This was Qi Xiaoyan's prey. It was obvious that she had shot off course and hadn't killed her with a single arrow.
At that moment, the crocodile was struggling to escape into the water, and the surrounding crocodiles seemed to sense the danger as well…
They all fled into the water...
Seeing this, Ye Feng and Qi Xiaoyan reloaded their arrows and fired another arrow at the same time...
This time, both arrows struck the crocodile's head squarely... and its body immediately stopped struggling.
He lay prone about a meter above the water...
Meanwhile, the largest crocodile was also pierced through the back of the head by Ye Feng's arrow.
It passed away peacefully, without even a struggle, and had already fallen asleep...
"Hahaha! Well done!"
Ye Feng laughed loudly and quickly jumped down from the tree, giving Qi Xiaoyan a high-five in celebration...
"Wow, you're amazing! I never expected someone who plays calligraphy to be such a good archer!"
Qi Xiaoyan gave an awkward laugh…
"This is hardly good. If you hadn't fired the arrow in time, that crocodile would probably have run into the water."
"That's exactly what I was going to ask you. How did you get so sure there would be a big crocodile today?"
Ye Feng paused for a moment, then spoke:
"Actually, when I came here, I didn't expect to encounter such a big crocodile."
The baby crocodile being attacked by ants. It looks like it was only recently born, and female crocodiles have a strong maternal instinct.
They will take care of the baby crocodiles for a long time, until the baby crocodiles are able to hunt on their own.
I originally intended to kill a female crocodile, but I didn't expect such a huge creature to suddenly appear.
"oh…"
Qi Xiaoyan nodded…
"Looks like we're in luck; this should be enough bait..."
"More or less. Go and call them to get to work. I'm going to collect the arrows now."
"Um."
Upon hearing this, Qi Xiaoyan immediately ran back...
Ye Feng also nocked his bow and arrows and slowly walked onto the shallows...
He carefully observed the surrounding river water, because there were already a dozen pairs of eyes staring intently at him.
Ye Feng didn't know what the crocodiles were thinking, but he didn't dare to be careless...
In this situation, he must get rid of these guys as soon as possible before he can safely take the arrows.
So he turned around, picked up a few stones, and threw them at the crocodiles in the water while cursing.
"What are you looking at! If you keep looking, I'll shoot you a few more arrows!"
"Thump!"
The stone hit the water, and the crocodiles immediately dived underwater…
I don't know if they left or went into hiding...
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ye Feng quickly dragged the crocodile at the edge of the shallows to the side of the large crocodile.
You wouldn't know unless you compared them. Although they are both adult crocodiles, this big crocodile is at least 50 or 60 centimeters longer than the small one.
Moreover, his body had become much more robust, and there were at least a dozen dry, cracked scars on the black scales on his back.
It's obvious this was caused by a fight with other crocodiles; to have survived this long, it must be the king of this river...
But even its tough scales were no match for the composite bow…
Ye Feng's arrow was the original quadrilateral arrowhead, which pierced its head directly, and the arrowhead even stuck into the ground.
After collecting the arrows, Qi Xiaoyan and her three companions arrived just in time…
When they saw the enormous crocodile up close, everyone was astonished…
Liu Sisi's eyes widened in disbelief; she seemed to have never seen such a large crocodile before...
"My goodness, Brother Feng, you're amazing... This is huge, it'll take us a long time to eat it, won't it?"
Ye Feng waved his hand...
"It looks big, but once the skin and internal organs are removed, the amount of meat will be reduced by at least half."
Enough with the chit-chat, this isn't the place to chat. Let's move them to a safe place first.
After saying that, the five of them worked together to carry the two crocodiles back to the dense forest they had come from…
After they put everything down, everyone was exhausted. Only then did Ye Feng realize that he seemed to have overlooked an important issue.
He estimated that the crocodile weighed at least 900 pounds...
The baby crocodile weighed about 700 pounds, so if you think about it that way, it would weigh over 1,600 pounds in total.
Each person had to carry more than 300 kilograms of weight and walk for more than an hour through this rugged rainforest.
This is absolutely impossible...
After discussing it for a while, Ye Feng decided to break it down right there.
They first cut off the crocodile's tail, took the best part of the tail, and discarded the rest.
Then they chopped off the head and limbs, because Liu Sisi repeatedly emphasized that the crocodile head skin would be of great use to her…
So Ye Feng and his group spent a little more time removing all the skin and teeth...
More than an hour later, only the torsos of the two crocodiles remained...
This greatly reduces the weight, making it much easier for the two people to carry it, one in front and one behind.
Around 4 p.m., after five people took turns carrying each other, they finally returned to the camp.
However, today's tasks were not yet completed, and after a short rest, they began a new round of busy work.
In the rainforest, meat spoils very easily, so they have to dry it quickly.
With their previous experience dissecting wild boars, this task was very simple for the three men.
Efficiency has also increased significantly...
In just over an hour, they dismantled all the parts of the crocodile…
Apart from the meat, skin, and some edible offal, everything else was put into the backpack.
This was their main purpose for the trip, and also the main bait they used to catch wild boars.
After the dissection was completed, Fu Changxiong and Qi Xiaojie began smoking the excess crocodile meat…
Ye Feng roughly estimated that they had harvested about six or seven hundred catties of edible pure meat this time.
The shrinkage is indeed severe, but there's nothing that can be done about it. Just those two crocodile heads and skin alone must weigh at least 200 pounds...
But speaking of crocodile meat, it's a very nutritious food...
Because it contains rich high-quality protein, essential amino acids, as well as various unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins, and trace minerals.
It can not only replenish qi and blood, but also nourish the heart and lungs.
This is definitely a meat even more precious than wild boar meat…
It was almost 5 o'clock, and Ye Feng thought that there definitely wouldn't be enough time to go up the mountain to slaughter the pig today.
And even if they were killed, there wouldn't be time to process the pork...
Everyone has been exhausted these past two days, and they've been eating mostly pork jerky.
Therefore, Ye Feng decided to have a lavish dinner tonight…
Let's reward everyone for their hard work and boost morale...
After thinking it over, he told Qi Xiaojie and Qi Xiaoyan to stop working and go catch fish and shrimp...
He then picked up an axe and chopped down a cedar tree as thick as a thigh…
He decided to make several more bowls to use as containers for soup and vegetables…
After all, it's not very civilized for several people to take turns using one bowl.
And if anyone has a disease or bacteria, then the whole thing is over.
At 8:30 p.m., the treehouse was ablaze with fire and filled with laughter and cheerful conversation…
It formed a stark contrast with the pitch-black forest outside…
