Chapter 007: Sweep of the Crocodiles
The crocodile rolled and floated on the murky river water
Liu Yun found what he said interesting and couldn't help but smile slightly
A moan escaped, and under the light of the ship, Xu Le clearly saw that Liu Yun's face had turned pale.
After a while, Shan walked out somewhat helplessly: "Oh my God, they really have so much energy that they don't know where to release it, as if the crocodile is just an illusion of ours"
The performance of Tao Cheng in the river is indeed astonishing; he swims leisurely towards the boat with Jill, and should any crocodile attack him, he would certainly fend them off with his fists and feet
According to Liu Yun, each bottle of this medicine costs fifty reward points. It is remarkably effective for treating external injuries and swellings. Even in the case of a fracture, as long as the affected area is realigned and this medicine is applied, recovery will only take one to two days.
"Take it easy, buddy." The team doctor, Doug, approached Xu Le and said, "If I were you, I would thoroughly check your shoulder to see if it's broken."
Zhang Fei the cat devoured his portion ravenously, eyeing the serving in front of Tao Chengshi with a hint of envy
Jack and Cole came over from the left and right to help him up, then patted him on the shoulder: "Well done! Buddy"
After a while, a disheveled Bandao Ge brought the medicine. Xu Le received it but did not use it; instead, he opted for the special medicine that Liu Yun had obtained from Tao Cheng.
Xu Le raised an eyebrow, not expecting the situation to develop in this way. Looking at the expression on Liu Yun's face, it was clear that she was already feeling a bit jealous
Xu Le curled his lips and sheathed the dagger: this guy is truly one who only responds to punishment rather than sustenance, he will only behave if given a taste of authority
Tao Chengshi's performance is truly unlike that of a human; a crocodile could not possibly approach him, even a crocodile in the water. He can directly lift it up with his foot, as if he were playing on flat ground.
After applying it, the effect was indeed remarkable; a slight cool sensation rose from the shoulders, and the feeling of soreness and swelling had completely disappeared. By the time dinner came around, Xu Le felt no discomfort whatsoever.
Xu Le tilted his head and turned back, placing the dagger against Bandage's neck: "If there is indeed a god, then the god would say, you are a son of a dog. Stop the nonsense and give me the medicine!"
Tao Cheng snorted and stood up: "Eat up, and don't be a burden when it's time to escape"
Let me conspire against a woman with you
After dark, the lights on the ship were lit, and Teran came out to distribute food to everyone. Tao Cheng held a goblet and leisurely sipped the liquid that might be blood; whether it was due to dislike or because his vampire lineage forbade it, the food in front of him remained untouched.
Xu Le smiled, still staring at the crocodile in the river. Another crocodile lunged at Tao Cheng and Jill. This time, Xu Le was neither flustered nor hurried; he even felt as if he had memorized the sensation of firing a gun. With this almost inspirational feeling, he once again pulled the trigger in his hand
Bandog smiled and said, "No problem, but could you do me a small favor?"
Bill Johnson looked at him in surprise, Liu Yun also glanced at him in astonishment, while Xu Le disregarded them both, simply pulled the gun's slide and fired another shot
Zhang Fei Cat opened his mouth but did not dare to say much, forcing a smile as he retreated to the side, lowering his head to begin eating slowly.
Tao Cheng cast a sidelong glance at him, further disregarding him. He reached out and wrapped his arm around the waist of the nearby Black female scientist, Jill, leaning down to whisper something in her ear. Jill appeared somewhat shy, and Tao Cheng chuckled again, shaking her gently. Only then did she start to giggle, and the two of them walked towards the small room on the ship.
Hurry up! Xu Le whispered sharply, the dagger shifting slightly, as if it were ready to slit his throat at any moment
"Well, it's not bad." Xu Le glanced at Shan, who had golden hair and an exceptionally large mouth, feeling that he still found it difficult to understand the aesthetic views of these Westerners
Kill one crocodile, or receive a reward of 50 points
Kill one crocodile to receive 50 reward points
Xu Le smiled and said: "People, if not for the sake of steamed buns, then for the sake of pride. I can't see it clearly anyway, so I might as well act on impulse."
Optional Side Quest: Help Bandog, who originally dies in the movie, survive, and ensure that he and his beloved Shan can live together. Upon completion of the quest, a reward of 2,000 points will be granted, along with a C-level script and a scroll of illustrations. If the quest fails, the corresponding rewards will be deducted.
Tao Cheng smiled and winked at Jill: "How is it going, Black Girl?"
The crocodile's corpse suddenly sank into the river, and Xu Le vaguely saw the patterns of a python through the murky water. He knew that at this moment, the giant python would not come out to kill. If it were to emerge now, would the expedition team continue to venture deeper?
At present, Tao Chengshi and Liu Yun treat themselves with kindness, yet ultimately, this cannot change their inherent nature of exploitation. If one does not quickly become stronger, then even if one survives this mirrored world, one will still perish in the next mirrored world.
Xu Le's face darkened; he never expected that the first person to be bitten to death by the giant python would be such a peculiar character. Even in death, he had nothing to lose. Since the task was already accepted, Xu Le decided not to be polite: "God said, those who commit many injustices will surely bring about their own demise. This benefactor, take care of yourself."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Fei Cat shrank back slightly, no longer daring to look at Tao Chengshi
Tao Cheng cast a glance at him, set down the high-stemmed wine glass, and impatiently scolded, "What use do you have, you useless fat cat? Look at Xu Le; he managed to kill six crocodiles this afternoon. You just hide away, and now I see you again at mealtime. You are truly a worthless good-for-nothing! What else can you do besides eat?"
A message suddenly alerted Xu Le, who was taken aback and began to calculate: Shan was originally a protected individual; if she died, he would lose 2,000 reward points. If he took on this task again, and if Shan died, he would lose 4,000 reward points and a C-level plot scroll, which meant he would be doomed.
Looking again at the river, many crocodile corpses have already floated by, and Tao Chengshi is now only a little more than two people away from the ship's railing, so there should be no problem now
Bandog smiled wickedly: "That girl named Shan is truly stunning, isn't she? I really want to have a good time with her just once"
Jill stared at him blankly, then suddenly rushed over and hugged him: "Thank you! Really, thank you! You saved my life!"
It was not until a piece of information reached Xu Le's mind that he finally reacted, turning to look at the crocodile floating on the river's surface with its white belly exposed, and suddenly, an indescribable excitement filled his heart
Everyone let out a sigh of relief. Tao Cheng swam to the side of the boat and handed Gil up, before climbing up himself. Once he reached the gunwale, he lay down on the deck, panting heavily, looking as though his vigorous struggle in the water had exhausted a great deal of his strength.
Benedict's eyes widened: "You cannot ... ... "
"I think you can help me, right?" Bandog said with a smile
Xu Le nodded and extended his right hand: "Then, doctor, please give me some medication to reduce swelling and relieve pain."
There is a sensation in the shoulder as if it has been struck hard by someone, yet it is still bearable. Xu Le pulls back the bolt and readies herself once more, aiming at the crocodile in the river
Others may not have seen the situation clearly, but Liu Yun understood it perfectly: "Xu Le m.hetushu.com, what is there to argue about? Our special medicine is much better than their medicine"
Xu Le remained unmoved; he had a sense that perhaps with any movement, this thing that felt like inspiration would slip away from him.
The black line on Xu Le's forehead is about to appear: Is this called liking? This is just a beast in a fit of passion, alright?
Let’s take a gamble; keeping this team doctor alive shouldn’t be too difficult. With this thought in mind, Xu Le no longer hesitated. After accepting the task, he asked Bandao Ge, "What on earth requires my assistance?"
After Xu Le fired three more shots, he finally began to run out of ammunition. His shoulder also started to ache faintly. He fired two more shots, hitting only one target. Gritting his teeth, Xu Le had no choice but to hand the gun over to Tran. He knew that his good fortune had come to an end; the three hundred reward points he had earned from earlier were nothing short of a pleasant surprise.
However, this is merely a should; from the moment the crocodile group appears, the entire adventure will differ from the original film.
Bandog curled his lips and said, "Then I apologize for the inconvenience, but I am out of medical supplies here"
However, the preciousness of the plot scrolls inevitably stirred Xu Lexin's heart: a C-grade plot scroll is certainly more useful than a D-grade one; if she missed this opportunity, she feared she would never have another chance to obtain it
Bill Johnson and Xu Le worked in perfect harmony to deal with the crocodiles attacking from both sides, while the crocodiles in front and behind would need Tao Cheng to handle himself.
"Alright! I will get you the medicine right away!" Bandog said hurriedly
"Well done, kid," said Bill Johnson
