Chapter 875 Black Rhino

The scientific name of the baobab tree is the Baobab tree. It has a very peculiar shape. The round trunk is like a bucket, the crown of the tree is huge, and the branches are all kinds of strange. The overall shape is like a carrot stuck upside down on the ground.

It can grow very large, with a diameter of more than 12 meters. It takes more than 40 people holding hands to circle it.

However, most baobabs are not tall, only about 10 meters.

It is full of treasures. It can be said that if everyone in Africa has a 10-meter-high baobab tree, the problem of eating can be solved by at least half.

The diameter of this baobab tree in front of us is not so exaggerated, but it is also very majestic when you really come to the root, like a stone wall painted with white lime blocking in front of you.

However, at this time, the audience is more curious about the bread-flavored fruit in Bifang's mouth.

[Is it really bread-flavored? ]

[Nature is really full of wonders, and there are trees like this]

[Short and fat, it feels so cute]

[This bird is also very smart. The trunk is so thick that snakes can't climb up. It is invincible! 】

Snakes can be said to be the natural enemies of most birds except birds of prey, and they especially love to eat eggs.

There are few trees on the grassland, and there is only one baobab tree in a square of dozens of meters. The thick trunk itself cannot be entangled by snakes to climb up, and there are no other trees next to it, just like there is no way to move from the nearby branches.

It must be said that it is indeed a good place to build a nest, no wonder it can accumulate a huge nest.

"I don't know if it tastes like bread, I have to taste it to know whether it is true or not."

Bifang smiled and shook his head.

Survival in the wilderness, one method can lead to all methods.

Solving problems depends on methods and techniques, not finding the same questions to use, so that you will never pass until you die.

Bifang knows a lot about various plants, but that is all knowledge, not practical experience.

Bifang knows what many plants are, their appearance, function, effect, and smell, but in fact he may have never seen them. Baobab trees are like this, and he just knows that it tastes like bread, but this is just knowledge that tells him that it is like this.

Now there is an excellent opportunity to practice.

Baobab trees bloom and bear fruit in October.

It is October now.

On the short branches, in addition to a huge bird's nest, there are a lot of navy blue fruits hanging on the big tree, which are very large.

It's a good time again.

"It's lucky to meet a baobab tree on the grassland. Many people have never seen it in their lives, let alone taste its fruits."

Bifang took the rope from his waist, tied a fist-sized stone at the end, and tried to throw it on the branch.

The baobab tree is so big and the tree body is smooth that it is not realistic to climb up. You can only rely on ropes or ladders.

Fortunately, although the tree is thick, it is not tall. The whole tree looks like a big-bellied beer barrel.

From a distance, the tree does not seem to grow on the ground, but is inserted in a big-bellied vase, which is why it has the nickname "bottle tree".

After trying several times, Bifang successfully threw the stone and hung over a branch.

After hanging the rope down and twisting it together, Bifang grabbed it in his hand and climbed up the tree trunk.

Harley, who was below, also sat down, yawned, looked around boredly, and remained a little alert.

After so many days of survival in the wilderness, Harley realized that there were many dangers on the grassland, and there were days of hunger, and life was far less comfortable than before.

Holding the hemp rope in his hand, Bifang came to the treetop little by little.

Facing the sudden visit of the "giant", the weaverbirds in the entire nest became agitated, and flew out quickly from various exits, and one after another black shadow flashed quickly in front of their eyes.

There were so many birds that Jerry on his shoulder was so scared that he got into his arms all of a sudden, not daring to show his head.

Bifang was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and he caught one of them directly in full view of everyone, and then put it in his pocket.

"There are so many weaverbirds, we can also see if there are any bird eggs, and stew them for soup at night."

[Fuck, catching birds with bare hands, this is too awesome]

[This is fucking, I saw all afterimages, and you can catch it? 】

[A net of heaven and earth, right? (dog head)]

[I report that Fang Shen is practicing martial arts with cheats! ]

Although Bifang has repeatedly made amazing moves, every time he does it, there are still a lot of people who are shocked.

Weaverbirds are social animals, which is rare among birds.

The nest they built is like a group apartment, but unfortunately there are few exits in this apartment and there are many birds, so they can't all fly out at once. Bifang caught one and put it in his pocket and continued to guard the hole.

Just like the barrage said, if a snake really crawled in, it would really be like entering a big cafeteria, with free self-service.

Dynamic vision plus nerve reflexes, catching these little birds coming out of the hole is like being helped by God, just like hitting them in the palm of your hand.

When no birds flew out, a full eight weaverbirds were lying in Bifang's bag.

The size of this bird is only slightly smaller than that of a pigeon, and some are even as big as pigeons. Whether it is barbecue or stew, it should be very good.

[I escaped the snake, but not Lao Fang]

[Weaverbird: 6]

[I want to taste what it tastes like]

[This nest is really big, I have never seen such a big bird nest, it is really amazing]

"There are so many in one hole, conservatively estimated that there are more than a hundred weaverbirds living in it, nearly a hundred and fifty, which is also a big family."

After finishing the job, Bifang did not forget to reach into the nest and actually dug out a lot of bird eggs.

Many birds do not lay eggs like mammals do, which require a special good season. Often, they can lay eggs as long as there is food. Bifang was not surprised by this.

Even if he did not get the fruit of the baobab tree this time, just looking at these eight birds and a bunch of small bird eggs would have been a huge profit.

Unfortunately, I don’t know if there will be such a good opportunity next time.

Zipping up the backpack to prevent the weaverbirds that were not yet dead from escaping, Bifang followed the branches to the end, took the stick from his back, and knocked at the papaya-sized fruit. After a few hits, one was broken. The fruit fell naturally under the action of gravity and hit the ground, leaving a small pit.

Harley under the tree was startled by the sudden fruit and carefully approached to smell it. Before he could smell what it smelled, another fruit fell down, right next to it.

The cheetah was scared and immediately left the tree and ran more than ten meters away.

It was not until Bifang knocked down seven or eight fruits and came to the tree and called out that it dared to get closer.

"You look so cowardly."

Bifang knocked on its head and tied the fruits together with a rope, preparing to hang them directly on its body later.

Each of these fruits is as big as a papaya, and they can't fit in eight bags, so this method is the only way.

In addition, Bifang also got a lot of tree leaves.

"Baobab leaves are rich in vitamins and calcium, and their fresh leaves are a favorite vegetable for locals. The leaves can be made into soup or fed to horses; the leaves can be dried and mashed and used as seasoning."

"Not to mention the fruits of the flowers, its seeds can be dried and used as coffee beans."

The leaves can be eaten?

Coffee beans?

There are so many uses?

"Not only that, the baobab tree is hollow inside, and many people even chisel a door directly and live in it."

[Damn, this tree is too useful, right? ]

[Let me count, it can store water, the fruits can be eaten, the leaves can be eaten, and it can also be used as a house. It is a treasure tree! 】

【It's really awesome.】

"Too much harvest."

Bifang looked at the front and felt happy from the bottom of his heart.

If he didn't want to continue to go north, he would live directly on this baobab tree and wouldn't have to worry about food at all.

The eight fruits he picked were only a small part of the tree, and there were still a lot of hanging fruits.

Finally, Bifang came to the tree, pulled out the dagger and inserted it, ready to take some water to drink.

Usually, it is troublesome to get fresh water, and I can't drink it freely. Now I finally have the opportunity, of course I have to indulge myself.

The water stored in the trunk is filtered by the tree, and there is no need to boil it for sterilization.

The bark of the baobab tree is not hard, and the dagger can be inserted easily. When Bifang pulled it out, everyone realized how exaggerated the so-called "water storage tower" is.

Just a crack with a dagger, it actually oozes out directly, continuously!

Bifang quickly took out the kettle and waited until the tree slowly healed itself and the sap decreased, and then drank all the water in the kettle in one breath.

A light sour taste, a thin sweet taste, a rather complex taste spreads in the mouth, and it is not difficult to drink.

[How is it, what does it taste like? ]

[It must be the taste of water]

[Single 6]

[I want to drink it too]

[Isn't the amount of water too large? ]

[It's a bit outrageous, isn't it said to absorb water, why does it feel like it's hollow inside?]

"Actually, there is no taste, it's too thin, it's almost like clear water, but it's not difficult to drink."

Bifang gave his own evaluation.

If the taste is strong, it's okay, the problem is that the taste is too thin, it feels a bit mixed and strange, but it's okay.

"As for being hollow, it's actually not bad. The baobab tree itself is full of water, just like a water tower. And because the baobab tree has a strong ability to survive, drilling a hole in the tree to get water will not endanger the life of the baobab tree, so the local villagers can recycle the water of the baobab tree."

"Some people even directly drill holes in the top of the tree, and use buckets to collect water when there is no water."

[Outrageous]

[It would be great if it could be planted on a large scale]

[Unfortunately, it's impossible, otherwise I wouldn't have never seen it]

[By the way, can you buy baobab fruit in the market? ]

[I don't know, but as long as you have money, you can buy anything]

"Okay, we've explored enough, let's go back quickly."

I wanted to see the situation near the camp, but I didn't expect to encounter a baobab tree and a large nest of weaverbirds, which was simply delightful.

Bifang couldn't control his emotions, thinking about returning to the camp quickly, packing up his things, and tasting whether the breadfruit tasted as good as they said.

Harley next to him was also very excited.

It didn't know whether the breadfruit was delicious or not, but it could clearly see the birds stuffed in Bifang's backpack.

I don't know what it tastes like.

The little cheetah didn't have complicated thoughts. He just thought about what to eat today. His brain couldn't support too complicated thinking. As a result, before he could figure it out, he was pressed down by a big hand and then heard a cry.

"Black rhino!"

The cheetah didn't understand what was going on. It couldn't understand human language, but when Halley raised his head and saw the dark monster in the bushes not far away, the instinct of the creature made him want to retreat.

Bifang glanced at Harley who was retreating, and was relieved: "It's OK."

When danger comes, Harley still has a way to detect it.

Compared with Bifang's behavior at this time, the audience only has the quintessence of Chinese culture in their hearts.

[Fuck, black rhino! ]

[Fuck, it's so big! ]

[Damn, this is too big? ]

[Black rhino armor, combined! ]

Bifang and the cheetah lay down quietly, and the drone next to them moved forward quickly, came to the depths of the bushes, and filmed the scene more carefully.

The large body, sharp head horns, and thick shoulder armor, no matter from which aspect, this is a killer.

If it is in the zoo, it will naturally look majestic and a little silly, but in the wilderness, it gives people a strong sense of threat, which is a bit frightening.

Apart from the peculiarities, rhinos are currently the largest animals on land after elephants, with a body length of nearly 5 meters and a weight of up to 6 tons. Just this outrageous weight alone can kill a person with one sitting.

How could the audience not be afraid of a creature that could explode and take their lives at any time?

Bifang was very interested and very happy: "We actually encountered a black rhino. We are really lucky!"

For others, encountering a black rhino in the wild requires fear, but for him, as long as he is careful, it is a completely adventurous journey to gain knowledge.

[Old Fang, you are really not afraid of death]

[What are you afraid of? The one standing in front of you is the world's adventure king, the world's number one jungler, a warrior who can kill black bears with bare hands. It's just a black rhino.]

[It's too small, it's my mindset]

[Go alone 6]

"Black rhinos were once distributed in most areas of Africa south of the Sahara Desert, but now their distribution range has shrunk to southern Africa and Kenya."

"Now the number of black rhinos in Africa does not exceed 4,000, only about 3,000, and the subspecies in West Africa is extinct. We are lucky to encounter one, of course, it's not something you can see casually."

Bifang's tone was slightly excited.

Most rhinos live alone, and individuals rarely come into contact with each other. Only white rhinos live in groups of about 10, and most of the time they avoid humans. Unless you use drones to search, it is difficult to see them on the prairie.

"Although it is large, we don't need to worry too much. Rhinos are relatively docile animals and don't fight easily."

"Male rhinos in mating season and female rhinos feeding their calves are easily stimulated and should not be provoked."

"Although they are bulky, they can still walk or run at a fairly fast speed, even in dense forests full of thorns. For example, African black rhinos can reach a speed of 45 kilometers per hour in a short distance. Therefore, adult rhinos have no enemies except humans."

"But this is actually the same for all animals. It is an instinct to survive better."
