Entertainment World: The Wild God of Gourmet

Because of this sudden raid, the team was forced to stay here for a while longer.

Chen Ergou was also terrified. Although it was not his fault, what he was doing now was teaching others to survive in the wilderness. If someone was killed by the rock python under his leadership, his reputation would definitely be seriously damaged.

Of course, he is not such a selfish guy who only cares about himself. Saving people is only done instinctively, not for the sake of his own fertility. After realizing the danger, he immediately picked up his weapon and rushed forward.

Fortunately, there was no danger in the end.

Chen Ergou cut off a piece of the boa constrictor corpse and handed it to Rengar to grind his teeth, and threw the rest in the dense forest. He couldn't leave it here to attract ants.

In fact, he wanted to eat the meat of the python, but he was embarrassed to eat it in front of so many people in the live broadcast room.

No matter how vicious this guy is, he is also protecting animals. If you kill it, you will kill it. It is understandable, but you will not eat it in front of so many people.

Let's save a piece of meat first, and don't touch it for the time being unless we are in desperate situation.

The viewers on the opposite side of the live broadcast room were also quite frightened. Anyone who just clicked in and saw such a disgusting big lump of "snake ball" eating people would not be in a good mood.

Chen Ergou asked Jenny to give the old Baker a massage to relieve himself, and ran to the stream to see if there was anything to eat.

At the same time, he did not forget to face the camera and said: "My friends, did you scare everyone just now?"

"Everyone has also seen that the incident was too sudden and the situation is very dangerous. If I wake up later, the consequences will be disastrous."

The barrage is full of stories——

"I was terribly scared.", "I was scared to pee.", "I saw this scene just after entering the live broadcast room, and I almost scared out of lunch.", "Master Dog, you have to pay compensation.", "Dance a striptease, Sing a song, and we will forgive you."...

Chen Ergou touched his nose, very speechless, thought for a while and changed the subject and said: "According to the statistics of the World Health Organization, the number of people killed by snake bites is 100,000 every year, and the number of people killed by zoo attack is 20 people every year, and the number of people who are eaten by sharks is 100,000." The number of people lost is 8 per year, and the number of people eaten by other large carnivores is actually about 10 per year."

"Rock pythons are large carnivores."

"There's no doubt that being eaten by a reptile, especially a reptile without feet, is horrific. So when you actually encounter a reptile,

How to avoid it? "

After a pause, thinking of the situation just now, he could only smile wryly: "Actually, I don't have any good suggestions, it depends on the situation. Someone once found a 21-meter-long anaconda moulting in the Amazon. That kind of big guy, I can't think of any good way except to run."

"This rock python is about 6 meters long, and it is not the most dangerous. The most dangerous of the pythons is the anaconda. They will observe the target for at least 5 minutes, then dive into the water, quietly drag people down from the bottom of the water, and immediately Wrapped tightly around a person's torso."

"If unfortunately a big snake drags someone into the water, it will not drown the person. Because the snake also breathes, but will float on the water like a wheel, roll and wrap around the person tightly, just like any other method of preying on the python. Touch it, wrap it around a person's torso, and when the person exhales, it will tighten until the person can't breathe at all and suffocate to death, and it will monitor the person's heartbeat, and will not release the person's body until the heartbeat stops."

"Then drag it to the shore and enjoy it slowly. At this time, the boa constrictor will open its mouth wide and swallow it slowly from the head. No matter how fat you are, the snake's mouth will break away from the joints of the head and jaw to prop up the throat to eat. Their bodies are elastic and can stretch very large. After eating, this snake may sleep well for half a year..."

"If you encounter a large python attack without helpers, the rate of people being eaten is more than 9o%... As for why it is not 100%, it is because a Malaysian shrew was attacked by a hungry and dizzy anaconda while doing laundry by the water In the end, the woman knocked the big snake out with a wooden stick in her hand, and it had to give up. The woman had to be thankful that the snake wasn't big enough, and it hadn't eaten for three months."

"Otherwise, the best way to avoid being eaten by pythons is to stay away from their habitat."

The audience got goosebumps from what he said. The experience just now was too terrifying, and he did not stop there.

After working in the river for a long time, he didn't find the lobster, but a leech the size of a thumb stuck to his foot and sucked blood.

Pulling off the trouser legs, the red and black blood-sucking leech wriggling under the camera is clearly visible, which makes people feel nauseous.

Chen Ergou said: "It is very common to find leeches in the jungle. If you go into the water, you must always check your whole body. There are two suction cups on each end of the leech's head. When it sucks your skin, it sticks like glue. live."

He flicked it a few times with his fingers, but it didn't come off. He grabbed the guy with two fingers and felt sick. Throw it hard on the dirt and crush it, "leech can spread infection, but it can be said to be small compared to other diseases that may be infected. The forest is full of terrible diseases, such as river blindness, sleeping sickness, elephantiasis, And the horrible Ebola virus, so better not let yourself bleed."

Standing on the shore, he took a closer look at his trouser legs, and sure enough, he found that there were bloodstains in the other two places. There were already large bloodstains through the wet pants.

He simply took off his trousers and checked. Two fat leeches were really clinging to it and sucking blood wildly.

The audience watched in shock, but ignored the fact that Chen Ergou took off his pants when he disagreed.

"Ah, Chen, it's a leech. I'll go get the tweezers." Jenny was curious that Chen Ergou took off his pants, but when he peeked at them, he saw these two disgusting things and exclaimed.

"No need." Chen Ergou crushed the two guys to death, put on his pants again, and continued to catch fish in the water.

"Chen, let me catch the fish for you."

Anthony was also frightened by the leech, he hesitated, but finally came over.

"Is Professor Baker feeling better?"

"It's much better."

This brook is not rich in fish resources. He worked hard for a long time and caught five lobsters and two palm-sized small fish. Anthony Mao didn't catch a single one, which was very embarrassing.

But only these, together with some green plants from yesterday, were barely enough for him to make a meal of fish soup.

A quarter of an hour later, the sun rose into the sky, and its rays shot straight from the horizon into the woodland on the hillside, dispelling the misty mist.

Chen Ergou also finished a pot of steaming fish soup.

The four of them drank soup and ate some fruits, and it was today's breakfast. Although simple, it is also delicious. Compared with their previous life, it was not at the same level at all.

After drinking the hot fish soup, the stomach and intestines instantly warmed up, and people's mood improved a lot.

It's just that I still wanted to explore this volcanic forest, but now I don't have the mood to explore, I just want to go home quickly.

Chen Ergou was going to find a way to jump over to the Ganguo River on the opposite side, and then drift down to find a way out.

"Professor, can you still go?"

The old Baker was a little weak, and it seemed that the incident still had a great impact on him, so he insisted, "I'm fine, I can still go."

Chen Ergou raised his eyebrows and ordered, "Jenny, help the professor share the contents of the backpack."

"OK."

The team's next day's survival journey began.

The jungle environment familiar to the audience has also returned to the camera.

Forty meters above the head is the sunny canopy, but it is an unreachable world. The owner of the forest thrusts his head into the sky, and below him lies a bewildering and unchanging labyrinth. Even for an experienced wilderness explorer like Chen Ergou, entering here is no different from Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. As long as you wander around curiously, you will immediately find yourself lost.

This is the best portrayal of seeing the trees but not the forest. No matter which direction you go, you can only see dense vegetation blocking the way.

Chen Ergou said: "I still find it unbelievable that early explorers such as Livingston and Stanley can walk a thousand kilometers in this jungle. In it, they can't even identify the position of the sun. You can’t use the horizon to find your way.”

"If you don't have some special means, it's not easy to move freely here. Not only are you exhausted, but you also have to be careful not to put your hands and feet in the wrong place."

He was speaking for the audience in the live broadcast room, and also for the three people behind him.

The old Baker recovered well, and said with emotion: "This is the Congo jungle, why should it be as comfortable as in the park? The appearance here is not for humans or animals. This is the world that trees build for themselves. Trees dominate It covers all life in the surface world. Its canopy blocks the sunlight, and the fallen leaves and dead branches cover the ground, overlooking all the creatures on the ground."

"you're right."

"Chen, are we playing around?" Anthony discovered something.

Chen Ergou said: "No, I'm looking for a road that allows people to pass safely. When I passed by just now, I saw traces of some kind of large animal gnawing on a banana tree, and there should be something nearby."

Everyone was puzzled.

Even if they concentrate here, they can only seek self-protection, so they don't have time to observe the surrounding environment. But they can only listen to Chen Ergou.

It didn't take long before Chen Ergou found out, and hurried over quickly.

The vines, rotten leaves and shrubs suddenly disappeared under the feet, and there appeared a jungle path where the yellow land could be seen.

"There is a way!" Jenny said in surprise.

Chen Ergou said: "Yes, fortunately, there are indeed intersecting trails in this jungle, but these are not made by people, but elephants who open the way in the jungle." The chain of footprints stretches all the way into the jungle, which is called "Elephant Road".

"Whatever the elephant is, it will never be scarier than the boa constrictor." In Jenny's mind, the boa constrictor has surpassed the elephant and has risen to the first place on the list of the most terrifying animals.

After all, I have been stepping on the soft rotten leaves, which feels like stepping on cotton. It is uneasy to not connect to the world and not to the ground. Now that they can finally keep their feet on the ground, everyone's expressions are much more relaxed.

Old Baker said: "Actually, there are many elephants here. According to incomplete statistics, there are about 200,000 elephants in the Congo Basin. Much more than the humans living here."

"Are there so many of them, but they are very quiet. I have walked many elephant roads before, and only encountered them once?" Chen Ergou asked a question of his own.

As soon as the animal issue was mentioned, the old Baker instantly forgot the nightmare of escaping from the python's mouth, and said with a little enthusiasm: "That's the elephant avoiding you on purpose. Round-eared elephants can communicate with each other, but humans may not always hear the elephant's voice." The voice of communication."

"Using professional sound reinforcement equipment, it is possible to distinguish the sound waves of elephant communication in a certain frequency. It is a pity that we did not bring equipment. It sounds like a rumbling sound, which is completely different from the trumpet sound that people usually hear. Most of the sound is too low, like some kind of infrasound, for the human ear to pick up."

Jenny asked: "Professor, why do elephants emit such infrasound waves?"

"In a place like this, the sound will be suppressed by the vegetation, and only the low-frequency sound can be unimpeded. The rumbling sound of an elephant is like a hot butter knife, cutting through the forest like butter. The trunk makes a long-distance call, Carrying the message, passing through the dense rainforest, it can even be transmitted several kilometers away, and be received by others of the same kind. If the jungle round ear elephant does not have these voices, it will not be able to live in the jungle.”

"why is that?"

"In order to survive." Old Baker said: "In order to find enough food, they are forced to disperse to various places in the jungle. The rumble in the jungle is the main way for them to socialize and communicate."

Chen Ergou has been educated, and his focus is different. He is indeed hearing some knowledge for the first time. He asked, "Then what messages do they usually convey?"

"That's a lot, maybe it's the news of a certain tree bearing fruit, maybe it's just looking for your relatives or even just a mother elephant calling for a mate." Old Baker looked energetic and said: "The low-frequency sound, the speed transmitted through the ground In fact, it is faster than in the air. Sometimes the elephant's ears may not hear the message, and the thick, pillar-like elephant legs are the first to sense the message. They may also calculate the time difference and judge the distance of the caller."

As incredible as it sounds, every animal here has its own way of life, even in such a harsh environment.

Chen Ergou quickly thought of some of the phenomena he saw, and asked: "How did other animals adapt to this dense forest, such as chimpanzees. They are close relatives of humans, but they cannot hear any low-frequency sound waves." .”

"Have you ever seen a picture of a chimpanzee banging on the root of a prop?"

Chen Ergou recalled, suddenly, "Even if the chimpanzee is walking, it will roll and knock on the root of a certain tree. It looks naughty, so it is transmitted through such a long distance?"

"Yes, they will also choose the roots of the big trees they prefer, and they will knock every time they pass by to let the nearby chimpanzees know its location. But these noisy sounds are not transmitted indiscriminately. The food of chimpanzees is fruit, Nuts and meat are scattered in a very wide area and are not easy to find. The best strategy is to disperse into small teams, and each team is responsible for a certain area. In this way, chimpanzees can search for an area of ​​1o square kilometers in a few hours. As long as there are When a team finds enough food, they will use special shouts to invite their friends to share."

Just as he was speaking, there was a familiar long shout of "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" in the forest.

Chen Ergou carefully identified it, "It's the chimpanzee barking!"

"Haha, it's the chimpanzees calling for their companions. It seems that a team has found food."

It didn't seem far away, Chen Er Goudan searched the treetops, and soon found the target.

A few chimpanzees are nimbly climbing the treetops, grabbing a bunch of heavy fruits and gnawing on them. The uneaten fruits are thrown on the ground, which is cheaper for the small animals that live on the ground.

The three zoologists really wanted to observe on the spot for a while, but unfortunately it was not the right time.

I just observed for a while and didn't bother me in the past, so I continued on my way.

On this jungle trail, there are also some dung piles here and there, with various animals, showing that this is a heavily trafficked trail. "Be careful not to kick the excrement of these animals, it will disturb the owner of the excrement." Chen Ergou reminded.

Then turned a corner, and suddenly encountered a group of quiet and huge animals.

The atmosphere froze instantly, and the three of them all looked at Chen Ergou.

"Stand by the side of the road and don't move." Chen Ergou ordered in a low voice.

Several elephants looked at them with huge ears and long trunks. Standing at each other, the elephants appear to be exchanging messages.

Except for Chen Ergou, the other three were a little nervous, but none of them dared to move a step. After a while, the elephant walked into the jungle from the other side of the trail, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Ergou said: "The skins of these elephants are all wet, which means that there is either a river in front of them, or an open water source where elephants often drink water. It is worth exploring."

"Let's go on the way they came, and follow closely."
