Chapter 423: Chapter 398: Mr. Cheen, You Actually Wrestled with a Crocodile?

"Okay, let’s split up and get started," Lin Yi commanded with ease. Since they were camping, it was definitely better to collaborate and divide the work. Besides, they hadn’t eaten since getting off the plane, so it was a good opportunity to cook something up in the wild.

"I want to catch fish," Lin Xiaoxiao said playfully, raising her hand, and the girls next to her chuckled along.

"One group will set up tents, another will gather firewood, and another will collect wild vegetables and catch fish. Have the guide Bu Zan follow you; he will tell you what is edible," Lin Yi directed.

So everyone jumped to action, bustling with energy. Old Gao, who had brought his camera, began to capture the scene.

The air in the Primitive Forest was fresh, with luxurious green trees in the distance and a broad stream nearby. Flowing from afar, the water’s vigorous splash could almost be considered that of a river.

"Wow, there are so many fish here," Lin Xiaoxiao exclaimed joyfully. Li Chen looked over to see her and a group of girls already rolling up their pant legs, wading into the water to try their hand at fishing.

However, while there were plenty of fish in the water, these people couldn’t catch a single one; all you could see was a group of girls reaching into the water, splashing about.

Li Chen chuckled to himself, realizing catching fish barehanded was a tall order, especially for the girls.

Apart from fishing, some people wanted to try catching some wild animals to eat. Seeing a rabbit dart by, a male employee suddenly chased after it, gesturing wildly: "You little rascal, don’t you run away!"

This spectacle drew hearty laughter from those setting up tents.

Everything was so joyful, and Li Chen enjoyed the leisure, thinking that this pastoral life was truly good. A very famous poet even wrote: "I have a house, facing the sea, with blossoming spring flowers."

It roughly went like that. Such a state of mind was truly beautiful, but according to Li Chen’s idea, the house should be filled with beauties like Yingying and Yanyan. That would be true beauty.

Beautiful scenery plus beautiful people, just the thought of it felt comforting.

"I can’t catch them, I can’t catch them," Lin Xiaoxiao complained. She looked up to see Li Chen relaxing, so she called out, "Brother-in-law, come help me catch fish!"

Li Chen sauntered over lazily. "Xiaoxiao, you still haven’t caught any fish?"

Lin Xiaoxiao, annoyed, pointed at the fish in the water, "It’s not that I’m too clumsy; it’s that these fish are too crafty."

Crafty?

The girls next to her and Li Chen were taken aback, then burst into laughter. That adjective was well chosen indeed; the fish were cunning.

Li Chen laughed heartily, but just then, one of the girls in the water saw a rectangular object swimming towards them not far off.

That thing, why did it look familiar?

The girl was stunned for a moment, trying to recall what it was. It took her a while until she suddenly realized what it was, and her eyes widened in shock.

It was indeed a crocodile.

"There’s a crocodile!"

The girl cried out in panic, and the group in the water was startled, scrambling to shore. Suddenly, the crocodile surfaced, lunging at one of the girls, attempting to grab her and drag her underwater.

The employees setting up tents also looked over, catching the sight of the crocodile surfacing, and were frightened themselves.

"Be careful!"

Several employees shouted, watching as the crocodile was about to clamp down on the girl when suddenly, a figure appeared next to her. Then came a punch, smashing straight into the crocodile’s lower jaw with a heavy force that snapped the crocodile’s gaping mouth shut.

"Splash"

The crocodile fell back into the water, creating a huge wave.

Everyone was stunned. Damn, who was that strong, able to fight a crocodile?

What was a crocodile? It was the ruler of the waters! In an encounter, wouldn’t a person not stand a chance?

At that moment, the guide, who had just returned with the employees gathering wild vegetables, also witnessed the scene.

The guide’s heart, which had been in his throat, settled as he yelled, "Stay away from it! It’s a River Mouth Crocodile, very aggressive. Get away from the riverbank quickly."

But Li Chen only smiled slightly, thinking tonight’s meal was going to be great. They could have crocodile, not bad at all. It had been a while since he’d tasted crocodile, and he wondered if it was still as delicious as he remembered.

"Xiaoxiao, I’ll treat you to crocodile tonight."

Li Chen chuckled and, under everyone’s gaze, he jumped right into the river.

"What is he doing?" The guide was taken aback and hurried over, shouting at Li Chen, "Are you out of your mind? Get out of there! That’s a River Mouth Crocodile!"

The others were also bewildered. Had Li Chen just jumped in like that?

What was he planning to do?

The guide watched anxiously as Li Chen stood in the river, the water rising to his waist, and it was clear to see the crocodile from before swimming straight toward him again.

"It’s over, it’s all over," Bu Zan panicked. If something happened to someone on his watch, it would ruin his reputation; he could forget about working in this profession ever again, but this was his livelihood.

Everyone surrounded the scene, some people wanted to call out to Li Chen to come back, but they feared making things worse for him.

Everyone could see the crocodile speeding up, and as it neared Li Chen, it suddenly breached the surface again, its massive jaws opening wide!

"Ahh!" The guide couldn’t bear to watch any longer; he turned his back, convinced that the man would surely be shredded by the crocodile. "It’s my fault for not explaining the situation properly," he lamented.

Meanwhile, the others let out a scream as well, but soon, amidst the splashing water, they saw Li Chen firmly grasp the crocodile’s upper and lower jaws.

Yes, he just grabbed it like that.

Everyone was dumbfounded. Is this even scientifically possible?

The crocodile itself was also stunned, its two eyes staring at the human in front of it, filled with confusion and disbelief. Damn it, I’ve been the overlord of these waters for decades, and I’ve never encountered someone like you.

So you’ve managed to withstand Brother Croc’s bite force, eh? Not bad, not bad. But let’s see if you can withstand my second bite.

I bite!

The crocodile’s jaws strained against each other, its terrifying teeth seeming to tear Li Chen to shreds, but the next second, the crocodile found that its jaws hadn’t moved at all.

This, this, ahem, perhaps I didn’t use all my strength. Let me bite again!

The crocodile exerted force once more, still no movement.

Impressive, kid. I never thought I’d see such a formidable creature in my lifetime, but you won’t be able to withstand my next attack. I, bite!

This time, the crocodile started to twist its body frantically; its tail flailed madly, sending water splashing everywhere and even splattering onto the shore, drenching some of the girls.

Yet Li Chen still held the crocodile’s jaws steadily, no matter how it struggled, he never budged.

Holy shit!

All the employees on scene were astounded. This was superhuman strength.

The guide felt something was off. Why hadn’t there been any screams yet? When he looked toward the river, he too was shocked.

Damn it, what’s going on here? This isn’t at all what I expected.

As the water continued to splash, Li Chen casually flung the crocodile away. Its huge body was yanked out of the water, lifted into the air, then violently smashed back onto the surface.

"Bang"

A bigger splash ensued, but the onlookers remained transfixed.

It seemed like... he just flung the crocodile up into the air.

Li Chen, clutching the crocodile’s jaws, swung it wildly and finally smashed it down onto the riverbank. But with a remarkable life force, the crocodile twisted its body and slid back into the water, swimming toward Li Chen.

Damn, is Brother Croc going to lose his dominant position today? I can’t stand for this, absolutely not.

Then, those on the bank and the guide witnessed a man and a crocodile engaged in a fierce water battle, creating great waves and noise.

The sight was like that of a couple engaged in an intense, passionate "tussle."

Brother Cheen wrestling with a crocodile?

Hmm, although it feels strange, it’s quite fitting for the scene.

However, the situation seemed to be that Li Chen was dominating the crocodile. No matter how much it thrashed around, Li Chen easily neutralized its attacks and then severely punished the creature.

The guide had become numb. This person was even fiercer than a crocodile, damn, too horrifying.

After the man and crocodile battled for a while, Li Chen, feeling the play had gone on long enough, grabbed the crocodile and threw it onto the ground, smashing it down heavily, intending to kill the crocodile with the impact.

This is bad; Brother Croc’s life is probably going to end here. Before long, I might be turned into crocodile leather. Why is my life so tough?

"Smack"

The crocodile hit the ground, as Li Chen followed swiftly, raising his fist high like Wu Song fighting the tiger, and smashed it down onto the crocodile.

"Smack smack smack"

The sharp sounds rang out, and then the crocodile could struggle no more.

Well, it’s dead. This guy had a strong life force.

Li Chen dusted off his hands and stood up. When he looked up, he saw everyone was staring blankly at him.

"What are you all looking at me for?" Li Chen was perplexed.

"Cough, nothing much, let’s hurry up with pitching the tents, quickly." Everyone hurriedly looked away.

"Oh, it seems like we don’t have enough firewood. Let’s go find some more."

At that moment, Li Chen’s terrifying skills were deeply etched into everyone’s minds. Even the guide, seeing the dead crocodile, felt a twinge of pity.

But Li Chen seemed quite happy as he dragged the crocodile to the riverbank and started to skin it. After all, crocodile meat is quite delicious. It’s not every day you get such a dish; it definitely shouldn’t go to waste.

Lin Xiaoxiao and the other girls ran off to the side. After all, the scene was somewhat gruesome.
