The fish weren't eating much because of the cold weather, and he was still a little skeptical about whether the crocodile would take the bait.
He went out crocodile fishing despite being cooped up at home, which drew a lot of criticism.
Viewers, faced with a streamer who had just recovered from an illness and still had a stick strapped to his hand, had only one comment: "If you don't court death, you won't die."
"Can't you just stay quiet for a bit, streamer? You've only had a few days of peace and quiet and you're already out looking for excitement again."
"You still have so much food at home, and you're recovering from a serious illness while still injured. If you encounter any dangerous wild animals again, you're doomed."
"I think catching crocodiles as food is just an excuse; the wild king just wants to go out and have fun."
"Your Majesty, please don't be reckless!"
"The upstairs channel is having a crossover."
...
Li Sheng chose to ignore it, remaining a safe distance from the crocodile pool and waiting for the massive, armored creature inside to take the bait.
Along the way, he had confirmed that his foot was healed. If he couldn't beat them, he would run away. He could outrun a mere crocodile.
However, this large piece of meat did not cause much of a ripple in front of these crocodiles, probably because the temperature was too low.
After waiting for a long time, it finally attracted the attention of a large crocodile, which slowly crawled towards the lump of flesh as big as its face.
Her movements were extremely slow, like a ninety-year-old grandmother crossing the street, while he was like a driver rushing to work to clock in.
Even so, he still had to be patient; the most important quality a qualified hunter needs is patience.
As the crocodile slowly crawled towards the tiger meat, just as it got close to its mouth, Li Sheng pulled the rope, moving the tiger meat another twenty or thirty centimeters away from the crocodile's mouth.
The distance was just right, so close, only a step away from the crocodile. It wouldn't give up easily, so as expected, the crocodile moved forward.
But just as it was about to eat it, Li Sheng used the same trick again. The crocodile paused for a moment, but didn't think much of it and continued to move forward, repeating the cycle.
This was a long process, and he was afraid that Cuihua and the children would be exposed or that he would be unable to resist rushing in and doing it, which might alert the crocodiles in the pool, and things would get out of hand.
Seeing Li Sheng's cunning and scheming appearance, everyone began to feel sorry for the silly and dull-witted crocodile. After all, sympathizing with the weak is a human instinct that most people find hard to control.
Regardless of whether the target is a person or an animal, except for those that seriously threaten human beings, such as mosquitoes and cockroaches, which are universally hated.
"All you ever think about is eating. Soon, Crocodile, you'll become my dinner."
"Crocodile, run! Don't lose your life because of a tiny bit of temptation!"
"Oh my god, I'm going to be in big trouble today because of a piece of meat."
...
This sympathy doesn't seem like much sympathy at all.
Slowly, the huge crocodile was lured by the tiger meat to a place six or seven meters away from its lair.
Seeing that the distance was about right, Li Sheng immediately gave an order and gave Cuihua a hand gesture. Cuihua quickly pounced on the crocodile and began to bite it.
This is the result of his training of Cuihua and the cubs in the shelter these past few days. After all, he's always a bit of a restless person. He's only just developed the skill of animal taming, and this skill will be very useful if he survives in the wild for a long time.
However, crocodiles are not to be trifled with. At least their armor protects them from a great deal of damage, and their big mouths are not just for show.
At this moment, Cuihua bit the crocodile's neck tightly, but the crocodile sensed the threat and started spinning wildly on the ground, actually breaking free from Cuihua's control.
Turning around, wanting to quickly return to the group, this speed and strength were like the old lady grabbing eggs in the supermarket, bursting forth with enormous potential.
But Cuihua was no pushover either. She quickly rushed forward and bit the crocodile again. The crocodile tried to do another fatal roll, but Cuihua was not about to succeed.
Li Sheng quickly joined the battle, but he couldn't exert as much strength as before, since he was injured and needed to maintain a safe distance from the crocodile. However, the leopard didn't have much of an advantage, so he still had to put in the effort.
So he took a long stick and poked the crocodile's mouth. As soon as the crocodile opened its mouth, he would aim and poke it.
This tactic is undeniably ruthless.
The crocodile displayed its powerful bite force without mercy in the first two instances, but gradually it became unable to cope, after all, there was another heavyweight creature pressing down on it.
Cuihua bit the crocodile's neck tightly. In fact, even if the crocodile managed to return to its lair, it probably wouldn't survive.
Gradually, the crocodile's movements became sluggish, and its struggles lessened.
Finally, he lay motionless on the ground, letting Cuihua bite him.
Whether it was truly dead or not, Li Sheng made another gesture, and Cuihua immediately opened her mouth, released her grip on the crocodile's neck, and retreated.
At that moment, the crocodile suddenly sprang back to life and tried to escape.
He knew it.
But it was too late. He told Cuihua to let go not because he was sure the crocodile was dead, but because he wanted to make the crocodile's death a fact.
The moment Cuihua relented, his right hand had already swung the large axe down towards the crocodile's neck.
He named him Kai Cuihua to prevent accidentally injuring Cuihua, so the final result was very smooth; the crocodile's head and body separated in less than a second after it came back to life.
The head remained still, but the body muscles were very active, constantly twitching and spinning.
Mr. Li was satisfied and put the crocodile's body and head into his basket and took it home.
Looking at the live stream, he had a smug look on his face: "Today we're having stewed crocodile meat, grilled crocodile meat, and pan-fried crocodile meat. The first thing I'll do when it's done is feed it to you all."
My saliva involuntarily overflowed from the screen.
He absolutely did it on purpose.
Back at the shelter, a flock of chickens surrounded us as soon as we entered the yard. The chicks were already laying eggs, and with their good food, we could collect six or seven eggs a day.
Of course, there are also downsides, such as the yard needing to be cleaned frequently, since these pheasants have small heads and can't keep up with the rules of chickens.
After returning home, they immediately gave the crocodile's head to Cuihua and her cubs to grind their teeth.
Those fearless pheasants actually tried to peck at the food, but luckily Cuihua fed them well, otherwise these pheasants would have died countless times.
Seeing how diligently they laid eggs, he chopped up the crocodile's internal organs, mixed them with wild grass that chickens could eat, and fed them to them.
Next up is Chef Li's performance of "A Bite of Wilderness Survival".
These days, my cooking skills have become increasingly refined.
