Chapter 254: Prepare to Return

Skinks are a collective name for about 1,275 species of lizards in the world. They are distributed in all tropical regions around the world and in temperate regions of North America. However, the species in Southeast Asia and nearby islands are the most common. The largest ones can grow up to 66 centimeters, but generally Generally speaking, it is no more than twenty centimeters. At this time, the skink in front of Jiang Hai is only about fifteen or six centimeters, including the tail.

In fact, judging from its length, this game seems not enough to make wine, but this is the first time Jiang Hai has encountered this thing, so naturally he will not let it go. Underneath, Xiao Huang lurked down instantly.

When he came to the stone, he slapped the guy on the ground before he could escape.

But it's a pity that this is the first time Xiao Huang has seen such a thing. Although he is very smart, he knows to hold the position behind the snake's head when catching a snake. It knows to bite off the neck when catching a turkey. It also This is how Xiaohei was taught.

But when it caught this little toy, it underestimated the enemy a little. Although it hit this guy immediately, most of its power was on this guy's tail. Just when it thought it had caught this guy, , when he was about to call Jiang Hai over, this guy's tail was cut off instantly. Such a small lizard, like a gecko, would cut off its tail to escape.

This skink obviously followed the same path. Before Xiao Huang could react, it had already cut off its tail and ran away quickly. As it dodged several times in the gaps between the stones, it , has lost its trace.

"Fuck. He ran away." Looking at Xiao Huang's cute face as he looked at the half-broken tail under his hand, it was also blinded, and Jiang Hai, who had half-ran away, also gave a helpless smile. In fact, he I also forgot that this guy can cut off his tail to escape.

"Slap on the head later." But he knew. This can't be blamed on Xiao Huang. After all, Xiao Huang himself didn't understand this. So after Jiang Hai walked over, he threw the broken tail far away, then patted Xiao Huang's head and said with a smile.

Hear Jiang Hai's words. Xiao Huang couldn't help but stick out his tongue and let out a sigh of relief. In fact, he was quite embarrassed now.

But soon, nature gave it a chance to show off again, and the weather was really good today.

The wind is sunny and the sun is high in the sky. Such weather. It is also the favorite weather for these cold-blooded animals.

After walking forward for less than five minutes, they saw another skink, but this guy was bigger, about 21 or 2 centimeters. Without Jiang Hai saying anything, Xiao Huang had already quietly lurked over. In everyone's eyes. It went up and pinned this guy under its paws, and the skink was shocked by the surprise attack.

He wanted to run, but he still couldn't. He kept struggling. This time Xiao Huang learned the lesson of the previous failure. This time he pressed his head. No matter how hard this guy struggled, he didn't waver.

"Nice job." Jiang Hai looked at Xiao Huang's movements and couldn't help running over. He patted its head, grabbed the guy in front of him, and stuffed it into his backpack. This thing was different from a snake. Snakes had to be soaked alive, but this thing had to be soaked to death. It was made into dry After that, it can be put into the wine, but with the current sunny weather in the Boston area, it can be dried out in just a few days. Jiang Hai doesn't care at the moment. It is naturally the best if he can get these things.

With the harvest of this skink, Jiang Hai was in a much better mood. Everyone walked further into the mountains. Not long after, they bumped into some more skinks on some rocks. These skinks mainly eat... Bird eggs, frog eggs, small fish, insects, etc.

These things are available as long as there is water and grass, and they are not uncommon in the mountains.

Therefore, although these things are not as abundant or numerous as other species, they are not particularly rare either.

In a short time, Jiang Hai had caught five large skinks, and then he stopped catching these things.

After all, there aren't too many species of this species in this mountain, so let's let it multiply more.

If he doesn't catch skinks anymore, then Jiang Hai will catch snakes. Maybe God heard what he said. Just as he walked forward for less than ten minutes, this time Xiao Hei made a great discovery. In the distance On the sunny ground, there is a gray guy coiling over there.

"It's Tuqiuzi!" Jiang Hai couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw the snake, and his feet immediately slowed down.

After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Xiao Hei and Xiao Huang wanted to go up, but were called back by Jiang Hai.

Just kidding, the snakes in the past were not poisonous, so it was okay to let the two dogs go, but the earth balls were poisonous. If they were bitten, it would be troublesome, so Jiang Hai prepared to do it himself and signaled everyone to retreat first. Then he slowly touched it.

Tuqiuzi, whose scientific name is viper, is also called piebald snake. It is a kind of venomous snake and has many classifications.

It is distributed all over the world. The more famous ones are the sharp-nosed adder, the intermediary adder, the short-tailed adder, etc. The very famous bamboo-leaf adder in China is also a kind of adder. The most common one in the Americas is the copperhead adder. , there is no way, the Americas, like Asia, basically have many species, but there are not too many truly poisonous species.

The real paradise for poisons is Australia. Compared with the poisons in Australia, the poisons in Asia, Europe and America are at the kindergarten level.

Speaking of real venomous snakes, in addition to the sea snakes scurrying around, the most famous land venomous snakes in North America are pit vipers and rattlesnakes, but rattlesnakes are mainly distributed in the southern region, such as those in California. Just a lot.

Grasping the viper's head and body, Jiang Hai happily took out a bag and put it in. This bag was a cowhide bag with some ventilation holes on it to prevent the snake from becoming stuffy. Damn it, but the cowhide was enough for it to bite through. After finishing the bag, Jiang Hai also tied it to his backpack.

It's a good start, which makes Jiang Hai very happy. On this trip, he originally had three goals, skinks, snakes and deer antlers. Now he has got the skinks, and the deer antlers are actually not particularly difficult to get. Now Snakes are also showing signs, which is good news.

I don’t know if it was because this earthen ball brought good luck to Jiang Hai, so he walked towards the mountains again. Not long after, Jiang Hai encountered two more vipers, but these two vipers were probably one male and one viper. Poison, at this moment is... ahem.

In spring, everything revives, and animals also need to thrive. People sometimes have to fight in the wild, let alone animals. At this time, these two snakes were doing that thing, but Jiang Hai went up and forcibly killed these two snakes. The two guys separated.

Jiang Hai is not going to catch the female snake, but generally speaking, it takes at least more than an hour for a snake to do this, and two hours is considered a normal time. This shows how powerful Xu Xian is...

After letting the female snake go, Jiang Hai put the male snake into his bag. Fortunately, snakes don't have the concept of family, so Jiang Hai didn't feel any guilt. After catching two snakes, Not long after, Jiang Hai encountered three more. After loading them one by one, Jiang Hai had completed two-thirds of his mission this time.

"It's getting late, let's go back." But unlike Jiang Hai, who was always excited, Sandy Clive and the others couldn't do it. These girls don't have the physical fitness of Jiang Hai. They were tired after walking all afternoon, so Kama-Clive couldn't help but speak to Jiang Hai. After hearing her words, Jiang Hai realized that it was already four o'clock before he knew it.

"Can we go out before dark now?" Although they didn't get the deer antlers, Jiang Hai and the others didn't bring a tent to spend the night here, so they needed to leave the forest before dark, otherwise the beasts would wait until night Fortunately, poisonous insects and the like were hard to guard against, so Jiang Hai couldn't help but ask Bell beside him.

"It's a good time to go now. Deer should also have a chance. After all, the lizards and snakes you were looking for at the beginning don't have much requirements for water, so they kept walking into the forest. If you are looking for deer, just follow the Just water." After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Bell took out a compass and map, took a look at it, and said to Jiang Hai.

However, he also knew that his boss came here for a goal. Now that he has completed two goals, it is not difficult to get deer antlers and the like. After hearing Bell's words, Jiang Hai waved his hand and everyone walked towards the outside of the mountain. .

Seeing that they were finally going out, the three little girls here couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although they liked to play in the forest, it was quite boring to play too late, especially as Jiang Hai had been catching lizards and Snakes, at least 70% of women are afraid of these things, and these three girls belong to one of the 70%.

Now that everyone had made up their mind to leave, their steps became much lighter for a while. However, due to Bell's intention, they did not return the same way, but walked to the river that Jiang Hai and the others passed by at noon. Downstream, I plan to walk back upstream from here to see if I can encounter the deer drinking water.

Needless to say, hard work really paid off. At around five o'clock, when the sun was about to set, in the eyes of Jiang Hai and the others, they spotted a large herd of deer from a distance. This group of deer numbered about fifty. Many.

Basically, they are white-tailed deer, which is the most abundant deer species in the Appalachian Mountains.

This kind of deer is different from elk and reindeer. Elk and reindeer have large antlers and have a certain degree of lethality.

Moose are very strong and can compete head-on with bears without giving in. However, white-tailed deer have no special survival ability except that they are faster. An adult male deer is two meters long and one meter high at its maximum, but its weight is But it's only more than a hundred, or even dozens of kilograms.

This kind of self-respect allows them to run fast, but they cannot compete with carnivores. Their only strong reproductive power allows them to dominate here. Since wild wolves, mountain lions and the like became extinct in this area, they have become The most damaging species to the ecological environment. (To be continued.)
