Survival male god

Chapter 186 Where is the Giant Crocodile?

Whoa!

The water splashed, and Chen Jing threw himself into the mud, then stabilized his figure, firmly grasped the bone spear, and pried the huge thing he had just pierced out of the muddy water.

A "strange fish" with a body length of more than half a meter, covered with blue-gray lines, and an extremely long snout appeared in everyone's sight.

The strange fish kept struggling, and its thick tail whipped Chen Jing's chest with pain.

The latter picked up the bone stick and slammed it hard on the fish's head, and the "strange fish" immediately became silent.

Next, Chen Jing stabbed it in the head with a knife, completely ending the life of the "strange fish".

"This thing is really powerful, does anyone know it in the live broadcast room?"

As if showing off, Chen Jing held the "strange fish" in front of the camera. He reckoned that the fish he caught weighed at least thirty catties.

Early in the morning, after waking up, he started to prepare today's food. Before the battle, he must make sufficient preparations.

If you can't eat enough, how can you have the strength to fight?

Apparently, he was lucky, and after spending less than an hour, he had an astonishing harvest.

Glancing at the barrage, Chen Jing nodded slightly.

"That's right, it's an alligator gar, and it's an extremely ancient fish."

"The alligator gar belongs to the order of gar, the family of eel, and the genus of large gar."

"Predominantly found in river and estuarine waters along the Gulf of Mexico from Mexico to Florida, USA."

"Often live in the lower reaches of rivers, estuaries, and small lakes, and feed on other fish, as well as crabs, shrimps, turtles, birds, and small mammals."

"Seeing that the two rows of fangs in its mouth are missing, if you are bitten by it, your fingers may be gone!"

"This thing is really scary. It can grow to nearly two meters long, and it is usually more than 1.2 meters long."

"What I caught was a baby alligator gar, but it was enough to feed me for a day."

"A long time ago, the aborigines in the Americas ate this kind of fish, and even used the hard diamond-shaped hard scales of the alligator gar to make arrows."

"Also, we need to be very careful whether we're catching this fish or eating it."

"Because alligator gar is not only fierce by nature, but also has toxins in its body. If you don't handle it well, you may die from food poisoning."

"The toxin of the alligator gar is mainly concentrated in the visceral glands. When handling it, we must be careful. Once the internal organs are accidentally cut, the fish cannot be eaten."

Chen Jing hugged the big fish and returned the same way.

It took more than half an hour, and he finally cleaned up the alligator gar perfectly with a nail knife.

The poisonous internal organs were buried in the mud by him.

But for such a big fish, Chen Jing only took two loins from the back of the fish that were away from the internal organs.

"The alligator gar may not be known much in China. In foreign countries, it is listed as one of the top ten ferocious freshwater fish, and it is also known as an "ecological destroyer"."

"Once it invades a remote water source, it will cause great damage to the local ecosystem."

"And also as a poisonous fish, its reputation is far less than that of puffer fish."

"The scales of this guy are very difficult to remove, and the meat is rough, so it is not sought after by the majority of fish lovers."

"But it's different for survivors. The principle we follow is to eat whatever we have!"

"Even if its taste is bad, compared to some insects and plants, it is rare delicious."

Light a fire, place the crocodile gar meat on the coals, after a short while, the fish meat will emit a fragrance.

Chen Jing took out the wild orange from his backpack, cut it up with a knife, and squeezed the sour juice on the fish.

"This will slightly neutralize the earthy smell in some of the fish."

"It would be better if there were pepper and salt, but unfortunately the conditions are really not allowed."

"Come on, let me taste how it tastes?"

Chen Jing picked up a large piece of alligator gar meat with wooden chopsticks, blew it twice, and put it in his mouth to chew.

"The taste is really not good. Even the small alligator gar has very rough meat and distinct fibers. It tastes like cotton thread soaked in wax."

"Soft on the outside, tough in the middle."

"Barely score sixty points, pass!"

This score is actually not too low, but compared with the snowflake grouper, one is in the sky and the other is in the ground.

However, to Chen Jing's surprise, after swallowing the first mouthful of crocodile gar meat, a system prompt came in his mind.

He actually triggered the system's "Gluttony" milestone achievement again, and the collection progress changed from 5/10 to 7/10.

The last time it was triggered, it was the snowflake grouper, and the last time it was the heart of the giant python.

From this point of view, he was only short of 3 rare ingredients, and he could get the milestone reward of the second stage, not only with points, but also with additional special evolution points.

After eating and drinking enough, I checked the time, it was 4:28 am on April 9th.

There was no sun this morning, and there was a gust of wind in the swamp. Through the gaps in the woods, you could see the dark clouds gathering in the sky.

It is already late April, and the influence of ocean currents and monsoons will increase the precipitation along the Gulf of Mexico.

It will be very dangerous to stay in the depths of the swamp until the middle of May, and it will completely enter the rainy season.

At this moment, Chen Jing just realized that he had been in the Manchak Swamp for more than 20 days.

This piece of wilderness restricted zone, which is only 56 kilometers long and wide, has surrounded him for so long.

If it was an ordinary wilderness, according to his foot strength, it might only take two days to completely cross.

It can be seen from this that, just as he expected at the beginning, the challenge of this issue is indeed very difficult.

After talking about his worries about the future, Chen Jing also made up his mind. If it takes another week and he still can't find the real "swamp giant crocodile", then no matter what, he will give up this goal.

If the flood of the Mississippi River really came with the rainy season, even if he had great skills, he would never be able to leave Manchak alive.

To do a task is to do a task, no matter what you do, you can't lose your life.

"But it won't happen today. It's very hot and suffocating. There should be a rain in the afternoon."

"I don't want to drive in the rain in the swamp. I'll lose my temperature and catch a cold."

"Before it rains, I will add a rain-proof roof to the shelter, and tie three crossbars to the higher places on these three trees."

"Then use the same method to build a layer of branches and leaves."

"Besides I have to gather dry firewood."

"Once it rains, it's very humid everywhere, and then you have to make a fire, and firewood is a very important resource."

The audience also lamented the difficulty of Chen Jing's trip.

Entering the wild jungle swamp with bare hands and bare feet, with nothing.

Relying on the broken fishing nets he found and assembling nails, Shengsheng persisted in the Manchak Swamp for more than 20 days.

The hardships involved can be imagined. This is not a pre-recorded video, but a live broadcast. It can be said that everything that Chen Jing does, every detail, is exposed to the eyes of the audience, and there is no need to cheat. Chance.

Thinking about it from another angle, the two unlucky ghosts, Hank and Joseph, only stepped into Manchak for three days, offended the python and lost their lives.

And they are long-renowned wilderness adventurers. If they are ordinary people, how long can they last in this kind of place?

Maybe he just fell headlong into the swamp and couldn't get out again, let alone cross the entire swamp.

There is no doubt that Chen Jing is the well-deserved god of the wilderness. Such a statement is being recognized by more and more people around the world.

【"It's not completely crazy yet, I'm relieved."

"Indeed, the sky is big and the earth is big, and life is the biggest."

"To do meaningful things is to live well. This challenge is already exciting enough!"

"If you can't find a swamp giant crocodile, it doesn't matter if you kill an ordinary one!"

"Yes, the size of an alligator can never be as big as that of a crocodile. It can even eat sharks, and it's okay to kill an ordinary one."

"Understood, Jingshen Niubi!"]

It was a lie in Chen Jing's heart to say that he was not moved, but it was precisely because of this that he wanted to fulfill his promise even more.

The cowhide has been blown out. Although he doesn't care about some people's gossip, if the expectations of the audience who really like his live broadcast fail, it will be a bit ugly after all.

On April 4, it was cloudy and rainy for two consecutive days.

In early May, it turned sunny.

For the next few days, Chen Jing searched for traces of giant crocodiles in the Manchak Swamp, but found nothing.

It wasn't until May 5th, when the agreed week was approaching, that he woke up.

"I have always felt that there are few creatures in the rainbow pond, and they are full of carrion of birds and animals. Ordinary creatures cannot survive there for a long time."

"So subconsciously thought that the swamp giant crocodile would not be inside, so I didn't go in and search."

"Is there a possibility that the giant swamp crocodile can really survive in a poisonous pool with excessive heavy metals?"

Chen Jing fell into a dilemma.

If he enters the rainbow pond swamp forest, the plants and animals inside are likely to be inedible, and if the battle cannot be resolved in a short period of time, he will have to withdraw, and the challenge will still end in failure.

But at this point, if he doesn't go in and take a look, he is really not reconciled.

【"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"You have said that ordinary animals cannot survive in it, even if a crocodile can, what does it eat? Is it vegetarian?"]

Chen Jing lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said meaningfully:

"The mystery of this world is far beyond our imagination. There are many existences that cannot be understood and explained. Just one day, if I really can't find the giant crocodile, I will give up."

"Walk……"
