Chen Yang extended the lasso to the giant crocodile, which was also staring intently at him. However, crocodiles are farsighted, so it was unclear whether they could actually see Chen Yang clearly.

The lasso slowly approached the crocodile's open mouth, and it looked like it was about to snag its upper jaw, but the crocodile suddenly pounced on Chen Yang. Chen Yang quickly retreated, and the lasso missed its mark.

The crocodile lunged once and then stopped moving. Chen Yang stepped forward again and slowly extended the lasso. This time, he successfully lassoed it.

Chen Yang suddenly pulled the lasso, tightening it and binding the upper jaw of the large crocodile. Sensing the pulling force, the crocodile immediately closed its mouth and began a death roll.

This was truly a death roll; the entire earth trembled as he rolled, leaves fell, and dust almost obscured the view.

Chen Yang dodged quickly, maintaining a safe distance from the crocodile no matter how it rolled around. The rolling caused the rope to become entangled in the behemoth's mouth, rendering its powerful bite ineffective.

Chen Yang was worried that the crocodile would break the rope, so he had to maintain a safe distance from it at all times, keeping the rope from getting too tight, just like fishing. If the fishing line is too tight, the fish will struggle violently and easily break free.

The key is to maintain the right tension so that the prey doesn't struggle desperately. Once the prey has struggled enough, it will run out of energy.

Chen Yang was trying to wear down this big guy, exhaust its strength, and then figure out a way to kill it.

Even though this big guy is incredibly strong, it is still a crocodile. Crocodiles have one of the strongest bites in the animal kingdom, but once their mouths are bound, it is very difficult for them to open them again.

After realizing that the death roll was useless, the crocodile frantically shook its head, trying to break free, and Chen Yang could only follow its movements by moving his spear left and right.

“Don’t even think about breaking free,” he said to the crocodile.

As if it understood, the crocodile stopped shaking its head and charged at Chen Yang, who quickly retreated.

Crocodiles are very agile underwater and are the rulers of swamps, but on land, they are slow and sluggish, with only their tails able to flick a couple of times.

Chen Yang was positioned in front of the large crocodile, leaving it with nowhere to use its tail.

Unable to catch Chen Yang and unable to break free, the crocodile resorted to an extremely shameless tactic.

Go into the water!

It ignored Chen Yang and walked into the water. With Chen Yang's strength, he couldn't hold it back at all, and he didn't dare to pull too hard.

"You're the lord of the water, you can't be so shameless." Chen Yang picked up a stone and threw it at the crocodile's face, but it ignored him. It didn't hurt the crocodile at all.

The giant crocodile continued its descent into the water. If it entered the water, Chen Yang would have no choice but to give up. Fighting a crocodile in the water was almost as dangerous as fighting a tiger bare-handed. And this creature was far stronger than an ordinary crocodile; if Chen Yang went into the water with it, he would surely die.

He grabbed several stones and smashed them against the crocodile's head. Finally, just before the crocodile was about to go into the water, one of the stones hit its eye. It screamed pitifully and rolled around on the shore.

Chen Yang carefully controlled the rope, maintaining a distance from the large crocodile.

The giant crocodile crashed into a tree, snapping the tree, which was only as thick as an arm, in two. However, it also expended a lot of energy; with such a massive size, moving around actually required even more effort.

Wow~ Wow~

Just when Chen Yang felt hopeful, he suddenly heard an ominous sound.

He looked up and, sure enough, a group of monkeys had gathered in the tree sometime earlier. They were a type he had never seen before, and he didn't know what kind of monkeys they were.

However, no matter what kind of monkey it is, if it comes to cause trouble at this time, it is not a good monkey.

"Wah~ Wah~" the monkey shouted at him.

"Ah!" Chen Yang shouted back at them, wanting to let these monkeys know that this was not a place they could trespass. Although he wasn't sure if it would work, he had seen an explorer use this method to drive away baboons.

Wow~ Wow~

"ah!"

Wow~

"Ah! Ah!"

Wow~

Ah~

Chen Yang felt like an idiot, arguing with a bunch of monkeys while also having to watch out for the crocodiles. It was like walking a dog and running into a bunch of kids, having to both leash the dog and stop the kids from causing trouble.

After the crocodile injured its eye, it seemed to lose its sense of direction. Once, it rolled all the way to the riverbank but then rolled back, which gave Chen Yang a fright.

Wow~

Ah~

The shouting continued, the monkeys never came down, and the crocodile, having completely exhausted itself, lay down on the ground to rest.

How could Chen Yang let the opportunity slip by? He gripped the spear he had been using as a fishing rod and aimed it at the crocodile's other eye, stabbing it into its head through the eye.

After struggling for a while, this swamp overlord met its end in the swamp.

"Waaah~" the monkeys cried out in alarm, but they hadn't left yet.

After confirming the crocodile's death, Chen Yang was less nervous. He was confident in dealing with the monkeys; monkeys weren't the type to fight to the death for invasion, and this place wasn't originally their territory.

"Congratulations on completing the mission. Mission completion rate is 96%. You have obtained the advanced Eagle Eye, which increases your locking ability. You will need one hour to adapt after the modification. Please wait patiently."

The notification from the Micro World APP appeared before Chen Yang's eyes. He sat on the ground, overjoyed by the 96% completion rate, which gave his tired body a bit of strength.

He took out fire-starting tools and tinder, and quickly started a fire. When the monkeys saw the fire, they let out another strange cry.

"Why aren't they leaving? They're like a persistent ghost." Chen Yang frowned.

Then he looked at the large crocodile and moved the fire next to it.

The crocodile was too big for Chen Yang to carry. Even after removing the blood, internal organs, and other unnecessary parts, it still weighed several hundred pounds, and it was still in a muddy swamp, making it impossible to transport.

He drained the crocodile's blood and removed its internal organs, filling the air with the stench of blood. This was a dangerous act that could attract other animals, so he tried to move as quickly as possible. Fortunately, the surrounding area was water, so there was no chance of large carnivores like lions, wolves, or tigers.

After dealing with all that, Chen Yang was finally able to drag the crocodile to the center of the small piece of land. He lit three fires to surround himself and the crocodile, which would keep most of the creatures at bay.

By this time, about an hour had passed, and Chen Yang began to sense the difference.

The objects in his field of vision became increasingly clear, as if the resolution had increased from 1 megapixel to 20 megapixels. Even distant objects were clearly visible. This wasn't like a crocodile with farsightedness; he could see clearly both near and far, even spotting ants on a tree several meters away. Moreover, the more he focused his attention on a particular point, the clearer his vision became, like a camera focusing. He could even clearly capture the movements of a buzzing mosquito.

At this moment, Chen Yang raised his head, looked at the group of persistent monkeys above, and smiled.

"Provoking me comes at a price."

He picked up a stone and threw it at a monkey that was noticeably larger than the one in the tree.

The monkey dodged quickly, but still couldn't dodge. The combination of its wolf-like muscle control and eagle eyes was too strong; even a monkey as agile as it was couldn't escape.

The monkey was hit by the stone and fell from the branch it was standing on. It then quickly climbed to another branch. Chen Yang showed mercy and did not hit it hard.

The other monkeys came running over with shouts. Chen Yang quickly threw out a few stones, but only one missed. He hadn't fully adapted to Eagle Eye yet.

The monkeys that were hit let out strange cries. The first monkey that was hit cried out, and the rest of the monkeys ran back. The troop of monkeys quickly left.

"hey-hey."

Chen Yang smiled smugly, very satisfied with the effect of Eagle Eye.
