Chapter 204: Crocodile Hunter
There were more and more crocodiles, and the otters scared by the loud noise all ran out of the reeds and ran to the mouth of the sea.
"Don't panic, they won't come up." Li Chaoyang patted Tong Fei on the shoulder with a relaxed expression.
No matter how good the crocodiles are, they won't climb trees, as long as they don't fall, the crocodiles can't do anything about them.
"I didn't panic, I was just a little scared." Tong Fei's argument was unconvincing and made Li Chaoyang laugh.
"Oh, yes, it's scared, it's not panicked, have you ever eaten crocodile meat? The sizzling and oily ones that are skewered on bamboo skewers and roasted on the fire, sprinkled with cumin pepper, taste stronger than beef, and chopped pepper crocodile, which is also delicious. Li Chaoyang said and licked his tongue.
"You're almost eating them, and you're still thinking about eating them?"
"That's right, that's what I thought, if nothing else, we'll have grilled crocodiles to eat today."
Saying that, Li Chaoyang broke a section of branches, cut off the leaves, and then connected them to make a small circle, and then wrapped the rope around the circle, tied a live buckle, and made a rope sleeve, so that the branches can support the rope sleeve, and the small branches will break as long as they are pulled, which will not affect the effect of the rope sleeve at all. This thing is similar to the noose rope in ancient times, as long as it is put on, it will get tighter and tighter.
After making the noose, Li Chaoyang threw the other end of the noose from the higher branch, cut a longer branch, and wrapped the rope around the branch, and a simple lassoe was ready.
Tong Fei was stunned, is Li Chaoyang going to put a crocodile on a tree?
No kidding, these guys are alive, and they won't be at the mercy of Li Chaoyang.
When Li Chaoyang took out the grenade, Tong Fei understood.
"Hold the trunk and cover your ears." Li Chaoyang said that he threw all the dried fish down, and then pulled out the bolt of the grenade
The crocodiles exploded in an instant, and countless crocodiles frantically rushed up to snatch the palm-sized dried fish, and squeezed into it like they were dying.
The grenade fell straight into the crocodile pile, smashed on the head of one guy and rolled to the ground, completely covered by the crocodile.
The crocodiles, who were just grabbing food, didn't care about the little thing that was smoking.
Three seconds later, there was a muffled sound, flesh and blood flew sideways, and hundreds of steel balls in the grenade flew out at a very fast speed under the urging of explosives, and the hard crocodile armor was no different from tofu in front of the steel balls, and it was penetrated in an instant.
The pungent smell of gunpowder spread out in the billowing green smoke, and the injured crocodile let out a scream, twisting its body and fleeing, blood gushing out of the wound, and some of the crocodile's legs were blown off, revealing red and white muscle tissue.
The blasting power of the grenade was quite amazing, several crocodiles were killed on the spot, crawling on the ground and convulsing their bodies, and one even turned over directly, revealing a white belly, half of the jaw was blown away, and the long fangs were bloodshot.
Li Chaoyang saw a relatively small crocodile stretch out the horse pole, the rope sleeve hung on the crocodile's neck and lifted it up, the branch was broken, and the rope was firmly on the crocodile's neck. Grabbing the other end of the rope with both hands, he jumped onto the bottom branch and used his weight to lift the crocodile off the ground.
The explosion did not deter the crocodiles, the smell of blood immediately activated their primal instincts of rage, and the injured crocodiles were no longer of their own kind in their eyes, but food. If they weren't hurt, there would be a price to pay for forcing them to attack, but if they were injured, they would be the target of everyone's crocodile.
The law of nature is the law of nature.
The battle broke out in an instant, and the injured crocodile opened its mouth wide to resist, and the two sides tore together.
But such resistance is futile, and in the face of enemies several times their size, they will only end in death.
More crocodiles pounced on the killed crocodiles, desperately snatching and biting the corpses of their own kind, biting and rolling on the spot until the whole piece of flesh was completely torn off.
In the blink of an eye, a crocodile was surrounded and dismembered by dozens of crocodiles, first its feet were torn off, and then its stomach was torn open, and its internal organs flowed all over the ground.
These low-IQ animals were so focused on eating that they didn't realize that their companions had been hung up on a tree by Li Chaoyang.
The crocodile that Li Chaoyang grabbed was about one meter five in length and weighed about 100 catties, and a big hole was blown open in its neck by a grenade, and blood kept falling down its yellowed belly. The crocodile was so heavy that Li Chaoyang could only pull it up a little at a time with all his might, and Li Chaoyang's wrist was scorching with the rough rope, and he felt that his skin was about to wear out.
Suddenly, Li Chaoyang felt that the crocodile had become lighter, and when he looked up, he found that Tong Fei was helping on it, she was riding on a tree branch, holding the rope with both hands and pulling it down.
The crocodile whirled in the air, and was slowly pulled to the position of the first branch, Li Chaoyang reached out and grabbed one of the crocodile's feet and dragged it up, stuck on the branch.
Although it didn't take long to hang the crocodile, it still made Li Chaoyang tired enough, and he sat on the tree and panted with his aching hands.
But looking at the crocodile in front of him, it seems that all the hard work is nothing, the meat provided by this crocodile can be eaten by the three of them for at least a week, the crocodile meat is firm and firm, rich in protein and fat, especially fat is what Li Chaoyang needs most now.
During this time of wandering, they hardly ate anything decent, except that fish is fish, and he has forgotten what pig tastes like. Due to the long-term lack of nutrition, everyone is very thin, Tong Fei is almost skinny, and he himself obviously feels that his physical strength is far less than before.
"Wow, it's so big, how many bags can this skin make, how can we get such a big crocodile back in a while?" Tong Fei couldn't help but admire.
"Of course, I skinned my back and went back."
Li Chaoyang replied with a smile, it is obviously impossible for such a big crocodile to carry back, and then they have to climb to other trees, it is very inconvenient to move with such a big guy, the only way is to dismember it on the tree, throw away the internal organs and only bring the meat back.
After a short rest, Li Chaoyang pulled out the knife again, he turned the crocodile over, and stabbed it in the neck, but the sharp dagger was like stabbing the iron plate, and it couldn't be pierced at all.
In desperation, he could only use a folding knife to chop off the crocodile's entire head like chopping wood.
The tumbling crocodile head once again made the crocodiles under the tree agitated, and one by one they swallowed the huge pieces of meat with their heads tilted back and swallowed dates in three or two clicks.
The entire ground was stained red with blood, and the remains of crocodiles were all over the ground.
Looking at the crocodile below, Tong Fei's legs went weak for a while, and the cold hairs on his body stood up when he heard the click of biting bones.
However, Li Chaoyang cut open the crocodile's belly as if no one was around, cut off the crocodile's tail, and quickly peeled off the crocodile skin, he opened a few small holes in the edge of the crocodile skin, put on a rope and hung it on the tree, looking like a gray hammock from a distance.
Immediately afterwards, Li Chaoyang picked some leaves and spread them in crocodile skin, which can effectively prevent blood from penetrating and preventing them from dripping into the sea to attract other carnivores.
After preparing the container, Li Chaoyang deboned the crocodile and chopped it into pieces, leaving only the lean meat and discarding the rest.
In the end, the crocodile of nearly 100 catties was left with less than 50 catties of meat, which turned into a meat ball the size of a basin under the layers of crocodile skin and leaves.
Tong Fei was stunned for a while, is Li Chaoyang really a writer?
"You didn't know how to sell pork before, did you?" Tong Fei asked with some curiosity.
"No, it's just that I often cook by myself, haven't you ever killed a pig?"
Tong Fei furrowed her brows and didn't know how to answer, who cooked rice and killed pigs himself, this guy is a savage.
"What's next?" Tong Fei asked.
"Of course it's a run, just go straight to the tree, come, tie it around your waist." Li Chaoyang handed a piece of rope to Tong Fei.
"No, you don't."
Tong Fei stubbornly pushed away Li Chaoyang's hand, the trees on the side were tall and burly, growing tightly together, the branches and leaves were staggered, anyone with a little courage could climb over, and a rope tied around his waist seemed like what's going on? Her heart was about to scare out when she was swinging just now, and she won't swing when she is killed this time.
But after all, it was not easy to do, Tong Fei grabbed the branch above his head with both hands, stepped on a tree trunk under his feet, and his body swayed uncontrollably in the air.
When she looked at the crocodile under her feet, it shook even more, and her feet kept sifting through the chaff.
"Don't look, don't look below! Close your eyes and relax. Li Chaoyang let out a low roar.
For people who are afraid of heights, the more they look down, the more scared they are, and other fear pictures are similar, the more you look at it, the more you will mess up in your heart, and if you mess up, something will happen, the only thing is not to look at it, and at the same time divert your attention to think about other things.
Li Chaoyang softened his tone and said with a smile: "Actually, I touched it that day, I'm not afraid of you saying it, I'm curious about how old you are, I just want to touch it, you are so ordinary that no one called you Princess Taiping before, right?" ”
Tong Fei's lips moved, and her mind immediately remembered the events of that night, when there had always been a restless hand, and she pinched it fiercely at that time, sure enough, it was really this guy.
Under the guidance of Li Chaoyang, Tong Fei's thoughts were shifted for a short time, and her feet gradually stood firm.
"Okay, take a deep breath, now open your eyes and move forward, don't look down, I'll let you touch it back when you go back, and I won't let you suffer." Li Chaoyang continued to guide Tong Fei.
Tong Fei took a deep breath, calmly raised his head and looked straight ahead, moved to the opposite tree step by step, and exhaled a long breath holding the branch.
She had just settled, and Li Chaoyang had already come over.
Next, the two of them did the same until they walked to a tree near the sea, quickly descended to the ground, and climbed onto the bamboo raft, Li Chaoyang picked up the pole and pushed the bamboo raft hard to sail away from the shore and float towards the strait.
When the bamboo raft left the shore, the hearts of the two people finally let go, and they both smiled at the bulging crocodile meat wrapped in front of them.
It seems that today's roasted crocodile meal is settled.
And with the first time, they can do the same, even using more simple and crude methods, these overlords who have lived on the earth for hundreds of millions of years could never have imagined that one day they would become human food.
The whales' predation continued, and the waters of the estuary were muddied by them, and the bamboo rows swayed very badly in the waves.
It is certainly not advisable to rush over their heads, after all, they do not want to feed the whales yet.
Staying where you are is not an option, the only thing you can do is to keep looking.
Tong Fei took a sip of water and half-knelt on the bamboo raft, while Li Chaoyang continued to walk along the coastline with the bamboo raft.
Across the swamp was a dense rainforest, which was densely populated and taller than where Li Chaoyang lived.
"Help!"
A vague voice reached Li Chaoyang's ears.
