Chapter 205 A staged fight, five breakthroughs, the sense of smell can actually be used (Bonus chapter for 2K players)

"Hey, fish on the plate!"

In front of the camera, Xia Ming smiled and waved his fishing rod, his face full of joy.

Netizens outside the camera's view have long since become numb.

Xia Ming's previous performance in hunting black goats was clean and efficient, and netizens at this moment really couldn't think of anything he couldn't do.

But the staff in the control room began to realize that something was wrong.

Using their detection tools, they discovered a dark figure rapidly advancing towards Xia Ming.

Judging from its size, it should be a juvenile saltwater crocodile, about 2 meters long.

Upon realizing the situation was not right, the staff immediately sent a message to the rescue team.

But just as the message was being delivered, Xia Ming had already raised the sea catfish he had caught.

"Wow, this is huge! You've made a big feast today!"

Although Xia Ming sighed, his whole body was actually tense.

Unlike wild boars, saltwater crocodiles have extremely strong attack power. Once bitten, even if Xia Ming uses Blood Soul, it is difficult for him to escape.

Moreover, they have thick skin and tough flesh, making ordinary back strikes ineffective.

Only striking the eyes, pressing down on the throat and nostrils, or attacking the abdomen will be effective.

Therefore, the best way to deal with saltwater crocodiles is to lure them onto the beach.

Just as he was staring intently at the water, the saltwater crocodile below finally couldn't resist the temptation of the sheep's offal and the fish. With a splash, it stretched its head out of the water and bit the fish that Xia Ming had caught.

On camera, Xia Ming seemed startled when he saw the crocodile emerge, falling backward and pulling his fishing rod back.

The crocodile sensed the pulling force and seemed somewhat dissatisfied. It twisted its body quickly, pulling Xia Ming forward in an instant.

Seeing this, Xia Ming immediately let go, but by then he had been dragged to the area around the sheep's internal organs, and his body was covered in a lot of mucus from the internal organs.

In addition, he had just finished processing the black goat, and the smell of blood on his body was extremely strong.

After swallowing the fish that had been twisted in half, the saltwater crocodile ignored the other half in the water and charged straight at Xia Ming.

This scene left the rescue workers rushing around in utter bewilderment.

Theoretically, the crocodile should eat the fish first and then decide whether to pursue Xia Ming after he escapes. But now, it suddenly charged at Xia Ming.

But at this moment, whether it makes sense or not is no longer important; saving people is the top priority.

But the crocodile was very fast along the coastline. It rushed to Xia Ming's side with almost no effort along the shallow water.

Upon seeing this astonishing scene, netizens all closed their eyes!

In their view, Xia Ming, being so close to the crocodile, was bound to be torn apart.

Qiao Ruoning, who was in the hotel room, was so startled that she jumped out of bed.
At this critical moment, Xia Ming's eyes were filled with no more doubt. He instantly spun around and stood up, then dodged the saltwater crocodile's attack.

The saltwater crocodile, having failed in its first attack, instantly twisted its body and swept its tail at Xia Ming once more.

Xia Ming instantly stepped back, barely dodging the attack, and then kicked the sheep entrails at his feet.

All that could be seen was a bloody mess of water flying rapidly through the air toward the crocodile's eyes. In the instant the crocodile's vision was blocked, Xia Ming drew his sword and slashed at its tail.

The crocodile seemed to sense Xia Ming's approaching aura, but its tail could not quickly change position due to inertia.

Just as Xia Ming was about to injure the crocodile, his strike went astray and grazed the crocodile's tail.

Because the sand was too soft, the tip of the knife got stuck on some kind of shellfish underneath and couldn't be pulled out for a while.

After realizing what was happening, the crocodile immediately launched a second bite at Xia Ming.

Xia Ming's face showed a look of "despair", then he made up his mind, abandoned his knife and dodged, then jumped onto the crocodile's back from the side.

In front of the camera, Xia Ming held the crocodile down tightly, and then began to smear sheep's internal organs into the crocodile's eyes.

Sensing danger, the crocodile tried to turn its head to attack Xia Ming's right leg, but Xia Ming suddenly flipped over, dodging the attack and flipping himself and the crocodile to the side. Just as the crocodile's belly was flipped up, Xia Ming's hand formed a claw and quickly attacked the crocodile's abdomen.

The crocodile was originally preparing to counterattack, but unexpectedly, Xia Ming's attack made it feel as if something was being pulled out of its body, and it felt a huge emptiness.

Just as it was momentarily distracted, Xia Ming's second attack arrived.

The crocodile felt dizzy and extremely weak, and even its next counterattack became limp.

It sensed something was wrong; the human in front of it seemed to be drawing its strength away from it in some direction.

Just as it was filled with fear, Xia Ming heard the voices of the rescue team around him. Despite his disheveled appearance, a smile appeared on his lips.

"Alright, you've worked hard filming with me for so long, thank you~ Goodbye~"

After laughing, Xia Ming suddenly started rolling around on the beach, which also flipped the crocodile in his arms.

With two splashes, Xia Ming reached the shoreline and, just as the water rose, launched a third attack on the crocodile's abdomen.

The crocodile felt its mind go sluggish, and just as it was in a panic, it suddenly felt the water flowing beneath it.

It's unclear where the extra strength came from, but after Xia Ming released his body, the crocodile suddenly plunged into the seawater and disappeared at the edge of the coastline in just two breaths.

Seeing this, the rescuers rushed over. The sniper had actually been in position, but Xia Ming and the crocodile were locked in a fierce battle, and they couldn't find an angle to shoot.

Seeing Xia Ming covered in blood, the surrounding medical staff quickly followed.

But after a thorough examination, it was found that Xia Ming had nothing to do except for a few scratches and some exhaustion.

This left even the local doctors in charge of the management completely baffled.
This was the first time in all these years that he had ever seen someone fight a saltwater crocodile and emerge almost unharmed.

I remember the last time I saw something like this was on TV, where an Australian man known as the "crocodile hunter" fought a crocodile the same length as him for 5 minutes.

The rescuers were stunned when they saw the doctor's conclusion.

Last time this kid only got a scratch from a wild boar, and this time he got a scratch from a crocodile. What, did he activate invincibility and lock his health?

Of course, this thought only flashed through their minds. For the rescue team, the most fortunate thing was that Xia Ming was alright.

The viewers in the live stream were also deeply shocked by this scene. They never expected that a wilderness-themed cooking competition would actually feature a scene of humans fighting against crocodiles.

[IP Hua: Holy crap, are you serious? This goes beyond just being "bold"!]

[IP Hua: Invincible, truly invincible, a born hunter, a god-like man. From now on, if anyone says Sichuan and Chongqing men are weak, I'll pull out this recording!]

["IP Kangaroo": This is terrifying and unbelievable! He's even more amazing than Robert Irving, the "Crocodile Hunter"!]

[IP Bear: Holy crap, China has men like this too!!! This is amazing!]

Just as netizens were shocked, Xia Ming had already declined the program team's offer to take him to the hospital for a comprehensive medical check-up.

"I'm still recording a variety show. Since I'm lucky enough not to have suffered any serious injury, I don't need to take a separate break."

"Don't worry, I know my body!"

After seeing that repeated attempts to dissuade him were unsuccessful, the production team very humanely gave Xia Ming a brand new set of clothes and then, according to his wishes, continued filming.

Xia Ming returned to the cave looking exhausted. After processing the goat meat, he set it aside and then closed his eyes to rest.

Just when the entire internet was acknowledging Xia Ming as a true man, he took advantage of a moment to close his eyes and rest to quickly sense the new blood soul within his body.

Compared to wild boars, saltwater crocodiles have much purer blood souls. Xia Ming had just absorbed the blood soul of a goat and hadn't had time to refine it yet. After weighing the options, he chose to break through on the spot.

As the blood spirit within him surged throughout his body, the blood gate in his nasal cavity was sensed.

So he used all the excess blood souls to break through his nasal cavity. With a flash of blood light, the fifth blood gate in Xia Ming's body was pushed open in the wilderness.

Sensing the changes occurring inside his nasal cavity, Xia Ming instantly opened his eyes.

"I've acquired another magical skill? Wait, can the sense of smell really connect to the sense of taste like this?"
