Chapter 937 Theres a Creature 1/5 (2/2)

Brother Wolf checked the surrounding area to ensure that it was safe. Sophie felt reassured and walked over there.

A moment after she reached behind the pile of crushed stone, she suddenly shouted, ”Oh my God!”

Li Du brought the four little ones along to accompany her. After hearing her scream, Li Du was worried and ran over immediately.

Sophie did not make a move. She yelled, ”Be careful. There's a monster!”

There were a lot of wild animals and poisonous snakes in the valley region of the Arkansas River. Li Du immediately asked, ”Is it a snake?”

Sophie was still panicking. ”No, it looked like an alligator!”

Li Du was stunned. An alligator? Although this place is near the valley of the Arkansas River, it's still quite a distance from the river itself. Why would there be a alligator here?

Ah Meow casually walked over. Li Du turned on his flashlight and saw a creature with a ferocious look standing still by the pile of crushed stones.

This creature had thick skin, a large head, a short, sturdy neck, and a shell that seemed like the exterior of a tank.

Its shell was a reddish brown color, with brown spikes on top and ridges on both sides. There were spikes on the ridges. A mouth shaped sawtoothed hole was on one edge of the shell. On the other edge was its long and sharp tail.

It appeared to be fearless, with four strong limbs and well developed muscles. It had small but sharp eyes. It was a creature not to be trifled with.

Due to its body color and shell texture, it camouflaged well against the pile of stones. Li Du could not recognize it at first. After having a good look at it, he could tell what it was. ”It's an alligator snapping turtle!”

Yes. This was indeed a huge alligator snapping turtle.

Alligator snapping turtles were not uncommon in America. However, wild alligator snapping turtles were quite rare. They were considered endangered animals. They were found on the Mississippi River in North America, South America, Central Region and Central America. They were found primarily in southeastern United States.

Based on Li Du's impression, Florida, in the southeastern region of the country, was one of the natural habitats of an alligator snapping turtle, but definitely not Arkansas.

Nevertheless, he felt relieved that it was an alligator snapping turtle.

Alligator snapping turtles were creatures with outstanding combat power. Their bite force was ranked number two in the world.

However, they were only aggressive when they were forced to be. Otherwise, these creatures did not spontaneously attack humans, who were not considered food to them.

Sophie also recognized the creature as an alligator snapping turtle. She breathed a sigh of relief and said awkwardly, ”I didn't have a flashlight with me. And the moonlight is too weak. So I thought it was an alligator.”

After that, she laughed at herself. ”I really am an idiot. Why would there be an alligator here?”

Neither of them wanted to disturb the alligator snapping turtle. However, the four little ones did not share the same opinion.

Ah Meow led the way and stared at the alligator snapping turtle attentively. Suddenly, he extended his claws and scratch it.

The alligator snapping turtle was fully aware of the situation and had its guard up. It was already prepared for the ocelot's attack. It opened its mouth and was ready to bite.

There was a saying, ”As slow as a tortoise.” People often used tortoises to describe slow movements. However, the saying was about tortoises and turtles, not alligator snapping turtles.

The alligator snapping turtle extended its head and struck at an incredible speed, but this was still no match for an ocelot.

As soon as it extended its head, Ah Meow instantly withdrew his claws and re-extended. He toyed speedily with the turtle and swiped at its head several times. He was having fun and joyfully cried, ”Meow meow.”

The alligator snapping turtle was furious. It stood firmly on four of its strong legs and charged toward Ah Meow at full speed. It had its mouth wide opened like an eagle, aiming at his head.
