"There are only more than 200 of this big guy in the entire Banna rainforest. We are lucky to have encountered it. If it were a normal bison, we would have tasted it if we couldn't tell."
Bi Fang licked his lips and looked at the tendon meat all over the body of the white-limbed bison. If it weren't for ecological reasons, he would really like to taste it.
This is not a big lie. Although the white-legged bison is much more powerful than tigers in terms of pure attack power, it does not pose a greater threat to humans than tigers.
As long as you avoid the sharp edges and lay some traps, hunting bison is not a fantasy.
Hearing this, Leonardo on the side felt ashamed. Can meeting a white-limbed bison be considered lucky?
The snake he had worked so hard to catch just flew away, and his life was almost in danger. He had eaten something in the morning, was hungry, and was fine even for the whole day, but Bi Fang would be in danger next time.
Even Bifang can't succeed in hunting every time, right?
The audience was happy.
[666, this is really "taking food from the tiger's mouth"]
[Dare you steal Fang Shen’s things? 】
[Looking at the white-limbed bison not far away devouring snake meat, Lao Fang silently tightened his grip on the knife, but when he thought that it was a first-level protected animal, he frowned and finally loosened his grip silently]
[The white-legged bison felt a chill on the back of its neck and was about to run away, but then felt a burst of warmth. It looked up and saw the golden letters of the Wildlife Protection Act.]
"You haven't said just now, why do bison eat meat?" Leonardo was still curious. It was unheard of for cattle to eat meat, and he felt that there was already some other reason.
At this time, Leonardo felt that he was completely out of danger. He and Bifang were lying dozens of meters away, silently watching the bison, but they did not see a long black worm swimming under them at all.
Even Bifang was fascinated by the sight. White-limbed bison are only found in Banna in the entire Chinese territory. Banna only has two white heads, which means there are only two hundred of them in the whole of China. It happened to meet them. It is really rare.
If you really want to talk about it, it is his "honor" that the white-legged bison would like Bifang's food.
"It's not uncommon for bison to eat meat, mainly because..."
Just when Bifang was looking at it with great interest and wanted to explain, a strange tingling sensation appeared from the tiger's mouth of his left hand. The unusual touch blocked the words in his mouth, and he subconsciously glanced down.
This sight made him stunned.
An extremely huge black centipede suddenly crawled on his left hand!
"Why?" Leonardo hadn't noticed the situation on Bifang's side, and was curious that Bifang didn't say anything further, so he asked.
But he couldn't wait for Bi Fang's response, so he turned his head and glanced. It didn't matter if he didn't look, just look at it.
“holy shit!”
Leonardo was so frightened that he rolled over and almost jumped up from the ground, but when he thought of a bison not far away, he suppressed the urge and lay back on the ground again, his fingers trembling.
Pointing to Bifang's palm majestically: "Centipede! Centipede! Centipede!"
Bi Fang's eyes twitched, of course he knew it was a centipede.
Or the extremely ferocious red dragon centipede!
I thought I had turned the corner, but I didn't expect the real danger was yet to come!
Leonardo's exclamation brought the audience back to their senses. From the first-person perspective, when he saw the big centipede in his hand, he almost threw the phone out of his hand!
【Damn, what a big centipede!】
[Don’t turn the camera blindly, it’s his grandma’s, my hands are getting goosebumps]
[My hand shook just now, and my phone fell to the ground and the screen cracked... Can it be covered by warranty? 】
[Is this a fucking centipede? Why is it so big?]
[What’s under it? I vomited. It’s so disgusting]
Many people find it incredible. Many people have never even seen such a rough centipede. Now it is lying in the mouth of Bifang's tiger. It is as thick as a thumb, more than fifteen centimeters and nearly twenty centimeters in length!
Many people living in cities have never even seen a hard-shelled centipede, only occasionally seeing translucent centipedes in the cracks of bricks and stones on the roadside.
At this moment, Bi Fang was trembling with fear and did not dare to move at all.
Because he noticed that this was a female centipede...
In the abdomen of the giant centipede, there are countless small centipedes, constantly twisting and densely packed.
Bi Fang slowed down his breathing as much as possible, fearing that his breathing would startle the "big guy" in front of him.
This thing is really not easy to mess with
Bi Fang said softly: "If you read it correctly, this should be a red dragon centipede. It has a very ferocious character and usually adopts a 'shoot to kill' strategy towards small animals nearby. The one in front of us is still holding a child...
.”
Red dragon centipede?
The audience looked at it carefully with their eyes widened, and were surprised to find that the centipede was actually dark red, completely different from what they usually see.
However, there is insufficient light in the rainforest, making it appear a bit dark, so it appears black at first glance.
This guy only frequents the Banna rainforest.
Bi Fang spoke in English when he said this. Although everyone knew it was called the Red Dragon Centipede in the subtitles, this was not the case in Leonardo's ears, but it did not prevent him from knowing how terrifying this guy was.
At the moment, the centipede is not lying on his hand, but he can't help but keep clenching and unclenching his fists, and goosebumps appear on his whole arm.
The dead leaves all around seemed like other poisonous insects would appear at any time. In fact, Leonardo's worries were correct.
Centipedes like to live in groups...
And there is no doubt that no matter what kind of creature it is, it will appear particularly ferocious when it breeds offspring.
Red dragon centipedes usually mate from March to June and lay eggs from May to August, with nearly half a hundred eggs laid each time. After laying the eggs, the giant centipede will hold the eggs in its arms and hatch them, and they will hatch in twenty days.
It's June now. Counting the time, it's almost this time.
Trouble.
"Don't move at this time. It's best to let it crawl away. The only good news is that even if you are bitten by the Peruvian giant centipede and the Galapagos giant centipede, you will not die. The poison of centipedes is not a threat to humans. They are
A natural killer of small creatures.”
But before the audience could breathe a sigh of relief, Bi Fang continued: "But we still can't underestimate it. Being bitten by a small centipede will only cause local redness, swelling and pain. But being bitten by a large tropical centipede may cause lymphatic inflammation.
inflammation and tissue necrosis, and sometimes purpura appears in the entire limb."
The audience doesn't understand what purpura is, but they can still imagine tissue necrosis. Necrosis and other things are not simple at first hearing.
That's why Bi Fang was so nervous. There were white-legged bison in front and behind, and a red dragon centipede behind.
If he was really bitten, he probably wouldn't be able to handle it in time, and he wouldn't be able to use his left hand for the next half month.
"What should I do?" Leonardo asked on the side. He waved a slender branch he found from somewhere in his hand, "Can you open it?"
Bi Fang shook his head: "I'm afraid you can't open it as fast as it can bite it."
But contrary to expectations, it seemed that all the good luck of avoiding the white-legged bison was used up. After climbing into Bifang's tiger's mouth, the big centipede in front of him stood up half of its body, and its two tentacles were shaking back and forth, as if it was sizing up something.
.
The audience's hearts jumped into their throats.
A heavy cold sweat broke out on Bifang's forehead. He stared at the big centipede swinging its tentacles in front of him, but the next moment, a bunch of tentacle-like claws suddenly stretched out from the front of the centipede's forehead.
The next moment, he plunged into Bifang's tiger's mouth!
"I'm sorry!"
Bi Fang shook his hand away hard, but the centipede's fangs had already penetrated into the skin, and he did not shake it off for a moment. In desperation, Bi Fang directly grabbed the centipede with his right hand, pulled it down, and pressed it hard with his thumb!
How could the seemingly hard carapace withstand such a huge force? With a click, the huge centipede's head was directly crushed by Bifang. The originally arrogant centipede died immediately, and its body twitched on the dead leaves.
A burning pain like a burning flame spread from the tiger's mouth. Bifang grabbed the stone flakes from the funnel bag on his body and cut hard into the red and swollen wound.
The sharp stone touched the soft skin and opened a wound without much resistance.
In an instant, bright red blood flowed out, and along with the blood flowed out, there was also a translucent, orange-yellow unknown liquid.
When Bi Fang saw it, he was not only not surprised, but overjoyed.
Just let it flow out, but I'm afraid it won't flow out!
Bi Fang grabbed his left wrist with his right hand and pushed it up. More blood flowed out, and most of the burning pain disappeared: "The venom of centipedes is acidic. If you are bitten, you will feel burning pain, like
It was burned by fire, holy shit, it hurts!"
I wanted to explain it, but even after most of the venom was expelled, there was still a sharp pain in the tiger's mouth. The pain made his face turn white and he was sweating all over.
Leonardo on the side saw this and finally crawled over: "What should I do?"
"Vine, find me a vine!" Bi Fang's forehead was throbbing with veins, and he pushed up harder with his right hand, so that more venom would come out along with the blood.
He didn't fall down on the white-legged bison, but he was carried in the hand of a "tiny" centipede.
Leonardo looked around in panic, and found a tangled vine on a bush, and immediately crawled over to get it.
Bi Fang gritted his teeth and gasped. The pain of being poisoned was much more painful than simply digging out a piece of flesh. Even if the tiger's mouth was cut directly and the flesh and blood were blurred, Bi Fang didn't feel as much pain as now.
Leonardo's cane was quickly found, and Bifang stretched out his left hand: "Wrap it around my left hand, tighter."
Leonardo immediately followed suit and wrapped circles around Bifang's wrist.
"When bitten by a centipede, you should squeeze out the venom from the wound as quickly as possible. Then quickly find a piece of cloth and tie it tightly above the bite to prevent the venom from spreading. Remember to keep the piece of cloth 15
Release it every minute or so to avoid necrosis of the bite area."
"After binding the wound, quickly clean it with soapy water or use alcohol to disinfect it. After doing this, if you still feel uncomfortable, go to the hospital as soon as possible."
Leonardo immediately put down his backpack and was about to take out the alcohol. Unexpectedly, Bifang shook his head: "No, I'm in the wild now. Where can I use alcohol?"
The audience was shocked. Looking at Bi Fang's pale face, they knew how painful it was to be bitten by that guy. How could he still persist?
[Damn, if you really can’t help it, just use it]
[Cowhide, Fang Shen is a real man.]
Bi Fang looked up at the place where the white-legged bison was: "I just said that the poison of centipedes is acidic. If you want to relieve the pain, you can use alkaline things, such as plant ash."
But the white-limbed bison still stayed in the same place and did not leave.
It does not eat food quickly, but slowly, rather like chewing slowly.
Faced with snake meat stuck on a branch, the white-legged bison chose to chew the meat and branches together.
It's a combination of meat and vegetables.
It was a bitter experience for Bi Fang. Not only was the snake meat gone, he thought the white-legged bison appeared, so he had to lie down on the ground and was bitten by a giant centipede for no apparent reason.
Leonardo suggested: "How about lighting a new fire?"
"How to make a fire?" Bi Fang asked the other party, and raised his left hand, which had begun to swell. "Without charcoal, how can you make a fire by yourself? I can't use my left hand now."
Rather than regenerating a bonfire, it would be better to wait for the white-legged bison to leave.
Bi Fang twitched the corner of his mouth, but he had time to pick up the topic: "Actually, herbivores eating meat is a phenomenon that has been discovered a long time ago."
"Are you still in the mood to talk about this?" Leonardo was shocked. He felt that Bifang was throbbing in pain.
The audience was also impressed because Bi Fang's forehead was covered in sweat and it hurt just to look at him.
【Pain Mask.jpg】
【Beast roar.jpg】
【Ah, this is enough for you】
Bi Fang chuckled: "The more painful it is, the more you have to do something to divert your attention!"
"In addition, people have also observed other herbivores attacking small animals, such as deer and cattle eating rabbits, and squirrels eating small birds.
Even more powerful are hippos, which not only attack crocodiles, but also zebras."
Bi Fang explained patiently, and unconsciously, the pain seemed to be relieved a lot.
"Herbivores are actually not suitable for eating meat. This is mainly determined by their body structure. Take cows for example. Plants are rich in cellulose. Cellulose is difficult to decompose, so humans eat more
Eat fiber-rich vegetables to relieve constipation.
In order to digest cellulose, herbivores also need external aid, that is, microorganisms. However, microorganisms also have a shortcoming, that is, their decomposition time is slow and they are not acid-resistant.
Therefore, in order to retain microorganisms, herbivores have evolved stomachs with lower gastric acid content. However, stomachs with lower gastric acid cannot kill microorganisms in meat.
In addition, cattle digest food very slowly, which will lead to meat spoilage, and the putrefied microorganisms will produce many biological toxins, threatening the health of the cattle.
Complete herbivores are simply not suitable for eating meat."
"Then isn't this more contradictory?" Leonardo was confused. According to this, isn't the scene in front of him even weirder?
"There are many reasons. One is the lack of vitamins in the animal's body, which leads to a phenomenon similar to 'pica.' But some experts believe that the reason why cattle eat meat is simply because they do not reject meat.
Another situation is that during seasons of food shortage, animals will also change the characteristics of food to obtain energy from it. For example, in northern areas with thick snow, herbivores have difficulty finding enough food and will eat the animals they find.
remains."
【Damn, I really eat meat!】
【A little scared】
[No wonder I saw a squirrel on a tree dragging a dead mouse...it turned out to be eating it...]
While Bi Fang was speaking, the white-legged bison finally finished eating its food and was wandering about to leave.
Upon seeing this, Leonardo immediately wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Bifang.
"Wait a little longer. With their sensitive sense of smell and hearing, the white-legged bison can sense human activities within a range of 200 meters. Wait a few more minutes until it is farther away."
Finally, ten minutes after the white-legged bison disappeared, Bi Fang staggered up from the ground, ran to the campfire, grabbed a handful of black ash and pressed it on the wound.
