Chapter 873 Fireworks
Let’s not talk about the first successful hunting of prey by Cheetah Harley. Although it was a surprise, it was not shocking.
After all, this is the appearance of the cheetah that everyone is familiar with in their memory, elegant, swift, and efficient, not the silly one who kept digging the soil with his back to Bifang.
Just like the top student in the class always gets the first place in the grade, getting the first place again will not surprise too many people. Instead, it will attract attention if the exam is poor. At this time, the cheetah is an excellent student in the eyes of everyone. It just returned to the position it should have.
But Bifang pierced a medium-sized 200-jin horned wildebeest with one strike, and the people in front of the screen were completely stunned.
It was not the first time that Bifang pierced the prey with a spear.
In fact, from the second live broadcast when Bifang just showed his talent in the live broadcast industry, he achieved the achievement of piercing a wolf with a spear.
But that was a spear, which applied a simple mechanical structure, but now it is directly using a spear to achieve such an amazing result!
The javelin has always been a weapon that frequently appears in Bifang's live broadcast. It belongs to the level of a big killer. No matter how you say it, there is a leverage effect in it, which allows people to use less force and throw better results.
It is also quite cumbersome to make. It takes a long time to make a good launcher with a knife. Whether it is the length of the head or the fulcrum, there are great requirements, and ordinary people can't play it.
But now in front of everyone is an ordinary spear, a wooden spear without any mechanical mechanism in it!
The simpler it is, the greater the sensation it will cause.
Because anyone can make a wooden spear, just find a long and straight wood, cut it with a knife, and at most roast it with fire to strengthen the hardness of the spear head.
Unlike the javelin, you may not be able to learn it, you may not be able to make it, and you may not be able to use it after making it.
But who can achieve the level of penetrating a 200-kilogram beast with one shot?
In the past, when I used a spear, I could at least have the false feeling that I just didn't know how to make tools, but I might not be weak in this aspect. Now, this intuitive gap between humans brings a stronger sense of frustration.
Similarly, it also shows the unquestionable strength of Bifang.
There are indeed world champions who can throw a spear to a terrifying degree of 100 meters, but that is a standard spear with a symmetrical center of gravity made by modern industrialization, and only pursues distance, not accuracy.
Throwing a spear more than 20 meters away, such lethal accuracy to a moving target, killing with one blow, full of power, the audience has not seen it much.
[Fang Shen. Are you still human? ]
[Invincible within 20 meters belongs to]
[Too cruel, too fierce, so handsome]
[The speed of this spear, I slowed it down by 1 time and didn't see how it was thrown clearly, it disappeared in a whoosh, and then killed a wildebeest. ]
[It exploded directly, just rubbing a wooden spear can dominate the grassland, right? ]
[I wonder why Fang Shen hasn't made spears recently. This is still the African savannah. Feelings are not necessary.]
[Fang Shen: I used to take care of you, demonstrate skills, and make some mechanical structures. Now I'm showing my cards. I won't pretend anymore. I can kill people with any branch I find.]
[Prince Mu gave the protagonist a spaceship*1--King of Hunting!]
[What happened to Prince Mu? Is he bankrupt? Why is he so stingy?]
[Prince Mu gave the protagonist a spaceship*66--There's no money in the account, just recharged.]
[6666]
[Fu Ge V50]
[By the way, we got two at once. We can't eat them all now, right?]
"It should be three, right?"
Bi Fang turned around and looked around, but found that the little wildebeest that had just been born was gone nearby. I didn't know where it ran away. He was a little puzzled, "Did you see the little wildebeest just now?"
[I don't remember]
[Wait, I'll go check the replay]
[It seems to have escaped]
[Wait, damn, it was eaten by a fish! ]
[Damn, I saw a fish too, a really big one, right in the river!]
[Crocodile? Why didn't I see it?]
[It's not a crocodile, it's a fish, I don't know what it is, it looks like a catfish, with a really big mouth]
[Yes, I watched the replay, the little one was panicking and jumped into the river, just when he was about to come up, a big fish jumped out from behind, dragged it back, and then it disappeared]
"Eat it by a fish?"
Bifang looked surprised, just now his attention was on the wildebeest and the hunting situation of the cheetah next to him, he didn't really care that much.
He thought that the little wildebeest that had just taken action had escaped with the big group, but judging from the comments in the live broadcast room, it was eaten by a fish?
Since he couldn't watch the replay like the audience, Bifang walked to the river and looked at the calm water. The water in this small river was quite turbid and hardly flowed, and the water surface was very calm.
It was a sunny day, and no crocodiles came out to bask in the sun, which basically meant that there were no crocodiles in the river. It must have been caused by other animals in the water.
Maybe it was a big catfish, as the audience said, but it was not certain.
"In addition to crocodiles, there are also many freshwater beasts in African freshwater, such as African water tigers and African giant catfish. They are all possible and often attack some small animals on the shore."
Bifang looked at the water for a long time and saw nothing. He didn't have a perspective eye, but was just curious.
He took this opportunity to popularize many common dangers in African rivers to the audience.
"When you encounter rivers and pools in Africa, don't let your guard down, thinking that you can replenish fresh water. There are many dangers hidden in the rivers here. Let's not talk about crocodiles for now. Everyone knows, just like the African water tigers I just mentioned, they are covered with horns. The teeth can be up to one and a half meters long, and they even hunt in pairs, so they should not be underestimated.”
"In addition to these big guys, there are also many little ones that you can't see, such as onchocerciasis, which may be more well-known and is a parasite."
“For the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, all the domestic audience could focus on Professor TYY’s work on artemisinin. What many people overlooked is that Professor TYY was not the only one who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine that year. Not one person, but three.”
"The other two winners are Satoshi Omura from Japan and William Campbell from Ireland. These two scientists won the award because of the same achievement, which was the invention of effective treatments for parasitic infections. They collaborated to isolate a A new bacteriocin called ivermectin has greatly reduced the incidence of onchocerciasis.”
"Onchocerciasis is a pathogen that lives in human skin and can cause severe eye damage or even blindness. If it acts on the eyes, it can cause the patient to have eye inflammation, pus discharge, the eyeball cannot move freely, and even The adult worm was observed to be squirming on the surface of the eyeball.”
"This parasite is spread through the bite of black flies that breed in fast-moving streams. Dark brown or black blood-sucking flies are the intermediate hosts of onchocerciasis, which makes residents living near rivers more susceptible to this parasite. , so onchocerciasis is often called river blindness.”
Listening to this, many viewers shuddered to the point where they felt their eyes were itchy and couldn't help but want to rub them.
The calm and turbid water gives the African savannah a strong sense of mystery and horror.
[My penis shrank when I heard it]
【Is it so scary? 】
[Damn, this is too dangerous. It’s better to be safe at home. If nothing happens, don’t go to the wild]
"Hahaha, the wild is not that scary. You just need to be careful. However, you should not go into the water easily. After all, you don't know if there are any weird big or small monsters living inside, which may be harmful to your body. What terrible consequences."
After a few simple words of admonishment, Bi Fang glanced at the water again. In the end, he gained nothing and turned around to collect the spoils.
It is not unusual for terrestrial animal babies to be eaten by aquatic organisms.
Bi Fang quickly came to the horned wildebeest he was hunting. He only saw a big hole in it. Through the big hole, he could faintly see the dark red internal organs. The spear that penetrated it fell to the ground beside it.
Even though its body was penetrated, this wildebeest did not die immediately, but struggled to run forward for a while.
At that time, the wooden spear penetrated its body and stuck on the ground, which shows how powerful Bifang's spear was.
In the process of running forward, the ground formed a certain resistance, and the smooth spear fell out of the horned wildebeest's body under the lubrication of blood, covered with red blood.
"We need to collect the trophies quickly and take them away, otherwise it is not safe on the African savannah and we may encounter other predators at any time."
Bi Fang pulled out his dagger and cut open the animal's abdomen without bleeding first. In an instant, a large amount of internal organs covered with mucus and blood slipped out. Among the many intestines, Bi Fang accurately found the stomach bag.
The thick stench spread crazily in the air, making people want to vomit, but Bifang could bear it all. More important things were waiting for him.
"Obtaining the salt the body needs from the blood is a common way for carnivores. Compared with other parts of the body, the salt content in the blood will be slightly higher. I will collect the blood of these two animals as salt. Supplements, and for that we need containers, which are their stomach pouches.”
"The stomach bag has good elasticity, strong airtightness, and does not easily loosen odor. It is an ideal container. I have always used it this way, but it used to hold water, but now it holds blood."
After taking one end, Bifang came to the other end. The animal whose trachea was bitten by Harley no longer even twitched.
He disemboweled them in the same way and quickly found what he needed. Then he went to the river to clean up, and finally flushed them with his own water, thus getting two clean containers.
Feeling the animal's neck, Bi Fang found the location of the artery and cut it. At the same time, he used the stomach bag to take over and watched the blood spurt out and pour into the stomach bag.
Soon, Bifang collected two heavy blood bags.
After tying the knot, the next step is to collect the meat and some useful parts.
Harley next to him was directly gnawing at the prey that had been disemboweled, and he also knew where the taste was best, so he started on the liver, and Bi Fang didn't stop him when he saw it.
"We can't take the prey away. It's too heavy and the smell of blood is too strong. We can only choose the most cost-effective places, such as liver, fatty meat, and tenderloin."
There is no such thing as wasted talk in the wilderness, and there are a lot of animals that don't have enough to eat.
"By the way, there are also fur and brains. The temperature is still a bit cold at night. It would be great if there are two furs. The comfort and thermal insulation can be greatly improved."
The body structure of mammals is almost the same. When it comes to cutting these animals, Bifang is almost at the level of butchering a cow. The whole process is smooth and looks pleasing to the eye.
Now he doesn't even need to hang up the prey. With a dagger inserted, the skin and flesh are easily separated.
The spinal muscles are clearly separated, and two long tenderloins are cut out, bright red and soft.
Although tenderloins are not high in fat, or even the least, from the perspective of cost-effectiveness, it is not worth it. The same weight is not higher in energy than meat from other places, but it is delicious!
Wild animals have well-developed muscles. If they are not stewed, the meat is mostly woody. Only tenderloins are relatively tender, which can be used as a consolation. It is a rare delicacy in the wilderness.
When the meat was almost cut, the two large furs rolled up, and Harley next to them had just eaten almost everything, and his beard was still stained with blood.
Bifang quickly took it away from the scene, and soon after the man and the leopard left, several coyotes came to the two disemboweled wildebeests and feasted on them. But before they could eat a few more bites, a group of more ferocious spotted hyenas rushed over.
The spotted hyenas ruthlessly drove away the group of little wolves, occupied the two fresh prey, and started to bite them happily.
The plain monitor lizard, which arrived last, could only watch from a distance until the spotted hyenas finished eating, and then secretly stepped forward to compete with the coyotes who ran back for the leftovers.
In the evening, the smelly corpses were already covered with flies, and a large number of ants and reptiles moved under the animals. The vultures that had been waiting for a long time flapped their wings and landed, picking the easy-to-bite rotten meat to enjoy their dinner.
Perhaps in less than three days, there will be two piles of bones under here.
The bonfire was burning, and the fur of two huge wildebeests was spread out by square frames, covered with brains and warm water, supported on the ground, and slowly smoked.
A string of tenderloins was skewered on a smooth branch with the bark peeled off. It was sizzling and smoking under the flames, exuding an alluring aroma.
The wooden bowl next to it had just been taken down and was waiting to cool down. The fresh water inside was still gurgling and boiling, emitting hot steam.
The newly made wooden spears were of uniform thickness and neatly placed aside.
The stones were stacked in a circle, a pit of the right size was dug, and the hut was completely built into a roof, with thick leaves underneath.
The backpack fell to the ground, pressing down on a few young shoots.
The wet season had only started a few days ago, and young shoots had already appeared on the originally golden African savannah.
It was another beautiful day.
After everything was packed up, Bifang sat by the campfire and enjoyed today's dinner.
