Chapter 356: Challenging the Giant Nile Crocodile

In the next two days, Chu Mingcheng hunted zebras and African bison.

Zebra meat, like horse meat, is old and has a strong fishy smell, and it needs to be processed with heavy ingredients.

Out of curiosity, Chu Mingcheng and Jiang Luoluo deliberately tasted the zebra meat raised in the camp, but as soon as the meat was served, they almost didn't faint the two.

It stinks really, but it tastes very good and chewy.

But in the end, the two decided to give up zebra meat and choose to sell.

The bison that Chu Mingcheng caught weighed more than 1,600 catties, and even after slaughtering, there were still more than 1,300 catties.

With the addition of edible offal, it is completely possible for them to eat both of them to the Antarctic.

Now, they are missing a Nile crocodile, and this is the end of the hunt.

"Cheng, do you really want to use this?" The hunter looked at the fishing rod in Chu Mingcheng's hand, somewhat speechless.

Chu Mingcheng laughed: "I'm actually a senior fisherman, and I like to challenge all kinds of large fish. So far, I have challenged 800 catties of marlin and more than 700 catties of bluefin tuna. ”

"I used to be a crocodile hunter in Australia, but unfortunately I didn't have a serious bay crocodile fishing at that time."

"This time I met a Nile crocodile that is no smaller than the Gulf crocodile, of course I want to win!"

"Crocodiles are fish, right?" Jiang Luoluo snickered when he heard this.

As for whether Chu Mingcheng could fish for crocodiles, she never doubted it.

The Nile crocodile can theoretically grow to 5.5 meters and weigh 1,600 catties.

However, Nile crocodiles of this size are very rare and not so easy to come across.

The normal Nile crocodile is only three meters five and weighs four or five hundred pounds, which is not as good as marlin and tuna!

The main thing is that there is a hunter by your side, and you can kill the crocodile at any time.

Seeing Chu Mingcheng's insistence, the hunter naturally didn't say much, and serving the tourists well was his main task.

As long as the service is good, the other party will be willing to give a considerable amount of tips.

Chu Mingcheng still had some experience in how to fish for crocodiles, but at present, they needed to find a suitable target first.

Since he challenged, of course, he wanted to challenge the giant Nile crocodile.

The giant Nile crocodile is at least four and a half meters long and may weigh more than 800 catties.

And they're so powerful that they can burst out with a force that's far greater than their own body weight.

Even if Chu Mingcheng's strength of fifteen hundred catties may not be able to please him, this is also the reason why he wants to fish for crocodiles on a whim, and he has not felt his blood boiling for a long time.

During this time, Jiang Luoluo hit a lot of guinea fowl and partridges, and the number reached more than 30.

The reason why she fights so much is because she is going to send some back to China so that her parents can also taste it.

Therefore, Chu Mingcheng also took advantage of the situation to take a few guinea fowl that had been slaughtered as bait.

The partridge is too small, and the size of the pigeon is not enough for the giant Nile crocodile.

Afterwards, they took a hunting cart and headed to some rivers.

There are a lot of Nile crocodiles, and they can be encountered in basically large rivers.

When they came to the river, they immediately found many Nile crocodiles hiding in the water as sticks.

As if noticing movement, they slowly dived into the water.

About 50 meters from the shore, the hunting car stops here.

Nearby, there is a wasteland, as far as the eye can see, with tall weeds and scattered trees almost two thousand meters away.

Of course, the environment at a glance is relatively safe, and if any dangerous animals are approaching, several people in the car can react at any time.

The driver and Jiang Luoluo were each holding shotguns in their hands to guard the surroundings, while the hunters were keeping an eye on Chu Mingcheng's side and supporting them at any time.

In front of them, there was a huge Nile crocodile lying on the shore and did not enter the water.

The Nile crocodile may have reached five meters in length and looked like it was all flesh, and it was the target today.

Chu Mingcheng had already gotten out of the car, took out a bundle of rope that he had specially connected, and tied it to the hunting car first.

Then he tied it around his waist again, and finally tied it to the tail of his heavy fishing rod.

This rod is very strong, and theoretically it is not a problem to catch two or three tons of sharks, and it is naturally not a problem to catch a much lighter crocodile.

The focus is on the fishing line, and whether the fishing line can withstand the pulling force of both sides is the most important thing.

Therefore, Chu Mingcheng deliberately used twelve thirty-gauge strong horse lines to weave a very thick fishing line, only a hundred meters long, with a hard eight-braided steel wire line.

It must be difficult to catch such a thick line fishing, and the fish is not stupid if the target is too obvious.

But the crocodile is so ferocious that it may turn a blind eye to even a very thick cable, and only the food in front of it can be seen.

After Chu Mingcheng was ready, he took out his heavy javelin and put it beside him, and then took out a guinea fowl and threw it at the Nile crocodile.

The throwing is still relatively accurate, just four or five meters away from the Nile crocodile.

The sudden movement startled the Nile crocodile, and it thought it was something dangerous, and immediately raised its head and opened its mouth to threaten it.

The next moment, however, an enticing scent broke into its sharp nose, as if it were the smell of food.

Turning his head and continuing to sniff, it was really food.

Why food fell from the sky, the Nile crocodile didn't think much about it.

But if you don't eat the food yourself, it will definitely be cheaper for other crocodiles, so it didn't think much about it, and got up and walked to the guinea fowl step by step.

Seeing that the Nile crocodile was successfully lured, Chu Mingcheng knew that the crocodile fishing plan was half successful.

When the Nile crocodile picked up the guinea fowl and ate it two or three times, he threw it again, this time about four or five meters away from it.

A guinea fowl is enough to eat a person, but for a Nile crocodile of its size, it's not even a snack.

There will be another one, where will it be able to endure it?

Crawl slowly again and eat this delicious guinea fowl.

At this moment, the bay crocodile was almost twenty meters away from Chu Ming City, and everyone on the hunting car was staring at this behemoth tightly.

When the Nile crocodile ate the guinea fowl again, the third time Chu Mingcheng threw the guinea fowl on his hook over, obviously not planning to let it get close again.

The Nile crocodile still didn't hesitate, but this time something went wrong.

After biting twice, a sharp pain suddenly came from the mouth.

Its bite is strong, and the sharp and thick hook immediately pierces its upper jaw, and even gets stuck in the bone of its upper jaw.

This sharp pain directly made the Nile crocodile frantically shake its head, and the fishing rod suddenly went down to the bay fiercely, and it was pulled "squeak".

"Drink~" Chu Mingcheng put the fishing rod on his stomach, and his hands used his strength to resist this huge force.

The muscles of his arms directly deformed the clothes, and for a while he turned into a muscular man.

"Wow~" The hunter and the driver exclaimed, their faces full of incredulity.

A human can resist the strength of a giant crocodile, even if he has a rope tied to his body to stabilize his body with a hunting vehicle, but it is still amazing enough.

Of course, borrowing a hunting car is an illusion, but in fact, Chu Mingcheng relied on all his own strength.

The sharp pain in the mouth of the Nile crocodile made it more and more difficult, and finally it couldn't help but use its own trick, death rolling.

The fishing line suddenly twisted I don't know how many times, but the fishing line is elastic, and the Nile crocodile is huge, and every time it turns around, it takes a lot of energy, so it has no effect at all.

Of course, the fishing line will still break when it is twisted to a limit, depending on which of the two sides can't hold it first.

For the next period of time, the two sides began to tug of war.

The Nile crocodile wanted to escape back into the water, but Chu Mingcheng held it back and didn't let it go back.

The Nile crocodile that returns to the water will be like a fish in water, and the river is full of crocodiles, it will be difficult to pull it up at that time, even if Chu Mingcheng opens the Seagod Mode, it will be very difficult.

More likely, the Nile crocodile's struggling movement will cause other crocodiles to attack, and it will eventually be eaten.

After resisting for half an hour, most of the Nile crocodile's physical strength had been exhausted.

It may have known that it couldn't return to the water, but its ferocity was completely stimulated, and it actually rushed straight towards Chu Mingcheng.

The hunter immediately raised his shotgun to prepare, and Jiang Luoluo was also nervous.

Chu Mingcheng didn't panic, because this situation had already been taken into account, and his long heavy javelin was used at this time.

As long as you are not timid, and you have a long iron or wooden stick in your hand, crocodiles really have nothing to fear.

Even if you can't subdue it, it's okay to retreat safely.

At least, the crocodile hunters in South Africa and Australia who catch crocodiles with their bare hands are really good, even if there are not many crocodiles who die every year.

Chu Mingcheng took out his right hand and picked up the javelin next to him, and hit the Nile crocodile on the head with the first blow, and then took two steps back.

The rope tied to his body was quite long, and the distance between him and the hunting vehicle was ten meters, which did not affect his activities.

The Nile crocodile was a little blinded by this blow, and instinctively raised its head to bite the javelin, but only bit the air, and itself stopped.

Then it didn't come back to its senses, and the javelin fell again with a second blow, hitting it the nose, and it smashed it directly.

The pain far outweighed the foreign body in the mouth, and the painful Nile crocodile rolled on the spot.

However, just as it turned over its body, Chu Mingcheng, who was extremely agile and fast, had already held the javelin upright and raised it high, and the next moment he threw the javelin out vigorously.

With a "poof", the javelin suddenly pierced the crocodile's throat and pierced it deeply.

Then Chu Mingcheng hurriedly ran back with a fishing rod, and jumped directly on the hood of the car to signal to the driver: "Hurry back, hurry back, it's crazy!" ”

The driver quickly woke up from the shock and hurriedly started the hind legs of the car.

Sure enough, the seriously injured Nile crocodile quickly threw off the javelin on his body, and then rushed directly towards Chu Mingcheng, the blood flowing down as if he didn't need money.

But after only running about 20 meters, it fell heavily on the ground and never got up again.

When the driver saw this, he stopped the car and did not go backwards.

Chu Mingcheng picked up the shotgun and mended it to the crocodile.

Originally, it was okay to wait for the crocodile to die completely, but this was in the wild, and the smell of blood could attract other predators at any time, so they had to move the crocodile back quickly.

After enjoying the process of crocodile fishing, Chu Mingcheng has no regrets about this trip to Tanzania.

Not to mention Jiang Luoluo, there have been a lot of birds in the past few days, and he went back to the boat to eat chicken.

The four prey, except for the leopard and the zebra, should not be sold at a low price, and they took the rest with them.

Jiang Luoluo also sent some guinea fowl and partridges back to China, including crocodile meat and bison.

These meats have legal certificates, and they can be sent in China, after all, the amount is not much.

Leaving the reserve and returning to the coastal city, the two used the money from the sale of meat to buy a lot of fruits and vegetables, and then returned to the boat with the dogs who had grown a lot of fat.

Clean up first, and dry all the quilts that should be dried, and then continue to set off.

Because of the geographical location of Tanzania, the next journey of Chuming City has changed a little.

They had planned to go to Mauritius for some fun, but now they have made a long detour there.

So in the end he planned to go directly through the Mozambique Channel between Madagascar and Mozambique and go to South Africa to resupply.

They do not plan to stay in South Africa because there is a long way from South Africa to Antarctica.

There was a lot of delay in Tanzania, and now it's late August, almost September.

They need to get to the South Pole in a three-month period and then stay at the South Pole.

Maybe it doesn't take three months to get from South Africa to Antarctica, but there will be many emergencies at sea at any time, and it is normal for the time budget to be longer.

And there are many well-known seafood in the Mozambique Channel, these are Chu Mingcheng's goals, and his next journey is not all in a hurry, he needs to fish all the way.

After a day and a half at sea, the Black Yao entered the Mozambique Channel.

As soon as they entered, a group of small wooden boats appeared in front of them and intercepted the sea channel in front of them.

Seeing a luxurious sailing ship coming, a black man immediately gestured, as if to stop them.

"Ah Cheng, what are they doing, the one in the lead seems to let us stop?" Jiang Luoluo saw this scene in the cockpit, and asked a little unclear.

"Leave them alone, just rush over." After Chu Mingcheng explained, not only did he not stop the boat, but he also accelerated and rushed over.

These small wooden boats had thrusters behind them and were faster than his sails for a short time.

You can't get around the detour, you can only rush through the customs directly.

Seeing that this huge luxury sailing ship not only did not stop, but rushed straight forward.

The black fishermen who had been intercepted quickly dispersed one by one so as not to be hit directly.

The Strait of Mozambique is a very important economic shipping lane, and unlike the Strait of Malacca, it is not under anyone's control.

So these black fishermen deserve to be killed even if they are hit, and no one will give them a head out.

Seeing that the sailboat had passed, Jiang Luoluo breathed a sigh of relief: "Anyway, why are these people stopping here, I always feel that they have bad intentions." ”

"It's nothing more than intercepting passing boats and then forcibly selling fish at a high price!" Although it was the first time that Chu Mingcheng had encountered such a situation, it was not that he had never heard of it.

"There are a lot of this situation in Southeast Asia, it's okay not to stop, but it's troublesome to stop and be surrounded. If you don't buy it, they won't let it go, and something even more extreme will happen. ”

"I see!" Jiang Luoluo suddenly said, "This is no different from robbery, right?" ”

"They're blackmail at best, and you'll be fine if you pay the money, but it's all up to you when you encounter pirates." Chu Mingcheng said with a smile.

These people are like second-rate people and murderers, at least they are just seeking money, and they basically do not harm their lives.

Of course, there are exceptions, and it depends on whether the person who drives the boat is stupid or not.
