Live Wilderness Adventure

Chapter 897 Accidental Discovery

Bi Fang lifted the animal hide, looked at the locust swarm in the distance, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Even if you know that there is no danger in your heart, when the locusts gather densely together, it can still bring huge psychological pressure to people, especially against the backdrop of the environment, it is really dark clouds overwhelming the city.

The drone flies low and the camera focuses on the land.

The nearby grass is full of fine gaps bitten out by sharp mouthparts, and the whole is even shorter as if cut by a sickle.

It is obviously just a grassland, but it can give people a sense of "broken walls".

The land is not as flat as before, and there are some small "holes".

The potholes were rather inconspicuous, only slightly sunken, with slightly arched edges, undulating by no more than a millimeter.

If it weren't for Bi Fang's superb memory, and he was able to contrast it with the flat land he saw before, maybe he wouldn't have noticed.

He broke off a twig casually, and Bi Fang inserted it into the hole without any hindrance, and inserted it to the bottom smoothly.

Locusts lay their eggs by inserting their tails into the soft soil, so as to surround the tail and form a tunnel with a flat surface, and there will be no rough sand or hard soil, which can ensure that the larvae will not encounter any difficulties when they come out .

Use the branches to pull out the surrounding soil debris to a depth of four to five centimeters. A few yellow-gray spindle-shaped eggs were picked out and exposed to the air. The sticky foam on the surface shook slightly in the cold wind. One after another burst.

The audience was very curious. Except for a small number of people with certain professionalism and enough life experience, most of them had never seen this thing before. It was very novel.

【Is this the locust egg? 】

[Good guy, there are seven or eight pits in one pit, and there are at least a hundred pits under Lao Fang's feet, right? There are thousands of these special girls]

[It's too scary, this reproduction speed is worthy of Zerg]

[Zergs are so terrifying, no wonder they can become the overlord of the universe]

"Phew, it's really scary. I don't know when this locust plague will end."

Throwing away the branches, after all, I looked disappointed.

Now that the locust plague occurs, it may not end in the next year, and then enter the next vicious circle.

Hearing this, the audience couldn't help but feel depressed.

The wind brushed the cheetah's ear hair and flew thousands of miles away.

Always lying on the ground, Harley couldn't help moving his ears.

The animal skin on his body was gone, and Harley, who had been laying on the ground with his head buried all the time, felt a chill all over his body. At this time, he couldn't bear the wind even more. He raised his head, only to find that the terrifying locust swarm had left at some point.

Only then did the cheetah stand up cautiously, explore its surroundings, and return to its original state of freedom of movement only after confirming its safety.

The audience was in a dull mood just now, but was suddenly amused by Harley's appearance.

Bi Fang didn't think there was anything bad about it, being cowardly in nature is not a bad thing, the more cowardly you are, the longer you live.

Don't be on the verge of extinction, don't eat food that you don't know.

Don't go somewhere you've never been unless you have to.

These are all advantages.

Of course, Bi Fang had mentioned this kind of che rulu talk many times in front of the audience, so he didn’t say any more. He turned around and went to the place where the soup was cooked before, and opened the lid. state, due to the lid being on, was also not contaminated by locusts.

Bi Fang looked delighted: "Good luck."

Picking up the earthenware pot, he drank the oily, slightly salty soup in one gulp.

After replenishing the water, it was another refreshing day. Bi Fang washed the jar to make sure there was no oil stains, and then stuffed it back into the backpack.

Finally, calling out the name of the cheetah, one person and one leopard embarked on the journey again.

The arrival of the rainy season has almost changed the appearance of the entire African grassland.

With the passage of time, such changes have become more and more serious, desolate, withered and yellow completely dissipated.

The grass on the ground is very green, the trees are also very bright, and the leaves are soft green, so tender that people want to pick a few leaves and chew them in their mouths to taste their refreshing fragrance.

The plants on the grassland are very vigorous, and the herbaceous plants will completely die in the dry season, leaving only the underground part, and within a week of the rainy season, they will grow lush and broad leaves that can submerge the ankles.

The bright red erythrina trees are in full bloom.

As one of the iconic plants of the grassland, they tend to be full of red flowers in the dry season, and each flower is like a flying bird to attract birds to pollinate it.

At first glance, you may think that the whole tree is full of red flying birds.

It's just that the arrival of the rainy season caused the flowers to wither, and a light layer of red carpet was spread on the ground, and a few pieces were trampled into the soil by huge hoof prints.

Under the shadows, the originally bright red safflower was stepped out of its juice and turned brown after oxidation.

The hoof prints are very deep, and it is conceivable that the person who stepped on it was a big guy.

And it is true.

Bi Fang stood on a small high ground, gazing at the tall giraffe in the distance, tall and straight, splitting the oncoming long wind like a battle flag.

The collar at the neck was lifted by the wind, and the cuffs of the off-white shirt were rolled up to the upper arms, exposing the graceful forearm muscles.

After the trek, the cheetah lay on the ground wearily, and its tail patted on Bi Fang's shoe surface calmly, as if to vent its dissatisfaction, and also drew Bi Fang's attention back.

"The tree next to the Erythrina chinensis, that is, the tree that the giraffes are gnawing on is called Xianghua catecha. It is a kind of acacia, and its entire trunk has thorns with inverted hooks to prevent animals from eating it."

"But for a thick-skinned animal like a giraffe, these spines are completely ineffective."

"The skin on their mouths, tongues, faces and other parts is very thick, just like a camel eats a cactus, which can completely resist this kind of thorn."

"So, the giraffe eats the leaves when the fragrant flower catechu has leaves, and eats the flowers when there are flowers, and doesn't care about the thorns at all. However, for some other relatively short animals, this defense method of acacia is still very important. Effective."

"Of course, our goal is not the fragrant flower catechu, but the Ceylonberry on the far right. We just need to wait for the giraffe to leave."

The reason why Bi Fang waited here was to wait for the giraffe to leave.

Although the giraffe is tall and thin, it seems to be fragile, but it is also one of the grassland overlords.

Adults weigh more than 1 ton and are more than 5 meters tall. With this size, they don't need to be able to fight, and a bump is enough.

Especially its kick, not only has a wide range, but also has a strength of more than three tons, and it is not impossible to kick people through with one kick.

A few minutes later.

"Okay, the giraffe has left, let's go up and have a look."

Bi Fang led the cheetah forward, and they found the Ceylonberry he was talking about on a small tree a hundred meters to the right of the acacia.

It looks a bit like loquat in appearance, but it is not as dense as loquat, and the color is also green.

"There are two kinds of Ceylonberries that are commonly found on the African grasslands, one is called East African Ceylonberry and the other is called South African Ceylonberry. There is not much difference. They have thorns on their stems, and the fruits are edible. , the taste is also good, it can be eaten fresh or made into jam."

Bi Fang picked the fruit and stuffed it into his backpack.

The cheetah next to it looked very anxious, Bi Fang saw it and threw a cheetah into its mouth.

Harley hugged the fruit happily and licked it.

Although he was going to the north, Bi Fang did not walk in a straight line, but in cash, swaying east and west, without knowing it at all, and sometimes took Harley to "picking up trash" on the grassland, collecting a lot Spices, fruits.

He now also has a large handful of fresh Coleus forskohlii in his backpack.

Labiatae plants tend to have some strong fragrances, such as mint, rosemary, lavender and so on.

This is the case with Coleus forskohlii, but Bi Fang didn't pick it for eating or as a spice.

It is because its leaves are thick and large, and can be used to wipe the buttocks when there is no toilet paper. It is silky and smooth to use, and most paper towels can't match it.

Even because of the fragrance, there is still a lingering fragrance on the hands of the descendants after wiping.

Kill three birds with one stone.

It was during such a slow-paced stroll that Bi Fang, who was walking on the African savannah, made an unexpected discovery at the foot of a low mountain.
