Chapter 280.1: Failed Contractors
Su Xiao gripped the hilt of the sword tightly and began to move the blade, trying to hit as many of the crocodile's organs as possible.
The giant crocodile, on the other hand, managed to make a sharp turn due to the pain, and its tail hit Su Xiao like a whip.
*Pum!*
The tail struck Su Xiao's waist, and he immediately flew to the side.
Falling to the ground with a crash, the taste of iron appeared in his mouth, and almost everything in his eyes turned black.
— After clearing his throat and spitting out some blood, Su Xiao ignored the pain and looked at the crocodile. With his sword in hand, he rushed forward and plunged the blade into the giant crocodile's mouth.
Holding the man's upper jaw with one hand, he tried to push the blade a little further with the other.
The fight gradually began to fade, and eventually the giant crocodile's body went limp.
[You have killed a giant mutant crocodile.]
Seeing this notification, Su Xiao let go of the giant crocodile's jaw, and it fell to the ground.
If Bubtney hadn't used his ability earlier, Su Xiao would have died.
After sitting on the ground for a while, Su Xiao looked at the giant crocodile's body. No treasure chest fell from it, but the giant crocodile's back glowed with a purple light.
[This is a leader-level creature, and the Hunter must collect his own loot..]
This was the first time Su Xiao had encountered such a situation. Placing the blade against the giant crocodile's back, Su Xiao's eyes glittered.
— This... this is a very good thing.
Despite the pain and fatigue Su Xiao started to dismember the crocodile's huge body with his sword.
Two minutes later, Su Xiao, covered in crocodile blood, was holding a large piece of crocodile meat in his hand. This piece of meat weighed at least 12 kilograms.
The crocodile's meat had clear stripes and a pale pink hue.
A moment later, Su Xiao checked the characteristics of this piece of meat.
[Best piece of meat from the body of a giant mutant crocodile.
Quality: Purple.
Type: Consumable.
Effect: After eating this piece of fine meat, stamina will permanently increase by 6 points, and health will forever receive an increase to the maximum value in the form of 100 units.

Note: This meat is packed with all the essential vitamins and won't cause any side effects when consumed..
Description: For eaters with a perfectly functioning gastrointestinal tract.]
Looking at the large piece of crocodile meat in his hand, Su Xiao was a little stunned. Such a treasure had fallen into his hands too suddenly. This piece of meat was more valuable than any purple equipment with a 150-unit rating.
Just a 6-point increase in stamina was enough, but apart from that improvement, his health would be permanently increased by 100 points, which was a very nice bonus.
At the moment, Su Xiao had all the necessary skills for killing and surprise attacks, but he only had 12 points of stamina, which meant that his resistance and stamina were very low.
After studying the characteristics of this meat in detail and seeing nothing wrong, Su Xiao smiled.
At this point, Bubtny ran over to Su Xiao and squatted on the ground, then waved his paw as if to indicate that Su Xiao should sit on him.
Bubtney could clearly see that Su Xiao wasn't at his best.
Bubtney had a small saddle on his back. It was bought in Paradise for a mere penny. After all, it was a bit tiring to ride on Bubtney's back without a proper saddle.
After putting a huge piece of meat into the inventory, Su Xiao sat down on his loyal pet. He needed to get out of here quickly, as the smell of blood was too strong and other beasts would sooner or later start flocking to this smell.
Bubtney immediately ran to the crocodile cave. This was the safest place at the moment and there was no way other beasts would come to this place as it was still considered crocodile territory.
Su Xiao's condition was very poor. Although his health had recovered by 50% at the critical moment, his injuries were very serious, and this fight with the giant crocodile had forced him to expend a huge amount of strength.
After walking to the half-open cave, Su Xiao took off his bloodstained clothes and put them in his inventory, then started to take out bottles of clean water and began to wash the blood off his body.
While Su Xiao cleaned up the blood on his body, Bubtny stood by his side and occasionally exposed his muzzle to the torrents of water.
After treating the wounds and applying a few stitches, Su Xiao put on a new set of clothes.
The wounds were still making themselves felt, but with Bubtney's aura, they would quickly disappear.
Taking out a piece of meat from his inventory, Su Xiao thought about how this huge piece of meat was supposed to be eaten.
«Raw or cooked?»
After asking Paradise about it, Su Xiao pushed the barbaric thought away, as he was literally told in plain text that it was a bad idea.
He could eat this piece of meat by dividing it into smaller pieces, but they would still need to be cooked first, but adding some seasoning wasn't the best idea when cooking.
After starting a fire, Su Xiao started cooking crocodile meat near the cave entrance.
A beautiful fragrance began to spread around the area, but Su Xiao carefully observed the surroundings.
After preparing the giant crocodile meat, Su Xiao covered his tracks and entered the crocodile nest.
