Chapter 259: Hunting Alligators (Part 1)

Chapter 259 Hunting Alligator (Part 1)

Noah knew where Laishia's home was, so he sent her home directly.

Chu Mingcheng returned to the hotel alone, made a video call with Jiang Luoluo, and then fell asleep.

The next morning at eight o'clock, Noah knocked on the door and told him something about the profit distribution after the crocodile was sold.

Follow Laishia, he has no money.

And Noah himself can only get 10% of the total profit, mainly because he does not participate in direct hunting, and usually works as a assistant.

According to his own statement, he is more afraid of death, and he is satisfied with doing simple things and getting some money.

But Chu Mingcheng is a newcomer, Noah has asked several friends, but none of them are willing to bring a newcomer.

In the end, Laishia was more talkative and willing to take him in, but he had no money.

Chu Mingcheng frowned, he didn't expect Noah to say this now.

But it doesn’t matter if it’s said sooner or later. After all, if the dangerous creature like the crocodile is not taken with him, he will not go hunting rashly, and his life will be lost if he is not careful.

Seeing that Chu Mingcheng had no objection, Noah took him to Laishia's house.

On the way, he hesitated for a while, as if he wanted to say something.

Seeing this, Chu Mingcheng couldn't help saying: "Noah, just say what you have to say!"

Noah shrugged when he heard the words, and said bluntly: "Okay, then I'll tell you. Cheng, in fact, you shouldn't reject Laishia. As long as she is happy last night, she might give you 10% of the profit."

"But now she obviously won't give it to you, so you can only accumulate some experience. At that time, I can introduce individual crocodile hunters. You go and shoot videos for him, and help him along the way."

Chu Mingcheng was a little speechless: "Uh, Noah, I don't care if I have money or not. The important thing is that I need some experience in hunting crocodiles and going to the wild so that I can do it alone."

“A 10% profit is more than 2,000 Australian dollars. For me, this price is not worth wasting time.”

"Do you want to go it alone?" Noah slammed on the brakes and parked the car on the side of the road with a shocked expression.

Chu Mingcheng nodded with a smile: "Of course, if Noah is willing to be my photographer, you can do me a little favor by the way. I don't mind giving you an extra 10% of the profit."

But Noah had no intention of joking: "You are crazy, so many hunters die at the hands of crocodiles every year, you'd better dismiss this idea."

"It's okay, you can watch my performance first." Chu Mingcheng didn't discuss this issue too much.

Some things can only be trusted if the other party sees them.

If Noah hadn't helped him a lot, and he really needed someone to help him with the filming by the way, otherwise he would definitely do it alone.

Seeing what Chu Mingcheng said, Noah also stopped talking about this topic, and continued to drive to Laishia's house.

Walking into the room, she saw that she was suffering from a headache and was out of spirits. It was obvious that she was really drunk last night.

Lai Xiya was not angry after seeing Chu Mingcheng, some things can be understood after a drink, and there is no need to embarrass everyone.

But her attitude inevitably became colder, without the enthusiasm of last night.

Chu Mingcheng didn't care about it, he just wanted to learn some hunting skills and experience.

And without giving a penny, who the **** wants to follow all the time.

After a while, a young man came to Laishia's house.

Through the introduction, this man is her younger brother, named Victor, who has just graduated from university.

But he has been hunting crocodiles with Laishia for three years.

A hunter team needs at least two people, usually around three.

After all, the crocodile over four meters in length, in some places where cars cannot drive in, people need to lift the crocodile out first. If there are fewer people, there is no way to lift it.

After getting to know each other, Victor took out his laptop and said to Laishia: "The target has passed the application and can be hunted."

Then he told Noah and Chu Mingcheng the details of the mission target, and the computer he took out contained pictures of the alligators and their living places.

The target is an adult male crocodile about three meters long, living in a bay, so far no second crocodile has been found around it, which is a relatively easy task.

Then the group was ready to go, and Laishia even took out a semi-automatic shotgun.

According to Victor Gu, this shotgun has killed more than a thousand adult alligators.

Secondly, there are iron-clad sticks, long-handled lassoes, etc. to deal with crocodiles.

Some bounty tasks are issued by zoos, and they need some live crocodiles, so crocodile hunters will try to catch crocodiles alive.

These sticks, lasso ropes, fishing nets, etc. are tools for catching crocodiles alive.

The crocodile is in the water most of the time, you need to catch it with a trap first, and then kill it with one blow.

When the shotgun can be used directly, it is when the crocodile is basking on the shore.

All the tools were moved to a large pickup truck, and there was a crane behind the pickup truck, obviously for the convenience of moving the prey into the trunk.

Victor drove the pickup truck one step ahead, Chu Mingcheng and Noah followed behind.

The car he was driving was a rented off-road vehicle, driving all the way to the direction of the suburbs.

There is a lot of food in the car, obviously it takes a lot of time to hunt a crocodile.

"Noah, do you know where to buy a shotgun? What kind of shotgun does Laishia have, and what is the approximate price?"

Laixia's shotgun aroused Chu Mingcheng's great interest, and there is no man who doesn't love this.

It's just banned in China, and he didn't go to those clubs to play shooting, so he never touched it.

"Lehia's LadyTimber is suitable for women, and the price is about 2,000 Australian dollars."

"Cheng, don't even think about shotguns. Australia prohibits people from other countries from owning these weapons. You can't buy them through regular channels."

Chu Mingcheng was stunned: "Isn't this hunting license saying that you can hold a shotgun?"

Noah smiled and took out his hunting license, turned it over and pointed to the small print on it, and said, "Look at this again."

Chu Mingcheng took it to take a look, but was speechless and found that it said that only local Australians were eligible to buy shotguns.

Even if foreigners get a hunting license, they can only hunt alligators in other ways.

In general, 1,200 crocodiles are only prepared for local hunters.

And there is a disclaimer on the hunting license. If you go to the wild with this license and get killed by wild animals, the Australian city government does not need to compensate at all.

Chu Mingcheng sighed softly when he heard that he could not buy a shotgun.

The older generation of people in the country are too strong, making most of the animals extremely rare, so that young people like them have nothing to hunt.

However, the rapid development of China is also inseparable from the demographic dividend. It is understandable that the number of people is stuttering, which leads to the reduction of wild animals.

Chu Mingcheng doesn’t count on shotguns anymore. There are many ways to kill crocodiles, and shotguns are just the easiest one.

The journey was a bit long this time, and we came directly to the wilderness.

After more than six hours, Chu Mingcheng saw a small wooden house.

Noah pointed to the cabin and introduced: "In order to facilitate hunting of crocodiles, crocodile hunters have built many such cabins in the wild, so that everyone can rest in the wild."

“After all, sometimes hunting a ferocious adult alligator requires a lot of preparation.”

"If it's late to hunt the crocodile today, we will probably rest in this log cabin for one night."

Chu Mingcheng nodded knowingly. This is similar to hunting in the Far East of the fighting peoples. They will prepare cabins in the wild.

The only difference is that the cabins in the Far East are all built by individuals and belong to personal property, and there is a cellar for storing prey.

But here is the public version, just a temporary resting place.

From this point, it can be seen that compared to Australia, the fighting nation is the real hunting paradise.

The car didn't stop, and drove all the way to the bay. After another hour passed, Chu Mingcheng heard the sound of waves, obviously they were about to reach their destination.

Departure at about nine o'clock in the morning, after more than seven hours of travel, it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon after arriving at the destination.

The bay is very empty and overgrown with weeds, but it is not high and can be seen at a glance.

Everyone looked around in the car first, and got out of the car after making sure that there was no danger around them.

With a shotgun in his hand, Laishia took the lead to walk to the beach.

Victor followed behind, with the camera in his hand and started shooting. If a crocodile appears on land, it may be solved with one shot at any time, so it needs to be prepared in advance.

But unfortunately, a few people came to the beach and found nothing. It seems that the crocodile is not nearby.

Laixia frowned upon seeing this, and said to Noah: "Maybe we need to catch the alligator, so let's get ready first!"

"OK!" Noah nodded, came to the pickup truck and reversed the car.

Then he took out a quick-frozen boiled chicken, a white rope, and a sharp hook.

The white rope has a large roll and is flat. Chu Mingcheng pulled it forward and found that it was still a little elastic.

Seeing his curiosity, Noah introduced: "The crocodile likes to roll over to death. If it is a round thick rope, it will carry the rope with it when it rolls."

"If we pull it, it is easy to hurt our hands, and it is not easy to keep holding on to the rope to consume the energy of the crocodile."

"But this kind of rope will not, it will roll along, but only the position between the crocodile and us will be rolled, and it will not affect us."

Chu Mingcheng understood after thinking about it, knowing that this kind of rope is indeed more useful.

And he is also very interested in crocodile fishing, which is his old profession!

At present, it seems that Noah has a lot of auxiliary experience in hunting crocodiles in the wild.

Chu Mingcheng felt that if he could hunt crocodiles alone, then he didn’t need to work for free, and he could take Noah to take on the task alone tomorrow.

But now that it’s here, you can try to capture it alive later.

There is a spear on the car, which can kill the crocodile directly.

The premise is to tie the mouth of the crocodile first, but there is still a noose on the car, maybe he can handle the three-meter crocodile.

Noah moved very quickly, and after only a short while, he tied the thick hook and rope for catching crocodiles together, and hung up the white chicken. He came to the seaside carefully and threw the white chicken here.

Then he hurried back, took out another bag of chopped chicken nuggets, went to the beach and threw them into the water.

Chu Mingcheng followed him to help, this bag of chicken nuggets seemed to be a nest, attracting the alligator back.

In this situation, in his opinion, fishing for alligators seems to be the same as fishing, except for the tools.
