Chapter 876 You'll Suffer the Consequences

Without personal experience, it is often difficult to understand the oppressive feeling caused by the huge size of a rhinoceros.

Especially the sharp long horns. If they were hit, not to mention splitting into two halves, they could at least be easily stabbed through.

For this reason, Bi Fang did not approach rashly.

[I feel like I will die if I get poked]

[Take care of yourself and let go of your feelings]

[Why I feel so cute (eating a lollipop)]

[It’s a pity, I heard that there seemed to be rhinos in ancient China]

[It does exist, but it seems to have become extinct at the beginning of the 20th century]

Perhaps influenced by Bi Fang's so-called good luck, the audience in the live broadcast room was also very curious and interested in the sudden appearance of the big guy.

"Harley is very smart and quickly picked up on my body language."

Bi Fang happily touched the cheetah's head. The appearance of the black rhinoceros attracted most of his attention, but he also did not forget to pay attention to the cheetah beside him.

【How to say? 】

【What did Harley do】

【have no idea】

[Is it because the cowardice is just right (funny)]

Bi Fang smiled: "You can say that it's just the right amount of cowardice."

When Bi Fang saw the black rhinoceros, his first action was to shrink his body and squat down to hide his figure.

And when he did this, Harley instinctively understood the meaning, made the same choice, and tried to retreat.

At this time, Harley's posture was with his butt raised higher. It was obviously not an offensive posture, but he felt threatened and wanted to retreat, just like a cat with its hair blown up.

Bi Fang continued: "Being able to know how to advance, retreat, and be afraid is a very critical point for survival in the wilderness. Don't overestimate your own strength. If you can live simply, live simply."

"I have always said that feeling fear is not a shameful thing, but a good thing. It is a very critical point in biological evolution."

【Makes sense】

[Combat power early warning device, right?]

[I especially like to watch Fang Shen’s live broadcast, not for anything else but to speak nicely for him, hehehehe]

The arrival of the wet season is very obvious on the grassland, or the grassland in the north is more lush, and the shrubs grow vigorously. When Bifang and Harley squat down, it is basically guaranteed that only one head is exposed.

The black rhinoceros did not notice the two "little guys" hiding not far away who were secretly observing it.

Being a herbivore, but choosing to live alone is a testament to its strength.

The natural strength also makes creatures like black rhinos less vigilant. Usually, as long as they don't jump around, they won't be discovered.

The long green grass is shadowy.

Bi Fang whispered: "From the perspective of how to deal with a black rhinoceros in the wild, it is similar to the white-legged bison encountered in the Banna rainforest."

“Cows usually don’t attack animals shorter than themselves, because they feel that no one shorter than them can threaten them, so when they see a bison, they lie down on the ground as soon as possible and slowly move away, and they can often escape danger. "

"Of course, if it has been locked before and is considered an enemy, it will be treated differently."

"The methods for dealing with large animals are similar, and the same is true for rhinos. From this point of view, the countermeasures for encountering herbivores and carnivores in the wild are exactly the opposite."

"Do you still remember what I always said before, don't panic when you encounter a beast, let alone run away. They can smell your fear and bite you hard."

[Yeah, remember, remember]

[It’s still my motto now]

[What kind of motto does this need to be used for? 】

[Maybe it’s a travel friend]

"You are facing ferocious beasts. Carnivores will treat you as prey, so you need to show threats and expand your body size as much as possible to avoid being regarded as prey."

"On the contrary, if the grazer is not interested in you, you should be careful not to threaten it, and reduce your size as much as possible to avoid being regarded as a predator."

"You need to keep these two points in mind in the wild, and don't remember them wrong, otherwise it will be bad."

Bi Fang's tone was serious and serious.

[It went against the grain and the whole village held a banquet]

【I want to sit at the children's table】

[Stupid, there are parents at the children’s table, so they can’t get anything. When eating chicken, you can only eat chicken butts and chicken necks. I suggest you be at the old man’s table, they can’t grab you]

【Something】

【Learned from the Master】

On the grassland, the black rhinoceros chewed the twigs of the shrubs with its thick lips.

"Both white and black rhinos feed on grasses found in the African savannah, but their diets are very different."

"The white rhinoceros has a very wide upper lip and can eat short grass, while the black rhinoceros has a more prominent lip and can collect twigs and bite them off with its premolars. Unfortunately, the white rhinoceros is extinct and we will not see such obvious effects in the future. Compare the difference.”

【What a pity. 】

【Another beautiful species is missing from the world】

"But in addition to grass, they also eat some fruits. We are destined to meet each other, so we leave a breadfruit for it."

"The baobab tree will bear fruit quickly after blooming. The fruit matures in the rainy season and can be hung on the tree until the dry season. It will not fall off easily. In addition, its shell is thick and hard. Rhinos may not eat it in their lifetime. Let’s give it a try.”

"Of course, don't let it see us. It would be bad if it leaves a wrong impression on humans."

It is not easy to encounter black rhinos in the wild of Kenya. Bifang looked at them curiously for a long time. Before leaving, he picked a breadfruit from his body, smashed the skin with a dagger, and pulled out the fruit, and put it on the ground.

The smell of breadfruit is very strong. After about a few minutes, it seems to smell a fragrance.

The black rhino swayed and loosened the bush in its mouth and walked towards the breadfruit. It was obviously very novel to see this thing for the first time. It lowered its head and sniffed for a long time, and finally ate it happily.

Bifang, who was hiding behind the trees, saw this situation and felt happy.

He liked to deal with large animals very much, especially this kind of gentle big guy. He felt that they were quite cute. Although he didn't meet them, this move was also considered feeding.

Walking back to the camp, Bifang put down all the things on his body, sat on the ground, put a series of baobabs tied with ropes on the ground, picked one of them, and cracked it with the handle of the dagger, a bit like opening a walnut.

"The Chinese name 'baobab' is translated from one of its English names, 'monkey-bread tree', but its fruit cannot be used to make bread or a staple food, but can only be eaten as a snack. People say it is like bread, referring to the taste, not the texture. The taste is the same as fruit."

"The breadfruit tree, a plant of the genus jackfruit of the Moraceae family native to tropical Asia, is the food that can really fill the stomach because of its huge fruit and rich starch. Its English name is 'breadfruit', which is breadfruit."

"However, many people confuse baobab with breadfruit. In fact, they are distant relatives that have nothing to do with each other, just like fish and whales."

The fruit of the baobab tree is oblong, grayish white, about 30 cm long, and only half of it in longitudinal section, which is about 15 cm.

After knocking it open, you can see that it is very juicy and fluorescent, and the color is the same light yellow as cheese butter, which looks quite appetizing.

Bifang scraped off a piece with a knife and put it in his mouth to taste it carefully.

"The flesh is juicy, a little gelatinous, and tastes slightly sour. If it tastes like bread, you don't feel that way?"

The flesh is sour, which is not surprising to Bifang at all, and he is mentally prepared.

A large number of chemical processes in biological metabolism involve various acids, such as the famous tricarboxylic acid cycle in cellular respiration metabolism.

There are also quite a few in plant fruits, mainly from various intermediates in biological metabolism, such as citric acid. After the fruit matures, these acidic molecules will also be gradually metabolized, all of which are organic acids.

These acidic substances were originally necessary for the metabolic process, and they appeared in large quantities in immature fruits to avoid being eaten by animals when they are immature.

So basically all edible fruits in nature are sour, but the degree varies.

It's just that I didn't taste the bread, which disappointed Bifang.

Bifang guessed: "If you have to say, it may be that the sour taste is a bit like those breads that have been fermented too much yeast? So it tastes like bread?"

"If you squeeze juice, it's okay. Add some sugar, sour and sweet."

[Wow, sour bread! 】

[Damn, now I know what it tastes like? 】

Bifang didn't throw away the shell of the fruit.

The shell is also a good water storage container and can be used as a ladle.

"Although the taste is not very good, baobab fruit has high medical value. I heard that local people rarely get stomach cancer because they have been using baobab fruit for a long time."

"In addition, it can also be used as a food therapy medicine to reduce inflammation, reduce fever, and treat malaria."

"The taste is a bit worse, but it has a high calcium content and many antioxidant ingredients. The vitamin C content is three times that of oranges. If you mix it with grains, it can help lose weight. Many people regard it as a 'super fruit'."

If these introductions are relatively normal, then Bifang's next words are a bit "shocking".

"The most amazing thing is that it contains a lot of natural hormones that the human body needs. Women can promote endocrine balance and enhance fertility when they eat it. Local people will apply it on their chests to promote secondary development."

"It is also useful for men. It is almost a must-eat for local men in Africa. It can promote the division and maturation of spermatogonia, thereby increasing the level of male hormones in men, increasing the secretion, and improving the function of that thing."

"Men will also use it for smearing. As for where to know, everyone knows. It is also to promote hormone secretion and secondary development. That's about it. African men and women are more respectful of this thing."

Many people were stunned when they heard it.

[Those who know it in detail will understand]

[Wow, where can I buy this thing? Give me ten kilograms. There is no other purpose. It is mainly for conditioning my wife's body]

[Add one for conditioning my wife's body]

[Brother, I believe you]

[I have already looked for it, but there are only dried fruits, and there seems to be no fresh ones]

It is said that other audiences are not very interested, but they are excited when it comes to this aspect.

Bifang didn't say much. Although his live broadcast room has a label, basically there are no taboos, but it's better to say less about things that can't be said.

He picked a piece and handed it to Harley's mouth. Unfortunately, this guy smelled it and turned his head away. Obviously, he was not interested in fruit.

[Hahaha, Fang Shen is confused. Cheetahs eat meat. How can they eat fruit?]

[Harley: Just let me eat this? ]

[Who said it, my cat likes to eat fruit! Especially cantaloupe! 】

【ha? 】

[That’s right, cheetahs are also big cats, maybe they like them? 】

[I remember cats can’t taste sweet things]

"Felines basically eat meat, but sometimes they are interested in fruits. In the case of cantaloupe, I know why."

Without thinking, Bi Fang said: "The smell of ripe cantaloupe is very unique and is composed of volatile compounds such as amino acids, fatty acids, carotenoids and terpenoids."

"The smell of many of these amino acids and fatty acids is close to that of meat. Animals will think that cantaloupe is a kind of 'meat' with a unique taste, or because of its similarity in smell, they will include cantaloupe as safe to eat."

"As for why I like watermelons and strawberries, I don't know."

"But not everything can be fed. Not everything related to grapes. It may cause acute kidney injury and renal failure in cats."

"Citrus is also not acceptable, such as oranges, grapefruits, lemons, tangerines, etc., which contain citrus oil and psoralen. Ingestion of small amounts can cause gastrointestinal discomfort in cats, and large amounts can cause diarrhea, vomiting and central nervous system depression."

"There's basically nothing else. Baobabs are from the Kapok family, so there's no problem. Unfortunately, Harley doesn't appreciate them very much."

Since Cheetah was not interested, Bifang had no choice but to pass it to Jerry.

As a fruit lover, Jerry was very happy. He took it with his little hand and stuffed it into his mouth, one piece after another, until it became bulging.

In this regard, gambians share the same hobbies as hamsters.

Following Bifang for the past two days, he didn't eat any serious fruits, only some strange plant tubers, which were hard and tasteless. Today was a good thing for waiting.

This is why Bi Fang went up the tree to pick baobab fruits when there was enough food. Mainly because he remembered that he had a little one and didn't get much good food.

"During several major famines in African history, this 'natural bread' saved the lives of thousands of hungry people. When people traveling in the savanna were thirsty, they could just find a baobab tree and absorb water from the tree. It was saved, so some people call it the 'Tree of Life'."

"This tree has a very long life. In the 18th century, the French botanist Adamson saw some baobab trees in Africa. The oldest one lived for 5,500 years and called it the 'holy tree'."

After dealing with the weaver birds and some other trophies, it was almost dark.

There doesn't seem to be much done at the end of the day, but it is still very time-consuming, but I also get a lot of things.

At least there was no need to worry about food at the end of the day. There was also a lot of fruit, plus two tanned animal blankets, a large clay pot, a piece of soap, and a few water ladles. It was quite full.

The overall quality of life in the wilderness can be said to have skyrocketed.
