As the crocodile floated out of the water, Abdullah slowed down the rhythm and strength of the pole hitting the water, and finally retracted the pole.
Lion Hunter played with his cigar and said, "Watch carefully, guys, Abdullah is going to close the net."
After the pole was retracted, the crocodile did not dive into the water, but stayed still on the surface.
Brother Wolf explained, "It is looking for an opportunity, and using a very slow speed, gradually approaching the shore. When it finds an opportunity, it will deliver a fatal blow."
There were two ways for crocodiles to attack. One was when they happened to be on the shore, where the prey was drinking, and they suddenly attacked and caught the prey.
The other was when they hid in the water and slowly emerged. This might scare the prey, and the prey would leave. At this time, the crocodiles would not rush. They would keep floating on the water, slowly approach the shore, and use the method of boiling the frog in warm water to hunt.
Apodu poured frog blood into the water. Giant frogs were crocodiles' favorite food. They were very sensitive to the smell of frog blood and easily attracted the crocodiles.
However, because the frog blood was scattered in the water, the crocodiles could not determine the location of their prey, so they would float to the surface to see the situation first.
The crocodile floated quietly on the water like a stone.
Apodu pulled open the wire at the head of the pole, and a leather rope came out of the pole, turning it into a harness.
Li Du guessed what Apodu would do, but it was quite simple and violent.
As he expected, Apodu held the pole and slowly brought the leather rope closer to the crocodile's head. Just as the two sides were close, he suddenly put the leather rope into the crocodile's head.
The crocodile was startled and struggled violently in the water.
It was so strong that Apodu could not hold it for a moment. He was dragged to the edge of the water, one foot in the water.
At this time, something strange happened!
The muddy water on the shore suddenly splashed, and a long, big mouth broke through the muddy water. It opened its mouth to reveal ferocious, sharp teeth, and was about to bite Apodu's calf!
Li Du had been watching the scene attentively. When the waves rolled, he knew that the situation was not good. He reacted quickly and used the little bug's ability to slow down time.
Everything became slow. He saw the crocodile open its mouth and saw its mouth gradually approaching Apodu, about to bite his calf.
At this time, Abdo had just reacted. His thin face showed a look of horror, but it was too late for him to retract his leg. His body was tied up by the crocodile, so he could not react freely.
Li Du stretched out his hand as fast as he could, grabbed Abdo, and pulled him back.
"Kacha!" The crocodile's mouth closed, and its ferocious teeth collided with each other, producing a dull sound that made people's teeth ache.
Li Du pulled Apodu back with much effort. The reason why it took so much effort was because Apodu was still holding onto the pole tightly!
Lion Hunter was taken aback. He was not surprised that there was a crocodile by the river, nor was it that Abdo still did not give up his pole in the face of death. It was Li Du's reaction speed. It was too fast!
Subconsciously, he exclaimed, "You are simply the God of Lightning!"
Abdo pursed his lips tightly and pulled the pole with all his might. He did not pay any attention to Li Du, as if Li Du had not saved his life.
Li Du yelled, "Still not letting go? Are you crazy? There might even be crocodiles lurking on the shore! "
Abdo ignored him. He gritted his teeth and dragged the pole with him, playing tug-of-war with the crocodile in the water.
Li Du pulled him back, but Lion Hunter shook his head at him and said, "Abdo wants to pull the crocodile up. You don't have to bother trying to convince him. He won't listen to you."
"Does he want to die?" Li Du asked.
Lion Hunter said, "This is the price of catching crocodiles. Every year, at least two people in our tribe die and two are injured while catching crocodiles."
"This is the price!" he repeated. "He has paid the price, and he doesn't want to give up the harvest."
Just like fishing, Abdo would sometimes let go of the pole and sometimes pull back hard. This would constantly exhaust the crocodile's strength, and when it was exhausted, it would inevitably be pulled up to the shore.
Li Du said unhappily, "You guys are really risking your lives to catch crocodiles. Is crocodile meat that delicious?"
Lion Hunter was about to speak when there was a cry of alarm from the shore of the swamp in the distance.
They looked back and saw a cheetah appear on the shore, slowly circling the bodyguard who was guarding the giant frog.
The person who cried out was naturally the bodyguard. "… Come and help, get rid of this beast! Roar! Go away! Or I'll shoot! "
The cheetah was not interested in people. Its eyes were on the giant frog on the ground, and it kept circling around the bodyguard.
There was still a distance between the cheetah and the bodyguard. The bodyguard was not in a good situation, but he was not in danger. Of course, he could not shoot the cheetah.
The bodyguard was not a sharpshooter, and the distance between them made him not confident that he could kill the cheetah with one shot. If he could not kill the cheetah with one shot, the cheetah would attack, and he would not have a chance to shoot a second time.
The explosive power of the cheetah was one of the best in nature, and its attack power was among the best on the African savannah!
So they did not have time to talk here, and hurriedly ran back to the shore along the way they came, roaring as they ran.
The appearance of the crowd frightened the cheetah. It turned its head vigilantly, noticed that there were many people, and began to step back.
Finally, when the group of people and the bodyguard met, the cheetah felt threatened, slowly stepped back a few steps, and then turned to run away.
When the lion hunter came ashore, he looked at the bodyguard with dissatisfaction and said, "It's just a cheetah. Look at your performance, like a woman. Why didn't you just shoot it?"
The bodyguard was called weak and timid by his boss, which meant that he would lose his job.
But the truth was right in front of him, and the bodyguard had nothing to say. His performance just now was really not good.
Li Du put in a good word for him and said, "The leopard just now was a pregnant female leopard waiting to give birth. It's not something a man would do to hunt such an animal. I think that's why your bodyguard didn't make a move."
The bodyguard knew that Li Du was giving him a way out, so he quickly nodded and said, "Yes, boss, its belly is very big, and it should be giving birth soon."
The lion hunter was very shrewd and sneered, "Is that so? Li, you saw it from so far away? "
Li Du was not a person who bullied the weak and did not fear the strong. He said, "Are you questioning my eyes? I saw the Hadza Hunter hiding in the bushes earlier. "
The corner of the lion hunter's mouth twitched, and he acquiesced to his statement.
Behind them, Abdullah came up dragging the dead crocodile. They had their harvest, and it was getting late, so they began to prepare for the return trip.
The prairie was lively in the evening. Many animals would come out at night to hunt and drink. They had a rich nightlife, and the evening was the time to start their nightlife.
On the way back, Ah Meow, Ah Ow, and the others went out and caught some small animals, such as wild rabbits, pheasants, and a deer. Together with the crocodile and giant frog, the harvest was considered rich.
