Chapter 371: Chapter 40: Hippo’s Great Contribution

Speaking of the hunting skills of crocodiles, the most impressive one is the death roll.

When a giant beast, three and a half meters long and weighing hundreds of pounds, bites you and starts to spin its body.

No creature can remain unscathed under such a violent attack.

From skin tearing, muscle ripping, to bones and tendons being twisted and broken, and finally limbs being ripped off.

This desperate process not only causes physical harm, but also brings immense psychological trauma.

Before starting his survival journey, Chen Wen had encountered a guide with a missing leg from the show’s crew.

His leg was torn off by a Nile crocodile using a death roll.

Even though his injury was from ten years ago, when he talks about Nile crocodiles, there is still intense fear in his eyes.

Therefore, Chen Wen remains highly vigilant against the death roll of the Nile crocodile.

As soon as the Nile crocodile underneath him plans to roll, Chen Wen grabs the rope and escapes.

He pushes off with his left leg, his body falling to the right.

After his shoulder collides with the ground, Chen Wen immediately starts rolling, tumbling to the right to escape.

The Nile crocodile began its roll in place.

Both man and crocodile turned simultaneously, but the Nile crocodile’s roll was slightly sluggish on land.

Chen Wen rolled much faster.

Rolling about three meters away from the Nile crocodile, feeling the rope in his hand tighten, Chen Wen immediately stopped rolling and stood up.

He clutched the rope, not letting it slip from his hand.

The Nile crocodile rolled in the mud, though sluggish, it was extremely powerful.

In his hyperthermic state, Chen Wen struggled with all his might, only to slightly delay the rope slipping from his hand.

With a ripping sound, the rope slipped from his hand and flew out, and Chen Wen couldn’t help but grunt.

A bit breathless.

”Damn, it’s strong!”

Chen Wen exhaled.

Moments later, the Nile crocodile slowly stopped rolling.

The rope lay beside it.

As if sensing an opportunity to escape, the Nile crocodile turned its body, intending to flee to the Kuanduo River.

...

Seeing this scene, many contestant assistants couldn’t help but get nervous.

Chase it!

If you don’t chase it, it will escape!

Could this hunt end in failure?

Though their contestant and Chen Wen were in opposition, everyone wanted to see Chen Wen and the hippo work together to capture an adult Nile crocodile.

Lin Jiawei was nervously pressing on the table.

Jiang Chang, having come over with nothing to do, couldn’t help but lean forward, gripping the back of the chair tightly with both hands.

But to everyone’s surprise.

Chen Wen didn’t chase.

He even stopped, looking like a spectator.

This left many contestant assistants a bit puzzled.

But soon, they understood.

Because at the riverbank, a hippo slowly emerged from the water.

Droplets dripped from the hippo, creating circular ripples on the water’s surface.

Whoosh!

With a heavy snort, the hippo blocked the only path for the crocodile to enter the water.

The Nile crocodile, its mouth bound by rope, emitted low growls, trying to intimidate the hippo.

The hippo slowly opened its mouth, remaining river water dripping down its mouth’s curve.

Roar—

The hippo’s low growl was even more powerful!

And even more intimidating.

Even though Chen Wen wasn’t the target of the growl, he couldn’t help but feel a bit tense.

These gigantic animals, even when you know they mean no harm, every move they make is nerve-wracking.

The Nile crocodile in the forefront was intimidated by the growl.

Its growls became more subdued as it slowly retreated.

But behind it, Chen Wen was far more dangerous than the hippo!

While the Nile crocodile’s full attention was on the hippo, Chen Wen already wielded the axe.

The steel axe shone with a unique metallic luster under the sunlight.

Up went the axe, down it came.

A perfect ambush!

When the sharp axe blade tore the skin on the Nile crocodile’s head, it realized Chen Wen’s ambush from behind.

The Nile crocodile bent its body left, trying to bite Chen Wen.

But its mouth was tightly bound by the rope, unable to open.

Chen Wen swiftly jumped to the other side of the crocodile, wielding the axe once more.

Like a lumberjack, he coldly swung the axe, striking down!

The Nile crocodile’s proud defense was nothing against industrial technology.

Bright red blood flowed from the wound.

Two powerful axe blows left the Nile crocodile severely injured.

And for a wild animal, severe injury means death.

Even if Chen Wen now released the Nile crocodile and let it escape into the water, it wouldn’t survive afterwards.

This time, Chen Wen struck deeply, exerting effort to pull the axe from the crocodile’s head.

The Nile crocodile’s body had already begun to twitch and stiffen.

”It’s dead.”

After releasing the hyperthermic state, Chen Wen gently rubbed his temples, enduring the discomfort.

The heightened state greatly enhanced his body, but the discomfort was hard to bear.

After all, Chen Wen is still a warm-blooded animal.

The hippo’s presence became less potent then.

It looked at Chen Wen and his axe with some trepidation.

Its increasing intelligence allowed it to understand that the dangerous item could kill it!

Because the Nile crocodile, which it couldn’t do anything about, was easily killed by Chen Wen with that item.

And Chen Wen’s current state also unnerved the hippo.

His gaze towards the Nile crocodile was nearly identical to that towards the hippo.

The hippo didn’t dare to respond immediately.

With the Nile crocodile’s body completely stiffened, Chen Wen returned to normal.

The intense concentration in his hyperthermic state had thinned his emotions.

Now he was back to normal.

Chen Wen smiled lightly and said, ”Successful hunt! The hippo is the hero this time!”

”This time’s crocodile meat, the hippo can eat it all with no issue!”

Feeling Chen Wen’s change in mood, the hippo relaxed a bit.

It grunted twice, saying rather grandly, ”No, no, I’ll just eat once, meat isn’t as tasty as grass.”

With that, the hippo returned to the water, soaking in it.

Today’s sun was rather harsh, and the hippo could barely withstand the intensity of the sunlight.

Chen Wen took out a machete.

Last time dealing with the Nile crocodile, using a spear was rather inconvenient.

This time, he finally had a handy tool.

Dragging the Nile crocodile to the water’s edge, Chen Wen swung the axe, first chopping off the crocodile’s head.

The crocodile’s head was like chicken ribs.

Tasteless if eaten, a pity to discard.

Though there was plenty of meat on it, the taste was quite ordinary.

Thus, Chen Wen planned to leave the crocodile’s head for the hippo, as it wasn’t picky and would eat the innards too.

After roughly stripping the meat from the head with the machete and feeding it to the hippo,

Chen Wen started to formally process the Nile crocodile.

Innards, left for the hippo.

The outer scales and tough skin were stripped by Chen Wen directly using the machete.

He didn’t have the time to remove old scales bit by bit.

Then came dismemberment.

Some meaty parts were left by Chen Wen for the hippo.

In the end, Chen Wen left with nearly half of the crocodile meat.

The hippo eats a lot every day and its nutritional absorption is quite poor, as evident from its excretions.

This guy can poop three hundred pounds a day!

So, leaving more isn’t a problem.

And this time the hippo was instrumental in stopping the Nile crocodile.

”Well, take your time eating, I’ll head back to camp first.”

Chen Wen said, wrapping up the remaining crocodile meat in its skin, and returned to camp.

The hippo blew bubbles in the water, then went ashore to nibble some meat when it felt soaked enough.

After feeling slightly sunbaked, it returned to the water to reset its temperature.

The first collaborative hunt concluded perfectly.
