Three hundred and ninety-four chapters into Baoshan and empty-handed
"It's not false. We haven't reached the place yet. Animals in Africa usually come out in the morning and evening, mainly to drink water, so we need to find water sources so that a large number of animals will gather there. Even if there are animals here, they are hiding in
It's hard to get back in the bush." Yerong is not as impatient as Hong Tao. Although he is not as good as the Maasai hunters who have lived here for generations, he still understands better than Hong Tao.
The convoy marched for nearly an hour, and the surrounding scenery was still the same. Hong Tao felt as if he was spinning in circles. The only difference that could be seen was that the convoy was climbing uphill, and there was a gentle highland in front of it.
"Don't scream for a while. You'd better let go of the gun and cover your mouth with your hand." When Hong Tao's car was about to reach the top of the hill, Holland, who was sitting in front, turned back to Hong Tao and said
made an inexplicable remark.
"Holy crap!..." Just when Hong Tao thought he had heard the word wrong, the off-road vehicle lowered forward and finally climbed over the high slope. The sight in front of him really almost made Hong Tao almost
screamed!
Looking down from the top of this 100-meter-high slope, there is still an endless prairie in front. The acacia forest is like a skin disease on the grassland. There are patches here and there, covering the grassland darkly. It is about one kilometer.
There is a very wide river running through the grassland outside. On both sides of the river, countless animals seem to suddenly appear here. They are lying or lying on the grass or resting in the bushes. There are so many types that I originally thought
Hong Tao, who was quite knowledgeable himself, was a little overwhelmed.
The closest to Hong Tao and the others were dozens of cattle-like and deer-like animals. They were standing just below the high slope. When they saw several behemoths suddenly appearing on the top of the high slope, they did not appear particularly panicked and continued to eat on the spot.
They were touching the grass on the ground. It wasn't until Hong Tao and the others got off the off-road vehicle that the dozens of animals began to walk slowly and further away.
"These are Lee's hartebeest. There are a lot of them. Don't rush to shoot them now. If the gun goes off, the other more precious prey will all run away." Holland pressed down the gun that Hong Tao had raised and explained to him the reason.
The guns of Fat Boss and Boss Liu were also suppressed by their hunting guides.
"Hong Tao, this is not hunting, this is massacre. Don't ask me how many prey I can catch. It depends on how many bullets you can give me." The fat boss was so excited that his whole body was shaking. The four people present
Except in documentaries, when have Chinese people seen so many animals appearing in the same place at the same time?
"Are those lions?" Hong Tao saw 7 or 8 lions lying on the grass through the telescope. There were many animals not far away, but they had no intention of rushing up and killing them.
"Yes, but we can't fight. The male lion is not old enough." Holland put down the binoculars and rejected Hong Tao's suggestion.
"There are giraffes over there. If there are no lions, a giraffe will do!" Hong Tao looked like Grandma Liu had just entered the Grand View Garden, and it looked good.
"Giraffes are not hunting animals, let alone hunted." Holland did not even raise his binoculars this time.
"Hong Tao, what are you muttering about? What are you waiting for? Let's get started!" The fat boss couldn't bear it any longer. He pointed at the large group of animals in front of him and asked.
"Fat man, be quiet. I was trained for nothing when I was in the United States before coming here. You have to listen to the hunting guides about what you can and can't hunt. Why are you so anxious? Suddenly I saw such a large number of live wild animals, and there were so many wild animals.
I'm not afraid of people, so I'm a little embarrassed to take action, it's a bit overwhelming." Boss Liu had already put the gun on the ground at this time, holding his camera in his hand.
"Isn't this a cheap bone? If it's too much, I can't bear to fight it, but if it's too little, I have to spend money to fight it!" The fat boss obviously didn't understand Boss Liu's mood.
"Did you find it?" Holland asked Hoffman and Xiaokeye.
"I didn't find it...what a pity!" Hoffman just shook his head. Xiao Keye's tone was a bit regretful.
"Tao, ask your photographer to hurry up and take pictures. We can only stay for 10 minutes and then continue to the next hunting spot. There is no prey we need here. We have to hurry up." Holland turned his head and said to Hong Tao.
"Ah! With so many animals, there are only a few that can be beaten!!!?" Hong Tao was a little unhappy. He even suspected that the Dutchman was avenging himself by getting them drunk the night before.
"Our main targets are male lions, male bison, male rhinos, male leopards and male elephants of sufficient age. Unfortunately, there are none here. As for other animals, we can encounter the same ones anytime and anywhere. There is no need to be here.
What do you think about destroying such a peaceful atmosphere?" Hoffman, who had been silent until now, finally spoke, and what he said was reasonable and well-founded, making it difficult for Hong Tao to say anything.
"It's okay, I agree with Hoffman's suggestion. There's no point in hunting these sheep and cows. People won't run away when they see you. How dare you put a gun in their mouth and fire? Let's go, Fatty." Boss Liu listened.
After finishing Hong Tao's translation, he didn't have any objections. The fat boss just clicked his little eyes and looked at the group of animals with reluctance. It is estimated that the animals have turned into plates of steaming delicacies in his eyes.
"Can I get closer?" Wei Han, who was carrying the camera, had not been idle for a moment since the car stopped. He stood and knelt for a while, looking for multiple angles to take pictures of the river in front of him and the surrounding area.
These wild animals on the riverside grassland.
"Go ahead, don't go beyond that forest, hurry up." Hoffman pointed at a small patch of bushes only ten meters away from the high slope and said to Wei Han.
After receiving the permission, Wei Han ran down the high slope in a flash. At the same time, his right eye did not leave the camera, and his feet did not slow down at all. Hong Tao was stunned by Wei Han's ability. It seemed that he had done everything well.
It’s not easy. I don’t know how many times I have to fall down to master this technique of running without looking at the road.
Ten minutes later, the hunting team all waited for the bus on time, and slowly retreated from the high slope. They drove back along the original road for more than ten minutes, then turned left and continued to the next hunting point. As for this hunting point,
Where and how many hunting spots there are in total, Hong Tao is not even interested in asking, because it is useless to ask. The scenery here is similar everywhere, and there are no obvious geographical coordinates. Even if it is marked on the map, Hong Tao is not sure.
You can identify the right direction yourself.
"Hey, look, it's a herd of giraffes!"
"Hey, look, it's a herd of bison!"
"Hey, look, those two hippos are fighting!"
"Hey, look, there's a tornado!"
Along the way, the convoy encountered various animals from time to time, causing Wei Han, who had been standing in the carriage with half of his body exposed to take the camera, to scream in various ways. At first, Hong Tao also lay on the window and screamed along, but everyone
After seeing too many animals, we become less excited.
Those animals are just like the domestic animals we see when we pass a village while driving in China. They are not afraid of people and cars at all. Several times, the convoy passed through a herd of wildebeest or antelope. Those animals were at most
That is to say, just give way to the convoy for a little while, and then continue to do whatever you need to do.
The only thing that interests Hong Tao and Wei Han is the constant appearance of tornadoes on the grassland. A place that was calm just now will suddenly turn into a spiraling airflow, and then stir up all kinds of weeds, leaves, and dust on the ground.
It rose to an altitude of tens or hundreds of meters, and then suddenly disappeared, as if there was a monster making trouble there.
"These small tornadoes appear thousands of times every day. Compared with the tornadoes in the interior of the United States, they are basically not lethal. At most, they will blow you all over." When Hong Tao asked whether these tornadoes would cause danger,
Holland Pee showed no sign of worry at all.
The convoy drove for another hour or so and stopped next to an acacia forest. This time there was a lot of movement. Finally, five black men got out of the pickup truck, all holding machetes. They then divided into two teams, one
One team cut down the bushes on the left, and one team cut down the bushes on the right, creating a passage straight into the woods.
