Chapter 279 Death Mushroom
After listening to Fang's explanation, even though many people did not believe it at first, they gradually became suspicious. When some netizens checked it online, this suspicion turned into complete shock.
It's fucking outrageous!
There is really no cure for the common cold!
"The treatment of colds relies on the body's own immune mechanism. The main physiological effect of Echinacea is to enhance immunity, and it is very direct. You may see the words "enhancing immunity" in the descriptions of many health foods, but most health foods, such as ginseng, wheat seedlings, antioxidant plants, etc., are more indirect . They all strengthen the body first, and then the immunity will naturally improve. The immunity-enhancing mechanism of Echinacea is more direct. After taking it, it can immediately stimulate the immune system, so that the body's ability to fight pathogens is improved in the shortest time, which is completely comparable to special medicines. Because of this characteristic, Echinacea is not suitable for long-term and uninterrupted use of low- to medium-dose. It should be taken when needed."
[Awesome! Did Master Fang secretly study medicine? ]
[You can’t go into the wilderness without learning medicine! I want to save the wilderness]
[You always show off like this, but the second battalion commander is tired of serving noodles, the oranges are also tired of being sold every day, and Mr. Chen is also very tired of giving awards every day. I want to go back and write articles properly.]
[…It was really hard to pull out the 40-meter-long sword and then pull it back. The price of the Dihuazhixiu hand sanitizer has increased, and the paint on the trophy has been peeled off. Have you ever cared about these? No, you only care about yourself! ]
[But will this work even if it doesn't bloom? ]
"This is another feature of Echinacea . Its flowers and roots are useful. It is just as useful even without flowers, as long as you can find the roots. The most important thing is that it is a perennial herb. The so-called perennial means that it can live for more than two years. Its roots are always there, and you can find it no matter what season it is. Unfortunately, Marcus didn't recognize it at all, or he didn't know it at all."
There was a hint of regret in Bifang's tone.
The audience can understand, and even feel a little disappointed. It would be fine if you didn’t find it, but the thing is right in front of you and you don’t recognize it!
What’s the difference between this and going to a mountain of treasure and coming back empty-handed?
I gave you a chance, but you are useless!
Countless people felt regret at this moment, but then they were filled with admiration for Bifang. If they were in his place, would they be able to recognize him?
If they are not in bloom, even a Chinese medicine student might not be able to recognize them when they see a pile of weeds, right?
[Lao Fang is really awesome, he knows everything, unlike me, I see everything as weeds]
[One more thing, the last time I drove past a farm with a friend, he couldn't even tell the difference between wheat and rice, let alone herbs.]
[When can I be as good as Fang Shen? ]
[Stop talking, I still can’t tell the difference between leeks and weeds]
[Things that can be cut are leeks, and those that cannot be cut are weeds (dog heads save lives)]
[Weeds can be cut just like weeds (funny)]
Bifang didn't care about the audience's flattery. It was because he was used to it.
Since obtaining the orange skill Wilderness Traveler, his ability to identify various plants has greatly improved. He can recognize many common herbs at a glance, which is a very practical ability.
What are you most afraid of in the later stages of wilderness survival?
It’s nothing more than injury and illness. Knowing how to use medicine is more important than learning how to farm.
It seems like I won’t make it through today.
Marcus' condition is getting worse and worse. Not to mention being forced to withdraw from the competition, he will probably press the emergency button on his own initiative this afternoon and wait to withdraw.
Just as Bifang was thinking this, a slightly urgent alarm suddenly sounded.
"What's wrong?" Bifang immediately took off his headphones and asked the staff.
"Someone pressed the SOS button."
Bifang immediately looked at Marcus, but found that there was nothing unusual about him. He was still sitting against the tree, looking like he was about to fall asleep.
"It's not him, it's someone else."
The staff immediately switched the screen, and it turned out to be another contestant, who was about 40 years old and one of the older ones.
There was nothing abnormal about the contestant who pressed the distress button at this moment, except that his eyes seemed to have lost something, and he collapsed to the ground, motionless.
"Give up voluntarily?"
Bifang narrowed his eyes. He was not sick and was not in danger. So he gave up just like that?
I thought Marcus would be the first to be eliminated, but I didn’t expect someone to give up earlier than him, and in better condition.
Since there was nothing unusual, Bi Fang stayed in the cabin and did not set off with the rescue team.
After the helicopter brought the contestant back, the medical team did not find anything abnormal, except that his blood sugar was slightly low due to not eating for two days.
At this time, the contestant was eating bread in the helicopter, wiping his tears while chewing, muttering: "I am so tired, so tired, I can't hold on any longer..."
Jarrett stood beside Bifang and sighed, "It's really unexpected that the first person to be eliminated is not Marcus."
"The wilderness has always been ruthless. His will has become somewhat fragile."
Bifang's thoughts couldn't help but drift. The wilderness was ruthless, and not everyone could endure this pressure.
Even if the production crew is on standby at all times , they may not be able to react to many dangers, not to mention being hungry for two days and being physically and mentally exhausted.
The pressure of being alone in the wilderness is unimaginable. Barrage is barrage, but when you really do things, you have to rely on yourself for everything, and the feeling of loneliness can never be erased.
Humans are social animals. They always subconsciously rely on the power of the group. If they suddenly lose their support, they will panic.
Being able to stabilize is worth encouraging.
Jarrett patted Bifang on the shoulder and said, "Let's go. Everything is fine here."
Bifang nodded, returned to his seat and put on his headphones again. He told Marcus that he didn't need to worry about it, as the supervisors of the program team would take care of it.
Today is the second day of the competition. If we can’t find food, many people will not be able to hold on, not physically but mentally.
Fortunately, many contestants began to try eating things they had never tried before, such as earthworms, mosses, and lichens.
The audience was surprised to find that compared to these things, what Bifang had eaten in the past seemed to be pretty good: rabbit meat, wolf meat, snake meat, venison, and various types of fish. No matter how it tasted, it was at least meat.
It wasn't until the appearance of another contestant that attracted the attention of the program crew. In the picture, the contestant was holding a mushroom with a wandering look, as if he was struggling with whether he could eat it.
"Wait, Bifang, take a look at this."
The camera director immediately switched the camera to Bifang. He was not sure whether the mushroom was edible, so he asked Bifang to judge. At this time, the contestant in the picture seemed to recognize the mushroom and put it into his mouth boldly...
"Stop! Quick, warn this guy and make him stop!"
Bifang suddenly shouted, scaring everyone, but the staff reacted very quickly and immediately warned the contestants.
A sharp and rapid scream suddenly came from Bogdo's bracelet, which scared him so much that his hand trembled, and the white mushroom fell to the ground, covered with dust.
Seeing the mushrooms fall to the ground, Bifang breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the staff with a stern expression.
"Tell him he's eliminated!"
Everyone was shocked by Bifang's serious look. Although they were puzzled, no one questioned his decision. In everyone's mind, Bifang had already become an authority.
Only Pangdi looked at the fallen mushrooms thoughtfully.
“Are there any problems with mushrooms?”
"Well, the Angel of Death Mushroom." Bifang's face was frighteningly gloomy at this moment.
Pang Di was surprised, because he had heard of the fame of this mushroom.
Although he didn't recognize it just now, he vaguely understood why Bifang was angry.
Where did this young man come from? How dare he sign up without any common sense?
It’s OK if you don’t recognize it, that’s normal. There are so many types of mushrooms, it’s impossible to recognize them all, but you didn’t even do an edibility test!
It's just a lack of the most basic common sense!
[Death Angel Mushroom? Damn, poisonous mushroom?]
[Shit, is it a poisonous mushroom? I thought it was edible, but it tastes exactly like what I normally eat]
There is no need for Bifang to explain in detail, the audience can tell that this mushroom is extraordinary just by hearing the name.
Is this the name of a real mushroom?
"This mushroom contains amatoxin, which can inhibit RNA polymerase and interfere with various cell functions. Poisoning usually starts in the liver and kidneys and can kill people within 2 days. It is a deadly poisonous mushroom. It is also one of the most common deadly mushrooms in North America. More importantly, it is very similar to edible straw mushrooms and button mushrooms, and it is easy to be poisoned by mistake."
"If I hadn't stopped him just now, he would have swallowed it now. It's not too much to eliminate him! When surviving in the wilderness, the most taboo thing is to eat anything carelessly, especially mushrooms! No matter how similar it is, you should be on guard. If he had just done an edibility test, I wouldn't have eliminated him directly, but he didn't! If this is real survival, then he is already dead!"
The so-called edibility test is a series of test methods to determine whether an unknown plant is edible. Through a series of methods such as looking, smelling, skin contact, oral testing, chewing, and finally eating in small amounts, it is finally confirmed that a plant is edible.
As long as the other party has done a round of testing, they will understand that this thing cannot be eaten.
This is the first time that the audience has seen such a strict Bifang, but they also understand Bifang's anger.
The other party was too frivolous, even arrogant, when it came to the mushrooms that were most likely to cause trouble.
On the screen, you can also see the contestant arguing with the program crew. He does not think he is wrong and believes that there is a shady deal behind his elimination. Until he is told that it is the Death Angel Mushroom, he still seems unconvinced and retorts.
"Isn't the growing season for Death Angels summer and autumn? It's only the beginning of spring, how could there be any?"
Bifang held his forehead with his hand, as if he was so angry that he laughed, and pointed at the contestant on the screen and said mercilessly.
"This is a typical egomaniac. He only learns half of the things and has never deeply understood the characteristics of the plants. The Death Angel Mushroom is just like the straw mushroom and the button mushroom, but the difference still exists. It is easy for people who understand to distinguish. Moreover, the growth cycle of mushrooms is short and there is no fixed growing season. As long as there are nutrients required for growth and the temperature, humidity and other environmental conditions meet the requirements, they can grow all year round. The temperature has warmed up in the past two days, which is completely suitable for the growth environment of the Death Angel. You can tell him, if he doesn't believe it, just keep eating it. If nothing goes wrong, I will pay him 100,000 ugly gold myself!"
Ah this...
The staff on the other end of the walkie-talkie looked at each other. Of course they couldn't do that, so they ignored the other party's reaction and carried him towards the helicopter. One of them picked up some mushrooms on the ground.
You have to make the other party give up.
The next morning, both were eliminated.
