Extreme Night Wilderness Survival: Big Crocodile

Big Cat could travel 30 kilometers in an hour, but the current situation in the wilderness meant Big Cat couldn't move at full speed. Firstly, visibility was limited due to darkness, slowing their progress. Secondly, the roads were in poor condition after the flood.

Wang Yu could only ride Big Cat cautiously forward.

After about half an hour of travel without encountering anything, Wang Yu felt very frustrated. Finding this benefit was proving too difficult.

Suddenly, Wang Yu saw something moving in the water ahead. Just as he was trying to get a clear look, a massive black shadow lunged at him.

"Ah~" Wang Yu was startled.

At that moment, he felt himself flying through the air. He had been thrown by Big Cat.

"Ah~"

Wang Yu landed on the ground, grimacing in pain.

Fortunately, he had held onto the oil lamp tightly and wasn't thrown far. The oil lamp hadn't gone out despite the violent motion.

Through the lamp light, Wang Yu saw the situation ahead. A giant crocodile had Big Cat firmly in its jaws.

Wang Yu understood. He had been attacked by the big crocodile in the water. At the critical moment, Big Cat had thrown him to safety, while Big Cat itself was bitten by the crocodile.

To be precise, the big crocodile had likely targeted Big Cat. After all, Big Cat was relatively large and an ideal prey.

And Big Cat, unable to escape, had chosen to protect him.

In an instant, Wang Yu understood the cause and effect. He quickly took out a crossbow and aimed it at the big crocodile, firing.

Just then, Big Cat vanished in a puff of smoke. Big Cat was a phantom creature. When it sustained fatal damage, it would revert to its original form. As long as the 'Cat Eye' was unharmed, Big Cat could be summoned again after 24 hours.

Big Cat's sudden disappearance momentarily stunned the big crocodile. At that moment, Wang Yu's arrow arrived.

The distance was only a few meters. Wang Yu's first shot hit the big crocodile's eye. Wang Yu had naturally aimed for the eye, and in his haste, the shot was incredibly accurate.

The big crocodile, hit in the eye, reacted. It thrashed violently in pain.

Wang Yu immediately took out his second crossbow and pulled the trigger. Due to the crocodile's thrashing, he could only aim for its massive body now.

The arrow shot out and hit the crocodile's body, but an accident occurred. The arrow bounced back.

"What?"

Clearly, the arrow couldn't penetrate the big crocodile's hide.

It couldn't break through the defense. What should he do?

Wang Yu then took out his third crossbow. He aimed at the crocodile's side abdomen and pulled the trigger. He noticed that the crocodile's back was like armor, extremely tough, while its side abdomen was softer.

He pulled the trigger again. The arrow shot out and hit its mark. No accident occurred this time; the arrow penetrated the big crocodile's body.

Hit.

In three to four seconds, Wang Yu faced the big crocodile and shot three arrows. The first arrow hit the big crocodile's eye, the second arrow hit its back and bounced off, and the third arrow directly hit the big crocodile's abdomen.

Adversity builds character. Facing the big crocodile this time, Wang Yu was much calmer than when he encountered the black horned sheep. These half a month of survival games had indeed changed Wang Yu, making him a qualified survival game player.

At the critical moment, he keenly found the weak spot on the big crocodile's abdomen and shot it.

Hit by two arrows, the big crocodile quickly turned around and wanted to escape back into the pond.

Wang Yu naturally wouldn't let it have its way. It came, but it wanted to leave.

"Summon Giant Stone Technique."

"Bang~"

A big stone, over six meters long and more than five meters high, suddenly appeared out of thin air and then fell heavily.

With a loud bang, dust flew up from the ground.

The big stone naturally didn't hit the big crocodile, but blocked its escape route back to the pond.

Blocked by the giant stone falling from the sky, the big crocodile was startled and scurried around in panic.

The big crocodile wanted to escape in another direction.

At this moment, Wang Yu had a flash of inspiration. He quickly took out a torch and lit it.

To stop this big crocodile, a torch was naturally the best choice. No wild beast fears fire.

As the big crocodile tried to escape elsewhere, Wang Yu, holding the torch, blocked its path.

Wang Yu dared to confront it because he saw that the big crocodile was seriously injured and had lost an eye. Its speed crawling on the ground was severely affected. He could completely entangle with the big crocodile while holding a torch.

Thus, Wang Yu, with a torch in one hand and an entrenching tool in the other, began to fight the big crocodile. When the big crocodile wanted to run, Wang Yu stepped forward to block it. When the big crocodile wanted to attack him, Wang Yu skillfully retreated.

When the enemy advances, I retreat; when the enemy retreats, I harass. The goal was to prevent the big crocodile from escaping.

With the torch held in front of him, the big crocodile feared it and didn't dare to confront him directly. Wang Yu's footwork was agile, and he occasionally used the entrenching tool to strike the big crocodile a few times. The big crocodile became extremely agitated, which was exactly what Wang Yu wanted.

Hit by two arrows, the big crocodile wouldn't last long. Wang Yu intended to wear it down until it died.

More than ten minutes later, the big crocodile was on its last breath and stopped struggling. This big crocodile had a very tenacious will to live. Besides being hit by two arrows, it was also struck dozens of times by Wang Yu's entrenching tool.

Afterward, the big crocodile disappeared before Wang Yu, and three prompt messages appeared on the ground.

[Iron-Backed Giant Crocodile Meat 27kg]

[Iron-Backed Giant Crocodile Skin * 1]

[Silver Coins*4]

Wang Yu saw the three items on the ground and collected the Big Crocodile's 54 jin of meat and skin, along with the four silver coins.

He had been ambushed by the Big Crocodile just now, which was truly perilous. It seemed the wilderness was becoming increasingly dangerous.

Wang Yu drank some water and rested for a quarter of an hour before getting up to continue on his way. He wanted to keep searching for benefits.

The previous Big Cat could no longer be summoned within 24 hours, so he summoned a second Big Cat.

Mounting the Big Cat, Wang Yu continued on his journey, now even more cautious than before.

At the same time, Wang Yu switched to using Torchlight for illumination. In the wild, various unexpected situations could arise, and Torchlight would be more convenient for dealing with them. The encounter with the Big Crocodile just now proved this point for Wang Yu.

If his Oil Lamp had been extinguished during the attack by the Big Crocodile, he would have been in danger. He had to thank the Big Cat for that; when the Big Cat threw him, it did so with excellent force, preventing the Oil Lamp from being blown out.

Thinking of this, Wang Yu patted the Big Cat's back. Although this Big Cat was a summoned creature, it was truly excellent.

After traveling for more than half an hour, the second Big Cat's duration was nearing its end, and Wang Yu still hadn't encountered a single benefit.

With a thousand benefits randomly scattered across the wilderness, finding them was no easy task.

This also had to do with Luck; if one was lucky, they could encounter one right after leaving.

If the second Big Cat's duration ran out, he would have to turn back. For safety's sake, he wanted to keep two Big Cats to return to the Shelter.

He opened the Prompt Message and checked the status of the benefits [Remaining Benefits: 1000/1000], meaning that out of the thousand benefits, not a single one had been claimed.

This was good news; he could take his time searching for benefits. It was also bad news, indicating that the benefits were not so easily obtained.

Just then, a Prompt Message popped up.

[Ding, a benefit 'Fruit of the Birch Tree' has been discovered 300 meters ahead. It has been displayed on the 'Game Map'. Please proceed with caution to claim it.]

"Found it."
