The Gala Crocodile was a creature that only existed in comics.
According to the comic, the level of the Gala Crocodile was [Capture Level 5].
(Capture Level 1 was defined as a wild beast that could only be captured by ten professional hunters with hunting rifles.)
That was the rating given by IGO (the fictional organization in The Captive of Food). Of course, the individual's ability would affect the capture level. A young Gala Crocodile and one that had lived for more than one hundred years would naturally be several levels lower.
The Gala Crocodile lived in the Balon Islands, a dangerous area where about 200,000 species lived. It stood at the top of the local ecosystem.
It had a body as large as a hippopotamus, a back that was hard like a washboard, eight short legs, an ugly and scary flat face, and a pair of cute eyes.
It had hard scales, strong teeth, sharp claws, and a bite that weighed more than three tons. The most troublesome thing was that it had a large number of Balon Leeches living in its mouth. The wounds caused by these leeches were hard to heal, and the bleeding would continue for a long time.
In conclusion, this was an animal that a normal person would not be able to defeat.
However, there was a man who chose to launch a surprise attack on her on a stormy night ….
…
It was 7: 47 pm. There were still fifteen minutes until the time limit of Kevin's summoning.
By then, Feng Bujue had already entered the depths of the swamp on Carnabis Island with Kevin leading the way.
"This is bad … The water level has risen so much compared to this afternoon …" Brother Jue, who was following behind Kevin, used his hand to wipe the water off his face as he mumbled, "This is not good … Even if a level thirty player came (this was Brother Jue's current assessment of Kevin's ability), to fight the Gala Crocodile in waist-deep water … it would be difficult …"
However, even though he knew the severity of the situation, Brother Jue had no choice but to do it. The reason was … Kevin's summoning time limit.
Perhaps the person who designed [Bell's Daily Knife] wanted to use it as an excuse to complain about the broadcast time and cycle of a certain program …
In any case, the setting of 'Cooldown Time: 1 Week, Active Time: 45 Minutes' basically announced that Kevin could only be summoned once in a scenario.
For this kind of summoning interval, unless there was something extreme, like the player obtaining something that could greatly reduce the cooldown of equipment, Kevin would not appear twice in the same scenario.
Therefore, Feng Bujue, who had already summoned Kevin, was caught between a rock and a hard place.
It would be a huge waste if he didn't use this summoned creature that had combat power that far exceeded that of a normal person. But if he wanted to use it … it seemed that there was only one thing that was most suitable for him to do — hunting Galalligators.
Thus, Brother Jue gave the order to "lead the way" and followed Kevin into the swamp despite the heavy rain.
Anyway, Feng Bujue had already thought it through. When the time came … he would watch from afar and let Kevin fight the Galalligator alone. It would be best if he could beat it, and he could complete both the side mission and the challenge at the same time. If he couldn't beat it … he would simply give up on the side mission and wait until the rain stopped to kill an ordinary small crocodile. He could also complete the challenge.
After walking for another five minutes, Kevin suddenly stopped and said, "There's something up ahead."
At that moment, there was a flash of lightning in the sky.
Suddenly, the swamp was lit up like it was daytime.
Using the light, Feng Bujue quickly straightened his neck and looked over Kevin's shoulder. Even though the water droplets on his eyelashes and eyelids made his eyes sore, he still saw the giant shadow about twenty meters away.
"This is a f * cking dinosaur …" Feng Bujue raised his hand to wipe his face. (To prevent it from getting wet, he put the pistol inside the plastic bag that he used to store marijuana, so he was holding the military shovel with one hand.) He cursed under his breath. "Didn't the crew forbid the appearance of dead people? Why would they put such a deadly animal on the island?"
He asked a good question. Why?
Actually, the reason was very simple. Because … this kind of animal was not much of a threat to humans.
Seeing this, there would definitely be people who would be confused. How was this possible?
That was a long story …
…
First, he had to explain the basic setting of this scenario.
In fact, Feng Bujue had been to this universe before. This … was the universe of the Old Earth Wasteland.
This time, Seeking Poison in the Wild took place in the year 2460, five years after the Village of Heavenly Blessing incident on Old Earth.
The humans in this universe had already taken the first step toward interstellar colonization at the end of the 22nd century (see Chapter 129). After so many years, they had naturally found many celestial bodies that were similar to Earth. For example, at that moment, Feng Bujue was on a planet called Fourth Earth.
Due to the high level of technology and the abundance of resources, war had disappeared from the human world. Therefore, one day in the 24th century, a group of scientists who were bored to death (they might have been military munitions makers in the past) decided to launch a "biological rescue project" and began to study the genes of various endangered, extinct, and ancient creatures …
After decades of hard work, this group of people succeeded.
The zebra and Florida black wolf that appeared on the island were two extinct animals from Old Earth that were 'resurrected' by genetic technology. Creatures like these … were not rare in this universe. They could be seen everywhere in the wild. They were like mongrels. Sometimes, to control the population, the local government would even encourage hunting.
Then … after the 'Biological Rescue Project', a strange project called 'Biological Improvement Project' was added to the agenda of the group of people who had nothing better to do.
Another few decades passed, and with the birth of another Nobel Prize winner, the project was a success.
From then on, in the deserted wilderness (mostly islands), many strange creatures appeared, like the Gala Crocodile, Balon Tiger, Sucker Snake, Giant Land Shark, and many other strange creatures appeared. According to the scientists, "This is a test of the existing ecosystem, so please don't worry."
In conclusion … for these humans in the 25th century, as long as they were willing, they could even create King Kong.
In the end, it was back to the original question, why were these animals not lethal?
That was because … all the creatures born through the 'Biological Improvement Project' were implanted with a "special gene", and the only function of this gene was to make them lose their advantage when fighting against humans.
For example … For example, mosquitoes. If the humans in this universe wanted to eliminate mosquitoes, they could completely tamper with the mosquitoes' genes and turn them into an animal that would be "poisoned to death as soon as it came into contact with human blood."
Similarly, the products of the Biological Improvement Project carried similar genes since the day they were born. For them, human pheromones, body odor, blood, skin, and flesh … were all things that they feared. When they encountered humans, they would basically run away immediately out of instinct. Even if they wanted to resist, they would quickly be poisoned to death.
Remember the conversation between Bell and Not Deaf?
"Okay, okay … I know. We were the ones who chose the venue together, remember? I saw the list of animals there … And, to be honest, I didn't really care … Coyotes, black wolves … It didn't make much of a difference to me. "
From our perspective, Not Deaf's attitude at the time might have been a bit cold, but in that universe, most people had this kind of 'don't know, don't care' attitude toward animals. Because animals had become something like 'clothes', they could be mass-produced and adjusted at will. There was no longer 'endangered' or 'extinct', there was only an 'overpopulation'.
There was a digression here …
Thankfully, Feng Bujue had no idea that the technological level of this universe had reached that level. The scenario that he experienced happened to take place in the wilderness. So far, the most high-tech product that he had seen … was the floating camera next to Clam Wells. If Brother Jue knew that … there were other high-tech products on this planet, such as portable railguns, ants (a kind of nano robot technology in this universe), anti-gravity fighter armor, and so on, the consequences would be unimaginable … At that time, would he still care about the competition? Of course, he would go directly to the Dolphin, take hostages, and contact the local government to send him some firearms. That would be the right thing to do …
…
Then, after understanding the background setting, he returned to the story …
"Kevin, you go and kill it." After Feng Bujue saw the giant shadow, he completely gave up on the idea of going forward. A few minutes ago, he did think that if possible, he should go and help Kevin, but now … that thought had disappeared.
"Okay." A second later, Kevin answered in a very normal tone, and then he strode forward.
Feng Bujue stayed where he was, providing moral support.
Kevin was indeed a summoned creature from a Legendary-tier equipment. In the swamp that was more than a meter deep, he carried a video camera (Although it had been broken by bullets, Kevin still insisted on carrying it) and strode forward in large strides. To him, the storm was like a gentle breeze, or a loli spitting out water. His tall body was like an iron tower, and he was not affected by the wind and rain at all.
Roar!
Suddenly, a low roar that was as loud as thunder came from the front.
The roar seemed to have substance. It tore through the thick air and penetrated the deep darkness.
This was the king of this swamp, giving a final warning to the 'enemy' that was approaching him.
Unfortunately, Kevin would not listen. The order that he received was clear, and there was no possibility of retreat.
