Chapter 171 Crunchy

Seeing the cave, Chen Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But when he reached the entrance of the cave, he stopped.

"It is undoubtedly lucky to be able to encounter this kind of cave in such a hot weather, but before we go in, we must check it carefully, and don't go in directly, in case there is a large beast in the cool, we Maybe it's dead!"

As he said that, Chen Xu found a stone around him, and threw it directly along the entrance of the cave.

After waiting for a while, he didn't hear any sound, and then he walked into the cave.

The cave has a large space, at least 20 square meters, and the surrounding area and even the roof are made of loess and rocks.

At this moment, a scorpion with a black carapace and golden limbs crawled out from the crack in the soil.

Taking advantage of his sharp eyes, he looked at it at once, then stepped on it, grabbed the poisonous hook with his hand, and grabbed the scorpion.

The scorpion was only 4-5m in size, hanging in the air, struggling constantly.

"Hey, I came across a small lunch snack!"

Chen Xu looked at the little scorpion in his hand, and the corner of his mouth curled up, "This kind of scorpion is everywhere in Africa. As I said before in the desert of Devil City, if you can't find food and water, these insects may become your last survival Assure!"

"This scorpion is still very young and has not reproduced parasites on its body. Although it is a bit disgusting, as long as I don't eat its poison sac, I will be fine!"

After saying that, he threw the little scorpion into his mouth, bit the tail, tore it hard, and chewed it.

The audience can even hear the sound of the scorpion's carapace "creaking" and "creaking" being crushed in Master Xu's mouth from the footage captured by the drone.

At this time, there was only a small piece of scorpion tail left in Chen Xu's hand. Perhaps the taste was not very good, and his whole face became a little hideous, as if he had eaten some chili, "Hah...it seems that the African The taste of the scorpion is not very good, but the protein energy it contains can at least temporarily relieve my hunger!"

"Haha, I heard the sound, crunchy!"

"Scorpion: Wait, I haven't written a suicide note yet!"

"Crystal Pioneer: Pawn!"

"Yesterday Xiaobai gave the anchor 50 rice balls! As a Scorpio, I can't help but feel a chill down my spine!"

"TAN is giving away 10 grilled fish! Scorpion: Nima, don't eat the big rhino, you eat me, QAQ!"

After replenishing a little energy, Chen Xu came to the entrance of the cave, "This is a good place to enjoy the cool air, but it is also a good place for other large wild animals. I don't want to be intruded by other animals suddenly when I am resting, so I must find some Something blocked the hole!"

"I don't know if you still remember. When I was surviving in the Yunnan tropical rainforest, I said that beasts have an instinct, that is, when they encounter obstacles, they will subconsciously go around. I can find some dead trees and shrubs. Build a simple fence here!"

So, he searched around and found a bunch of dead thorny tree trunks. He smiled and said, "This is a good thing. It is a kind of black locust tree in Africa. Have you seen the thorns on it? It is very hard and Very sharp and many wild animals don't like to be near it!"

After explaining, Chen Xu immediately carefully pulled a few over,

Add some shrub branches to form a fence.

Afterwards, he returned to the cave, used his backpack as a pillow, and lay down leisurely.

Seeing the mocking barrage of "Xu must be paralyzed" and "You're inflated again" all over the screen, Chen Xu chuckled.

After chatting with everyone for more than two hours, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon.

At this time, the hottest time of the day has been avoided.

Chen Xu immediately packed his things, kicked off the locust tree, and continued to drive towards the dry riverbed in the south.

After about forty minutes, he finally saw the river bed in front of him, and immediately ran over excitedly.

Because he began to see green vegetation covering, which fully shows that there is a certain water source nearby!

After searching along the riverbed for a while, Chen Xu finally found a pool of water, but unfortunately, it was a pool of stagnant water.

"The water is not flowing, and it's already smelly. Look at the dead mouse floating in the water. This is warning us that there must be a lot of bacteria and parasites in the water!"

"Especially the blood-sucking worm, which is a very terrible parasite in Africa. If it infects the intestinal tract, it will cause severe dysentery."

Chen Xu shook his head with a serious face. Obviously, between a sip of water to quench his thirst and death from diarrhea, he valued the latter more.

But just as he stood up and was about to leave, suddenly, a plant with green leaves and red thorns on the edge appeared in front of his eyes.

Chen Xu rolled his eyes, squatted down, and broke off a thick leaf.

"Is this aloe vera?"

"It looks like it looks like an aloe vera, and it has thorns on both sides!"

"Could Master Xu want to eat aloe vera? Can this be eaten?"

Looking at the barrage, he smiled and nodded, "Yes, this is indeed aloe vera, a kind of African aloe vera, also called aloe vera Curacao, one of the five main edible aloe vera in the world, and one of the five types of aloe vera currently used in Africa. The most widely used aloe in terms of food, medicine and beauty."

"Look at its meat, it's very thick. I just need to use a dagger to peel off the top layer of skin, and then draw a few more lines on the aloe meat, and a lot of juice will flow down!"

After speaking, he showed it to everyone.

After scraping off the aloe vera meat, Chen Xu immediately put it near his mouth.

Sure enough, just as he said, drops of transparent, slightly gelatinous liquid slowly flowed down the aloe vera flesh and entered his mouth.

After Chen Xu drank about a dozen drops in total, he stopped drinking.

The audience is a little puzzled:

"Master Xu, why don't you drink more!"

"Yes, Master Xu, there are still so many, I can't afford to eat them all!"

"Yes, just to relieve hunger!"

Unexpectedly, Chen Xu shook his head, "Using aloe vera to replenish water is only an urgent need. Although aloe vera liquid contains a lot of nutrients, it also contains a lot of emodin glycosides. After taking it, it enters the intestinal tract and will exert a stimulating and laxative effect. , which is diarrhea."

"Some primitive tribes in Africa often use aloe vera as a laxative, so we must not eat too much, try not to exceed 15 grams, which is also the maximum amount of aloe vera poisoning in the human body."

"Don't be discouraged if we haven't found a water source. Since there can be stagnant water in this riverbed, we will always find new water sources along the riverbed!"

After the words fell, he began to walk along the river bed and continue walking forward.
