The Komodo Dragon Who Stole Business.

Lin Qianqian blinked her eyes: "Do we have a choice here? We have to use grass!"

Tang Xiaoguo nodded: "Yeah, there's wild grass everywhere, getting sheep dung would be a bit difficult!"

Lin Qianqian said in a soft voice: "I don't think that's the point."

"Alright then, let's crush the wild grass with rocks and smear the grass juice on our bodies. We'll slowly crawl closer until we're within firing range of the slingshot, then I'll shoot it!"

"Can it be shot dead?"

"Definitely not, the pellets are too small to even kill a monkey. But I've noticed that this can restrict the mobility of prey. Let's start!"

"Is grass from the ground okay?"

"Anything we normally eat is fine, the stronger the smell the better. Lemongrass, fishy grass and ordinary wild grass, the more mixed the smells the better."

"Got it!"

The three of them gathered a large handful of wild grass. Lu Zhe took off his shirt and wrapped a pile of wild grass in it, then crushed it with rocks.

After pounding it for a while and wringing it forcefully, with just a little force, his shirt ripped a large hole.

This wasn't because Lu Zhe used too much strength, but rather because this shirt had endured far too many trials - soaked in seawater, used to squeeze fish, corroded by acid, and accompanied Lu Zhe through so much work - its material had long become fragile.

"Uh, my shirt is useless now, which one of you can take off your shirt for me to use?"

"No way..."

Although they said no way, three minutes later they had both taken off their shirts!

This was how Qianqian persuaded Xiaoguo: "Either we all take them off or none of us do. It would feel weird if only one person did something different."

After successfully covering himself in grass juice, his whole body was green and oily. Luckily the smells on his body were all masked.

This time when they circled around to the rear of the goat, it did not run away.

However, when they discovered the goat, they also discovered another creature!

The sixth top predator on this island - the Komodo dragon!

The situation was like this: the three of them were lurking in the undergrowth, 50 meters away were three grazing goats, also 50 meters away from them and the goats, were 7-8 two-meter long lizards!

With this size...

Komodo dragons?

Aren't those on Komodo Island?

Although not very far, could they really have crossed the ocean to get here?

Lin Qianqian was so frightened she nearly screamed, but Lu Zhe hurriedly covered her mouth.

"Don't scream, it'll scare the goats away!"

"Mm..." Lin Qianqian nodded in terror.

On the other hand, Tang Xiaoguo reacted quite calmly. After all, she had seen lizards before.

"They look a bit silly, they won't come bite us right?"

"Compared to our smells, the smell of the goats is stronger and more familiar to them. Clearly their target is the same as ours, they want to hunt those goats."

Tang Xiaoguo nodded: "No wonder those goats are so alert, turns out it was tempered by long days and years!"

"If you don't have certain survival skills in the natural world, you would have gone extinct long ago. By the way, what's your hundred meter dash time?"

Lin Qianqian blushed a little, somewhat embarrassed to say: "Seventeen seconds..."

Tang Xiaoguo exclaimed: "Wow, Qianqian you're so fast, you actually ran under twenty seconds!"

"Xiaoguo are you on drugs? Since when is running under twenty seconds worth such admiration?"

"The key is Qianqian looks like such a demure girl, hard to imagine she can run so quickly!"

Lu Zhe sized up Tang Xiaoguo: "You and demureness don't go together at all. What's your hundred meter time?"

"21 seconds, so what?"

Lu Zhe was speechless: "Sis, are you a snail?"

"Oh stop teasing me about my short legs! What's with asking this kind of question for no reason?"

Lu Zhe said in a deep voice: "Komodo dragons can sprint up to 20-25 kilometers per hour at their fastest, which is about 14 seconds for a hundred meters. I'm considering if they charged at us all of a sudden, what are the chances you two could escape?"

"Huh?" The two girls were dumbfounded!

"We can't even outrun reptiles!"

"What should we do Lu Zhe!"

"Actually there's no need to worry too much. Although they can run quite fast, they usually disdain such energy draining hunting methods. Their main attack is to quietly sneak close, suddenly bite, then slowly follow their target until it dies from their venom and the deadly bacteria in their saliva, then happily feast."

The two girls hurriedly looked around to see if there were any lurking Komodo dragons.

Lu Zhe's keen sense of smell determined there were no Komodo dragon activities around them.

Lu Zhe aimed the slingshot again: "Still need to get a bit closer."

The two girls followed apprehensively behind him.

Lu Zhe felt the distance was about right.

Of the three goats, there were two bucks and one nanny goat. He aimed at one of the brown and white bucks.

The attention of all three goats was on the Komodo dragons not far away, and had not noticed Lu Zhe.

Lu Zhe pinched out a steel ball, aimed at the tail of the goat. When the thin tail swayed up, the steel ball flew out.

"Pak!"

The three goats had no reaction!

Two seconds later, as the pain registered, one of the goats suddenly reared up with a "baa baa" bleat.

The other two goats didn't know what was happening, so they turned and fled. The Komodo dragons' attention was also drawn over by curiosity.

The goat that was hit bleated twice before running off too, but observing its speed and nimbleness as it fled, it was clearly far inferior compared to its two companions. Its gait as it ran was even more twisted than the nanny goat's.

"Let's go take a look!"

Lu Zhe went to where the three goats had just been.

There were sporadic blood spots on the grass. He pinched some and gave it a sniff - it had the muttony odor unique to goats, luckily it wasn't too strong.

Clearly the steel ball had hit the buck's flank.

Lu Zhe remembered this smell and smiled. "Can't escape now, let's go!"

"It clearly already ran away!"

"We can track it."

"But we can't even outrun lizards, how can we catch up to a goat?!"

"Although it runs fast, it may not necessarily know to ration its energy. As long as we follow behind, before long it will become exhausted. When it stops to rest, I'll give it another steel ball. When it gets annoyed enough, we'll make our move and we can eat plump little goat meat."

Tang Xiaoguo nodded: "If the Big Bad Wolf was as sly as you, why would he need to suffer so many frying pans."

"Ancient hunters had exceptionally strong tracking abilities..."

As Lu Zhe spoke, he sniffed with his nose to follow the scent of the goat's blood into the woods.

Yet very quickly he discovered that it wasn't only them following the scent of the goat's blood, several Komodo dragons were also crawling along the scent of the goat blood.

Although they didn't seem very threatening, having them keep following gave people an uneasy feeling.

"So annoying!"

Lu Zhe nodded: "Mm!"

Lin Qianqian pondered: "What kind of smell are lizards afraid of?"

Lu Zhe checked the survival manual: "I actually don't know this one. Their only natural enemy in nature is the Javan tiger!"

Tang Xiaoguo thought for a moment, then came up with a refreshingly unique viewpoint: "Maybe... the smell of curry would work?"
