Chapter 431: Remembered You
Perhaps, Martial Artists like Han Bing and Qin Yu, with their level of cultivation, are already among the best of humankind.
If they were to encounter ordinary people with bare hands, taking on a hundred of them wouldn't be a problem.
But what they faced now were not humans, but true beasts.
With a body length of seven to eight meters, a weight of two thousand kilograms, and sharp teeth, each as long as a dagger.
Let alone Han Bing and Qin Yu being flesh and blood, even robots would snap into two pieces if bitten by the crocodile.
Of course, if they had a knife or a sword capable of cutting through iron as if it were mud, it would be a different story.
Anyway, under the current circumstances, Han Bing and Qin Yu could barely manage one crocodile with bare hands, but when ten or so appeared at once, they had no choice but to run.
Swoosh swoosh...
Crack...
There were quite a few bushes by the beach, and the crocodiles, with their thick skin and flesh, crawled over them as if on flat ground.
The bushes, as thick as a fist, were almost instantly crushed.
A trench half a meter wide was exposed, as if excavated by a digger, showing how terrifying the strength of the crocodile was.
"Qin Yu, quick, give me a steel bar!"
Han Bing's face was somewhat pale.
Her pride in her identity and strength was utterly useless in front of these crocodiles.
Seeing Qin Yu had already untied a bundle of steel bars, she hurriedly called out loudly.
"Didn't you hope that I would get soaked in the sea overnight? Why should I help you? Besides, how have you treated me since we first met? Punching and kicking, you've always treated me as if I were a stray dog without any background or ability, haven't you?"
Qin Yu said calmly while choosing a suitable steel bar for a weapon.
"You...."
"Ouch...."
Han Bing ran too fast and kicked a rock, causing her to stumble and fall.
Crack...
One particularly fast crocodile had already opened its vast jaws and launched an attack.
But Han Bing, after all, was a Half-Step Pill Holding expert. She propped herself up off the ground with her hands and rolled forward to dodge the gaping jaws of the crocodile.
Boom...
The hard rock was actually bitten off by the crocodile.
If that bite had landed on a person, even a thigh would have been torn off instantly.
Let's put it this way, the lions, elephants, and rhinos on the African savanna are all impressive, right? But once in the swamp, in the crocodile's territory, they need to keep a low profile.
There is no animal that dares to provoke crocodiles.
Their skin is like armor, and ordinary bullets simply cannot penetrate it. Add to that their signature move, the death roll, even an elephant would be brought to its knees if caught.
"Qin Yu... are you even a man!"
Han Bing, seeing that Qin Yu had no intention of lending a hand, couldn't help but start cursing.
The recent attack from the crocodile had truly terrified her, and even though she had escaped, her legs were still shaking.
Her smooth forehead was covered with cold sweat, and her towering chest was heaving.
Human strength is so trivial in front of wild beasts.
If you don't believe it, let the experts in Sanda, boxing, Muay Thai, and the like fight a real wild tiger and see?
They'd be torn to shreds in a minute.
"I'm not a man, and you're not a woman, you're a venomous snake. You locked me up for a whole five days, nearly tortured me to death!" Explore more at My Virtual Library Empire
Qin Yu glared at Han Bing and said.
"You...."
Han Bing was shaking with rage.
"The steel bars are here, pick one yourself!"
Qin Yu had already found a suitable steel bar, two meters long, with a relatively sharp end, like a spear.
I wouldn't say it could kill a crocodile, but self-defense should be no problem.
Swish swish...
The number of crocodiles catching up was increasing, and as the sky darkened, their eyes emitted a brown, cold gleam. An ordinary person would have been frightened into immobility by now.
"Qin Yu, I'll remember you!"
Han Bing gritted her teeth and quickly selected a handy steel rebar. Her eyes were cold as ice, sharp like knives.
"Glad you're happy!"
Qin Yu shrugged his shoulders.
"Bastard, coward, I've never seen a man as petty as you!"
While vigilantly keeping an eye on the crocodiles, Han Bing lashed out in crude, image-shattering insults.
Whether there were other people on this desolate island and whether they could survive was one thing, but at the moment she just wanted to vent the anger in her heart.
"Say whatever you want, you conceited, stubborn person. If you didn't have a good background and were just a simple ordinary person, no factory would want to hire you even to screw bolts!"
Qin Yu retorted without holding back.
Even at this time, she still put on airs in front of him, really thinking she's some goddess who doesn't need to eat the food of mere mortals!
"You... you...."
Han Bing felt like she was about to explode with anger.
If it weren't for the group of crocodiles eyeing them hungrily, she really wanted to fight Qin Yu first.
"Roar...."
A massive crocodile roared, unable to restrain itself as it launched the first attack.
Its four limbs moved quickly. Despite its six-to-seven-meter size, it was not clumsy at all—the speed of its movement was almost as fast as a snake's.
With its maw wide open, it lunged for Han Bing's lower leg.
"Die!"
Now armed, Han Bing gained some confidence.
With both hands on the rebar and gathering all her strength, she swung it down hard at the crocodile's head.
Whoosh...
But she underestimated the reaction speed of the wild animal. Seeing Han Bing wielding a weapon, the crocodile swiftly turned, whipping its long tail at Han Bing.
Bang...
Han Bing was struck and sent flying backwards.
However, this also gave Qin Yu a chance. He quickly jumped onto the back of the crocodile, plunging his steel rebar with all his might into its skull.
Spurt...
The rebar, dripping with blood, pierced through the crocodile's lower jaw. But the two-thousand-pound creature wouldn't die easily, even with its head impaled.
It writhed in insane agony, flinging Qin Yu off as well.
Staggering...
Qin Yu backpedaled a few steps on the ground before steadying himself, then quickly grabbed another steel rebar as he cast a glance at the frenzied, nearly mad crocodile.
"Don't think about fighting them to the death. Aren't you friends with a Miss Lu? Hurry up and call her, have her bring people and heavy weapons to rescue us!"
Han Bing, clutching her waist, deeply eyed the remaining crocodiles and said.
She had been wearing a leather jacket, which ripped from the crocodile's tail swipe, revealing a white undershirt beneath.
The contrast between her ample bosom and flat abdomen formed a stunning disparity that was quite tempting to the eye.
"No, I can't endanger them!"
Qin Yu shook his head in refusal.
"What do you mean?"
Han Bing was momentarily startled.
"You've never been a soldier, have you? You don't even understand such a classic move as encirclement and relief. Their goal is to trap us on this isolated island. The moment we call for backup, they'll take out each one that comes. I suspect, apart from crocodiles, there must be other traps on this island!"
Qin Yu looked at Han Bing with an expressionless face and said.
"Then... what should we do?"
Han Bing was out of ideas too.
"A fight to the death. We're humans, they're animals—I refuse to believe we can't beat them!"
Qin Yu, gripping the rebar tightly, said with a resolute look.
"Alright, from now on, let's put aside our prejudices and cooperate with each other!"
Han Bing nodded, took a few steps forward, and stood shoulder to shoulder with Qin Yu.
