks. Otherwise, he would have already be poisoned to death.
Actually, the Jungle Hunter a.s.sociation also sold this type of protective clothing. The special material that wrapped around the body could provide immunity against poisonous snakes, poisonous spiders, and other small animals sneak attacks. This type of clothing was divided into two type. One type had a built in air conditioning and the other type did not have any.
With a built-in air conditioning, the protective clothing was not much lighter than a s.p.a.cesuit. Only certain wealthy men would put it on when visiting the tropical rainforests. It was useless for those true bounty hunters. If they put on such unwieldy clothing on their body, even though it could provide protection against poisonous mosquitoes and snakes, but when fighting against those fierce predators, it’s no different than presenting themselves as a dumpling ready to be served to be eaten.
And for the clothing that did not have any built-in air conditioning, although it was much lighter, but it’s not much thinner than a down jacket. It was very hot to put onto the body. And because it’s a protective clothing, not only was there no ventilation, it’s even sealed off against water.
The typical rain forest was about 30°C all year around. Although the temperature was not too high, but because of the high air humidity, it’s very stuffy. Even if the jungle hunters were trained iron men, they also could not bear to wear a waterproof and airtight clothing into a high-intensity combat in the rainforests. This type of clothing could be worn in the forest periphery for a short combat. But to suffer the heat for half a month, it just could not be done.
Zhou Jian was depressed. He took out the wax block from the backpack that was used to attract the opposite s.e.x of the Anaconda variant. He frantically smudged it on his body. He thought that the thing was already expired. He didn’t see the result no matter how much he spread.
