Entertainment World: The Wild God of Gourmet

Chapter 196 [Staying into Lilliputian Country]

Genius remembers in one second, providing you with wonderful reading.

A fat African lungfish, I don't know how it tastes, at least it is a delicious food.

To be honest, if he didn't have to hurry, Chen Ergou could also sit here for a day. Just quietly watching the animals play and play, enjoying a harmonious family life. Even animals that are born to fly, run on the ground, and swim in water like to go to the park.

The team continued to move forward to cross the elephant village. Chen Ergou found rows of delicious food in the waters along the way, including wild ginger, water lily, and aquatic herbs, just like a big bowl of salad with rich dishes. ...It turns out that this is what attracts so many animals. This kind of elephant village is like opening a unique window in the forest.

"Are you a bit sad?" Jenny repeatedly looked back.

Chen Ergou didn't look back, and said, "There's nothing to be reluctant about. Even the animals know that this is just a park, not a place to live. They will return to the forest after visiting the park together. There is no such thing as a forest." Nothing exists because they know that the trees create and protect this greenhouse of life."

But a clearing like this is just a drop in the ocean in the vast forest. Elephants can knock down big trees to open the way, and use forest elephant roads extending in all directions to connect many elephant villages scattered in the forest, but there will never be any natural force that can restrain this forest...except the Atlantic Ocean!

"Chen, do we have a goal to move forward?" Old Baker asked.

Chen Ergou said: "Of course, I thought about making a huge raft to travel, but the location here is already close to the Atlantic Ocean. If we go down the current, it may directly wash us into the Atlantic Ocean. The huge waves entering the sea are very It’s dangerous, and I’m not afraid of it if I’m alone, but I can’t guarantee your safety. So I decided to continue to borrow this elephant highway, and it’s best to go straight to the Atlantic coast. Maybe it will be there in a day or two.”

"Really?"

Everyone was overjoyed, this was the first time they heard the exact time to go out.

Jenny said happily, "Then what if there is an elephant blocking the way again?"

"At most, it is to pay tolls, and usually collect more bananas, fruits, and dried fruits. Don't you have toll booths when you cross the expressway?"

"Haha, Chen, I like this metaphor."

There are no annoying vines and dead leaves blocking the way along the way, and the atmosphere of the procession is very relaxed.

Chen Ergou resumed the rhythm of the previous live broadcast,

Casually tell the audience about the miracle of this forest. But it was not always smooth sailing. Suddenly a towering mahogany tree with a diameter of nearly seven meters fell in the middle of the road ahead, blocking the elephant road ahead.

Of course, humans can climb over directly, but elephants usually choose to take a detour when faced with this big tree blocking the way. In that case, the end of the elephant road ahead may end, and they will fall into the dense forest again.

"What a big tree!"

"My God, will such a big tree fall down?"

Under the camera, everyone was amazed.

Chen Ergou said to the camera: "If there are farmers living here, they will definitely think that this is the best adobe in the world, which is rich in nutrition, thick and fertile. In fact, it is not, just a few centimeters below the ground, it is barren sandy soil .” He rubbed his feet against the soil layer under the leaves, and sure enough, a piece of sandy land emerged.

"Everyone will be wondering, how can this kind of adobe support such a huge forest? The answer is death and decay."

"The nutrients in the rainforest are almost not in the adobe, but trapped in the trees. The mahogany here grows too high, and the higher it grows, the bigger the canopy will be. Once the weather is windy and windy, there will be a danger of overturning. The rain softened the soil, and there was a strong wind swaying overhead, and then under an opportunity, a towering tree tens of meters collapsed. A dead tree is equivalent to a large bag of food falling to the ground."

"And the forest's recycling experts are termites. They inhabit the bunker-like mounds and number as many as two million. They can't directly use pincers to divide trees, but they secrete a kind of bacteria to do the work of decomposition. These The fungi absorb the nutrient essence of the wood, and the termites are eating the fungus!"

"Termite recycling is only the first part of the process. Under the adobe, there is still a large army continuing to do the recycling work. Millions of nematodes hide in the adobe particles and break down the fallen plants into smaller particles. About six weeks, Half of the fallen leaves and rotting wood can be removed. Then more are decomposed into bacteria, combined with the trunk of the big tree, and transported to the top of the trunk."

"The forest has a perfect recycling mechanism, which is the realm that human technology has always aspired to achieve. The longer I stay here, the more I understand that all of these are closely related. Plants depend on animals, and animals depend on plants. No matter how big or small they are Same."

He went around and searched where the trunk joined the soil.

Anthony asked, "Chen, what are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for a termite nest. It's a good tool to repel mosquitoes. With it, at least I don't have to worry about being bitten by mosquitoes at night."

As soon as everyone heard this, they were immediately tempted to help search for traces of termite nests. There is no one who is not afraid of mosquitoes. If you are in the city, even a mosquito buzzing in your ear at night can make you sleepless all night. What's more, at night, the whole jungle is full of buzzing mosquitoes and wings.

"Found it." Baker found something.

"Okay, carefully remove a piece. Don't get bitten by termites."

"How to get it?"

"...I'll do it." It was Chen Ergou himself who cut down a piece of wood fluffy termite nest, swept away the dense termites with leaves, and then collected them.

Continue to move forward, as usual at noon, it is fruit to satisfy the hunger.

When passing by a tree trunk, there was a muffled "bang" sound from the side of the road ahead, and everyone was startled.

Hearing the reputation, it turned out to be a huge fruit, just staged a falling object. If a person happened to pass by below, wouldn't his head be smashed?

Looking up with some fear, I realized that this tree is very strange. There are mushroom-like fruits growing on the bare trunk, all of which are huge dried fruits with a navel shape.

"What kind of fruit is this?" Jenny picked it up and asked.

The old Baker was still checking, and Chen Ergou had already given the answer, "It's a fruit that elephants like to eat very much. Let's go quickly, or we will encounter elephants again. This kind of fruit is squeezed. Only elephants can eat it, and rumor has it that they can hear the sound of the fruit falling to the ground and come quickly to eat it."

Everyone didn't dare to stay longer after hearing the words.

The further you go, the more novel it feels to walk from the trail to the main road.

"I think this road should get us where I want to go." There are more and more trails connected to the main road, which is now as busy as the road. This change strengthened the confidence of the three of them to follow Chen Ergou.

At this moment, there was a strange cry that sounded like a song or an animal singing in the dense forest ahead.

All three of them stopped, "What's that calling?"

Chen Ergou listened quietly for a while, then heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's human beings. We met Pygmies living in the forest."

"Is it human?!"

"Oh my God, have you finally met a human being?"

Everyone excitedly followed the sound. Seeing how excited they were, Chen Ergou hesitated for a while and decided not to act to break their fantasy. Go forward following the sound, and then come to a small tribal residence.

A dozen or so indigenous people looked at them strangely, not friendly but not hostile. Seeing such a state, the three people who had high expectations in their hearts were the first to feel disappointed, and couldn't help feeling cold.

The people here are not all that tall, and there are some dwarfs walking around among them. They have dressed modern, proving that they are not insular. But most women and children don't wear anything else, just tie a piece of bark or animal skin around their waist to cover their lower body.

Their skin is not bronze but black, and the most amazing thing is their height, maybe only three or four feet. It is so small that it almost makes people think that they have entered the dwarf kingdom, or met the seven dwarfs in the fairy tale world.

"They are Pygmies!" Chen Ergou said, "This is the shortest human being in the world. The Congo is so strange. It is rumored that there is one of the tallest people on the earth. Among them, the Vadusi people also live in the Congo jungle. ,. If the Pygmies are a country of Lilliputians, the Vadussi are like giants."

But after all, they belong to human beings, and the three Americans stepped forward to talk with expectations.

Chen Ergou didn't participate behind him, and let Goudan use the camera to take pictures of the pygmies' honeycomb-like jungle hut, which was not even as high as his waist. The tools of life are very primitive, and most of them are woven by themselves in the jungle.

The conversation between the three of them and the Pygmies was almost bible, each talking in his own way, and no one could understand what each other was saying. Jenny was the first to become annoyed, and said dejectedly, "There is no communication at all."
