Chapter 357 Challenge the Giant Nile Crocodile
In the next two days, Chu Mingcheng hunted zebras and African bison respectively.
Zebra meat, like horse meat, is old and has a strong fishy smell, so it needs to be processed with heavy ingredients.
Out of curiosity, Chu Mingcheng and Jiang Luoluo tasted the zebra meat raised in the camp. As a result, the meat almost made them faint as soon as it was served.
The smell is really bad, but it tastes very good and chewy.
But in the end, the two decided to give up on zebra meat and choose to sell it.
The bison Chu Mingcheng shot weighed more than 1,600 kilograms, and even after slaughtering, it still weighed more than 1,300 kilograms.
With the addition of the edible offal, the two of them could eat it all the way to Antarctica.
Now, they are one Nile crocodile away, and this hunting trip will end here.
"Cheng, do you really want to use this?" The hunter looked at the fishing rod in Chu Mingcheng's hand, somewhat speechless.
But Chu Mingcheng laughed: "I am actually a senior fisherman and like to challenge all kinds of large fish. So far, I have challenged a marlin of 800 kilograms and also caught a bluefin tuna of more than 700 kilograms."
“I used to be a crocodile hunter in Australia, but unfortunately I didn’t catch crocodiles seriously at that time.”
"This time I encountered a Nile crocodile, which is no smaller than the Gulf crocodile. Of course I want to win!"
"A crocodile is also a fish, right!" Jiang Luoluo snickered upon hearing this.
As for whether fishing for crocodiles in Chu Mingcheng was possible, she had no doubts.
Nile crocodiles can theoretically grow up to 5.5 meters long and weigh 1,600 kilograms.
However, Nile crocodiles of this size are very rare and not easy to encounter.
A normal Nile crocodile is only three and a half meters tall and weighs four to five hundred kilograms, which is not as good as marlin and tuna!
The most important thing is that there are hunters around who can kill crocodiles at any time.
Seeing Chu Mingcheng's insistence, the hunter naturally stopped talking and serving tourists well was his main task.
As long as the service is good, the other party will be willing to give a considerable tip.
Chu Mingcheng still has some experience on how to catch crocodiles, but now they need to find a suitable target first.
Since it was a challenge, 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 eight hundred kilograms.
Moreover, they are very powerful and can explode with force far greater than their own body weight.
Even if Chu Mingcheng had the strength of 1,500 kilograms, he might not be able to get a good result. This was why he wanted to catch crocodiles on a whim. He hadn't felt excited for a long time.
During this period, Jiang Luoluo shot a lot of guinea fowl and partridges, with the number reaching more than thirty.
The reason why she beat so many was because she planned to send some back to her country so that her parents could try them too.
Therefore, Chu Mingcheng also took advantage of the situation and took a few slaughtered guinea fowls as bait.
Partridges are too small, no bigger than pigeons, and not big enough for the giant Nile crocodile.
Afterwards, they took a hunting car and headed to some rivers.
There are a lot of Nile crocodiles, and they can basically be found in large rivers.
When they arrived at the river, they immediately discovered many Nile crocodiles hiding in the water as sticks.
Seemingly noticing movement, they slowly dived into the water.
About fifty meters offshore, the hunting car stopped here.
There is a wasteland nearby, stretching as far as the eye can see, with tall weeds and scattered trees only about two thousand meters away.
The clearly visible environment is of course relatively safe, and several people in the car can react at any time if any dangerous animals approach.
The driver and Jiang Luoluo each held shotguns in their hands to alert the surroundings, while the hunter was paying attention to Chu Mingcheng's side, ready to provide support.
In front of them, there was a huge Nile crocodile lying on the shore without entering the water.
This Nile crocodile may be up to five meters long, and its body looks full of meat. It is today’s target.
Chu Mingcheng had already gotten out of the car, took out a bundle of ropes that he had specially tied, and tied them 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 fishing rod is very strong. In theory, catching a shark weighing two to three tons is not a problem, and catching a much lighter crocodile is certainly not a problem either.
The key point is the fishing line. The most important thing is whether the fishing line can withstand the pulling force from both sides.
Therefore, Chu Mingcheng specially used twelve pieces of No. 30 Dali horse line to weave it into a very thick fishing line, only one hundred meters long, and matched it with eight-braided hard steel wire.
It will definitely be difficult to catch fish with such a thick fishing line. The target is too obvious and the fish will not be stupid.
But the crocodile is so ferocious that it may turn a blind eye to even a very thick cable and only see the food in front of it.
After Chu Mingcheng was ready, he took out his heavy javelin and put it next to him, then took out a guinea fowl and threw it towards the Nile crocodile.
The throw was relatively accurate, just four to five meters away from the Nile crocodile.
The sudden movement startled the Nile crocodile. It thought it was something dangerous and immediately raised its head and opened its mouth to threaten it.
However, the next moment, an alluring fragrance broke into its keen nose, which seemed to be the smell of food.
I turned around and continued sniffing, and it was indeed food.
Nile crocodiles don't think much about why food falls from the sky.
But if you don't eat the food first, it will definitely be cheaper for other crocodiles, so it didn't think much, got up and walked step by step towards the guinea fowl.
Seeing that the Nile crocodile was successfully lured, Chu Mingcheng knew that the plan to catch the crocodile was half successful.
When the Nile crocodile picked up the guinea fowl and ate it into his stomach two or three times, he threw another one over, this time about four or five meters away from it.
A guinea fowl can be a meal for a human, but for a Nile crocodile of such a huge size, it is not even a snack.
Now another one is coming, how can it bear it?
Climb slowly again and eat this delicious guinea fowl.
At this moment, the Crocodile was almost twenty meters away from Chuming City, and everyone in the hunting car was staring closely at this behemoth.
When the Nile crocodile ate the guinea fowl again, Chu Mingcheng threw the guinea fowl on his hook for the third time, obviously not intending 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 my mouth.
Its bite is strong, and the sharp and thick fishhook immediately pierces its upper jaw and even gets stuck on the bones of its upper jaw.
This severe pain directly caused the Nile crocodile to throw its head wildly, and the fishing rod suddenly slammed into the water, making a "squeaking" sound when it was pulled.
"Drink~" Chu Mingcheng put the fishing rod on his belly and used both hands to resist the huge force.
The muscles in his arms directly stretched the clothes out of shape, and he suddenly turned into a muscular man.
"Wow~" the hunter and the driver exclaimed, their faces full of disbelief.
A human being could withstand the strength of a giant crocodile. Even though he had a rope tied to his body and was stabilized by a hunting car, it was still amazing.
Of course, using the hunting car was an illusion. In fact, Chu Mingcheng relied entirely on his own strength.
The severe pain in the Nile crocodile's mouth made it more and more unbearable, and it finally couldn't help but use its own trick, death roll.
The fishing line immediately twisted countless times. However, the fishing line was elastic and the Nile crocodile was so huge that it took a lot of effort to turn every time, so it had no impact at all.
Of course, the fishing line will still break if it is twisted to the limit. It depends on which of the two parties can no longer hold on first.
In the next period of time, the two sides began to fight.
The Nile crocodile wanted to escape back into the water, but Chu Mingcheng held on tightly to prevent it from going back.
The Nile crocodile that returns to the water will be like a fish in water. In addition, the river is full of crocodiles. It will be difficult to pull it up by then. Even if Chu Mingcheng turns on Poseidon mode, it will be difficult.
The greater possibility is that the struggling Nile crocodile will cause other crocodiles to attack and eventually be eaten.
After resisting for half an hour, the Nile crocodile had exhausted most of its energy.
Perhaps it knew that it could not return to the water, so its ferocity was completely aroused, and it actually rushed straight towards Chu Mingcheng.
The hunter immediately raised his shotgun and prepared, and Jiang Luoluo was also very nervous.
Chu Mingcheng did not panic, because this situation had already been taken into consideration, and his long and heavy javelin was used at this time.
As long as you are not timid and have a long iron or wooden stick in your hand, crocodiles are really nothing to fear.
Even if they can't be subdued, there's still no problem if they want to retreat safely.
At least those crocodile hunters in South Africa and Australia who catch crocodiles with their bare hands are really good, even though not many crocodiles are killed every year.
Chu Mingcheng freed up his right hand to pick up the javelin next to him, and hit the Nile crocodile hard on the head with the first blow, and then took two steps back.
The rope tied to his body is quite long, and the distance between him and the hunting car is ten meters, so it will not affect his activities.
