Chapter 248 The Taste of Mom
evening.
Bifang opened his eyes, the golden sun was reflected in his pupils. He rubbed his eyes and sat up dazed. It took him a while to realize that he had slept for the whole afternoon.
The program crew who discovered Bifang had awakened started the live broadcast again. In an instant, more than 800,000 viewers crowded in, and the number continued to grow wildly, almost causing the platform network to be disconnected.
After a few minutes, the number exceeded one million, and the data was still rising, with a trend of reaching two million. At present, except for some global events, no other anchor can reach such an astonishing number of views.
Perhaps it was because he had survived a disaster and completed his mission. After a good night's sleep, Bifang was full of energy and finally had time to deal with his biggest gain this time.
A two-meter-long white-tip shark!
Will there be hunting rewards?
Bifang was secretly looking forward to it. The previous few times he caught large biological systems, he had received very good rewards. The wolf king's sense of smell allowed him to easily identify smells, making it easier to catch prey, and the extremely strong digestion and absorption ability given by the fish king's stomach reduced his chances of contracting parasites and infections to a minimum.
He had killed the shark almost himself, piercing its gills with a spear, killing it instantly.
If it's a shark, what's the reward, or is it the sense of smell?
In terms of sense of smell, sharks are a species with a stronger sense of smell than wolves.
But adding the sense of smell would be too boring, Bifang shook his head.
Getting the best is an unexpected surprise, and it is worth the experience of life and death. If you don’t get it, there is no regret, because we are pursuing a wonderful life.
Bifang put on dry clothes, came to the raft, and grasped the obsidian dagger in his hand, ready to harvest the spoils.
[By the way, didn’t Lao Fang say that sharks have a strong sense of smell? I saw blood on the shark’s body, why didn’t it follow? ]
[Why did you come here when you were full? Are you free? ]
[Ah, this makes sense! ]
【It is better to listen to your words than to hear your words】
[I heard that you can smell it more than ten kilometers away? ]
Bifang on the raft was cutting shark steaks. Hearing this, he shook his head and said, "The shark's sense of smell is very sensitive, even outrageous, but it's actually not as far as the rumors say, several kilometers or even dozens of kilometers away. The actual distance is less than one kilometer."
Bifang's words surprised the audience. How could it be so little? How did the shark track its prey? Luck?
"This is actually a medium problem. A 100-kilogram mammal only has about 7 to 8 liters of blood in its body. Even if this blood is diluted to one part per billion in seawater, the diffusion range is only more than 300 meters. Sharks have a strong sense of smell, but it is only within this range. It is basically impossible to smell it from several kilometers away."
"As for why sharks can track so far, it's not the sense of smell, but an organ called the ampulla of Lorenzini. You see, it's these pits."
Many parts of the whitetip shark's surface were damaged, but some areas were still relatively intact.
Bifang turned the shark over and pointed to a piece of intact skin, which was mainly black in color and had a large number of pits on it, growing on both sides of the shark's face.
"There is a kind of electroreceptive crystal in these pits, which can detect weak electric fields. It is extremely sensitive. I remember that it can detect a voltage of several billionths of a volt per square centimeter. It is with this thing that sharks can sense prey from several kilometers away. People who have watched Animal World should know that sharks like to sway left and right when they move forward, because sharks need to scan constantly in different directions, just like radar. In order to make better use of this organ, many sharks have evolved to make their abdominal pot wider, such as hammerhead sharks. For them, the larger the body, the more obvious the advantage of the abdominal pot."
[Fuck, it's actually like this? ]
[Does Lao Fang know too much? Biologists are online]
Bifang didn't obviously agree: "It's not bad actually, mainly because I know more about large carnivores."
As a wilderness expert, not to mention some rare poisonous creatures, he must have a special understanding of some large animals that can threaten his life.
Sharks in the sea, lions on the grassland, tigers in the forest, and wolves in the wilderness, these are all things that need special attention.
If you don’t understand these, don’t get involved.
After removing the shark meat, Bifang did not throw away the skeleton.
"We can hardly find shark fossils. We can only see some sharp teeth. Apart from the teeth, the rest of the shark's body is cartilage, which is easy to decompose. So don't throw it away. This thing is edible."
Bifang held a shark bone and broke it with a little force. It was very elastic and obviously different from normal bones.
[Damn, I can eat it? ]
[The white tip shark's fins didn't fall off! Didn't Mr. Fang have a treat? ]
[How cool! Eating shark fin while surviving in the wilderness? Damn, I'm jealous]
After lighting the charcoal, Bifang smiled when he saw the barrage. Shark fin might be delicious, but the taste would definitely not be good if it was not processed, and it might even be more unpalatable than most meats.
"Sharks don't have urinary systems. Their excrement is completely transported to the outside of the body through muscles and skin, so their meat is full of urea. The meat of some species is even poisonous, such as the Arctic sleeper shark. In addition, mercury is easily enriched in sharks, and shark fins contain a certain amount of neurotoxins, which are potentially harmful to the human body. So it's best to eat less shark fins, as they are not good for health at all. However eating. The texture of the cartilage is not as good as that of farmed sturgeon, but the nutritional value is higher, and it is much tastier than shark fins."
The main reason for shark fishing is still for cod liver oil, chondroitin, squalene and leather, but it is undeniable that shark fins and squalene are the overall value of sharks and should not be viewed separately.
【？ ？ ？】
[Strange knowledge has increased]
[WTF? Urinating through the skin? I've learned something new]
[No wonder I always felt a faint smell of urine when I ate shark meat last time. ]
[No killing, no trade]
[Can sturgeon still be eaten? Report the fish that has been jailed for a long time]
[We talked about breeding...]
Bifang picked up a piece of cut shark meat and washed it in sea water, but before he brought it close to his nose, he could still smell a strong smell of urine.
Forget it, Bifang no longer hesitated and ate whatever was available. He scraped off a layer of shark skin and put in the shell.
"If you eat shark meat in normal life, it is definitely unhealthy. However, when you are surviving at sea, shark meat is a good thing. It is high in calories and sodium, and is the best choice for replenishing energy."
While the meat was grilling, Bifang wrapped the shark skin he had just scraped off around his palm, then took the obsidian dagger, removed the fabric at the tail, and wrapped it with thick shark skin again.
Shark skin is not as smooth as it looks. It has scales, a layer of very fine shield scales. If not handled properly, it can easily affect the quality of the meat. However, Bifang didn't care about this and scraped it off casually. At this time, he felt that it felt very good and the texture was very deep.
Just dry it in the sun and you can use it.
Bifang took off the shark skin and hung it on a vertical pole beside him. Then he picked up a piece of shark meat that was almost roasted and tasted it.
“Hmm…”
The audience waited for Bifang to give his comments.
Bifang chewed the shark meat and felt that it was actually not bad. He was a man who had eaten earthworms before, so he was quite accepting of shark meat. After tasting it...
“The taste is strong, but the texture is OK and chewy!”
【Ah, it’s the smell of mom! 】
[Fuck, now that you mention it, I have a picture! ]
[Frowning, the taste is coming]
[I can’t bear to look at the word “tender teeth”. 】
[Nothing tastes bad when it enters Fang Shen's mouth! ]
On the twelfth day of survival at sea, a shark was caught.
